Just less than ten minutes after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Fuji...
Not far from the active volcano of Mount Fuji, there stood an ancient-style Japanese "nagaya" building.
Despite its outward appearance of antiquity, this building housed not ancient relics but rather sophisticated instruments and top-tier scientific minds!
These individuals toiled away, dedicating their intellect and sweat to unraveling the mysteries of Japan's "divine artifacts," pushing Japan forward in technological advancement!
Everything seemed calm here, and if nothing unexpected happened, these researchers would spend their entire lives in this place, advancing research. But today, their fate would change, and the catalyst for this change was the giant mosquito, a creature they never thought would have any connection to them!
Yes, the giant mosquito that triggered the eruption of Mount Fuji had far-reaching consequences beyond what was immediately visible!
"Quick, look! Mount Fuji is erupting!" exclaimed a researcher resting in the corridor of the research institute as he suddenly noticed a darkening in the air, then witnessed a horrifying sight!
At the summit of Mount Fuji, magma erupted!
Chaos erupted throughout the research institute, phones ringing incessantly as calls poured in from the outside world. But just as these people remained in a state of chaos, thinking that the volcanic eruption would not threaten them for the time being...
The so-called "divine artifact" of Japan underwent a sudden transformation!
If someone had X-ray vision, they would see that deep beneath Mount Fuji, within the collapsed caldera, the previously tightly sealed metal conduits now had an opening. Magma from below surged into these conduits!
The magma, speeding through the conduits, rapidly spread upwards!
Then, it reached the core of the Japanese research facility, located three hundred meters underground, housing the "divine artifact" of Japan, a mysterious object akin to the enigmatic machinery of China's subterranean world!
Just over ten minutes after the eruption of Mount Fuji, the "divine artifact" in the underground facility underwent a violent reaction!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It began to shake.
"Oh my God, what's happening!"
Five of Japan's top scientists, already studying the changes in the artifact, cried out in horror.
The entire underground facility was in chaos!
But before these panicked top scientists could devise a strategy...
Sizzle!
Their prized "divine artifact" emitted a crisp sound!
Gushing...
Something hot and dazzling began to overflow from the mechanical artifact's conduits!
"What is this? We need to get out of here!"
The researchers in the underground facility were initially stunned, then snapped into action, almost all instinctively seeking escape!
"We can't leave! Decades of research are at stake here; this is the culmination of over twenty years of effort!"
Five top scientists, watching the slowly rising magma and feeling the intense heat turning the ground yellow, panicked. Some instruments touched by the magma crackled and popped!
Meanwhile, the mysterious "divine artifact" remained submerged in the searing magma, showing no signs of damage.
"Run! The high-pressure reactor is going to explode!"
Just as these five people hesitated with immense reluctance, a researcher rushed over!
But it was too late!
A high-pressure reactor, close to the so-called "divine artifact," was completely submerged in magma!
Then, it emitted a dazzling light!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Deep within this unknown underground chamber, a series of explosions occurred!
The underground research facility housed too much high-tech equipment, including high-pressure reactors and machines designed for testing explosions. The force and ferocity of these explosions were beyond ordinary imagination!
People on the surface felt as if they were experiencing an earthquake!
"Another earthquake after the volcano eruption!" Many people near the Nagaya research facility thought this was the case!
However, this explosion lasted only a short time, and the tremors on the ground lasted only briefly. This calmed those worried about another earthquake occurring!
But what they didn't know was that this explosion had forever buried five of Japan's highly esteemed top scientists underground!
If they could trade, Japan's leaders would undoubtedly exchange the lives of a thousand ordinary people for the lives of these five esteemed scientists. But that was impossible!
If this explosion were attributed to the indirect actions of the giant mosquito, then Jia Yan's behavior would undoubtedly be cheered by the Chinese people! Setting aside everything else, just the deaths of these five top Japanese scientists would set Japan's scientific community back more than ten years!
Jia Yan's moves were just too brilliant!
Of course, Jia Yan had no intention, and besides, he was no longer human; he had no national allegiance! If he inadvertently caused harm, he would just say sorry. If not, then it was just good luck for them!
He continued to fly!
Within half an hour, he had flown out of the range of Mount Fuji, arriving in a region far from the disaster.
This was partly because Jia Yan maintained low-altitude flight to evade radar surveillance. Otherwise, he could have flown even farther at full speed.
It was now daytime, the peak of morning rush hour, but surprisingly, no aircraft appeared to "welcome" him!
This made him give up his idea of taking refuge in a remote mountain or densely populated area when fighter jets or similar aircraft arrived. There was no chance to implement his plan!
Of course, not having to battle dangerous military aircraft is the best scenario. Jia Yan was truly afraid of human fighter jets, especially after the intense battle with the F-22 Raptor. Although he appeared to have narrowly won, the reality was far from it!
If they had taken him a bit more seriously and dropped a couple of bombs or something, Jia Yan could have been in serious trouble!
Humming!
The giant mosquito spread its wings and soared!
Now that there were no fighter jets around, Jia Yan figured out the intentions of Japan!
With so many people waiting for rescue near Mount Fuji and those metal monsters emerging from underground, Japan probably didn't have time to deal with him, this giant mosquito!
"Well then, there's no need for me to fly so low. Flying higher will be faster! Let's leave Japan as soon as possible!"
With that in mind, the giant mosquito immediately spread its wings!
Hum! —
A loud noise echoed, and people below looked up, witnessing a giant mosquito with a wingspan of about two meters, soaring through the sky like a dragon over the sea!
Whoosh!
After causing a tremendous noise, the giant mosquito flexed its wing muscles, turning the thunderous flight noise into a silent glide in an instant!
However, this noise attracted even more attention. Countless children cried, and numerous accidents occurred as people gazed at the spectacle, crashing into trees.
But Jia Yan paid no attention. He was flying at an extremely fast pace and soon reached the coastal area!
That's right! Jia Yan changed his flight path this time. Since it was daytime, he decided to fly to the ocean first, then leave the coastline after grabbing some notebooks and other items, quickly departing from Japan's territory.
With so much happening in Japan, Jia Yan felt like an unwelcome guest. It was better to make a hasty retreat!
At the end of the horizon ahead, the shadow of the ocean appeared!
The deep blue sea resembled the azure color flowing through his veins.
Flying at an altitude of a kilometer, Jia Yan believed he could maintain his flight even at around two kilometers after the battle at Mount Fuji. However, the optimal flying altitude was still around a kilometer!
Below, humans looked like tiny ants, walking on the ground. Houses stood like blocks of bricks scattered across the earth.
The narrow roads resembled ropes, stretching from one end of the earth to the other.
People drove cars or walked along these roads.
Fields were distributed in patches, and forests were a mix of lush green and autumn yellow.
Every time he flew over a different area, the underground scenery changed. This island nation of Japan hadn't undergone extensive development, so many areas retained pristine greenery, presenting a refreshing sight!
"Seeing the vast natural scenery, I surprisingly feel a bit calm. If it weren't for all the fighting, just soaring through such landscapes would be wonderful!"
Unfortunately, the peace Jia Yan desired was not to be!
Roar! —
Just as he finally reached the azure coastline!
At the distant end of the sky, amidst a resounding roar, two Japanese Air Self-Defense Force main fighter jets — F-15Js — pierced through the sky!
Then, they headed straight towards Jia Yan's location!
"Fighter jets?!" Jia Yan exclaimed as he saw the scene, realizing the gravity of the situation!
Japan actually dispatched fighter jets to deal with him in this time of national crisis, which was absolutely insane!
