However, he could come back anytime. After all, with his strength, ordinary squads of metal monsters couldn't possibly stop him if he wanted to return to this place.
But since his family members weren't in this house anymore, what was the point of him coming back?
So Jia Yan's current mood was the same as his family's.
At most, this place would just become a place of memories.
"Sigh..." Jia Yan sighed deeply. Originally, he thought that if his family decided to stay, he would also fight to protect them. But now that his family made the wise choice to leave, Jia Yan's mission didn't seem so heavy anymore.
After all, staying behind would likely mean facing a massive attack from those metal monsters. Jia Yan could possibly defend himself or escape, given his abilities, especially his advantage of flight. However, protecting his family wouldn't be as simple!
So now that his family made the wise choice to leave, it was also good news for Jia Yan.
Jia Yan still lay on his own rooftop, watching the Jia family gradually disappear into the crowd.
The choice made by the Jia family was the simplest but also the most arduous - walking away!
The main road had long been closed, and the traffic jam had rendered the roads impassable. Some more foresighted families had already chosen to leave by car the night before!
As for the remaining people, after finding the roads impassable, they reluctantly chose to walk.
Of course, those who drove didn't have much to celebrate either, because they would soon find out that their path ahead was also blocked by a traffic jam, with residents from all over the city fleeing. They simply couldn't smoothly enter the safe major cities!
That's right. Although the destinations of the evacuees varied, ninety percent of them were heading towards the major cities. Of course, some chose more remote areas where metal monsters hadn't appeared yet.
For example, the Jia family chose a small city where a relative of the Jia family lived. Although it wasn't a major city, at least there hadn't been any sightings of metal monsters, and the relationship between that aunt and the Jia family was relatively good. When something happened to Jia Yan, that aunt would be one of the first relatives to rush to the scene.
But going to that aunt's house would require more than five hundred kilometers of travel. It was almost impossible to rely on vehicles for this journey, and relying solely on legs would be extremely arduous!
Coincidentally, this was also the moment when the metal monsters launched a major attack. These evacuees were likely to become casualties under the metal monsters' onslaught.
Of course, at this point, nobody knew what would happen next. All they wanted was to stay away from danger and protect their families. Except for those who wanted to cause trouble during the disaster, everyone else was just ordinary people who wanted to survive.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo!!"
A faint sound echoed in the sky.
A massive black figure completely obscured the ground!
Its colossal body flew in the sky, shocking the humans below, with some even panicking and fleeing.
The streets instantly descended into chaos!
Jia Lin walked on the street with her parents in front of her. This girl had recently returned from Shanghai, and although she had been out of school for a while, her academic performance hadn't declined. This reassured her parents, who were very worried about her.
However, Jia Lin didn't appreciate her parents' increased attention. Being treated with the same concern that her deceased brother had received made her feel uneasy!
Jia Lin still thought about her brother Jia Yan every day. Despite returning home each day, this high school student still hadn't gotten used to life without her brother.
The incident of the metal monsters' attack had made this young girl feel a little scared again.
She was afraid that at times like this, she might lose another family member. Although such thoughts were ominous, they couldn't be stopped once they arose.
And it was precisely at this moment that screams suddenly came from behind the girl!
"The giant mosquito is coming!"
"It's that giant mosquito!"
The screams behind her surprised the girl greatly. Was the monster they mentioned yesterday the same as this one?
Wasn't it supposed to help our city deal with those metal monsters? Why would people still fear it?
The girl felt a faint surprise, then turned around to look. Following the panicked gazes of the people around her, she saw the giant mosquito monster flying in the sky!
It was an extremely massive flying creature with a gleaming black body that reflected sunlight.
Its six slender legs glinted, especially the pair of front legs with sharp blade-like horns, which were terrifying beyond description. Those horned edges were probably stained with all sorts of blood, including that of humans!
"Is that the giant mosquito monster?" Jia Lin looked at the giant mosquito flying overhead, her expression somewhat puzzled.
Although she had never seen this giant mosquito before, she felt like she had encountered it somewhere. But something didn't seem right. If she had encountered such a huge monster before, she definitely wouldn't have forgotten.
So when the young girl saw the giant mosquito monster, she was truly stunned for a moment, but then she reacted and felt somewhat frightened!
It was said that this giant mosquito had wiped out a small team of metal monsters. Such combat prowess was terrifying to the Earthlings who knew how dreadful metal monsters were!
And she had just been standing underneath the giant mosquito's body, lost in thought, for so long, which was practically seeking death!
However, this giant mosquito monster seemed not to know why. It didn't attack humans and continued hovering above!
On the road below, cars were turned upside down! Some humans who couldn't escape came to the bus stop where the Jia family of three was, even fighting for positions with them!
The giant mosquito monster almost landed at this moment!
Jia Yan watched the scene below from the sky!
He knew that if he appeared, it would surely cause a commotion, and this commotion would definitely affect his family. But to make them accustomed to his existence as this "giant mosquito monster," this was a necessary step!
After all, Jia Yan couldn't always linger far from his family. His purpose was to protect them, not just to watch from a distance. So making them used to the idea of him being this giant mosquito flying high in the sky, yet not disturbing anyone, was a good idea.
But Jia Yan didn't expect that even his family would be pushed away while standing under the shelter!
Seeing his mother almost pushed and about to fall out of the shelter, he almost impulsively flew down!
However, Jia Yan suppressed his impulse!
This was the time to earn trust. If he did anything harmful to humans, his family would never trust this giant mosquito monster flying above them again!
Fortunately, the chaos below was temporary. When people saw that the giant mosquito above didn't make any aggressive moves, some couldn't help but sneak out from their cover.
They nervously watched the giant mosquito flying high above, sweating profusely!
This person was indeed brave. His actions prompted more people to come out of hiding.
And the giant mosquito monster above seemed to have no sign of attacking!
Was it true that it wouldn't harm humans!
Almost everyone was questioning this.
The Jia family of three also moved in the crowd, mingling with the people, slowly
moving forward.
However, the young girl Jia Lin kept casting strange glances at the giant mosquito monster hovering above, feeling a faint sense of familiarity, which made her recall something!
"Okay, the queue is finally moving again. Although they haven't gotten used to my existence as this 'monster,' at least they're not as panicked as before at the sight of me. This is progress!" Jia Yan watched the flowing crowd below with a slight sense of joy in his heart.
