Inside The Black Mist Chapter 73: Rapid evolution

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

So the discovery of viviparous organisms is not a particularly strange thing. But if it is connected with some kind of ritual, it is enough to attract attention.

Looking at the huge organ that might be the placenta, Han Shu said with a look of disgust: "This thing seems to have been born for a certain purpose, Ji Yu, we have to find it. Maybe we can get it from it." Relevant clues."

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

Han Shu did not object: "No problem, just let it go."

The woman looked at the black mud on the ground, and her eyes fell on the window sill where the thing left: "Don't you want to breathe outside the building?"

Han Shu was the first to go out the door: "I don't want to stay here for a long time. Let me think about it. When the time comes, the task report will have to write down this matter. The four eyes should be for our tortured nose. Give us some extra contribution points."

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

Han Shu laughed out loud.

Both Tianyang and Cang exchanged glances, but the latter suddenly turned his head away as if he was electrocuted, as if he would be infected with some disease if he looked at Tianyang for a second longer.

Cangdu flicked his ponytail and strode out the door.

Tianyang shrugged, and was the last one to come to the outside window. Behind the window is a small yard with a shed. The shed has collapsed, and there are some unnamed sundries under it.

The footprints extending from the house are heading towards the hut, but they are only footprints stained with black mud, becoming incomplete and thin with the extension of distance.

Han Shu and the others came to an alley behind the hut, and their footprints spread for about ten meters before disappearing completely.

Ji Yu took out tweezers and a small test tube bottle from her multifunctional pocket. There is some light blue liquid between the bottles, which seems to be some kind of potion.

Tianyang watched her squat down, picked up the solidified black particles from some footprints with tweezers, and put them into the test tube. After shaking vigorously, the liquid in the bottle turned lavender. Ji Yu took out another bottle of small sprayer, she used a syringe to extract the liquid in the test tube, then poured it into the sprayer, and finally sprayed it on the ground.

Beside Han Shu said softly: "If there are sublimators with the rank of reconciler, it will be easy. Those guys have the ability to track, and they can easily find the clues they want. Unfortunately, our Sky Fortress does not have There is no such class."

On the other side, Jiyu carefully sprayed the road, walls, street lamps, trash cans....

After a while, some traces appeared in every corner. Those were purple marks, and these marks formed a new set of clues.

Ji Yu shook the sprayer in his hand: "Can you be reimbursed for the consumed things?"

Han Shu rubbed his forehead and said, "Okay, I won't miss you, hurry up and work."

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

Although it is not as convenient as a reconciler, the hunter class also has a certain tracking ability. Soon, following the clues Ji Yu found, the four of them left the complicated alleyway, walked up the street, and came to a place similar to a community square.

There is still an incomplete fountain here, and the pavement paved with floor tiles has long been dilapidated. In the flower beds used to be green, now there is only solidified soil, and no grass can be seen.

Some of the surrounding public facilities are either covered with thick dust, or scattered into various irregular parts. Next to a device similar to a walker, a figure suddenly entered everyone's sight.

Both Tianyang and Cang 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 dead. No, it's... The shell it took off?"

"What the **** is it still shelling?" Han Shu strode over, and the light in his hand fell on the thing.

Tianyang and Cang also came over, the two youngest in the team looked at the ground curiously.

This is a humanoid creature, at least its upper body has human characteristics, with a humanoid head and hands, but its head is extremely large in proportion.

Especially the back of the head, which grows and extends to the back, looking like some kind of large chrysalis.

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

It's just that no baby ever grows four legs.

This thing has been hardened, just like Ji Yu said, it is more like a shell. From the forehead to the end of the shell, there was a gap in the middle, and around the gap, there was transparent mucus.

Judging from the distribution of the mucus, and the trails they drag, it seems to have been brought out of the shell by something.

Ji Yu collected mucus from the site, put it in a test tube, and threw it into his pocket.

"Viviparous organisms shed their shells like bugs. This is simply a masterpiece of a devil." Han Shu held up the lighting tool, and under the light, the liquid remaining on the ground was extending outside the community square.

"It evolves very quickly."

Jiyu stirred the mucus with a branch, and when he lifted it, he pulled out strips of transparent liquid: "These things have not solidified yet, which means that it has not been out of the shell for a long time. From birth, to this community, even No matter how slow it is, it will not take an hour."

"Shedding within an hour clearly entered the second stage of evolution. If we look at the growth period of human beings, it has already entered juvenile stage from infancy. I don't know how long it will take for it to enter adolescence."

"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 will probably lose it because of this."

Han Shu spread his hands and asked: "Then what are we waiting for? It will be dinner time in three hours. I hope that before that, we can at least figure out where this 'new baby' has gone."

Ji Yu nodded: "Follow me."

Near this community, there is an obviously planned building. The shape, height, and pattern are exactly the same, resembling the apartment dormitory in the upper area of ​​the fortress.

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

From this point of view, there should be a lot of permanent residents in this town, after all, their living density is very high. It is possible that the population of a town is about the same as Qingtianbao.

From another perspective, it is not difficult to see how prosperous the reverse world was before it slipped into darkness.
