(Please bookmark!)
Dozens of kilometers away, when Jia Yan first became a mosquito, even if he flew to exhaustion he might not reach that distance!
However, now for him, dozens of kilometers is a distance that can be covered in just half an hour!
You could say the change is earth-shattering!
Jia Yan dips lower during the flight.
Previously, when doing a temperature resistance test, he flew at a height of over 70 meters, which was a bit too high.
Not only is the temperature low, but the oxygen content is also relatively low â suffering such discomfort for the sake of a test is one thing, for everyday use, not so much.
After all, Jia Yan isnât a masochist.
The scenery below quickly recedes from view, from a height of more than 30 meters, Jia Yan is already above most trees.
Nonetheless, there are many trees higher than his flight elevation and he often has to ascend to avoid them.
Jia Yanâs current flying style is quite similar to some birds, relying mostly on gliding.
Only when he needs speed does he flex his muscles, causing his wings to beat at a high frequency for faster flight.
However, it wastes a lot of the bodyâs energy.
Jia Yan doesnât plan on doing it unless itâs an emergency!
Soon, a sight of flickering lights from miles away appears before him.
Tumen City is a small border city with a population, including townships, of only over 100,000.
Hence, the town part of this city isnât big either.
Some time ago, Jia Yan arrived in Tumen City by train from Spring City.
Now returning once again, he is no longer the tiny little mosquito that could only hitch rides in vehicles!
Or perhaps it should be said even if he wanted to sneak a ride, he would have to consider whether he could fit in.
Itâs virtually impossible for him to mingle in a train or a car like before.
From the sight of distant lights to overhead, Jia Yan took less than five minutes.
He ascended again.
To over 70 meters, directly rising to over 200 meters high.
The temperature up here is even lower but if he slows down the impact isnât that great.
At least the risk of being discovered by humans decreases greatly at such an altitude!
At that distance, in the dim light of the night, he appears as nothing more than a large bird.
âI need to choose a good place to land, and the descent time canât be too long!â
Jia Yan is certain in his mind.
After several mutations and the help of the Mysterious Liquid, his compound eyesight is now almost similar to a humanâs.
Furthermore, he has the ability to sense infrared heat, so he can clearly see the scenery below from a height of 200 meters.
The next thing is a critical aspect of his plan.
Jia Yan lowers his head and tunes his infrared heat sensing ability to trace the heat signatures of each building!
âThis house wonât do, too many people!â Jia Yan glances at a house on the outskirts of the city.
Then he shakes his head.
He looks down at each house.
Some houses are suitable, but there are too many lights around them.
Jia Yanâs huge body descending would be easily noticed.
He continues to circle above.
In the city, not everyone failed to notice Jia Yanâs figure.
A little boy was pulling his mother, pointing at Jia Yanâs body in the air, seemingly wondering what it was.
But when his mother looked up, there was no flying animal in the sky.
Adults always hear children in half measures, so this mother just smiled it off!
The border town had some cultural features unique to the region; even at eleven oâclock in the evening, there were people dressed in Korean costumes walking around.
Such a city is actually a great tourist destination, but Jia Yan isnât in the mood to appreciate any of this, he just wants to get his plan done quickly.
After circling in the sky for a while, he senses someone leaving their house unlocked, but the resident is nowhere to be found.
Furthermore, this house is in the old city area, there arenât many streetlights around it, so the lighting is relatively poor.
If Jia Yan descends, it would be hard for others to detect him!
âGreat opportunity!â
Thereâs a glint in Jia Yanâs compound eyes, and he suddenly tilts his body!
He dives like a fighter jet on an assault run, breaking some invisible limit and whooshes past, bringing a gust of wind with him as he drops rapidly.
Heâs like an air-dropped bomb, explosively plummeting downwards!
Just as heâs about to fly over the house, he contracts his body.
His powerful muscles allow him to achieve a swift halt in mid-air.
His body spins beautifully in the air, reducing the damage from the dive speed!
Then, Jia Yan lightly lands at the doorstep of this house with his six feet touching the ground!
The surrounding lights are dim, there is a reflection on his terrifying body.
These shining coagulants on his surface indicate an exceptional defensive strength.
This black giant mosquito known as Jia Yan nonchalantly steps inside the unoccupied house!
Perhaps the host of this house had just stepped out to take care of a quick errand.
Jia Yan even hears the voice of the host among a group of people chatting not far from the door!
In reality, invading someoneâs house is very risky.
But Jia Yan does not care about that.
Besides, ever since several teachers and students escaped from the Northeast Wild Tiger Factory, he believed that the fact about the existence of giant creatures will eventually be known to the world.
So even if he is spotted, the only difference is that this would hasten the inevitable by a bit!
Anyway, with just unprepared humans around, Jia Yan is not worried about being captured on the spot.
He enters the house, then his compound eyes dim.
Examining a door, he crawls into that room.
As expected!
From outside, Jia Yan had noticed a heat source emitting from this room, like a laptop, and he guessed right!
Thereâs a small 12-inch black laptop running!
âExcuse me, but Iâm borrowing this laptop for a bit!â
The owner might return soon, so Jia Yan acts quickly.
First, he takes a little flight and uses his front legs to unplug the laptop.
He then opened the standby computer screen to check if the battery was sufficiently charged and if the computer had a password set!
If the laptop battery isnât good, then heâll have to give up.
Jia Yan doesnât want to find himself suddenly out of power.
If thereâs a password set, thatâs no good either, Jia Yan isnât a master who can decrypt passwords!
Good!
It seems that the ordinary people really donât set a start-up password.
Jia Yan quickly saw the laptop boot up normally.
The owner was using a wireless network, which Jia Yan was most satisfied with.
Without hesitating, Jia Yan picked up the mouse and mouse pad with his forelegs, flew around the room, and found a bag for holding clothes.
He stuffed the mouse and mouse pad into the bag, and then Jia Yan heard a bit of noiseâŚ
Footsteps coming closer from outside the front door!
Not good, the owner is returning!
Jia Yan was slightly impatient, hurriedly using his forelegs to force the laptop screen shut!
His right front leg swept and directly pushed the laptop into the bag held steady with his left front leg and a pair of middle legs.
Jia Yanâs strength now was really strong, compared with the past where he could only use full-body strength to push the mouse, they are like two different creatures entirely!
However, now is not the time for such feelings.
Jia Yan already clearly heard the owner of the house returning and the âclickâ sound of the door being shut tightly!
âQuick!â
Jia Yanâs compound eyes shone, holding the bag containing the laptop and mouse in his left foreleg.
Since the bag was made of plastic, a faint sound was made while he was lifting it!
The footsteps at the door hesitated a little!
âThe owner heard it!â Jia Yan realized that the owner sensed someone in the house.
Of course, if the owner saw Jia Yan, it wouldnât be a human, but a huge mosquito monster.
However, Jia Yan had already gotten what he wanted!
He spread his wings.
Holding the plastic bag in his front leg, this notebook, although a lightweight item, still weighed more than a kilogram.
Jia Yan needed to exert some effort to fly with it!
But this weight for the now powered Jia Yan was just a small matter.
He picked up the bag with his left front leg and started to fly!
The sound was slightly piercing, making a humming noise.
âWho?!â The owner at the doorway finally felt a bit tense and yelled out!
It was a young manâs voice.
However, Jia Yan didnât care about this.
He flew straight to the window of the room.
Even though the window was closed tight due to cold weather, Jia Yan is not a creature who doesnât understand such things.
He extended his right front leg and clicked the window latch!
âWhoâs there?â The young owner called out again from the door.
Jia Yan heard footsteps quickly approaching from the door.
The owner had hurried over in nervousness!
But by then, he had already pushed open the aluminum alloy window with a force!
âWhoâs there!â
The young voice shouted at the door.
The young man leaped in, clutching an umbrella, leaping into the room!
But the cold and empty room had nothing.
Only the open window, gusts of cold wind blowing into the room, making him feel a slight chill.
In no time, the owner of the house yelled!
âMy computer!
Damn thief!
Daring to steal my computer!
All my data is gone!â
The young owner was hysterical!
What he didnât know was that the thief was hiding in an alley next to his house.
Crouched there, a pair of compound eyes shining.
The owner would never know that this so-called thief wasnât a human at all, but an incredibly large mosquito!
âIâm really sorry, Iâm just borrowing your computer, Iâll return it immediately!â
Jia Yan thought apologetically.
The news of the homeownerâs loss caused a bit of chaos in the neighborhood.
Even the police were dispatched to examine the scene.
However, incidences of theft occur too frequently.
The police can only conduct a slight investigation and then step up patrols in the nearby area.
In less than five minutes, they took the file and left.
After the commotion for one or two hours, the area became as quiet as if nothing had happened, restoring peace.
At two oâclock in the middle of the night, most people were asleep.
Jia Yan, hidden in a concealed alley, was carrying that plastic bag again, reappearing near the homeownerâs houseâŚ
Choosing a secluded place, Jia Yan took out the laptop from the plastic bag!
He pressed the power button!
âStealing your computer, pocketing your network, am I too bad?â
âThis isnât good, itâs not something a good mosquito would do.
I can never do this again in the future!â
Jia Yan feigned remorse.
Then, the computer screen lit upâŚ
âOkay, itâs been a while since Iâve contacted those two killers.
Letâs get in touch!â
Jia Yan used his left front leg to control the mouse, and opened the QQ login box.
