How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 2 Spores

who I am?

Where is this?

The moment this living body subconsciously recognized the 'self', two questions like these popped up.

The surrounding environment, darkness is the theme, absolute darkness, without a trace of light.

The living body can feel that he is being held by certain forces and is constantly moving, either up or down, forward or backward, left or right, sometimes making a sharp turn, or under the conflict between two forces, Being thrown in a direction where you don't know where you will go, there is no pattern to follow.

Where am I going?

Such doubts still surfaced in the subconscious of the living body.

In this world of absolute darkness, living beings are not the only existences, and there are many things in the absolute darkness all around.

In this world without light, life forms cannot understand the concept of 'seeing', but this does not prevent life forms from recognizing the existence of objects in the dark.

Under those turbulent forces, things in the darkness often collided with life forms, and then separated under the coercion of forces.

The emergence of the subconscious mind can't bring about any changes to the living body. It has been so muddled since its birth, and it has always been like this.

Chaos and chaos, as if there is no future, as if everything today is the whole of this world.

This continues until the living body comes into contact with some unexpected visitor.

This contact is different from those in the past. This unexpected visitor did not separate after the collision, but was tightly attached to the living body. Even those ubiquitous forces could not separate them. fit split.

For the first time, the living body felt a 'sense of crisis', which was a warning signal from its subconscious mind, which was calling it—run away! run!

It is not only the subconscious mind that exerts force, but also the pure biological instinct is also urging - your life is being threatened, act quickly, if you don't act, there will be no chance!

The living body moved, and this time it was no longer being carried around by those turbulent forces, but instead used these forces to change its position, as if the plan was to use this method to throw off the guy attached to it.

Unfortunately, this move was in vain.

The living body can feel the 'foreign body' invading the 'inside' from the outside.

At this very instant, the living body not only didn't feel that it had lost anything, but instead possessed more, and some kind of shackles it had been carrying seemed to be untied.

"There is no sign of massive replication...fortunately...it is a mild phage..."

The living body thought this way in shock, but other questions followed.

"...what is 'replication'?"

"What is a 'temperate phage'?"

The living body doesn't understand why it expressed these things, it was completely subconscious behavior just now.

Unable to understand these questions, the living body gave up thinking.

With the previous incidents, some changes have taken place in the action pattern of the living body. It is no longer resigned to the fate of those forces, but instead actively rides on these flowing forces and advances aimlessly.

What is the purpose of doing this?

The living body doesn't know either, it just does things by instinct, and instinctively feels that what it does is correct, as for why it is correct, it doesn't think about it.

The change of the living body this time is not only a change in the action mode, but also an impact on the perception of the living body-it finds that it can see its own interior clearly, not as before, It is pitch black, and the cognition of the world is only a point centered on itself.

The shape of the ball is like a balloon filled with water. During the conflict of those forces, it changes shape, and returns to its original shape after the force disappears.

The soft outer membrane plays a role in maintaining the internal stability of the living body and protecting the shape in those power conflicts.

The core is a mess, like a sphere of instant noodles, located in the center of the living body.

This is what life is all about.

"This is... a cell?"

Such cognition subconsciously emerges from the living body, followed by questions and confusion.

"What is a 'cell'?"

Of course, there is no clue, it is just a single-celled organism, and it is already a biological miracle to have such a cognition.

"Live..."

The living body has established its own goal, which is the goal driven by the purest instinct above thinking.

Under this kind of desire, the core of the mess inside began to become loose.

The living body can see that the helical bimolecular chains are stretched straight, like a ladder, and then the ladder is divided into two from the middle, split into two incomplete single chains, which are free between the core and the outer membrane The material in between is consciously pulled, and combines with the cleaved single chain to form a new double chain.

A double-stranded helix, forming a core, both cores co-exist within a single cell.

The extra core irritates the adventitia, which expands to expand the original adventitia volume.

After an unknown period of time, this instinctive behavior of the living body finally reached the final step—a thin film appeared between the two cores, and a single cell completely became two individuals.

Thus, the self-replicating behavior of the single cell is completed.

At the moment of completion, a strange feeling emerged in the living body, just like the bacteriophage encountered before, a certain shackle was opened, as if the beast trapped on the ground had grown wings and soared above the blue sky, like a disabled person. The patient completes his own body and can move independently—how free.

However, this situation did not last long.

When the living body and the duplicate body were separated by those surging forces, the strange feeling also disappeared. The wings of the beast were broken and fell back to the ground again. The disabled were lost again and could not live alone.

Locked and re-attached.

"It's terrible..."

The living body is instinctively tired of this feeling, no life likes to be bound, and after feeling the freedom after being 'unlocked', it is impossible for a living body to be satisfied with the current situation with a contrast, even if it has been born since its birth. Stay in this environment all the time.

It instinctively began to call out to the duplicate body, hoping that the duplicate body could come back and return to the previous state of 'fitting' each other.

But this is useless, its call is just the biological current inside the self, and the life body that cannot transmit information is just an isolated island, and it is impossible to call back the separated duplicate body.

So, does life experience just give up?

Of course not, life is free, and life always finds a way out.

The life form started its new attempt.
