How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 2: fit

   Split again—this is the next purpose of the life body after calling for no results.

   In response to the surging forces in the darkness, the single cell stabilizes its body as much as possible so that it can maintain a relatively stable state.

   The split begins again.

   Repeating the same process as before, in this timeless darkness, the self-replication of life forms will soon reach the final stage.

   The feeling of unlocking the shackles emerged again, and even the life body could feel that the dark world around it was becoming different.

   When the separation outer membrane is completely formed, the two single cells begin to separate gradually, and the shackles appear, and the locks are slowly locked.

   The relaxed feeling is slowly disappearing, replaced by an indescribable sense of stagnation. The living body does not want to accept such things, it wants to continue to do so.

   "...Don't go."

   The life body calls instinctively like this.

   should not have any reaction, but there are so many weird things in this world.

   The child body, which has not been completely separated from the mother body, actively engages with the life body. After the child body changes its shape appropriately, it becomes the force that fits the life body.

"So happy…"

   "...What is ‘happy’?"

   As always, it cannot answer questions.

   The living body turned its attention to itself, when it suddenly discovered that it could'see' more things.

  In the beginning, it can only rely on the feeling to'see' to a point.

   Then, after being attacked by that phage, what you can see extends from the dots to your entire body.

   Now, the vision in the dark world has been expanded again, it can see the child that is close to itself, the entire internal situation.

   Yes, this is a change, the same change as before.

   The living body feels happy about this. It doesn't understand why it wants to be happy, but it feels this way instinctively, so it obeys this instinct.

   "I want more...more changes..."

   This is desire, and the living body has learned ‘desire’ without knowing it.

   Driven by this desire, it wants to continue to replicate itself.

   Self-replicating materials are not scarce, and there are everywhere in the dark. Every time a living body is bound to move by force, a living body can always bump into a bunch of such things.

   With the help of the copy that clung to the mother body, the living body quickly collected all the materials it needed.

"more and more…"

   In the pleasant bioelectricity of the living body, a new division begins.

   The members who hugged each other in the dark world suddenly added two more, and the sub-body also replicated itself under the command of the living body.

   What followed was the shock of unlocking the ‘yoke’ twice.

   "A lot... great..."

Enjoying this feeling of comprehensive upgrade, the unraveling of the'yoke' is accompanied by more and more fresh things. Compared with the hazy feeling when it is a single cell, everything seems to be gradually Become organized and clear.

   What follows is a greater desire, which drives the life body to act.

   It's just the close contact of four individuals to feel the current level. Then, what will happen if more replicated individuals are grouped together?

   The act of self-replication in the life body can not wait.

   The four gradually split into eight, and with it emerges endless freshness, comfort after clear thinking, and countless other feelings that are difficult to express.

   These feelings make the living body deeply fascinated by them, and they can't stop eating them.

   But unfortunately, these feelings did not last long.

   The force of a spiral operation entraps eight clumped cells, which are already fragile single-cell aggregates, even if they are facing the fate of disintegration.

   "Don't!"

   The life form resisted, but that was just a futile effort. No matter how it changed its shape, it couldn't resist the power that emerged in the darkness.

   Around it, once again, only one individual remained, wandering aimlessly.

   fell from heaven into hell.

   "...uncomfortable..."

   tried to hug the seven sub-body life forms, and once again felt the situation of a single individual, but it was even more uncomfortable and difficult. It didn't want to stay in this situation for even a quarter of an hour.

   The copy operation continues. Compared to before, this desire is now even stronger.

When a new child appeared, while enjoying the clear thinking, the life body also realized with hindsight that the empty shell of the mild phage was still firmly attached to its outside, and it was not as good as other children. The body was thrown away by the sudden force.

   "Why haven't you been separated?"

   With this question, the living body began to observe the empty shell of this phage.

   "The six scaffold-shaped tails composed of proteins are docked with the cell membrane to form a whole, thereby ensuring that it is difficult to separate them by external forces."

   "What is'protein'?"

   "What is'cell membrane' again?"

   This is the answer that the living body gets subconsciously, and it doesn’t understand why it’s just observing, UU reading www.uukanshu. com can get such a transparent answer.

   Same as before, in this case it can’t understand.

   Give up the question of no beginning and end in the pursuit, and the living body began to pay attention to collecting materials. Now that the question has been answered, there is only action left.

   The key point is the six tails with connecting function. Thanks to the special perspective, the living body can easily see the macromolecular structure of the six scaffold-shaped tails.

   Place the collected materials in the cytoplasm.

   The chaotic inner core began to partially untwist, a small part of a small part of experimental attempts, looking for the phage gene chain hidden in the gene chain.

   After so many attempts, the organism finally found the part it wanted, which is the genetic blueprint for the phage assembly tail.

   The gene chain began to play its role. The single chain captures the macromolecular clusters that are in a free state in the cytoplasm to complement itself.

   Soon, the macromolecular clusters in the cytoplasm were consumed, replaced by dozens of protein structures identical to the tails of the phage.

   These structures and the tail of that phage serve the same function.

   That is, it can form a whole with the outer membrane of the cell that it comes into contact with.

  The finished living body cannot wait to transport these protein structures from the cytoplasm to the outer membrane of the cell.

  The scaffold-like protein structure naturally protrudes from the gaps in the cell membrane and forms a whole with the replicated outer membrane that is close to its mother.

Immediately afterwards, there are successively multiple protein structures. The connection between two single cells becomes more and more unbreakable. Those ubiquitous forces are no longer a threat to separate them, but instead It is a boost to make them move faster.
