The battle of the esophagus was still ongoing. Lin had the cone-shaped cells pile up to form a giant spiked ball that rolled around the enemy army, then had the acid injectors and diggers take care of the remaining enemies. Through this method, Lin had managed to gain a considerable advantage over the enemy.
However, this advantage soon came to an end. A new type of defensive cells had appeared in the round shield worm. In addition to the white cells that were entangled with tentacles, a new type of oblate cells had appeared. These cells were very small, but they would stick to Lin's cells like suction cups and secrete substances like venom to destroy the outer membrane of Lin's cells and eventually kill the cells.
Lin could not effectively deal with these oblate cells that were only one-fifth the size of the basic cells. Gradually, she was at a disadvantage.
Lin's army was now surrounded in the middle of the esophagus. The defensive cells of the round shield worm were everywhere in sight. Seeing that the invasion was about to fail, Lin was not worried because her reinforcements had arrived.
The round shield worm was now motionless. It seemed to be using this method to stop unnecessary activities and consumption so that the energy in its body could be used to defend against Lin's invading cells.
Because of this, the round shield worm did not notice that a few bright red cells had swum into its mouth.
For fear of danger, Lin had kept the number of infected cells to ten. This time, Lin had sent five infected cells into the round shield worm's esophagus.
The infected cells looked like defenseless bright red basic cells. As soon as they entered, they were surrounded by the round shield worm's white cells and were instantly shredded into pieces.
Then, the virus in the infected cells was released. These bright red horrifying things drilled into the white cells, destroyed the cell nuclei, and finally tore open the outer membrane and divided into thousands of viruses.
These viruses continued to drill into the surrounding cells and repeated the same step. The bright red nightmare instantly spread in the round shield worm's esophagus.
The round shield worm that had surrounded Lin's army and was about to win suddenly collapsed at this moment. They were helpless in the face of the virus that suddenly appeared. In order not to become a virus producer, they could only start to retreat. At the same time, they also loosened their encirclement on Lin's army.
The bright red virus began to spread all the way from the entrance of the esophagus. After meeting up with Lin's troops in the middle of the esophagus, Lin planned to follow up with the virus and attack deeper into the round shield worm's body.
The Scarlet Virus would also infect Lin's cells, but it was the same as before. Other than turning Lin's cells red, there was no other effect.
Lin purposely let some cells carry the virus and chased after the round shield worm's defense cells deep into the esophagus.
The remaining viruses continued to ravage the oesophagus that was riddled with holes. Not only did the viruses attack the wandering cells, but they also drilled into the oesophagus wall composed of blue cells and began to spread wildly inside.
Looking from the outside, the round-shield worm twisted in pain again. It shook its head violently and spat out a large amount of blue powder from its mouth, which was mixed with a large amount of viruses.
Then, it clung to the ice wall and went into a motionless state again.
Lin's cell troops chased the escaping cells all the way into the esophagus. Lin noticed that they suddenly turned into a small hole in the esophagus wall. Lin immediately ordered her troops to chase after them.
The passage inside the small hole was crooked. Lin's troops swam inside for a while, but they did not see the escaping cells. While Lin was puzzled, a wall composed of blue cells suddenly appeared in front of Lin's troops.
Is this a dead end? Should I turn back? No …
Attack!
Lin's cells immediately rushed forward. The cone-shaped cells and the diggers drilled holes in the blue cell wall one after another, leaving scars one after another. Then, the acid-injectors sprayed a large amount of dissolving liquid on the wall. Lin intended to crush the wall with brute force!
Under Lin's attack, the wall began to distort as if it was in great pain.
Lin had no intention of stopping. She continued to attack, continuously causing damage to the wall composed of cells. The acid-injectors had even corroded a large hole in the wall. They were about to dig through the wall.
At this time, countless small holes suddenly appeared on the wall, and a large number of cells rushed out. They were the defensive troops that the round-shield worms had escaped from. Lin was still wondering where they were hiding, but she did not expect them to suddenly emerge from the wall, and there was a large number of them.
The virus group in the middle of the esophagus had not spread to this place yet, but many of Lin's cells were red, which meant that they were carrying the virus. Lin directly ordered these red cells to charge at the enemy troops. As long as they were killed, the virus in their bodies would be released.
The red blood cells that rushed forward were instantly stuck by a group of oblate cells. The outer membrane was then corroded by their venom. At this moment, the virus inside suddenly surged out and invaded the oblate cells.
The oblate cells that were invaded by the virus twisted their bodies in pain. Their cores that were invaded by the virus became incubators for the virus, and in the next moment, countless viruses were released.
However, this time, the defensive cells of the round-shield worm did not seem to be so afraid. They only slightly retreated to avoid the virus. Then, Lin saw some strange cells among the group of cells. These cells were different from the oblate cells and white blood cells. They were a third type of cell. There was a structure around their body that looked like a spout. They sprayed out a strange gray liquid from the spout.
The virus that came into contact with the liquid seemed to lose its ability to infect. They could no longer penetrate the outer membrane of the cells and could only wander around aimlessly.
They seemed to be called 'immune cells'? Lin had such a term in her mind. Regardless of whether they were immune or not, she just needed to kill them.
With that in mind, Lin ordered the Devourer to charge at the few cells that were spraying the liquid and chomp them into pieces.
The immune cells were not big and there were only a few of them. The liquid that they sprayed out did not affect most of the viruses. The viruses began to spread and wreak havoc here, drilling into all the surrounding cells and spreading wildly.
The remaining defensive cells immediately retreated into the small hole in the wall. After a while, they came out again with a few more immune cells.
Then, they were all killed by Lin.
The number of immune cells was very small. It was too easy for Lin to kill them. Moreover, the other cells seemed to be afraid of Lin's infected cells that were bright red. They did not even help when Lin killed the immune cells.
After that, Lin's troops blocked the wall where the immune cells appeared. They prevented any immune cells from attacking the virus. As for the rest of the work, it was all left to the virus.
The round-shield worm that had lost its immune cells could not stop the virus. Not only did the virus destroy the esophagus, it also spread deeper into the worm. Lin did not know how long it would take for the virus to kill the entire worm. However, it was easy to guess from the worm's reaction.
At first, the round-shield worm was calmly lying on the ice wall. However, it slowly became agitated. It began to slam its body everywhere and scratched with its limbs as if it had gone mad from the pain.
'Gone mad' seemed to be an interesting word. It seemed to mean that it could not control itself.
Then, the round-shield worm's mouth began to spray out blue liquid. It was made up of a large number of blue cells mixed with many viruses. Then, the two cracks on its shell, which should be called 'gills', also began to pour out blue liquid.
However, that was not the end. Many other parts of the round-shield worm's body began to spray out large amounts of liquid. Just like that, it continued to spray out the cells in its body while it slammed around in pain. After a while, it finally stopped moving and sank to the bottom of the water.
This seemed to be called 'bleeding to death from all orifices'.
Lin had gained a lot of new words. She found it interesting, although she did not understand some of them.
However, the virus was really scary. Its ability to kill cells and multiply infinitely allowed it to kill such a huge creature.
However, if Lin did not block the immune cells, the virus would not have succeeded.
But most importantly, it won.
Although it was a very difficult battle, Lin still won.
