Ten or so seconds before Xia Fei entered the weapon depot, a short middle-aged man, no taller than one meter, was led by a worker of the academy into the passage.
As a mite, Mengen had a black skin that no other member of his species had. Even among the mites, this was a very rare skin color. It was said that only one in every million mites would be born with a skin color that was not white. This was due to a mutation, and the darker the skin, the greater the degree of the mutation.
Mengen's skin was steely pitch-black; he was the first in the history of mites to have black skin. This meant that his level of mutation was extremely high.
Humans had no idea that, as soon as the first war between humans and insectoids ended, the insectoids started their mutation process. Not only did more and more intelligent insectoids begin emerging, they even had appearances closer and closer to humans.
