How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 65

Chance is a major feature of this universe. It was born unexpectedly, but at the same time it is limited to reason. It seems absurd and ridiculous, but once you dig deeper, you can't find any unreasonable things at all.

Some people also say that it is inevitable, and chance does not exist at all in essence. It is an event that must occur based on countless inevitable events, but it is just outside the scope of people's expectations.

When a dice rolls a six, is that by chance? Or is it inevitable?

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

The towering glaciers fell off and disintegrated piece by piece, becoming part of the sea.

At this time, some inconspicuous individuals also woke up from the severe cold, and fell into the ocean together with scattered large ice crystals.

Compared with ice below zero, liquid sea water above zero is extremely warm.

Somehow, it seems that all beings will ask their own questions, which appear in the thinking of small individuals-who am I?

A question that has no beginning and no end, and some human beings who like to turn horns into horns have even spent their entire lives looking for the answer to this question. However, the small individual is different from those people, it already has its own answer.

【Your species is different from 'Gourd'. Although they are similar in appearance, they are fundamentally different. There should be a new name...】

【…The original purpose of designing you is to collect enough organic materials, so from today onwards, you are called 'gatherers'. 】

This is a memory engraved on the genes, and it is by no means something that can be forgotten so easily.

Before the small individual observes the surrounding environment, the huge memory in the gene is like a tidal wave impacting its rudimentary thinking structure.

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

[Very well, your collection experience has reached the qualified standard, and you can join the collection team...]

...

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

[No. 96564 collector team is trapped by rocks near submarine volcano No. 182, No. 74634, you are the closest, go to the rescue immediately...]

[Storm weather appeared in the crater of No. 63, and the collector team in the nearby sea area evacuated immediately...]

[The flow of the water near the No. 32 submarine volcano is abnormal. This is the precursor of the appearance of the tornado column. Immediately dive to the bottom of the sea to avoid disaster...]

[Collecting from the 265th crater, a large-scale thunderstorm appeared on the surface of the water, and the volcanic activity tended to be frequent...]

[The enemy has noticed you, it seems that the target of the team is still too conspicuous, and we will act individually in the future to avoid gathering behavior...]

...

[The collection of materials is almost done, and there is only 7% of the movable space left in the giant underground cavity. It seems that soon, this busy day will be over...]

【...It would be terrible if the other party discovered the octahedron before it was formed. Although according to the current information, the other party can't detect the actual situation in the ground, I'm not afraid of ten thousand or just in case. I need someone who can temporarily divert the other party's attention Opportunity...]

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

[... Collectors, don't blame me, only the victors are qualified to talk about mercy, as long as you can survive, you can give up no matter what. 】

...

The memory information stored in the genes has been wave after wave, and has continued for three days and nights of the planet, and it is not over until noon on the fourth day of the planet.

During this process, the collectors remained motionless, their gourd-shaped figures floating up and down in the sea water, like a dead object.

After waking up from the huge amount of memory information, the collector finally has the ability 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...

The water is full of all types of microorganisms, which means that the amount of organic material collected is huge...

To sum up, the collectors prefer the current environment, because the current environment is more stable than the Hadean period, there are no bad volcanoes, they will not fall into the crater if they are not paying attention when swimming, and the wind and waves are not as strong as before. big.

The gatherer lets itself enter the ocean current, and 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.

Traveling nearly four to five hundred kilometers, the collector can no longer remember how many rounds of day and night it has experienced. Its brain capacity does not allow it to do so, and genetic memory will not record information other than this kind of knowledge information.

At last, it enters into the temperate zone of the planet, and the life field and the life field covering the huge system of the planet are intersected.

We lost - so the gatherer thought, because it could no longer feel the supreme will over the whole.

After the Great War, the Supreme Will disappeared. Isn't the answer obvious?

However, this information cannot affect its thinking, the reason is very simple, its brain capacity is too small.

Just like in the Hadean period, collect organic materials and put them in rhizomes, in order to obtain special amino acids that can be fully absorbed by oneself.

Although this long journey was barely managed by relying on the special amino acids collected from the ocean, the density of this amino acid in the sea was too low, and the supply exceeded the demand.

Now, this suffering can finally be regarded as the end - the collector thinks so.

However, the reality disappointed it, the rhizome did not respond, and working cells capable of combining organic materials were born, which made Hogu no longer need to kill 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 scale of 10,000 years.

Moreover, Huogu, who couldn't feel the existence of the collectors at that time, mistakenly thought that they were all extinct, so after solving the supply and demand of organic materials, he took the initiative to let the rhizomes cut off this mechanism of no longer having demand.

The forager's brain is too small for it to understand why the root is not giving it food, it can only repeat the futile task of delivering organic material to the root, over and over again.

The crisis of death is approaching step by step, and the electrical signal of hunger hovers in his mind.

Finally, the increasingly weak gatherer lay down on the huge rhizome compared to it, opening and closing his mouth in vain...

That's how it all seemed to end.

The closer to death, the more valuable life can be felt, followed by fear, and the desire to live even more, and this emotion is called "desire to survive".

Call it a miracle of life, or a random accident.

The shackles that imprisoned the gatherer... were broken free by it.
