Chapter 24: The First Mass Extinction

Lynn's observer swam to those green cells, wanting to see what happened.

These cells are oval in shape, and their appearance is very ordinary. The body shape is only similar to Lin's cells. Lin remembers seeing similar green cells before, and they are nothing special.

It doesn't look like a ferocious hunter, and he doesn't have any terrifying weapons on his body, and he doesn't respond to Lin's approach.

As if mass cell death had nothing to do with them? But why are they okay?

Most of these green cells are floating slowly, shaking their bodies occasionally, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to go anywhere. Even with such a large corpse below, they don't seem to want to eat.

How did this green community grow to such a large size by eating?

Curiosity brought Lin closer again, and she found that when these green cells were shaking their bodies, some transparent spherical things would occasionally emerge from their cell membranes.

what is that?

gas? bubble?

This is a very new word. Gas seems to refer to a shapeless, volumeless, deformable thing.

When Lin gets a new word, there is a certain chance that she will also get an explanation for the new word, but this explanation makes Lin even more puzzled.

These transparent spheres, called gases, have a shape, and they don't deform.

Just when Lin thought so, it saw two gas balls collide together, and then they synthesized a larger ball, even faster than Lin synthesized cells, and the connection was very perfect, even It was impossible to tell that they were actually two.

This is so peculiar!

Lin was immediately attracted by this scene, those green cells swayed a few times again, more bubbles emerged from their bodies, and a few bubbles floated to Lin's eyes.

Lin turned her curiosity back to her curiosity, but would not risk the observer. It made the observer stand back and let a fat cell next to it touch the bubble.

When the air bubbles come into contact with the fat cells, they instantly melt into the cell membrane.

it hurts!

Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp pain from this cell, and the bubble seemed to be stirring constantly in the fat cell, making the nucleus and everything pulpy.

Fat cells die quickly.

This scene scared Lin. Could it be that the bubble is actually a virus?

But through the transparent cell membrane, Lin could see that the air bubbles in the fat cell corpse did not proliferate or act, which was completely different from the behavior of the virus.

So what exactly are bubbles?

Why can it destroy whole cells?

Lin now only knows what caused the massive cell death.

But Lin didn't have time to think about the next step. The large group of green cells above released more and more bubbles. Lin didn't want to lose the observer. Lin immediately let the observer and the remaining fat cells swim to the depths at full speed. , because the bubbles don't seem to move down.

After Lin's cells swam to a certain depth, they began to swim back. At this time, Lin also began to strengthen the cortex of the base, and let all the tentacles on the cortex retract into the cortex.

All the tentacles on Lin's cortex except the giant tentacles can be retracted into the cortex, because Lin has made some changes to them, now these tentacles do not grow on the outermost cortex, but on the middle layer. In the cell wall, it protrudes through openable holes in the cortex and retracts when in danger.

Lin has not been in danger for a long time, but this time the crisis has made Lin feel terrified.

Each green cell can release hundreds of bubbles. When hundreds of millions of cells are released together, the area covered by the bubbles will be terrifying.

Lin now only hopes that the group of green cells will not pass through its base. It does not know whether the structure of the cortex can block the bubbles.

base?

Lin suddenly realized that the word seemed to be new,

I used it before I knew it, but I don't have as much time for it now.

wow——

The water suddenly became restless, and the observer who was rushing back was rushed out.

It's water flow! Why at this time?

Lin looked back and saw that the large group of green cells was also washed over here by the current, and at the same time, there were countless bubbles...

In still water, the bubbles will only move upwards, but under this violent current, they will be washed and scattered all over the place, covering the entire water in an instant!

Lin's observers still had a few fat cells that couldn't escape these bubbles, and they were surrounded by a large number of bubbles at once, and the few slower-moving fat cells were immediately infiltrated by the bubbles into the membrane.

Only the Observer managed to avoid the bubble, but Lin had no spare time to worry about it.

Because this current is rushing towards Lin's base!

Lin has retracted all the tentacles, and then it can only wait, it can only hope that the bubbles cannot penetrate the cortex.

The water flow has never done anything good for Lin, it continued to rampage, and rushed the huge green cell colony towards Lin's base. When a large swath of green emerged from the field of vision of Lin's base, Lin knew that this crisis was impossible. avoided.

At the end, Lin retracted the eye tentacles into the cortex. At this time, the group of green cells that came along the water had covered the light outside, making the entire water area dark and gloomy.

Lin's cortex is transparent, and the tentacles of the eyeball can see the outside even if it is inside. I saw that the green cells were being washed away by the water, and the air bubbles released by them also spread everywhere.

Lin suddenly found out that the observer's field of vision was still there, and she also saw this scene in her field of vision. She should have been washed back by the current, but she was still alive.

Lyn opened a hole in the cortex, allowing the observer to swim back.

At this moment, a few bubbles approached Lin's cortex...

Lin immediately closed the hole and stared at the bubbles with her eye tentacles, and Lin saw them sticking to it.

pasted on it?

These bubbles stick to the cortex as if they were stuck, but do not penetrate into the cells that make up the cortex.

Did you stop it? Lin didn't quite understand what was going on, but in the next moment, the bubbles stuck to it suddenly penetrated into the cortex, and Lin felt severe pain at the same time...

Can't stop? Whether it is a virus, a lysate sprayed by other cells, or a strong current of water, the outer skin of the cortex can't be washed away, so can't it stop the bubbles?

Why?

Lin has no time to think.

More bubbles stick to the cortex, and then they seep in like that, killing off the cells that make up the cortex.

Once the cortical cells are killed, they will start to become fragile. Although their corpses can still be connected to it, blocking the entry of air bubbles, the subsequent flow of water may smash these fragile points and allow more air bubbles to flow. Come in.

Just thinking about it, the next stream of water rushed forward, and the fragile parts of the dead cells on Lin's cortex were instantly washed away by this torrent, and a large number of air bubbles also poured in.

can't stop...

If you can't defend, let's fight back! Yes, just kill all those green cells so there will be no bubbles!

Lin's idea came into being in an instant. It directly opened all the holes in the cortex, and countless tentacles protruded from them. They waved their bodies and shot the green cells that covered the entire water area with the acupuncture cells on their bodies.

But the body of the tentacles is also composed of cells, and they are still infiltrated by air bubbles. At this moment, although Lin killed a lot of green cells, these tentacles also destroyed more than half.

And the colony of green cells was even bigger than Lin's entire base, and because of Lin's attack, they swarmed up one after another, and the huge amount of bubbles they created instantly drowned Lin's base.

go die die die die die die calm go die die kill light go die retreat retreat retreat retreat

Lin's thoughts flashed countless times in an instant, and it immediately made all the blasters and acid injectors flush out, spraying the dissolving liquid desperately in the water. The amount of the dissolving liquid even dyed the entire water area, but these The lysate, while killing the green cells, had no effect on the air bubbles.

Lin knew that the counterattack was useless, and then it let the remaining cells enter the giant tentacles and swam deep into the cave, and used a large number of diggers and cone cells at the entrance of the cave to form a number of cells. Layers of solid protective walls.

When the giant tentacles also died from the bubbles, Lin was completely unable to accept the information from the outside.

The huge base built by Lin and everything outside were destroyed by these small bubbles. Fortunately, these bubbles will not go deep into the cave...

What Lin didn't know was that it wasn't just it that was devastated.

Because of the active lava and submarine volcanoes, the water temperature has warmed. The warm water temperature allows these green cells to proliferate on a large scale in the sea. The gas they release is a deadly poisonous gas for all creatures on this planet. With the increase of green, it spreads all over the world, and nearly 90% of the creatures are extinct in this ocean...

In Lin's mind, there is actually a word to represent this gas.

"oxygen".

Hmm... Since it's the end of the first volume, I'll just rant here.

In fact, it’s not that I don’t want to do more, it’s just that I’m not happy to write. Some places are very troublesome to write. When writing, I always have to go to the microscope, documentaries, and various materials. It takes a long time to write a chapter, and the cells are sincere. very complicated...

But the next is the era of multicellular, it will be better to write, I also prefer to study multicellular animals, anyway, the update will definitely speed up sooner or later~

In addition, the update has been a little unstable recently due to problems such as power outages, but it will be better around ⑨ in the future.

Finally, thank you~ Shengyang fish~wm19860826~a small banana tree~ for the reward

Well, it's sauce purple
