Chapter 28 Psychosis
Waiting for the night to pass, there is not a single corpse of the hookworm left, and Lin completely converts it into body nutrients.
However, I feel that when using the 'bomb' attack, although the power is powerful, it seems to be a waste. If it is blown up, it cannot be recovered.
Those who think about it next time, now Lin is most concerned about the situation below, and it is not clear until daylight.
The lava that erupted before has now turned gray-black, and they maintain the shape of the previous diffusion flow and solidify on the seabed, which is very similar to what Lin saw in the trench before.
Why does lava solidify?
Because of the cold, right? The temperature in the water is very low, and since low temperatures can harden water, it can also harden lava.
Very interesting.
Leviathan swam slowly above the solidified lava flow, Lin touched the black surface of the lava flow with her tentacles, but felt no heat.
Is it completely cold? As if it was fake before it warmed the whole waters up.
'Fake'?
Weird words that seem to mean things are not necessarily what they are felt... Where did these words come from? It's not the first time that Lin has doubted this question, but she has never gotten an answer.
So it turned its attention back again.
Although the lava caused huge damage and killed many creatures, more creatures were attracted by it, and a large number of single-celled creatures came here at the fastest speed, they drilled into the cracks in the solidified lava, Seems to be looking for something to eat.
Could there be a similar edible substance in the trench plume?
Lin was a little curious. It released the collectors and let them drill into the cracks of the lava. Sure enough, they found edible substances inside.
There must be a large number of creatures attracted here, and this place needs to be occupied.
Thinking about it, Lin put a base seed in this position.
Then let's take a look at that place.
Leviathan swam to the mouth of the lava spewing hole, where the water was filled with bizarrely colored debris and air bubbles that, if inhaled, would cause the cells that come into contact with the gas to die.
toxic gas...
Maybe it's useful, Lynn can store these gases in the air sacs of the gas holder, as long as they don't inhale the cells, there is no problem.
If injected into other organisms, they will absorb it uncontrollably because they can't perfectly direct every cell.
The hole further down has been sealed by solidified lava. I wonder if there will be lava spewing out?
This place is a bit dangerous. It is indeed correct to put a base here for observation. Maybe it will erupt again in the future.
Well, it's time to leave...
When Leviathan swam out of the cave, it suddenly saw some large multicellular creatures swimming in this direction from a height.
It's hookworm.
There were three in total. They were obviously not interested in the single-celled creatures floating around, but swam towards the Leviathan from the very beginning, but they did not attack directly, but went around in circles.
Hookworms have brains and are much larger than flatworms, but in proportion, hookworms are smaller.
They use the leaf-like appendages on their sides to swim quickly in the water, which makes them very flexible even if they are covered with carapaces. If you deal with three at a time, it is estimated that there will be some losses.
That's it.
Lin filled the gas holders with poisonous gas and then swam towards the hookworm.
These hookworms did not eat the trap as foolishly as the last time, and when they saw the poisonous gas reservoir, they all ducked to one side.
Intelligence is clearly different from nighttime...or is it a difference between individuals?
Next, Lin created a small sphere, which is only 100 cells in size. The eyesight of hookworms cannot be seen clearly. There are some infected people inside this sphere. The outer layer has eyeballs and a hollow syringe.
And a tentacle with a strong sense of vibration.
It's called an 'infection ball', and it can swim by spraying water. This is an infection method that Lin Xin came up with. It is mainly aimed at creatures with brains. It wants to try to see what effects the virus will have on the brains of various creatures.
The infestation ball slowly swims close to one of the hookworms, close to its gills, which have tiny tentacle structures like 'filters', but they just stay there passively to intercept, not purposefully To catch intruders, Lin can easily avoid these filters and enter the blood vessels along the hookworm's oxygen system.
The brain of the hookworm is in the center of the body, and the infection ball is only within one of the countless blood vessels. Lin has no idea where it is now, but relying on the tentacles of the infection ball, it can sense signals from the brain and swim in the direction of the brain. go.
The blood vessels of the hookworm are full of cells of various colors and nutrients, wastes and other things, including immune cells. Now Lin must avoid the immune cells, enter the hookworm's brain, and inject the virus into the brain cells.
Immune cells will attack everything that invades, but the infection ball is wrapped in a hard shell, and its movement is much faster than cells, and this blood vessel just flows downstream, so Lin doesn't have much effort to kill the besieged immune cells. left behind.
The feeling ahead is getting stronger and stronger, and Lin thinks it should have reached her brain.
Then, it inserts the injection port of the infection bulb into the wall of the blood vessel and injects all the virus in the body into it.
Then the infection ball is useless? No, its mission is not over yet. The infection ball inserts the injection port into the blood vessel wall to secure itself from being swept away by the bloodstream. At the same time, its outer shell comes off, and the cells inside it begin to divide continuously until the size is large enough. When the whole blood vessel is blocked, it secretes the shell substance in the body, and completely blocks the blood vessel with a hard shell.
This is mainly done to block immune cells, and they may have a way to get rid of this blockage sooner or later, but by then the virus is already dividing a lot.
Just wait and see what's interesting.
The three hookworms did not attack Leviathan because of the poisonous gas, but kept swimming nearby. Lin paid attention to the infected hookworm and watched its changes...
There was no change at first, but after a while, its behavior changed significantly. First, the body began to twitch a little, and then the speed and movement became much faster, but the movement was no longer regular, but it was like crazy.
It seems that 'crazy' is the word used to describe when a brain creature can't control itself.
The infected hookworm made a peculiar move, dashing towards and attacking its fellows nearby, grabbing the tail of its companion with its thick curved forelimbs and tearing it off with force in an instant.
The muscles of hookworms should not have the strength to tear off the tail attached to the carapace. Has the strength increased after infection?
The torn hookworm had no way to continue swimming, it could only twist its body and sank to the bottom, while the other one swam quickly and escaped.
The infected hookworm swirled a few times in the water, then swam and swam in the other direction.
Lin thinks that the way it swims will undoubtedly hit a rock or something, but it's interesting, it seems that the virus didn't damage its brain cells, otherwise it would be dead now.
Instead, the virus is driving it crazy. I wonder how long it can live? Viruses are such an interesting thing.
Leviathan swam close to the moccasin, which was struggling on the solidified lava, and stretched out its tentacles to roll it up.
Can one hundred cells be exchanged for one? It feels good. Viruses are very valuable for research.
Research is really interesting. Not only viruses, but now Lin suddenly discovered that the base research on the sea covered with green cells has also progressed.
After regulating and synthesizing the 'pigments' within the cells, they have been able to make green.
But... the green light seems to be of no use.
But Lin already knew how to adjust the 'pigment'.
It's like tuning chitins, which are made up of something inside the cell that, if controlled, can produce a variety of different colors.
Lynn is able to sense various substances in the cell body, so it can also adjust this substance if needed.
This seems to be called... 'taste'?
