Bootleg of evolution

ontact to find food, Observer simply need to look at a direction to tell the location of food. When food was spotted, Lin would make one of the other cells swallow it.

As Lin gobbled up more food, its group of cells grew. Lin found as long as the number of cells increased, its thoughts would become sharper and it would know more words.

Once the number of cells reached fifteen , the surrounding food was exhausted.

It was now time to move on to a new location.

Lin put observer in the center of the group of cells, and had the surrounding cells circle it.

Lin wandered around the blue world, slowly growing on the way. It found it had not encountered something new for quite a long time.

The only things in its sight were water and food. Other than that, there was nothing.

Strange…

Just when Lin thought this, it saw something special.

The thing appeared above the observer cell. It looked strange, being dark and round. It was probably only thirteenth of the size of one of Lins cells and was covered in spikes.

Should it eat it? Maybe it was food.

Lin made one of the cells go near the mysterious object, and then swallowed it.

Initially, Lin didn feel anything different. The object shook slightly inside the cell, and didn seem to get digested.

Suddenly, Lins cell started to twitch, and the originally healthily cell started to shrink. The spiked object began to move and plunged into the nucleus of the cell.

Lin started to feel a feeling it never felt before.

This was the first time it felt this feeling, but unlike before, it was not interested in this feeling. In fact, it wanted to get rid of it.

Is this… pain?

As the object penetrated into the nucleus, Lins thoughts were heavily impacted.

It hurts…. it hurts!

Finally, the nucleus of the cell shrank like the membrane of the cell, and the pain faded. At the same time the pain stopped, Lins connection to the cell was lost.

Did it die? Is it dead?

Lins cells surrounded the dead cell, Lin did not know what to do with it.

Dead… this was a new word which echoed through Lins thoughts.

It seemed that it wasn over yet though, as the dead cell began to swell up, and burst open. The black spike balls which caused the death of Lins cell rushed out.

There were at least thirty of these spike balls, more than the number of cells Lin had. One of the spike balls penetrated one of the cells membrane. Just like the cell before it, this cell shrank quickly.

”Im going to die, die, die, escape, fight back? Escape, run away! ”

Looking at the spike balls, countless thoughts flashed through Lins mind.

Lin retreated.

It had cells swim away from the spike balls as quickly as possible.

The spike balls didn seem to move autonomously, so they didn chase after Lins cells.

Lin kept swimming away until it couldn see any spike balls.

Just now, what was that? Those spike balls…

After confirming that it was now safe, Lin began to recall the situation.

It learned a lesson from that experience, the world didn just have food and strange object which gave it vision. It also had horrible things which could kill it.

It had to be more careful, Lins consciousness was produced by its cell population.

As long as one of these cells existed, its consciousness would also keep on existing.

But on the contrary, if there are no cells left, it would be the end of the creature known as Lin.
