Chapter 22: The Explorer

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

Lynn's life is still like this.

On top of the rocks, the countless tentacles growing in the cortex kept waving, and the needle cells on their bodies did not spare any approachers, hunting these cells that swam or just passed by, and Lynn grew slowly and continuously......

Lynn didn't know what to do with it next.

The number of cells that pass through is endless, as if they can't be eaten at all, but they are very random, and it is possible to appear in the thousands after the first night and nothing after the second night.

The plaster that had been coming out of the cracks or caves in the rocks began to slowly decrease.

If one of these two food sources fails, then Rin's large community will collapse.

Lynn's current community, if you count the cells that combine into the tentacles and cortex, is tens of millions, although Lynn has various ways to reduce food consumption, and there are a large number of fat cells to store food, but Lynn does not want to have problems with food sources.

Do you want to leave?

Leave this rock and return to the endless deep blue.

Feel...... It's risky, although Lynn should be able to swim with tentacles, and the individual cells can also ride the cortical structure without being scattered as before.

But Lynn didn't know what would come in the deeper water, and Lynn didn't really want to leave this comfortable place.

After all, there's food popping up all the time from above and below, and what better place to do it?

Lynn didn't act, but began to dig into the rocks beneath her.

It wants to find the secret of why the white paste came out.

Lynn used her strong muscle cells to reach into the cracks in the rock, and through guò constantly splitting to squeeze through the torn solid stones.

Some of the cracks in the rock were torn open by Lynn, and more white paste came out of them.

But Lynn wanted to do more than that, she had to make a bigger hole in the rock so she could drill into it and see how the plaster came out.

Muscle cells alone are not enough.

Lynn's diggers are unable to dig through rocks, but what about giant diggers? Lynn assembled some of the diggers into a sphere whose exterior was covered with jagged teeth that looked like a gigantic digger.

This massive digger has thicker, sharper serrations, and it can easily dig through solid rock by sticking its head to the rock and twisting its head.

Although Lynn was now able to dig through the rock, the size of the rock made it impossible for it to dig deep in a short period of time.

However, digging for stones seems to be a lot of fun.

Lynn began to enjoy digging rocks, thus throwing the things she was leaving out of her mind.

What it didn't expect was that staying in this place, which seemed comfortable at the moment, would usher in the road of ruin......

Countless nights passed again, and Lynn's excavation progressed deeper and deeper.

It was mainly excavated in the cave, so it felt closer to the white paste inside, but Lin had already dug a big hole, and there was indeed a lot of white paste hidden in the rock, almost every time the huge digger scraped the rock with a sawtooth, there were countless pieces of white paste and rock debris drifting out, but Lin still couldn't understand how the white paste came out.

Odd......

Doubts popped up in Lynn's thoughts, but it wasn't caused by something about the excavation.

Lynn's observer watched the excavation progress from the cave, while the eyeball tentacles looked out at the outer cortex.

Seven nights have passed, but the surrounding waters are still calm, and no cells or even viruses have swam.

This phenomenon has never happened before.

Even if there are no cells at some point, they will gush out in large numbers every other night.

Lynn has a lot of fat cells, which can keep her safe for a long time after being completely cut off from food sources, but Lynn can't stand this strange phenomenon.

Something happened.

Something Lynn didn't know.

Although Lynn doesn't want to go out and risk at the moment, she doesn't want to wait here either.

Lin began to act, it used basal cells, fat cells and muscle cells to form a tentacle, this tentacle body is long, can swing its body from side to side to swim in the water, the head of the tentacle is transparent oval, the inside is hollow, due to the placement of some fat cells, and Lynn's observer also enters it, so that the tentacles have vision.

Lynn refers to the tentacles as 'explorers', and while Lynn won't mobilize the entire colony, Lynn can get a tentacle to set off and explore other waters that it hasn't touched in a long time.

Thinking about it, the explorer began to swing his body, and for the first time, Lin swam with the combined cells, and the initial movement was a little clumsy, not only did not swim up, but the stirred water rushed away the large group of cells around him.

But Lynn knew what to do immediately, and the explorer was quickly swimming in the water.

After swimming a few laps inside the cortex, Lynn felt good, and this appearance was much faster than the average cell swim.

Once ready, Lynn began to swim outward, the muscle cells in her cortex slowly contracting, opening the way for the explorer to the outside.

The Explorer is not very large, and is even smaller than the tentacles covered with needle puncture cells outside the cortex, so it is able to enter and exit the small holes in the cortex.

Countless tentacles swayed slowly on the cortex, but unfortunately they were of no use without prey.

Lynn left the rock where she had been there for a long time, and the explorer slowly swam towards the unknown waters......

Lin had the observer at the explorer's head, and as the explorer swung its body, it could also observe the surrounding environment, but after swimming for a while, Lin felt a little disappointed, and the scenery continued except for water and water.

Perhaps, we should swim back to the place where the huge white paste used to be.

Lynn remembered the area that had been frozen over, and although there were no signposts in the ocean, Lynn still knew how to get back there.

It seems that a lot of strange new words have popped up?

Lin doesn't care much about these new words now, she cares more about what is going on, so that there are no cells.

As the explorer swam, Lynn could feel the changes in the waters around her.

Chilly......

The water here was much colder than before, and the further the explorer swam, the worse it felt, but Lynn found a way to resist the cold.

It is the guò cells that constantly shake the body so that it can keep the body from being invaded by the cold, a method that Lin calls 'shivering'.

However, shivering will consume more energy, Lin expected this situation, so she brought some fat cells, but the number is not much, if it continues like this, I am afraid it will not last long, and the explorer will be frozen to death.

In that case, Lynn won't give up, and she will assemble a larger explorer.

…… I don't think there's any need for that.

Navigating the colder and colder waters, Lynn now finally saw something other than water, and it was...... Ice crystals.

Countless ice crystals floated in the water, they were of various sizes, but the largest was no bigger than Lynn's explorers, these ice crystals were all over the water, and Lin remembered that this was once the location of the giant white paste, and then when the water froze, the white paste was also formed into ice, but now why are only these floating ice crystals left?

It's weird...... Could it be something so huge that it shattered the whole piece of frozen white paste?

I want to know......

Curiosity drove Lin to continue exploring, and as it swam among the ice crystals, it suddenly felt as if the temperature here was slowly rising, and the cold sensation decreased, so that Lynn's explorer did not have to continue to shiver.

Lin swam away with the warmth, and in the warmer waters, the ice crystals became smaller than before, until finally they had left the area full of ice crystals, and the water temperature here returned to normal temperatures.

At this time, Lin asked the explorer to turn his head to look, and saw a large ice crystal floating above him, so he said, is he going downstream?

The concept of 'down' was only recently clarified by Lynn, and when Lynn combined the cells into something larger, it could feel some kind of force pulling it in one direction, and although it was easy to overcome this force, Lynn couldn't help but wonder what this force was.

The new word for this force is 'gravity', which seems to be some kind of peculiar force that has a more pronounced effect on the larger the object.

Since then, Lynn has classified the direction of gravity as 'below' and the opposite as 'above'.

Lin was a little strange, it was always warmer at the top, and closer to the light, why was it warmer at the bottom this time?

Just as Lynn was thinking, a strange sight appeared before her eyes.
