Chapter 2 The First Eye

light...

Lin saw the light, but all it saw was the light, it was just replacing the previous darkness with a light, meaningless...

Lin needs more detailed information, more detailed images, so she can see everything.

Just when Lin thought so, the cell that had eaten the hard object trembled slightly, and more tentacles for connection were protruding from the nucleus.

Lin's thoughts were no longer light or dark. Slowly, a blurry image appeared. At first, it was only a very cloudy color. As time passed, the cloudiness gradually began to become clear.

Blue... The color that Lin saw first, and then it saw several spherical objects floating in this blue.

Are those...my cells?

As the image became clear, Lin could clearly see the appearance of her own cells, the almost transparent film, the gray core, slowly floating in the water, swaying with the waves... It felt very interesting and strange.

It's nice to have eyes.

Lin observed her four cells around her, plus the cell with 'eyes', there were five in total.

But it can't see what its own eyes look like, so it decides to let the cell divide first, so it can know what the cell that brings its vision looks like, and what the hard object it devoured before is .

So, Lin set off again, looking for food.

Because of its vision, it can see the surrounding scenery clearly, but except for a few of its own cells, the surrounding scenery is blue.

This is the color of water.

Suddenly, Lin's eyes saw something, a white, round thing appeared in front of its cells.

This white thing is soft to the touch, its size is only one-fifth of Lin's cells, and it feels exactly the same as the previous food. Is this the thing that you have been eating before?

Without hesitation, Lin let the cells with eyes eat it.

After digesting, Lin continued to swim.

Because of its eyes, it quickly found more white round food, and it didn't take long for Lin's eye cells to collect enough energy for division.

Feeling that the cells with the eyes began to split in two, Lin felt a little excited so that it could see what her eyes looked like.

excited? Lin found a new word in her mind. What does it mean?

That doesn't matter, it's split now.

"?"

Lin couldn't see herself. She found that there was only one perspective in her mind, and the cells split from the eye cells were in front of her eyes...

But it has no eyes, and Lynn can't receive any images from the newly split cell.

Does division not include the eye?

Lin didn't understand, but it found that the cells split from the eye cells were a little different from other cells.

There seems to be a small area on the surface of the membrane of this cell, reflecting the white and bright brilliance, which has a special feeling.

crystallization?

That's right, that's the word, there is a small area on the surface of the newly split cell membrane that crystallizes.

But Lin didn't know what it meant. It couldn't feel anything special about this small crystal, and it wasn't the eyes, because it couldn't see.

So, it continues to act, to gain more knowledge, it must grow its own group.

There are now a total of six cells, and Lin directs them to swim forward and continue to search for more food.

That eye cell, Lin plans to give it a special name...

observer.

feel good...

In Lin's thoughts, a three-character word appeared for the first time, and it was used as a name.

Observers use sight to find food,

It is much more convenient than before to need to touch to know where the food is. It only needs a simple look to find the location of all the food around, and then other cells go to devour the food under the command of Lin.

While devouring and splitting, Lin grew her cell community more and more. Lin found that as long as the number of cells increased, her thoughts became broader and she knew more words.

The number of cells has reached fifteen, and the surrounding food has been exhausted.

Now, it's time to move on to the next new location.

Lin takes the observer as the center of the group, and the surrounding cells form a circle, so that it is convenient to eat any nearby food at the first time.

Lin swims slowly, slowly growing and thriving in the azure blue world, but after this action continued for a period of time, she found that she hadn't encountered anything new for a long time.

Water, white, round food.

Other than that, there was nothing, and the kind of hard object that gained vision after eating it was never seen again.

Strange how...

Just when Lin thought so, it suddenly saw something special.

That thing suddenly appeared above the observer's cell. It looked strange, black and round, about one-thirtieth the size of Lin's cell, but it was covered with sharp, Something like a thorn.

Try it? Maybe it's food.

Lynn brought a cell close to the object, opened its membrane, and swallowed it.

At first, Lin didn't feel anything special. The object swayed slightly in the cell membrane, but it was not digested.

But then, Lin's cell suddenly twitched for a while, the swollen and transparent cell membrane suddenly shrank, and the peculiar black object with spikes began to move and drilled into the nucleus of the cell among.

An unprecedented feeling entered Lin's mind.

Lin felt this feeling for the first time, but Lin didn't find it interesting at all, but wanted to avoid it.

Is this... pain?

As the object penetrated into the nucleus of the cell, Lin's thoughts were strongly impacted.

It hurts...it hurts!

Then, the nucleus also shrank like the outer cell membrane, and then Lynn lost the pain sensation. At the same time, it also lost the connection with this cell, it could no longer feel it, and could not control it.

died? it died?

Lin's cell community surrounded the dead cell, and Lin was stunned, not knowing what to do or what to do.

Death, this incomparably fresh word echoed in Lin's mind.

However, it didn't seem to be over yet, the dead cell suddenly swelled up again, and then exploded violently, and the black thorn balls that caused Lin's cells to shrink and die just now rushed out in large numbers.

There are at least thirty of them, more than Lin's cell community. One of the thorn balls touched a close cell of Lin's, and the thorn ball burrowed into the cell membrane. Like that, it quickly shrank.

Dying, dying, dying, running away, running away, running away, running back, running away, running away

Seeing a large number of black thorn balls attack, Lin's mind flashed countless thoughts instantly.

Lynn, run away.

It allows the cells to quickly wiggle their membranes away from these thorn balls at the fastest speed.

The thorn balls don't seem to be able to move on their own, but only when they touch the cells, so they can't catch up with Lyn's cells.

Lin kept running away until she couldn't see any black thorn balls.

Just now, what was that? That thorn ball...what is...

After confirming that it was safe, Lin began to recall the situation just now.

Just like before, Lynn should get a new word to correspond to the new situation.

But unfortunately, it seems that because of the loss of cells, Lin did not get new words.

But it has also learned a lesson. The world is not only filled with soft food and peculiar objects that give it vision, but also horrible things that can destroy itself.

It has to be more careful, Lyn's will, produced by the entire cell population.

As long as there is a cell, its consciousness will also exist.

But on the contrary, if there are no cells left, that is the end of the creature 'Lin'.
