Chapter 14 The Nightmare

The destruction of the crystal fungus brought endless wealth to Lin.

Lin ate them clean, and then occupied all the food cracks they originally occupied, splitting and growing like crazy.

Now, Lin's cell community exceeds 30,000, and each type has a considerable number, and there are relatively few explosive balls. After all, these cells have no use other than fighting.

Lin occupies 50% of the entire rock. It can be said to be the most powerful group in this area. Although there are some large groups of cells nearby, Lin does not plan to attack them first, but adjusts the current largest group. The problem.

perception.

Lin has only one observer from beginning to end. Of course, it is impossible for such a single cell to observe the entire colony, even if it swims back and forth at a high place, so most of Lin's colony is in a state of unconsciousness.

There is only touch, although eating is enough, but it is difficult to react when encountering danger, especially what to do with viruses?

Lynne needs more feeling.

But how to get the feel? Lin wanted to find out from those stinging cells that the stinging cells will automatically fire when the enemy approaches, so how does it know? Acupuncture cells do not have eyes, but they can also distinguish between friend and foe.

It was still touch, but a very powerful touch.

Only after Lin had reached 30,000 in the community did she know how to start thinking about this issue.

When each cell moves, it will fluctuate the surrounding water flow. This fluctuation can actually be transmitted far and far, but it will become smaller and smaller, but there is still a way to feel it, and then come from the subtle differences.

Lin didn't know how to strengthen these perceptions. It just started the training of two basic cells, one of which was standing still, while the other was shaking vigorously, arousing the flow of water.

And the one who doesn't move must carefully feel the currents. After feeling a certain level, the one that shakes swims farther away and continues to move, and then the one that doesn't move still tries to feel it in place.

It seems like a very strange method, but it was successfully tried by Lin. This basic cell has successfully evolved a much more powerful ability than the original sense of touch. Finally, under Lin's further experiments, their perception distance It's almost the same as acupuncture cells.

These basic cells retain their ability after division, even when they evolve into other cells, but some types are worse, such as diggers and cone cells, maybe their hardened surface affects the feeling, but Not a big problem.

In this way, Lin's community will be stronger, so that Lin is no longer afraid of entering the dark.

Lin had been exposed to the darkness several times, and that feeling was the same as when she had no vision at first. Everything around her was plunged into endless darkness, and Lin's vision was no longer useful.

In this environment, Lin's group could only gather together motionlessly. Fortunately, this darkness would only last for a while, and then the light soon illuminated everything again.

Lin didn't understand what this phenomenon was at first, but now there are words in her mind to describe this phenomenon... dark night.

It seems to be a fixed phenomenon, the light lasts for a period of time, then it turns to night, the night lasts for a period of time, and the light shines again on everything.

Every time she was in the dark, Lin could only feel fear and helplessness, but now that Lin has new sensory abilities, she no longer has to fear the coming of the night.

Lin thought that the time was almost up.

The surrounding light has begun to dim, just as Lin expected, the night will always come at this time.

The light slowly dissipated from the water, and Lin's field of vision began to become narrow. Finally, when Lin's field of vision disappeared completely, it felt that the temperature in the water became cold.

There are more than 30,000 cell groups, like wandering in nothingness, Lin can't see them at all, but this time, there is still a feeling in her thoughts,

The cells felt the shaking of their companions around each other, as well as the small water currents in the cracks of the food, and the food gushing out from it.

Lin's sense of fear was much smaller than when she encountered the darkness at the beginning, but she still had to be careful. Even if she had a new feeling, she couldn't be careless in the dark.

Lin's thoughts are all over every cell, and it can clearly know the feeling of all cells. Lin is already familiar with which kind of water flow is sent out by the activities of the cells near her, and which kind is not.

Among the countless sensations, Lin discovered a small feeling, different from the feeling of her own cells... This small thing slowly approached the outermost group of cells in Lin.

Lin doesn't know its exact size, because it hasn't carefully tested which water flow corresponds to which size, but this barely perceptible tiny feeling should be quite small.

This small fluctuation came from either an alien creature or some kind of debris. Lin chose to avoid it. It was unwilling to take any risks. Lin let the cells that were approached stay away from this small thing.

Lin has a bad feeling.

However, at this moment, a stream of water just rushed through, and Lin's feeling for this little thing disappeared. Lin felt pain almost at the same time, and then Lin clearly felt again that the little thing was sticking to the cell membrane. And plan to drill inside!

It's a virus!

Lin immediately kept all the surrounding cells away from the drilled cell, and let the acid injectors drive over, only they could kill the virus.

The cell that was attacked by the virus felt the same as before. It first caused severe pain, and then slowly began to lose control. When it was completely out of control, Lin could confirm that the cell was dead.

Before then, must be there!

Swimming at full speed, the acid feeders finally arrived at the location when Lynn's cells were almost completely out of control, and they immediately spewed massive amounts of lysate on the infected cell.

At this time, Lin's sense of infected cells disappeared, and she was probably dead.

Seeing nothing, feeling nothing, Lin felt so uneasy for the first time, she had no idea whether those acid injectors had killed the virus.

After the acid injector had almost finished spraying, Lin stopped, carefully feeling for the presence of any virus fluctuations in the water flow full of solution.

Lin suddenly received a strange feeling.

It wasn't the swimming of the virus, but the feeling of the cells that should have been infected and died came back, and Lin was able to control it again.

What does it mean?

Lin no longer felt severe pain in this cell, as if it had nothing to do with it.

But Lin can't see it yet, and I don't know what happened. Didn't this cell explode just now?

In that case, the acid injector's dissolving solution might not be able to hurt it, and Lin just wanted to wait for the cells to explode and let the acid injector dissolve them when a large number of viruses burst out.

But Lin has never encountered such a situation. Could it be that this cell just fainted for a while?

What is halo? Is there another special state besides 'dead' and 'alive'?

It was the first time that Lin knew this word, but it was able to understand it, as if 'halo' could temporarily disconnect her thoughts.

Lin doesn't know what to do now, and she doesn't know whether to keep this cell alive.

Lin could only wait, until the night passed, and then use her eyesight to confirm its condition, and now she has to be guarded by acid injectors.

Until the light shines...

Time passed slowly, and Lin didn't dare to neglect him. Hundreds of acid injectors surrounded the cell until the night completely dissipated.

The light came again, illuminating everything around her, Lin's vision worked again, and the fear of the night completely disappeared.

Lin immediately went to observe the virus-infected, but healthy cell.

But after seeing it, I felt suspicious.

This cell is an ordinary basal cell, which is mainly composed of a relatively transparent outer membrane and a gray core, but this infected cell has a bright red color overall.

Other than that, nothing special...
