4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 12 War
Lin's first huge community to face, these cells named "Crystal Bacteria" are very strange, they shine like ice, and there are several spikes like ice cones around the body, When Lin first saw them, she thought these things were not cells, after all, they looked like ice balls.
But they are not ice, but real cells. They will do cell-like movements, but Lynn is very curious how they can grow into this shape.
There are tens of thousands of these crystal bacteria, which occupy most of the food cracks in the middle area of this rock. They can also do this, but Lin must fight them to expand her territory.
Lin first gathered a large number of cells around the crystal bacteria territory, mostly cone cells and diggers. It wasn't planning to let the acid injectors move out so quickly.
Because Lin discovered in the process of occupying the cracks in the food, other cells may also be resistant to the acid solution of the acid injector.
Lin initially developed resistance to the lysate in the process of fighting strange cells, but obviously this evolutionary ability is not unique to it.
If you fight against crystal bacteria, it may last a long time, then they must have time and may evolve the ability to be immune to the lysate.
Therefore, it is the best choice to use the acid injector as the secret weapon to disintegrate the opponent.
Lin's observer looked down at the nearest group of crystal bacteria above. The crystal bacteria didn't know they were about to be attacked, and they still ate food accidentally.
Strike!
As a pioneer, the cone cells rushed directly to the group of crystal bacteria. They quickly approached the body of the crystal bacteria with the cone angle. Although the crystal bacteria were crystals, they were not comparable to the hardness of real ice crystals. After wearing it, the cone cells quickly turned up, and the serrations on the cone angle easily tore the crystal bacteria into countless fragments, and a large amount of debris floated in the water ...
The crystal bacteria attacked immediately after being attacked. Their method was also very ordinary, but they were punctured with pointed spikes on the cone cells. The part with the cone angle in front of the cone cells was very hard to be penetrated. So again, a large number of crystal bacteria were torn by the cone cells. Not long after, Lin's cone cells killed several crystal bacteria around the food cracks.
When Lin killed the other cracking crystal bacteria, it found that the behavior of the crystal bacteria changed. They began to move rhythmically, surrounding the cone cells with a group attack, and no longer only stupidly stiffened the cone cells. The part, but the soft part that is trying to go around behind it, not hardening behind the spiked cells.
They have no eyes and no vision ... Why would they know where to attack?Lin was very curious about the situation in front of her.
However, the sharp spines of the crystal bacteria do not have serrations, and just puncturing it does not cause much harm. The cone cells only need to turn around to use the cone angle to kill, and the crystal bacteria change the strategy again. The way of attacking, as long as a large number of spikes stab in, then the effect is the same regardless of whether there is a sawtooth, they can easily rotten the body of the cone cells!
Lin has more than 500 cone cells as forwards. They are under siege of thousands of crystal bacteria at this time. Most of the crystal bacteria came from other food cracks.
It turns out that the crystal bacteria distributed here are an entire group, so they can be called from a distance to increase staff.
Lin was thinking while observing the battle, but not only did it, these crystal bacteria were also constantly looking for their advantages in the battle. Instead, Lin ’s cone cells slowly failed because Lin did n’t command anymore.
Suddenly, countless crystal bacteria appeared in Lin's field of vision. The crystal film on them reflected the brilliant light and rushed towards the battle site.
This is ... all of them are dispatched?Lynn found that all the crystal bacteria stopped eating at the same time, but swam in place, thousands of people rushed into the war, and the cone cells were crowded under the heap of crystal bacteria, almost unable to move, only Can be pierced by countless spikes.
attack!Lin finally started the second step. Numerous diggers rushed up to join the battle. The diggers did not have a cone angle. The damage to the target was of course worse than the previous section, but the diggers won the huge number, a total of 7793, and to Speaking of one-on-one, the digger is better than the crystal fungus.
The digger who joined the fight broke the spikes of the crystal bacteria with saw teeth, shredding the opponent's body, and the crystal bacteria kept trying to siege the piercing vulnerable parts of the digger.
The observer has been in the distance, looking around the entire battlefield for Lin.
Lin initially calculated the number of crystal fungi, probably over 20,000. Here they no longer have reinforcements. All the crystal fungi participated in the battle, but the situation did not favor them. Instead, the crystal fungi were constantly retreating.
A digger can change about five crystal fungi.
If this goes on ... um?
Lin suddenly felt a strange feeling. From the information felt by a certain digger, the digger attacked the crystal bacteria with zigzag as usual. Originally, this should be able to tear the other party, but the digger failed to do it. The crystal fungus it targets is only pushed farther away.
Then the digger was surrounded by a large number of crystal bacteria and killed.
This phenomenon gradually spreads in Lin's cell colony. No matter the digger or cone cells, their sharp weapons can no longer harm the crystal bacteria, all they can do is push them away.
Is this evolution?So quickly evolved a sturdy shell that protects against sawtooth and cone angle attacks?
Lin was very surprised, because the evolution rate of this crystal bacteria was much faster than that of its cells.
... Wait, wrong!
Lin found that a crystal bacterium was stabbed by the cone angle of the cone cell, it was not injured, but was pushed to the side of another cone cell, and the attack of this cone cell easily punctured the crystal bacteria.
In this way, the crystal bacteria are not hardened by themselves, but ...
Lin began to observe carefully, and found that the diggers and cone cells that could not harm the crystal bacteria were covered with a layer of things on their saw teeth and cone angles.
It looks like some kind of black sticky substance. If it is stuck, the attack power of cone cells and digger will be greatly reduced.
Lin also noticed that on the battlefield, in addition to the remains of cell corpses, this black sticky substance floated everywhere, of course, there was none at the beginning, otherwise Lin had already discovered it.
The sticky substance will not stick to the crystal bacteria, only to Lin's cells.
In other words, these substances are released by the crystal bacteria, just like the acid-injector will not be hurt by their own acid, and the crystal bacteria will not be affected by these stickies.
With the help of viscous materials, the crystal bacteria regained their advantage again. They could easily kill those non-attacking diggers and cone cells, and Lin ’s community immediately suffered a lot of losses.
……Oh no……
Lin watched as she tried to steer them away from the sticky substance as much as possible.
Lynn noticed that the crystal bacteria are not secreting stickies. Where did these stickies come from?
... with!
Lin's vision stopped behind the army of crystal bacteria. I saw there were a few large crystal bacteria that were about ten times larger than the average crystal bacteria. They had no spikes, but those sticky substances were secreted from their membrane surface. from.
As it turns out, it seems that crystal fungi, like themselves, are a community of different species.
Lin acted immediately, and it sent special troops to those large crystal bacteria, intending to kill them instantly.
These troops are also diggers, but they have become very similar to the rock worms they saw before, carrying a large number of symbiotic thorn cells, and Lin also knows how to let these thorn cells attack.
Even sending out a crisis message, Lin is not clear about the details, but it only needs to prepare the cells for combat, and the thorn cells will start to become nervous and shoot at targets close to the range.
There are not many diggers equipped with spiny cells, or about 300. One is basically equipped with five, and there are more than 3,000 small crystal bacteria around the large crystal bacteria.
Each thorn cell can only attack once, and then it takes a long time to grow a thorn.
It's not easy ...
But there are only six large crystal bacteria, which means that Lin only needs to hit the target six times to end the battle.
