Chapter 23 Abnormalities

Gray, countless gray stones filled Lin's vision.

Each of these stones was at least a thousand times the size of Lin's cells, and they were so numerous that they even covered the furthest distance Lin could see.

However, for this scene, Lin had a new word in her mind. The place covered with stones is called 'seabed', and these stones are called 'sand', and the scene covered with them is called 'sand beach' '.

Beach? Sand grains? sand?

Although the name 'sand' appeared in Lin's mind for the first time, it immediately felt that 'sand' should refer to something very small.

But the sand in front of me is not small at all.

Lin's explorer swayed and swam to the endless sandy beach below.

The closer you get to the beach, the bigger the grains of sand look. They are not all the same in shape. Almost each one is different in size, but even the smallest grain of sand is more than double the size of Lin's explorer.

The explorer fell on a piece of sand with a relatively flat surface, mainly to take a rest, and at this time Lin also felt that this piece of sand seemed to be very... warm.

No, it's already beyond the warmth, and it's almost beyond Lin's temperature tolerance range.

what's here...

The observer swam, and Lin planned to go deeper.

Because of the different shapes and sizes of sand grains, even if they are piled together, there are countless gaps and cracks between them, and Lin's explorers can easily swim through these cracks.

Swimming among the huge grains of sand, Lin felt that the temperature here was indeed very high, and the temperature became significantly higher every time she went deeper.

After passing around a few grains of sand, Lin saw that there was a huge rock in front of it that was pressed down by a large number of grains of sand. This rock was much larger than the surrounding grains of sand, so Lin classified it as a rock instead of sand.

The rock is black and has many holes in its surface, and a transparent ball emerges from the holes.

what is that?

Lin tried to get close to the rock, but the high temperature emanating from there prevented the explorers from getting any closer.

Suddenly, more and more transparent spheres emerged from the holes in the rock, and the whole rock trembled.

What's wrong?

Lin found that not only the rocks, but all the surrounding sand began to vibrate.

The vibration became more and more intense, and suddenly a huge piece of sand slipped down from the top of the explorer, Lin swam to avoid it,

But with the fall of this giant sand, all the sand grains piled up around it began to collapse and disintegrate, and countless sand and stones rolled down one after another.

Lin's explorer relied on the advantage of her small size to avoid the collapsed sand while swimming towards the heights. Now the water here is getting hotter and hotter, it is absolutely dangerous to stay any longer.

Avoiding a few falling sand grains, Lin saw the light coming from the exit. It was not far above, only a hundred cells away!

However, at this moment, the surrounding sand particles vibrated violently again, and the two sand particles next to them rolled at the same time, sandwiching the long and slender body of the explorer in the middle. No matter how hard Lin tried, she couldn't break free.

But Lin still has a back-up. At this time, the explorer's round head suddenly begins to expand. After it expands to a certain extent, it explodes like a blasting ball, and the excited water flow smashes the observers inside it and several others. Fat cells feed the collapsed grit area.

And the explorer whose head exploded was buried under countless collapsed sand grains in the next moment.

it's dangerous...

Lin's observer swam to a high place and looked down at the entire beach. It found that the sand seemed to be in constant vibration, and suddenly the sand in some places sank, forming quicksand sinkholes.

Suddenly, a red substance gushed out from a pit, and at this moment, Lin felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to have risen several times.

A close fat cell even died instantly from the heated water temperature.

Lynn's observer swam relatively high with the remaining few fat cells, so she wasn't injured.

Lin carefully observed those red substances, which seemed to be very sticky and hot. It kept spraying out in the sand pit, spreading in large areas on the sand, and gradually dyeing the entire beach into hot water. red.

lava.

For this red goo, Lin had a new word in her mind.

No matter what it is, it is always an object that emits high temperature and cannot be approached at will.

As Lin thought about it, she swam up, away from these terrifying things called lava.

Lin went upstream, and it found that the large piece of ice crystals that had spread all over the top had disappeared. Now that the temperature in the water is much higher than before, it is not surprising that these ice crystals will disappear.

However, Lin still couldn't find the reason why the cells didn't appear.

No matter how terrible the lava is, it is impossible for any cells to deliberately rush into the lava.

Could it be said that these lava can erupt very high? This will cause the temperature of the water to rise substantially, and finally kill all the cells.

But Lin can't see how high the lava is, and it will fall down after it erupts for a while.

Maybe it's time to look up there?

Thinking, Lin swam towards the bright spot above.

Lin still remembered that when she first approached the top of the water, the light there was extremely dazzling and extremely dangerous. The light called ultraviolet rays could instantly kill its cells.

Maybe UV rays?

While thinking about swimming, Lin suddenly stopped.

Around Lin's observer, a large number of cell groups suddenly appeared.

These cell groups are of different types. They float around Lin's cells. They should have been brought by the current. They suddenly appeared in Lin's field of vision. They are almost all over this water area. I'm afraid there are tens of millions... no, it should be hundreds of millions.

Why are there so many cells all of a sudden?

No...weird.

Only then did Lin realize that these cells were almost motionless, as if... all of them were dead.

These... are corpses.

Lin's observer swam close to one of the corpses and took a closer look. There was nothing in the corpse of this cell, but the inner nucleus seemed to have been destroyed by something, but the outer membrane was intact. This scene It should not be caused by a virus.

Lin looked at the corpses of other cells and found that they all died in the same way. They should be caused by the same reason. What is it?

Lynn doesn't know.

Lin felt very uncomfortable. It was the first time she had seen such a large number of deaths. Among the floating corpses, there was even a huge amoeba floating among them.

Lin You took a closer look and saw that this amoeba was also dead, with no sign of life.

The amoeba was the largest creature Rin had ever seen other than himself, but it seemed that he could not escape this mass death.

What exactly caused it? The water temperature here is normal... Lin doesn't think it's caused by the temperature.

When she was puzzled, Lin suddenly found that the surroundings seemed to be darkening, but this was different from the feeling of darkness falling, as if the light was being blocked by something.

Only when some kind of behemoth passes by will it have this effect, Lin thought to look up immediately.

A large piece of green appeared in Lin's sight.

what is that?

Green, to be precise, it is a large group of green cells. They are different from the surrounding corpses. They appear to be very energetic swimming in the water, and there are so many of them that they can be seen by Lin. The waters all darkened.

Could these green cells be the source of this tragedy?
