Chapter 4: Beneath the predator’s skin
Survival of the fittest...
Also known as the theory of natural selection, what does it mean?
It simply means that organisms with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those advantageous traits to the next generation.
This process leads to the gradual evolution of species over time.
Right now, in the face of a new threat, that was all that dominated my mind.
I never went to high school. Ha! That's a luxury exclusive to the rich.
I never learned any of those big-brain stuff, but what I learned in the outskirts was survival. Survival of the fittest? Ah, I know that one, I'm very familiar with it.
This was how I understood what was happening immediately.
This world, no matter how different it was, despite the fact that I was a plant and not a human, it was not that much different from the outskirts where I grew up.
The core principles of survival remained the same. Be smart, be flexible, adapt, and do every goddamn thing you can to survive! Godspeed.
This world already showed me that even here there is no such thing as peace. And just like that, there went my fantasy of living the rest of my life peacefully as a monster plant.
