The bespectacled young man observed the giant mosquito monster standing ahead, noticing that it showed no signs of aggression.
Thinking back to the previous nights and the surprisingly humane behavior of the giant mosquito monster, he clenched his teeth and holstered his handgun. After all, the handgun was utterly useless against the creature before him.
He approached slowly, and the bearded man behind him swallowed hard, also stowing away his weapon, following suit!
As the two men approached the giant mosquito, Jia Yan, in order not to startle these two timid fellows, reluctantly averted his gaze, choosing not to look at them.
This seemed to ease their nerves a bit!
"Huh, Jia Lin!"
As the two men reached the front of the giant mosquito, seeing the young girl completely shielded beneath its body, their expressions turned peculiar.
They hadn't expected to guess right. The creature before them was indeed protecting this young girl from the Jia family.
Who exactly was Senior Insect Master? To have the formidable giant mosquito monster, which posed a challenge to the world's armies, serve him?!
Their minds were in turmoil, and their reverence for Senior Insect Master grew stronger!
Before long, under the escort of the two men, Jia Lin left the street. However, they knew it was best for her not to see the gruesome sight of the bodies strewn across the street, so they shielded her from it, and Jia Lin guessed what had happened, not daring to look.
Jia Yan watched their departure from where he stood.
Then, he looked up at the approaching helicopter, his compound eyes narrowing.
Whether or not this incident concerned him, it couldn't be linked to Jia Lin and the others. After all, they were just ordinary humans, and if investigated, they would be treated with suspicion, and nobody knew what would happen!
So at this moment, Jia Yan had to put on a disguise.
The helicopter above was rapidly closing in.
The invasion of the giant mosquito into Shanghai was a significant event indeed. Not only had the previous anti-aircraft battalion come under scrutiny, but also several surveillance systems in Shanghai had been held accountable!
After all, the combat capabilities of the giant mosquito had been further confirmed, and they knew more about it. If this giant mosquito were to wreak havoc in Shanghai, the impact would be akin to that of the metallic monsters invading Shanghai!
However, the Shanghai authorities still didn't quite believe that the giant mosquito monster would cause any harm in Shanghai.
After all, all intelligence regarding the creature's appearances thus far within the borders of China showed that it had not harmed any ordinary people. Even in Qinghai Lake, where it engaged in minor skirmishes with the military, it hadn't caused any casualties. So, the authorities maintained an optimistic outlook on the matter.
As the armed helicopter ascended behind the giant mosquito, little did they know that a real massacre was unfolding below!
"What's going on? This giant mosquito really killed someone. Sound the alarm, our assessment of the giant mosquito was wrong. Requesting instructions from higher-ups, should we carry out the task of driving it out of Shanghai?"
The soldiers aboard the helicopter were startled to witness the giant mosquito below engaging in a frenzy of killings. At that moment, the giant mosquito was still 'slaughtering' humans on the narrow street, and as the helicopter approached, it seemed to have just killed the last person.
The casualties below were confirmed to be four individuals, with no one else around!
The soldiers aboard the helicopter were extremely tense, fearing that the misjudged giant mosquito monster might attack them from above, especially considering its aerial combat capabilities, which seemed to have received confirmation from higher-ups, surpassing that of any conventional aircraft on Earth!
Naturally, their armed helicopter was no match!
The news of the giant mosquito massacring humans quickly reached the temporary intelligence center in Shanghai. Those there who were still debating whether the giant mosquito would maliciously harm humans were suddenly speechless upon receiving this information!
They couldn't believe that the giant mosquito had actually harmed humans in Shanghai!
"Do we execute the expulsion mission?" came the inquiry from the helicopter.
At the command center, several senior officers of considerable rank were in charge. They exchanged glances, all appearing somewhat at a loss due to the elusive nature of the giant mosquito. Then, a leader-like officer spoke up, "Let's not rush into attacking. First, let's see what's happening down there!"
His command clearly indicated a reluctance to lose a helicopter so easily. After all, the comparison of combat capabilities between the giant mosquito and the armed helicopter clearly favored the former.
The individuals aboard the helicopter clearly hoped to hear those words.
They all breathed a sigh of relief, as a soldier's duty was to obey orders. If they were ordered to attack the giant mosquito, then they had no choice, even if they knew they might die, they would still have to go in headfirst!
At that moment, the people on the helicopter began to carefully observe the scene of the giant mosquito's brutality below!
The corpses had already become dilapidated, even fragmented!
However, after observing for a while, the people on the helicopter suddenly had a revelation!
They saw several handguns next to the bodies.
Instantly, they connected the dots to the previous scene.
Surely, the giant mosquito had passed through this area, and these humans who possessed firearms wanted to attack or had already attacked the giant mosquito. In retaliation, the giant mosquito then attacked these humans!
So, these thugs were daring indeed. The military dared not attack them, as they needed to maintain their relationship with Jia. However, these thugs had the audacity to attack. At present, it seemed that the giant mosquito had no intention of attacking other humans. Otherwise, the instigator of the massacre in Shanghai would be them!
The liaison officer on the helicopter immediately relayed this discovery to the intelligence center.
Down below, Jia Yan had ceased his aggressive actions. Truth be told, he didn't want to attack humans, but when these individuals persecuted his family, it crossed his bottom line, so naturally, he had to eliminate them.
But now, it depended on how the humans down there judged the situation. When he performed earlier, he deliberately exposed the firearms carried by these people to let the helicopter above see.
After circling for a moment, the helicopter then moved away into the distance and departed!
It seemed they chose not to engage after all!
Jia Yan watched the departing helicopter overhead, feeling relieved. Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to engage with humans in battle. It didn't align with his interests or his inner desires.
So, seeing the helicopter leave, he directly adjusted his body and soared upward from the narrow street!
Flapping his wings!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd below, the giant mosquito's body rose to several stories high.
He spotted two assassins below who had inexplicably returned to the scene, blending into the crowd. It seemed like they were just bystanders who had come to see the commotion, as if it were their first time witnessing such a scene.
Smart!
Jia Yan commended inwardly. As for his little sister, he no longer worried. These two individuals were actually quite powerful. Previously, their abilities were not evident because they were compared to top figures in the Earth world. But compared to ordinary people, their strength was indeed formidable!
Jia Yan felt reassured. Now, there was nothing else for him to do in Shanghai. It was time to leave.
His departing figure didn't know how many eyes were watching him in secret, all of them relieved. Unlike Jia Yan, who only cared about his family, these individuals from various factions were concerned about practical interests and various major issues.
Fortunately, the giant mosquito had departed!
