Chapter 24: The First Mass Extinction
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Lynn's observer swam to the green cells to see what was going on.
The cells were oval-shaped, ordinary, and only about the same size as Lynn's, who remembered seeing similar green cells before, and they weren't anything special.
He didn't look like a murderous hunter, he didn't have any terrible weapons on him, and he didn't react to Lynn's approach.
As if mass cell death had nothing to do with them? But why are they okay?
Most of these green cells were slowly floating, occasionally shaking their bodies, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry to go anywhere, and even with such a large corpse below, they didn't seem to want to eat them.
What did this green community grow to such a large size by eating?
Curiosity brought Lynn closer a little closer, and she noticed that as the green cells shook their bodies, their cell membranes occasionally peeping out of some transparent spherical stuff.
What is that?
Gas? Bubble?
It's a very new word, and gas seems to refer to something that has no shape, no volume, and can be shaped.
When Lynn gets a new word, there is a chance that she will also get an explanation for the new word, but this explanation makes Lin even more confused.
These small transparent balls, called gases, have shapes, and they don't deform.
As Lynn thought so, it saw two small balls of gas collide together, and then they just merged into a larger ball, even faster than Lynn synthesized cells, and they were so perfectly connected that it was impossible to even tell that they were actually two.
This is really peculiar!
Lynn was immediately attracted by the sight, and the green cells shook a few more times, and more bubbles bubbled out of their bodies, and a few bubbles floated in front of Lynn's eyes.
Lynn is curious, but doesn't risk the observer, and makes the observer back away and lets a nearby fat cell touch the bubble.
When the bubbles come into contact with the fat cells, they instantly melt into the cell membrane.
It hurts!
This was followed by a sharp pain sensation coming from the cell, a bubble that seemed to stir inside the fat cell, smashing the nucleus and everything.
Fat cells die quickly.
This scene scared Lynn, could it be that the bubbles were actually a virus?
But through the transparent cell membrane, Lynn could see that the bubbles in the fat cell corpse did not proliferate, nor did they do anything, which was completely different from the behavior pattern of the virus.
So what exactly is a bubble?
Why can it destroy entire cells?
All Lynn now knows is what caused the mass cell death.
But Lin didn't have time to think about it next, the large group of green cells above released more and more bubbles, Lin didn't want to lose the observer, Lin immediately let the observer and the remaining fat cells swim deep at full speed, because the bubbles didn't seem to move down.
Once Lynn's cells had swam to a certain depth, they began to swim back, at which point Lynn began to strengthen the cortex at the base, and retracted all the tentacles on the cortex.
All the tentacles on Lynn's cortex, except for the large ones, can be retracted into the cortex, because Lynn has made some changes to them, and now these tentacles do not grow on the outermost cortex, but on the cell wall of the middle layer, and the holes that can open and close through the guò cortex can be retracted in case of danger.
It's been a long time since Lynn has been in danger, but this crisis has scared Lynn.
Each green cell can release hundreds of bubbles, and when hundreds of millions of cells are released at the same time, the bubbles cover a terrifying range.
Lynn now only hoped that the group of green cells would not pass through its base, and it did not know if the structure of the cortex could hold back the bubbles.
Base?
Lin suddenly realized that the word seemed to be new, and she had used it unconsciously, but not so much now.
Wow –
The water suddenly began to stir, and the observer who was rushing back was swept away.
It's the water! Why at this time?
Lin looked back, and saw that the large group of green blood cells were also washed by the water and floated over here, and at the same time, there were countless bubbles......
The bubbles only move upwards in the still water, but under this violent current, they are scattered everywhere in an instant, and the entire body of water is covered in an instant!
Lynn's observers and a few fat cells were unable to avoid the bubbles, and they were surrounded by a large number of bubbles at once, and the few slower-moving fat cells were immediately infiltrated into the membrane.
Only the observer managed to dodge the bubble, but Lynn had little time to worry about it.
Because this current is rushing in the direction of Rin's base!
Lynn had retracted all its tentacles, and the next thing it could do was wait, hoping that the bubbles wouldn't penetrate the cortex.
The current never gave Lynn anything good, and it continued to rampage, rushing the huge community of green cells towards Lynn's base, and when a large expanse of green emerged from Lynn's base's field of vision, Lynn knew that this crisis was inevitable.
Lynn finally retracted her eyeball tentacles into the cortex, and by this time the green cells that had come from the water had obscured the light outside, leaving the entire body of water gray and gloomy.
Lynn's cortex was transparent, and the tentacles of the eyeballs could see the outside even if they were inside, and the green cells were being washed away by the water, and the bubbles released from their bodies were spreading everywhere.
Lin suddenly found that the observer's vision was still there, and she also saw this scene in her field of vision, she should have been washed back with the current, but she didn't expect it to be alive.
Lynn opened a hole in the cortex and allowed the observer to swim back.
At this moment, there were several bubbles, close to Lynn's cortex......
Lynn immediately closed the hole and stared at the bubbles with her eyeball tentacles, which Lynn saw sticking to.
Stuck on it?
These bubbles stick to the cortex as if they are sticky, but they do not penetrate into the cells that make up the cortex.
Prevented? Lin didn't quite understand what was going on, but in the next moment, the bubbles that stuck to it suddenly seeped into the cortex, and Lin felt a sharp pain at the same time......
Unstoppable? The outer skin of the cortex, whether it is a virus, or the lytic fluid sprayed by other cells, or a strong stream of water, can't it be washed away, and it can't stop the bubbles?
Why?
Lynn didn't have time to think.
More bubbles stick to the cortex, and then they seep in like that, killing the cells that make up the cortex.
Cortical cells begin to become fragile once killed, and while their corpses can still be attached to them to prevent bubbles from entering, the next stream of water has the potential to break through these vulnerable spots and allow more bubbles to pour in.
As soon as he thought this, the next stream of water rushed in, and the fragile parts of the dead cells on the cortex were instantly swept away by this torrent, and a large number of bubbles also poured in.
Can't stop it......
Since you can't defend it, let's fight back! Yes, just kill all those green cells, so there will be no bubbles!
Lynn's thought was instantaneous, and it opened all the holes in the cortex, and countless tentacles protruded from it, and they swung their bodies, using the needle cells on their bodies to shoot the green cells that filled the entire body of water.
But the tentacles' bodies are also made up of cells, and they will still be infiltrated by bubbles, and at this moment, although Lin killed a large number of green cells, most of these tentacles were also destroyed.
And the community of green cells is even much larger than Lin's entire base, and because of Lin's attack, they have surged up, and the huge bubbles they created instantly flooded Lin's base.
Die, die, die, kill, kill, die, retreat, death
Lynn's thoughts flashed countless times in an instant, and then it immediately made all the poppers and acid injectors rush out, and sprayed the dissolved liquid desperately in the water, and the amount of dissolved liquid was so large that it even stained the entire water, but although these dissolved liquids could kill the green cells, they had no effect on the bubbles.
Lynn knew that it would be useless to fight back, so she sent the remaining cells into the giant tentacles and swam deeper into the cave, forming several layers of solid protective walls with a large number of diggers and cone-shaped cells at the entrance to the cave.
By the time the giant tentacles had also died from the bubbles, Lynn had been completely unable to receive information from the outside.
The huge base that Lin had built and all the qiē outside were destroyed by these small bubbles, which fortunately did not go deeper into the cave......
What Lynn didn't know was that it wasn't the only one who was hit by the devastation.
Because of the activity of lava and submarine volcanoes, the water temperature has warmed, and the warm water temperature has caused these green cells to multiply in the sea, and the gas they release is a deadly poisonous gas for all living beings on this planet, and these poisonous gases have spread all over the world with the increase of green, and nearly 90% of all living things have become extinct in this ocean......
In Lynn's mind, there was actually a word for this gas.
"Oxygen".

Well...... Since it's the end of the first volume, let's ramble on it here.
Actually, it's not that I don't want to do more, it's that I can't write it quickly at all, and it's very troublesome to write in some places, and when I write, I always have to watch a microscope or a documentary and all kinds of materials, etc., and it takes a long time to write a chapter, and the cell is really complicated......
But then it's the era of multicellularity, it's better to write, and I also prefer to study multicellular animals, anyway, the update will definitely accelerate sooner or later~
There are also some unstable updates recently due to power outages and other issues, but it will be better around 9 o'clock in the future.
Finally, thank you for the reward of ~Shengyang Fish~wm19860826~a small banana banana~
Well, just sauce purple
