4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
183 Infection in the Dark Night
When the Shadow Monster hunted, Lynn's Reaper had arrived nearby. After the Shadow Monster attacked the Land Shark, the Reaper flew sideways into the jungle, and the first pair of bladed wings crossed directly The shadow monster's back, but not deep, only left a scar covered with blood.
"Ga ..."
The Shadow Monster screamed, rushing into the jungle, hiding in the intricate twisted trunk, and staring closely at the sky.
The pilot quietly followed behind the shadow monster, and Lin could feel its pain ... and her doubts.
Yes, Lin found the Shadow Monster confused, and it was probably thinking: why the reaper would find it, this action should be very secretive.
The reaper now flies once again into the night sky and makes a quick dive again to the location of the shadow monster!
The Shadow Monster can clearly see the reaper's shimmering figure under the starlight, but it has not avoided it. It may think that the complicated branches can protect it.
Obviously, that is impossible.
The speed of the reaper suddenly increased at the moment of the dive. The bladed wings easily cut all the branches into two pieces. In less than half a second, the reaper rushed from a height of tens of meters to the shadow monster. Around.
This time, it was far more than scratching, and the bladed wings crossed the shadow monster's body, cutting its body into two pieces together with the branches standing under its feet.
The shadow monster that broke into two pieces fell to the ground, and because the harvester couldn't stop his speed, he crashed into the dirt with one end. Fortunately, Lin slowed down before it hit, and now only the upper body sinks into the soil, soon You can crawl out.
What Lynn cared about was the Shadow Monster. The creature didn't eject any organs from the body's cross-section. It only shed some blood, and it quickly stopped.
This made Lin wonder how its body structure works, but even more strange is that the upper and lower body of the Shadow Monster actually crawled on the ground, and they crawled on the ground bit by bit towards the head. The reaper who went underground.
It ’s really tough. Lin has also seen some of these creatures. Even if the body is cut into two parts, it can maintain vitality and even regenerate. Some more primitive worms even cut it into thousands of segments. A segment can grow into a new individual.
Lin feels that this ability is useless. If the arms are cut off, it is better to transform it into a bomb or to wait there for recovery. It is better to put enough nutrients in the body before regenerating. It is better to put more muscles directly. Longer.
However, the Shadow Monster should not be reborn, but it has the ability to stop bleeding instantly, even if it is disconnected, it can still live for a while, when Lin sees the tail of the Shadow Monster ’s lower body standing up, it instantly hits the harvester ’s abdomen Then the Shadow Monster is like a suicide soldier who has completed the mission, lying on the ground without moving ...
At this time, Lin's harvester finally pulled his body out of the soil. The harvester's arthropod was very short. It was troublesome to do this. At the same time, Lin already knew what the Shadow Monster did to tie his tail on it. It went to the harvester. An egg was injected into the body.
It took only ten seconds for the egg, and the shell cracked. What appeared was not the normal creature Lin thought, but a very primitive thing-a virus.
Why is it a virus?Can the Inca Swarm make viruses?No, this is not very likely, maybe like Lynn, they have stored some kind of virus.
These viruses are types that Lin has never seen before. Once they touch the harvester's cells, they quickly burrow in, and then start to destroy the entire cell inside ...
That's the case ... So does the Shadow Monster inject the same eggs as the Landing Shark just now?Is it possible to gain the other party's ability by this method?The Inca swarm should be able to gain power by breaking down the cells of other organisms. Although the details are not well understood, the virus should not be possible.
Maybe they did not want to acquire the ability from the beginning, but simply spread the virus?
Viruses are the most primitive but most destructive creatures. They can kill multicellular organisms, no matter how powerful that organism is.
Of course, except Lin.
Lin actually found a problem recently, the virus will not move.
That's right, after they contacted the cell, it wasn't that they got into it by themselves. It was a reaction such as the cell's engulfing nutrients. The cell swallowed the virus itself. The virus can deceive the cell and make the cell think that they are ingestible.
However, although they cheated the cell, they couldn't cheat Lin.
As long as Lynn keeps the cells from engulfing, the virus is nothing, although sometimes Lin will not notice, so in the old way, the chitin wraps the infected cells, and the virus does not spread.
The virus is really not something to be concerned about for Lin, but it is different for other creatures.
Lin then immediately dispatched troops to find the land shark swimming downstream. Lin could not let this creature live.
Lin ’s base was nearby. Lin asked a large number of troops to search. As she approached the day, some of Lin ’s predators found land sharks downstream of the river, but it seemed too late.
What Lin found was that only one gill and mouth had a lot of blood corpses. Lin made the predator swallow some shark blood and found that there was a lot of virus mixed in the blood.
It feels a little troublesome ...
These viruses just happened to mix down in the river. Does it seem that the Inca swarm wanted to use this troublesome way to attack the twisted jungle?
Is this really useful?Lin doesn't think that these viruses can cause any effective damage to the twisted jungle. So many species have evolved resistance, but it is quite simple. Besides, a virus is absolutely impossible to be effective for all living things.
Lin hadn't used this method a long time ago, although those cells of the infected person remained.
It is better to use your own cells than to use these unstable things.
Viruses can't be controlled, this kind of thing is totally worthless, they will do nothing but kill cells constantly.
However, the necessary inspection still had to be done. Lynn let a pilot fly in the air around the body of the shark to check the virus content. Lin found that there was no air in the air. It seemed that it could not be airborne. Really used to ...
Wait ... what is that?
It is still night, and the flying pilots in the sky suddenly saw that in the starry sky under the sky, there is a strange round sphere. This sphere is larger and radiates the same light. Conspicuous.
"Month, coming soon." Lynn's words suddenly appeared in Lin's thoughts.
