As he silently recited these coordinates in his mind, Lin Yuan was also quickly analyzing the three-dimensional image transmitted back by the Second Audio-Visual Radar. He was currently located 48 kilometers southwest of his Fortress Base, and three kilometers directly ahead stood several isolated buildings. This was where the Anzhela Venom Bee swarm had originally made their nest.
Initially, Lin Yuan had planned to gradually wear down the Anzhela Venom Bees to ultimately breach the Honeycomb. However, unexpectedly, the swarm had been driven out by some Mechanical Creatures, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise, providing him with a stable source of income.
After moving all the collectibles from the Fortress Base back to Sub-base S-5, Lin Yuan immediately set off for this location. He needed to find out what had forced the Anzhela Swarm out.
Currently, based on the speed at which the Anzhela Venom Bees were repairing the Honeycomb, he could expect to harvest about five kilograms of E7 standard Protective Coating each month, which translated to around 670 Mechanical Coins monthly. This was a significant source of income for him, and he could not afford any mistakes!
However, Lin Yuan did not dare to be careless. After all, whatever had managed to drive away thousands of Anzhela Venom Bees was not a simple Mechanical Creature; at least, the Razor Beetle would not have been capable of such a feat.
What he was doing now was observing from a distance. Fortunately, his two Mechanical Legs had been fully upgraded. Although the Movement System was still not perfect, it allowed him to walk quietly without causing vibrations in the ground from jumping.
In addition, all three of his Laser Pistols and one Laser Sniper Rifle had been completely modified. The parts he purchased with tens of thousands of Mechanical Coins were not just for show. Now, his Laser Pistol's cooldown attack time had improved from one second to 0.5 seconds, and its damage output had increased by 0.5 times. Meanwhile, the cooldown time for the Laser Sniper Rifle had been reduced from five seconds to one second. This significantly enhanced Lin Yuan's overall combat capability and gave him confidence to investigate this area.
However, after three full hours of careful observation, Lin Yuan found nothing unusual within those three buildings; they were eerily quiet, like a graveyard.
"It seems I have no choice but to take the risk and search!"
Although he felt a bit anxious inside, there was no other choice. He had now become a Mechanical Warrior, and the only option was to grow stronger continuously. Fighting was his job, one he could not escape from.
He nimbly jumped out from the crevices of the ruins, feeling like a sneaky rat stealing oil. He observed his surroundings while being ready to launch an attack at any moment. His Mechanical Legs began to move in an alternating manner, mimicking human walking. This way of moving wasn't fast, but it allowed him to tread lightly. After all, he was no longer a Mountain Bike but a Mechanical Body weighing nearly fifty kilograms. Just the Laser Sniper Rifle and Laser Pistol alone weighed almost ten kilograms.
Three kilometers wasn't too far, yet Lin Yuan took a full hour to cover it. He carefully surveyed the isolated buildings from various angles and logged the surrounding terrain into his Auditory Radar's Three-Dimensional Terrain Map. He needed to ensure everything was foolproof; even if faced with irresistible danger, he had to be able to retreat quickly!
During this time, he seized every opportunity to use his Second Audio-Visual Radar to scan the interiors of the abandoned buildings. With the help of Intellect's analytical abilities, he thoroughly mapped out the layout of the buildings. This way, once he entered, he wouldn't get lost; after all, these buildings were over a hundred stories tall and had likely been landmarks before the city was destroyed.
Once everything was prepared, Lin Yuan cautiously approached the buildings. From three kilometers away, they seemed unremarkable, but up close, their towering heights became apparent. The dark shadows combined with empty doors and windows resembled the mouths and eyes of monsters, and eerie winds whistled through the frames—very unsettling!
For some reason, Lin Yuan suddenly recalled horror movies he had watched in the past, like those about haunted houses. He couldn't help but wonder if he could be considered an old ghost himself.
These buildings appeared to be a complex structure shaped like a U, quite spectacular in design. Lin Yuan chose to enter through the central building, which had a massive hole that reached seven or eight stories high, giving the impression that some gigantic creature had emerged from within.
This was also where swarms of Anzhela Venom Bees had previously been most active.
As he entered through the enormous hole, what first registered on Lin Yuan's Auditory Radar were countless dead Anzhela Venom Bees scattered across the ground—hundreds of them—seemingly crushed brutally as if they were mere mosquitoes.
Immediately, Lin Yuan heightened his alertness; he could already imagine that the unknown entity responsible for this was likely extremely powerful with tough skin and a volatile temperament. It was definitely not a Razor Beetle or a Mechanical Mouse!
As he pressed forward cautiously, Lin Yuan noticed traces of corrosion on the ground caused by Anzelra Honey. This must have been inflicted by sharp claws or other weapons used by that unknown creature against Anzhela Honeycomb. From this point alone, it could be determined that its Enhancement Level was at least above 10 points—dangerous enough to rival Colin Red Hornet.
However, Lin Yuan had no choice but to continue exploring despite the risks. Soon enough, he discovered another issue: ahead of him lay a large pit where the ground had collapsed—specifically, it was the basement of this building that had been blasted open by immense force. The Anzhela Honeycomb had previously been located in that dark basement.
Lin Yuan found himself in a bit of a dilemma. The basement clearly had no stairs. He could either search for another entrance or jump down directly. However, this basement was at least several dozen meters deep. Jumping down was easy, but getting back up was beyond his capabilities!
As he hesitated, a low, rumbling buzz suddenly echoed from within the basement. Then, with a whoosh, his Auditory Radar detected a massive shadow shooting up from below. It turned out to be a completely black, yellow Anzhela Venom Bee, about the size of a basin!
"Ding! Detected a deeply mutated Dog-headed Wasp. Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data entry in progress. Data generated: Origin Earth Colonization Star. Following the New Energy Crisis, it underwent a secondary mutation, integrating genes from Anzhela Venom Bee, Colin Red Hornet, and Mars Two-Headed Dog. Known for its violent temperament and solitary nature, it prefers to take advantage of others, robbing other swarms and feasting on honey. Danger level: three stars!"
In an instant, Lin Yuan's intellect provided the basic information about the Dog-headed Wasp, startling him with its high danger rating of three stars. How unlucky could he be?
Fortunately, Lin Yuan was well-trained and always on high alert. The moment the mutated Dog-headed Wasp emerged, his Laser Sniper Rifle quickly locked onto its wings. With a loud bang, he fired a shot that sent the Dog-headed Wasp reeling in mid-air!
However, what terrified Lin Yuan was that the wings of the Dog-headed Wasp—supposedly its weakest point—were completely unharmed. It was then that he noticed the wings were linear, resembling thin slats of a beautifully crafted Venetian blind. The Enhancement Level had already reached 16 points.
