Humanity is truly in panic now!
The refugee crisis has reached an unprecedented scale in various countries.
Some bizarre faith-based organizations have emerged among the refugees, with some even beginning to worship metallic monsters, mysterious flying saucers, and those giant mosquito-like creatures that have appeared in the human world a few times, albeit showing relatively friendly behavior!
The propagation of these strange beliefs started fermenting at an alarming rate from the beginning. By the time some countries noticed, it was already too late!
"Charge! Kill these foolish rulers! The metallic monsters have come because of them. If they are gone, the metallic monsters will forgive us humans. Kill them!"
In a city of the Stars and Stripes country, crowds composed of people who believe in the 'metallic monsters' surged towards the residences and offices of the city officials!
Being a country where firearms are legal, almost everyone in these crowds was armed. As they surged forward, they displayed a balanced mix of advance and retreat, mercilessly attacking those rulers who were once human!
The Stars and Stripes, the most powerful country on Earth, had suddenly plunged into chaos in an instant!
The speed at which things escalated far exceeded people's imaginations!
In just one day, several countries declared a state of national emergency!
The populace mistrusted the government, and the footsteps of the metallic monsters were drawing nearer with each passing moment. It seemed that humanity had suddenly reached a moment of life and death in these few days!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thunderous explosions rang out as a dark figure gracefully maneuvered in the air, evading the impact range of the explosions.
Whooosh!
There was hardly any pause. The giant mosquito, after detonating the metallic monsters behind it, immediately charged towards another group of metallic monsters!
However, this group of metallic monsters had already prepared for self-destruction!
The color of the barrels on their heads was eerie. As the giant mosquito approached...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Streams of red explosion waves appeared in the sky!
A massive explosion was about to unfold, but just before that moment, the body of the giant mosquito suddenly spread its wings!
Whooosh!
At that moment, just before the explosion's red light flashed, the giant mosquito launched itself towards the sky at an incredibly furious speed!
As the explosion's red light illuminated, they could only kill their own kind in sorrow, unable to harm even a single bit of the giant mosquito!
The gleam in Jia Yan's compound eyes intensified. In this continuous battle, the giant mosquito had found some characteristics and experiences of the metallic monsters' self-destruction!
"If these metallic monsters want to self-destruct, they freeze for about a second before. By observing their actions carefully, I can see the signs before they explode!"
"And the more I engage them in combat, the clearer their tactics and movements become. As individuals, metallic monsters don't seem to be very intelligent. So, I'm increasingly able to anticipate their actions!"
In the air, Jia Yan looked down at the metallic monsters below, his compound eyes gleaming brightly!
At this moment, the giant mosquito was on its second day of battling the metallic monsters.
He hadn't bothered to find out about the major events in the world the previous day. Throughout this day and night, the giant mosquito had spent almost all its time in combat.
After discovering the characteristics of the metallic monsters' self-destruction, Jia Yan felt that his experience had improved.
Finally, as dawn approached again...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the pressure of Jia Yan's attacks, the last metallic monster had to detonate itself. However, before the explosion, the giant mosquito's body had already risen from the ground amidst the flames of the explosion.
At this point, the ground had already become a scene reminiscent of doomsday, with the wreckage of metallic monsters strewn everywhere, each one seeming to testify to the power of Jia Yan, this ruthless attacker!
This was a force of a hundred metallic monsters!
It was the first time Jia Yan had ever exterminated such a large number of metallic monsters. His method of attack was to use a few grayish-green pebbles, detonating them directly in the sky upon arrival, killing or injuring many metallic monsters on the ground, and then attacking directly from above while they were unable to organize an effective counterattack!
"Finally dealt with them. This batch of metallic monsters was at least a hundred strong. Now let's see what gains they've brought me!" Jia Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as he flew away after finally dealing with these small armies of metallic monsters.
He had fought all night, and his gains at the beginning were not much, but after totaling the destruction of two small armies of metallic monsters, he had gathered around thirty pieces.
This was the largest number of metallic monsters he had ever exterminated in one go, and he naturally looked forward to the gains this time!
"One, two, three, four... eleven, thirty-two, thirty-three... thirty-three pieces!?" Jia Yan looked at his gains this time, feeling quite satisfied. Out of a hundred metallic monsters, he had obtained over thirty grayish-green pebbles. These pebbles were not easy to obtain since they required killing the metallic monsters before they could react. Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain these grayish-green pebbles.
With a single harvest of thirty-three, Jia Yan's total gains amounted to over sixty, which, combined with his previous stockpile, was not far from the quantity he desired!
"It seems like there's still a good chance. As long as I fight for another day and night, I'll have a chance to collect the desired quantity!" The gleam in the compound eyes of the giant mosquito sparkled brightly!
As long as he could gather the required quantity, he could initiate the next mutation. How strong he would become then was beyond imagination!
"If I undergo mutation and reach an extreme level of power, then I'll continue to guard Shanghai. Although I don't want to help those other humans, my family is there, so I might as well give them a hand!" Thinking of this, the compound eyes of the giant mosquito shone even brighter.
However, he also knew that his idea was somewhat unrealistic. After all, the buildings of the metallic monsters and the red light they emitted were something he believed he couldn't defend against.
If the metallic monsters used that light to attack him, he would have no other choice. It was estimated that the power of that light was even more formidable than the rays the UFO used to attack him. He could only bow his head!
But before dying, he must protect his family!
That was Jia Yan's idea.
Even though the mutation was within reach, the future still looked dim, without any glimpse of light.
Before knowing about the metallic monsters' ability to emit red light and before knowing about that mysterious UFO, Jia Yan felt extremely powerful. Apart from a few rare things, he believed nothing else on this Earth could threaten his life.
But the appearance of the powerful buildings of the metallic monsters and the UFO that could emit white light made Jia Yan feel that he was facing something he couldn't fight against!
"I'll strive as hard as possible. Although I dare not say that the next mutation will catch up to the strength of these things, at least I'll have a little more self-defense!" Jia Yan encouraged himself.
The giant mosquito continued its search for the next target group of metallic monsters!
These metallic monsters either hadn't shared Jia Yan's information or thought that the current giant mosquito had little impact on them. When Jia Yan saw the next group of metallic monsters, they still appeared without any precautions.
"If they're not prepared for me, then I'll continue attacking!" Jia Yan wouldn't be polite with the metallic monsters. When he saw the group of metallic monsters below, he immediately pursued them, launching his attack!
And as Jia Yan continued to attack the metallic monsters...
Unbeknownst to him in the sky above, two objects far surpassing the technological creations of the Earth were rapidly approaching each other in high altitude.
They were also in battle, and the intensity of their fight far exceeded the battle between the giant mosquito and the metallic monsters below!
