How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 64: accidental

   Accidental is a major feature in this universe. It was born unexpectedly and at the same time limited to reason. It seems absurd and funny, but once you study it deeply, you can't find any unreasonable things at all.

   Some people also say that it is inevitable. Accident does not exist at all. It is an event that must happen based on countless inevitable events, but it is just outside the scope of people's expectation.

   When a dice rolls six, is it accidental? Or is it inevitable?

  The ice and snow all over the world gradually melted under the cooperation of the honeycomb and rhizome system under the control of Huogu. Although the north and south poles were not arranged, they were more or less affected.

   The towering glaciers fall off piece by piece and become part of the sea.

   And it was at this time that certain inconspicuous individuals also awakened from the severe cold and fell into the ocean with the scattered large ice crystals.

   Compared to ice below freezing, liquid seawater above freezing is extremely warm.

   In the dark, it seems that all beings will ask their own questions, appearing in the minds of small individuals-who am I?

   A question that has no beginning and no end. Some humans who like to turn their horns have been searching for the answer to this question for their entire lives. However, the small individual is different from those people. It already has its own answer.

   [Your category is different from ‘Gourd’. Although it is similar in appearance, it is fundamentally different. It should have a new name...]

  【...The original purpose of your design was to collect enough organic materials, so from today onwards, it will be called a ‘gatherer’. 】

   This is a memory etched in genes, and it is by no means something that can be forgotten so easily.

   It is not waiting for a small individual to observe the surrounding environment. The huge memory in the gene is like a tide that impacts its thought structure that is still embryonic.

   [Go to the No. 4 submarine volcano to collect materials, pay attention to avoid the smoke plume rising from the volcano...]

   [Very good, your collection experience has reached the qualified standard, you can join the collection force...]

  ……

   [The collection efficiency of the large unit has decreased. In view of this situation, the large unit is divided into countless small teams, distinguished by numbers. From now on, your team is number 74634...]

   [There is a squad of 96564 collectors trapped in rocks near the 182nd submarine volcano, No. 74634, you are the nearest, go to rescue immediately...]

   [There was a storm on the 63rd crater, and the collector team in the nearby sea immediately evacuated...]

   [The waters near the No. 32 submarine volcano are flowing abnormally. This is a precursor to the appearance of a tornado pillar. I immediately dive to the sea to avoid disasters...]

   [Collected from the No. 265 crater, large-scale thunderstorms occurred on the water surface, and volcanic activity tends to be frequent...]

   [The enemy has noticed you, it seems that the team’s goal is still too conspicuous, so we will act as individuals in the future to avoid gathering behavior...]

  ……

   [The collection of materials is almost the same. There is only 7% of the movable space left in the huge underground cavity. It seems that this kind of busy day will be over soon...]

[...It would be bad if the octahedron is discovered by the other party before it is formed. Although based on the current intelligence, the other party cannot detect the actual situation in the ground, but you are not afraid of ten thousand or just in case, and you need someone who can temporarily divert the other party’s attention Opportunity...]

   [Collectors, you form a large cluster, go to the waters 20,000 kilometers away from here to collect organic materials on a large scale...]

  【...Gatherers, don't blame me, only the victor is qualified to talk about mercy. As long as you can live, you can give up whatever it is. 】

  ……

   The memory information stored in the genes was wave after wave, continuing the planet's three day and night changes, and it was over at noon on the fourth day of the planet.

   During this process, the collectors remained motionless, and the gourd-shaped body was undulating in the sea, like a dead thing.

   Waking up from the huge amount of memory information, the collector was finally able to observe this new world that was frozen and thawed again.

   The water temperature is not as good as before, but after all, it is much better than the sub-zero temperature...

   There are various types of microorganisms everywhere in the water, which also means that the amount of organic materials collected is huge...

To sum up, the collectors prefer the current environment, because the current environment is more stable than that of the ancient times, there are no bad volcanoes, and they will not fall into the crater without paying attention when swimming, and the wind and waves are not the same as before. Big.

  The collector let himself into the ocean current, and he is also actively agitating the drainage cavity to increase the thrust in the water. Its memory tells it that this way can make it travel faster in the water.

   has traveled nearly four to five hundred kilometers, and the collector no longer remembers how many rounds of day and night he has gone through. Its brain capacity does not allow it to do so, and genetic memory does not record information other than this kind of knowledge.

   Finally, it entered the temperate zone of the planet, and the life field and the life field covering the huge system of the planet converged.

   We lost—the collector thought so, because it no longer felt the supreme will above the whole.

   After the war, the Supreme Will disappeared. Isn’t the answer obvious?

   However, this information does not affect its thinking, the reason is very simple ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ its brain capacity is too small.

   As in the ancient times, organic materials are collected and put on the rhizomes in order to obtain special amino acids that can be fully absorbed by oneself.

   This long journey, although relying on the special supply of amino acids collected from the ocean to survive, but the density of this amino acid in the sea is too small, in short supply, the collector's physical condition is deteriorating, in fact it has reached its limit.

   Now, this torment can finally be regarded as over-the collector thinks so.

   However, the reality has disappointed it. The rhizomes did not respond. Working cells that can combine organic materials were born, making Hogu no longer need to eliminate microorganisms from the ocean to obtain organic materials.

   After all, this kind of behavior may affect the evolution of species once the time is extended to the ten-thousand-year scale.

   Moreover, Huogu, who couldn't feel the existence of the collectors at the time, mistakenly thought that they were all gone, so after solving the supply and demand of organic materials, it took the initiative to let the rhizomes sever the mechanism of no more demand.

  The brain of the collector is small enough to make it understand why the rhizome does not give it food. It can only repeat the futile and useless work, delivering organic materials to the rhizome, time and time again.

   The crisis of death is approaching step by step, and the electrical signals of hunger circle in my mind.

  Finally, the increasingly weakened gatherer lay down on the rhizome, which was huge compared to it, and opened and closed his mouth in vain...

   Everything seems to be over like this.

  The closer you are to death, the more you can feel the preciousness of life. What follows is fear, and the more eagerness to live, and this emotion is called ‘survival’.

   Whether it's a miracle of life, or an accident.

   The shackles on the imprisoned collector were broken away by it.
