4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 37 The Eve of the Storm
Lin stayed quietly on the beach, observing this bizarre scene.
First, the leaf-shaped insects sprayed out a large number of cells in their own bodies, and then these cells were fused together in a wonderful way. Then, a group of disc creatures with long tentacles were attracted by these cells.
Lynn was puzzled. Why did the leafworm spray so many cells into the water?Isn't it expensive?It also attracted so many strange creatures.
Those strange flying disc-shaped creatures, Lin does not want to provoke them, but intends to observe the situation first. After preliminary calculations, these disc-shaped creatures should be dealt with very well. Their disc bodies must be soft, and Lin sees that their bodies can Rapid expansion and contraction to swim, although there are many tentacles but very thin, the power is certainly not great.
But these creatures are very large in number. They swim in the cell group ejected by the leafworm, and the tentacles on the body constantly stretch and shrink, seeming to draw prey into the body.
'Jellyfish'.
The new words that appear in the thoughts indicate that these flying disc tentacled creatures seem to be called this, which is not very satisfactory, but Lin does not need to think about the new name.
Lin is trying not to attack jellyfish. If they deal well, they will have another food source.
At this moment, Lin suddenly found that the surrounding light slowly dimmed.
Is this ... night?Is it coming?Lin has almost forgotten about the night, because it has never been to the night after the oxygen crisis woke up, but indeed, this night is much slower than it used to be. I do n’t know why?
Falling into the dark is not a good thing. The flash burst is too small to illuminate the entire carrier, and because it has never been dark, Lynn did not make too many flash bursts.
Lin first let the breeders who feed the green cells around return to the aircraft carrier, and then let the guardian and the aircraft carrier stay together on the sand, ready to face the darkness.
As the surrounding light dimmed, the floating jellyfish slowly showed a blue light. As the surroundings became darker, they even illuminated the water.
It's so beautiful ... do they have some connection with photobacteria?
It's been a long time since the word "beauty" appeared in Lin's thoughts. It looked at the group of gleaming jellyfish floating in the water. Suddenly it saw a jellyfish float over and approached the position of the aircraft carrier and the guard.
Do you want to attack?
The flashing jellyfish moves in the sand in front of Lin. If Lin wants to attack it, it is quite easy. Lin's only worry now is, if you attack this one, will the jellyfish above rise in groups?
Just when Lin hesitated, the jellyfish suddenly changed direction and floated over, and it didn't look like it was attacking, but it slowly swam past Lin's carrier, but its tentacles gently brushed the carrier A small piece of cortex.
it hurts!
Lin felt a strong pain in the cortex that was touched spreading between the cells, and even began to enter the blood vessels linking the cortex!
Is this a virus?No, it seems different?Should it be ... venom?In short, it must be interrupted urgently!
Lin sent out strong thoughts, causing all the cells around the pain point to self-death, the heart stopped beating, and the invaded blood vessel also broke in an instant, preventing the venom from continuing to penetrate.
Lin no longer felt pain. Its emergency response was very good. Then Lin temporarily blocked the section of the blood vessel, and the heart began to beat again, and then engulfed the devourer to see the injured part of the cortex.
This is ... thorn cells?
The devourers found on the cortex that a large number of cells adhered to the necrotic cortex, and they all had a hole in the body. There was a silk thread in the hole, and the tip of the silk thread was acupuncture. These needles were inserted in Lin's cortex. It seems that they injected venom into them.
These venoms circulate between cells according to the cell's nutrient-sharing structure, but as long as Lynn stops the life activities of a circle of cells around, they will not be able to pass.
Fortunately, only a small piece of cortical cells was injured. This kind of small injury is very simple to repair, but even if it continues to spread, these venoms will become more and more sparse, and it will eventually become unable to kill cells. After all, it is not a virus Can keep growing.
However, Lin is sure to kill the jellyfish this time.
The jellyfish is still nearby, so you do n’t have to swim far. Let the guardians try it first. Lin also wants to see if the resurrected front round shield worm works well, and if it is attacked by the other party, its hard shell will probably Protect it.
Thinking, Lin asked the guardian to crawl over slowly. When it climbed under the jellyfish, Lin found a problem.
The guards can't use pliers to hold the jellyfish floating in the water. The reason is very simple, its articulation can't bend upward.
Well, forget it, or do it directly.
Lin made the aircraft carrier swim toward the target and hit the jellyfish's disc-shaped body with a violent hammer.
The blown jellyfish ejected a large bubble, and its body was blown out and landed on the beach not far away.
Lin immediately urged the guardian to rush up, grabbing its tentacles with pliers before the jellyfish swam again, and then pressed the whole up, tearing her body apart.
Quite simply, and the jellyfish around didn't move as Lin thought, they didn't seem to know that a companion was killed here, which means there should be no communication between them.
Lin released a large number of devourers. Lin planned to look at the structure of the jellyfish before eating it.
The devourers approached the jellyfish. Upon closer inspection, Lin found that their tentacles had dense holes, and each hole had a spiked cell. The density made Lin almost feel a little scared. If touched by a large number of tentacles, Lynn may have to take off the entire carrier skin.
Can Lin also use her thorn cells in this way?However, Lin's stinging cells are not as strong penetrating as the jellyfish, so Lin hasn't used them for a long time.
Lin was also the first to encounter single cells that can penetrate the cortex of the aircraft carrier. Although they are grown on multicellular organisms, it seems that the cortex must be hardened again, like the carapace of the guardian is completely no problem.
The body structure of the jellyfish is quite simple, there is no vascular structure, only some pockets, and these pockets are also covered with tentacles with acupuncture cells. Lin found that these tentacles also secrete lysate. It is estimated that these pockets are used for In addition, it is used to decompose food. In addition, there is no complicated structure, and the super-complexity of starfish is simply too big.
But it is simply jellyfish, leaf-shaped insects and other creatures that are so much larger than starfish, why?
Can it only grow bigger if it is simple?But the Buckler worm is also very large and should be very complicated.
…………
The jellyfish was eaten by Lin except for the thorny cells. At this time, the surroundings were completely darkened. In this water area, except for the bright light of the jellyfish, all the places were dark.
Lin watched the surroundings closely, but fortunately, no jellyfish floated over. It had repaired the wounds on the cortex and allowed some cells to swallow a small amount of residual venom, trying to evolve them into resistant individuals.
The jellyfish seem to have eaten the cells ejected by the leafworms. Lin found that their numbers began to decrease slowly, and many jellyfish swam away.
Every time there is one less jellyfish, the surrounding environment will be dim for a minute, and when they all leave, Lin can't see any light and objects.
Pure darkness, it seems that it has not been felt for a long time ... It seems that it really has to get a large luminous combination.
"Goo ..."
Suddenly, abnormal vibration came from the water.
what is that?
Lin's sensory tentacles sent a feeling that the waves in the water had changed significantly, and it felt like ... There was something huge shaking.
In the sway of the water, there are countless small vibrations. Lin knows that it should be the feeling that the gravel is turned up. Is there some kind of creature drilling out of the sand?
No, the sand around is shaking!
Lin hesitated, and then allowed the aircraft carrier to slowly swim upward, but the guards who could not swim could only stay on the beach.
The guards have no eyes, but they have tentacles for detection, so they can feel the vibration in the water.
The vibration of the whole beach began to become more and more obvious, and it seemed that something was going to happen.
