One by one, the Anzhela Venom Bees fell under the relentless fire of the Laser Guns. These creatures simply couldn't withstand the direct hits, especially with Lin Yuan's rapid shooting speed. The three Laser Guns fired once per second, while the Sniper Rifle had a five-second cooldown. Coupled with the precision targeting of his Level Four Auditory Radar, Lin Yuan managed to shoot without missing a single target.
In just ten seconds, he had taken down over thirty of the Anzhela Venom Bees. However, at that moment, it seemed that these creatures had been provoked. Led by a particularly large Anzhela Venom Bee, they ceased their chaotic destruction and instead launched a coordinated assault on Lin Yuan.
Now, Lin Yuan could no longer defend Mouse One. He quickly retreated towards the nearest Command Tower Hall. The Anzhela Venom Bees were frenzied, charging like a herd of rampaging bulls. Many of the parts Lin Yuan had collected in the hall were immediately destroyed. But he couldn't afford to worry about that now; he continued to shoot desperately while backing into a narrow Passageway.
In this confined space, Lin Yuan's Sniper Rifle proved invaluable. Its powerful damage often allowed him to take down two or three Anzhela Venom Bees with a single shot.
However, in front of these crazed bees, Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body was also taking hits, suffering multiple punctures from their thick, dark stingers, which significantly slowed him down.
But what choice did he have? Lin Yuan could only fight to the bitter end, scrambling like a cornered dog in the room at the end of the Passageway while accurately eliminating one Anzhela Venom Bee after another. If any dared to approach him, he would leap desperately, using his four Mechanical Arms in conjunction with his waist's 360-degree rotation to hold them off.
Throughout this ordeal, his shooting skills remained unaffected. The number of Anzhela Venom Bees continued to dwindle; after all, they were still relatively inexperienced.
After a full thirty seconds, he finally took down the last Anzhela Venom Bee perfectly!
At that moment, however, his Health Points had already dropped by over four hundred, and his Mechanical Body was riddled with holes—truly battered and bruised.
Taking a long breath of relief inwardly, Lin Yuan felt not despair but exhilaration. In those brief forty seconds, his performance had been extraordinary compared to when he faced just one Anzhela Venom Bee before, which had nearly overwhelmed him. He had grown significantly stronger.
Of course, there were still flaws; his Firepower coverage was insufficient. Against over a hundred Anzhela Venom Bees, he struggled to suppress them effectively. Ultimately, his Firepower was still too weak; the Laser Gun's cooldown was too long—one shot per second wasted his Auditory Radar's potential!
It was important to note that with his Level Four Auditory Radar now capable of clearly tracking the attack trajectories of those Anzhela Venom Bees, he missed many opportunities due to a lack of sufficient Firepower. Otherwise, he shouldn't have sustained such severe injuries.
Or perhaps this could be called having high expectations but low abilities! It seems that I need to strengthen the modifications on the Laser Gun.
While contemplating the gains from this battle, Lin Yuan quickly dashed out of the Command Tower Hall. He needed to check on the condition of Mouse One. It turned out that this thing could really draw aggro; after just one round, it attracted over a hundred Anzhela Venom Bees. It seemed that energy shields were not a good idea. He would be transporting various collectibles to Sub-base S-5 in the future, which could be quite troublesome!
After a thorough inspection, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Mouse One had sustained minimal damage. Notably, since Mouse One used a Low-Level Energy engine, it wouldn’t explode from ordinary bumps and scrapes unless it fell from several thousand feet. This was much safer than fuel-powered aircraft from the 21st century.
Next, Lin Yuan hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield. After all, there were over a hundred Anzhela Venom Bees here. The Anzelra Honey he could collect would fetch a substantial amount of Mechanical Coins at the Sub-base—truly wonderful!
However, Lin Yuan was puzzled about why these Anzhela Venom Bees were so sensitive. He had only piloted Mouse One around for a short while, and they had already emerged. Could it be that their nest was nearby?
This thought sparked something in Lin Yuan's mind. He was currently in dire need of Mechanical Coins, and since these creatures posed little danger, they were perfect for farming!
In total, Lin Yuan managed to collect 11 Anzhela Venom Bees. After gathering the Anzhela Venomous Bee Honey from within them, he obtained 40 grams. According to the purchasing price in Mechanical City, he could earn about 789 Mechanical Coins from this amount, which felt somewhat unprofitable given how expensive things were in Mechanical City.
Then Lin Yuan considered another issue: the honey inside an Anzhela Venom Bee wouldn’t be much, but what about within a Honeycomb? That would certainly yield a lot! If he could harvest several kilograms or so—wow! The Mechanical Coins gained would be substantial.
The more than a hundred Anzhela Venom Bees he encountered earlier were definitely part of a hive. So if he could locate this Honeycomb, he could wipe them all out!
Of course, a hive would contain at least hundreds or even thousands of Anzhela Venom Bees, so he needed to be cautious.
It would be best to attract them little by little and take them down in batches!
"Hehe!"
With a faint smile in his heart, Lin Yuan finished clearing the battlefield. He didn't bother to heal his Mechanical Body; instead, he needed to scout the area. He was now fairly certain that the nest of the Anzhela Venom Bee must be located to the east or south of Fortress Base. He had already searched the north and west thoroughly, making it unlikely for the Anzhela Venom Bee nest to be hidden there.
Emerging from Fortress Base, Lin Yuan began his search from the due east and then moved southwest, spreading out in a fan shape.
He was now quite adept at this meticulous and dense carpet search. A three-kilometer search radius allowed him to maintain a sufficient safety zone. Even if he encountered twenty or thirty Anzhela Venom Bees at once, he could eliminate them all in a matter of moments.
This kind of search still took considerable time, but Lin Yuan was not in a hurry. His Health Points had dropped by more than half, and based on his recovery rate of 0 Health Points per day, he would need at least ten days to fully recover.
Thus, he continued his detailed search. Occasionally, he stumbled upon unexpected surprises, such as Razor Beetles. These creatures posed no threat to him anymore; even when facing four or five Razor Beetles simultaneously, he could handle them with ease. He didn't even need to employ kite tactics; with his excellent jumping ability and 360-degree Waist Rotation, he could toy with those Razor Beetles effortlessly. His Alloy Spike also proved effective time and again, allowing him to gradually accumulate experience and proficiency in close combat.
When Lin Yuan's fan-shaped search radius reached 45 kilometers, he finally discovered clues about the Anzhela Venom Bee Honeycomb. Near an abandoned building, he noticed numerous Anzhela Venom Bees coming and going. Without a doubt, the Honeycomb was located within that abandoned structure, and it appeared that this hive was no small group—there were at least thousands of bees!
