Chapter 20 Provinces

How long he had been engulfed by this violent wave, Hogu did not know, because there was no tool or method to keep time, but as far as his subjective feeling was concerned, a very long time had passed.

During this time, the individuals in the group were enlarged in the agitated strong current, until they were torn apart as a piece of paper.

Huo Gu couldn't do anything about all this, and now it couldn't protect itself, and the gourd that it was originally staying in was torn and dismembered into twenty-one pieces of flesh of different sizes along the wound.

When the tide gradually calmed down, Huo Gu reacted, and once again returned to the original state of being poor and white, leaving the house in various senses.

"It's dangerous... One more short... Dot... Correct... Constant logic... Thinking just... No way... Guaranteed ......"

At this time, Huo Gu didn't have much fear of what he had just encountered, just because it was quite reluctant to maintain the most normal thinking now.

The layers of mental shackles make it sluggish.

It is imperative to get back to the original state as soon as possible.

“… Have to... As soon as possible... Proliferation ......"

After receiving the order, the inner cells immediately began to collect amino acids and proteins, began to expand the number, and the recovery work was in full swing.

Of course, the process was not all smooth sailing, and when the number of cells inside grew to four times the size of the original fragment, a new uninvited guest arrived.

It is a group of long, spindle-shaped microbacteria, wiggling the flagella on the tail, locking onto the target through the eyepoint inside the cell, heading straight for the expanding inner cell community.

These micro-bacteria have a spike at the head, and it is with this weapon that they are invincible in these waters, taking the throne at the top of the food chain in one fell swoop.

The spikes easily penetrate the cell membrane of the inner cells, and the microbacteria then mobilize their own internal cytoplasm to inject protein lyase into the inner cells through the path inside the spikes.

The injected inner cells immediately fail, lose their vital activity, and dismember into several large protein structures.

Due to the lack of eyes, when Hogu noticed these uninvited guests, the outermost batch of injected inner cells had all died.

And those micro-bacteria are still preparing to attack the neighboring inner cells.

"You're looking for death!"

Huogu, who has been specializing in cell domination for a long time, already has a set of self-contained manipulation methods, and now it is completely different from it when it first came into contact with cells.

While the microbacteria were busy attacking, Hogu gave instructions to the unattacked inner cells on the other side to 'proliferate'.

The shape of the inner cell community changes, and the attacked part gradually sinks inward, while the other unattacked parts bulge in the proliferation command, gradually forming a cavity that encapsulates the microbacteria.

"Release the lyase."

One second after the command is given, the cells facing the cavity adjust their membranes and release a large number of lytic enzymes, which soon fill the entire space of the cavity.

At this point, those microbacteria finally realized that something was wrong, and they chose to flee.

Dexterous microbacteria, swinging the flagella on their tails, swim blankly in areas with low concentration of enzymes, as if searching for a way to escape, as if they are avoiding the damage of those enzymes.

But all this is in vain, because the cavity is fully enclosed, and as early as the moment it is formed, they are already certain to die.

Along with these microbacteria, there are also internal cells on the inner wall of the cavity, and at the expense of some internal cells, Hogu also harvests a large number of various types of proteins and amino acids.

As time progressed, the required biomaterials were finally collected.

The first to recover is the mouth, followed by the jet propulsion organ.

With these two parts working together, Hogu can collect biomaterials even faster.

However, Huo Gu didn't dare to push at full speed, mainly because he didn't have eyes, which was like driving blindfolded on the road, if Huo Gu didn't know that he was in the ocean and there were almost no obstacles, he really wouldn't dare to do this.

After sufficient material has been collected, the eye, which is used to observe the outside, is also filled in by Hogu, and the cavity is then sensed to recover.

The whole process didn't take long, Hogu just revisited the path he had taken before, omitting the brain-racking process.

After completely recovering to his heyday, while copying other Hu entities, Hogu was also distracted by another thing - summarizing and reflecting.

Huo Gu is not afraid of failure, as long as there is a chance to start over, failure is a kind of help, and it is this style that makes it a person who can speak in the field of archaeology when it is still a human being.

"The first is reflection."

"It's too fragile, the defense of the wall cells is really too fragile......"

"Although it can play a strong defense against microorganisms, it is only limited to the microscopic, in the end, it is just a thin layer of cells, and at the macro level, I am afraid it is more fragile than the tofu brain."

"There is also a jet propulsion organ, although the explosive power is OK, but the staying power is not, this time in the face of that frenzy, I did not choose to escape, but put up an anti-impact formation, because the staying power is not up to standard, with the current mobility ability can not escape at all."

Hogu remembered the wave he had faced before, and he was annoyed, if he could calm down and design a more efficient way to propulsion, it wouldn't put itself in danger.

"Then there is the 'complacency' that I subconsciously ignore, knowing that I am more vulnerable than babies on a macro level, but I only think that there are no multicellular organisms in the Pluto, so I subconsciously ignore the threat from this aspect......"

In Huogu's thoughts, the gourds that pierced the unknown object flashed, and at the same time, once again, he remembered the wave of terror, this time, it had fear.

"This can't be done, there must not be a next time, this time I survived, the next time I can't say, even if there is the same turn for the next time, I can't say next time."

"Finally, the summary ......"

At this point, Hogu paused, lost in thought.

"From the very beginning, I was deluded......"

"I was originally above those microorganisms, I am a macroscopic creature, whether it is me as a human being, or I am now, it is better to say that the thinking me defeats the non-thinking microbes, which is a matter of course, and there is nothing to be proud of."

"Microbes have never been my biggest threat......"

"My real opponent should be, this world, this era......"

"This planet is still in the Underworld!"
