4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 39 The Desert at Night
Lin's wound has been repaired, but it still stays in the dark darkness, seeing nothing.
This time the darkness lasted for a particularly long time, just as Lin had noticed that the daytime also lasted for a particularly long time, the duration of both the light and the darkness was elongated at the same time.
I don't know why?
Too many questions to think about ... Even a huge colony of so many cells cannot be understood as if it could not resist the previous water flow.
Lin needs to be bigger and stronger to face these unsolved mysteries.
If it was Lin once, it would be motionless in the water, waiting for the darkness to recede ...
But this time is different, it wants to make itself no longer passive in the dark, and does not know how long it will last, so it needs something that shines.
Lin not only had flash bursts, she had eaten a jellyfish before, and she found that some cells in the jellyfish were full-time glowing. The membrane of these cells was transparent, and there was a flashing powder in the membrane, while the flash burst was in After eating photobacteria, there is a kind of luminous branch structure in the body, the two are not the same.
Either way, Lynn can let the flash burst eat these powders and become brighter, and then combine to create a luminous structure that is enough for the aircraft carrier to see the surroundings.
In fact, the flash ball will not explode, so Lin feels better to call it "light ball" directly.
It is quite easy to do this. Lynn splits out more light spheres and combines them into a large spherical structure, connected by a tentacle, and named after the new word 'lantern' in her thoughts.
The "lantern" is located on the head of the aircraft carrier. There are several blood vessels inside it to supply nutrients. The light it emits can only illuminate a small area in front of the aircraft carrier. Although it is not comparable to the daylight, Lin can at least move.
Lin went downstream, intending to join the guards on the beach.
Swimming for the first time in the night, Lin was the first time. Under the light of the lantern, all kinds of strange debris, single cells, and some debris of some living creatures drifted around. Lin ’s eye tentacles After the transformation, in addition to the largest eyeball, there are six eyeballs of different sizes around it, used to observe things of different sizes, Lin will not miss anything, even if a virus floats over it, it can be seen clearly.
After swimming for a while in the depths, Lin saw more and more debris in the water, and many cells appeared in it. Although they had no eyes, they seemed to feel the light from Lin and moved closer to the "lantern" come.
By the way, the light will attract other creatures, maybe the jellyfish shines and hunts like this.
Lin released the devourer and ate up the cells gathered on the lantern and went on. Soon, it reached the beach on the seabed.
When the light of the lantern touched the gravel, Lin saw many small creatures gather on the sand at this moment. They are not like the single cells that are phototaxis. As soon as they are illuminated, they immediately swim in all directions and disappear in an instant. In the dark.
Are these all multicellular organisms?Why are you afraid of light?
The light was dim, and Lin didn't see how they looked, but it felt a bit like a round shield worm, but it was very small, almost like a starfish.
Lin swims slowly on the beach. It finds that there are more creatures in the night than in the day. Especially in the beach, there are cells floating everywhere. They are a little afraid of light and some are happy. Lin has made a small lantern with a headband. The devourer of the world will then release them to hunt for food, and Lynn does not want to waste these foods.
Lin swam while eating, and it felt close to the position of the guardian where it merged with it. Suddenly, she found something strange in front of her.
The whole creature is like a huge black tentacle. The body is about the same length as the aircraft carrier. The body has a threaded ring structure. It creeps on the sand, as if it is feeding on cells.
Lynn had never seen this creature in the daytime, so she named it 'Dark Worm'.
Lin is observing this creature. The light range of the lantern just illuminates its whole body. Lin is judging, what is the strength of this 'dark bug'? Is it a threat?Still a food?
The dark worm just wriggled on the sand at a very slow speed. Lynn slowly moved closer and closer. When Lin swam above the dark worm, it suddenly twisted his body and rushed forward at a very fast speed. .
Lin immediately swayed the carrier's tentacles and followed, chasing it in the dim light. Lin found that the dark worm seemed to be chasing another creature.
Lin lifted the lantern and shone the light farther. It saw a small creature with a round body and arthropods on both sides. It ran fast in front of the dark worm, but the movement was not fast enough.
The dark worm's head spread open, biting the target at once, Lynn swam in front of it, and saw the dark worm's head is a mouth, and covered with a circle of inwardly bent fangs, it was creeping the muscles on the mouth , Use fangs to squeeze the captured creatures.
Lin looked at it for a while, and hit it with a hammer on the head of the dark worm being swallowed.
The painful dark worm shook his head violently and spit out the prey in his mouth. The little arthropod seemed to have not been injured, and it ran away in an instant.
Lin didn't care, its target was the Dark Worm.
Although the Dark Worm had no eyes, he knew that Lin was the victim, so he twisted his body and rushed towards Lin.
Snapped.
Another hammer hit directly on the head of the dark worm, which struck it hard on the beach, and at the same time, Lin opened the cortex of the aircraft carrier and released a new group of 'arms'.
Lin learned the principle of starfish injection teeth and came up with a new type of creature. Its name is "injector". This creature has a streamlined body, a long needle with a hole in the head, and a water spout behind it. It can accelerate out quickly. The long needle is inserted into the opponent's body, and then it can immediately contract the body and eject the things in the body.
What the injector shot was a virus-like cell. Lin called it a "proliferator". It was a new type of cell that Lyn had specially evolved from cone cells. Each surgeon's mouth was a The needle-shaped hollow tube is not used to spray anything, but to pierce each other's cells and suck them dry.
As long as they get enough nutrients, they will divide immediately, many times faster than normal cells divide, and they already have full nutrients before being injected into the other party. Even if they don't suck, they can instantly increase the number of times.
The injectors can swim at high speed in a short period of time. They rush to the body of the dark worm, insert the skin of the dark worm with a needle, and inject tens of thousands of surgers inward.
The surges have no eyesight, Lin directly lets them attack at will, and when they encounter any soft things, they immediately insert the needle, then suck it, and then split. They continue to cycle this process. Although the split speed is not as fast as the real virus, it is also very fast .
Attacked by a large number of injectors, the dark worm began to twist its body in pain and rolled up on the beach. It seems that its body has been destroyed in many places.
At this time, Lin let the aircraft carrier swim past, and hit the head of the dark bug severely.
Even immune cells are useless because Lynn ’s attack is a combination of inside and outside.
The dark worm quickly stopped completely.
At this time, Lin let the surges stop splitting, and they all die automatically. The wreckage left by them will be recycled without waste.
Next, it's time for a big meal.
Lynn let the devourers enter from the mouth of the dark worm, and began the task of completely converting it into her own nutrients, of course, including studying the structure of this creature.
The dark worm has a structure that seems to be an esophagus from head to tail. Eight fangs curved inwards near the head, a large amount of gravel piled in the center of the esophagus, and some other biological hard shells.
The surge mainly attacked the tail, where a large patch of cell damage appeared, and the esophagus of the tail also rotted.
The blood vessels of the dark worm are attached to the outer layer of the esophagus circle by circle. The heart has many from beginning to end, but it is very small, much like a lump on the blood vessel. In addition, it has a larger area near the head Ganglia.
In addition, it is the outer muscle structure of the whole body, which is definitely used to quickly twist the body.
It has no learning value, just food.
After the conclusion, Lin immediately let the devourers eat. This dark worm can provide it with a lot of nutrients.
Suddenly, a creature entered Lin's lantern range.
This is the arthropod chased by the dark worm before?
Lin saw this creature running quickly towards the aircraft carrier. Just as Lin was about to raise her hammer to knock it flat, she suddenly saw what large creature was chasing behind this creature.
