"Coo …"
A strange scenery appeared in Lin's field of vision.
This place was surrounded by transparent liquid, but she couldn't see anything outside of the liquid, only the occasional sound of bubbles allowed Lin to see objects that weren't part of the water.
This was the vision of a miniature troop, but it was currently located in a place that Lin didn't know about, inside the strange water.
Other than this miniature troop, there were also a lot of cells floating in this place.
The water here wasn't just water, there were also a lot of tiny fragments that could provide energy to the cells. Lin had the troops here absorb some of the surrounding energy, while the miniature troop began to scout around.
Miniature troop types were usually multicellular creatures, so they had a lot more mobility.
[Observing, testing activity]
All of a sudden, Lin heard a sound. When she looked up, she could see a large blurry shadow outside the transparent water.
Lin had one of the multicellular minions swim upstream, and the black shadow became clearer and clearer.
However, when it was about to become clear, the miniature troop type couldn't move forward anymore as it ran into a transparent wall.
Following that, the miniature troop type swam in a different direction, but soon ran into another wall. After many tests, Lin found that this place was surrounded by walls.
[Observation target i is attempting to escape] At this point, the voice outside called out again: [Target is trying to determine an escape route, every time the location is different, looking for a possible escape route, confirming intelligence of Mao Yu level]
[How could this thing be as tall as Mao Yu?] another voice called out: [It's only coincidentally bumping into things]
[I don't agree with you, it's moving very purposefully]
[How could it move purposefully, it doesn't even have a brain!]
[During battle. They're moving at a large scale, in a group. You've seen it for yourself]
[That's only because of some sort of collective signal]
Lin listened to the two voices outside. At the same time, she could see that there were two shadows outside, from the shape of their bodies, they seemed to be amalgamations.
Furthermore, they seemed to have 'personalities', these two amalgamations clearly had different personalities, yet they were still arguing with each other.
"Movement detected. Beginning observation." Another voice called out from outside: [Amalgamation speed, very fast, confirming intelligence. But still can't confirm if they're the same species as observation target i]
[This is a sponge amalgamation] Another voice said, "It's just a simple, low-level action. In this completely sealed crystal box, they've lost contact with the outside world. They can only do simple actions."
"This action is not simple. What does it mean …"
Completely sealed? Why was he able to hear their voices so clearly?
However, Lin could confirm that they were trying to study Lin's cells. Lin had thought of such a situation before. Just like how Lin would study the various things left behind by her 'creator', the 'creator' would also want to study Lin …
But perhaps they were afraid that it would be too dangerous to capture a large troop class. Therefore, he was looking for tiny cells, and this behavior had started a long time ago.
The cells and miniaturized soldiers here were specially collected.
In the midst of war. Many of the scattered cells and microbes in the black fog were collected.
During the battle, there were some strange crystalline structures that didn't fight, but wandered around the edge of the battlefield. These structures had the fastest speed, and they specialized in collecting fragments of war nearby.
However, when Lin first saw them, she thought that they were only collecting their own fragments, including the scattered crystals and so on. They completely ignored Lin's fragments.
But now, Lin believed that they were only pretending. Even if they didn't collect them on purpose, the crystalline structures would still have a lot of Lin's miniaturized soldiers or scattered cells.
Then they could just bring them back …
However, if they didn't study the large troop class and only studied the cells, they would enter a state of confusion. They wouldn't even be able to confirm whether or not the black fog microbes and Lin's cells were the same species.
Because the black fog microbes were very special.
The black fog microbes weren't all the same troop class, but rather like the plankton in the sea, there were over a hundred different species inside, ranging from just a bit bigger than a cell to a few centimeters in size, some of them had very large differences.
Under normal circumstances, no creature would think that the black fog microbes were the same species if they saw them.
Because of that, these two fused creatures began to argue here.
The main issue was the question of species, as well as whether or not Lin's cells had intelligence.
What Lin was doing right now was relatively simple, like gathering cells. In fact, sponges could also do this.
If a sponge was crushed into individual cells, they would gather again and form a new sponge.
The personalities of these fused creatures were very similar to the skeletal dragon. Lin believed that they might have absorbed the skeletal dragon's memory and personality, and most importantly, they were also speaking the skeletal dragon's language.
Lin needed to think of a way to get out of here, and then slowly study them …
Lin felt that this wasn't the 'creator's' country, but an island floating in the sea of clouds, but there should be a lot of interesting things here.
"Enough, stop fooling around." Suddenly, Lin heard a third voice: "Begin the next phase, open the second box."
The second box?
While Lin was puzzled, another voice rang out, and Lin felt a stream of water flowing in from the left.
So that's how it is. Did another box connect to it?
With that in mind, Lin had a microbe swim over there, and a round hole appeared on the originally transparent wall …
The microbe flowed through the hole and entered the 'second box' they were talking about.
The contents of the second box seemed to be very different from before.
As she wandered around, Lin noticed a lot of crystal fragments on the walls and bottom of the box, and they were giving off a strange smell.
"No reaction." the voice outside called out: "We can confirm that they're not of the same species, continue."
After that, Lin felt a strange sensation again, as if the crystals were releasing some very small signals, but there was no specific information.
"Still no reaction, are you sure this is the correct target?" "Absolutely." "If you're sure, there should be some kind of attraction effect."
As the fused creatures outside discussed, Lin had a general idea of what they were trying to do.
They seemed to be trying to use this smell and small signals to attract Lin's microbe army. If it was an Inca insect swarm, they would have been attracted, this was very similar to how they normally transmitted information to each other … but Lin didn't feel anything special.
"It has the ability to think, it won't be attracted by a simple method." Of the three fused creatures, only one of them seemed to have guessed Lin's intention.
"How is that possible? Begin the next phase." However, the other two didn't seem to believe her. Then, Lin felt a large amount of pheromones being released by the crystals.
These pheromones seemed to be created based on the pheromones of the Inca insect swarm. Lin still didn't do anything, she just observed her surroundings.
Lin wanted to find out how they were observing the situation here.
With that in mind, Lin looked around … Could it be this thing?
The microbe swam to the bottom of the box, and here, Lin found a round object embedded in the ground.
And this object would appear at regular intervals, it seemed to have some kind of fine observation ability. This was quite a powerful feeling, because it seemed to be able to observe the entire environment of the box. Furthermore, Lin's microbe was only the size of an amoeba, so it was normally invisible.
"It's observing this place." the voice outside said: "It's suspicious of this location."
"How could it be suspicious of something so small? It just happened to swim here. Continue the experiment, if we can find a way to attract it, we can create a weapon specifically targeting it."
Then, Lin felt a large amount of substances being released by the crystals, but even if they were to experiment for a lifetime, it would still be useless.
"Strange, why is it useless? Could it be … How is this possible? "The synthetic creature outside was very confused, but it suddenly changed from confusion to extreme shock.
Because Lin had the microbe draw some words on the observation device using mucus.
It wrote: "I know you."
"Hurry, hurry up!" "This is beyond our expectations!" "We have to deal with it, deal with it!"
The synthetic creatures outside seemed to be in a panic. They screamed and fiddled with something.
At the same time, Lin felt the water here start to deteriorate, the crystals at the bottom released a large amount of toxins.
Strong toxins filled the entire water tank, including the first box Lin was in.
Lin's cells and minions were soaked in the toxins … They slowly lost their vitality and sank to the bottom of the water.
"Looks like the rumors are true. You have to be careful when dealing with them … I understand."
The synthetic creatures outside were still observing the situation inside the box. They seemed to be relieved when they saw that the microbes inside had stopped moving.
"Continue to observe the changes and see how it reacts to death." "I understand."
Just like that, a long time passed, they continued to observe the poison-filled water tank. Even when they found that the biological activity inside had completely stopped, they continued to observe without leaving.
Until several days later, the situation inside was exactly the same as when the toxins were first released.
"There won't be any valuable information left, so let's get rid of it, but we need to be careful."
