Several kilometers away, the distance that Jiayan, who had just become a mosquito, couldn't even fly to his death in the beginning!
However, now, for him, those several kilometers were just a half-hour away!
Changes could be said to be earth-shattering!
Jiayan lowered his flight altitude. When he conducted temperature endurance tests earlier, he flew at over seventy meters high, which was a bit too high.
Not only was the temperature lower, but the oxygen content in the air was also relatively low. It wasn't a big deal during the test, but he didn't want it during normal times. Jiayan wasn't someone inclined towards self-torture.
The scenery beneath his feet quickly receded from his eyes. At over thirty meters high, the airspace was higher than most trees, but Jiayan often encountered trees taller than his flying altitude and had to ascend.
Jiayan's current way of flying was already very similar to some birds, mainly relying on gliding for flight.
Only when speed was urgently needed would he flex his muscles, allowing his wings to flap at a high frequency to increase speed. However, this way consumed a lot of energy, and Jiayan wasn't planning to use it unless it was an emergency!
Soon, a scene with flashing lights several kilometers away appeared in front of him.
Tumen City was a small border town, with a population of only tens of thousands including the townships.
So, the county seat of this city wasn't considered large.
Earlier, Jiayan had traveled from Spring City to this Tumen City by train.
But now, returning to the old place again, he wasn't the little mosquito who could only rely on 'hitchhiking' for transportation!
Or should I say, even if he wanted to hitchhike, he had to consider whether he could catch a ride. It was simply impossible for him to blend into trains or cars like he used to.
From seeing the lights in the distance to flying over them, Jiayan took less than five minutes.
He increased his flight altitude once again.
Not just seventy meters, but directly climbing to over two hundred meters high.
The temperature here was lower, but if he reduced his flying speed, the impact wasn't very significant.
At least at over two hundred meters high, the risk of being discovered by humans would be much lower!
After all, from a distance, in the dim night, he looked just like a large bird.
"I need to choose a good landing spot, and I can't delay the descent for too long!"
Jiayan thought firmly.
After several mutations plus the help of mysterious fluids, his compound eyesight was now not much different from humans', and he also had infrared thermal sensing capabilities, so he could clearly see the scenery below from over two hundred meters high.
Next was an important part of his plan.
Jiayan looked down, using his thermal infrared sensing ability to feel the heat signatures of each building!
"This house won't do, too many people!" Jiayan first looked at a house on the outskirts of the city.
Then he shook his head.
He looked at each house one by one.
Some houses were suitable, but there were too many lights around them, and flying with his bulky body would easily attract attention.
He continued to hover.
In the city below, some people did catch sight of Jiayan flying. A little boy even grabbed his mother's hand, pointing at Jiayan's flying figure, seeming to wonder what it was.
But when his mother looked up, there was no flying creature in the sky anymore.
As children's words are often only half-listened to by adults, the mother just smiled and passed it off!
The border town had some distinctive cultural aspects. Even past eleven at night, there were still some people walking around wearing Korean ethnic clothing.
This kind of city was actually a great tourist destination, but Jiayan didn't have the mood to appreciate these things anymore. He just wanted to finish his plan quickly.
Finally, after flying a few circles in the sky, he finally sensed that the owner of a house had left the door open, but the person was nowhere to be seen.
And this house belonged to the old city area, with few streetlights around, so the light sources were relatively poor.
Jiayan flew down, unlikely to be noticed by people!
"A great opportunity!"
Jiayan's compound eyes brightened, and his body tilted suddenly!
Like a fighter jet in a dive attack, he instantly broke through a certain limit. With a 'whoosh' sound, he plummeted rapidly.
He was like a bomb, fiercely crashing down below!
And just as he was about to reach the house, Jiayan's body suddenly contracted, his powerful muscles allowing him to perform a quick stop maneuver.
His body did a graceful spin in the air, reducing the speed of descent!
Then, Jiayan landed lightly on the ground outside the house, with his six legs facing downward!
The surroundings were dimly lit, and Jiayan's menacing body had reflective clusters on its surface, indicating extraordinary defensive capabilities.
Jiayan, this dark-colored giant mosquito, swaggered into the house where no one was present!
Perhaps the owner of this house had just gone out for a while, and Jiayan even heard voices from a few people talking not far from the door, suggesting that the owner might be among them!
In fact, entering someone else's home was a very risky thing to do.
But Jiayan didn't care about that. Moreover, after several teachers and students escaped from the Northeast Tiger Factory, he felt that the existence of giant creatures would eventually be known to the world. So even if he was really seen by someone, it would just be a matter of time being brought forward!
Besides, Jiayan wasn't worried about being caught on the spot by those ordinary humans outside.
He entered the room and surveyed it with his compound eyes.
After examining a room door, he crawled into the room.
Sure enough!
Jiayan could sense from the outside that there was a heat source in this room, feeling like a laptop computer, just as he had guessed!
A small black laptop, about 12 inches in size, was running!
"Sorry, but let me borrow this laptop for a bit!"
The owner might return soon, so Jiayan acted quickly.
He first flew up a bit, controlled his two front legs, and unplugged the laptop's power cord.
Then he opened the standby mode of the computer interface to check if the battery was sufficient and to see if there was a password set!
If the battery of this laptop didn't work, he would have to give up. He didn't want it to run out of power while he was using it.
Even if there was a password set, Jiayan wasn't an expert; he couldn't crack the startup password!
Alright! It seemed that ordinary people really wouldn't set any startup password. Jiayan quickly saw that the laptop computer started normally.
The owner was using a wireless network, which Jiayan was very satisfied with.
No time to waste, Jiayan used his front legs to pick up the mouse and mouse pad, flew around the room, and found a plastic bag used for clothes.
He stuffed the mouse and mouse pad into the bag. Then Jiayan heard a slight noise...
It was the sound of footsteps approaching the house from the front door!
Not good, the owner was coming back!
Jiayan felt a bit impatient, hastily used his front legs again, and forcefully closed the glowing laptop screen!
With a sweep of his right front leg, he directly swept the laptop into the plastic bag held by his left front leg and a pair of mid-legs.
Jiayan's current strength was really great. Compared to before, when he could only push the mouse with his whole body strength, it was as if he had become a different creature altogether!
But this wasn't the time to ponder over these things. Jiayan could clearly hear that the owner of this house had returned and had closed the door with a 'click'!
"Hurry!"
Jiayan's compound eyes flickered, holding up the plastic bag with his left front leg, containing the laptop and mouse.
Since the bag was made of plastic, there was a slight sound when he lifted it!
The footsteps at the door paused slightly!
"The owner heard it!" Jiayan instantly knew that the owner had sensed someone in the house.
Of course, if the owner saw Jiayan, it wouldn't be a human but a giant mosquito monster.
But Jiayan had already obtained what he wanted!
He spread his wings.
With the plastic bag held in his front leg, although this laptop computer was lightweight, it still weighed over a kilogram. Flying with it required Jiayan to exert more effort!
But this weight was nothing for Jiayan now.
He flew with the bag held by his left front leg!
The sound was slightly harsh, emitting a buzzing noise.
"Who?!" The owner by the door finally felt a bit nervous and shouted loudly!
It was the voice of a young person.
But Jiayan didn't care about that. He flew directly to the window of the room. Although the window was tightly closed due to the cold weather, Jiayan wasn't an ignorant creature. He stretched out his empty right front leg and pressed down the window latch!
"Who's there?" The young owner shouted again at the door.
Jiayan heard footsteps quickly approaching from the door.
The owner hurried over!
But at this moment, he had already pushed open the aluminum alloy window with force!
"Who's there!"
The young voice shouted loudly at the door, and the young man also leaped in with an umbrella in his hand!
But in the desolate room, there was nothing.
Only the open window, with gusts of cold wind blowing into the room, made him feel a slight chill.
Without a moment's delay, the owner in the house cried out!
"My computer! Damn thief! How dare you steal my computer! So many files are ruined!"
The young owner was hysterical!
And he didn't know that the thief was hiding in a small alley next to his house.
Lying there, a pair of compound eyes flickered.
The owner would never know that this so-called thief was actually not a human at all, but a gigantic mosquito with an unbelievable body size!
"Sorry about that. Just borrowing your computer for a bit, I'll return it to you right away!"
Jiayan apologized in his heart.
The news of the homeowner's lost items caused some commotion nearby.
Even the police came to check the scene, but with so many petty thefts happening every day, they could only conduct a brief investigation and increase patrols in the area. In less than five minutes, they filed and left.
After a couple of hours of disturbance, the area returned to calm as if nothing had happened, regaining its tranquility.
At two in the morning, most people were asleep.
Jiayan, hiding in a secluded alley, dragged the plastic bag and reappeared near the owner's house...
Choosing a remote location, Jiayan took the laptop out of the plastic bag!
Pressed the power button!
"Stealing your computer, using your internet, am I being too much?"
"That's not good. It's not something a mere mosquito would do. I mustn't do this again in the future!"
Jiayan pretended to remorse.
Then, the computer screen lit up...
"Alright, it's been a while since I contacted those two killers. Let's see if they're available!"
Jiayan controlled the mouse with his left front leg and clicked on the QQ login box.
