"They have vision in dark environments," Meckel the mentor shook his head, "It looks like we're in trouble."
"We still need to do another test," Malin said as he removed the crossbow arrow from the insectoid corpse and then headed toward the neighboring farmstead.
The two mentors, bewildered, followed him.
This time, Malin pulled out a shock grenade, didn't bother knocking, and threw it through the window.
It's not like the farmstead was likely to have glass windows; they all used lattice wooden windows and cloth curtains. Once the shock grenade entered the room, it exploded with a loud bang.
Malin and the two mentors observed the surroundings and, seeing no insectoids bolting out of the door uninvited, felt reassured enough to open the door. Looking at the insectoids that had collapsed on the floor, Mentor Aemet Sayer personally conducted an autopsy on one of them, confirming that the insectoid embryos were dead inside: "What's the principle behind the shock grenade?"
