Overnight flying more than two thousand kilometers, this is absolutely an extraordinary feat!
Of course, Jia Yan knew that there was also a factor of luck.
That is the mysterious fluid left over after the mutation, which still remained partially in his body! For Jia Yan, this mutated energy was not just a miraculous substance, but also the best source of energy and nutrition!
So relying on these residual energies, supporting his body to fly over two thousand kilometers, from north to south, in just one night, it was an incredible sprint over such a long distance!
Of course, after such a long flight, his body inevitably became exhausted.
Compared to the initial speed of over two hundred kilometers per hour, now in windless conditions, he could only maintain a speed of about one hundred and eighty kilometers per hour, which was a significant decrease!
But his current endurance flying method had also produced very good results.
The twisting angle of the wing muscles had been greatly optimized, knowing what kind of wind to face, and what kind of twisting to make was the most efficient.
He also figured out what posture his body should be in to maintain long-term flight without discomfort or soreness!
Jia Yan was confident that even if he didn't have the mysterious fluid as power in the future, he could still maintain prolonged soaring in the sky!
"There's a stream of air currents ahead!" Jia Yan suddenly felt a certain airflow brushing against his exoskeleton!
He quickly raised his body and skillfully plunged into the stream of air!
Finally, his wings could stop flapping within the air current. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Tired! Really tired!
Flying continuously for over two thousand kilometers, even with such a robust body, was exhausting.
But the destination was right in front of him!
Below Jia Yan was a scenery of deep mountain forests. This contrasted with the previous Jiangnan water town scenery of the small plain area, indicating that he had entered the unique mountain and forest landscape of Fujian Province!
Fujian's mountains were dense with forests, and flying in the sky, he could see undulating mountains everywhere.
"It's fortunate that there wasn't any encounter with a thunderstorm. On the way, there was only a slight rain when passing through the central region of Huaxia Country, but fortunately, it didn't affect the journey..."
Jia Yan was most worried about thunderstorm weather. After all, he had to cross so many areas, and the possibility of encountering thunderstorms was high!
Thankfully, the weather was favorable last night. Except for a little rain during a certain part of the journey, which not only washed away his fatigue but also invigorated his spirit, it didn't have much impact!
In just one night, he had flown almost across the entire Huaxia Country. To Jia Yan, this was already a remarkable achievement.
The former little mosquito, even in his dreams, never thought he would come to such a day!
Over two thousand kilometers, from the initially slightly cold weather to the current heat. This change in weather represented the distance he had flown overnight, and also represented Jia Yan's pride!
A mosquito achieving all this was simply unbelievable!
Half an hour, for an ordinary person, might only be a few kilometers of walking distance, but for Jia Yan, a straight-line flying creature, half an hour was enough for him to fly over the entire territory of a county-level city!
"There's another cityscape ahead, my hometown is here!" Jia Yan, in flight, finally saw the change in scenery ahead.
At this point, the sky was almost bright.
The originally gloomy sky had a touch of golden light.
The warm autumn weather in Jiangnan had become hot again!
Cicadas after autumn, perched on trees, played symphony music with full volume.
On the ground, vehicles appeared on the roads. Gradually, the slightly desolate roads in the early morning began to get busy.
Jia Yan slowed down his flying speed.
Familiar city, familiar roads, everything was familiar to Jia Yan.
Looking at the scenery of his hometown from high above, he had a different feeling.
"It turns out that the small town where I live is really this small, but this is my hometown, and nowhere else can give me such a familiar feeling." Jia Yan observed the scenery below.
The scenery gradually enlarged, and Jia Yan descended.
But the descent speed was extremely fast!
Arriving here, he didn't care about that much anymore. Since the sky had just brightened, at most, there was only the risk of being seen by one or two people.
A not-so-large residential building appeared in front of him, and this building had been around for twenty or thirty years.
It was Jia Yan's home on the outskirts of the city!
Whoosh!
The huge flying creature descended, and faint screams could be heard nearby!
But Jia Yan didn't care!
The closer he got to this building, the more memories and emotions emerged. Jia Yan found that he couldn't control himself at all, almost wanting to crash into that familiar house, that familiar room!
He really wanted to fly into the house, and then everything would seem like a dream. He would turn back into that bookish nerd who only read biology books, push open the door, and say, "Mom, Dad! I'm back!"
But...
Reality was just reality!
Jia Yan's descending figure quickly landed on the rooftop of his own house.
It was a three-story standalone building, but since it was built twenty or thirty years ago, it had never been renovated, and until now, it still had a cement floor.
Back then, in order to build this small building, the family borrowed money everywhere. Because the debt time spanned from when the prices were very low to when they skyrocketed, the tens of thousands now couldn't compare with the tens of thousands back then! The family only managed to pay off the debt for building the house two years ago, but until now, those relatives who lent money to the Jia family still didn't have a good look in their eyes.
This was normal, after all, the money back then was worth much more than now!
But because of this house, Jia Yan and his sister Jia Lin had a home to grow up in from childhood, without wandering around. Just for this, Jia Yan was very grateful to his parents!
Snap...
Jia Yan landed on the rooftop.
Then, he controlled his dark and sturdy body, gently crouching on the rooftop.
The warm sunlight poured down from the sky.
The dark mosquito lay quietly on the rooftop of this three-story building, trembling slightly.
If he had tears, Jia Yan would definitely shed tears!
But he didn't!
It was just excitement. His body trembled slightly.
Home!
After being reborn, Jia Yan had several "homes".
The "home" in the stinky pool, the "home" between the cobblestones!
Staying in the rented house of a young man named Fan Haofei in Shanghai!
And in the underground world cave, he built his own "home" with rubble!
Then in the middle of the cliff, he found the cave "home"!
Speaking of which, Jia Yan seemed to have quite a few "homes".
But those... were all self-deception.
He now realized that no matter where he built his home, his true home would always be this place!
This place witnessed his growth from childhood, his studies, and then becoming a student at Shanghai University. This is his true home.
This home witnessed the joys and sorrows of his upbringing, the arguments and laughter with his sister, and the heartwarming conversations with his parents. It's the place that recorded every bit of his past. That's the true home!
"I'm back."
The dark mosquito lay prostrate on the ground, trying to press his head against the rooftop, silently sobbing in his heart.
He sobbed inwardly, unable to cry out loud.
After being reborn for so long, he finally returned home!
But now, he was no longer the young boy who could reintegrate into this family. Even the desire to kiss this house, this land, was impossible due to the lack of lips. The bitterness in his heart was overwhelming.
The dark mosquito at this moment was filled with both the excitement of a prodigal son returning home and the pain of sorrow.
This was heartache, far worse than the pain of mutation.
"Old Jia! There's something flying towards your house, don't know if it's a big bird or a plane! Hurry up and check it out on the rooftop!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice outside the door called out.
Jia Yan peeked through a gap in the rooftop and saw a man in his fifties wearing a white vest downstairs, calling out to the owner of this house with curiosity.
Jia Yan immediately recognized him as a neighbor, an uncle who had taken care of them since childhood.
"What's going on!?"
Then, Jia Yan saw a man hobbling out of the house, heading towards the man who was speaking.
Seeing this man, Jia Yan's heart throbbed.
He was Jia Yan's father, named Jia Sheng. Despite being only in his forties, his hair was already white, making him appear like a man in his fifties or sixties!
"Dad..."
How Jia Yan wished he could go out and shout, but now he couldn't even do that.
Watching his father's appearance, Jia Yan's gaze froze on his left leg!
At this moment, Jia Sheng was leaning on a crutch with one hand, his leg encased in plaster, the injury looking very serious!
Seeing his father's awkward movements, even though he had imagined his father being injured on his way here, seeing the real scene still ignited anger in him!
"Old Jia, I forgot about your leg injury. Hurry up and go in, let me help you up to the rooftop to see what flew down."
The neighbor uncle saw Jia Sheng's hobbling appearance and quickly supported him.
"I don't know who those people are. How dare they come to your house and start a fight? The police seem to be useless too. They've been called for so long but still haven't caught anyone. Oh, it's really sinful!" The uncle said as he helped Jia Sheng into the house.
Hearing this, Jia Yan was already able to judge the truthfulness of what the two assassins said.
Fortunately, apart from the leg injury, it seemed that his father didn't have any other serious injuries. His mother and sister should be fine too.
Jia Yan felt a little relieved.
Returning home from a thousand miles away, he really wanted to stay for a while longer.
He had seen his father, but not his mother.
The last time he saw her, her eyes were swollen. I wonder if she's feeling better now?
And his little sister, is she still going to school properly?
Jia Yan wanted to know so much.
But now, he really didn't have much time to stay.
After all, he was now just a mosquito, and a giant one at that. His former family, as long as he remembered them himself, would suffice.
His landing had already attracted the attention of many people. Maybe more people would gather in a while.
"I can't stay any longer..."
