Chapter 17 The Glittering Cave

Compassion?

What exactly is this? Is this compassion good or bad? It seems that this is the feeling that occasionally pops up when Lin wants to kill.

But it's weird isn't it? Lin occasionally kills the cells of her own community or kills them because of experimental viruses, but she doesn't feel when she does these things to her own cells.

Is it because it is 'self' that I don't feel it?

Lin doesn't understand, Lin can only know that this sympathy will prevent herself from continuing to grow and expand the community.

So Lynn shouldn't follow it.

Lin named this group of luminous cells Light Fungus, and then Lin decided to attack them.

Lin let the clustered clusters spread out and spread out to attack the surrounding light bacteria. Although the light bacteria had no resistance, their swimming speed was quite fast. Lin did not have any kind of cells that could catch up with them.

Therefore, Lin began to use some surrounding tactics to drive the light bacteria into the corner. After all, this is a cave and there will always be an end.

Soon, Lin successfully drove more than half of the light bacteria to the end of the cave. When there was no way behind, the light bacteria were crowded together, like a huge luminous object, and the light seemed to be much brighter. , so that Lin can hardly see clearly.

But it wouldn't stop Lin from attacking them.

To deal with a large number of enemies in groups, Lin summoned the cell with the strongest group killing ability-Blast Ball.

These large cells, which are filled with deadly liquid and ready to explode at any time, can easily destroy large-scale enemies. Although many of these slow-moving cells are washed away by the water flow outside, there are still a lot left, enough to kill the whole place. All the light bacteria gone.

Lin first made dozens of exploding balls come forward and approached the group of light bacteria piled at the end of the cave. The exploding balls did not stop after they approached their opponents. They twisted their bodies desperately to squeeze into the light bacteria group, and then quickly absorbed water and swelled their bodies. , and then - bang!

A blasting ball exploded, and the dissolved liquid released from the body instantly dissolved hundreds of light bacteria around it into powder.

The blasting balls exploded one after another, and almost every time they exploded, the colony of light bacteria would become smaller, and their overall light would be dimmed.

Lynn doesn't like slaughter, but it won't stop until the last of the light germs have rotted into powder.

However, something special happened in the process.

During the process of absorbing water and expanding, some blasting balls absorb some light bacteria. After these light bacteria enter the body of the blasting ball, they will be quickly melted by the solution, but the debris left by them that is not completely decomposed is still in the blasting ball. , and the debris glows blue like the light fungus itself.

Some explosive balls that devoured more light bacteria, the whole body will become like light bacteria, shining.

It's really strange, a new cell - the flash ball was born.

Very interesting.

Lin immediately changed the combat method, from directly using the blasting ball to kill the light bacteria, to letting the blasting ball devour the light bacteria. In fact, this combat method is also very efficient, because the blasting ball is huge, and they eat no more than blow up. less.

In any case, Lin still did not stop the slaughter of light bacteria.

Until the last light fungus in the corner of the cave is eaten.

The destruction of the light bacteria did not turn the caves back into darkness, their light was instead stored in the blast spheres, and these huge blast cells now also have lighting functions.

However, Lin only killed half of the light bacteria, and the other half crowded into the end of the other end of the cave. They seemed to feel the slaughter of their companions by Lin, so they crowded more densely and emitted light. Also shinier, even giving Rin the illusion that they were giant creatures.

This makes Lin a little strange, it thinks that these light bacteria should escape from the crack,

Or evolve some ability to fight, but they don't actually do anything, just huddle there waiting to die.

Lynn won't stop.

Hundreds of the blasting balls just now evolved into flashing blasting balls because they ate the light fungus. Lin felt that this number was enough, so she simply killed them all.

Whether it is eaten directly, blown up or chopped, the fragments of the cells will be recycled by Lin with almost nothing left, and there will be no waste.

Lin's cell group swam and pushed towards the last light bacteria hiding at the other end of the cave.

This time, Lin planned to use Diggers and Cone Cells to shred them directly.

The light bacteria seemed to be able to sense the approaching crisis, they became restless and agitated, some light bacteria made strange behaviors, they swam to Lin's colony, and then rushed directly to the diggers or the sawtooth of the cone cells with their fragile bodies, Then let yourself be crushed by these serrations.

What are they doing?

The first time she saw this kind of suicide, Lin was very puzzled.

Of course, light bacteria don't explode like blasting balls, and they don't release any toxic substances after they die. They simply commit suicide.

Lin found that about 30% of the light bacteria rushed up to commit suicide, and the rest remained unmoved.

Could it be that they want to exchange a small amount of sacrifice for the group's survival? They may think that as long as Lynn gets enough food, she will not continue to slaughter.

A very simple and easy-to-understand way of fighting... a very reasonable way of fighting... This is probably the only way when there is no means of defense.

But Lynn's colony stopped moving...why?

The sympathy in her thoughts seemed to come out again, and Lin felt puzzled. She obviously did this often, and she had already analyzed that this was just a very normal means of survival...

But why is there still 'sympathy'?

Lin looked at the last group of light bacteria in the corner, but Lin still did not move forward.

forget it.

Lin pushed it away, intending to let these light bacteria go away by herself. Although it is okay to continue killing them, Lin will feel quite uncomfortable.

Lin doesn't think this is a good thing, it may have compromised now, but Lin thinks it will sooner or later drive out the 'sympathy' thing.

Lin now turned her gaze to those white and soft foods that Lin named Baipao.

They really stick to the surface of the cave wall like a layer of paste, and they are everywhere, occupying more than 90% of the entire cave.

Occupying this place means that Lin can get more and more resources than outside.

Although Lin was excited, it also made Lin wonder, where did these white pastes come from? Why is there a lot of sticking to the stone wall? I remember that I had encountered a huge piece of white paste before. If it hadn't frozen there, Lin might have developed there.

Lin felt more and more strange about these white pastes. She felt that one day she would find out where these foods came from and what constituted them?

But when this ability is not enough now, let's gradually become stronger first.

Lin let the cells disperse and began to collect food. It found that the group of light bacteria were still crowded in the corner, not knowing when they would go out.

But Lin didn't want to care about them. The number of light bacteria was very small, and they could not be seen when they were scattered. However, after they gathered together, Lin could estimate that they only occupy about 10% of the area of ​​the cave, and now there are so few left, even if No matter what, it won't have any effect on Lin.

Lin began to devour all the food here, replenishing the amount lost in the water flow outside.

Although the cave was very comfortable, Lin didn't plan to stay there forever.

Lin found some problems. When facing living things, whether the opponent is a virus or other cells, it has a good chance of winning, but when facing non-living things - such as water flow or ice crystals, Lin's community has almost no resistance. force.

And these events always come suddenly, which will cause huge damage to Lin in an instant.

Lin needs to think of a way to fight these sudden threats...

For the water flow outside, Lin has already thought of a way.
