4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 24 The First Mass Extinction
Lynn ’s observer swam to the green cells and wanted to see what happened.
These cells are oval in shape, and their appearance is very ordinary. Their body shape is only similar to that of Lin's. Lin remembers seeing similar green cells before. They are nothing special.
It doesn't seem to be a fierce hunter, he didn't have any terrible weapons on his body, and he didn't respond to Lin's approach.
It seems that massive cell death has nothing to do with them?But why are they all right?
Most of these green cells are slowly wandering, occasionally shaking the body, but it seems that there is no hurry to go, even if there is such a large body of corpses below, they do not want to eat.
What does this green community grow to be so huge by eating?
Curiosity brought Lin closer again, and found that when these green cells were shaking their bodies, their cell membranes occasionally popped out some transparent spherical things.
what is that?
gas?bubble?
This is a very new word. Gas seems to refer to a shapeless, volumeless deformable thing.
When Lin gets a new word, there is a certain chance that she will get an explanation for the new word, but this explanation actually makes Lin more puzzled.
These transparent spheres, called gases, obviously have a shape, and they will not deform.
When Lin thought this, she saw two small gas balls colliding together, and then they synthesized a bigger ball, even faster than Lin synthesized cells, and the connection was perfect, even I can't see that they are actually two.
This is really strange!
Lin was attracted to the scene at once, and the green cells shook again a few times at this time, more bubbles came out of their bodies, and a few bubbles floated before Lin's eyes.
Lin was curious, but she wouldn't take the observer to take risks. It let the observer back and let a fat cell next to touch the bubble.
The bubbles melted into the cell membrane instantly when they touched the fat cells.
it hurts!
Immediately afterwards was the intense pain from this cell. The air bubble seemed to stir in the fat cells constantly, making the nucleus and everything rot.
The fat cells died quickly.
This scene frightened Lin, is it true that the bubble is actually a virus?
But through the transparent cell membrane, Lin could see that the air bubbles in the fat cell body did not proliferate and did not take any action, which was completely different from the virus's behavior pattern.
So what exactly is a bubble?
Why can it destroy the entire cell?
Lin now only knows what caused that massive cell death.
But Lin did not have time to think next. The green cells above the group released more and more bubbles. Lin did not want to lose the observer. Lin immediately let the observer and the remaining fat cells swim deeper at full speed , Because the bubbles do n’t seem to move down.
After Lin's cells swim to a certain depth, they begin to go back. At this time, Lin also begins to strengthen the cortex of the base and allows all the tentacles on the cortex to shrink into the cortex.
All the tentacles on Lin's cortex except the giant tentacles can be retracted into the cortex, because Lynn made some changes to them, and now these tentacles are not on the outermost cortex, but on the middle layer. The cell wall protrudes through a hole that can be opened and closed in the cortex, and can be retracted when in danger.
It has been a long time since Lin has encountered danger, but this time the crisis has made Lin feel terrified.
Each green cell can release hundreds of bubbles. When hundreds of millions of cells are released together, the range covered by the bubbles will be very scary.
Lin now only hopes that the group of green cells will not pass through her base. It doesn't know if the structure of the cortex can block the bubbles.
base?
Lin suddenly realized that the word seemed to be new, and it was used unconsciously, but now she doesn't have so much control.
Wow--
The water suddenly became restless, and the observer Lin was rushing back was flushed out.
It's water!Why did it happen at this time?
Lin looked back, and saw that the large group of green cells were also floated here by the current, and at the same time, there were countless bubbles ...
The bubbles will only move upwards in the still water, but under this violent water flow they will be scattered around in a flash, and instantly fill the entire water area!
Lin's observers also had several fat cells that could not escape these bubbles. They were surrounded by a large number of bubbles at once, and the slower fat cells were penetrated into the membrane by bubbles at once.
Only the observer managed to avoid the bubble, but Lynn had little time to worry about it.
Because this stream of water is rushing towards Lin's base!
Lin had retracted all her tentacles, and then she could only wait, and she could only expect the bubbles to penetrate the cortex.
The water flow never gave Lin any good deeds. It continued to rampage and rushed the huge green cell community towards Lin's base. When a large green emerged from Lin's field of vision, Lin knew that the crisis was no longer possible avoided.
Lin finally retracted her eyeballs and tentacles into the cortex. At that time, the green cells that had flowed out of the water had covered up the outside light, and made the whole water gray and dark.
Lin's cortex is transparent, and even if the eyeballs are inside, you can see the outside. I saw that the green cells were being messed up by the water flow, and the bubbles released from them also spread everywhere.
Lin suddenly found out that the observer's field of vision was still there, and she saw this scene in her field of vision. It should have been washed back with the current, but she didn't expect to be alive.
Lynn opened a hole in the cortex and let the observer swim back.
At this moment, there were a few bubbles, close to Lin's cortex ...
Lin immediately closed the hole and stared tightly at the bubbles with her eyes and tentacles. Lin saw them stick to it.
Posted on it?
These bubbles seemed to stick to the cortex as if they were stuck, but they did not penetrate into the cells that make up the cortex.
Stop it?Lin didn't quite understand what was going on, but at the next moment, these air bubbles sticking to it suddenly penetrated into the cortex, and Lin felt great pain at the same time ...
Unstoppable?No matter whether it is a virus, a lysate sprayed by other cells, or a strong water flow, it can't be washed away. Can't it stop the bubbles?
why?
Lin had no time to think.
More bubbles stick to the cortex, and then they seep in like that, killing the cells that make up the cortex.
Once the cortical cells are killed, they will start to become fragile. Although their bodies can still be connected to it, blocking the entry of air bubbles, it is possible that the next water flow will wash these fragile points and let more bubbles flow. Come in.
Just thinking about it, the next stream of water rushed in, and the fragile part of the dead cell on the Lin cortex was instantly washed away by this torrent, and a large number of bubbles also poured in.
Unstoppable ...
Since defense cannot, then fight back!Yes, as long as the green cells are killed, then there will be no bubbles!
Lin's thoughts came into being instantly. It directly opened all the holes in the cortex. Numerous tentacles protruded from them. They waved their bodies and shot the green cells that covered the whole water with the needle cells on their bodies.
But the body of the tentacles is also composed of cells, and they will still be infiltrated by bubbles. At this moment, although Lin killed a lot of green cells, these tentacles have also destroyed a large half.
The colony of green cells is even larger than Lin's entire base, and because of Lin's attack, they flooded in one after another. The huge bubbles created by them instantly flooded Lin's base.
Go to die to die to die to die to die to die to calm down to die to kill light to die to retreat to retreat to retreat to retreat
Lin ’s thought flashed countless times in an instant, and it immediately let all the blasters and acid injectors rush out, desperately spraying the dissolving solution in the water, the amount of the dissolving solution even stained the entire water area, but these Although the lysate can kill green cells, it has no effect on air bubbles.
Lynn knew that the counterattack was useless, and then it let the remaining cells into giant tentacles and swam deep into the cave, and at the entrance of the cave with a large number of diggers, cone-shaped cells formed A solid protective wall.
When the giant tentacles also died due to bubbles, Lin could not receive the information outside at all.
The huge base built by Lynn and everything outside were destroyed by these small bubbles, but fortunately these bubbles will not go deep into the cave ...
What Lynn didn't know was that it was not only it that was devastated.
Because of the activity of lava and volcanoes on the sea floor, the temperature of the water is warming. The warm water temperature makes these green cells multiply in the sea on a large scale. The gas they release is deadly poisonous gas for all the creatures on this planet. With the increase of green color spreading all over the world, nearly 90% of the creatures are thus extinct in this ocean ...
In Lin's thoughts, there is actually a word to represent this gas.
"oxygen".

Um ... since it is the end of the first volume, then here is a wordy.
In fact, it ’s not that I do n’t want to do more. It ’s completely unpleasant to write. Some places are very troublesome to write. I always have to look at the microscope or documentary and various materials when writing. It takes a long time to write a chapter. The cell is sincere. Very complicated ...
However, the next is the era of multi-cells, which will be better written. I also prefer to study multi-cell animals. Anyway, the update will definitely accelerate sooner or later
Also, the update has been unstable recently due to problems such as power outages, but it will be better around ⑨ in the future.
Finally, thank you ~ Shengyangyu ~ wm19860826 ~ A small banana plantain ~
Yeah, it's just soy sauce
