However, this time he didn't continue searching for the figures of those metal monsters, but headed towards his temporary lair.
The battles between the giant mosquito and the metal monsters in the southern region, as passed down by the survivors, had finally fermented completely in Shanghai and other cities!
Although Jia Yan himself believed that he had only killed less than a hundred metal monsters, the news of battles between the giant mosquito and the metal monsters still gave humans a glimmer of hope!
Some media outlets even published headlines like 'Will the giant mosquito species engage in a war with the metal monster species!?'
They were speculating. If the metal monsters engaged in a racial war with the giant mosquitoes, with the individual strength level of the giant mosquito monsters, only a hundred of them would completely change the course of the entire war!
And humans sitting on the sidelines during this period, maybe not only had the possibility of reclaiming their homeland, but even the possibility of completely eliminating the metal monsters!
As for the giant mosquito monsters, whether they were friendly or not was difficult to determine.
To say they were friendly, but they had killed humans several times. To say they were unfriendly, but they had definitely saved humans. So, whether the giant mosquitoes were friendly or not, the media speculated widely, and those articles that were originally very unfriendly to the giant mosquitoes seemed to disappear overnight!
Some upper-class individuals seemed to see the possibility of cooperation with the giant mosquito species!
For these suddenly appearing alien species in the world, humans gradually formed a fixed view, that is, although they seemed unable to communicate, in fact, these species were highly intelligent, just like the metal monsters. They had even built many giant buildings in the areas they occupied, and these buildings had structures that could emit powerful lasers, so to say they had no intelligence, or that there wasn't an entity with extremely high intelligence behind them, was impossible.
As for the giant mosquito monsters, this species had always been in the news online, so its intelligence was unquestionable. However, there were some non-mainstream views that suggested that the giant mosquito monster had always been just one, but its evolution and mutation speed were extremely astonishing. So, humans believed it was just a single species.
The people who held this view were only a small group, but there were several convincing figures in this group. They were the first two college students who discovered the giant mosquito, and they continued to study the giant mosquito, discovering some of its behavioral norms and patterns. Their evidence was actually very simple; the giant mosquito had never appeared in pairs!
And this creature grew larger with each appearance. Couldn't this indicate something?
No one agreed with this argument about the giant mosquito, but these people were not willing to give up this view and continued to search for clues in secret.
While Jia Yan was constantly fighting on the outskirts of the city, in Shanghai at this time, two young men and women arrived outside the residence of two assassins.
These two people both had a scrutinizing look as they looked at the small building in front of them.
Inside the building, the two assassins stood at the window, looking down at the young man and woman below.
The one with the beard shook his head helplessly. He had heard from the little girl that she wanted to know more about the giant mosquito, so when the two people said they were enthusiasts of the giant mosquito, he agreed to their request to meet.
However, she had promised the two assassins not to reveal the true situation about that battle. If she mentioned that the giant mosquito killed those people to save her, it would be a big deal; the authorities might even come looking for them.
"These two people are said to be the first witnesses to see the giant mosquito, and they still insist that the giant mosquito is just one. They also have quite a few followers online. What's worth noting is that the guy, supposedly, has been practicing combat skills hard for the past few months and seems to have gained recognition from many combat experts."
The young man with glasses said lightly about the information of these two young people.
He was very disdainful of the so-called combat skills of the young college student. After all, real combat experts were the ones they faced. A person who had trained in combat skills for only a few months couldn't compare with their strength honed in the fires of battle.
"They are said to have found Xiao Qi's phone, but I don't think it's possible. How they got that phone is not something we're going to investigate right now, but they seem very eager to get information from Jia Lin. I'm afraid the little girl won't be able to resist their inducement and will reveal the secret!"
"What's the big deal? There will just be two more corpses on the roadside! At this time, the appearance of corpses is quite normal, isn't it?" The bearded man looked down at the young man and woman walking into the building, with a disdainful expression on his face.
The young man and woman downstairs were indeed Ye Tongyu and Zhang Shiming!
After getting the phone from the ruffians on Dongguan Road, they called all the female names listed in it one by one!
They used other numbers to make the calls, and when the other party answered, they would directly mention the giant mosquito attack that day. If the other party was clueless, they would hang up and call the next one!
Finally, they found the phone number of Jia Lin!
When the little girl hesitated about that day's events, they immediately felt a strong feeling that the girl on the other end of the phone must be related to the matter in some way. Maybe the giant mosquito's attack on those humans was related to her!
Entering the small building, Jia Lin was already waiting downstairs to greet the two.
"My family won't let me go out, sorry about that. Let's go upstairs and have a cup of tea." Jia Lin saw the two and invited them directly.
"Okay."
The two glanced at each other and followed the very charming and lovely little girl into the seemingly ordinary building.
On the third floor, they all sat down.
"Xiao Lin, right? I want to ask you a few questions. From the witness on Dongguan Road, I learned that when you were there, you were being pursued by those dead people. So when the giant mosquito attacked them, where were you?" Ye Tongyu didn't wait to settle in before hitting the nail on the head. For a girl who aspired to be a journalist, this situation always gave her the upper hand in conversation!
Jia Lin was taken aback. She invited them over to tell them some information about the giant mosquito, and to retrieve the phone from Xiao Qi's sister. She didn't expect them to ask about her whereabouts on that day first!
But she had already discussed these matters with the two assassins that day. If someone asked about this matter, she had her own explanation.
"Well, that day, I went to meet the owner of the phone you found, and then those people started chasing me. I was indeed being pursued by them before the giant mosquito attacked them!"
"But my two friends who live downstairs happened to be on that road, and they helped me lead those people away. They were only attacked by the giant mosquito afterwards, and I didn't witness that scene!" Jia Lin said.
"Is that so? Can you talk about your impression of the giant mosquito?" Ye Tongyu continued to ask.
"Giant mosquito, I think it's a good creature! It has saved so many people!" The little girl's eyes lit up when she talked about the giant mosquito!
Ye Tongyu and Zhang Shiming glanced at each other. They both noticed that when the little girl talked about the giant mosquito, she used 'he' instead of 'they', and even used descriptions like 'it's a good creature'.
The two continued to talk to the little girl without showing any signs.
Slowly, the conversation opened up.
After a while, the two bid farewell and left the room.
Jia Lin saw them off downstairs and then returned upstairs somewhat excitedly.
At this time, in the third floor, the two assassins behind the window saw the scene of Jia Lin chatting with the two young college students through surveillance equipment. They couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
The questioning skills of the two college students were just ordinary in their eyes, but the little girl was too naive. She seemed to have revealed a lot of information to them all at once.
"Go and tell Xiao Lin to be careful when talking to people. I'll go down and have a 'chat' with those two young people!" The bearded man shook his head helplessly and then walked downstairs.
