Changshi, a county-level city only tens of kilometers away from Tancheng.
In this city, the situation was not much different from Tancheng last night. Many refugees from Tancheng and other cities gathered here again.
The numbers were staggering!
Many tents appeared on the open ground, and traffic and public order became major issues!
However, at this moment, no one paid attention to this problem anymore. After all, the nearby city of Tancheng had also been attacked by metal monsters, so it was imminent that Changshi would be attacked too. The law enforcement officers were already overwhelmed with their own tasks, so they didn't have time to manage so much!
At this time, wanting to find an opportunity to see a doctor at Changshi Hospital was simply unimaginable. Even if you queued up obediently, it would take you several days to be seen!
There were simply too many injured and sick people.
However, even in this situation, the Jia family still managed to get a hospital room, even a private one. Many people thought that this unremarkable family must be someone extraordinary.
But only they knew that they were not extraordinary figures at all, just ordinary refugees from Tancheng!
"Xiaolin, you wait a moment, and then go to the bank with your mother to withdraw twenty thousand yuan and give it to those two friends. Although they claim to be your brother's friends, they don't seem like it to me. Whatever their motives, let's not owe them too many favors for now."
Jia Sheng, the head of the Jia family, lay on the hospital bed, his complexion not very good.
Beside him were his wife and daughter, Jia Lin. This family had endured a long journey of escape, finally arriving in Changshi. However, it was not entirely their own effort that brought them here. Along the way, they had encountered two mysterious figures who had helped them when the Jia family was attacked!
These two individuals had taken great care of the Jia family all the way, but when asked about their reasons, they refused to say anything, claiming to be friends of Jia Yan and helping this family.
This was obviously an excuse, but neither side realized that it was actually the truth!
No one could have guessed that the giant mosquito was actually the resurrected son of the Jia family, Jia Yan!
The unpredictable actions of the two assassins made Jia Sheng very uncomfortable.
This middle-aged man had lived for most of his life without ever seeing people who gave without expecting anything in return! Moreover, he had seen these two people take out firearms during the last confrontation with those who had broken his leg. So he didn't trust these two people very much!
Such people claiming to be friends of his son, who was only known for researching biology, was simply absurd!
So, Jia Sheng remained very distrustful of these two people and sent his daughter to withdraw money. Although he also believed that they couldn't simply buy a hospital room at this time. But he didn't want to owe those two people any favors.
Not long after, Jia's mother and daughter walked out of the ward. However, as they walked out, they met the two men who were going out to handle hospital procedures for them!
These two men were obviously wounded, one with bandages on his arm and the other with an injured leg.
"Hey, where are you going? It's chaotic outside now, it's better not to go out if there's nothing urgent!" The man with a stubble beard said strangely when he saw the two women coming out of the ward.
"I asked them to go out for something," Jia Sheng's voice came from the ward.
The young man with glasses frowned slightly when he heard the voice and said to the stubble-bearded man beside him, "I'll go with them, you stay here and protect Uncle Jia!"
With that, the young man with glasses turned and followed the two women from the Jia family.
The stubble-bearded man grinned and walked into the ward.
His leg wound had not fully healed yet, so he walked with some difficulty, but he was very tough and didn't show any signs of staggering.
"Sir, who are you exactly? It seems that our Jia family has no connection with your friend Jia Yan. If you have any other motives, you'll be disappointed. There's nothing left in our family to give you, so please leave us alone!" Jia Sheng on the hospital bed had a vigilant expression!
When these two people helped their family on the road, Jia Sheng couldn't deny that he was a bit surprised. But when everything was arranged so perfectly, and they even got a hospital room for their family, Jia Sheng became a bit wary! If a stranger was so enthusiastic about helping them, there was only one explanation—they must have ulterior motives!
However, when the stubble-bearded man heard this, he didn't show any expression and sat down on a chair next to Jia Sheng's bed, shaking his head and explaining with a smile.
"Uncle Jia, don't think too much. We do indeed have no connection with your family or Jia Yan. But we were asked to take care of your family here, and we don't even know who this person is specifically, so you don't need to ask."
Asked by someone?
Jia Sheng listened to the stubble-bearded man's words with some suspicion, scrutinizing his expression. Seeing that the man didn't have any special expression, he himself pondered in doubt.
Who was this person, who could command such two people, obviously a noble person, but as far as Jia Sheng remembered, his family had no relationship with any nobles.
While the three members of the Jia family continued to feel somewhat awkward with the two assassins, who had been together all the time.
In the nearby mountains and forests, a huge monster moved its body slightly.
Crack!
Crack!
Its body was a bit stiff, but compared to before, it was much better.
In this mountain forest, Jia Yan finally finished reading the documents!
There was a look of shock in the big mosquito's heart!
This document contained a very secret piece of information. This secret indicated that although Huaxia had no preparation for the attack of the metal monsters, it had already conducted some research on this strange phenomenon!
The two assassins obtained this document during the assassination of a corrupt official. That official had no research abilities but firmly held a leading position in a secret research base. It was just before this official died that he was looking at this document, so Jia Yan could understand it too!
The so-called metal monsters were referred to as 'high-alloy organisms' in this secret research base.
The document did not explain how they arrived at their findings, nor did it explain why there were records of metal monsters in the research base. But it was obvious that the secret research base must have obtained one or more bodies of metal monsters!
So the question arose: Huaxia did not seem to know anything about this secret when it first entered the underground world. Why did they research the bodies of metal monsters?
Jia Yan keenly observed. The time on this document seemed to be about a year ago. At that time, Huaxia had already obtained a body of a metal monster. No wonder Huaxia seemed to have announced the development of several good
scientific research results in the recent year or two!
But that wasn't the topic Jia Yan cared about!
"Is there any benefit to me or anything I can gain from this research institute?" Jia Yan had developed a bit of an addiction to places like this. The factories before had given him too many benefits, so he immediately thought of this idea!
"I'll have to go and see when I have time. This place seems to be near Qinghai-Tibet, about three thousand kilometers away as the crow flies! However, with my speed, I can get there quickly!"
Jia Yan thought for a moment and nodded.
He stood up.
He still couldn't let go of his family affairs.
So at this moment, he flapped his wings slightly and felt his body.
Jia Yan felt that he seemed to have improved a lot. The constantly changing body had brought him some recovery, although it also resulted in his inability to move. But this result was actually a good thing, after all, he had become a little stronger, although this 'little' seemed to be just a little bit.
Better than nothing!
Not long after, he moved his whole body!
The compound eyes of the big mosquito blinked slightly!
He looked at the dark night sky above his head. It was night again, and this was his favorite time.
After all, mosquitoes were nocturnal creatures, and he quite liked this time, although the night didn't seem to be an obstacle for those metal monsters, it had a much greater impact on the human side. And now, Jia Yan's relationship with humans didn't seem to be very good either!
After all, he had killed so many humans, he couldn't expect his actions to save so many people at the crossroads to be understood by humans!
So when it came to night, it was in line with his idea of traveling.
When he felt that his body had finally recovered to a certain extent and should have a certain combat power, the giant mosquito didn't hesitate to flap its wings hard!
Buzzing!!
The body of the giant mosquito slowly rose from the forest!
Its dark and huge body gradually rose into the air.
"At night, the temperature has dropped a bit, but it doesn't have much effect on me at this time. I just don't know if it's too cold for me to bear over there in Qinghai-Tibet?"
When Jia Yan was in the air, his body paused for a moment!
Dozens of meters in the air, he looked at the moon above his head. One of the skills Jia Yan seemed to have developed as a mosquito for so long was the ability to discern direction by observing the 'celestial phenomena'!
Not long after, the big mosquito finally identified the direction!
Its huge body turned in the air!
Gradually, it flew towards the direction of Changshi!
The body of the giant mosquito wasn't fast. After all, its injuries hadn't fully healed yet. At this moment, its combat power was reduced by at least half, so it didn't need to fly so hard. Jia Yan strangely trusted those two assassins!
Since they said they were here to protect his family, they should be right.
With their protection, as long as they didn't encounter metal monsters, ordinary crises shouldn't be too much for them to handle!
Under the bright moonlight, a huge flying monster, its body shining in the light, slowly disappeared into the clouds and flew into the distance...
