I don't know how long it has been.
After that disaster, Lynn used a lot of cells to seal the entrance to the cave and never opened it again.
Because through the transparent cells, it can see that the bubbles floating in the outer water have never been reduced, even if there are no green cells here.
Lynn has tried to let the cells evolve to resist these bubbles, but every cell that inhales bubbles will die immediately, and no one can survive and split the resistant cells.
Lin can only keep an eye on the entrance to the cave, observe the countless alternations of staying up late, and look forward to one day being able to return to the outer waters again.
But the bubbles that seem to never disappear have blocked Lynn... But the food in the cave that is called white cream is not endless.
These white creams that are constantly emerging on the wall of the cave began to slowly reduce the yield. This process was slow and long, and the impact on Lin began to be small, but with the increase of time, these white creams could not be supplied to Lin. The community, at the end of the day, didn't even go out at all.
When Lin finished the last white cream, the entire cave became an ordinary rock cave.
Lin had thought about digging down, but no matter how it was dug, it couldn't dig out the white paste. It can see, except for stones or stones, it seems that there is no white paste in the rock.
And in the last excavation, Lin even dug out a few bubbles, which made Lin have to stop digging.
Lin began by swallowing the living bacteria that had been alive, and then began to consume the fat cells in their community. These cells allowed Lin to stay up again for a long time.
But it didn't work, the bubbles outside did not decrease, but there was an increasing trend.
In the case of extinction, fat cells are also exhausted, and Lin begins to consume other cells that are not fat cells, that is, kill them and use their bodies to feed the remaining cells.
It’s not a good idea to eat your own cells to live. Lin’s extremely vigorous community began to shrink, and the number of rapid declines. After a while, Lin’s community has dropped from tens of millions to only several thousand.
The layers of cells that have been stuck in the cave have long since died, but their bodies are still stuck there, preventing bubbles from coming in.
Lynn understands that this is a slow death process.
Lin has never stopped letting some cells go out to let them evolve resistance to bubbles, but it has not been successful.
Can you wait to die?
... not like that.
At the last moment, Lynn gathered the remaining cells, making them a sphere, and the observer was at the center.
Lynn connects these cells together and hardens the outer layer.
The sphere is in the center of the cave, and Lin calls it ‘茧’. After ‘茧’ made it, the next move was made, which it called ‘sleeping’.
In the state of 'sleeping', the cells will appear completely still, and in this state, almost no food will be consumed. This is a state for long-term waiting. Lin believes that in this state, it will wait. I will not die for a long time.
However, after sleeping, Lin’s consciousness will fall into the darkness, which will completely interrupt the connection with the outside. It will not feel anything. I don’t know how long it has been, I don’t know the changes in the surrounding environment, I don’t know when. Restore consciousness.
Lin didn't think too much, it can only look forward to the future will be better.
Lin, who thought so, slowly fell into a deep sleep, the image that the observer saw was blurred in its consciousness, and finally fell into the darkness...
............
Time, in the endless passage, under the numerous nights and nights, there have been many changes in the surrounding world, but Lin did not realize that it is still in a state of sleep, and Lin did not customize himself when he woke up, because It does not know when it is safe.
However, in addition to Lin's consciousness, its cells have the ability to judge things around them.
This is also the meaning of Lynn, let the cells themselves judge whether they should wake up.
"........."
I don't know how long the time has passed, and Lin finally feels the information of waking up.
Is it successful? Is there no danger around?
The observer slowly shakes his body, and when Lin's consciousness is restored, the light is filled with its thoughts again.
The hardened outer layer of ‘茧’ also slowly peeled off when Lin’s wake up, and the cells hiding inside swam out again, touching the outside world.
At first glance, what Lin can see is the surrounding cave. It is still the same as it was when it was asleep, with almost no change.
However, Lynn saw the things that had made it fear - the bubbles were everywhere in the cave!
But Lin didn't think about running away, because since she can wake up, there must be a reason.
Lin looked at one of the cells being touched by the bubble, it was integrated into the cell as before, and then...
Nothing happened.
The bubbles didn't kill the cells as they used to, and Lynn was sure that the bubbles were what was called 'oxygen'. These things would have destroyed the nucleus and gave Lin a painful feeling, but now I don't feel anything.
Has it evolved?
That's right, evolution, Lin has resisted these bubbles, although I don't know how much time it took and how many cells died.
But as long as you can survive, it's all worth it.
So now, it is the time of resurrection!
Lin also found that there are some kinds of small cells on the wall around the cave. During the period of sleep, it is not surprising that other cells ran into the cave, and this is equivalent to free food for Lin. It is.
What is ‘free’? Quirky words.
Count it so much.
Lin feels very good now. The cells it retains are almost all basal cells, and there are some stinging cells and other cells. Although not many, Lin is very happy that they can survive.
Lin immediately let the basic cells begin to deform rapidly. Some of them are diggers, and some are acid injectors. After the deformation is completed, they quickly start hunting wild cells around.
These small cells have no counterattack ability, and soon became the food to celebrate Lin's resurrection.
In the process of hunting for cells, Lynn found some interesting situations, and those cells that inhale bubbles are not without anything.
Contrary to the original, those cells that inhale oxygen bubbles will become more rapid, speed, and strength, no matter what, almost a lot.
why? Are these cells not only resistant to oxygen, but can they be used to enhance themselves?
This is really... strange.
but why? Does oxygen contain some magical energy?
It is still not understandable now.
The cells that Lynn gained new power quickly killed the surrounding cells and quickly split, and Lynn decided to restore the previous community.
However, Lin didn't want to wait for the rabbit again this time. It decided to combine it into a form that can swim fast and actively chase and hunt in the water.
Wait... What is ‘strain’ and ‘rabbit’?
Why are there always some inexplicable words? Although the meaning of 'shoud' and 'to wait' is understood, what is 'strain' and 'rabbit'?
I don't want to have this strange word again!
Although Lin thinks so, it thinks that these words will still come out.
...............
After a small episode, Lin began to combine its cells.
Because of the help of oxygen, Lin found that these cells grew and split much faster than before, and the combination was even faster.
Lynn quickly combined a special thing.
The body that can help it travel.
