The way these two assassins inquire makes sense!
Jia Yan had informed them earlier that he would arrive in ten hours, but what they were rescued by ten hours later was a monstrous giant mosquito! Anyone in their shoes would doubt, right?
Of course, these two assassins couldn't actually suspect that Jia Yan was that giant mosquito! Even if such a thought crossed their minds, it would be immediately dismissed!
After all, such a speculation was too fantastical. How could a normal human think like that?
Jia Yan's compound eyes gazed at the screen.
To be honest, he intended to cut ties with these two after their last interaction. Because there would be no further interaction, it was impossible for him to disclose his true identity to them!
Even though they were somewhat comrades in arms, there was no way Jia Yan could reveal any details about his identity with just that level of relationship!
Let them remain in the dark!
With that thought in mind, Jia Yan quickly typed a few lines and sent them off.
"I definitely have some connection with that giant mosquito, otherwise why would it rescue you? As for the exact nature of our relationship, you'll have to figure that out yourselves!"
"All right, we've said all there is to say! Neither party owes the other anything, so if there's anything in the future, feel free to contact me!"
Jia Yan casually closed QQ and then relaxed into a smile.
As far as these two assassins were concerned, things were now settled.
No matter how much gratitude they owed him, rescuing them once again this time, it balanced things out!
Jia Yan knew his identity and understood that maintaining normal friendly relations with humans was impossible. So, repaying these two's favor now was a clean slate!
If there were any future problems, they could address them when the time came!
Meanwhile, on the small boat in the ocean, the two assassins were taken aback by the message.
Initially, they just wanted to check in with their senior and casually ask about his connection with the giant mosquito, but what they received was something like a conclusive statement!
Moreover, after their senior finished speaking, he immediately went offline!
"Ah, it's all your fault. Why did you ask about our senior's relationship with the mosquito? Is that something we can ask about? Our relationship with him hasn't reached that level yet!"
The stubble-faced one's expression turned dark. They had even severed ties with their organization to improve relations with their senior, but now they realized their mosquito senior might not be interested in deeper connections with them.
However, their senior didn't completely shut them out. At least if they left a message next time something happened, there might still be a chance of getting help!
"Yeah, yeah, it's my fault," the young man with glasses said with a bitter smile and shook his head.
They didn't have much choice when it came to their mysterious senior.
They already thought he was formidable, but now they found out he had some connection with the terrifying giant mosquito that was being talked about worldwide. He seemed even more mysterious now!
As for what kind of relationship their senior had with the mosquito, whether he was its owner or something else, that was beyond their speculation!
Since they had just narrowly escaped danger and were now recovering from their injuries and separated from their organization, they were unlikely to take on any new missions for a while. So even if they needed to seek their senior's help again, it would be a long time from now, and there was no need to think about it for the time being!
The two of them came to this understanding and lazily watched TV.
But just then, the young man with glasses' phone rang.
He frowned oddly and answered it.
"Xiaoyao, what's going on with the internet data card I got last time? I just checked the balance, and it's almost depleted!"
A man's voice came from the phone.
"Huh!" The young man with glasses was taken aback, then gave a bitter smile.
It seemed their senior had actually brought his computer to Japan. He remembered they had initially loaded three thousand yuan of internet fees into it.
"No problem, I'll transfer fifty thousand to you. Top up the card with it, and don't waste time. Let me know if he runs out of credit again!" The young man with glasses said without any hesitation.
That was the card their lifesaving benefactor was using. Fifty thousand for his life was a steal! Besides, with this incident, wouldn't they have another connection with their senior?
Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on the young man's lips.
Jia Yan was unaware of how much internet data he had consumed.
After all, he had never traveled abroad before, and although he knew that using internet cards abroad was horrendously expensive, he didn't expect it to be so excessive!
If he had known, he might have felt a twinge of regret.
He hadn't been browsing continuously; after checking information about Mount Fuji and its routes, he had shut down the computer!
On the quiet island, the giant mosquito in the forest listened to the faint sound of waves and gradually fell back into slumber.
Jia Yan was recuperating.
After all, the battle from the previous day had been exhausting, and coupled with flying continuously for four thousand kilometers, he was truly exhausted this time.
But it was because of these experiences that Jia Yan had a clear understanding of himself now!
He wasn't just strong; he was extremely strong!
He had truly shed his old image of a little mosquito and become a giant mosquito with some self-defense capabilities.
He slept very comfortably this time, although it was a bit chilly. But for Jia Yan, who was protected by thick clots, the cold was bearable!
Until the moon was high in the sky, around three in the morning!
It seemed there was an internal clock in the giant mosquito's brain, as it woke up right on time!
"What a good sleep!"
The massive black figure rose slowly from the bushes, rustling the foliage as it did.
Rustle rustle rustle...
Not far away, the waves continued to crash incessantly.
Jia Yan stood up slightly and stretched his body, clearing the slight drowsiness from his mind!
"Let's leave the computer here and pick it up on the way back." Jia Yan looked around and carefully hid the laptop bag, which already contained the computer, deep into the bushes.
Afterward, Jia Yan looked at the full moon in the sky.
It was another good weather day, and Jia Yan felt a bit relieved looking at the moon!
It was the perfect time to act!
"I remember reading online that the inland areas of Japan are experiencing rainy weather. As long as I fly where there's moonlight, I should be fine. In areas where it's raining, not only will there be fewer people, but the dim light will make it unlikely for most people to notice me!
With these thoughts in mind, Jia Yan spread his wings...
Flap, flap, flap...
The wings lightly flapped.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
The flapping speed increased!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!
Hum, hum, hum!!!
The speed continued to increase until it reached a certain critical point!
With six long legs, the giant mosquito slowly lifted off the ground.
In the next moment, a majestic flying creature rose from the bushes on the island!
It soared like a dragon ascending into the sky!
Hum, hum, hum!!!
Whoosh!
The noise lasted only a few seconds before immediately fading into near silence.
Jia Yan adjusted the angle of his flight muscles, causing the vibrating wings to glide, resulting in a very faint flying sound!
"Updraft! Good, let's ride it!" Jia Yan's compound eyes brightened as he flew in the air.
He sensed an updraft not far away, perfectly aligned with the direction he needed to go.
Skillfully entering the updraft, Jia Yan only needed to spread his wings and ride the airflow forward!
Beneath him was the vast ocean.
But for humans, it was an immensely vast ocean. Yet for Jia Yan, it seemed like nothing at all!
After an uninterrupted flight of over 4,000 kilometers, this terrifying giant mosquito gained a clear understanding of his flying abilities and endurance.
Since yesterday, he had been evaluating his flying abilities—there wasn't a single ocean on Earth that could challenge him unless he encountered an extremely strong storm!
"The 4,000 kilometers not only helped me improve my physical endurance but also enhanced my flying skills fundamentally. Now, I can maintain a cruising speed of approximately 250 to 280 kilometers per hour. That's faster than some of the fastest planes during the First World War!"
Jia Yan was very satisfied with his flying speed.
Although theoretically, even if he improved his flying skills further, he probably wouldn't be able to break the 300-kilometer cruising speed limit without undergoing another mutation, his current achievement was already quite remarkable!
As for his instantaneous speed, Jia Yan couldn't estimate it accurately because there were no reference objects.
However, due to his significantly greater weight compared to birds of the same size, his burst speed would be even more astonishing once he accelerated!
In any case, breaking through the 400 kilometers per hour instantaneous speed was definitely achievable, and it wouldn't be surprising if his diving speed exceeded 500 kilometers per hour!
If one were to describe how fast 500 kilometers per hour is, it would be roughly half the speed of sound when compared to the speed of sound!
At his current weight and with such speed!
Flying past humans at such speeds would generate winds strong enough to knock them over!
If he collided with a train, he might even send the train's cars flying!
Even some old-fashioned firearms wouldn't match this speed!
Terrifying!
However, that was only Jia Yan's theoretical maximum flying speed. His cruising speed remained around 250 kilometers per hour, which, though terrifying, wasn't overly exaggerated.
At this moment, the giant mosquito maintained this speed as he flew towards Japan's sacred mountain—Mount Fuji.
He intended to search for the 'divine object' within the so-called sacred mountain, to see if there were any opportunities!
With his flight speed increased, Jia Yan lowered his body and swiftly flew to an altitude of five or six meters above the sea surface!
The wind from his wing flaps stirred the seawater below, continuously producing the sound of 'splash, splash'!
At this altitude, there was no worry about being detected by radar. Even if some surveying fishing boats' radar systems detected him, they would either mistake him for a seabird or simply consider it a radar software glitch."
