92: Electromagnetic conduction blasting

In the dense forest.

As more and more Golden Ringed Hornets appeared, the firing frequency of the Repeating Ballista also increased.

When the casualties of the Golden Ringed Hornets reached a certain number, an invisible shriek suddenly came from the direction of the composite collection point in the dense forest.

Under the influence of the shriek, the Golden Ringed Hornets, which had been scattering in all directions, suddenly turned in unison and all flapped their wings towards the Xinhuo Train.

The Train Intelligent Auxiliary AI, Xiao Xin, also issued a real-time alert: "Train Captain, an invisible sound wave was detected just now, which is quite similar to the wing-flapping frequency of the Golden Ringed Hornets, suspected to be an order from the Queen Bee."

"After the suspected Queen Bee order was issued, the number of active Golden Ringed Hornets on the enemy-seeking radar increased exponentially, from less than a thousand to over three thousand, and the number is still rising."

"It is recommended that the Train Captain quickly locate the beehive and initiate cleanup operations against the beehive and the Queen Bee, otherwise there is a possibility of getting bogged down in a protracted battle."

"When the Queen Bee is alive and encounters danger, the Golden Ringed Hornets around the nest will continuously provide protective support and fight fearlessly. At the same time, according to the survival rules of the Golden Ringed Hornet, the Queen Bee will also consume reserve resources to urgently breed more powerful warrior bees to defend herself."

"Until the enemy is repelled or the danger disappears."

Lu Yang: "So, I am their enemy and danger, then."

A dangerous smile appeared on Lu Yang's lips.

Then he suddenly pushed the accelerator lever forward.

Isn't finding the beehive and the Queen Bee simple?

Knock everything down, and the beehive will appear, right?

Originally, he wanted to advance gradually, but now that the situation had changed, he had no choice but to be a little more aggressive.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz—

The high-speed cutting blades rotated again.

Da da da da, the rumbling of gunfire rose and fell.

Lu Yang pushed the Xinhuo Train forward, enduring the attacks of numerous Golden Ringed Hornets.

From time to time, the PLZ Vehicle-Mounted Self-Propelled Howitzer would also let out a roar or two, scattering large swarms of bees that had gathered together.

The Train Police led by Yang Kui also gradually found their experience, aiming the Harvester Individual Grenade Launcher at the giant tree trunks near the bee swarms.

In this way, a few grenades later, the shockwave formed by the crossfire could quickly destroy the wings of the Golden Ringed Hornets within range, leaving them only able to crawl on the ground.

They were then cleared by the ground fire that followed.

The average level four or five bullets had a very significant killing effect on the maximum level four Golden Ringed Hornets.

As the Xinhuo Train forcibly advanced to the vicinity of the composite collection point, Lu Yang observed through the binoculars and finally understood why there were so many Golden Ringed Hornets.

At the very center of the level three timber collection point, there were a dozen level four oak trees, over a hundred meters tall, significantly larger than the surrounding trees, with hard, dark grain patterns, like newly forged black-patterned iron.

In the middle of these oak trees, a beehive like a tall building hung near the top of the canopy.

Countless Golden Ringed Hornets went in and out, like guards protecting a palace.

Most of the thousands of red dots active on the enemy-seeking radar were concentrated around the beehive.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yang excitedly swallowed his saliva.

Is there a better target for artillery practice than this?

This is an excellent target for the Small Electromagnetic Railgun!!

During the second Train Assembly trade, taking advantage of the abundant resources, Lu Yang also upgraded the Small Electromagnetic Railgun to level five, acquiring the characteristic 'Electromagnetic Conduction'.

[Electromagnetic Conduction: The electromagnetic projectile fired will carry a massive amount of electromagnetic force. Upon hitting the target, it will induce bioelectricity within the main target and other linked targets, forming an electromagnetic conduction blast field. The more conduction times and targets there are, the greater the final blast power.]

According to Xiao Xin's calculations, for every 100 targets the conduction target count increases, the power of the electromagnetic blast will increase by one magnitude.

With the current number of thousands of Golden Ringed Hornets around the beehive, the electromagnetic blast field ultimately formed would be enough to annihilate more than half of the beehive and all the Golden Ringed Hornets that were conducted.

It is a well-deserved artifact for clearing miscellaneous soldiers.

Conversely, if only oneself remains around the target, the effect of electromagnetic conduction cannot be fully utilized.

Seeing this, Lu Yang brought out the pre-charged Small Electromagnetic Railgun, raised the barrel, and aimed directly at the upper half of the beehive.

After a brief few minutes of continued charging, a tingling sensation, both sour and numb, came from Lu Yang's skin. This was a sign that the Small Electromagnetic Railgun had accumulated too much electromagnetic force and was overflowing outwards.

Yang Kui and the Train Police, who were fighting in the small bunker on the external multi-functional expansion platform, felt their hair involuntarily stand on end, like Super Saiyans in a cartoon.

As the firing button was pressed, the specially made electromagnetic projectile flew out at extreme speed, and everyone's hair instantly tilted in the direction the projectile was fired.

It wasn't until a crackling sound as the electromagnetic projectile accurately hit the top of the giant beehive that everyone's hair belatedly fell back down, but the tingling sensation on their bodies did not recover so easily.

And within the range of the giant beehive, everything that was originally restless seemed to have pressed the pause button.

Sizzle sizzle—

Sting sting—

Crack crack—

Countless blue sparks conducted outwards from the electromagnetic projectile. Each Golden Ringed Hornet that was touched seemed to be frozen, and as the black and yellow beehive was gradually tinged from top to bottom, it was enveloped in a layer of electromagnetic sparks, like a high-voltage transformer about to explode.

Sizzle—

BOOM—

The violent current was compressed to its extreme, and then in an instant, Lu Yang's vision was completely filled with leaping brilliant blue electromagnetic sparks.

Countless Golden Ringed Hornets fell like dumplings, and the smell of scorching filled the entire area in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yang watched all this expressionlessly, looking at the tottering beehive, and unhesitatingly pressed the firing buttons of the two PLZ Vehicle-Mounted Self-Propelled Howitzers again.

Boom, boom—

The sound of thunder rang out once more.

Under the continuous attacks, the beehive finally could no longer hold on.

Like a collapsing skyscraper, it fell straight to the ground with a vivid red blaze.

With a crash, it piled up into a dust-raising ruin.

In the ruins, a Golden Ringed Hornet Queen Bee with a huge, fat belly crawled out dizzily.

After struggling to crawl to the base of a giant tree, her belly laid out white bee eggs one by one, like a chicken laying eggs.

She only crawled weakly to the side after her belly was completely empty.

Then, her neck crooked, and she died.

A purple blueprint shimmered faintly beneath her.
