Spore Story

Chapter 13 Light
"Store energy, launch!"

A faint electric light flashed in the pitch-black space in an instant.

After the electric current was generated in the small cell body, it immediately spread out in the direction of the target cell, and the entire small water area was surrounded by the current spreading range, and the poor test object was completely frozen there at this time.Not only that, but the small cell companions who have not yet evolved electrode components are also affected, showing a state of mild electric shock paralysis.

But at this time, the small cells seemed to have not noticed the poor test subject who was still breathing, and the companion whose movements were still jerky. At this time, the small cells seemed to have also been paralyzed by the electric shock.

After the brief electric shock, the space composed of several single cells unexpectedly became still for a short time. At this moment, time seemed to be suspended.

Small cells will not be paralyzed by their own electric shocks. The reason for stopping or even ignoring their surroundings is simple. It is just that small cells discover at the moment of electric shock that the eyespots that were considered wasted before are not sensitive to the faint light generated by the current. There was a reaction, and at that moment, a faint light was seen in the eyes.

Excluding the discomfort of the eyes, a normal human being who has stayed in a dark space for a long time suddenly sees a flash of light, no matter how faint, but how will he react at this time?
And since time travel, Void has become a consciousness, a consciousness without a body.Not having a body means not having vision, hearing, touch, etc., all the sensory abilities that need to be provided by the body.

Although it is because of the mental induction of the conscious body, the illusory, casual and indifferent personality, and the adjustment of the system (of course, mainly the third item), it did not collapse like a normal human being who has completely lost their senses, but at this time only the photosensitive effect The eye point, the electric light felt at that moment, reminded the part of the illusory consciousness staying in the small cell to think of the loneliness that has been hidden in the bottom of my heart for a long time since time travel.

The group is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more of the same kind, but they are just ordinary single-celled organisms, without intelligence and unable to communicate.

And 8051 in the bioediting space, only slightly answers when asked.Is there not enough intimacy?Sometimes Space Fantasy will think about it, but this is not GALGAME.

The dark and deep biological world can't give warmth to the emptiness of small cells. It probably only brings the illusory pressure of ever-increasing cruel competition.

The sudden racial pressure on Kong Huan made him feel suffocated for a while, and his time travel didn't look as good as he imagined.

But these are inescapable.Constantly using the methods of diverting eyes and forgetting, Kong Huan persisted, at least Kong Huan thought so.

But this unexpected light made Kong Huan suddenly feel like facing the current reality directly.

light.

Very faint light.

Very strong light.

"I'm so tired."

The space has already returned to darkness, and the tiny cells are gently shaking their cilia.

At this point it seemed to recall the feeling of facing death for the first time.

Darkness, fear, loneliness.

This is how it felt at the time.But why isn't this world giving the feeling of emptiness now?

Light, communication, friends.

Human beings are social creatures, and no one can survive alone and normally after being separated from the group and losing communication.

Even though it can no longer be regarded as the illusion of human beings, it still stubbornly adheres to the will of human beings in the bottom of its heart, constantly resisting the loss of human memory over time.

Because it is afraid that after throwing these things away completely, it will no longer be itself.

What would that be?

What is yourself?

The void in the bioediting space sometimes asks itself this way.The illusion at that time was like a small cell of limited thinking, knowing nothing and understanding nothing.

Is it true racist consciousness?
This is an imaginary result, maybe that is what the system expects, maybe it is really better for the race.

but.

I don't want to throw it away.

Thinking bitterly.

Companionship, wisdom, civilization.

Not wanting to stay silent any longer, the sudden voice seemed to point out a way for the lost and sinking emptiness, a way suitable for the present.

"Yes. Evolution."

"Develop wisdom."

"Generating civilization."

The small cell seems to be a little more awake, although the small cell itself does not understand.But the main consciousness seems to understand something.

After shaking the cilia a few times, it stirred up a turbulent flow.Still somewhat puzzled, the small cell feels that the single cell used for the experiment has been wiped out by its already awake companions, and even the debris left by it has been eaten. The two small cells have begun to evolve and divide, and four will appear soon. Shock cells only.

"Eat a lot and grow up quickly."

Slowly, other cells of the ethnic group also leaned up, surrounded the small cells inside, and habitually began to swim and patrol like loyal guards.

After carefully recalling the previous situation, the small cells gradually calmed down and found that the electrode assembly should be able to be used even when there is no target to attack, but looking at the previous situation, the electric shock is a diffuse attack regardless of whether it is the enemy or friend, at least it can be better if you can The Control Shock was like that before.

At this time, the two small cells have already split. Looking around, there are already five cells in the group with electrode components and myself. Although not many, it is a great force for the small cell group. .

"Guang, I still want to see it."

Control other non-evolved companions to stay a little away to avoid being affected.The small cell controls its own body and the other four polarized companions start to discharge in turn.

The light produced by the current in the water once again pierced the dark water space, bringing a faint light to it.

"Light, it's so beautiful."

Although the eye point can only feel light or no light, nothing or even outlines can be seen.But the light produced at this time did not bring any other adverse reactions except for the small cells.

The small cell knew that this space would return to darkness soon.But at least the small cells at this time firmly believe that as long as they keep moving forward, they will definitely be bathed in warm sunshine in the future.

How long will that be?

"do not know."

"Hundreds of millions of years have passed, are you afraid of another few hundred million years?"

Evolution does not stop.

Greedily enjoying the short-lived light, although the eyes can only feel the presence or absence of light, it is already very satisfying for the current small cells.

However, the world of evolution is also cruel. The restlessness of the peripheral companions surprised the small cell, and taught the small cell a lesson, don't let down your vigilance.

Immediately controlled the small cells to stop discharging, felt the telepathic world amplified by companions, but the small cells felt a little fear again.

Another multicellular organism.

"I'm so lucky."

"When did it appear?"

The small cell instinctively turned backwards.

At this time, the group had already started to be chaotic, and the multicellular creature suddenly stopped from sprinting towards the position of the small cells, and then swallowed several nearby small cells in one gulp.

"Can't escape."

At the critical moment, the small cell seemed to recall the empty and oppressive space in the past.

"Let other small cells attract the attention of the enemy, so that you can escape safely."

"I do not want."

"It's enough to split up if the companion is gone, as long as you escape by yourself."

"I do not."

"Do you want to escape again?"

"No!"

"I am the main consciousness of the ethnic group."

"I want to take them to continue to evolve."

"I want them to be my true companions."

Stopping the body that was about to shake the cilia and flee backwards, the small cells quickly used mental induction to control all the small cells around them, and divided them into three parts. The first group followed closely behind, and the other group swam scattered under the control of the small cells, playing guerrilla games with Cyclops, and taking advantage of their speed to escape.Although he wanted to try to destroy the opponent, but after the small cells attacked the opponent with spikes but couldn't even hurt the skin, all the small cells decisively chose to evacuate quickly under the control of the main consciousness.

……

Sensing the group of small cells gathered around them, the small cells were thankful that all the small cells had three cilia. Although the main polarized cells were the target of the one-eyed at first, due to the distance, none of them were injured or injured. The other small cells are only a few of which are unable to react and are eaten by the opponent when encountering multi-cell attack.And thanks to the response of the peripheral cells for reminding the small cells, due to their small size, flexible movements, and much higher swimming speed than the multi-cells, the small cells escaped relatively smoothly.

"It should be light that attracts the multicellularity."

Recalling that when Cyclops was first discovered, the opponent's target seemed to be the electrically polarized cells in the inner layer that were firing, and the small cell came to a conclusion.

"Shouldn't relax."

Summarizing the previous encounters in this way, I feel that Cyclops should not have caught up. In fact, as long as I don’t use light to attract the other party, the possibility of Cyclops finding small cells at this distance is very low.

Integrating the group, the small cell led everyone to swim into the darkness again.

They will evolve into their future companions.

——————————We are the unscrupulous time dividing line———————————

In the pitch-black waters, a huge single-cell cluster was swimming slowly.There may be one or two hundred of them, but in the current space, they can only be regarded as small and medium-sized clusters.Although the single cells in it were shaking a cilium behind them in chaos, and aiming at a spike in front of them indiscriminately, the whole cluster was generally swimming in the same direction with the same goal.

And not far from their periphery, the figures of a few small cells appear and disappear from time to time.

"It should be eliminated."

"This is the smallest cluster encountered in this period of time."

Surrounded by more than 90 companions, the small cells once again sensed a group of cells that have probably evolved into electric polarization cells.Recently, most of the single cells in the entire space have formed a large cluster that ranges from nearly a hundred to many that are not clearly sensed by the current small cells.Although small cells can't count at all.

And the frequency of encountering multicellular organisms also began to increase, but basically the small cells escaped by relying on their agility and speed.

If that's bad news, there's good news, of course.

That is, the small cells inadvertently discovered that when their perception range further spread through the expanded ethnic group, their control over the ethnic group cells also further deepened.And the number of small cells with electrode assemblies increased, and the thinking ability of the small cells seemed to increase.

However, adjacent companions should not be too far away, otherwise the telepathy would be disconnected.

After vaguely understanding the outline of the information, the small cells use the method of expanding the number of polarized cells in the group to further enhance their thinking ability, and the range of perception is also expanded simultaneously, which greatly enhances the early warning ability of the group. The success rate of eating or escaping has increased greatly.

However, one disadvantage of the expansion of the ethnic group is that the demand for food also increases.

And the small cells also noticed that the electrode assembly consumes a lot of nutritional value.

It seems that regardless of the current biological world or the previous civilized society, many things are affordable, but whether they can be used or not is a huge problem.

The small amount of floating organic matter and cells occasionally encountered today can no longer meet the needs of small cell populations, and large inorganic matter groups are rarely found for small cells due to their sparse distribution in the entire space.Other clusters of single cells might choose to respond with reduced activity or even hibernation, but small cells do not.

"It's a waste of time."

That's the idea of ​​small cells.

Therefore, the current small cells can only think of the method of actively hunting other weak cell clusters as their main business, and then obtaining a large amount of food.The non-aggressive cell cluster not far away is the smallest cell cluster encountered by the small cell population during this period.

Of course, it has become the current prey of small cells.

After confirming the situation of the group, the prey in front, and the surrounding area, the small cell led the group and began to approach the prey. In fact, the distance between the two sides is far from as large as imagined. The nearest small cell and the prey are only separated by a small cell body size However, as long as they don't touch or disturb the abnormal water flow, the opponent can't find the small cell. This is a big advantage of the small cell, and even the key to victory.

After reaching a certain range and sorting out the general formation, the small cells immediately control a team composed of electrically polarized small cells to charge towards the middle of the prey, dividing the opponent's cluster; while another team of mixed small cells moves to the front Block, and merge with the previous team to surround the divided group of prey; finally the small cells lead the remaining team together with all the small cells to start destroying the surrounded prey.

Under the action of the electric shock, the single cells that were not surrounded would instinctively scatter and escape after a little resistance, just like the small cells with multiple cells in the mouth.

The surrounded single cells will be eaten away step by step under the attack of the small cells that are superior in both attack power and number.

It should be like this.

Well, reality does develop like this.

The control group wiped out this half of the prey, and the small cells quickly ate the debris.However, the small cells did not make them divide now, ignoring the scattered and escaping single cells, the small cells led the group to leave here quickly, because it did not know whether the large number of electric shocks just now would attract multicellular organisms as unluckily as last time .

Eliminate each other?

This may be possible. Although multicellular organisms are larger in size, they also have high defense.But it is also possible for small cells with electrode components to destroy each other, but this is under the premise that it takes a lot of time and a large number of companions are eaten by the opponent.This is not acceptable to small cells, or in other words, emptiness.

"I can't risk the Clan."

Feeling the same race beside him, although they have the advantage, there are still more than a dozen companions who were wiped out by the opponent's spikes.Fortunately, eliminating half of the opponent's number also allowed the small cell population to obtain a large amount of nutritional value.

Store the nutritional value of all small cells, including a dozen small cells that have not yet evolved.Finding a place that feels safe, Small Cell is ready to return to the bioediting space again.

It needs to think carefully about the problem of dealing with large clusters of single cells and evolving into multicellular organisms.

These are all small cell thinking that cannot be considered.
