Chương 4: chapter 4
Hmm, this is actually the second half of the third chapter, I didn't post it yesterday …
…
The strange cell seemed to have sensed danger. It began to shake its body and spat out a large amount of green liquid. A few of the cells that were relatively close to it were dissolved and festered.
Kill it!
But Lin didn't stop there. More cells rushed forward. When the next few cells were dissolved again, a serrated figure leaped out from the pile of debris.
It was the digger.
The saw-like teeth protruding from its body came into contact with the pockmarked body of the strange cell. The digger began to twist left and right. As if it was digging for food, it used its saw-like teeth to viciously scrape the strange cell's body.
Large chunks of the strange cell's membrane were scraped off by the digger. The strange cell writhed in pain, but it didn't retaliate with the green liquid. It could only spit out a very small amount of liquid, but it couldn't damage the digger's harder surface.
Lin also noticed that the strange cell could only secrete a certain amount of liquid, which seemed to have been used up.
The digger didn't stop for a single moment. It continued until it had completely shredded the strange cell's outer layer, inner layer, and even the cell's nucleus into pieces.
Joy, victory, joy.
Lin received new sensations. They were the opposite of pain, just like food, they made Lin feel extremely fulfilled.
Lin ordered a few cells to consume all the fragments of the strange cells. These strange cells that secreted a terrifying liquid were no different from white and soft food. They were easily digested, except that one of the cells seemed to have been damaged by the residual liquid and suffered some damage to its body.
Suddenly, the damaged cell began to divide.
Splitting was a very unique behavior. Not only could it produce a new cell, it could also repair the original damaged cell.
But the new cell that split didn't seem to be any different in Lin's eyes, except for the fact that its membrane was slightly darker.
Lin didn't know what it could do, so she left it be for now.
Lin looked into the distance and saw that the other strange cells were a bit further away. They didn't seem to have noticed what happened to their companion and were still eating their meal.
Don't they share the same consciousness?
Lin was a bit confused, but she didn't care.
Lin currently had 39 cells, and 11 of them had been dissolved by the strange cell earlier. Lin planned to continue eating to replenish her previous number before attacking these strange cells again.
Lin knew that she had the ability to fight back, so she didn't hesitate to use this ability to kill the thing that brought her danger.
With that in mind, Lin continued to make the cells eat the white food beneath her. It needed more strength, quantity, intelligence …
… This is the beginning of the fourth chapter.
Lin's cells kept devouring the huge piece of food. They had already dug a large and deep hole in the food. Lin had the diggers dig in front, while the cells behind them ate the debris they dug.
Lin wanted to give it a try. What would she encounter if she kept digging like this? Perhaps there would be something interesting.
Lin's cell community had already reached a hundred, among which there were thirty Diggers, but there had always been only one Observer. Lin was very confused. Why didn't the Observer's cells have any vision?
Right now, all 100 of Lin's cells were inside the hole that they had eaten. As for the few strange cells outside, Lin didn't kill them in the end, because after some calculations, Lin had come up with a new term.
… It was not worth it.
Attacking the strange cells would sacrifice a lot of cells, probably a dozen or so of them would die from the dissolving fluid, but eating the strange cells would only produce three new ones, so it was not worth it.
As the cell community grew, Lin slowly gained the ability to calculate. She believed that it wouldn't be long before she became smarter.
And so, Lin decided to continue digging in the huge piece of white food while eating.
As she dug deeper and deeper, Lin realized that the white food was no longer as soft and fragile as it was on the surface. Instead, it was slowly becoming harder and harder. After digging a little deeper, the diggers had a hard time sawing off the white food. As for the normal cells, they couldn't even leave a single piece of it.
Although Lin wanted to continue digging, it seemed that she had no choice but to give up. She looked behind her and saw that her community was already very deep, and the entrance of the cave had become very small.
Suddenly, Lin thought of an idea.
Didn't the strange cells outside use the dissolving fluid to dissolve their food? If she could use them, she might be able to dissolve the hard part of the food.
But how would she use the dissolving fluid? It was probably impossible to capture them, but Lin recalled that one of the cells seemed to have only suffered some damage after eating the strange cell fragments left in the dissolved liquid. Then, it successfully split into a new cell that was somewhat different.
The new cell was darker in color, and its outer membrane wasn't as clear as the other cell membranes. She could clearly see the nucleus inside, but the membrane of this new cell was a bit cloudy.
And so, Lin decided to use this new cell to come into contact with the strange cells.
After crawling out of the cave that she ate, Lin's observer cell quickly discovered the traces of the strange cells. Lin noticed that they weren't crawling down while eating like she did, instead, they were eating here and there, dissolving the flat surface of the huge piece of food.
Speaking of which, Lin still didn't know what to call this huge piece of food because it was soft and white in color. From the small fragments at the beginning to the huge size, Lin couldn't find a good word to call it, so she just kept calling it food.
But obviously, this soft and white thing wasn't the only thing that could become food. There should be endless types of food.
For example, the strange cells could also be considered food.
Lin's group of cells swam above them. Including the observer and the new cell, Lin also brought 10 diggers with her, so there were a total of 12 cells.
As for the others, Lin had them continue to eat in the cave and grow stronger.
The strange cells didn't have eyes, so they couldn't discover Lin's group, but Lin knew that if they got too close, they would know, but Lin didn't know how they knew.
There were 5 strange cells in total, one more than before, perhaps it was because they ate more than before.
Lin slowly swam towards the farthest strange cell from the group, then had the new cell approach it first.
As the new cell approached, the strange cell reacted. The numerous holes on its body sprayed out a large amount of dissolving fluid, which easily surrounded the new cell.
Unlike normal cells, the new cell didn't instantly decompose into powder. Instead, it only showed some signs of decay on its outer membrane, but it didn't affect the cell as a whole, so Lin didn't feel any pain.
… So that's how it is, the new cell has the ability to resist the dissolving fluid.
That was the first thought that appeared in Lin's mind.
I know what's going on now …
The previous cells were damaged by the constant rubbing against food, so the new cells they split out became harder and grew serrated teeth on their surface. This was the birth of the diggers.
And this new cell was also the result of the dissolving fluid, so it had the ability to resist the dissolving fluid.
What was this phenomenon called?
That's right … it was …
Evolution!
Although Lin didn't understand the deeper meaning of this word, she knew that she could use this method to improve her cell group.
The pain interrupted Lin's thoughts.
The surface of the new cell had already been dissolved and decayed. Due to the invasion of the dissolving fluid, the entire cell was on the verge of collapse. It seemed that even though it had the ability to resist, it still couldn't face the strange cell alone.
As for the strange cell, due to releasing a large amount of dissolving fluid, it was showing signs of slowing down. It could even be described as collapsing.
This was already very impressive. Previously, Lin had to sacrifice a total of over 10 cells to exhaust the dissolving fluid of a single strange cell.
This time, she only needed one to deal with it.
Without the dissolving fluid, the strange cell was quickly torn to pieces by the diggers' group attack. As for the pieces, Lin had the diggers eat them.
Next would be the other strange cells.
But Lin discovered a problem. She no longer had the new cells with the ability to resist the dissolving fluid.
So Lin had no choice but to let the diggers who ate the strange cell pieces eat until they were full and then split. This way, they could probably produce the same dissolving fluid resistant cells as before.
However, after they were full and split, Lin noticed that the cells that these diggers produced looked a bit strange.
First, the shape. These diggers were no longer round like the previous cells, but had one side that was sharp and protruding, which was the shape of a cone. At the same time, there was a large number of serrated teeth arranged in a spiral pattern on the surface.
They seemed to be able to drill and dig better.
That was what Lin thought when she saw the shape of these cells, but the resistance of these cone-shaped cells to the dissolving fluid was still unknown.
So Lin planned to let these new cone-shaped cells attack the other strange cells to see what would happen.
There were only three cone-shaped cells. Even though the ten diggers had eaten the fragments of the strange cells, only three of them had split into cone-shaped cells. The remaining seven had split into normal diggers. Perhaps it had something to do with the amount of food they had eaten?
Lin let two of the cone-shaped cells attack first, leaving the last one behind. Lin didn't want them to all die like last time.
The cone-shaped cells used their cone-shaped heads to attack the strange cell. This strange cell didn't even have time to spray the dissolving fluid before the powerful cone-shaped cells drilled through its body. But this also caused its body to burst open and a large amount of dissolving fluid sprayed out.
One of the cone-shaped cells was covered in the dissolving fluid and quickly festered into powder. Because Lin had let it retreat in time, only the cone-shaped hardened membrane was damaged.
It seemed that the cone-shaped cells didn't have a strong resistance, but they were much better than the basic cells.
But perhaps this damaged cell could split into cells that were resistant to the dissolving fluid.
Wait a minute …
Lin suddenly remembered her original goal. It seemed that her goal wasn't to create any resistant cells here, but to get the dissolving fluid of the strange cells into the hole to see if it could melt the hard parts of the food.
If that was the case …
Lin's vision locked onto the large amount of dissolving fluid that was released after the strange cells died.
Perhaps they could eat this fluid?
