Chapter 15: Infected person

Lin has been observing the infected, weird cells. Although the membrane of this cell has become blurred, if you look closely, it seems that you can see some circular things floating in the cells.
Are those viruses? But why are they not killing cells? Just staying in it?
Lynn is very curious, is it supposed to let this cell live, or kill it to avoid any danger?
Lin doesn't want to kill it directly. Lin wants to study how this virus works. Maybe it has value?
And the next aggression will soon be carried out, and Lin intends to attack the cells of the nearby large community again, and finally control the whole rock.
If the virus has some useful features, such as damage to other cells without harming Lynn's cells, then Lynn can use the virus to hit other cells.
So Lynn decided to leave it to try, but the acidist will always be watching and watching, and Lynn must also watch how it differs from ordinary cells.
Under preliminary observation, this infected cell can still eat like ordinary cells, and Lin does not have any inappropriate feelings about its control.
However, it seems that there will be some problems when the splitting occurs. The cells that have been split by this cell are also infected, that is, the whole body is bright red, and its division process will produce some viruses, but not many, only a few.
These viruses appear to be small in shape, and the color is as bright as the infected cells, only one-hundredth of the size of the cells.
Lin killed these viruses that had been split up with the acidifier, and it didn't want their entire community to turn red.
However, it seems that these viruses pose no major threat to Lin's community.
Then it is time to prepare for the next war.
The number of cell communities in Lin has exceeded that of any cell here, and the huge community of 50% of the rock allows Lin to easily destroy other cells living here.
But Lin is not dealing with the general cell community this time.
Lin’s vision is far away. On the rock, there is a group of cells called itchyella. This group of cells is very strange. They are like filaments that grow on the ground and are densely spread over large areas. It is like putting a layer of fluff on the rock.
These filaments will wrap the food out of the crack, or capture other cells that are close, roll them up, tighten them, and squeeze the other into pieces using pure winding power.
The name of the algae is not very satisfactory, but it does not think of other good names... ah? Maybe it’s more appropriate to call ‘death algae’?
Why do I care about this? Lin is surprised by her own thoughts. In fact, when the community is getting bigger and bigger, and Lin's thoughts are getting wider and wider, Lin always has some strange ideas.
In short, the algae are very peculiar things. Their filamentous body and strong winding ability can not attack the diggers and cones, but the biggest disadvantage of the algae is that they will not move, so Lin intends to use the notes directly. Acidists clean them up.
The algae are densely covered with rock surface, and it is difficult for Lin to estimate their number, but by area, they probably only occupy 10% of the whole rock.
The solution of Lin's acid-sinker is obviously enough to cover such a large area.
Lin directly let the acid-splitters move out, swimming over the top of the algae, and sprinkling the solution, killing the group of hairy algae in large swaths.
Because the algae can not move, Lynn is not afraid that they will run away with injuries, and then split to evolve a new individual with resistance to the solution.
This seems to be a one-sided slaughter. These melons, no matter how they are sprayed by the solution, can't pull up the body from the rocks to attack the acid-sinkers at high places.
Although I was a bit curious about how the algae worms usually split and multiply, but Lin has no plans to show mercy. Soon, Lin almost cleaned them up. The algae rotted and collapsed in a large piece of lysate, and only one left. The small area did not receive the influence of the solution.
In general, Lin will destroy them directly, but Lynn suddenly feels that it is too boring, so I want to try new things.
Lynn let the basal cells infected with the virus, bright red and bright red, deliberately entangled with these remaining algae to see what happens.
The algae worms, like the usual prey, have entangled the infected cells close to them, and the strong entanglement makes Lin feel a novel sense of pain.
Finally, the infected cells were squirmed under the entanglement of the larvae, and a large number of red virions and cell debris were scattered in the water.
These viruses can be drilled into the body of the hairy algae as long as they are in contact. Like the infected cells, the whole filamentous body of the algae is dyed red. After a while, all the algae in the surrounding are Reddened.
However, the red-sucking dinoflagellates are not as safe as Lynn's cells. They seem to be painfully twisted, and then they hang down without life, and then the dead cockroaches slowly begin to crack. A large number of viruses emerged from it.
This is a clear manifestation of a fatal infection by a virus.
But why these viruses can kill the hairy algae, but they have no effect on Lynn's cells.
Lynn didn't know the secret, but it was obviously a good thing.
Now, all these remaining algae are dead due to viral infections. A large amount of virus released from the body floats in the water, dyeing the water into a bright red.
Lynn let some basic cells swim and let them swim in the virus group and recycle the virus into the body.
Sure enough, although Lynn’s cells will be infected with red, they have no problems, they will not affect the action, and they will not be fatal.
Lynn called these cells infected, and a new kind of cell was born, and it has powerful destructive power.
If you make good use of it, maybe the virus can easily destroy a huge number of cell populations, but it also has problems.
The biggest problem is that the cells killed by the virus cannot be eaten.
Like the cockroaches, they are left with some outer membrane fragments, and there are few useful parts left.
Even if it is corroded and festered by acid, most of it can be eaten.
And those infected people, even if they don't seem to have problems now, don't know if there will be problems in the future.
Then, Lin also did some tests on the infected person. The infected person can indeed eat ordinary food, but the speed of action will become slow, and most of the food that is eaten is actually owned by the virus, because the infected person eats, The rate of growth and division is obviously much slower than other uninfected cells.
Moreover, infected people can no longer evolve into other types like the original basic cells.
Such an infected person can be said to be a tool of the virus. The infected person can only carry the virus all the time, and then let the virus spread around with cell division and the like.
Lin knows that it is not a good thing that the virus does not harm its cells, but just want to find a host to use as a tool to continue to breed.
Therefore, Lin will not let the number of infected people be too much. Only a small part of the infected cells that have just absorbed the virus will be left behind, and most of them will be disposed of by Lin to the huge cracks that spray hot water.
Lin has left ten infected people. If there is any crisis in the future, Lynn can use this virus as the last trick.
However, what Linde will face next is not a life rival.
Lin has long noticed that a small group of cells that often appear in this rocky area to find food no longer appear.
But that is not why Linba has occupied most of the region, but for other reasons.
Touch-enhanced Lin, its entire cell group can clearly feel... the water is shaking,
