The first largest city in distant Japan, and also the most populous city in the world - Tokyo!
Tokyo has a population of 35.3 million, surpassing the second most populous city in the world, Mexico City, by more than 10 million people. It can be said that apart from its small size, it is unparalleled in any other aspect as the world's largest city.
This city is bustling with lights and colors, carrying the dreams and hopes of countless people, but at the same time, it's a place where many dreams are shattered and people fall into despair!
It can be said to be a metropolis filled with materialism and sin!
And in this city, the ones responsible for punishing criminals are the various police departments and precincts of Tokyo. These police officers permeate every aspect of Tokyo, maintaining the normal order and life of the people!
But something seems off about the police force today!
All major underworld organizations in Tokyo have received word from above that they need to lay low for a few days, because the police have been unusually sensitive lately. If they do anything that sets off the police's nerves again, they definitely won't get away with it!
Not only are these underworld figures who are closely related to the police aware of this, but even the Japanese people walking the streets can sense the tense atmosphere as the police patrol.
It's hard for outsiders to believe that all of this is because of a mosquito, mysteriously making its way toward this metropolis!
However, even within the police force, some feel that this is making a mountain out of a molehill. With such a large metropolitan area and so many police officers and defense forces, should they really be afraid of a mosquito!?
Even if the mosquito is unusually large, it seems unnecessary for things to escalate to this level!
The lower-ranking officers simply don't understand the concerns of the higher-ups!
The terror of that mosquito doesn't lie in its destructive power, but in the embarrassment it will cause Japan!
They were already embarrassed once when, despite the presence of so many Japanese police and self-defense forces, a giant mosquito stole the show during an operation against bandits! And to make matters worse, it directly caused casualties, killing one self-defense force member and injuring a police officer.
If, under such circumstances, the giant mosquito were to intrude into the Tokyo metropolitan area, Japan's face would be even more disgraced!
It would be a blow to the entire Japanese leadership, and even if the giant mosquito didn't cause major damage, just showing its face would tarnish their image in front of the international community and the people!
If they can't even handle a monster mosquito, how can they manage the whole country!
So, at this moment, the Tokyo metropolitan area looks like it's preparing for a major threat.
But these people are completely off track. The monstrous mosquito they curse is not heading for the Tokyo metropolitan area at all; it's rampaging in Mount Fuji, a place that everyone overlooks!
"The special operations team is mobilizing? This monster mosquito really has some nerve. Even our country's most powerful special forces, trained by General Yokota himself, are being mobilized. They are a formidable force! "
Several high-ranking police officials are inspecting the roads in the Tokyo metropolitan area in their cars.
Even though it's still early in the morning, there are already many people on the streets of Tokyo.
Among them, there are an incredible number of police officers. Many pedestrians who are accustomed to going out are looking at the extra police officers strangely, their expressions thoughtful, as if guessing if something bad has happened!
"If the Special Operations Unit guys are deployed, that giant mosquito is definitely doomed. Remember, they are not only the best in our country in terms of individual quality, but also equipped with the best gear. As long as that mosquito dares to show up, a single Special Operations Unit can kill it directly!"
The officials in the car are very confident in the so-called "Special Operations Unit of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force," believing them to be the best option!
What these Japanese high-ranking officials fail to realize is that the monstrous mosquito is not heading for the Tokyo metropolitan area at all, but is lingering in Mount Fuji, a place that everyone overlooks!
"Hoo, hoo, hoo!!"
A black figure swiftly soars upwards!
At 2,700 meters!
The giant mosquito's body finally reaches the peak of Mount Fuji at 2,700 meters!
The vastness of heaven and earth!
The scenery here is completely incomparable to the view from 1,000 meters high!
The highest point where the Japanese people climb Mount Fuji is almost at this point.
Any further ascent is only attempted by professionals.
Jia Yan felt his body freezing, the cold wind continuously blowing into his body!
Although his body was completely encased in ice, he could still feel the chill of the wind.
"Damn it, my wings are getting stiff!"
As the altitude continues to rise, the temperature drops more and more, and Jia Yan's brain becomes unable to think!
It's too cold!
This place is still one thousand meters away from the summit of Mount Fuji.
"These caves are already here, I'll go and take a look. It's better not to force myself to reach the summit!"
Through the infrared vision of his eyes, Jia Yan saw a hot volcanic cave not far away.
He quickly flew over!
In fact, Jia Yan didn't have much hope for these caves.
These places are all trampled by tourists, and it's hard even to see something that others haven't seen, let alone discover any secrets.
But he still flew over!
Soon, Jia Yan saw a cave entrance about twenty centimeters in diameter. Although it was small, there was hot air emanating from it, melting a large area of snow and ice around it.
"I didn't expect the first thing I saw to be such a small cave entrance, but it's not bad. I'll stand here for a while to restore my body temperature, and then I can continue flying higher!"
Thinking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Jia Yan's compound eyes!
At present, what restricts him from climbing higher is the low temperature around him. But with these hot air vents in the caves, he can stop at each cave entrance along the way, let his body recover some warmth, and then continue flying upwards!
This is also a clever way to take advantage of the situation.
He can also investigate these caves along the way!
The cave entrance where Jia Yan is located is too small for him to enter, so he can only see the colors of the volcanic rocks inside through the entrance.
He stayed here for about four or five minutes. His body temperature was somewhat restored by the warm breath from the cave. Then he reluctantly spread his wings!
Continue flying upward.
The next cave is relatively far away. Jia Yan found that the nearest cave to him is also about 2,900 meters above sea level, close to three thousand meters!
"It's okay, I can reach it!" Jia Yan's compound eyes flickered softly.
While his body still retained some warmth from the cave, Jia Yan's body became a little more agile, but this warmth was rapidly disappearing.
With his rising speed, the temperature around him continued to drop. In just a few hundred meters, the temperature had dropped to about minus twelve or thirteen degrees Celsius!
Cold! Extremely cold!
Jia Yan felt like he was about to merge with the surrounding ice, becoming a mass of cold, icy chill.
The wings for flight had frozen stiff.
So his flying speed directly decreased significantly, probably only a few tens of kilometers per hour.
Fortunately, the cave a few hundred meters away was getting closer and closer!
Finally, just when Jia Yan felt he couldn't hold on any longer, the cave he had sensed with his infrared detection appeared before his eyes!
It was a cave with a diameter of about seventy centimeters, with hot air emanating from inside, melting the surrounding snow and ice into a large patch.
Jia Yan stood there, and the warmth immediately enveloped him!
He enjoyed it for a while before regaining his senses. He looked at the entrance of the cave, and a glint flickered in his compound eyes...
The entrance was about seventy centimeters wide, and it seemed to widen further inside, making it possible for him to enter.
With that in mind, Jia Yan gave up further exploration and decided to drill into the cave first!
The giant mosquito folded its wings, tried to bring its long legs together, and struggled to drill into the narrow cave!
A cave with a width of only seventy centimeters posed a considerable challenge for Jia Yan's long legs!
He struggled to drill in!
Meanwhile, not far from Mount Fuji, there was a seemingly ordinary residential area!
These were houses resembling village residences, with vehicles frequently coming in and out. However, due to the remote location from the outside world, even nearby residents were unaware that these seemingly ordinary ancient Japanese "longhouses" concealed secrets!
In the buildings of these longhouses, there were some workers wearing white lab coats and protective suits constantly moving around.
Each of them was focused, with some instruments flashing faintly beside them.
Among them, there were several workers wearing protective suits of different colors. They moved around the seemingly ordinary longhouse, which was actually isolated from fungi and had bulletproof opaque glass windows, and then entered a tightly guarded room!
After entering this room, one could see a passage leading underground!
People wearing protective suits of different colors entered and exited this passage.
There were also some burly men wearing uniforms with guns hidden at their waists, patrolling around the longhouse complex, looking very vigilant. From their expressions and demeanor, it was apparent that they were all seasoned professionals, highly elite!
However, these burly men had no idea what was inside this building. They only knew it was a mysterious place and that, as experienced professionals in the security industry, they were offered high salaries. That was enough for them. They could do anything as long as they were paid well!
Not only them, even the workers on the surface of the "longhouse" had no idea what they were researching!
Because their work involved decomposing and analyzing materials that had been brought up from below, such as separating and analyzing certain substances. As a result, some of these workers had been working here for almost five years, yet they still didn't know what those "seniors" were researching!
The most senior figures in this mysterious building were those who could enter the house and then go underground!
There weren't many of them, totaling only about twenty people, most of whom were auxiliary staff and basic helpers. The real core consisted of only five people!
If these five people were placed outside, they would undoubtedly shake up the entire Japanese research industry and institutions!
But at this moment, the five of them were gathered together, researching something underground.
As long as one followed the path of that mysterious house, took the elevator all the way down, after about two to three hundred meters, the elevator door would open, revealing an empty space in front of people...
