"It's almost ten thirty in the evening now. In other words, I've been in the Ashen World for about four and a half hours, leaving only seven and a half hours until the transmission channel to Raccoon City closes.

In terms of percentage, the time I've consumed has reached 37.5%, more than a third, yet the cleaning progress has not reached even a quarter. No matter how you look at it, it's definitely a bit behind."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang immediately continued his efforts to hunt monsters. After all, shouldn't the cleaning progress at least reach more than a quarter?

......

November 1st, Sunday, Halloween, and also the first day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World, at ten twenty-four in the evening, Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, Newcastle Town.

It must be said that the Newcastle where Zhang Yanhang is currently located is also a very common place name. You can find cities with the same name in Great Britain, Australia, Canada, the United States, New Zealand... and even South Africa.

But clearly, Zhang Yanhang doesn't really care about names. What he cares more about is the new monster in this small town of Newcastle, a kind he had never encountered before, but obviously belonging to the Fourth Tier.

Of course, whether to call it a monster or not, Zhang Yanhang was a bit hesitant because, from the outside, it actually looked more like a machine or a high-tech tank.

However, after using Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil for a detailed scan, Zhang Yanhang discovered that the object, which looked like a tank on the outside, was actually filled with all sorts of strange flesh and blood tissues inside, completely replacing the presence of a driver, making this tank more like the outer armor of its internal flesh and blood tissues.

So, from this aspect, Zhang Yanhang felt it might still be reasonable to call it a monster.

In terms of height, Zhang Yanhang estimated that the tank's height should be around seven meters, the width also seven meters, and the length at least above twenty meters.

From this, Zhang Yanhang speculated that even if the material technology of the Umbrella Company was quite advanced, able to manufacture lightweight special alloys, the weight of this giant tank should at least exceed a thousand tons, indeed fitting the level of the Fourth Tier.

However, for a form like a tank, weight doesn't really complement its own attack power, after all, a tank can't stand up and use its tracks to hit people, or it would become a Transformer, wouldn't it?

And if it simply uses tracks to crush, how stupid must one be to get crushed by a tank?

Therefore, for enemies of this type of tank, Zhang Yanhang felt its weight was quite a meaningless aspect. After all, it couldn't exert much effect, only increasing power consumption, so the lighter, the better to free up the engine.

Of course, this was Zhang Yanhang's evaluation from a melee perspective, but in reality, a tank's weight represents its armor thickness. The thicker the armor, the higher the defensive power, allowing it to carry larger caliber artillery. So, from this perspective, weight also represents strength.

Just as Zhang Yanhang was thinking this, he was suddenly hit with a 'duang' by the high-tech tank.

Of course, he was still flying in the air at the time, and as for how he was hit in the air, that has to do with this high-tech tank.

Just as he started observing, the high-tech tank suddenly extended two nozzles from the bottom, spewing out large streams of blue flames, akin to vector nozzles on an aircraft.

At first, he thought it was an ordinary propulsion device used to speed up, but unexpectedly, right before his eyes, this ultra-heavy tank weighing at least a thousand tons was forcefully lifted off the ground by these two propulsion devices, then charged straight towards him.

Moreover, despite its seemingly clumsy appearance, it was surprisingly agile when flying, more flexible than a drone. So, after hitting him, it immediately tried to crush him with its tracks.

Zhang Yanhang had previously said that a tank couldn't stand up and use its tracks to hit people, but who would have thought this tank could fly up and use its tracks to hit people.

However, the structure of such a tank meant that even if it could use tracks to hit people, it certainly couldn't match a Transformer in close combat.

So, although he was indeed crushed around by the tank, Zhang Yanhang suffered no injuries. But it must be said, this tank, due to its large size, was indeed more intimidating than a normal tank.

After all, in Zhang Yanhang's impression, the largest tank in the Main World, the 'Mouse-style' super-heavy tank, was only over three meters tall, while other ordinary tanks were mostly between two and three meters. Therefore, this unknown high-tech tank was at least as tall as three ordinary tanks stacked together.

And precisely because of its larger size, this magnetic energy tank, which very likely also had a miniature nuclear reactor installed inside, had an exceptionally thick cannon barrel.

If the lasers fired from the palms of those earlier Talos Tyrants were only as thick as a bowl, barely considered a laser beam,

then the laser fired by this magnetic energy tank was thicker than Zhang Yanhang's fist. In other words, its diameter was almost like a large round table, truly qualifying as a 'laser cannon', whereas the earlier Talos Tyrants could only be described as using a 'laser beam' in comparison.

And why does Zhang Yanhang know so well?

That's naturally because he is currently being relentlessly shot at by this round table-thick red laser cannon, mainly because after the magnetic energy tank found it couldn't crush him, it retreated slightly and immediately started firing at him.

However, Zhang Yanhang had just significantly upgraded his defensive power with the XX-grade Talent [Sea House Addition], so although the laser cannon kept firing, the surface of the light blue energy shield didn't even ripple.

Nonetheless, being fired at by the laser cannon did make Zhang Yanhang reminisce about being shot at by the Magma Beam used by the Molten Fire Demon, a Fourth Tier Lord Monster, at the Volcano Permanent Teleportation Channel.

However, at that time, the magma beam had very strong impact and quite impressive attack power due to its physical characteristics.

But now the laser cannon is a bit lacking, purely energy attack, although the laser itself can produce a kind of impact force called 'light pressure' due to physical characteristics, it is relatively small, far less than the impact force generated by normal physical attacks.

So, the sense of impact it brings to Zhang Yanhang is naturally far less than the magma beam at that time, of course, the huge power gap between the two is also a very important factor.

After all, the Molten Fire Demon is a Lord Monster, coupled with environmental bonuses, so it can produce magma beams thicker than a house, while in normal situations without environmental support, it's not quite possible.

But anyway, comparing magma beams thicker than a house with laser cannons only as thick as a round table itself is unfair.

Just as Zhang Yanhang wanted to end this unfairness and give the tank a 'piece of mind', this electromagnetic tank seemed to activate some skill, the originally bright red laser beam suddenly changed to bright red, with a circle of visible thick currents on the outside, making Zhang Yanhang's energy shield crackle.

But that's the extent of it, Zhang Yanhang's defensive power can confidently withstand Peak Fourth Tier monsters, how could it be broken through by this Early Stage Fourth Tier Monster? So, for Zhang Yanhang, the only feeling was that the visual effect was a bit cooler.

Moreover, this electromagnetic tank even popped out a few launchers from the top, seemingly loaded with anti-tank missiles, with a few swooshes, a bunch of missiles shot towards Zhang Yanhang.

But Zhang Yanhang ignored these missiles, allowing them to explode in front of him, while he pushed through the laser cannon, punching through the turret of the magnetic energy tank.

As for why not directly blow it up, naturally, because he wanted to leave a complete corpse, but before Zhang Yanhang could pull his arm out of the turret, the miniature nuclear reactor inside the magnetic energy tank exploded instantly and also detonated a large number of stored missiles inside it.

With a loud bang, a small gray mushroom cloud appeared in the air, the external armor of the magnetic energy tank was completely blown away, turning into a large number of metal fragments, shooting towards Zhang Yanhang's energy shield like armor-piercing cones under the huge impact.

Then, at the first instant of hitting the energy shield, they were twisted and deformed, directly compressed into irregular metal pieces, making crisp collision sounds.

And its internal various flesh tissues, a large part turned into ashes at the beginning of the explosion due to high temperatures, while the remaining part basically adhered to the remaining external armor, dispersed in all directions, mixed with huge 'metal fragments' composed of outer armor, shooting into surrounding reinforced concrete buildings.

Only a couple of seconds passed, and the surrounding buildings were riddled with holes from the huge metal fragments, even the relatively fragile wooden buildings collapsed immediately after only a hit.

And although it was just a mini nuclear explosion, it still generated quite a considerable shock wave.

As the shock wave spread, the glass on the already riddled buildings shattered, and even some multi-story buildings, already teetering from metal fragments, collapsed amid the shock wave.

Of course, this doesn't mean these buildings are shoddy work, in fact, the building quality in Umbrella City is still very high, it's just that the explosion power of the magnetic energy tank is relatively high, after all, even a mini nuclear explosion is still a nuclear explosion, especially when accompanied by missile explosions.

And even for the experienced Umbrella company, it's clearly impossible to add anti-nuclear explosion features on top of earthquake protection for houses, as it is extremely unnecessary, therefore, the current situation is the most normal scenario.

And accompanying the collapse of buildings and the dust stirred up by the shock wave, a larger mushroom cloud base was slowly forming.

Obviously wanting to leave a complete corpse, but ultimately due to the nuclear explosion, parts were flying everywhere, Zhang Yanhang somewhat felt speechless about this situation.

"It seems, ever since they loaded miniature nuclear reactors inside the body, these monsters might indeed have acquired self-destruction skills..."

After all, Zhang Yanhang hit the turret earlier, not the engine, but hitting the turret still caused the miniature nuclear reactor to trigger an explosion, Zhang Yanhang thought the only explanation should be these monsters indeed have self-destruction skills.

But although the power of the self-destruction skill is much greater than normal attacks, for Zhang Yanhang, it still couldn't break through his energy shield.

So, compared to this self-destruction, Zhang Yanhang was more concerned about the kill notification that appeared after taking down this tank.

[Successfully killed Fourth Tier One-star Monster 'Z-39 Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank [Amphibious] (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +2800.]

"Z-39 Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank? I know Coulomb's Law, it's the first fundamental law in electromagnetism, a law about the interaction force between static point charges, now the problem comes, what is this Kulunzo thing?

Could it be that the researcher discovered something new from Coulomb's Law and manufactured this Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank?"

Zhang Yanhang felt there was a great probability of this, so it definitely wasn't a naming coincidence.

"It's just that this Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank ultimately suffered from the disadvantage of being a tank, how come it's only worth two thousand eight hundred Soul Points? That's too low, isn't it?"

Zhang Yanhang remembered the Zombie Santa he took down in the Christmas Teleportation Channel, which was also a Fourth Tier One-star Ordinary Monster, was worth three thousand five hundred Soul Points, and this Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank had seven hundred Soul Points less than Zombie Santa, that's not a small number, that's a quarter less.

For this, Zhang Yanhang thought it must certainly be because the tank's close combat ability was too poor, thus resulting in this situation.

After all, tanks are indeed only suitable for long-range attacks, once in close combat, especially right next to the tank, the power of the gun barrel can't be exerted at all.

So, he really couldn't understand why the Umbrella company would make such a flawed thing, at least if they had continued to make a stronger Tyrant on the basis of the Talos Tyrant, the Soul Point value would definitely not be only two thousand eight hundred points.
