light...

Lin saw light, but all it saw was light. This was just replacing the previous darkness with a piece of light, which was meaningless...

Lin needs more detailed information, more detailed images, so she can see everything.

Just when Lin thought this, the cell that had eaten the hard object trembled slightly, and more tentacles for connection stretched out from the nucleus.

There was no longer light or darkness in Lin's mind. Slowly, blurry images appeared. At first, they were just very muddy colors. As time went by, this muddiness gradually began to become clearer.

Blue... was the color Lin saw first, and then she saw several spherical objects floating in this blue.

Are those... my cells?

As the image became clearer, Lin could clearly see the appearance of her own cells, with almost transparent membranes and gray cores, slowly floating in the water, swaying with the waves... It felt very interesting and strange.

It's nice to have eyes.

Lin observed her four cells around her, plus the cell with the 'eye', there were five in total.

But it couldn't see what its own eyes looked like, so it decided to let the cell divide first, so that it could know what the cell that brought it vision looked like, and what the hard object it had swallowed before was.

.

So Lin set out again to look for food.

Because it has eyesight, it can see the surrounding scenery clearly, but except for a few of its own cells, the surrounding scenery is all blue.

This is the color of water.

Suddenly, Lin's eyes saw something, a white, round thing appeared in front of its cells.

This white thing feels soft and soft, and its size is only one-fifth of Lin's cells. It feels exactly like the food before. Was this the thing I had been eating before?

Without hesitation, Lin let the cells with eyes eat it.

After digestion was completed, Lin continued swimming.

Because it had eyes, it quickly discovered more white round foods. It didn't take long for Lin's eye cells to collect enough energy to divide.

Feeling that the cells with eyes began to split into two, Lin felt a little excited so that it could see what her eyes looked like.

Excited? Lin found that there was a new word in her thoughts. What did it mean?

That doesn't matter anymore, the split is complete now.

"?"

Lin couldn't see herself. It discovered that there was still only one perspective in her thoughts, and the cells that split from the eye cells were right in front of her...

But it has no eyes, and Lin cannot receive any images from this newly divided cell.

Doesn't division include the eyes?

Lin didn't understand, but she discovered that the cells divided by eye cells were somewhat different from other cells.

There seems to be a small area on the surface of the cell's membrane that reflects a bright white light, giving it a special feeling.

crystallization?

Yes, that's the word. There is a small area of ​​crystallization on the surface of the newly divided cell membrane.

But Lin didn't know what the meaning of this was. She couldn't feel that there was anything special about this small crystal. It wasn't an eye either, because it couldn't see.

So, it continues to act. If it wants to gain more knowledge, it must expand its group.

There are now six cells in total, and Lin directs them to swim forward and continue to look for more food.

Lin planned to give it a special name for that eye cell...

observer.

It feels good...

For the first time, a three-letter word appeared in Lin's thoughts, and it was used as a name.

The observer uses vision to find food. It is much more convenient than before when it needed contact to know where the food is. It only needs a simple look to find the location of all the food around it, and then other cells will go to devour those foods under the command of Lin.

food.

While devouring and dividing, Lin grew and grew her cell community. Lin discovered that as the number of cells increased, her thoughts became broader and she knew more words.

The number of cells has reached fifteen, and the surrounding food has been exhausted.

Now, it's time to move on to the next new location.

Lin uses the observer as the center of the group, and the surrounding cells form a circle, so that it can eat any food that comes close to it immediately.

Lin swam slowly, slowly growing and thriving in the blue world. However, after this action continued for a while, it found that it had not encountered anything new for a long time.

Water, white, round food.

Apart from that, there was nothing else, and the hard objects that gained vision after eating them were never seen again.

It's strange...

Just when Lin was thinking this, it suddenly saw something special.

That thing suddenly appeared above the observer's cell. It looked very strange, black and round, about one-thirtieth the size of Lin's cell, but it was covered with sharp,

Something like a thorn.

Let’s eat. Maybe it’s food.

Lin brought a cell close to the object, then opened its cell membrane and swallowed it.

At first, Lin didn't feel anything special. The object swayed slightly in the cell membrane, but was not digested.

But then, Lin's cell suddenly trembled like a twitch. The originally swollen and transparent cell membrane suddenly shrank, and the strange black object with spikes began to move and penetrated into the nucleus of the cell.

among.

A feeling that she had never experienced before entered Lin's thoughts.

This was the first time Lin felt this feeling, but Lin didn't find it interesting at all and wanted to avoid it.

Is this...pain?

As the object penetrated into the cell nucleus, Lin's thoughts were strongly impacted.

It hurts...it hurts so much!

Then, the cell nucleus shrank like the outer cell membrane, and then Lin lost the feeling of pain. At the same time, it also lost its connection with the cell. It could no longer feel it or control it.

Dead? It's dead?

Lin's cell colony surrounded this dead cell. Lin was stunned there, not knowing what to do or what to do.

Death, this extremely fresh word echoed in Lin's thoughts.

However, it seemed that it was not over yet. The dead cells suddenly expanded again, and then exploded violently. The black thorny balls that had just caused Lin's cells to shrink and die rushed out from them in large numbers.

There were at least thirty of them, more than Lin's cell community. One of the thorn balls touched a closer cell of Lin's. The thorn ball penetrated into the cell membrane, and then the cell became like before.

Just like that, it shrank rapidly.

Will die, will die, will die, run away, run away, run away, fight back, run away, run away

Seeing a large number of black spiked balls coming towards her, countless thoughts flashed through Lin's mind.

Lin, ran away.

It allows cells to quickly swing their cell membranes away from these thorn balls as quickly as possible.

The spiny balls seemed unable to move on their own and could only move when they came into contact with cells, so they could not catch up with Lin's cells.

Lin kept running away until she couldn't see any black thorny balls.

Just now, what was that? That spiked ball... what on earth was...

After confirming that it was safe, Lin began to think about the situation just now.

Just like before, Lin should get a new word to correspond to the new situation.

But unfortunately, it seems that due to the loss of cells, Lin did not get new words.

But it also learned a lesson. This world is not only filled with soft food and strange objects that allow it to gain vision, but also terrifying things that can destroy it.

It must be more careful, Lin's will is generated by the entire cell group.

As long as a cell exists, its consciousness will also exist.
Chapter completed!
