Chapter 20 Evolution!

The water still swept across the entire rock relentlessly, this time much more violently than last time.

All the large and small cells here were washed away by it and disappeared into the dark blue in the distance, but Lin's huge tentacles still stood in the center of the rock.

The giant tentacles bend with each impact of the current, tearing apart the numerous cells inside.

But Lin didn't have any plans to back down, and every time it relied on constant repairing and splitting to prop up the entire tentacles again, facing the next wave of water again.

Lin understands that its cells will evolve at a high speed in the face of adversity, and after each injury, they will become stronger!

Constant tinkering is also extremely food-intensive, so Lin connected all the fat cells with tentacles, which can transfer energy to them as quickly as possible.

As for the other idle cells, they keep going back and forth to the cave below to transport new food up to the fat cells.

The water was still sweeping across the rocks, and the interval was getting shorter and shorter. It didn't take long for the next wave of water to strike again, and Lin's tentacles were washed away again, but this time the amplitude was smaller than the previous few times. many.

The number of muscle cells broken is significantly less, and most of their bodies have become more flexible than ever in these short waves of water, and can withstand greater pulling forces.

The evolution unfolded, and Lin was delighted.

The water flow did not give Lin more effort to be happy, and the shocks came one after another, and the time for each wave was getting shorter and shorter.

However, Lin did not fall down, and it repaired the tentacles faster every time.

Until the end, the water flow even became continuous, and there was no interval between their impacts, but at this time, Lin didn't need to repair anymore.

The tenacity of its tentacles is not damaged even in such a torrent.

Lin succeeded, and Lin took another big step on the road of evolution.

Are you happy? Yes, only then did Lin realize that it had a new word.

In this way, Lin's threat is one less, and now, the only remaining threat in Lin's memory is the ice that suddenly spread over the frozen waters.

Lin believes that she will face the fear of extreme cold again, and then overcome it!

The water flow continued for a period of time, began to slowly reduce the speed, and then slowly stabilized, and the entire waters returned to calm again.

Lin opened the opening at the top of the tentacles, and a large number of cells swam out, and Lin began to completely control this area.

Thanks to the current that washed away all the cells on the rock, Lin didn't even need to fight, so she could easily capture 100% of the rock area.

Lin began to plan to build more tentacles on the rock so that it could more easily control the entire rock.

The tentacles can not only be used for defending against water flow, but also for hunting. As long as other cells are sucked in and the solution is dissolved, it is so easy and convenient. Lin also intends to put those acupuncture cells on the tentacle skin to let them grow, so that A terrifying tentacle full of deadly spikes.

……wrong.

Lin suddenly thought of a better way.

Um……

Yes, directly surrounding the whole rock is much more useful than building a lot of tentacles on the rock, and there is more space for Lin's cells to swim in.

Do it when you think of it.

Lin let a large number of basic cells swim to the edge of the rock, and began to combine layer by layer around the edge. After the combination, Lin let them start to evolve into the same softness as the tentacle skin, so as to ensure the hardness , but also to ensure that they can be active.

However, it seems that such a flat and wide structure can move and it is useless, and it cannot perform various actions like tentacles.

That's it for now, Lin thinks it's always good to be active.

As for the base, it is made of a large number of fat cells, which are used to grasp the rocks below.

Lin also found an interesting place,

That is, although the cells cannot dig up the rock, if some cells are allowed to drill into the cracks of the rock and keep splitting, it is possible to squeeze the rock.

In this way, they can also be more stable on rocks.

As Lyn's observer watched the cells assemble, it also began to notice the edge of the rock.

The edges of the rocks are very smooth, but there are many cracks or protrusions on them that allow Lynn's cells to hold onto them and form 'walls'.

If you look down from the edge, you can only see the rocky cliffs that lead all the way to the deep water. Lin can't see what's below. Lin may go down to explore sometime, but not now.

Next, eat and grow...

The number of Lin's cells surged, and they quickly swallowed all the white paste on the rock. Lin's cell wall surrounding the entire rock also quickly formed. During this period, Lin did not encounter water flow or any powerful cell community. Come to harass, only some small community cells that appear occasionally, have become Lin's food without exception.

It is worth mentioning that the light bacteria in those caves are no longer afraid of Lin's cells, and they have started to eat in Lin's cell group, but Lin will drive them away. In this period of urgent need for food, Lin will only give them to them. The food that the community needs to eat, as for the need to eat more to split, don't think about it.

The cells are slowly growing like this... The shaping of the wall is finally completed after several dark nights have passed.

During the period, Lin also felt that one layer of cells was not thick enough, so she added several layers, so it took longer.

The cells built a huge semi-circular cover around the entire rock, covering the entire rock surface, with a large hole in the middle for Lin's tentacles to stick out.

Lin also opened many small closable holes on the surface for cells to enter and exit, and there are also many such holes in the multi-layer structure, so that cells can be quickly put in to repair the damage.

However, it can be repaired by direct division of cells surrounding the damaged part.

With such a safe protection, Lin no longer needs to be afraid of water flow, but it takes a huge amount of cells to build such a huge shield, and maintaining them requires a huge amount of food.

Therefore, Lin usually keeps them in a still state. Lin found that as long as the cells do not move, they hardly need any food.

But even so, although the white paste in the cave and the outer layer of the rock can maintain the entire community, and there are still some more, but it is not enough for Lin to continue to expand the community.

Lin devised a new scheme that can make some cells stop their life activities, and then let other cells break down and digest it, so that a lot of energy can be obtained at a critical moment.

This method also works on some cells that have lived for a long time. Their death can make room for newly divided cells. Lin knows that the speed of a cell's self-evolution is far less than that of allowing it to divide into a new cell.

Fast, and the longer the cell lives, the damage it receives from life activities will continue to accumulate, such as abrasions on rocks, etc., and eventually become weaker than normal cells.

But newly dividing cells inherit all the advantages of the old cells, and are usually stronger without inheriting the disadvantages.

Therefore, this scheme of eliminating cells can replace some of the already 'old' cells, allowing Lin to continue to evolve without increasing the number of colonies and food consumption.

What is this program called? There were new words in Lin's mind.

"life".

Yes, simply put, it's an excellent solution to weed out old cells and make room for new, more dynamic and powerful cells.

If you don't eliminate the old ones and just keep splitting, then no matter how much food you have, you will be depleted. Of course, if there is enough food, Lin will not run this 'lifespan' plan.

However, Lin still wanted to increase the colony, and it did realize that the white paste coming out of the stone was not enough.

But the rock was often approached by large and small cell colonies, and Lyn decided to start capturing them.

However, these cells were not easy to catch, because they swam to the outer layer of Lin's shield and found that they couldn't get in and left, and Lin didn't know where they appeared from.

But just a little bit of fixing it, what are these cells attracted to?

That's right, it's Baijiao. If that's the case, why didn't Lin use Baijiao as a trap to trap them?

Hmm... a trap?

what a good word...
