The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 100 The Great Extinction at the End of the Ordovician Period (End)
  The battle situation gradually became physically clear - the large amount of ink released by the "Kraken" dispersed again, allowing the overall battlefield to once again appear in the field of vision of Bing Hao and the three-eyed Hed shrimp.

The swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp and the full-toothed Hurd shrimp were waiting for a long time. They waved their appendages and swung their swimming leaves forward. They slashed with the sword edge, opened and closed their appendages, and continued to clean the surrounding helical stones. .

And before you know it, the sun sets and night falls. In the fierce battle, both sides have forgotten the time and fight from day to night.

There is no moon tonight, but the sky is filled with stars. Although Lin Yi is not familiar with star maps, he can't tell the difference. But for some reason, at this moment, he felt that some stars in the distance seemed a little brighter than usual, which was a bit strange.

But at this time, the battle was still going on, and he had no time to worry about it. The blood was still gushing, and the remaining eight tentacles on the huge body of "Kraken" were still entangled and tearing apart the bodies of the fearless soldiers. broken.

The fall of night did not affect the bloody fighting between the two sides at all. Both Lin Yi and the Anomalocaris nest have compound eyes for night vision, and Lin Yi also has an echolocation system, allowing them to perceive the night as if it were daytime.

The Right Helical Stone Nest Group naturally uses the unknown perception system that can be sensed in the ink - this system seems to be installed on the Inkjet Horned Stone, and also appears on the "Kraken".

The shortcomings of the Straight-Helical Stone Nest Group's weak night fighting capabilities have been filled at some point. Now, under the starry night, most of the troops of the three true social nest groups are still fighting with all their strength.

The huge body of "Kraken" waved its tentacles, still harvesting the lives of fearless soldiers. Just standing in the sea with its scarred body made Lin Yi feel deep despair and powerlessness.

Perhaps when the fearless soldiers were first born, facing an almost invincible and huge enemy, the Zhihejiao Stone Nest Group was as desperate as Lin Yi was now. Nowadays, it's just a matter of retaliation and retaliation.

Groups of sticky self-destructing shrimps swung their paddling feet and moved forward using the water jet propulsion system. Surrounded by them were two nests of fearless soldier shrimps, ordinary soldier shrimps, swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimps and full-tooth Hurd shrimps. Several levels are fully covering their assault.

Countless adult bodies of the Helical Stone also came forward in batches, trying their best to intercept the self-destructing attack on the "Kraken". There are also some who fight with ordinary soldiers and other levels to assist in interception.

As if to heighten the tragic atmosphere, the waves gradually became turbulent, dispersing the thick blood mist, and even made it difficult for an individual in a shallow position to swim actively, and could only be shaken by the big waves.

Even the adult Heliconites and the full-tooth Heard shrimp were affected. Only the largest "Kraken" on the field and those fearless soldiers could withstand the increasingly violent waves and ocean currents.

Upon seeing this, the huge body of "Kraken" slowly floated upward against the current, trying to use the wind, waves and current to block the attack of the smaller self-destruction bomb as much as possible.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yi ignored the rough waves above and controlled the fearless soldiers to follow the "Kraken" and float upward. The ordinary soldier and the sticky self-destruction swung their paddling feet as much as possible to maintain balance in the wind and waves, and continued to approach upward.

The nest group of Anomalocaris was the most affected. It had been floating on the surface of the water to get an overview of the whole situation. The three-eyed Hed shrimp, which provided the vision for the swordfish-shaped Hed shrimp and the full-toothed Hed shrimp, could not resist the wind and waves and was forced to dive downwards.

However, with its streamlined body shape and small-angle swept-back swimming lobes, the swordfish-shaped Hed shrimp is not affected by the swimming ability that can control the wind and waves. Its purple-black streamlined body shuttles through the wind and waves, and even borrows it from time to time. The waves rode like swordfish in later generations, leaping out of the water. Lin Yi also controlled the bodies of Bing Hao and Wuwei Bing Hao to surface, and a pair of compound eyes took advantage of the break in the battle to look up to the sky.

The strong wind blew over the exoskeleton above the water, blowing away the water droplets still attached to the exoskeleton. For some reason, Lin Yi always had a bad premonition that something was going to happen.

Suddenly, above the nine heavens, a bright light suddenly lit up, instantly turning the sky and the earth pale! Then, there was a blazing light that looked like the light of a star, making the sky reflect a large group of faint orange-red.

But at this time, no living creature can watch this scene. The compound eyes had been stimulated to the point of being unable to see for a while, and the right spiral stone nest group also began to bump into each other like headless flies. It was obviously not much better.

The Anomalocaris nest, which relies entirely on vision, is even worse. The compound eyes of the three-eyed Hedrid shrimp were almost blinded by the strong light, and they completely lost their combat effectiveness for a while.

In this chaos, Lin Yi's mind, memories of his past life flashed quickly - at this time, in his consciousness, it seemed as if 100 million "Krakens" were whizzing past, setting off a wave many times higher than the previous one. of turbulent waves.

The fearless soldiers were also thrown into confusion for a while, but it was not because of the strong light, but because Lin Yi's consciousness was completely confused.

The anomaly shrimp nest group and the orthogonal stone nest group may not know what is happening, but not only does he know it, but he also knows extremely well that in the next long period of time, the pattern of the world will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The time is in the late Ordovician period. During this period of time, there was only one possibility left for the mutation that came from the Nine Heavens and seriously affected the earth. That was the first of five mass extinction events in Earth's history - the end-Ordovician mass extinction!
  For marine life in this era, this is undoubtedly a catastrophe.

According to later research statistics, 85% of species fell forever at the gate of the Silurian Period. Trilobites have never recovered since then. Only small rectangular stone thunders remain in the hornstones. At the lower level, bryozoans are represented. The early reef-building organisms also suffered heavy casualties, and the number of brachiopods, graptolites, etc. was reduced by more than half.

The cause was a gamma-ray burst produced by a supernova explosion caused by the implosion of a dying star about six thousand light-years away.

An exploding supernova and the species on a living planet six thousand light-years away are things that cannot be connected in any way, but they are forcibly connected in this way by coincidence.

In a sense, Lin Yi, in his current form of existence, witnessed this grand performance caused by the sunset of a star far away in time and space, which can be regarded as witnessing history. But at this time, he didn't want to witness history at all.

For a moment, thousands of words flashed through Lin Yi's mind, but in the end, they only condensed into two concise and powerful words:
  "Fuck!"
