According to the research of the Fortress scholars, the production methods of the Dark Children can be described as "eclectic".

So the discovery of viviparous organisms is not a particularly strange thing. But if it's tied to some kind of ritual, it's enough to get noticed.

Looking at the huge organ that might be the placenta, Han Shu said with a look of disgust: "This thing is simply like it was born for some purpose, Ji Yu, we have to find it." Maybe you can get relevant clues from it. ”

Ji Yu sighed: "Captain, you are increasing my workload, and I request that this part of the work be included in the calculation when the task is settled." ”

Han Shu didn't object: "No problem, you just let it go." ”

The woman looked at the puddle of black mud on the ground, and her eyes fell on the windowsill where the thing had left: "Don't you want to go outside the building to breathe?" ”

Han Shu was the first to walk out the door: "Lao Tzu doesn't want to stay here for a long time, I think about it, when the mission report comes to write down this matter." Four Eyes should give us some extra contribution points for our tormented nose. ”

Ji Yu nodded happily: "Captain, you occasionally come up with some good ideas." ”

Han Shu laughed.

Tianyang and Cang Du exchanged glances with each other, but the latter suddenly turned his head like an electric shock, as if he would be infected with some disease if he looked at Tianyang for one more second.

Cangdu flicked his horsetail and strode out of the door.

Tianyang shrugged, and the last one came behind the window outside the door. Behind the window is a small yard with a shed. The shed had collapsed, crushing some unnamed debris.

The footprints that stretched out of the house, towards the shanty, were only footprints stained with black mud, and they were becoming mutilated and faint as the distance stretched.

Han Shu and the others came to an alley behind the shack, and the footprints spread more than ten meters forward, and then disappeared completely.

Ji Yu took out tweezers and a small test tube bottle from his multi-purpose waist bag. There was a pale blue liquid between the bottles, which looked like some kind of potion.

Tianyang watched as she crouched down, using tweezers to pick up the solidified black particles from some footprints and put them into the test tube. After shaking vigorously, the liquid in the bottle turns lilac.

Ji Yu took out a small bottle of sprayer, she used a syringe to extract the liquid in the test tube, then injected it into the sprayer, and finally sprayed it on the ground.

Han Shu next to him said softly: "If there is a sublimator of the Harmonizer rank, it will be easy." Those guys have the ability to track, and they can easily find the clues they want, but unfortunately, we don't have this kind of class, not one. ”

On the other side, the rain carefully sprays the pavement, walls, street lights, garbage bins....

A moment later, traces appeared in all corners. It was all purple marks that formed a new set of clues.

Ji Yu shook the sprayer in his hand: "The things consumed can be reimbursed, right?" ”

Han Shu covered his forehead and said, "Okay, it won't be missing you, hurry up and work." ”

Ji Yu hooked his fingers: "Come with me." ”

Although not as convenient as the Conciliator, the Hunter class also has some tracking ability. Soon, following the clues found by Ji Yu, the four of them left the complex alleyway, walked onto the street, and came to a place similar to a community square.

There is also a dilapidated fountain, a dilapidated pavement with tiles, and only solidified soil remains, and no grass is visible in the flower beds that were once used for greenery.

Some of the surrounding public facilities were either covered with thick ash or scattered into various irregular parts, and next to a device that resembled a rambler, a figure suddenly came into everyone's sight.

Tianyang and Cangdu raised their assault rifles almost at the same time, but Ji Yu boldly walked over and shook his head: "Don't be nervous, it's already dead." No, it's ...... Does it take off the shell? ”

"What kind of thing, even if it's going to come out of its shell?" Han Shu strode over, and the light in his hand fell on the body of this thing.

Tianyang and Cangdu also walked over, and the two youngest people in the team looked at the ground curiously.

It was a humanoid creature, at least with human features on its upper body, with a humanoid head and hands, but its head was exceptionally large.

In particular, the back of the head grows and extends to the back, and it looks like some kind of large pupae.

Its lower body resembles that of some kind of reptile, with a short but thick tail and four short legs, like a seven- or eight-year-old baby.

No baby has four legs.

This thing has been hardened, just like Ji Yu said, it's more like a kind of shell. The shell is torn from the forehead to the tail, with a slit in the middle of the crust, and the gap is surrounded by transparent mucus.

Judging by the distribution of the mucus, and the traces of their dragging, it seems that something has been brought out of the shell.

Ji Yu collected the mucus from the part, put it in a test tube, and threw it into his waist bag.

"Viviparous, but shedding its shell like a bug, it's like a demonic masterpiece." Han Shu held up the lighting tool, and under the light, the liquid remaining on the ground was extending outside the community square.

"It's evolving fast."

Ji Yu stirred the slime with a twig, and when he lifted it, he pulled out a transparent liquid filament: "These things haven't solidified yet, which means that it has not come out of the shell for a short time." From birth, to this community, no matter how slow it is, it will not take an hour. ”

"It came out of its shell in an hour, and it was clear that it had entered the second stage of evolution. If we look at it according to the growth period of human beings, it has entered the juvenile stage from infancy, and I don't know how long it will take for it to enter the youth stage. ”

"But I think we'd better find it quickly, no matter how you look at it, its movement speed and range should grow with evolution. We're likely to lose it because of it. ”

Han Shu asked, "Then what are we waiting for?" Dinner is still three hours away, and I hope that before then, we can at least figure out where the 'newborn' has gone. ”

Ji Yu nodded: "Follow me." ”

In the vicinity of this community, there is a clearly planned building. The shape, height, and layout are exactly the same, like an apartment dormitory in the upper area of the fortress.

Tianyang guessed that this should be the residential area of the townspeople. That is, the buildings are almost next to each other, unlike the apartment dormitories of the fortress, and there is at least a few tens of meters between each building.

In this way, the permanent population of this town should have been quite large, after all, they lived in a high density. It is possible that the population of a town is about the same as that of Optimus Castle.

From the other side, it is not difficult to see how prosperous the adversity was before it slipped into darkness.
