Jia Yan's flying speed increased slightly.
Whether to return to the Huaxia country or not didn't make much difference to him, to be honest. He was accustomed to this country, and his parents were here, so it was normal for him to return.
Jia Yan's plan was to find a sparsely populated area in Huaxia and temporarily settle there.
He felt that the effects of his mutation this time couldn't be fully adjusted in just a few days. Although his body was stronger now, there were still some areas that hadn't completely undergone the mutation process and needed some time for nurturing and repair!
After all, his body was no longer that of a small mosquito!
Although the mutation process wasn't short, it had lasted for almost a week. However, it was impossible to completely transform his current massive body into another form in just one week!
He still needed some time to fully digest the effects of this mutation!
So, he gave up the idea of continuing to explore the 'artifact' in Japan!
Because even if he found it and even got the opportunity for the next mutation, his body had just completed the mutation process. It was impossible to undergo another mutation so soon. It was better to consider it next time!
So Jia Yan planned to return to Huaxia, rest for a while, and think about further enhancing his strength after fully digesting the effects of this mutation!
The vast land ahead rapidly enlarged in his sight!
Jia Yan's compound eyes flickered. When he was approaching Huaxia's territory, he directly lowered his flying altitude.
Most military radars had an altitude limitation. As long as the altitude was reduced to a certain extent, it could evade radar detection. He returned to Huaxia's territory unnoticed!
Jia Yan felt a bit nervous, unsure if Huaxia had any mysterious radar technology that could detect his presence. After all, his body was no longer small, and if there were such high-tech radars, it was still possible to detect his traces!
Fortunately, his flight this time still went undetected!
Jia Yan returned to the Huaxia territory after being away for a week!
It was still afternoon. As the southern region of Huaxia, the weather at the end of October was still relatively hot. The scorching sun shone down from above, making Jia Yan, who preferred hot environments, feel extremely comfortable!
The scent of hometown soil was still pleasant!
Jia Yan basked in the fragrance of the soil and the comfortable sunlight, flying towards the coastal areas of Huaxia.
The southeastern coastal areas of Huaxia had always been prosperous throughout history, even in modern times. This situation had not changed.
After flying in low altitude for a while, Jia Yan entered a jungle!
He planned to wait until night to act because the afternoon was when human activity was frequent, and going out at this time would definitely increase the risk of being noticed by humans!
And not far from where Jia Yan was hiding.
There was a small coastal village. Because it was close to the coast, every household was relatively affluent!
However, in this prosperous village, sudden intense screams rang out!
Accompanied by this scream was a loud explosion!
Red light flickered!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!! -
Houses soared into the sky. Fragments burst, and shattered bricks splattered everywhere!
The screams abruptly stopped.
Then, a not-so-large metallic mech, with its four legs moving, slowly emerged from behind the ruined house, trembling as it walked.
This village had long been deserted. Although it might have been prosperous in the past, it now looked dilapidated. The detached villas in the village had become ruins. The various licensed cars were even more dilapidated, sadly parked everywhere.
The metallic mech Jia Yan saw in the Fuji Mountain cave was very similar, except that the one under Fuji Mountain had 'eyes' emitting a faint red light, while this one did not. That was the only difference!
There were no other metallic creatures accompanying this mech. After scanning the surroundings, it seemed to realize that there were no other creatures nearby. It immediately started moving its four legs and walked towards the outskirts of the village!
Not too far from this place, Jia Yan, whose antenna-like ears had made significant progress after the mutation, heard the distant explosion and raised his head slightly alert!
After waiting for a while and not hearing any other sounds, he crawled down with some doubt.
"It's not even New Year yet, and someone is setting off such loud fireworks. It's really a Huaxia specialty!"
The big mosquito was prepared to rest well. After all, he had just completed the mutation and had been flying for such a long time. For him now, rest was more important!
So Jia Yan gradually entered the state of sleep amid the occasional explosions that reached his ears.
He never imagined that the sound was not from fireworks, but from real explosions!
It had been a long time since he last dreamed. Although Jia Yan was a mosquito capable of sleeping, he was always in a state of tension and danger. Therefore, his sleep time was very short. Besides, mosquitoes didn't really need sleep, so he had gotten used to not resting well for so long. Now that he had become so powerful, it would be unfair to himself not to take advantage of this opportunity to rest well, wouldn't it?!
The sun was warm, the scent of grass and soil filled the air, and it was a perfect weather for resting!
Jia Yan soon fell asleep.
The distant explosions continued to sound!
Like other countries in the world, Huaxia was also plunged into panic and slaughter!
Ever since the so-called 'metal monster crisis' erupted in Japan, a group of metallic monsters from the depths of the earth had also emerged in the northern border area of Huaxia, spreading out from the underground world!
They slaughtered humans and any living beings they encountered! The weapons they possessed, like the red laser-like ones, caused casualties every time they attacked!
Moreover, these monsters' defense capabilities were too exaggerated. Most of the weapons used by the military had little effect on them. Although there were studies showing that these monsters had weaknesses, knowing them in actual combat was the same as not knowing them! So, even now, Huaxia had no way to deal with these monsters!
It wasn't just Huaxia; the whole world was helpless!
The formidable defense of these monsters, combined with their extremely powerful offensive capabilities with the laser-like weapons on their heads, made them the ultimate combination of spear and shield!
Their individual combat capabilities were extremely strong, and they didn't seem to act in groups. They almost always gathered in small groups of three to five. With this kind of combat power, each group was enough to match a hundred-man combat team from Huaxia, without being at a disadvantage!
And if a small team encountered a strong enemy, these metallic monsters would use a contact method that humans couldn't decipher to summon other metallic monsters. Therefore, human combat teams couldn't stay in one place to fight the metallic monsters for too long; otherwise, countless metallic monsters would gather until they overwhelmed all the soldiers!
Huaxia's largest-scale battle occurred two days ago!
At that time, over three thousand metallic monsters suddenly emerged from below a well-known natural cave attraction and launched a massacre on the visitors above!
Coincidentally, a Huaxia army unit passing through the area to reinforce the northern front happened to
pass by. As a result, fully equipped soldiers urgently disembarked from the train one by one, and a force of five thousand soldiers engaged in an unprecedented super battle with over three thousand metallic monsters!
This battle began in the daytime and lasted until the evening of the next day!
The final result was a complete defeat of the Huaxia army unit, which dispatched over twenty-two thousand troops in total, with over one hundred aircraft sorties!
The battle, which involved over five thousand Huaxia soldiers against over three thousand metallic monsters, resulted in the destruction of over three hundred metallic monsters. In contrast, the Huaxia side suffered direct casualties of over four thousand soldiers and the destruction of two cities affected by the battle!
The casualties among the civilian population were countless!
The refugee crisis has already formed.
But compared to refugees from previous dynasties, this time, the refugees don't know where to go!
In this world, it seems that countless metallic monsters have emerged in an instant. According to incomplete statistics within the borders of Huaxia, there are as many as two hundred thousand metallic monsters emerging everywhere!
Two hundred thousand, and they are all such formidable combatants!
Both officials and civilians who know this number wear grim expressions.
According to the casualty ratio from the largest battle, it would take at least three million soldiers from Huaxia to die in the war to completely eliminate the two hundred thousand metallic monster army!
Does the entire Huaxia have so many troops? Moreover, that battle was still fought by well-equipped Huaxia forces. Even those elite troops deployed in the battle, when the war continues in the future and the elite soldiers are exhausted, and weapon equipment declines, how will they fight?
Moreover, that battle was because the metallic monsters were extremely concentrated, and the destructive power of artillery was maximized, which resulted in the killing of three hundred monsters. But what if... the metallic monsters were scattered?
