4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"I have been caught here for many days. They occasionally give us some food, but most of the time they don't care about us."
"We can only stay in small bubbles, but I am not frustrated, I am watching their actions very carefully."
"According to my observation, most of them have almost no intelligence, only a few intelligent individuals ... the average individual does not think, they only follow the instructions of intelligent individuals."
"It is those intelligent individuals who are commanding a large number of troops to continuously attack us and capture us ..."
"And when there is no command, the unintelligent individual will only wander and move mechanically. I think this is what I should use."
"... Although I thought that way, I didn't find a chance to escape. I stayed here for too long, and even saw them for the purpose of capturing us."
"Their purpose is to make us a part of them, to become the same ... mummy."
"They caught us one by one and transformed them into their kind. I am no exception. I was caught by them."
"But maybe they didn't expect it. I brought some special equipment."
"After they took me away from the bubble, I figured out a way to use equipment to escape their control and escape their valley."
"When I returned to the research station, I found that it had been destroyed long ago, and all my colleagues were arrested."
"But I still stay here, and here ... observe the changes in me."
………………
"I don't know who can find ..."
Lin was looking at a ... screaming creature.
Here is a research station.
In this abandoned research station, scattered objects can be seen everywhere, overturned vehicles and cracked houses.
Lin is now standing in a house with a device for recording images ...
In the three-dimensional image, it can be seen that a Shirmin fell to the ground in pain, and while making a miserable sound, he tried to climb to the side table.
It holds a small bottle with a glowing liquid in its hand, and it seems to want to put the bottle on the table.
However, it didn't do it in the end, it fell to the ground, and the bottle rolled to the side.
Turning her head, Lin could see the dead Ershimin beside him ... now it has become a skeleton.
But the bottle it dropped at that time was not here. Maybe it was taken by someone, maybe it was those corpses.
The only thing left is the image and bones recorded by the Ershi people.
From the video, Lin can learn a lot.
It is what Lin knows now, the only Ershi people who escaped after being captured by the "corpse", except for it, there are no Ershi people ... including the two Lin and Bilu intended to save Can't escape.
But those two are mainly cold dead, because after the car drives out of the valley, the surrounding temperature becomes too low, and their bubbles have no insulation function at all, so ... they can't last long.
Although, Lin felt that even if they were not cold, they would not be able to support it for too long.
Because, there are some other reasons.
And those corpses did not chase them out, maybe they felt unnecessary, or ... their intelligence level was not very high.
Because, it is mentioned in the record of the only escaped Ershi.
There are quite a few studies on this corpse, and most of the studies were conducted when it was captured.
"Class Veronica! Communication is back!"
While Lin was listening to the recording, Bilu suddenly ran in from the outside and said, "It seems that I can already contact the exhibition hall!"
"Look at this first." Lin continued to look at the information on the video.
The following information is what this Ershimin said ... the transformation process.
This is it ... the most valuable research here.
………………
"I found them. In my blood, these things are not ordinary creatures, nor carbon-based creatures ... nor native species, they are a brand new microorganism."
"On the first day, they were quite active in my blood ... and killed my cells."
"The next day, the number of them is increasing, and I can't kill them. I can't do it with the current equipment."
"The third day ... I felt like they were talking in my head, they seemed to be getting into the brain."
"Fourth day ... my body ... shrinking ..."
"..."
... Although the voice recording is relatively vague, Lin found that the text in it was quite detailed.
In short, after it was caught and transformed by the corpse, after it escaped on the way, it found that it was infected with a special group of microorganisms.
These microorganisms grow in it and kill its cells ... even drying out the water in it.
Later, it was unable to make a sound, but it was still recording the whole process by hand
Under the influence of this group of microorganisms, its body slowly transformed into a 'corpse'.
The whole process is that the microorganism slowly kills its cells, changes its bone structure, and absorbs its moisture.
However, when doing these, the microbe will strengthen its skin and skeleton at the same time.
In the end, the entire body shrank less than one meter in height, and became a shriveled creature like the corpse.
Actually it is not recorded to the end.
Because the whole process has developed to half, it is almost dead.
So the process behind it is speculative, but it should be the same thing, it is slowly transforming.
When it feels that it is dying, it collects a part of the corpse microorganisms from its body, these microorganisms are considered by it to be the 'most critical'.
At the same time, it swallowed a ... highly toxic substance.
It feels that if it commits suicide before it completely corpses, it may not become corpses.
Its idea seemed to succeed, because its body can now be seen.
It didn't become a corpse but died here, but the microbe bottle it left was missing.
Lin can only see the data it recorded and the last things it did through its video.
So, what exactly is this microorganism?
They are not cellular organisms. What they mainly do is to dry the Ershimin, and then reconstruct mechanical bones in it to make it move again.
This process seems to depend on whether the Ershi people are alive, and if not, they cannot be completed.
There is also dream energy ...
Although this Dalshmin was not found, Lin felt that the microorganisms would produce dream energy in the process of drying the Dalshmin.
Some corpses also carry some dream energy, so they can feel a lot in their valleys.
