Hmm, this is actually the second half of the third chapter, which was not posted yesterday......
……………………………………………………………………
Sensing the danger, the strange cells began to shake their bodies continuously, spewing out a large amount of green liquid, and several of the closer cells were dissolved and festered.
Kill it!
Lynn's movements didn't stop, more cells rushed forward, and as the next few cells were dissolved again, a jagged figure burst out of their debris.
That's the digger.
The protruding serrations on the surface of its body touched the porous body of the monster cell, and the digger began to writhe left and right, scraping the monster cell's body with its serrations as if it were digging for food.
The cell membrane on the surface of the monster cell's body was scraped off by the digger, and the monster cell twisted in pain, and it did not fight back with the green liquid, but could only spew a very small amount of liquid, unable to damage the harder surface of the digger's body.
Lynn noticed that the strange cells could only secrete a certain amount of fluid, and it seemed that they had been consumed.
The diggers didn't stop for a moment until they had completely wrung the outer layer, the inner layer, and the nucleus of the monster cells into pieces.
Joy, victory, rejoicing.
Lynn gets new sensations, they are the exact opposite of pain, just like getting food, and they make Lynn feel full.
Lin asked a few cells to eat all the fragments of the strange cells, and these strange cells that could secrete a terrible lytic fluid tasted no different from those white and soft foods, and they were digested very lightly, except that one of the cells seemed to be injured by the residual lysate, and the body was slightly damaged.
Suddenly, the somewhat broken cell divided.
Splitting is a very special act that not only creates a new cell, but also allows the original damage to be completely repaired.
But the new cells that split out seemed to be no different in Lynn's eyes, except that the cell membrane was darker.
Lynn didn't know what it was for, so she left it alone.
Lin looked into the distance, and saw that the other monster cells were relatively far away, as if they hadn't noticed what was happening to their companions, and were still eating their own meals.
Isn't their consciousness the same?
Lynn was a little weird, but it didn't care.
Now that Lin has thirty-nine cells, a total of eleven of them have been dissolved by the monster cells just now, so Lin plans to continue eating and replenish the previous number before attacking these monster cells.
Lin knew that she had the ability to fight back, so she didn't hesitate to use it to kill things that were dangerous to her.
Thinking about it, Lynn continued to make the cells eat the white food beneath her, it needed more strength, quantity, intelligence......
…………………………………… This is where Chapter 4 begins
Lynn's swarm of cells kept devouring the huge food that had eaten a large, deep burrow in the food, and Lynn had the diggers dig in front and the large cells in the back to eat the debris they had dug up.
Lynn wanted to try it, and if she kept digging like this, she might encounter something interesting.
Lynn's cell community has reached as many as 100, including 30 diggers, but there has always been only one observer, Lin is very puzzled, why the new cells that the observer divides do not have vision?
Now Lynn's hundred cells are in the big hole they eat, and as for the few strange cells outside, Lin still didn't kill them after all, because after calculation, Lin felt a new word.
…… Not cost-effective.
Attacking monster cells will sacrifice a lot of cells, and about a dozen will die due to the lytic liquid, but eating monster cells can only divide into three new ones, so it's not cost-effective at all.
As the cell community grew, Lynn slowly gained computing power, believing that it would not be long before it would become wiser.
So, Lynn decided to continue digging and eating on this huge piece of white food.
As the digging progressed deeper and deeper, Lynn found that it was no longer as soft and brittle as it seemed on the surface, but slowly became harder, and after digging deeper, the diggers began to have a hard time sawing off the fragments, and ordinary cells could not get a little bit of scrap on them.
Although Lin wanted to continue digging, she seemed to have to give up, and when she looked back, Lin found that her colony was already very deep, and the entrance to the cave seemed to be very small.
Suddenly, Lynn thought of a solution.
Didn't those weird cells out there use lysate to dissolve food? If you use them, you might be able to dissolve the hard parts of the food here.
But how do you use those dissolved liquids? It was probably impossible to catch them, but Lin remembered that there seemed to be a cell that had eaten the remnants of the lysate and only had some damage, and then managed to split into a new cell that was a little different.
The color of the new cell is darker, and the outer cell membrane is not as clear and transparent as other cell membranes, and you can clearly see the nucleus inside, but the cell membrane of this new cell is a little cloudy.
So, Lin plans to use this new cell to contact those strange cells.
Drilling out of the hole she had eaten, Lynn's observer cells soon spotted the traces of the strange cells, and Lynn found that they did not burrow down while eating like herself, but eating a little here and there, dissolving the flat surface of the huge food into a pit with a dissolved solution.
Speaking of which, the huge food, Lin didn't know what to call it yet, because it was soft and white, from the small pieces at the beginning to the huge and unsightly edge, Lin couldn't think of any good words, so she kept calling it food.
However, it is clear 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.
Lynn's swarm of cells swam above them, including the observer and the new cell, and Lynn came out with ten diggers, for a total of twelve cells.
As for the rest, Lynn let them stay in the cave and eat non-stop, and continue to grow and thrive.
The strange cells don't have eyes, so they don't find Lynn's colony, but Lynn knows that they will know if they get too close, but it is not clear what kind of sense Lynn knows.
There are five strange cells, it seems that there is one more than before, maybe it is from eating more and dividing.
Lynn slowly swam to one of the furthest monster cells in the group, and then let the new cells go forward first.
As the new cells approached, the strange cells reacted, and a large amount of dissolved fluid erupted from the dense holes on its body, and the dissolved fluid easily surrounded the new cells.
The new cells do not festered 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 cells as a whole, and Lynn did not feel any pain.
…… As it turned out, the new cell had the ability to resist the lysate.
In Lynn's thoughts, this thought instantly appeared.
I know what's going on......
The previous cells were damaged by constantly rubbing the food, so the cells they divided became harder and grew serrations on the surface, and this is the birth of the digger.
This new cell is also divided by cells that have been damaged by the lytic fluid, so it has the ability to resist the lytic fluid.
What is this phenomenon called?
That's right...... Is that......
Evolve!
Although she didn't understand the deeper meaning of the word, Lynn knew that she could improve her cell community in this way.
The pain interrupted Lynn's thoughts.
I saw that the surface layer of the new cell had been dissolved and rotted, and because it was invaded by the dissolved solution, the whole cell also looked like it was about to collapse, and it seemed that even if it had the ability to resist, it still couldn't face the strange cells alone.
As for the strange cells, because of the release of a large amount of lysute, they show a state of slow movement, which can be described as prostration.
This is already very powerful, before Lin sacrificed a total of a dozen cells to consume the dissolution of a strange cell.
This time it was done with just one.
The strange cells without the dissolution were quickly torn to pieces in the face of the diggers' horde, and as for the fragments, Lin let the diggers eat them.
Then there are the other monsters.
But Lynn found a problem, it no longer had the new cells that were able to resist lyses.
So Lin had to let these diggers who had eaten the fragments of strange cells eat first, and then divide, so that they could probably produce the cells that had the same resistance to lyses as before.
However, after waiting for them to eat and divide, Lynn noticed that the cells that had been divided by the diggers were a little strange.
The first is the shape, these diggers are no longer the round shape of the previous cells, but have one side that has become sharp and prominent, that is, the shape of a cone, and a large number of serrations arranged in threads on it.
It seems to have become more able to drill and dig.
The shape of these cells made Lynn think so, but the resistance of these cone-shaped cells to the lysate was unknown.
So Lynn plans to have these new cone cells attack the other monster cells and see what happens.
There are only three cone cells, although the 10 diggers have eaten the fragments of the strange cells, but only three have split out of the cone cells, and the remaining seven have divided into ordinary diggers, maybe it has something to do with the amount of food?
Lynn let the two cone cells go up first, and the remaining one was kept, and Lynn didn't want to die like she did last time.
The cone cells directly attacked the monster cell with their cone, and before the monster cell could spray the dissolved liquid, it was drilled open by the cone with powerful attack power, but in doing so, it also caused its body to burst open, and a large amount of dissolved liquid was sprayed out inside.
One of the cones was covered in lysate and quickly festered into pieces, while the other had only some damage on the cone-shaped hardened membrane because Lynn had made it back in time.
It seems that the cone cell is not very resistant, but it is much better than the basic cell.
But perhaps the damaged cell will be able to divide into cells that are resistant to lytic fluids.
Wait a minute......
Lynn suddenly remembered her original purpose, as if her purpose was not to get any resistant cells here, but to get the lytic solution of the strange cells into the hole and see if she could melt the hard parts of the food.
In that case......
Lynn's vision locked on the large piece of lysate that had been released after the monster cell had died.
Maybe you can eat these liquids?
Lynn felt that her thoughts were getting richer and richer.
