How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 20: Province

Huo Gu didn't know how long he had been trapped by this fierce wave, because there was no timekeeping tool or method, but in terms of his subjective feeling, it has been a very long time.

During this period, the individuals in the gourd group were enlarged in the agitated strong current until they were torn as a whole like shredded paper.

Huo Gudu couldn't do anything about all this. It was now difficult for it to protect itself. The gourd that was originally boarding was torn and dismembered into twenty-one pieces of meat of different sizes along the wound.

When the wave gradually calmed down, Huo Gu reacted and once again returned to the original state of poverty and whiteness, leaving the house in various senses.

"It's so dangerous... one more... a little... positive... often logical... thinking... there's nothing I can do... guarantee..."

At this time, Huo Gu did not have much fear of what he had just experienced, just because he maintained the most normal thinking now, which was quite reluctant.

The layers of thinking shackles make its reaction dull.

The top priority is to quickly return to the original state.

"...must...proliferate as soon as possible..."

The inner cells that received the instructions immediately started the collection of amino acid proteins, began to expand the quantity, and the recovery work was in full swing.

Of course, this process is not smooth sailing. When the number of cells in the inner cell increases to four times the original fragment volume, new uninvited guests come.

It was a group of long shuttle-shaped microbacteria, swinging the flagella of the tail, locking the target through the eye points in the cell, and rushing straight to the expanding number of inner cell communities.

The head of these microbacters has a spike. It is with this weapon that they take down the throne at the top of the food chain in one fell swoop in this water.

The spikes easily penetrate the cell membrane of the inner cells, and the microbacteria immediately agitate their internal cytoplasm and inject the protein lyase into the inner cells through the path in the spike.

The injected inner cells immediately fail, lose their vital activity, and dismember several large protein structures.

Because there were no eyes, when Huo Gu noticed these uninvited guests, the outermost batch of injected inner cells had all died.

And those microbacteria are still ready to attack the adjacent inner cells.

"You are looking for death!"

Huo Gu, who has been specializing in cell dominance for a long time, has already had a set of self-systematic manipulation methods. Today, it is not the same as that that has just come into contact with cells.

While the microbacteria were busy attacking, Huo Gu gave the 'proliferation' instructions to the unattacked inner cells on the other side.

The shape of the inner cell community changes, and the attacked part gradually sank inward, while other unattacked parts bulge in the proliferation command, gradually forming a cavity, wrapping those microbacteria in the cavity.

"Release lysase."

One second after the instruction, the inner cells facing the cavity adjust the cell membrane one after another, releasing a large number of lyases. Soon, the enzymes fill the whole space of the cavity.

At this time, the microbacteria finally realized that something was wrong and they chose to escape.

A dexterous microbacterium, swinging the flagella at the tail, swimming blankly in the low concentration area of enzymes, as if searching for a way to escape, as if avoiding the damage of those enzymes.

But these are useless, because this cavity is completely closed, and they will definitely die at the moment when this cavity is formed.

Buried with these microbacteria are also the inner cells on the inner wall of the cavity. At the expense of some of the inner cells, Huo Gu also harvests a large number of proteins and amino acids of various types.

With the progress of time, the required biological materials have finally been fully collected.

The first to recover is the mouth, and then the jet propulsion organ.

With the cooperation of these two components, Huo Gu's speed of collecting biological materials has been further improved.

However, Huo Gu did not dare to push forward at full speed, mainly because he had no eyes, which was like driving blindfolded on the road. If Huo Gu hadn't known that he was in the ocean and there were almost no obstacles, he would not have dared to do this.

After enough material is collected, it is used to observe the external eyes, which is also supplemented by Huo Gu, followed by the recovery of the sensory cavity.

The whole process did not take long. Huo Gu just went through the road he had taken before again, omitting the process of racking his brains.

After completely returning to the full-sperity posture, while copying other gourd individuals, Huo Gu is also distracted from doing another thing - summary and reflection.

Huo Gu is not afraid of failure again. As long as there is a chance to start from scratch, failure is a kind of help. It is this style that makes it a human being, and he is also a person who can speak well in the field of archaeology.

"The first is reflection."

"It's too fragile. The defense ability of wall cells is really too fragile..."

"Although it can play a strong defense against microorganisms, it is only limited to the microscopic. In the end, it is just a thin layer of cells. At the macro level, it is probably more fragile than tofu brain."

"There is also the jet propulsion organ. Although the explosive power is good, the endurance is not good. This time, in the face of the frenzy, I did not choose to escape, but set up an anti-impact formation, because the endurance is not up to the standard, and with the current mobility ability, it can't escape at all."

Huo Gu remembered the wave he faced before and was annoyed. If he could calm down and design a more efficient way of propulsion, he would not put himself in danger.

"Then, the 'comss' emotion that subconsciously ignores, knowing that it is more fragile than infants at the macro level, but only thinks that there are no multicellular organisms in the ancient world, so it subconsciously ignores the threat from this aspect..."

In Huo Gu's thoughts, the gourds that pierced unknown objects flashed. At the same time, he thought of the terrible wave again. This time, it was afraid.

"This won't work. There must be no next time. If you survive this time, you can't be sure next time. Even if there is the same turnaround next time, you won't be sure next time."

"Finally, the summary..."

When he arrived here, Huo Gu paused and fell into meditation.

"I was confused from the beginning..."

"I am above those microorganisms. I am a macrobiotic. Whether it is me as a human being or me now, it is better to say that it is natural for me to defeat thoughtless microorganisms with thoughts. There is nothing to be proud of."

"Microbes have never been my biggest threat..."

"My real opponent should be this world, this era..."

"This planet is still in the Age of Hades!"
