Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Blood Mosquito
Jiang Yan also bought a batch of kerosene and alcohol while in Rich Country.
Besides being used as fuel and lighting, kerosene has many other uses.
The freezing point of alcohol is -117 degrees Celsius, making an alcohol burner a good choice in frigid weather.
Additionally, during her visits to these countries, she also stocked up on some common medications and acquired a thousand first aid kits, and bought twenty AEDs.
As for prescription drugs, like in her homeland, the control abroad was extremely strict.
She managed to buy some through certain channels, but the quantity was not large.
After bustling through several countries in quick succession, only a trifle of her originally over three billion was left in her account.
However, what needed to be bought, what could be bought, was more or less all purchased.
On the morning of July 6th, Jiang Yan, with the remaining two small targets in her card and a Space full of supplies, wearily boarded the flight back home.

As she stepped out of the cabin door, the scorching sunlight coupled with a wave of heat hit her face.
Jiang Yan slightly furrowed her brow.
Before returning to the country, she had checked the local weather. Just before disembarking, there had also been a report on local temperatures on the plane.
She was aware of the sudden rise in temperature in Anming over the past few days.
But she hadn't expected her own body temperature to feel much hotter than the forecast, much, much hotter.
Could it be that the natural disaster starting on August 8th was coming earlier...
A bad premonition rose within Jiang Yan.
"Miss, hello, welcome back to Anming. Please, this way!" As Jiang Yan descended the stairs, a young man dressed in a white shirt, black trousers, and white gloves warmly greeted her.
Since her mother sold the company, they hadn't employed a driver at home.
Being a super VIP of the airline, she normally had their car directly take her home every time she returned to the country.
This time was no exception.
The young man politely took the carry-on suitcase from her hands and only climbed into the driver's seat after she was settled in the business car.
The car soon left Anming International Airport, taking the bypass expressway.
"Miss, is the air conditioning temperature comfortable?" the young man asked softly while driving.
[...]
"Bang!!!"
Jiang Yan was engrossed in reading when a violent crash sound suddenly came from the front of the car.
At the same moment, "squeak—" the business car stopped abruptly, and Jiang Yan's body involuntarily lurched forward.
Fortunately, the business car had a large seat spacing and was equipped with seat belts, so she wasn't bumped on the head.
Plus, it was not rush hour; otherwise, the abrupt stop would surely have led to a rear-end collision.
Jiang Yan almost entered the Space within a second.
"Fuck! What the hell!!"
The driving young man couldn't help but curse softly, then quickly turned his head in apology, "I'm sorry, miss. I frightened you just now. You didn't hit your head, did you?"
As Jiang Yan replied, "It's nothing," but after looking at the windshield, she suddenly stiffened, "What is—"
At the upper right corner of the windshield, a large mass of bloody muck mixed with black jointed appendages clung tightly, and a red viscous fluid began to slowly trickle down the glass.
At first glance, it was a horrifying sight.
The appendages twitched slightly, then quickly drooped.
It was unclear what it was specifically.
"Snap!"
Eventually, the gooey mass slid down the window.
"Miss, I apologize, but could you please stay in the car for a moment? The car was struck by some strange insect. I'll go and check."
Saying this, the young man took off his sunglasses, exited the vehicle, set up a red warning triangle at the back of the car, and then hustled to the front, taking out his phone to take continuous snaps of the windshield and ground, and then made a call.
Since the young man drove a public car, if he couldn't ascertain that the responsibility wasn't his own, he had to bear the cost of any damage to the car.
Jiang Yan stared at the lingering bloodstain for a few seconds, then pulled out a medical face mask from her pocket, actually from the Space, and put it on before exiting the car.
The sun was too dazzling today; she was already wearing a hat and sunglasses, and now with the mask, she covered herself thoroughly.
Through the mask, she still smelled the strange tinge of blood in the stifling air.
The moment she clearly saw the "thing" on the ground, Jiang Yan's scalp tingled and her body instinctively stepped back several paces.
Because in the sticky red fluid, she distinctly saw the slender mouthparts unique to mosquitoes, along with shattered wings and several black legs with white spots!
