How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 19: Disaster

The exponential growth of cell clusters quickly reached a considerable number - more than 400 units of individuals.

Due to the change in appearance, the cell cluster in the perceptual area was added and changed from a long-necked porcelain bottle to a gourd. Huo Gu simply called them 'gou'.

"No. 10 gourd, try to keep the position unchanged."

"No. 131 gourd, you have yooned, adjust the elevation angle, move nine meters to the right oblique, and return to the position you should stay as soon as possible."

"No. 168 gourd, immediately reduce the speed and keep the team shape."

...

Huo Gu tirelessly emphasized his instructions. As the distance between instructions and instructions increased, a problem that was not obvious also emerged.

Although the instructions can be transmitted to farther places by relay, there is a delay in the instructions conveyed in this way. The farthest and shortest individuals will always have to receive the instructions issued by it after a long time.

For this reason, Huo Gu needs to correct the position of a gourd every time to maintain the whole collective formation. In the current complex and changeable environment, the delay problem is very troublesome.

At present, Huo Gu has no good way to solve this problem. After all, what is the core secret that caused its current state? It has not figured out yet, and naturally it is not a more efficient use.

"The number is not enough..."

"Am I a little too aggressive?"

Huo Gu, who squeezed out a little thinking ability from the work of miscellaneous instructions, thinks that although there is no good solution to the delay problem for the time being, as long as the number is large enough and the coverage area is wide enough, the fault tolerance of the overall formation will increase, and the problems caused by the instruction delay can be covered up.

Huo Gu began to consider whether to slow down the progress of exploring alkaline waters and expand the water coverage of the gourd group.

At this moment, hundreds of eyes that were alert to changes in the environment keenly caught the slight abnormality in the nearby waters.

At a glance, a 'white line' appeared at the farthest end of the gourd group's vision, like a skyline.

Huo Gu immediately used the gourd closest to the 'white line' in the formation to observe.

After receiving the instructions from Huo Gu, the vitreous body immediately adjusts the degree of concave and convexity, and the eyes rotate, and tightly lock the 'white line' in the distance.

Under the magnification of the vitreous body, the 'white line' becomes a 'fence', which is like a fence built of cotton, which only exists in fairy tales, swaying in the gentle and wind of the rural path.

Then, Huo Gu noticed the abnormal condition of the whole gourd group, and the cell membrane, cytoplasm, organelles, and even the cell wall were undergoing subtle vibrations.

"It shouldn't be..."

The extremely ominous foreboding was enveloped in my heart, and some quite bad speculation appeared in Huo Gu's thoughts, making him feel scared.

"Pay attention to the No. 8 to No. 5 clusters! A rapids is coming! Flow to the left rear, adjust the course, expand the whole fin, and buffer and prepare!"

Not long after the order was issued, the whole gourd group followed the instructions and made corresponding changes.

Perhaps he felt the anxiety of Huo Gu himself, or through the help of Huo Gu's own foresaw the arrival of the crisis and the desire to survive, the emergency adjustment of the gourd group was finally completed before the arrival of the foreseeable disaster.

However, this is not a good thing to be grateful for. It's just a little psychological comfort after a bad luck.

Not long after that, just after a short period of time after the emergency adjustment of the Huqun, the danger that made Huo Gu scared had crossed the end of the vision and came nearby.

At this time, it was no longer a 'f fence', but a 'wall'.

Time, at this moment, is like being pressed the slow playback button. Huo Gu once heard people say when he was a human that when he is close to death, his thinking will accelerate. Relatively speaking, his subjective feeling of time will also slow down, at least human beings are like this.

Looking at the wall not far away, it can make people deeply understand the meaning of the word 'small'. Go straight up to the sea, look to the left, and extend to the end of the vision of the concave and convex limit of the eye glass body. You still can't see the end of the wall, and it's the same when you look to the right.

It's like standing at the end of the world, facing the barriers standing on the edge of the world - Huo Gu has the most intuitive feeling about what he sees at this moment.

Through the surging white waves on the white wall and considering the liquid environment of the ocean, it is easy to judge the real face of this magnificent wall - the giant tsunami.

Somewhere in this sea area, an unknown outbreak point releases extremely huge kinetic energy in one breath, which radiates in the form of 'waves' in the liquid environment of the ocean, which is the huge tsunami facing the gourd group now.

The swept white wall came in an instant, directly wrapping the whole gourd like an ant, and continuing to run into the distance.

"Stabilize! You must be steady!"

Huo Gu knew that this was a futile shout.In front of such a great power, Huo Gu's cluster is just a trivial joke, and the drainage of fins is finally limited.

But there are some things that you have to do even if you know it's in vain. At this time, even a little miracle is many times better than no miracle that happens.

After being wrapped in the tsunami, the surrounding scenery turned into floating light and shadow, mainly because the gourd, as an eye carrier, has been suffering from the situation caused by the turbulence in the tsunami.

At present, the only thing that can guarantee good ability is probably the inner vision of the gourd. After being wrapped in the surging waves, the number of gourds also fell from 400 to double digits again, not death, but thrown out of a very long distance and lost contact.

And this is not the end. It rains all night. Sometimes it's unlucky. Even if you drink cold water, it may plug your teeth.

At a very fast speed, only an individual in the gourd group passed by, and a cut equivalent to one-third of the length of the gourd itself was drawn out.

"What the hell?!"

Huo Gu was shocked. He wanted to know what it was, but there was nothing he could do. As a means of external detection, the vision is now no different from the decoration.

Once again, I felt that deep sense of powerlessness.

The same situation continues. The first gourd, which was pulled out of a third of the long mouth, was the least damaged gourd in the whole cluster.

The gourd group suffered more puncture damage. Dozens of gourds were sifted by those objects, and the same is true of the gourd that Huo Gu's boarding.

The defense line of wall cells was disintegrated, and a large number of attacking microbes attacked the predators at the top of the current waters.

The situation is further developing towards a worse situation.
