Collection】_1 Night falls, and tonight is a night shrouded with dark clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gloomy haze fills the sky, a haze hanging incredibly low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rumbling sound echoes from high above, the sound of thunder resulting from the collision of clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the depths of the vast forest, a huge mosquito flies through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounding him are still the sinister, terrifying bushes and jungle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, viewing the forest at night doesn’t seem to be as terrifying anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What has changed is not the forest, but himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unprecedented powerful body provides Jia Yan with a sense of security that is sky-high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once minute and weak male Anopheles, has now grown to a size that can disregard most spider webs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it seems that doesn’t quite capture the essence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan can’t quite explain it, but anyway, he feels much safer in the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the threats he used to fear at night are no longer threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mosquito, which was a mere 1.5 centimeters before, has now grown to a whopping 7 centimeters, even surpassing many creatures that used to prey on him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After the second mutation, my lifespan is no longer just a few short months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what can I do next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan is somewhat at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sought out the Northeast Wild Tiger’s factory in order to go through the mutation effects of the purple-red liquid again, ultimately to extend his lifespan and become even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that this goal has been achieved, Jia Yan has fulfilled his initial wish, acquiring both lifespan and a body far more robust than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, having accomplished his aim, he suddenly feels a bit lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should I do next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seems to be lacking in motivation.” For Jia Yan, his only focus has always been to survive at all costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, the overpowering pressure to survive has been the driving force for his continuous advancement and strength increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the pressure to survive has suddenly lessened, the mosquito doesn’t know what to do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shall I go back to the Northeast Wild Tiger factory?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That seems quite dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was nearly killed by the Northeast Wild Tiger and the Glasses Man last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I have now become a giant mosquito, it makes it easier for humans to spot me, which conversely makes it easier for them to kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Jia Yan is stronger now, it’s only in comparison to other animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he contends with humans, he is still not particularly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, his enlarged body introduces more elements of insecurity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a size of 7 centimeters, he would easily be spotted wherever he flies in human society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used to be small enough to wander all around the human society, and even hitch rides on various modes of transport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, forget about hitching a ride, just flying into a human city might cause a bunch of curious humans to give chase as soon as they spot him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a mosquito 7 centimeters in size, is by headcount, much larger than many birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When its wings are spread and legs are straight, he obscures the sun and sky, covering nearly 20 centimeters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gained a lifespan, Jia Yan seems…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unwilling to take risks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear of wolves ahead, tigers behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lived in fear before, he is terrified of experiencing that feeling again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his rebirth as a mosquito with a consistent goal, initially seeking revenge, then aiming to find a factory to extend his lifespan, he now seems to have lost his purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh, why are there lights ahead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his compound eyes, Jia Yan discerns a light source illuminating a nearby jungle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiously flapping his wings, he flies towards the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the jungle, three tents are lined up in a row, perfectly set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the largest tent, four students from Shanghu, discuss their upcoming itinerary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a map of the local terrain, did everyone notice that, according to the town’s elders, this area used to be a battlefield for a fierce battle decades ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are even some warfare relics still present in the nearby forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Lin pulls out a simple hand-drawn map, a standard fallback for someone who spends long years in the field doing scientific research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The appearance of such mutant bugs is definitely not incidental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since we have already seen a giant mosquito, encountering more such creatures is only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the locals have seen not only one giant creature, but also creatures like the multi-legged Centipede, and Molluscs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we add the giant mosquito that we saw, there must be a reason for these creatures to appear in this area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor Lin, then what is your explanation for this?” Teacher Chen of the Media Studies Institute carefully asks on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Lin takes a deep breath and says, “Right now, it’s just my personal conjecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it today, I feel like there seems to be signs of human involvement in this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Human involvement?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group is taken aback by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, just outside the largest tent, a massive mosquito flies over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It observes the situation below, ensuring there are no humans outside the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small campsite is inhabited by a total of five people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four of them are discussing something in the largest tent, while another man is sound asleep in his own tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan overflies the campsite purely out of curiosity, wondering why anyone would set up tents and stay overnight in such a vast mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could they just be outdoor enthusiasts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing else to do, he quietly positioned himself on the outside of the largest tent, his six strong limbs firmly gripping the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eavesdropped on the conversation inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To say with certainty that it’s human-caused would be premature at this point, but I’ve considered it from a biological perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s highly improbable that so many different animal species in the same region would naturally become gigantic at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s only one possibility; someone is meddling with things!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dialogue within the tent caused Jia Yan, who was outside, to freeze in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were discussing the issue of animal gigantism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, rumors about the gigantic creatures in this forest had already spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan naturally knew that the gigantism of the animals in this forest was not a natural occurrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all originated from the Northeast Wild Tiger’s factory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wasn’t going to jump out and say anything to these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t communicate with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people seem to be here to investigate the issue of gigantic creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By eavesdropping, I might come across something useful…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan pressed his body even lower to pick up on the faint sounds within the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instructor Lin, you’re saying that someone is messing with this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making animals gigantic—an achievement of such advanced medical science—if this gets out, it would certainly be a game-changer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be some secret research institution around here?” one of Instructor Lin’s students said, in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s definitely not a research institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you forgotten who I am?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were any research institute around, I would have heard something,” said Instructor Lin, glancing at his student with a sense of professional arrogance that was profoundly conveyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not a single person inside the tent considered his words a joke, as Instructor Lin had the credentials to make such remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My guess is, this organization isn’t part of current official forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It may not even be a civilian research institute, but who knows—it could have originated decades ago…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from that era of rampant warfare!” Instructor Lin asserted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, not only were the few people inside the tent stunned, but Jia Yan, who was on top of the tent, was also shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His long legs loosened and he nearly rolled off the tent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the other people in the tent might consider Instructor Lin’s speculation wild and audacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jia Yan knew that the three ‘factory’ buildings of the Northeast Wild Tiger were actually modified from ancient military structures—they even bore some traces of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were bullet holes in the walls!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the tent, Instructor Lin continued, “Don’t feel incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told you before that this area was once the site of a major war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have every reason to suspect that the war destroyed a secret research facility of a certain country located in this forest, and it was gradually forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artifacts produced by those technologies have remained until now, only to emerge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must have been the work of the Wa Kingdom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even set up hospitals for researching bio-viruses back then, using Huaxia people as experimental subjects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This biological mutation here must also be their doing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unsurprisingly, the young male student inside the tent was outraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Lin gazed at his student, speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a bit frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This student had always been like this: always refusing to participate in any academic exchanges if Wa people or Wa students were involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether it’s a facility left by the Wa people is yet to be confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those facilities really started operating again, there must be someone meddling about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For our first step, let’s find this facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once we do, the truth about whether it’s a research institution left by the Wa people will be revealed.” Instructor Lin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if there are signs of human activity within, will we be in danger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, a somewhat quiet young female voice echoed inside the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This voice sounded…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there are so many people in the world with similar voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan just had a slightly familiar feeling before his attention was recaptured by the ongoing discussion inside the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not sure if it would be dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re worried, you can choose to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will continue the search on my own,” Instructor Lin said resolutely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why don’t we inform the police or the relevant department first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s fruitless for us to search like headless flies,” Teacher Chen suggested, sounding somewhat anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s possible, but we must try to find that place before waiting for assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if they get wind of it, we’ll startle the snake in the grass!” Instructor Lin agreed with the opinion, but insisted on finding the place himself first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what it appears, Instructor Lin is quite obstinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eavesdropping for a while longer, Jia Yan flapped his wings, took off from the top of the tent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the meeting inside the tent was about to disperse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect to overhear such news…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be, as Instructor Lin said, a research institution left over from the World War decades ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has just been restarted by the Northeast Wild Tiger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yan hovered uncertainly in the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His curiosity had been piqued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to know the answer but exploring the ‘factory’ would be extremely dangerous for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, returning to the old question, if he wants to live a quiet life, he should avoid taking any risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And exploring the factory would certainly be dangerous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jia Yan was indecisive,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhi zhi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar sound echoed to his ears!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What!?” Jia Yan was startled and quickly looked behind him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bats!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please bookmark
