The evolution of Zerg

Chapter 5 The War Between Cells

And he also knew that this place was a crater, the opening left by the extinguished volcano.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan shed a cold sweat in his heart. No matter how much he did, he could not withstand the eruption of a volcano.

The spores were floating in the air, and suddenly he discovered something horrifying!

It turns out that I am not the only life on this planet, but there is actually a community that has developed far beyond myself.

The other side is in a very large lake to the west, so it is more appropriately called an inland ocean.

Zhang Fan's spores fell into the moss, and he was surprised to find that the other party had evolved into ferns.

Is this the original life on this planet? Zhang Fan said to himself.

But the good times did not last long, Zhang Fan was absorbed by the moss on the ground and turned into nutrients.

There is another thing that worries Zhang Fan even more, because there is life in the ocean.

This put the pretentious Zhang Fan in a bit of a dilemma.

What should we do? Attack from the front and back.

There should still be many life communities, Zhang Fan thought, and they must start to eliminate small communities. The ocean is currently an area that he cannot touch.

But what to do? Without the strength to transport, one can only wait to die.

Spores are the most basic way of spreading, but they will definitely be destroyed once they fall into the enemy's territory.

correct! Virus!

Zhang Fan suddenly thought of the virus.

Viruses are a non-cellular life form. They are composed of a long chain of nucleic acids and a protein shell. Viruses do not have their own metabolic machinery or enzyme systems.

Biological viruses, whether they are virulent phages or mild phages, must be able to replicate and reproduce in living host cells. They use the nucleotides and amino acids of the host cells to autonomously synthesize some of their own components, assemble the next generation of individuals, and reach them. the goal of.

Zhang Fan thought of viruses insidiously and began to make viruses. First, he had to avoid the impact of viruses on his own cells.

Phagocytes are always on standby and can eliminate uncontrollable factors as soon as possible.

After a series of experiments, the probability of failure was very high, and Zhang Fan finally developed the first-generation original virus after consuming an unknown number of cells.

It was a bit of a spoof and was named T-Virus.

The movement mechanism of this T virus is not complicated, and Zhang Fan found that he could control it.

After the T virus enters the cell, it absorbs nutrients in the body and then reproduces, which can quickly cause cell death. It is not large, only about one-tenth of ordinary cells.

Countless viruses were taken away through spore detonation.

This is a world where only I am qualified to be the master! Zhang Fan thought to himself.

Contrary to expectations, viruses in the ocean cannot effectively spread out. The seawater in the ocean contains salt and poor penetration. The virus dies before it starts working.

Some viruses that went north also died because they lacked cold resistance.

At this time, Zhang Fan thought: North? Is there also life?

Life does exist in the north, and its source is the ocean. There are white plants growing in the ice and snow, and even the basic moss is white.

What Zhang Fan has to deal with this time is the Western biosphere.

The moment the spores fall, it means the war has begun.

The chosen spot was still on the moss.

After a little observation of the overall situation, this community is larger in number and richer in species than myself, but most of them are in lakes.

The virus fell to the ground and began to run. The outer walls of bryophytes also had a protective cell membrane, but Zhang Fan had already thought of a countermeasure.

He brought phagocytes and developed some larger spores to store the phagocytes.

The phagocytes are the first to attack, and the opponent is unprepared and is hit by the catabolic enzyme.

Suddenly, a hole appeared in the cell wall. At this time, the other party seemed to be alert and began to close the cell wall.

But can this be resisted?

Before the cell wall could close up, Zhang Fan controlled the virus to instantly transfer into the cell's body.

The other party's moss cells are green, emerald green. They are the real chlorophyll, which is the pigment that Zhang Fan has always wanted but failed.

Don't rush to destroy the opponent's body, control the virus and carefully observe the enemy's internal structure.

The cytoplasm of plant cells can be divided into membranes (plasma membrane and tonoplasm), hyaline and organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, plastids, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, ribosomes, etc.).

The nutrients that the virus needs to absorb are in the hyaline.

Plastid is a unique organelle in eukaryotic cells. It is tablet-shaped, disc-shaped or spherical in shape, with two membranes on the surface. Its functions are closely related to energy metabolism, nutrient storage and plant reproduction.

Looking at it like this, it is much more reliable than its own cyanobacteria. At least the internal structure of the other party is in a golden ratio, while its own plant cells are pinched out by itself.

Suddenly Zhang Fan felt uncomfortable, as if the other party had begun to counterattack.

Where is the counterattack? Zhang Fan observed the surrounding environment.

Got you!

Zhang Fan discovered that there was a particularly tiny bacteria inside the moss cells.

Their image is not the common spherical shape in our lives, but needle-shaped bacteria.

The needle-shaped bacteria launched a charge against the virus, stabbing the surface of the virus one after another.

Zhang Fan couldn't sit still and began to absorb the surrounding transparency.

The needle-shaped bacteria seem to know the crisis and speed up their attack.

But it was too late. When he was halfway absorbed, Zhang Fan began to split, and the splitting process could not be interrupted.

No matter how the needle-shaped bacteria attack, the virus divides as usual.

After the division was completed, the entire cell began to shrivel up, and the needle-shaped bacteria no longer had the ferocity of their origin.

Keep absorbing!

All the nutrients in the cell are absorbed, and the cell dies, along with the outer cell wall.

Not good! Collapse! Zhang Fan was shocked in his heart.

This is the opponent's second attack method. The dead cell wall cannot effectively support the combination of the upper and lower cells.

They started to slowly get closer together, and finally ended up with one for one.

This war must be won quickly. If we encounter the situation just now, if there are phagocytes on the side to support us, we will definitely be able to escape.

The situation at that time was a bit confusing, and Zhang Fan didn't expect it for a while.

Continuing the attack, it was just a trial before, but this time it was a full-scale attack. Countless viruses entered the body of the moss cells and devoured the nutrients inside.

Phagocytes continue to swallow up decomposing enzymes.

The results of the victory are huge. Among the corpses, new spores have arrived.
