Chapter 8 The Cold Spring Comes

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Cold, that's the only message in this body of water.

Lynn's acid-infusing and cone cells had all been sacrificed in the spreading freeze, and only 91 diggers survived, forming a circle to keep Lynn's observers untroubled by the freezing.

And outside this circle, there was already a world of ice, and through the transparent bodies of these diggers, Lin could see that it was different from the blue and deep liquid water before, but a still and crystalline realm.

Lynn's colony suffered heavy losses under this seemingly beautiful crystal, and although it was not known how the diggers were not frozen in the end, Lynn did not want to stay here anymore.

Lynn told the diggers to start moving, trying to see if they could find a way out of here.

Some of the diggers were stuck to the ice, but they could be detached with a slight twist.

These diggers seem to have evolved to freeze their cells at the slightest touch of ice, but they are much better.

However, as they moved, Lynn could clearly feel the cold touch of the outer cell membrane touching ice crystals......

This seems to be pain, but unlike ordinary pain, it doesn't make Lin feel a strong desire to get rid of the pain, but it makes Lin feel like she wants to shrink into a ball and not move.

However, this feeling did not affect Lynn's activities,

The area was frozen, and the only thing left to swim in was this small area where Lynn's ninety-two cells were located, and all the water around it had formed impassable ice.

Maybe dig up?

Lynn tried to get the diggers to scrape the ice crystals with the serrations on the surface, but this did nothing but create some ice chips, and it was almost impossible to break through the ice that had frozen the entire body of water.

Lynn didn't know what to do.

The massive reduction of the colony made Lynn's intelligence much lower again, and it was unable to think about overly complex things.

But in fact, even if Lin had the wisdom of more than a thousand colonies at that time, it was helpless, and at this time, it could only wait.

Luck or death.

I don't know how long it took, although Lynn knew the word time, but she didn't know its concept, but Lynn felt the effect of time.

First of all...... Hunger.

Lynn felt hungry for the first time, and there seemed to be a feeling in her mind calling for food to replenish the energy drain from her activity.

Lynn told the diggers to stop sawing the ice and reduce energy consumption by reducing their activities, which she still knows.

However, not moving does not mean that there is a pause, and the cells are still constantly losing energy, even if it is much slower than when they are moving.

Lin continued to wait, and when it did what every creature should do, and when it couldn't do anything on its own, it stopped moving, waiting for what it could do around it.

In the process of waiting, several diggers experienced energy depletion, which was a special pain, unlike other painful feelings, in the case of energy depletion, the cell membranes and cores would begin to slowly shrink, become dry and small, and finally die.

Lynn had the other cells eat the energy-drained corpses, and their death allowed the other cells to buy more time.

The phenomenon of starvation caused new ideas to arise in Lynn's thoughts.

Every time the cells eat food, they quickly digest it and then divide, and they quickly consume the energy they get.

But what if there was a way to store energy? If there is a way to save a large amount of energy in the cells, you will not have to be afraid if you encounter this situation again.

Lynn came up with a new word...... Fat.

I don't know the exact meaning, but the word seems to mean stored food.

So, next time, you have to try to see if you can store food.

If you can get out alive......

With this thought, Lynn remained motionless, all the cells were the same, floating quietly in the water.

The cold was draining Lyn's will, and the feeling of cold made Lynn want to sleep more and more forever......

But Lynn won't give up, and although the wait is long, luck will come sooner or later......

Lynn's observer cell noticed a crack in the ice in front of her.

Warm, Lynn felt a different feeling from the cold, this new feeling awakened every cell of Lynn, and Lynn found that the cracks in the ice were getting more and more......

Under Lynn's gaze, the ice crystals slowly shattered and cracked, forming countless huge ice cubes, and these ice cubes began to slowly shrink, just like the process of food being digested, they became smaller and smaller, and then completely disappeared into the water......

These ice crystals appeared out of thin air, froze all the qiē, and then disappeared in an instant, and if it weren't for the fact that there were still some ice crystal debris floating around that had not completely dissolved, Lin almost felt as if this qiē had never happened.

Lynn's cells, 77 remaining, including the Observer, have survived this crisis.

They are highly resistant to the cold, and although the disaster nearly wiped out Rin's colony, Lynn has also become stronger.

Lin's priority now is to find something to eat and restore the original colony, which is now slow and fragile due to the loss of a lot of energy.

Lynn swam in the water, although the ice was almost dissolved, but the cold was still spreading in the water, and Lin reached the place where the huge food was before, only to see that a layer of ice had formed on the white food, and it seemed that the ice cleanness had also affected this place.

Lin asked the diggers to try to dig through the ice on top of the food, but no matter how much they writhed, they could only saw some ice chips on it, and it was difficult to do any effective damage to the ice.

Why isn't the ice melting here, and it's so hard......

Lynn didn't know what the reason was, but she felt it again, and it was slowly getting cold again, and the ice chips floating in the water around her seemed to have a tendency to get bigger.

Maybe here it will freeze again.

As soon as the thought came to Lynn's mind, it immediately left the place with all the cells, and Lynn didn't want to see it again.

Lynn's only hope is to go to the endless deep blue again, to find new food, and warm new places.

Warm......

Lynn felt it and swam in one direction, where the water began to be different from the cold it had been before, but to make it comfortably warm.

By the way, this direction is the direction in which the amoeba fled before.

It didn't take long for the cell swarm to swim before Lin spotted the amoeba, the behemoth that had not escaped the danger of freezing, its body was covered with frost, and its entire huge body was slowly floating in the water without the slightest life.

Although it has now warmed and begun to thaw, it does not seem to be waking up again.

Lin asked the diggers to come forward, and the frost on the amoeba was very fragile and brittle, and the diggers easily sawed it open, and the still soft amoeba body was exposed to Lynn's eyes.

Eat.

This is all Lynn has in mind.

The diggers began to gnaw on the amoeba's body, cutting through countless debris with serrated teeth in the old way, and then slowly eating it, and after replenishing their energy, the cold damage to their cells began to slowly disappear and become energetic again.

Then came the split, and the number of surviving diggers began to slowly increase.

But Lin didn't forget what Jì had thought before.

It stores energy, and Lynn needs something called fat to keep her cells alive even if she doesn't have food for a long time.

One more thing.

Lynn hopes to get back the acid injectors and cone cells that have completely disappeared during the freeze crisis.
