And that was the cry the plumbers emitted within the office!
Subsequently, the plumber stumbled back from within the pipes, falling to the ground in fright. ∽↗Top∽↗∽↗∽↗,..
The others hadn't yet had the chance to inquire when they witnessed a pair of dark, gleaming elongated legs clinging to the pipe wall, with a massive head emerging from the opening being worked on!
Instantly, they were all struck with fear!
"Alas, I didn't intend for it to happen this way. But I've been waiting within the pipes for a day already. If I didn't seize the moment when they opened the pipe, who knows when I'd have another opportunity!"
Jia Yan looked at the few workers around him, sighing deeply with a sense of resignation.
Previously, he had hoped to avoid attracting human attention. But now, barely emerging, he had no choice but to be seen by the factory personnel. Fortunately, the factory workers had some resistance to oversized mutated organisms, and they wouldn't spread any news. So, his primary task now was to find the right opportunity to escape from the factory workshop.
Meanwhile, the layered steel doors of the workshop emitted the sound of opening!
The serious expression on Northeast Wild Tiger's face emerged from beyond the gradually opening large doors.
"Charge!"
At the same moment, Jia Yan's compound eyes gleamed!
Northeast Wild Tiger, who had just opened the workshop doors, hadn't yet reacted.
He only felt a colossal creature fluttering towards him!
Startled, he quickly stepped back.
Meanwhile, he attempted to close the workshop doors!
But it was too late!
Jia Yan's body darted through the partially opened doors with a narrow margin.
"A mosquito?!" Northeast Wild Tiger saw this gigantic creature and instantly identified its species!
He had been kept awake at night by mosquitoes recently. First, a mosquito about one or two centimeters long had stolen purple-red liquid in his subordinates' laboratory a few days ago. The two of them had chased it for a long time but ultimately failed to catch it!
Later, he was even more furious when a mosquito about ten centimeters long interfered with his subordinates' attempts to capture escaping university students and teachers. It had disrupted their plans. Otherwise, his factory wouldn't have ended up like this!
And that wasn't all. There had been an explosion in the factory workshop, and there was also a big mosquito causing trouble at that time. Of course, the explosion had little to do with it.
But so many incidents were related to big mosquitoes. Northeast Wild Tiger couldn't help but wonder if he had somehow provoked a nest of mosquitoes. Otherwise, why would mosquitoes be involved in everything?
Of course, he had also considered whether those mosquitoes were the same one, but as soon as this idea came up, he dismissed it himself. How could a mosquito change its appearance three times in a day? Even if it could mutate, going from one or two centimeters to ten centimeters in size wasn't that exaggerated!
And now, this super-giant mosquito was even more absurd!
Ordinary mosquitoes were just a few millimeters long.
And this one... my goodness! Its body alone was twenty-five centimeters long, thousands of times larger than a regular mosquito!
The ten-centimeter mosquito he had seen before was nothing compared to this one! That one was a friend, but this one was the ancestor of all mosquitoes!
Northeast Wild Tiger couldn't believe that the super-giant mosquito in front of him was the same one he had seen before.
Jia Yan pushed open the door, and his compound eyes glanced at Northeast Wild Tiger, with a hint of cunning in them.
This person had once threatened his life, and Jia Yan was eager for revenge.
But it wasn't the right time now. The workers behind him had also reacted, wielding tools and sticks, and were chasing after him.
Jia Yan felt less threatened by this group of humans than when he was pursued by the purple scorpion before.
His biological instincts told him that the danger posed by these humans wasn't even comparable to that posed by the purple scorpion.
But Jia Yan wouldn't blindly trust biological instincts!
What worried him most was the firearms Northeast Wild Tiger carried! If these people didn't have firearms, Jia Yan even had the confidence to kill several of them and then leave calmly!
But of course, it was time to leave now to avoid more trouble later!
As expected, as Jia Yan fluttered out of the workshop door towards the outside world, Northeast Wild Tiger quickly drew a pistol from his belt!
It was another knockoff version of a well-known foreign handgun.
Jia Yan had been paying attention to the movements behind him all along, as the compound eyes of insects had a much wider field of view than humans!
When he saw Northeast Wild Tiger draw his pistol, he felt a chill in his heart!
Although he was confident in his defensive coagulation, he couldn't be sure if his wings could withstand bullets.
Jia Yan quickly made his wings flutter, changing direction in the air!
Bang!
Northeast Wild Tiger fired his gun!
The gunshot terrified the maintenance workers who had run out of the workshop, making them too scared to approach.
In that instant, Jia Yan felt a chilling sensation all over his body, an instinctive feeling of danger that made his movements more than twice as fast!
Jia Yan didn't know if this sense of danger came from his mutation or from his biological instincts.
He only knew that recently, he had become increasingly aware of danger, especially when he was targeted by a gun. It felt like every hair on his body was standing on end!
His slanted flight speed suddenly increased!
Then, a bullet, invisible to the naked eye, grazed Jia Yan's mosquito body, flying high into the sky!
It missed!
Northeast Wild Tiger's expression changed slightly!
His marksmanship might not be impressive compared to experts, but it was decent enough. Especially against such a large target at close range, he had thought he had a good chance of hitting it.
But who would have thought that this giant mosquito would actually know how to dodge!
Was this still a mosquito or a mosquito demon?!
Northeast Wild Tiger raised his pistol again.
But the airborne Jia Yan had already changed direction, flying towards the corner of the building at an extremely fast speed!
By the time Northeast Wild Tiger chased after him, all he saw was a massive flying figure several dozen meters away, disappearing into the forest...
"Such a rapid acceleration! Is this still a mosquito?!"
Northeast Wild Tiger stared in astonishment at the huge mosquito that flew tens of meters in just a short turn.
A mosquito of this size theoretically couldn't have grown so big even if it had consumed the liquid from his factory, let alone fly so fast with its wing flapping! It was comparable to a large bird.
"It must have come out from that passage! It must have."
Northeast Wild Tiger was certain that Jia Yan had appeared from the passage, and only that place where the giant purple-waisted wasp had crawled out could produce such bizarre creatures!
Compared to the giant wasp with a length of about half a meter, this mosquito was nothing, and that giant wasp wasn't afraid of bullets! If it hadn't been for the limited damage resistance of its wings, Northeast Wild Tiger would have died
in the ruins of the factory long ago!
"That was close!"
Jia Yan's tubular heart was beating rapidly as he flew into the forest. Now that his heart had mutated, its ability to pump blood had become much stronger.
It was really dangerous just now. Jia Yan had initially known that passing through the cracks in the factory to return to the outside world would be a risky process, but he hadn't expected to face gunfire!
Compared to before, he had been caught at most with a net by Northeast Wild Tiger.
But this time, the other party was so scared that they took out a gun directly, indicating that Jia Yan's appearance had greatly increased his deterrent power!
But this fright, coupled with the intense wing flapping, brought out the problem of insufficient oxygen intake on the ground surface.
At this moment, his body felt a little weak.
"I forgot to breathe again when I was nervous just now. I must develop this habit, or it will be troublesome when I'm short of oxygen during intense exercise!"
Jia Yan controlled the muscles on both sides of the "air intake holes" on his abdomen, quickly using the "breathing" function to replenish oxygen.
"But at least I'm out now! This factory may no longer serve any purpose for me other than as a passage to the underground world for the next time..."
Hiding in the bushes, Jia Yan gazed around the factory scenery with his compound eyes.
When he emerged from the passage just now, Jia Yan once again smelled the extremely strong scent of purple-red liquid.
The fragrance was still so refreshing, but Jia Yan didn't have the slightest desire to absorb it anymore!
He knew instantly that the purple-red liquid no longer had any effect on him!
Jia Yan's emotions were somewhat complicated. After all, the factory was the most important part of his rise, directly contributing to his current strength and unpredictability!
"No, there are still things I need in the factory!"
Jia Yan thought of the ferocious 'black liquid'!
If anything could be more powerful than the mysterious liquid from the underground world, it would be the black liquid extracted by the factory from the underground world air and refined!
Whether it was the purple-red liquid or the mysterious liquid, it seemed that they only enhanced Jia Yan's own abilities.
But the black liquid had a powerful transformative function!
It not only strengthened Jia Yan's coagulation defenses but also caused many beneficial changes in his body's organs!
Its transformation of Jia Yan's body was the most intense and thorough!
"So, should my next step still be to obtain this black liquid?" Jia Yan's compound eyes flickered with thought.
Just as Jia Yan was making some plans and thoughts!
Click!
The dry fallen leaves were gently crushed underfoot, with the sound of footsteps echoing faintly not far away.
"Huh? Who's there? How could someone bypass my mutated antennae hearing and get this close?!"
Jia Yan was startled, immediately shifting his compound eyes' gaze!
A slender human male stood not far from Jia Yan.
He was observing the huge mosquito nestled in the foliage with great interest.
"Wow, there really are mosquitoes this big. How fascinating."
The middle-aged man muttered this sentence into his walkie-talkie.
"Addict?!" Jia Yan's eyes widened as he immediately recognized the face he had seen before!
This person seemed to be a very, very powerful assassin!
Escape!
In the next moment, an unprecedented sense of crisis arose in Jia Yan's heart!
An intense feeling of danger made him instinctively flap his wings at the fastest speed!
Swish!
"You can't escape!"
At the same time, the addict raised his arm, and the black muzzle of the pistol aimed at Jia Yan, who was about to fly away!
Bang!
Gun smoke filled the air! The gunshot rang out!
