Growing exponentially, the clusters soon reached a considerable number of over four hundred units.

Due to the change in appearance, the cluster of cells that joined the sensing area changed from a long-necked porcelain bottle to a gourd-shaped, and Huo Gu simply called them 'gourds'.

"No. 10 gourd, try to keep the position as good as possible."

"One hundred and thirty-one hoist, you are yawling, adjust the elevation angle, move nine meters diagonally to the right, and return to the position where you should have stayed as soon as possible."

"Three hundred and sixty-eight hoists, immediately reduce the speed and maintain the formation."

……

Hogu never tires of emphasizing his instructions, and as the distance of the instructions increases, a non-obvious problem also comes to the fore.

Although it is possible to use the relay method to convey instructions to farther places, there is a delay in the instructions conveyed in this way, and the shortest individual will always have to wait for a while before receiving the instructions sent by it.

For this reason, Hogu needs to make a position correction to a certain hoist every once in a while to maintain the entire collective formation, and in the current complex and changeable environment, the delay problem is very troublesome.

At present, Huo Gu does not have a very good way to solve this problem, after all, what is the core secret that caused it to be in its current state, it has not yet figured it out, and naturally it cannot be used more efficiently.

"Not enough of ......"

"Am I a little too aggressive?"

Huo Gu, who has a little thinking ability from the huge and complex instruction work, thinks that although there is no good solution to the delay problem for the time being, as long as the number is large enough and the coverage area is wide enough, the fault tolerance of the overall formation will increase, and the problem caused by the instruction delay can be covered up.

Hogu began to consider whether to slow down the progress of exploring the alkaline waters and expand the water coverage of the Huqun.

At this moment, hundreds of pairs of eyes, always alert to changes in the environment, keenly caught the subtle anomalies in the nearby waters.

At a glance, a 'white line' appeared at the farthest end of Huqun's field of vision, like something like a skyline.

Huo Gu immediately used the hue closest to the 'white line' in the formation to make observations.

After receiving the command from Hogu, the vitreous immediately adjusts the degree of concave and convex, and the eyes rotate to tightly lock on to the 'white line' in the distance.

Under the magnification of the vitreous body, the 'white line' becomes a 'fence', like a fence made of cotton, which exists only in fairy tales, swaying in the gentle and windy country paths.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Gu noticed the abnormal condition of the entire gourd group, the cell membrane, cytoplasm, organelles, and even the cell wall, all of which were undergoing subtle vibrations.

"Could it be ......?"

A feeling of extreme foreboding hung over him, and some rather bad speculation came to Hogu's mind, sending chills through it.

"Attention clusters eight through five! There's a rapids coming in! Flow to the left rear, adjust the course, spread the whole fin, and prepare for the buffer! ”

Not long after the order was issued, the entire Huqun immediately complied with the instructions and made corresponding changes.

Perhaps it was the anxiety of Hogu himself, or the help of Hogu's premonition of the coming crisis and the desire to survive, Huqun's emergency adjustment was finally completed before the foreseeable disaster arrived.

However, this is not something to be thankful for, just a little psychological comfort after a bloody mold.

It didn't take long, just a short time after Huqun had completed his emergency adjustments, the danger that had made Huo Gu frightened had already crossed the end of his vision and came nearby.

At this point, it is no longer a 'fence', but a 'wall'.

Time, at this moment, is like being pressed the button to slow down, Hogu has heard it when he was still a human being, when he is close to death, the mind will speed up, relatively speaking, the subjective perception of time will also slow down, at least human beings.

Looking at the wall that is not far away, one can deeply appreciate the meaning of the word 'small', looking up to the sea, looking to the left, extending to the end of the field of vision of the vitreous concave and convex limit of the eye, and still not seeing the end of the wall, and looking to the right.

As if standing at the end of the world, face to face with the walls that rise at the edge of the world—Hogu has the most intuitive feeling of what he sees at this moment.

Looking at the white spray on the white walls, and taking into account the liquid environment of the ocean, it is easy to tell the true face of this majestic wall – the giant tsunami.

Somewhere in this part of the ocean, an unclear flashpoint released an extremely large amount of kinetic energy in one breath, radiating in the form of a 'wave' in the liquid environment of the ocean, which is now the giant tsunami faced by the Huqun.

The swept white wall came in an instant, directly engulfing the entire swarm of ants and continuing to flow into the distance.

"Steady! Be sure to hold on! ”

Huo Gu knew that this was a futile shout, in the face of such great power, Huo Gu and their clusters were just a trivial joke, and there was a limit to the drainage of fins.

But there are some things that you have to do even if you know that they are futile, and at this time, even a little miracle is many times better than if no miracle happens.

After being wrapped in the tsunami, the surrounding scenery is transformed into a glimpse of light, mainly because the hurd, which is the carrier of the eye, has been suffering from the turbulence and rolling of the tsunami.

At present, the only thing that can still ensure good ability is probably the inner view of the inside of the gourd, and after being coerced by the rolling waves, the number of the gourd has also fallen back to double digits again from four hundred, not death, but being thrown out of a very long distance and losing contact.

And this is not the end, the house leak coincides with the overnight rain, and sometimes it is unlucky, even if you drink cold water, you may plug your teeth.

At such a rapid speed that only one of the individuals in the group of gourds passed by, and a hole equivalent to one-third of the length of the gourd itself was drawn out.

"What the hell?!"

Hogu was horrified, it wanted to know what it was, but it couldn't do anything about it, as a means of detecting the outside world, the vision was no different from the decoration.

Again, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The same situation continued, the first one that was pulled out of one-third of the length of the gourd was the least damaged gourd in the entire cluster.

The gourds suffered more from punctures, and no less than dozens of gourds were beaten into a sieve by those objects, and the same was true of the gourds where Huogu was staying.

The parietal cell defenses were dismantled, and a large number of hostile microbes attacked the predators at the very top of the water.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse.
