Jiang Yan briefly glanced at the news and took a deep breath.
Overnight, news of the global disaster of high temperatures and Blood Mosquitoes flooded the screens everywhere.
Even her previously posted apocalyptic warning in a quiet corner of the internet had made it to the trending searches, with many seeking the person who posted it.
Some called her a prophet.
But the phone card associated with that account had been cut into pieces and flushed down the toilet while she was overseas.
According to the news, the Blood Mosquitoes had started appearing around the world a few days ago.
But at that time their numbers were small, so most countries and regions imposed a media blackout.
Until today, when the Blood Mosquitoes seemed to hatch en masse all at once.
More and more humans fell victim to the Blood Mosquitoes, forcing officials from various countries to come to a consensus and make a public announcement.
These mutant mosquitoes not only have blood-sucking females, but the males suck blood too, and they primarily feed on humans.
Of course, like regular mosquitoes, those with Type O blood and those who emit stronger body odors are more likely to be targeted by these mosquitoes than other people.
In addition, these mosquitoes can resist extreme heat and cold, and their lifespan is three times longer than that of regular mosquitoes.
As to whether they carry pathogens or cause various adverse reactions, officials have not disclosed.
However, officials did mention that radioactive contaminants had been detected in the body of these mutant mosquitoes.
And as far as the discovered Blood Mosquitoes are concerned, the most numerous and varied are found in Japan.
Genetic tracing shows that these Blood Mosquitoes, which have suddenly appeared all over the world, are closely related to the first batch discovered near Japan's abandoned nuclear power plant.
From a scientific standpoint, the evolution and mutation of animals and plants cannot happen overnight.
This implies that Japan had likely started secretly discharging nuclear-contaminated water years ago, following the nuclear radiation incident.
And it came a month ahead of schedule!
No matter what, she had to wrap up the plans she had arranged today!
Otherwise, if she didn't go now, the temperature would only get higher, making it impossible to leave.
Jiang Yan rubbed her temples, then called an online taxi service to pick her up at Shallow Bay ahead of schedule.
The driver had also seen the news early in the morning and, considering the high temperature outside, was actually thinking of canceling.
He hadn't even driven out this morning, but couldn't resist as Jiang Yan offered him triple the price, so he hurriedly drove to Shallow Bay.

Jiang Yan had insulation clothes and an insulation helmet in her Space, and she also took a neck fan and put it around her neck. Fully armed, she finally left her home.
The entrance to her apartment and the gate of her community were temporarily sealed off, just like during the mask-wearing period.
The guards on duty said they received a notice early in the morning to prevent chaos due to hoarding of supplies and considered the high temperatures, so each household was only permitted one person to go out for supplies.
Anyone with exposed skin without mosquito protection measures was urged to return home.
Everyone else was required to stay inside.
And the common areas of each apartment building and corners susceptible to Blood Mosquito entry had been blocked off by property management.
Thanks to the experience accumulated during the mask-wearing period, her normally average property management responded rather quickly.
Seeing Jiang Yan's fully armored and odd appearance, several guards were surprised for a few seconds.
Jiang Yan got a pass to leave the community.
The driver picked her up and quickly drove to the warehouse address.
On the road, the entire city seemed to have hit pause overnight, with few people and cars outside.
Water trucks constantly sprayed mist on the roads.
But the mist did little to cool them down.
Occasionally, fire trucks and police cars whizzed by, their sirens blaring.
These were the most admirable and res
pectable individuals during critical periods.
Especially under today's special circumstances.
After Jiang Yan arrived at the warehouse, she let the driver leave.
Taking advantage of the fact that the supplier's goods hadn't arrived yet, she took out a pile of photovoltaic solar panels from her Space.
