Buzz!
Jia Yan's wings buzzed like helicopter rotor blades, emitting a sharp whine!
Then, his body shot up rapidly from the air!
The thudding footsteps approached, but they struck empty air without any dangerous impact.
Jia Yan unexpectedly unleashed his full potential at this moment, dodging the attack!
"Hmm?" The man with glasses felt somewhat surprised. It wasn't that he was surprised he couldn't swat the mosquito; it was just that the mosquito's flight speed was beyond imagination, which was surprising.
This individual was quite interesting. If captured for study, who knows what discoveries might be made!
"Damn! The medicine is taking effect!" Jia Yan's body wobbled as he flew near the ceiling.
The man with glasses below reached out to the side, picking up a capture net with an elongated handle.
With so many animals captured by them, there were definitely plenty of similar capture tools around.
Seeing this, Jia Yan quickly flew towards the iron door!
"You can't escape." The man with glasses wielded his tool, opening the iron door to pursue.
Jia Yan felt extremely uncomfortable all over his body. The purplish-red medicine began to churn in his abdomen, initiating transformations and mutations in his organs. Normally, this would be the time to find a place to endure this pain, but now was not the time at all!
With the man with glasses chasing from behind, getting caught would surely mean death!
Trouble never comes alone. Just as Jia Yan was about to shake off the capture tool in the man's hand, another office door in front of him swung open!
The person had a tall and sturdy figure, looking somewhat bewildered at the moment.
He was Dongbei Yehu!
"Boss, catch that mosquito! It's mutated!" The man with glasses scooped with the capture net, but Jia Yan's eyes were fixed on him. Seeing his movement, Jia Yan swiftly dodged aside, letting the capture net come up empty!
"Oh?" Dongbei Yehu's gaze narrowed as he focused on Jia Yan.
He returned to the office, grabbing a capture tool.
It had to be said that this place had been plagued by insects for a long time, with most rooms equipped with capture tools!
Enduring the discomfort in his body, Jia Yan prayed for the mutation medicine to take effect a little longer while vigorously flapping his wings to fly forward.
Snap!
Dongbei Yehu's office room opened again. He grabbed a capture tool just like the man with glasses, but this person was tall and robust. As soon as he stepped out, he extended the tool towards Jia Yan, who had coincidentally flown to the front of his office door!
Distracted by feeling the intense pain throughout his body, Jia Yan didn't expect a huge capture net to come at him!
"Descend!"
Jia Yan's wing-flapping motion to fly forward suddenly turned into a downward plunge.
Because his body contained a large amount of purplish-red medicine, Jia Yan was extremely heavy. This plummeting action naturally completed very quickly, allowing him to evade Dongbei Yehu's capture net!
However, the descent was too fast, and Jia Yan couldn't control his altitude. This descent led him to fall right in front of Dongbei Yehu's face...
Dongbei Yehu was also slightly surprised, seeing this enormous black mosquito barely ten centimeters away from his eyes, looking oddly beautiful.
The next moment, he reached out with his left hand and grabbed towards Jia Yan's body!
How could he possibly catch a mosquito with just one hand?!
With a buzz of his wings, Jia Yan suddenly flew upwards!
Dongbei Yehu's large palm missed its grab!
Breaking through Dongbei Yehu's final barrier, Jia Yan was like a wild horse breaking free, swiftly flying through the corridor.
Behind him were two men in hot pursuit.
"He can't escape. There's no exit here, and he'll definitely slow down once the effects of the medicine wear off!" The man with glasses followed behind Dongbei Yehu, panting.
But at this moment, Jia Yan flew into a room with an open door!
The two men hurriedly followed.
However, when they entered the room, all they saw was this enormous Asian tiger mosquito descending and squeezing through a gap in the torn window screen!
"Oh no!" Dongbei Yehu took a big step forward, reaching out to grab Jia Yan, who was squeezing through the hole in the window screen!
"I told you, how could you catch a mosquito with just one palm?"
At the moment when Jia Yan was about to be caught, he forcefully pushed with all six of his legs!
His entire body squeezed out of the window screen, and outside was the vast night sky. He spread his wings and quickly flew into the dark night!
Inside the window screen, Dongbei Yehu's empty hand had already turned into a fist, his face darkening.
Not even able to catch a small mosquito, Dongbei Yehu felt utterly ashamed.
"This room is supposed to be a dormitory. Find out who sleeps here. I don't know why the door was left open, and from now on, all the windows should be closed with no screens. Use fans if it's too hot!" Dongbei Yehu grunted in annoyance as he turned back and returned to his office.
Jia Yan flew in the night sky, surrounded by darkness.
Having escaped the dangerous situation, he was filled with a sense of relaxation, but at the same time, the terrifying impact of the medicine was still there.
Jia Yan's body trembled violently, and his wings almost stopped flapping.
"You can't stop flying yet! This is still within the factory area. Fly farther!" This mosquito, with its round belly filled with medicine, flew unsteadily in the air, sometimes ascending and sometimes descending, completely unable to control its direction.
Jia Yan felt stabs of pain all over his body. His six long legs trembled violently, and his wings would flap one moment and stop the next.
"I can't go on!"
He couldn't bear it anymore after flying about twenty or thirty meters outside the factory wall.
He plunged downwards!
His vision was already blurred, and Jia Yan's body was in pain, his consciousness fading.
He vaguely saw a hole-like space and plunged straight into it.
Pain!
Intense pain!
The pain was still so strong, still giving him the sensation of being on the brink of death.
"Persist! You've endured it before, there's no reason you can't endure it now!"
"Jia Yan, you can definitely do it! Once you endure this pain, you'll immediately become stronger!"
"Your lifespan will increase, your strength will be greater! Think of the good things!"
"Maybe you won't be afraid of bats anymore, or even small birds in the future!"
"This is such a good thing right in front of you. Why not endure a little pain!"
"You can do it! You can do it!"
The dark mosquito struggled and wriggled in the hole.
As the night passed, bright sunlight appeared outside the hole.
But the small mosquito inside the hole continued to fight for its life!
Flipping and struggling, its body twisted strangely!
Some peculiar substance flowed down its exoskeleton surface, then the exoskeleton seemed to expand, cracking little by little!
Fresh
material quickly filled the cracks, but the next crack appeared!
All the internal organs were boiling!
It felt like every cell in the body was dividing, undergoing intense mutation!
Under the scorching sun, Jia Yan was still undergoing drastic changes!
His body was covered with a thin layer of substance. Under this substance, his body seemed to melt entirely. Under the transparent exoskeleton, almost visible internal organs were present.
These internal organs were also changing, countless damages unfolding at the cellular level. These damages caused significant changes to the entire genetic structure, making it more perfect but also more painful!
Jia Yan's consciousness had long been plunged into a semi-comatose state.
In his hazy state, he thought of many things and dreamed of many things.
His memory seemed to return to the past, to the days when he was human.
In college, every day besides searching the internet for biological information, he studied animals lost in the river of history. These were Jia Yan's greatest joys in life.
While studying what he liked, he waited, hoping that one day, the goddess in his mind would call him and invite him somewhere to talk about animals and plants.
Going further back, it was his middle and high school days.
In school, everyone loved sports, animation, and computer games, but he was silent, only interested in holding biology textbooks, reading with relish.
It seemed there was a time when he was bullied, but on the day when he suddenly erupted in the classroom, beating a classmate who had taken his backpack, leaving him bloodied, all the bullying ended.
It seemed that there was a trace of impulsiveness deep within him.
Going back further, Jia Yan arrived at elementary school.
At that time, he had to take care of his younger sister, who was also attending elementary school. They went to school together every day, and sometimes, as they walked, his little sister, Jia Lin, would start crying because she was upset.
There was no choice. His sister was three years younger than him, still a child!
During those times, he thought of these things, and then he would comfort Jia Lin without any complaints.
"Brother, a mosquito bit me!" Little sister cried.
A mosquito?
Yes! I'm not human anymore; I'm a mosquito!
In his mentally fuzzy state, Jia Yan suddenly snapped out of it!
Wasn't this a flashback? They say that before people die, they have flashbacks like a carousel, reliving their entire lives.
I'm also experiencing flashbacks. Does this mean I'm going to die?!
Am I going to die!
No, I won't!!
I absolutely refuse to die!
After finally finding Dongbei Yehu's factory from thousands of kilometers away, enduring so many dangers during this period, and spending two days searching in the forest!
With wit and courage, after finally obtaining enough purplish-red medicine for the second mutation from the man with glasses' laboratory, expending so much effort, I can't just die like this. I refuse!
Jia Yan roared in his heart!
End the flashback, give me an end!
I don't want to die yet!
All the illusions, shatter them all! I don't want memories; I just want now, I just want to live well now!
"I absolutely won't die!"
The roaring in Jia Yan's heart almost materialized.
Plop!
It seemed like something had burst, perceived in Jia Yan's auditory organs...
Crack...
Crack, crack...
A series of cracking sounds kept ringing out.
Jia Yan exerted all his strength, twitching his six legs.
Crack, crack, crack!
The cracking sounds intensified.
