Chapter 5: Acidist

The cone cells damaged by the lysate split, and this time the cells are as long as the cones, but the color is darker.
It seems that these cells will have a darker color as long as they have the resistance to the solution.
Then, Lin let the cone-shaped cells devour the lytic solution of the strange cells.
Because the anterior segment becomes tapered and hardens, it is difficult to swallow a large piece like the original cell. It can only open a small hole at the front end of the cone, and the speed of eating food is quite slow.
Can you replace it with other fast-growing cells?
How to replace?
Lin flashed these two thoughts in an instant, but unfortunately it was not mentioned.
This happens when Lin is not enough, and the only way to increase his intelligence is to expand his community.
Lynn let this new, resistant cone-shaped cell eat a lot of lysate, but there is no sign of damage, it seems that this is the most resistant cell so far.
Then, let it go to the hole you just ate and use the solution to melt the harder food.
Or……
Lynn looked at the remaining strange cells, and it suddenly had the idea of ​​killing them, which might split more powerful cones.
forget it.
In Lin’s thoughts, it seems that a new word called ‘sympathy’ has emerged.
Lin returned to the depths of the cave with new cones. After reaching the deepest and hardest part of the food, Lin let the cones spray the dissolved solution. As sure, the harder foods were easily dissolved. Lost.
Although the dissolved food is mixed with the lysate, it can still be eaten by other ordinary cells, causing damage at most, and it is not fatal. With this method, Lin can make these damaged cells split with the resistance of the solution. Cell.
Lin also found an interesting place, this is a cone of cells that eat a lot of lysate, it will show green when eating full solution, and after the body's solution is spit, the color of the body surface will also change. It faded, but after a while, after eating something, its body began to slowly show green.
Lin tried it, and sure enough, this cone of cells sprayed out the solution again.
what does this mean? Can this cell produce its own solution? Can it use the ability of strange cells?
Is this also... evolution?
Lin doesn't understand how the organization works.
However, if the wisdom is high, you will know.
So, Lynn gave this new cone cell a name.
"Sour person"
With the help of the acid-sinkers, Lin's cell communities continued to dig and dig deep into the community, constantly expanding the community. Under the constant division of the cells, Lin's community has reached 331 cells.
There are ten acid injectors, three hundred diggers, twenty cones, and one observer with vision. Under the constant evolution of evolution, there are almost no original basal cells. It is.
Lynn found a problem.
When the community is still small, it can increase a lot of intelligence as long as it is increased in a small amount, but the community is getting bigger and the added intelligence is slower.
If you use numbers to explain, that is to say, only 20 cells of the community, each additional cell can get 1 point of intelligence, and 200 cells of the community, then add 10 cells to get a little intelligence.
why?
Lin often feels that she lacks intelligence. Now it is the same. It doesn't know why.
But Lin’s biggest concern now is that it has dig through this huge amount of food.
After the last layer of white food in the front was dissolved by the acidifier, Lin’s vision once again saw the boundless blue.
It is water again.
What is the end of this piece of water?
Lin originally thought that there was something interesting under this huge food, but it was disappointing.
Only continue to eat, eat this piece of food and talk about it.
Just as Lin looked at this piece of ocean, suddenly something rushed into its field of vision.
This thing is probably only one hundredth of the size of Lynn's cells, but still can't escape its sight.
The gray color, the long tail, has a head structure like a sphere.
what is this?
Lynn found that this thing approached a diver's cell along the water.
It first circumvents the digger with a serrated, harder part, but wraps around the fragile cell membrane behind it, and then ties it with a long tail.
Curious drove Lin to watch and did nothing.
This thing uses a tail to make a small hole in the cell membrane, and then the spherical head that only sees this thing slowly shrinks and becomes smaller, and only some gray liquids are injected into the cells through the tail.
pain.
Lin's first reaction was pain, as if she had been injected with a weird liquid, and the diggers had a severe painful reaction.
Yes, I know what this thing is.
The size of the community now makes it smart enough to understand the weird stuff that is injected on its cells.
This thing is called ... virus, right, the thorn ball that I encountered before is also a virus, but they are not the same kind.
Unlike viruses and cells, it is a weird thing, but Lynn has no way to understand their details.
The tail of the virus is hollow, and after it is tied to the cell, it can inject some liquid from the head into the cell.
Lynn still doesn't know what these liquids are, but it's obviously not a good thing. After all, it makes it very painful, and Lynn knows how to describe the phenomenon.
"infection."
Lin is currently aware that after the virus infects the cells, it causes persistent pain, eventually killing the cells, and then releasing a large amount of virus on the cells of the cells.
It is a very dangerous and difficult thing.
But this time, Lynn will not run away.
Under the command of Lin, ten sorrowers surrounded the digger cells infected with the virus.
After this period of evolution, the acid injectors have a small hole in the sawtooth tip on the original tapered head, which can spray a large amount of the solution at one time.
It can be seen from the outside that the original transparent cell membrane of the infected diggers began to dim, and it seemed to be filled with strange white silk and liquid, and it made Lin feel very painful and began to slowly control the cell. It is.
But Lin still has no action, it wants to see the whole process.
After a while, Lin has completely lost control of the diggers' cells. This cell is also dead, and the whole is murky.
At this point, the cell membrane began to crack open some gaps.
The virus didn't make the cells burst like the previous spiky balls, but these small gaps began to grow more and more, and then the viruses flooded out of the cracks!
This time, the number is about one hundred.
However, at the moment of the emergence of these viruses, a huge amount of acid liquid shrouded them, and the amount of the solution sprayed by the acid injectors was extremely large. Even if the number of these viruses was increased ten times, they could not escape. Go out.
The virus that touched the acid instantly broke into pieces, and these little things were very fragile.
The acid injector is still spraying, until the corpse of the digger behind is also dissolved, and Lin is willing to give up.
The joy of victory?
This time, the feeling was not as strong as defeating the strange cells, but Lin still felt it.
However, it is true that there is nothing to please with the victory of some weak viruses.
Lynn, its goal is a never-ending evolutionary path.
