As the college boy lurked closer to the factory, Jia Yan also stealthily approached the perimeter fence again.
The next steps were for Zhang Shiming to take on his own; Jia Yan couldn't assist him with every move.
As a mosquito, he had done enough.
Under the cover of darkness, it was the easiest time for infiltration.
Jia Yan flew into the factory along the blind spots of the cameras he had located last time.
He keenly sensed that the factory's defenses were tighter than before.
You could say there was a sentry every three steps and a guard every five!
In the distance, Jia Yan saw the college boy also climbing into the factory from outside the perimeter!
He quickly subdued a factory security guard patrolling in a remote area!
"Good, I'm looking forward to you causing chaos!"
Jia Yan was very satisfied with his decision to help this boy earlier; it seemed like he wouldn't disappoint.
Since the student still had a gun on him, he probably wouldn't be caught before making a big scene!
So, what Jia Yan needed to do was prepare for the chaos in the factory!
After thinking this through, he spread his wings and flew towards the location of the PVC pipe he had found before.
The night in the factory was still filled with the sounds of machinery, providing excellent cover for intruders. For now, it seemed that the risk of the college student being caught was low!
After making sure that the guards hadn't noticed Zhang Shiming's intrusion, Jia Yan relaxed and flew into the drain cover filled with holes!
Below was the half-person-high sewer!
It was still filled with flowing chemical waste.
Even though the waste seemed harmless, with its disgusting milky appearance, no one would willingly come near it.
Naturally, Jia Yan flew high to avoid contact as he moved forward.
There seemed to be one or two gunshots outside!
The commotion outside seemed to be earlier than he had imagined.
A glint of cold light flickered in Jia Yan's compound eyes!
He increased his flying speed!
Meanwhile, in the factory workshop, where Jia Yan's destination lay, the situation had already become chaotic.
Several workers had seen the "director" accompanied by seven or eight "administrative staff" heading towards the outside in a menacing manner in the afternoon.
Not long after, shouts and rebukes came from the jungle.
Soon after, a middle-aged man and woman were apprehended within the factory.
This scene made the workers, who had witnessed it, even more paranoid due to the recent incidents of bug bites over the past few days.
They feared whether this factory they worked in might have some hidden agenda. If it was a government institution or a legitimate company, why would they arbitrarily arrest people?
They recalled how they entered the factory by being blindfolded, seemingly entering a tunnel-like place before finally reaching the interior of the factory.
Why would a factory need to be so secretive?
They wondered if Xiao Li and Lao Chen were safe!
As the already somewhat distrustful workers heard the gunshots, they couldn't help but become even more anxious.
"What's that sound? Are there people setting off firecrackers in the factory?"
In the workshop, a middle-aged worker with keen ears raised his head.
"Indeed, it doesn't sound like firecrackers. Could it be... gunshots?"
"Let's pause and listen at the doorway."
Some vigilant workers stopped their machines. After all, everyone had been speculating about what the factory was really doing these days. If it involved drugs, it was only a matter of time before the police raided the place.
Now that they heard what sounded like gunshots outside, these jittery people couldn't stay put.
Someone took the lead in stopping work, and naturally, the other workers on the assembly line couldn't continue either, so they all left their positions.
They all headed towards the main entrance on the ground floor!
Meanwhile, in the dark pipe connected to the sewer, a huge Asian tiger mosquito was flying upwards.
"The gunshots have started, I must accelerate. Based on the conversations I overheard from the workers, they already have suspicions about this factory. Some are even considering escaping. Even if they don't recognize these as gunshots, hearing unusual noises might prompt them to take action!"
"Even though the workshop hasn't stopped working, Northeast Wild Tiger will definitely intervene and say something to them! People like him always consider contingency plans, and that will be my chance!"
"I don't have much time; just ten minutes should be enough, no! Maybe five minutes will suffice!"
That's what Jia Yan thought.
His goal was just some purple-red liquid medicine.
For a bit of purple-red liquid, he had gone to such lengths, which was really quite extraordinary!
Jia Yan emerged from the second-floor workshop once again.
Then, a different gleam flashed in his compound eyes!
There were actually no workers in this workshop!
Jia Yan tried to steady himself.
He made as little noise as possible as he crawled out of the observation port!
A huge cylindrical machine stood before him!
There were two exits: one led to the pipe discharging waste towards him, and the other led to the opposite second floor!
This must be finished or semi-finished products.
Jia Yan's gaze flickered, and he crawled towards the exit leading to the second floor!
Flying would make too much noise, and nearby workers would surely notice!
He hoped they wouldn't return too soon. Jia Yan prepared himself for full flight; if anyone returned to the workshop, he would fly up without caring about being seen and escape back into the pipe!
After all, everyone here knew about the existence of mutated creatures.
Jia Yan thought about many things but overlooked one thing: considering Northeast Wild Tiger's personality, would there be no surveillance cameras installed in the workshop?
That was absolutely impossible!
So, at this moment, his stealthy movements were clearly visible on a monitor in the surveillance room!
If the security guard in the surveillance room saw it, they would definitely inform Northeast Wild Tiger, who would then send someone to drive away and kill Jia Yan, the giant mosquito!
But...
At this moment, there was actually no one in the surveillance room!
The four people who appeared in the afternoon had already exerted too much pressure on Northeast Wild Tiger's forces, and now that the escaping student had attacked the security guard outside, the security guard in the surveillance room had received an urgent notification and gone out to reinforce!
It's hard to say whether this was Jia Yan's luck or if he had prepared sufficiently, and helping Zhang Shiming infiltrate the factory was the right decision. Anyway, Jia Yan hadn't been discovered by the surveillance, and he had come to the other exit of the cylindrical machine!
He found that there was a switch beside this exit, and it wasn't very big, seeming like it would require just a little force to flip!
Jia Yan used all six of his long legs to climb onto the switch and exerted force towards the "open" side!
With effort!
There was a bit of movement, but it hadn't been fully flipped yet!
"Give it more force!" Jia Yan used all six of his long legs, exerting their maximum strength!
After his second mutation, Jia Yan's strength had become tremendous. He didn't know how strong he was now; he only knew that he had surpassed the limits of his own physique. This purple-red liquid seemed to be something that allowed
organisms to surpass their limits, as it always made Jia Yan exceed his own limits!
So, this time, with a forceful push, the switch, which was originally meant for humans to flip, began to move slowly!
"Not enough, a little more! Keep going!"
Jia Yan's six long legs were trembling as they exerted force. Three were pressed against the switch, and three were pressed against the metal beside it, making it easier to exert force. But with his explosive strength, all six long legs were shaking!
The switch was slowly moving.
Finally, after crossing a certain threshold!
Snap!
The switch was abruptly flipped to the "open" side!
Due to inertia, Jia Yan's mosquito body fell from the exit platform!
But in less than two seconds, the buzzing sound began. Jia Yan, falling, had to spread his wings in mid-air and fly up again.
Making a little noise was better than falling and rolling around in urine and feces.
He returned to the exit platform once again.
After the switch was flipped open, a metal plate slid open under the mechanical force.
And the space beneath the metal plate was directly exposed to Jia Yan's sight.
There was no medicine, only a metal tunnel.
"Go in!"
Jia Yan looked around. It seemed that the workers wouldn't return immediately. After considering it, he decided to enter the tunnel!
Jia Yan believed in the ancient saying "fortune favors the bold"!
Since his rebirth, he had encountered too many dangers and made too many risky decisions, but now, the results he obtained were unimaginable for a mosquito. This was inseparable from the adventurous spirit inherent in him!
Since he had decided to continue on this path of strength, he couldn't be scared off by a little danger!
Therefore, after swaying a few times, Jia Yan suddenly entered the mechanical tunnel below the metal plate.
As Jia Yan entered the tunnel, the gunshots outside instantly became more intense!
How did a college student who didn't know how to shoot a gun manage to cause such a commotion in the enemy's lair?
This student was indeed an extraordinary teammate.
Jia Yan silently thanked this boy who had successfully diverted the enemy's attention for him.
The tunnel beneath the metal plate was not very large, just a square metal pipe with a diameter of about ten centimeters.
Jia Yan looked ahead. It was where the cylindrical machine had stopped!
"If there's still chemical waste being discharged from here, then whatever's inside must not be finished products, and it might even be toxic due to the chemical waste..."
So Jia Yan gave up entering the cylindrical machine and turned around to climb towards the other side of the exit space!
That way should lead to another building.
Jia Yan remembered that the defense of the other building was tighter, and this was evident from the architecture. Of the three buildings established decades ago, this one was the most tightly wrapped and looked the most like a secret research base!
The purple-red liquid medicine was produced there.
What secrets might this place hold?...
Jia Yan climbed along the tunnel towards the most mysterious building.
