Vol 2 Chapter 13: Storm eve

Lynn stayed quietly on the beach and observed the strange scene.

First, the leaf worms squirt a lot of cells from their bodies, and then the cells fuse together in a wonderful way. Then, a group of disc creatures with long tentacles are attracted by these cells.

Lynn is puzzled. Why are leaf-shaped insects spraying so many cells into the water? Isn't this going to be very expensive? There are still so many strange creatures.

Those strange flying-shaped creatures, Lin did not want to provoke them, but intended to observe the situation first. After preliminary calculations, these disc-shaped creatures should be well treated. Their disc bodies must be soft, and Lin’s body can Rapid expansion and contraction to swim, although the tentacles are many but very thin, the strength is certainly not great.

But the number of these creatures is very large. They swim in the cell population sprayed by the leaf-shaped worms. The tentacles of the body keep stretching and shrinking, seemingly involved in the prey.

‘Jellyfish’.

The new words appearing in the thoughts indicate that these creatures with tentacles are like this, and they are not satisfied, but Lyne doesn't have to think about new names.

Lin is trying not to attack the jellyfish. If they are well dealt with, there will be another source of food.

At this time, Lynn suddenly noticed that the surrounding light slowly dimmed.

This is... night? Are you coming? Lin has almost forgotten the night, because it has never been to the night after the oxygen crisis woke up, but indeed, this night is much slower than it used to be. I don't know why?

It’s not a good thing to get into the dark. The flashing ball is too small to illuminate the entire aircraft carrier, and because there has never been a night, Lynn has not made too many flash blasters.

Lin first asked the breeder who raised the green cells to return to the carrier, and then let the guards and the aircraft carrier stay together on the sand, ready to face the darkness.

As the surrounding light dimmed, the floating jellyfish slowly showed blue light, and they even illuminated the water when it was getting darker.

Very beautiful... Do they have any connection with photobacterium?

The word "beauty" has not appeared in Lin's thoughts for a long time. It looks at the glittering jellyfish group floating in the water. Suddenly it sees a jellyfish floating over, approaching the position of the aircraft carrier and the guards.

Do you want to attack?

The flashing jellyfish moved in the sand in front of Lin, and it would be quite easy for Lin to attack it. Lin’s only concern now is that if the attack is the only one, will the jellyfish above attack?

Just when Lin hesitated, the jellyfish suddenly changed direction and flew over, and it didn’t look like it was attacking, but slowly swam past Lin’s aircraft carrier, but its tentacles gently wiped the aircraft carrier’s A small piece of cortex.

it hurts!

Lin feels that the cortex that has been touched has a strong pain that spreads between the cells and even begins to enter the blood vessels of the linked cortex!

Is this a virus? No, it seems different? It should be... venom? In short, you must interrupt urgently!

Lin made a strong thought that all the cells around the pain point died, the heart stopped beating, and the invaded blood vessels also broke in an instant, preventing the venom from continuing deeper.

Lin didn't feel any pain anymore. Its emergency response was very good. Then Lin temporarily blocked the cross section of the blood vessel, and the heart began to recover. Then the devourer was sent to see the wounded area.

This is... stab cells?

The devourers found on the cortex that a large number of cells stick to the already necrotic cortex. They have a hole in the body. There is a thread in the hole, and the tip of the wire is acupuncture. These needles are inserted in the skin of Lin. On, it seems that they are injecting venom into it.

These venoms spread between cells according to the nutrient-sharing structure of the cells, but as long as the surrounding cells are stopped, they can't pass them.

Fortunately, it only hurts a small piece of cortical cells. This kind of small injury is easy to repair, but even if it continues to spread, these venoms will become more and more sparse, and in the end will become a level that cannot kill cells. After all, it is not a virus. Can continue to grow.

However, Lin is sure to kill the jellyfish.

Jellyfish is still nearby, there is no long-distance, let the guards try it first, and Lin wants to see if the resurrection of the former round shield worm is good, and if it is attacked by the other group, its hard shell can probably Protect it.

Thinking, Lin let the guards slowly climb over. When it climbed under the jellyfish, Lin found a problem.

The guardian couldn't hold the jellyfish floating in the water with pliers for the simple reason that its limbs could not bend upwards.

Oh, forget it, or do it directly.

Lin let the carrier swim to the target, and slammed it directly on the disc-shaped body of the jellyfish.

The struck jellyfish spewed a large bubble, and its body was also shot and flew out on the beach not far away.

Lin immediately let the guards rush up, grab the tentacles with pliers before the jellyfish swim again, and then press it up and tear the body apart.

Quite simple, and the jellyfish around them are as Lin thinks, without any action, they don't seem to know that there is a companion killed here, which means there should be no communication between them.

Lin released a large number of devourers, and Lin intended to look at the structure inside the jellyfish and eat it.

The devourers approached the jellyfish. Under careful observation, Lin found that their tentacles had dense holes, and each hole had a spiked cell. The intensity of the intimacy made Lin almost scared. If it is touched by a large number of tentacles, Lin may have to take off the entire carrier's cortex.

Can Lin use her own sting cells like this? However, Lynn's thorn cells are not as strong as penetrating power, much worse than jellyfish, so Lynn has not used them for a long time.

For the first time, Lynn encountered monomeric cells that could penetrate the carrier's cortex. Although they grew on multicellular organisms, it seems that the cortex has to be hardened again, like the guardian's carapace is completely no problem.

Jellyfish's internal structure is quite simple, there is no vascular structure, only some pockets, these pockets are also filled with tentacles with acupuncture cells, Lin found that these tentacles will also secrete the solution, it is estimated that these pockets are used for In addition to the decomposition of food, there is no complicated structure, and the super-complexity of the starfish is simply too wide.

But on the contrary, it is a simple jellyfish, and the creatures such as leaf worms are so much larger than the starfish. Why?

Is it only simple to grow bigger? But the round shield worm is also large and should be complicated.

............

In addition to the part of the thorny cell, the jellyfish was eaten by Lin, and the surrounding area was completely dark. In this water, except for the light of the jellyfish, the place was dark.

Lin pays close attention to the surroundings, but fortunately, no jellyfish has drifted over, it has repaired the cortical wounds, and some cells have swallowed a small amount of residual venom, trying to make them evolve resistant individuals.

The jellyfish seem to have eaten almost the cells that the leaf-shaped worms ejected. Lin found that the number of them began to slowly decrease, and many jellyfish swam far away.

Every time there is one jellyfish, the surrounding environment is dim. Until they all leave, Lin can't see any light and objects.

Pure darkness, it seems that I haven't felt it for a long time... It seems that I have to get a big combination of lights.

"Hey..."

Suddenly, there was an abnormal vibration in the water.

what is that?

Lin’s perception of the tentacles has been uploaded, and the fluctuations in the water have changed significantly. It feels like... there is something huge and shaking.

In the sway of the water, there are countless small vibrations. Lin knows that it should be the feeling that the gravel has been turned up. Is there a certain creature that has been drilled from the sand?

No, the surrounding sand is shaking!

Lin hesitated for a moment, and then let the aircraft carrier slowly swim upwards, but the guards who can't swim can only stay on the beach.

The guards have no eyes, but they have tentacles for detection, so they can also feel the vibration in the water.

The vibration of the entire beach began to become more and more obvious, and it seems that something is going to happen.
