Chapter 944 Familiarity

‘Bang! ’

The sound of underwater explosions always feels rather... dull.

Lin just launched a sneak attack on a group of underwater gel creatures. This group of creatures included a three-meter piece of meat and a large group of... ten-centimeter small meat balls.

The moment Lin made the surprise attack, all the meatballs scattered and escaped, and the piece of meat rushed forward and collided with the mechanical octopus.

Then it blew up.

The impact of its explosion caused the mechanical octopus to retreat backwards. Although there were cracks on the shell, there was nothing serious overall.

The exploded meat fell apart and turned into a lot of debris that sank to the bottom of the water. Interestingly, Lin noticed that these debris were not absorbed by the underwater seedlings, but stuck to the ground and changed their shapes. Became a new...seedling.

Mixed with other seedlings underwater, they are indeed the same kind of creatures.

But Lin mainly wanted to find out what they were doing here. Lin now felt that they were not simply alien wild creatures, but had some strange purpose.

Mainly, at the moment when the group of meat balls dispersed, Lin's octopus caught two more meat balls.

When Lin locked the three meat balls together, Lin noticed that something special had happened to them. Their... brains had grown some kind of structure.

The brains of meatballs are cellular, but it's not the cellular structure that controls their growth.

To put it simply, they do not use the "nucleus" of ordinary cellular organisms to grow and adjust their bodies. They mainly use other things as the information source for growth.

The structural structures in their cells assemble their bodies by reading other special information sources. This is the main way this group of 'gel-like organisms' grows.

The reason they are called 'pseudo' is that they are not exactly the same as the gelatinous creatures, but they are very close.

This special information source is scattered in some special parts of their bodies. Although there are many, they are not found in almost all cells like the cell nucleus.

Because it is composed of a completely non-cellular special structure, Lin is not sure how it works, but... when Lin put the three meat balls together, she found that the information sources in their bodies sent out some New... directives.

These instructions caused their brains to begin to grow rapidly.

One of them stopped growing due to lack of nutrients, but the other two grew a new brain part.

This part had memories when it was first constructed, and these memories contained a lot of information. Mainly some...tasks.

These tasks include the ones I just saw... which is to circle around the piece of meat.

The main meaning of spinning in circles is to break down the pieces of meat. Although it is not visible on the surface, they are spinning at high speed to cause vortices, and then follow the power of the vortex. The surface of the meat pieces will peel off little by little, and eventually the whole thing will fall apart.

Why do they have to use such troublesome methods to break down the pieces of meat? And it was later blown up due to Lin's surprise attack, so the mission should be considered a failure.

There is no such explanation in my memory, except that after they break down the pieces of meat, they will go to another place.

That place is also in this body of water. And it’s also the direction Lin is heading to now…

"……tasty!"

Lin suddenly heard a sound.

"This is so delicious! I'm going to eat you all up!"

The voice came from the communicator, and it was very vague, as if he was speaking underwater.

And the maker of this sound is indeed underwater, right in front of... the mechanical octopus.

Twenty meters ahead, Lin saw a creature. This creature was huge, like a crab-like creature. Its armor was two and a half meters wide. It had no armor on its body, but it had a helmet on its head. helmet.

The helmet because of its head...or rather it doesn't have a head at all. So it couldn't be put on, but the helmet seemed to be still working, and the sound came from its helmet.

This creature is currently using its forelimbs to pluck 'seedlings' from the ground.

There are many small barbs on its forelimbs. As long as it is swept with its forelimbs, it can pull up a large number of seedlings from the ground, and then put the forelimbs covered with seedlings to its mouth to eat them all.

Lin recognized it, it was the stink bug she met in the library before.

But now it has mutated and grown huge, so it looks like a crab-like creature. And it seems to be able to live in water.

And still eating something that I thought was delicious before eating it - pseudo-gelatinous creature.

It's just that before it was meat balls, this time it was seedlings grown underwater. Because the ingredients are similar, it will also find it delicious.

"What's this?"

At this time. It looked at Lin, who also heard its voice.

It actually makes no sound. Some creatures do not have vocal organs and do not use sounds to communicate. They just live in a place where vocal communication is the mainstay. These creatures will invent ways to use sounds.

Its helmet has this function and can directly receive its... thoughts. Then it comes out as a sound.

Usually these creatures know how to control this function so that other creatures will not hear their "voice", but now... the mutated stink bug does not know how to control it, so Lin can directly hear what it is thinking.

As long as the helmet is attached to its head, its thoughts will be transmitted through the communicator.

The sound transmission range of this communicator is also very close. It is similar to the sound transmission range of ordinary speech. It is designed to imitate ordinary speech. Therefore, Lin did not hear the sound from a distant place until she got close... and was struck by it. I heard it after I saw it.

"Does it taste good? It doesn't look delicious...but you have to try it. No, you have to keep eating these things, eat..."

It seemed to be hesitating whether to come over and attack the mechanical octopus or continue to eat the seedlings.

It seems that it has no thinking ability and does not remember the mechanical octopus.

"It still tastes bad, so I won't eat it."

Finally, it made a decision to continue eating the seedlings there, ignoring the mechanical octopus.

But...Lin didn't want to ignore it.

Lin's mechanical octopus rushed over and stretched out its tentacles to instantly wrap around the creature's body.

"I'm going to die...I'm going to..." As it continued to struggle, its helmet slipped off, and the communication sound was lost.

Lin let the tentacles pierce its shell, and then used a small needle to test its brain. Lin felt that it should have some special memory. Although it now has no intelligence, the memory is still retained.

……I see……

After testing, Lin discovered something.

It seems that the battleship and the aircraft wreckage are attracted in the same direction, mainly because they are related to... the pseudo-gelatinous creatures here. (To be continued.)
