How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 20: province

   How long has been engulfed by this violent wave, Huo Gu is not clear, because there is no time tool or method, but as far as his subjective feeling is concerned, a very long time has passed.

During the    period, the individuals in the gourd were enlarged in the strong current of agitation, until they were torn apart like shredded paper.

   All of this, Huo Gu is powerless, it is now unable to protect itself, the gourd that was originally boarding was torn and dismembered into 21 pieces of meat of various sizes along the wound.

   When the wave gradually returned to calm, Huogu reacted, and once again returned to the original state of being poor and white, purifying himself and going out in various senses.

   "Good risk...A little bit worse...Positive...Always logical...Thinking...no way...guarantee..."

   At this time, Huo Gu didn't have much fear of what happened just now, just because it maintains the most normal thinking now, which is quite reluctant.

   Layers of thought shackles make it slow to react.

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

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

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

   Of course, this process was not all smooth sailing. When the number of inner cells increased to four times the size of the original fragments, new uninvited guests arrived.

   It is a group of long fusiform microbacteria, swinging the flagella on the tail, locking the target through the eye points in the cell, and rushing straight to the expanding number of inner cell colonies.

   These micro-bacteria have a spike on their heads. With this weapon, they can do no harm in this waters and take the throne at the top of the food chain in one fell swoop.

The    spike easily penetrates the cell membrane of the inner cell, and the microbacteria then agitates the cytoplasm of their own and injects the protein lyase into the inner cell through the small path in the spike.

  The inner cells that have been injected are immediately exhausted, lose their vitality, and are dismembered into several large protein structures.

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

   And those micro-bacteria are still ready to attack the nearby inner cells.

   "You are looking for death!"

   Hogu, who has been studying the control of cells for a long time, has already had a set of self-contained manipulation methods. Today, it is completely different from the one that has just touched cells.

   While the microbes were busy attacking, Huogu gave instructions to ‘proliferate’ to the inner cells that were not attacked on the other side.

The shape of the cell colony within    changes. The attacked part gradually sinks inward, and the other unattacked parts bulge in the proliferation instructions, gradually forming a cavity, enclosing the microbacteria in the cavity.

   "Release the lyase."

   One second after the order was given, the cells facing the cavity adjusted their cell membranes, releasing a large amount of lyase, and soon the enzyme filled the entire space of the cavity.

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

   Clever micro-bacteria, swinging the flagella on their tails, swimming blankly in the low-enzyme concentration area, seeming to search for the escape route, as if avoiding the damage of those enzymes.

   But these are all in vain, because this cavity is fully enclosed, as early as the moment this cavity is formed, they are already bound to die.

  The inner cells on the inner wall of the cavity were buried together with these microbacteria. At the expense of part of the inner cells, Hogu also harvested a large number of various types of proteins and amino acids.

   As time advances step by step, the required biological materials are finally collected.

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

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

   However, Huo Gu did not dare to advance at full speed, mainly because he had no eyes. This is like driving blindfolded on the road. If Huo Gu knew that he was in the ocean and there were few obstacles, he would really not dare to do that.

   After collecting enough materials, the eyes for observing the outside were also filled by Huogu, and then he sensed the recovery of the cavity.

   The whole process didn't take long. Huogu just re-traveled the road he had walked before, omitting the brainstorming process.

   After completely returning to the state of heyday, while copying other gourds, Huo Gu was also distracted to do another thing-summary and reflection.

   Huo Gu is not afraid of failure when he comes back. As long as there is a chance to start all over again, failure is a kind of help. It is this style of work that makes him a man who can speak in the field of archaeology when he is still a human.

   "The first is reflection."

   "Too fragile, the defensive ability of parietal cells is really too fragile..."

"Although it can play a strong defense against microorganisms, it is only limited to the microcosm ~lightnovelpub.net~ In the final analysis, it is just a thin layer of cells. On the macro level, it is probably more than tofu brain. Be fragile."

"There is also the jet propulsion organ. Although the explosive power is OK, the endurance is not good. This time I did not choose to escape in the face of the frenzy. Can't escape."

   Huo Gu remembered the wave he had faced before, and was very annoyed. If he could devote himself to designing a more efficient way of propulsion, he would not put himself in danger.

   "Next is the feeling of ‘complacency’ that is subconsciously ignored. I know that it is more fragile than a baby on a macro level, but I only think that there are no multicellular organisms in the ancient universe, so the subconscious mind will ignore the threat from this aspect..."

   Huogu's thoughts flashed past the gourds that gave holes to unknown objects. At the same time, he once again remembered the wave of horror. This time, it had fear.

   "This won't work. There is absolutely no next time. This time I survived by fluke, but I can't tell the next time. Even if the next time there is the same turnaround, the next time I can't say the same."

   "The final conclusion is..."

   At this point, Huogu paused, lost in thought.

   "From the beginning, I was confused..."

"I was originally above the microbes. I am a macroscopic organism. Whether it is me as a human or who I am now, it is better to say that the thinking I defeated the non-mind microbes is a matter of course. There is nothing to be proud of. Thing."

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

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

   "This planet is still in the age of the ancient universe!"
