52: Chapter 13 Tent Dialogue【Seek Collection】_1

52 -13 Tent Dialogue【Seek Collection】_1

Night falls, and tonight is a night shrouded with dark clouds.

A gloomy haze fills the sky, a haze hanging incredibly low.

A rumbling sound echoes from high above, the sound of thunder resulting from the collision of clouds.

In the depths of the vast forest, a huge mosquito flies through the air.

Surrounding him are still the sinister, terrifying bushes and jungle.

Yet, viewing the forest at night doesn’t seem to be as terrifying anymore.

What has changed is not the forest, but himself!

An unprecedented powerful body provides Jia Yan with a sense of security that is sky-high.

The once minute and weak male Anopheles, has now grown to a size that can disregard most spider webs.

Well, it seems that doesn’t quite capture the essence?

Jia Yan can’t quite explain it, but anyway, he feels much safer in the night.

Many of the threats he used to fear at night are no longer threats.

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!

“After the second mutation, my lifespan is no longer just a few short months.

So, what can I do next?”

Jia Yan is somewhat at a loss.

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.

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!

Yet, having accomplished his aim, he suddenly feels a bit lost.

“What should I do next?

Everything seems to be lacking in motivation.” For Jia Yan, his only focus has always been to survive at all costs.

To put it bluntly, the overpowering pressure to survive has been the driving force for his continuous advancement and strength increase.

Now that the pressure to survive has suddenly lessened, the mosquito doesn’t know what to do!

“Shall I go back to the Northeast Wild Tiger factory?

That seems quite dangerous.

I was nearly killed by the Northeast Wild Tiger and the Glasses Man last time.

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.”

While Jia Yan is stronger now, it’s only in comparison to other animals.

If he contends with humans, he is still not particularly powerful.

In fact, his enlarged body introduces more elements of insecurity!

With a size of 7 centimeters, he would easily be spotted wherever he flies in human society.

He used to be small enough to wander all around the human society, and even hitch rides on various modes of transport.

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.

After all, a mosquito 7 centimeters in size, is by headcount, much larger than many birds.

When its wings are spread and legs are straight, he obscures the sun and sky, covering nearly 20 centimeters in diameter.

Having gained a lifespan, Jia Yan seems…

unwilling to take risks!

Fear of wolves ahead, tigers behind.

Having lived in fear before, he is terrified of experiencing that feeling again.

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.

“Huh, why are there lights ahead?”

Through his compound eyes, Jia Yan discerns a light source illuminating a nearby jungle.

Curiously flapping his wings, he flies towards the light.

In the jungle, three tents are lined up in a row, perfectly set up.

In the largest tent, four students from Shanghu, discuss their upcoming itinerary.

“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.

There are even some warfare relics still present in the nearby forest.”

Instructor Lin pulls out a simple hand-drawn map, a standard fallback for someone who spends long years in the field doing scientific research.

“The appearance of such mutant bugs is definitely not incidental.

Since we have already seen a giant mosquito, encountering more such creatures is only a matter of time.

After all, the locals have seen not only one giant creature, but also creatures like the multi-legged Centipede, and Molluscs.

If we add the giant mosquito that we saw, there must be a reason for these creatures to appear in this area.”

“Professor Lin, then what is your explanation for this?” Teacher Chen of the Media Studies Institute carefully asks on the side.

Instructor Lin takes a deep breath and says, “Right now, it’s just my personal conjecture.

After thinking about it today, I feel like there seems to be signs of human involvement in this!”

“Human involvement?!”

The group is taken aback by surprise.

Simultaneously, just outside the largest tent, a massive mosquito flies over.

It observes the situation below, ensuring there are no humans outside the tent.

This small campsite is inhabited by a total of five people.

Four of them are discussing something in the largest tent, while another man is sound asleep in his own tent.

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.

Could they just be outdoor enthusiasts?

With nothing else to do, he quietly positioned himself on the outside of the largest tent, his six strong limbs firmly gripping the top.

He eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

“To say with certainty that it’s human-caused would be premature at this point, but I’ve considered it from a biological perspective.

It’s highly improbable that so many different animal species in the same region would naturally become gigantic at the same time.

There’s only one possibility; someone is meddling with things!”

The dialogue within the tent caused Jia Yan, who was outside, to freeze in astonishment.

These people were discussing the issue of animal gigantism.

As expected, rumors about the gigantic creatures in this forest had already spread.

Jia Yan naturally knew that the gigantism of the animals in this forest was not a natural occurrence.

They all originated from the Northeast Wild Tiger’s factory!

Of course, he wasn’t going to jump out and say anything to these people.

Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t communicate with them.

These people seem to be here to investigate the issue of gigantic creatures.

By eavesdropping, I might come across something useful…

Jia Yan pressed his body even lower to pick up on the faint sounds within the tent.

“Instructor Lin, you’re saying that someone is messing with this?

Making animals gigantic—an achievement of such advanced medical science—if this gets out, it would certainly be a game-changer. freewebnσvel.cøm

Could it be some secret research institution around here?” one of Instructor Lin’s students said, in disbelief.

“It’s definitely not a research institute.

Have you forgotten who I am?

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.

However, not a single person inside the tent considered his words a joke, as Instructor Lin had the credentials to make such remarks.

“My guess is, this organization isn’t part of current official forces.

It may not even be a civilian research institute, but who knows—it could have originated decades ago…

from that era of rampant warfare!” Instructor Lin asserted.

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.

His long legs loosened and he nearly rolled off the tent!

Perhaps the other people in the tent might consider Instructor Lin’s speculation wild and audacious.

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.

There were bullet holes in the walls!

Inside the tent, Instructor Lin continued, “Don’t feel incredulous.

I told you before that this area was once the site of a major war.

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.

The artifacts produced by those technologies have remained until now, only to emerge.”

“It must have been the work of the Wa Kingdom!

They even set up hospitals for researching bio-viruses back then, using Huaxia people as experimental subjects.

This biological mutation here must also be their doing!”

Unsurprisingly, the young male student inside the tent was outraged.

Instructor Lin gazed at his student, speechless.

He was a bit frustrated.

This student had always been like this: always refusing to participate in any academic exchanges if Wa people or Wa students were involved.

“Whether it’s a facility left by the Wa people is yet to be confirmed.

If those facilities really started operating again, there must be someone meddling about.

For our first step, let’s find this facility.

Once we do, the truth about whether it’s a research institution left by the Wa people will be revealed.” Instructor Lin said.

“But…

if there are signs of human activity within, will we be in danger?”

This time, a somewhat quiet young female voice echoed inside the tent.

This voice sounded…

familiar?

Jia Yan was taken aback.

But there are so many people in the world with similar voices.

Jia Yan just had a slightly familiar feeling before his attention was recaptured by the ongoing discussion inside the tent.

“I’m not sure if it would be dangerous.

If you’re worried, you can choose to leave.

I will continue the search on my own,” Instructor Lin said resolutely.

“Why don’t we inform the police or the relevant department first?

It’s fruitless for us to search like headless flies,” Teacher Chen suggested, sounding somewhat anxious.

“That’s possible, but we must try to find that place before waiting for assistance.

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.

From what it appears, Instructor Lin is quite obstinate.

After eavesdropping for a while longer, Jia Yan flapped his wings, took off from the top of the tent!

Because the meeting inside the tent was about to disperse.

“I didn’t expect to overhear such news…

Factory…

What exactly is it?

Could it be, as Instructor Lin said, a research institution left over from the World War decades ago?

It has just been restarted by the Northeast Wild Tiger?”

Jia Yan hovered uncertainly in the night sky.

His curiosity had been piqued.

He wanted to know the answer but exploring the ‘factory’ would be extremely dangerous for him!

So, returning to the old question, if he wants to live a quiet life, he should avoid taking any risks.

And exploring the factory would certainly be dangerous!

Just as Jia Yan was indecisive,

“Zhi zhi!”

A familiar sound echoed to his ears!

“What!?” Jia Yan was startled and quickly looked behind him!

Bats!!
