Vol 2 Chapter 7: internal

In the eyes of Lin, there are bright red particles everywhere, which are mixed with blue debris to form a unique landscape.
This is what Lie has seen in the troops of the Shield worm. Everything here has become a drifting piece. The blue cells that make up the esophagus, the pipe, or other organs in the original Shield worm are invaded by viruses, and then The core to the outer membrane are completely destroyed by the virus, because the immune cells are blocked by Lin, leading to unlimited growth of the virus. It is estimated that there is only a pile of cell debris left in the body of the round shield worm.
The only remaining troops in Lin slowly swim in the environment where the cells and viruses are floating. Almost every one of them is dyed bright red by the virus. Looking at the horror here, there are many in Lin’s thoughts. idea.
Fear, restlessness, doubt, but no joy of victory.
What is the virus?
According to what she knows now, the virus is a weird creature that does not split itself, does not eat, but drifts with the water. If it touches the cell, it penetrates its outer membrane and uses this cell for itself. The division proliferates and subsequently destroys the entire cell.
Then just like this, make more viruses and infect more cells...
Their purpose is to kill all the cells? Viruses don't limit themselves, they just endlessly increase the amount and then destroy everything.
When all the cells that can kill are killed, they will die because of lack of food. Only a few viruses can survive, and then spread further along the water to infect other cells.
The same is true of these bright red viruses, which are killing the number of cells in the round shield worms, but this also causes most viruses to find cell infections, and they will die if they are not infected for a while.
Kill all the killers and wait for death. Is this the so-called virus? What is the meaning of their existence?
However, one of these characteristics of the red virus is that it can be carried on the cells of Lin and does not destroy it. Lin does not know what the reason is.
Lynn suddenly discovered that it does not know what its meaning is, and does it evolve?
This seems to be a question worth pondering, but Lin still feels that she is not in that free time.
Lin's aircraft carrier is undergoing repairs. The cells at the wounds that have been torn by the round shield worms begin to split. Lin also concentrates the cells that were left outside and did not enter the Shield's mouth and some large devourers. The body of the Shield worm, Lin plans to study well and eat the monster that has caused him huge losses.
The body of the Shield worm is on the ice not far from the aircraft carrier, but the ice has not melted, otherwise its body may attract other cells.
Lin first let the devourers bite off the joints on the worm's limbs. He wants to try to get these joints down.
Then Lynn let 100,000 cells form the expedition team and swim into the mouth of the round shield worm. The original esophagus is gone, and the rest is only the cell debris floating around.
The incoming expedition team soon merged with the group of almost red-hot troops, and the number of them was only tens of thousands.
Although I feel a little wasteful, Lin still has to deal with them, so that there will be strange things in the cells of these cells, and Lin will never let more than ten infected people.
After all, the virus is too horrible, and it is still a kind of thing that harms the enemy. After they destroy the cells in the Shield worm, Lin can hardly find any available food.
Maybe you shouldn't use a virus to attack? But this can only run the round shield worm at most, and it is impossible to kill it, but is it not cost-effective to do so? Only by exploring the whole worm can you know.
Lin first let the troops explore for a while in the original esophagus. It is very spacious. Lin believes that it should be the 'circle shield' of the head of the Shield worm. The range of the light bulb can not be enough. Light up the entire space.
There are only cell debris and viruses around them. These viruses are dead. Although they can't be seen, Lin will not get in even if they put them on them.
Lin’s expedition team continued to move deeper. It tried to find out if there was anything that was not destroyed by the virus. If the cells in the Shield worm were completely destroyed by the virus, then the battle was really It’s not worth it.
what is that?
Lin suddenly saw that a thick tentacles floated in the bodies of countless cells and viruses.
This tentacles is obviously also composed of cells. It seems that because the virus attack is broken, Lin can see that the center of the center is hollow and can accommodate many cells.
By the way, this tentacle is actually a conduit for cells to pass through, as seen in the joint wounds of the former shield worm.
I don't know why this pipeline is not damaged by the virus as a whole. Just broken it?
Lin let a devourer swim to the fracture of the pipe and look inside, and found that there are still a lot of blue cells inside, but it seems that they are all dead and lying on the wall, only occasionally see one or two shaking a bit.
No matter how they survived the virus attack, it means that Lin still has spoils.
Lin let some small phagosomes and basal cells remain, the phagosome enters the tube to swallow blue cells, and the basal cells form a small circular structure directly here, which is mainly used to break down and digest food.
Then, the remaining team of Lin went along this pipe deeper into the body of the round shield worm. It seems that the deeper it goes, the more things that are not destroyed by the virus.
In the process of going deeper, Lin found a pipe that was also broken, and its interior was filled with blue cells.
Lin also left some cells here and continued to deepen. Soon, it met more pipes.
The third, the fourth... The deeper, Lin found that there are more pipes, which are criss-crossed in this space. They are different in thickness, and some pipes have a lot of points that do not know where to extend. Oh, and the more you divide, the thinner the pipe.
Although these pipes are somewhat different, they all have one thing in common, that is, the thickest parts all extend together to one wing.
And if you just tear a pipe open, there will be a lot of blue cell corpses flowing out, it seems to be dead, but this is obviously not a virus.
It’s strange, how do they avoid the virus attack? There is no cell debris in the water here. Maybe the virus has not spread here?
Maybe the virus only ruined the cells in the head part of the round shield worm, but if so, why are the cells in this deep part almost dead?
Although Lin's aircraft carrier was torn by half by the Shield worm, the remaining half is still alive and well, without any influence. And the worm just died after a part of the cell died.
More and more doubtful Lin walked deeper along these pipes, and finally, a huge object appeared before Lin's expedition team.
what is this?
This elliptical object is very large, probably similar to the pliers on the worm's limbs. It is also a combination of cells. All the surrounding ends of the pipe are connected to the object, as if it were a major organ structure. .
What is this thing used for?
When Lin thought about it, suddenly this thing moved. It exploded quickly and then shrank back.
what happened?
Lynn let the cells go back, but left a devourer staring at the thing, and Lynn was very curious about this thing.
However, Lin waited for a long time, but this thing has not been moved.
... forget it.
Eat it.
