Compassion?
What exactly is this? Is this compassion good or bad? It seems like this is the feeling that occasionally pops up when Lynn wants to kill.
But it's weird, isn't it? Lynn will occasionally take the cells of her own community to die or kill them because of the real yàn virus or something, but she doesn't feel these things for her own cells, so why does she feel for cells that are not of her own race?
Is it because it is 'self' that I don't feel it?
Lin didn't understand, and all Lynn could do was know that this compassion would prevent her from continuing to grow and grow her community.
So Lynn shouldn't have followed it.
Lin gave the group of glowing cells a name called the photofungus, and then Lin decided to attack them.
Lin let the gathered colony spread out and dispersed to attack the surrounding light bacteria, although the light bacteria are not resistant, they swim quite fast, and Lin has no kind of cells that can catch up with them.
Therefore, Lin began to use some siege tactics to drive the photobacteria into the corner, after all, this is a cave, and there will always be an end.
Soon, Lin succeeded in driving more than half of the light bacteria to the end of the cave, and when there was no way back, the light bacteria were piled together, like a huge luminous object, and the light seemed to be much brighter, so that Lin could barely see clearly.
But that won't stop Lynn from attacking them.
Dealing with a large number of enemies in groups, Lin summoned the most lethal cell in the group, the blastball.
These large cells, filled with deadly lytic fluid and ready to explode at any moment, can easily destroy a large number of enemies, and although many of these slow-moving cells have been washed away by the current of water outside, there are still a lot left, enough to kill all the light bacteria here.
Lin first let dozens of blasts come forward, approaching the group of light bacteria piled up at the end of the cave, the balls did not stop after approaching the opponent, they desperately twisted their bodies and squeezed into the light bacteria, and then quickly sucked the water and expanded their bodies, and then- boom!
A popper exploded, and the dissolved liquid released from its body instantly dissolved hundreds of photobacteria around it into powder.
The balls exploded one after another, and almost every time they exploded, the community of photobacteria would be smaller, and the light they emitted as a whole would be dim.
Lynn doesn't like slaughter, but it won't stop until every last light fungus has rotted into powder.
Something special happened along the way, though.
In the process of absorbing water and expanding, some photobacteria are sucked in, and these photobacteria will quickly melt by the dissolved solution after entering the body of the blastball, but the debris they leave behind is still in the body of the blast ball, and these debris will emit a blue light like the photobacteria themselves.
Some poppers that have devoured more light bacteria will also become like light bacteria and shiny throughout their bodies.
It's really strange that a new cell, the flash blastball, is born.
It's a lot of fun.
Lin immediately changed the combat method, from the original direct use of the blast ball to kill the light fungus, changed to let the blast ball devour the light bacteria, in fact, this combat method is also very efficient, because the size of the blast ball is huge, they eat no less than the explosion kills.
No matter what, Lin still didn't stop slaughtering the photofungus.
Until the last light fungus in the corner of the cave is eaten.
The destruction of the light fungus did not turn the cavern back into darkness, and their light was instead stored in the blast sphere, and now these huge explosive cells also have the function of lighting.
However, Lin had only killed half of the light fungi, and the other half was crowded at the end of the other end of the cave, and they seemed to sense the slaughter that Lin had done to their companions, so they were more densely packed and emitted more shiny light, even giving Lin the illusion that they were a giant creature.
This made Lynn a little strange, thinking that the photobacteria should have escaped from the rift or evolved some kind of ability to fight it, but they didn't actually do anything, just huddled there and died.
Lynn won't stop.
The blast balls just now have evolved into hundreds of flash blastballs because of the light fungus, and Lin thinks that this number is enough, so she can simply kill them next.
Whether they are eaten directly, blown up, or chopped, the fragments of the cells will be recycled by Lynn with almost nothing left, and nothing will be wasted.
Lynn's swarm of cells swam and forced the last of the light fungi hiding at the other end of the cave.
This time Lynn intends to shred them directly with diggers and cone cells.
The photobacteria seem to sense the imminent crisis, they become restless and agitated, and some of them do strange things, swimming towards Lynn's colony and then directly rushing at the digger or cone cell sawtooth with their fragile bodies, and then letting themselves be crushed by the sawtooth.
What are they doing?
Seeing this kind of suicide for the first time, Lin was very puzzled.
Of course, photobacteria don't explode like poppers, they don't release any toxic substances when they die, they just commit suicide.
Lin found that about 30% of the photobacteria rushed up to commit suicide, and the rest were still piled up there.
Do they want to sacrifice a small amount of money in exchange for the survival of the group? They may have thought that as long as Lynn had enough food, she would not continue to slaughter.
Very simple and understandable way to fight...... Very reasonable way to fight...... This is probably the only way to do it when there is no means of defense.
But Lynn's colony stopped moving...... Why?
The sympathy in her thoughts seemed to pop up again, and Lin was puzzled, obviously she often did it herself, and she had already analyzed that this was just a very normal means of survival......
But why is 'compassion' still there?
Lin looked at the last group of photobacteria piled up in the corner, but Lin didn't move forward in the end.
Forget it.
Lin pushed it away, intending to let the light bacteria leave on their own, although it was okay to continue killing them, but Lin would feel very uncomfortable.
Lynn doesn't think that's a good thing, it might compromise now, but Lynn thinks it's going to expel the 'compassion' thing sooner or later.
Lin now looked at the white and soft food that Lin had named White Cream.
They really stick to the surface of the cave walls like a layer of paste, and they are everywhere, probably taking up more than 90% of the entire cavern.
Capturing this place means that Lin has access to more resources than the outside.
Although it made Lin excited, it also made Lin wonder, where did all this white paste come from? Why do they stick to the stone wall in large quantities? I remember that I had encountered a very large piece of white paste before, and if it hadn't froze there, Lin might have developed over there.
Lynn felt more and more strange about the white ointment, and she felt that one day it would figure out where the food came from, and what made them up.
But at a time when this ability is not enough, let's slowly become stronger first.
Lynn let the cells spread out and began to gather food, and found that the group of photobacteria was still crowded in the corner, not knowing when they would go out.
However, Lin didn't want to care about them, the number of light bacteria was very small, and they couldn't be seen when they were scattered, but after they gathered into a group, Lin could estimate that they only occupied about 10% of the area of the cave, and now there were so few left, even if they were left alone, it would not have any effect on Lin.
Lynn began to devour a qiē of food here, replenishing the amount lost in the water outside.
Although the cave was very peaceful, Lynn didn't plan to stay forever.
Lynn's findings are that when it comes to living things, whether it's against viruses or other cells, it has a good chance of winning, but when it comes to non-living things, such as water currents or ice crystals, Lynn's community has little resistance.
And these events always come suddenly, and they can cause great damage to Lynn in an instant.
Lynn needs to find a way to counter these sudden threats......
For the water outside, Lin had already thought of a way.
