Chapter 4 Evolution

Well, this is actually the second half of Chapter 3, I didn't post it yesterday...

…………………………………………………………

The strange cells seemed to sense the danger, and began to shake the body continuously, spraying out a large amount of green liquid, and a few cells that were closer were dissolved and festered.

kill it!

Lin's movements did not stop, more cells rushed up, and when the next few cells were dissolved again, a figure with serrated teeth rushed out of their fragments.

That's the digger.

The protruding serrations on the surface of its body touched the hole-filled body of the monster cell, and the digger began to twist left and right. It was like digging for food, scraping the monster cell's body with its serrations.

The cell membrane on the surface of the monster's body was scraped off by the excavator, and the monster cell was twisted in pain. It did not fight back with the green liquid, and could only spray a very small amount of liquid, which could not damage the hard surface of the excavator's body. .

Lin noticed that these strange cells can only secrete a certain amount of liquid, and it seems that they are exhausted.

The digger didn't stop for a moment, until he completely twisted the outer layer, the inner layer, and the nucleus of the strange cell into pieces.

Joy, victory, joy.

Lin got new sensations. They were the exact opposite of pain. Just like getting food, they made Lin feel very fulfilled.

Lin asked a few cells to eat all the fragments of the monster cells. These monster cells that secrete terrifying lysate taste no different from those white and soft foods, and they are easily digested, except for one of the cells that seems to be Injured by the remaining solution, the body was slightly damaged.

Suddenly, the somewhat damaged cell divides.

Divide is a very special behavior, it can not only generate a new cell, but also completely repair the original damage.

But the new cells that split appeared to be no different in Lin's eyes, except that the color of the cell membrane was darker.

Lin didn't know what special use it had, so she left it alone.

Lin looked into the distance, and saw that the other monster cells were far away, as if they hadn't noticed what happened to their companions, and were still eating their own meals there.

Don't they have the same consciousness?

Lin was a little strange, but it didn't care.

Now Lin has thirty-nine cells. Eleven of them were dissolved by the strange cells just now. Therefore, Lin plans to continue to eat to replenish the previous number, and then attack these strange cells.

Lin knew that she had the ability to fight back, so she did not hesitate to use this ability to kill things that brought danger to herself.

Thinking about it, Lin continued to let the cells eat the white food under her body, it needs more strength, quantity, intelligence...

……………………………… This is the beginning of Chapter 4

Lin's cell group kept devouring the huge food, and they had eaten a large and deep hole on this piece of food. Lin let the diggers keep digging in front, while a large area followed. Cells eat the debris they dig up and spill.

Lin wanted to try, what would she encounter if she kept digging like this, maybe there would be interesting things, not necessarily.

Lin's cell community has reached as many as 100, of which there are 30 excavators, but there is always only one observer. Lin is very puzzled, why the new cells split by the observer do not have vision?

Now Lin's 100 cells are in the big hole they ate. As for the few strange cells outside, Lin still didn't kill them, because after calculation, Lin felt a new word.

...not worth it.

Attacking the monster cells will sacrifice a lot of cells, probably a dozen or so due to the lysate, but eating the monster cells can only split three new ones, so it's not worth it at all.

As the cell population grows, Lin slowly gains computing power, and it believes that it will become smarter and smarter in the near future.

So Lin decided to continue digging and eating on this huge piece of white food.

As the digging progressed deeper and deeper, Lin found that the place was no longer as soft and brittle as the surface, but gradually became harder. Saw off the debris, as for ordinary cells, it is impossible to get a little bit of debris on it.

Although Lin wanted to continue digging, it seemed that she could only give up. It looked back, and Lin found that her colony was already in a very deep place, and the opening of the cave seemed to be very small.

Suddenly, Lin thought of a way.

Don't those strange cells outside use the lysing solution to dissolve the food? If you use them, you might be able to dissolve the hard parts of the food here.

But how to use those solutions? It's probably impossible to catch them, but Lin recalled that there seemed to be a cell that ate the remaining lysate fragments and only had some damage, and then successfully split into a new cell with some differences.

The color of the new cell is darker, and the outer cell membrane is not as clear and transparent as other cell membranes, and the nucleus inside can be clearly seen, but the cell membrane of this new cell is a little cloudy.

So, Lin planned to use this new cell to contact those strange cells to see.

Re-drilling out of the hole she ate, Lin's observer cells quickly found the traces of those strange cells. Lin found that they didn't eat while drilling down like she did, but eat a little here and there. , put the huge food on a flat surface with a solution of the potholes.

Speaking of the huge food, Lin still doesn't know what it should be called, because it is soft and white, from the small pieces at the beginning to the huge indistinguishable edge, Lin couldn't think of a good word, so she kept calling it. food.

However, it is obvious that it is not only this soft and white thing that can become food, and the types of food should be endless.

For example, those few strange cells are actually food.

Lin's cell group swam above them. Including the observer and the new cell, Lin also brought ten diggers, a total of twelve cells.

As for the others, Lin let them continue to eat in the cave and continue to grow and thrive.

The monster cells don't have eyes, so they didn't find Lin's colony, but Lin knew that if they got too close, they would know, but it's not clear what kind of feeling they knew.

There are five strange cells, it seems that there is one more than before, maybe it is split from eating more.

Lin slowly swam close to one of the furthest monster cells in the group, and then let the new cells go first.

After the new cell approached, the strange cell responded, and a large amount of lysing liquid was ejected from the dense hole in its body, and the lysing liquid easily surrounded the new cell.

The new cells did not fester into powder in an instant like ordinary cells, but only showed some signs of decay on the outer membrane, but it did not affect the whole cell, and Lin could not feel any pain.

...So it turns out, that new cell has the ability to resist the lysate.

In Lin's mind, this idea appeared in an instant.

I know what's going on...

The previous cells were damaged by constantly rubbing against the food, so the cells they split became harder and saw teeth grow on the surface, which is the birth of the digger.

And this new cell is also split from the cell damaged by the lysate, so it has the ability to resist the lysate.

What is this phenomenon called?

That's right...that's...

evolution!

Although she didn't understand the deeper meaning of the word, Lin knew that she could use this method to enhance her cell community.

The pain interrupted Lin's thoughts.

I saw that the surface layer of the new cells had been dissolved and decayed. Because of the invasion by the lysing liquid, the entire cell appeared to be about to collapse. It seemed that even if it had the ability to resist, it was still unable to face the strange cells alone.

As for the strange cells, because of the release of a large amount of lysate, they show a state of slow movement, which can be described by the word prostration.

This is already very powerful. Before, Lin sacrificed a total of a dozen cells to consume the lysate of a strange cell.

This time only one did it.

The monster cells without the solution were quickly torn to pieces when faced with the group attack of the diggers. As for these pieces, Lin let the diggers eat them.

Then there are the other monster cells.

But Lynn found a problem. It no longer had the new cells that were able to resist the lysate.

So Lin had to let the diggers who ate the strange cell fragments eat first, and then divide, so that they could probably produce the cells that were resistant to the lysate before.

However, after waiting for them to be full and split, Lin found that the cells split by these diggers looked a bit strange.

The first is the shape, these diggers are no longer the round shape of the previous cells, but have one side that becomes sharp and protruding, that is, the shape of a cone, and a large number of serrations are arranged on it in a thread-like manner.

Seems to have become more capable of burrowing and digging.

The shape of these cells made Lin think so, but the resistance of these cone-shaped cells to the lysing solution was unknown.

So Lin planned to let these new cone cells attack other strange cells and see what effect it would have.

There are only three cone cells, and although all 10 diggers ate the fragments of the strange cells, only three split into cone cells, and the remaining seven split into ordinary diggers, perhaps because of the amount they ate. How much does it matter?

Lin let the two cone cells go up first, and kept the other one. Lin didn't want to die like last time.

The cone cells directly attacked the monster cells with their cone heads. Before the monster cells could spray the lysate, the cone with a powerful attack force was drilled out of its body, but this also caused it The body burst open, and a large amount of dissolved liquid was sprayed out.

One of the cone cells was covered by the lysing solution, and quickly festered into pieces, while the other one was only left with some damage on the sclerosing membrane of the cone because Lin let it back in time.

It seems that the cone cells are not very resistant, but they are much better than the basic cells.

But perhaps this damaged cell can divide into lysate-resistant cells.

and many more……

Lin suddenly remembered the original purpose, as if the purpose was not to get some resistant cells here, but to put the lysate of the strange cells into the hole to try to see if it could melt the hard part of the food.

In this case……

Lin's vision was locked on a large piece of the lysing solution released by the monster cell after it died.

Maybe eat the liquid?

Lin felt that her ideas were getting richer and richer.
