[Subscribe Requested]_1 The number of them, even if they went out to kill in cities, was still too small, they had no ti to concern themselves with the humans in these small villages.
The refugees who slowly realised this naturally stopped at these tiny villages.
In isolated patches of countryside, there were surprisingly many of them.
Now these small villages, all sowhat interconnected, were sharing information with each other, acting as mutual horns of defence, they helped each other when in trouble.
This brought a bit of vitality into the situation.
However, within this village, the first two n who arrived were already considering leaving!
They were on a mission to help the three mbers of Jia’s family, but now they couldn’t get in touch with the so-called ‘Senior’!
They didn’t know whether there was any relationship between the giant mosquito monster and the Senior, they just thought there must be so connection.
As they weren’t able to communicate with the Senior, it was natural for them to assu the giant mosquito wouldn’t help the three of the Jia’s family either.
They too were in this troubled world, hoping for a benefactor!
But a month has passed with no word, they didn’t know what happened on the Senior’s side.
Without the care of the Senior, the people of Jia’s family were in fact no different from regular refugees, so their reason for staying has disappeared!
The man wearing glasses looked at the young girl in the distance.
This cute-faced girl was a beautiful sight in a generally mountainous village, so boys her age were smitten and wanted to get closer.
If they left, the people of Jia’s family might find a good marital alliance through her and might be able to live well here.
Therefore, he was a little doubtful.
Should they leave or not?!
In fact, they had already done enough, it would be nobler to leave Jia’s family.
Even if the Senior reappears in the future, he was confident that the Senior would not bla anyone.
But…
After facing all those ups and downs, was it really right to leave?
If they left, where would they go?
Where could they go?
The man with glasses looked up at the sky.
Their ammunition had almost run out in just one month.
So were fired at those with bad intentions, while so were fired into the sky, to deter the nighty and maintain the security of the village.
He didn’t believe that, if the two of them who served as guardians left, the village would remain peaceful.
But without a reason to stay, should they leave or not?
“tal Monster!”
Just as they were unable to make a decision, the young girl standing on the hill suddenly let out a cry!
The color drained from the faces of the two n!
Just under a kiloter away, a tal monster, possibly a scout, was clumsily climbing towards the small village deeply nestled in the mountains!
There was only one!
Son, every man in the village was gathered!
“We stand a chance against a single tal monster.
Just rember, if it falls into our trap, don’t go near it.
It’s too dangerous, we will go and finish it off!”
The bearded man and the young man wearing glasses stood in the middle of the crowd and addressed all the n.
In the critical collective of n, Father Jia’s figure was also in the mix.
There were only over seventy able-bodied n in the village.
Father Jia was part of that group and naturally needed to fight!
“Understood!”
After the crowd responded, more than seventy n, ard with their sparse weaponry, advanced towards the tal monster!
An all-out war broke out!
Explosions kept resounding!
When the crowd returned, out of the initial seventy n, less than thirty remained!
It was rely a tal monster, and humans possessed many traps and weapons, but they still suffered great losses under its ruthless attack!
The remains of the tal monster, brought in by the people, looked as if it had been hit by a massive explosion.
Yet, it was uncertain if the monster would have ceased functioning without Qiao’s lucky strike at its heart—the core part of its body.
The wounds on the two assassins standing in front of the crowd got worse.
As for Father Jia and Jia Sheng, they looked unscathed.
That’s not surprising—they were always treated differently because everyone knew they were friends with the two assassins who seed to run the village!
“Dad!” The young girl rushed into her father’s arms.
Others did the sa, finding their returned loved ones, but a majority of the n in the group would never return…
For a mont, endless crying and mourning filled the small village.
In the end, the two assassins chose to stay.
They knew by making this choice, they weren’t just fulfilling their promise to the ‘Bug Language’, but following their own hearts!
From now on, they might abandon their identities as assassins and beco mbers of this small village—leaders in fact, guiding the village to share in each other’s glory and bear common losses.
Whether their choice was right or wrong, they had no conclusion.
Perhaps only ti would tell…
In the cosmic vacuum, the starlight was dim.
Even the distant sun here appeared just a little brighter than the other stars—a re speck of light!
Loneliness, despair, grief, and agony…
facing this vast and profound space, all these emotions seed futile.
Behind him was the pale blue Neptune, an exceptionally beautiful planet with an area far exceeding that of Earth.
However, being a gas planet, it was impossible for anyone to dwell there—temperatures inside this gas giant could reach thousands of degrees, absolutely terrifying!
Jumping lightly against the backdrop of the planet was a huge creature, about six ters long.
Although its body was terrifying, it looked insignificant compared to the sheer vastness of space and the vast Neptune in front of it.
Yet, compared to other small creatures, this Big Mosquito had a certain degree of survival capabilities!
He had been holding his breath in space for an hour now.
Despite Big Mosquito’s ability to go without breathing for a long ti, at this point, it was almost unbearable!
In his compound eyes, a glimr flickered—it was like a shooting star!
Right in front of him, not too far away, was a burning, raging fla!
This was no ordinary fla, but one that could burn even in space.
The light reflected in Jia Yan’s compound eyes.
Even though his body was involuntarily trying to breathe, he still held his breath, forcing himself to hold on, gripping tightly onto a chunk of tal in the void!
Right now, he was about a hundred ters away from the raging flas.
This area should be devoid of any teorites or ice crystals; the base explosion that had occurred earlier had flung all objects outwards.
But this massive tal piece, caught in the final burst of the explosion, had moved into this hundred-ter region and co to a stop.
It was the closest thing to the remains of the base.
Other things either got flung away by the impact of the explosion or were directly burned into charcoal by it!
Jia Yan could say he had exhausted all his strength to get here.
Along the way, he faced nurous dangers, once even missing his target jump.
Luckily, another massive teorite was floating nearby.
Seizing the opportunity, he clung onto it with his hind feet, narrowly escaping with his life!
Through sheer perseverance and a strong will to survive, he had made it this far!
After a series of jumps, he beca familiar with the zero gravity he experienced in space.
Finally, he was just a hundred ters away from the remains of the base!
The flas were still raging over there, but were showing signs of subsiding.
“The area below, it really didn’t catch fire!
Please let these flas die down before I run out of breath!”
Looking at the gradually dimming remnants of the wreckage, Jia Yan felt a glimr of hope for survival in his heart.
But right now, his body was screaming for oxygen.
The instinctive need for oxygen was going berserk!
If he didn’t breathe soon, he might suffocate!
Having overco all obstacles and made it this far into space, near his chance of survival, the thought of dying without being able to do anything—while hope was in sight, was just unbearable!
Jia Yan felt a bit dizzy!
His oxygen-deprived body was sending out a warning, signaling that he might faint at any mont!
