4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 16 Water Flow
Lin's plan was to continue to occupy the rock and dominate all food cracks, but the sudden flow of water interrupted her thoughts.
Water, Lin's understanding of it is all over the world. With water, its cells can move. Water has always been very quiet, but sometimes it will instantly become fatal ice crystals, sometimes it is like this, It became violent and terrifying.
A torrent of high-speed skimming passed through the entire rocky area, and countless cells were instantly rolled up by the current and disappeared without a trace.
Lynn kept most of the cells behind some higher rocks. Diggers and cone-shaped cells could also use serrations to fix themselves in the rock cracks, but this could not prevent a large number of downsizing of the community.
Another rushing current rushed through, and a large number of cells were flushed out at once, suddenly leaving Lin's sight.
There are more than three thousand losses.
Lin silently counted the numbers. Those cells that were washed away did not actually leave Lin ’s thoughts. Lin could still feel them, but when Lin let them swim back, they would soon be washed away by the torrent. After several consecutive times, Lin felt that they had little hope of swimming back.
Lin didn't know why the water flow became like this, just as it once did not know why the water suddenly freezes, even though the community has grown a lot, Lin still has a lot of puzzles.Facing the raging water, Lin didn't even have the opportunity to resist, so she could only hold on.
This torrent is not continuous, but intermittent wave after wave, and there are no rules at all, making it difficult for Lin to calculate the timing.
Once again a wave of water washed away a lot of cells, Lin no longer wanted to stay here to die, who knows how long these currents will last?If this continues, Lin will lose at least 90% of the community, and only the rest will hide in the stone
The few cells in the back, although washed away and not lethal, are easily attacked by viruses or other cells after being dispersed. Even if Lin ’s thoughts are not lost, Lin does not know how long it takes them to swim back
Come.
So Lin launched the action, but instead of fighting the current, she went deeper and reached a place where no current could affect it.
Lynne needs to hide in the rock.
But no matter what kind of cell, it is impossible to dig out the solid rock, so Lin has only one way to hide in the rock.
It was from the crack that sprayed hot water.
The rift was large enough to accommodate dozens of cells. Lin had observed it before. The rift of the hot spring was more spacious as it went down. Lin calculated that there might be a huge space in it.
The hot spring is actually just ejected from some small cracks on the wall of the crack. As long as it enters the depth, the water will not be so hot.
In this way, the only question left is how to get through the hot spring at the beginning.
Immediately after the next wave of water passed, Lin immediately gathered a large number of cells to swim to the hot spring rift, trying to enter before the next wave of water arrived, and for the hot spring of this rift, Lin had taken precautions.
Lin asked the huge storage squad to form a shield in front to resist the hot springs that rushed up, and to carry the cells behind to go deeper.
The impact force of the hot spring is much smaller than the current of the outside water, and even the community bearing the hot spring Lin can easily advance, not to mention the hot spring is intermittent.
Lin had exercised the resistance of these storagers to high fever before. Although he will die after being washed for a long time, even if he is killed by heat, Lin will let the cone cells suspend their bodies and continue to be used as a heat-resistant shield. Using this method, Lynn successfully let a large number of cells into the hot spring rift.
As you go deeper, as Lin thought, the surrounding space became more and more spacious. From the beginning, it could only accommodate dozens of cells to become able to accommodate more than thousands. Lin felt that if it reached the bottom, even let it All communities come in without problems.
And at this depth, there were no cracks in the surrounding cave walls that sprayed hot springs, and the water temperature here began to return to normal.
Luck seems to be particularly lucky. Lin hasn't passed the next wave of water since entering the rift, and its large number of cells are already safe.
Just when Lin thought so, suddenly a violent current washed the rocks again, washing away many of Lin ’s cells outside the rift.
However, Lin has now entered more than 70% of the community, and there are not many left.
Lin found that its community also started to approach the bottom of the rift. It is very spacious here and should be like a huge cave.
But there is a problem ...
Especially dark.
Lin tried to judge the spaciousness of the space here by relying on the scarce light from the entrance, but it couldn't see more detailed information.
If you leave below the rift where the light is coming directly, then you will be endlessly dark.
Do you venture into the darkness?Or wait here until the water flow outside stops?
Either way, Lin felt it was not a good idea.
……Ok?
Lin suddenly saw a flash of light in the dark cave.
what is that?
The blue light flashed in Lin's field of vision. They were in darkness, extinguished in an instant, and lit up in an instant, which caused Lin's curiosity.
Lynn had never seen the light in the dark. She wanted to figure out what it was, but she was more concerned about whether it was a threat or a safety.
So, Lin asked several diggers to swim to those glowing spots.
Feeling that, Lin learned from the digger ’s touch that the waves of light in the water ... was that ... a living creature?
However, at the moment when the diggers were closer, the entire cave suddenly lit up!
Light……
Countless small light spots lit up one after another in Lin's line of sight, instantly forming a sea of light as bright as a starry sky, dispelling all the darkness here.
Starry sky?
Lynn found that when she saw this light, she got a new word, which seemed to be used to refer to the vast and boundless things.
Lin noticed that these lights actually consisted of countless small dots. These small dots were elliptical cells. They were only one-fifth the size of Lin ’s cells, but their bodies shone with wonderful blue light.
With the help of the light, Lin also noticed the whole picture of the cave. It was indeed very spacious and huge. Its area was even comparable to that of Lin ’s territory outside, and most importantly, it was also covered with white and soft food.
However, the food here does not come out of the cracks, but like a layer of white paste sticking to the rocks, it is spread on the walls of the cave, and it is everywhere in the cave.
White paste?By the way, just name these foods white paste.
These glowing little cells are eating these white pastes. Because there is enough food, they almost cover the entire cave. But even with this amount, they seem to be very afraid of Lin. Lin found that the few close to the digger only need to be close. The surrounding glowing cells will immediately escape.
It seems that a good place has been found, and there are no strong enemies here, nor will it be affected by the water flow. Is there any place better than developing communities here?
That's right, as long as you kill all the weak things ...
Lin turned her gaze to the large group of glowing cells here. Only one thought was needed. A large number of diggers, cone cells, and acid injectors could easily destroy this group of weak cells.
Lin, however, has not started.
Although they will emit light, if they kill, they can have a larger community and a safe territory, and Lynn may also evolve the luminous ability in this environment. It is useless to keep them ...
Although thinking this way, Lin looked at the flashing small cells, but she didn't do anything.
……This feeling……
It seems to have appeared before.
