"Isn't that even better? Without these cowards, how could we have reaped such a rich harvest?"
After saying that, he triumphantly kicked the mountain of spoils piled up beside him, making a dull thud.
However, before their laughter had completely subsided, a chilling buzzing sound came from afar and quickly enveloped the entire street.
"Buzzing—"
Before they could even react, a swarm of mosquitoes, like a living cloud, swept in from all directions and instantly engulfed them.
The piercing screams lasted only a few seconds before abruptly ceasing.
When the swarm of mosquitoes dispersed again, only a few dried-up corpses, drained of blood, remained in the same spot.
After feeding on fresh blood, countless mosquitoes seemed to receive some kind of command and began to converge towards a central point.
In the center of that black vortex of mosquitoes, a seductive figure slowly emerged—it was the Mosquito Woman!
"Incinerator!"
Mosquito Girl narrowly escaped the attack. Looking back, she saw a cyborg standing on a rooftop not far away.
His golden mechanical eyes gleamed with a cold light, and smoke still rose from the muzzle of the cannon on his right arm. He stared at her without moving, like an emotionless hunter.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Z City, Lin Mo and Qi Yu were carrying large bags of groceries on their way home.
However, looking at the empty streets, he felt that something was off.
"It's so strange, I don't know where these mosquitoes came from, they're buzzing around and keeping me up at night lately."
Saitama complained to Lin Mo, clearly having been troubled by this matter for some time.
Mosquitoes... they're really annoying... wait!
"Hiss," Lin Mo gasped. Isn't this the plot of Mosquito Girl? Where's Genos? Are they fighting?
Wait a minute, Saitama is still with me! Oh no, Genos is in danger!
Thinking of this, Lin Mo's expression immediately changed drastically, and he grabbed Qi Yu and ran towards the swarm of mosquitoes.
Genos originally had a happy family, but when he was 15 years old, an out-of-control robot destroyed the city and killed his parents as well.
Just as he was about to reach the end of his life, Dr. Kusno found him and saved him, and at Genos's request, transformed him into a cyborg, who now lives out of hatred.
Meanwhile, his battle with Mosquito Girl had already begun. He had lost an arm, and Mosquito Girl's legs had been severed by him.
"Humans have all gone into hiding, that's certainly true." Mosquito Woman's voice was sharp and piercing, full of mockery.
"But you seem to have forgotten one thing... In this city, besides humans, there are countless other lives!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly opened her arms and let out a sharp screech.
Instantly, all the mosquitoes in Z City began to swarm towards her, eventually forming a giant tornado composed of countless mosquitoes.
Chapter 10 The Unbeatable Legend: Genos
This abandoned street in Z City has now become the territory of mosquitoes.
Tens of thousands of mosquitoes gathered into a churning black cloud, their buzzing wings creating a continuous chorus.
"I thought you were intelligent, since you can speak human language. But in the end, you're just an insect."
Seeing the swarm of mosquitoes swarming before him, Genos's palm emitted an even brighter light.
"You've gathered so many insects to make it easier for me to burn them. When I spotted you, I confirmed there were no living creatures within 500 meters. So... take this, incineration cannon!"
After saying that, he released all the energy he had gathered. Instantly, the fire snake roared through the street occupied by swarms of mosquitoes. The flames and heat wave raged for several seconds before slowly dissipating, leaving only a scorched road behind.
"That's the end of it."
Genos scanned the empty street, detecting no signs of life, and concluded that Mosquito Girl had been burned to ashes by the incineration cannon earlier.
"As expected... the path of cyborgs is the right one. How can flesh and blood compare to machines? I must find the cyborg who destroyed my homeland!" Genos made up his mind.
"Because I don't need them anymore."
A clear female voice came from mid-air without warning.
Genos turned around abruptly, his pupils instantly contracting.
The mosquito woman, who had originally appeared to be in a relatively normal form, had now undergone a complete transformation.
She hovered in mid-air, her originally black skin completely fading away, replaced by an eerie blood red, and her figure became even more slender and elongated.
She had clearly become even stronger after absorbing the blood collected from the entire swarm of mosquitoes.
"After all... I'm already this powerful..."
Mosquito Girl licked her scarlet claws with ecstasy, then gently waved them at an abandoned five-story apartment building next to her.
A blood-red afterimage flashed by, and the reinforced concrete building was instantly cleaved in two, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Incinerator!"
Genos struck first, but Mosquito Girl easily dodged the attack and then rushed to Genos at an unstoppable speed, cleaving him in two with a single blow.
"What!? Such speed! Has it evolved so quickly?" Genos's face turned quite ugly. He was about to retaliate when he was thrown into the sky.
"Why aren't you saying anything? You can't defeat me like this, little brother..."
Mosquito Girl taunted Genos, but her attacks didn't stop; she continued to unleash her furious attacks.
Each claw strike left deep marks on Genos's mechanical body, dismantling him piece by piece.
"Looks like self-destruction is the only option... I'm sorry, Doctor..." The reactor on Genos's chest began to glow blue.
However, the Mosquito Woman stopped her frenzied attack and looked at the two people walking towards her from a distance with a serious expression.
Such a powerful aura... Genos also felt this terrifying aura and stopped his self-destruction.
[High alert from Mosquito Girl, Energy Points +300!]
[A question from Genos, Energy Points +100!]
At the end of the street, two figures slowly walked towards them.
A man with a shiny bald head was carrying a shopping bag from the supermarket.
The other one was tall with a cold face, wearing a hoodie, and just walking there exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
The visitors were Saitama and King.
Upon arriving at the scene, Lin Mo spotted Genos preparing to self-destruct high in the sky and immediately activated his skill, [Intimidation], hoping to buy some time.
"Ah, what a huge mosquito." Saitama had already teleported away when he saw Mosquito Girl.
Mosquito Girl was still on high alert against the tall man, completely ignoring the seemingly unimpressive bald man.
Before she could react, an ordinary-looking hand was already pressed against her face.
To Genos's astonishment, the powerful monster who had just cornered him was sent flying, crashing into a distant building and leaving behind only a blood-red stain.
"Mosquitoes, so annoying." Saitama smiled, clearly feeling much better.
Genos, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. The Mosquito Girl, who had been giving him a hard time, had actually been defeated by this man with a single slap!
Although the tall man not far away did not make a move, his suffocating aura made it clear that he was definitely not a kind person.
As Lin Mo approached, he heard Genos earnestly plead with Saitama, "Please, take me as your apprentice!"
Saitama was naturally in a real bind, his face full of reluctance.
Seeing KING approach, he quickly pulled KING away, afraid of being entangled by Genos.
Lin Mo politely said goodbye to Genos, knowing that Genos would be following Saitama for five days before coming to his door in person.
Saitama...you can't escape." Lin Mo thought with a hint of malice.

Steaming hot air rises above the hot pot, and the marbling of top-grade Wagyu beef is faintly visible in the milky white, rich broth, swirling with vegetables and mushrooms, making it look incredibly appetizing.
Lin Mo had already prepared his dipping sauce and sat down at the low table—a plate full of minced garlic, chili peppers, and oyster sauce, mixed with sesame oil. This was his favorite condiment.
However, Saitama can't eat spicy food at all... even though he's already that strong...
He muttered to himself. He loved the feeling of his face turning bright red from the spiciness of hot pot, but unfortunately, Saitama's house didn't even have a divided pot. It seemed he'd have to bring his own next time.
Saitama, however, had no other thoughts, his eyes constantly shifting between the clock and the hot pot. "Is it ready yet, King?"
"Wait a little longer, the meat will taste even better if it's cooked a bit more." Lin Mo couldn't help but find it a little funny to see Saitama so impatient.
Another minute passed, and Lin Mo, seeing that the beef in the pot had turned the perfect color, finally announced, "It's almost done, you can eat it now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of chopsticks flew out with a "whoosh," constantly picking up beef and putting it into the bowl.
"No need to rush, I bought a lot." Lin Mo pointed to the refrigerator and said helplessly to Saitama.
"Of course I'm in a hurry, I haven't had beef in ages," Saitama replied, his mouth full of meat, his words muffled.
What's more, this was top-grade Wagyu beef that someone else treated us to; who knows when we'll get to eat it again?
Lin Mo watched as the beef in the pot visibly decreased rapidly, and a wave of emotion washed over him.
Thinking about it carefully, Saitama was indeed dirt poor before he met Genos in the original work, and he lived on discounted supermarket vegetables for many years.
For him, opportunities to eat meat to his heart's content are indeed rare.
No, I can't think about it anymore! If I keep thinking about it, there really won't be a single piece of meat left in the pot!
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed, he put aside his distracting thoughts and gripped the chopsticks tightly.
The ultimate secret of the KING style: Carefully pick up food!
Chapter 11: The House of Evolution Arrives
Z City, the House of Evolution.
"Did Mosquito Girl lose? Or was she defeated with a single punch?"
In a dimly lit room, Genus looked at the information on various heroes, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Is KING also present?" The screen then switches to show KING's hero profile.
In the photo, he has three hideous scars on his face, sharp eyes, a cold expression, and exudes an aura of undeniable strength.
