Most of the armored fragments that flew off struck the surrounding buildings, causing another wave of severe destruction to structures that were already barely standing under the chain collapse. More skyscrapers fell into a collapsed state.
A few of the armored fragments hit the surrounding other electromagnetic railguns. Unlike the concrete fragments that left only grey marks earlier, these powerful armored fragments meant business, instantly creating large metal tears at the points of impact.
Before Zhang Yanhang could react, a nuclear reactor on one of the electromagnetic railguns was coincidentally hit and exploded instantly. The massive shockwave and flying dust spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a grey-black mushroom cloud was already rising.
The electromagnetic railguns, which were already swaying from the impact of flying armored fragments, were all flipped over by the shockwave of the nuclear explosion due to their large size and surface area.
Some of the electromagnetic railguns that were closer were toppled by the shockwave and rolled across the ground, shedding countless outer armor and components for over a hundred meters before finally coming to a tangled stop, unable to move anymore.

...
Of course, the power of this nuclear explosion was primarily due to the chain reaction. The railgun that had its nuclear reactor hit by armored fragments was very close to the one Zhang Yanhang had just hit directly, so it also triggered that reactor, resulting in the current outcome.
Besides that, Zhang Yanhang thought that the higher enrichment of the fuel rods in the railgun's nuclear reactor might also be a reason. Since the railgun was inherently more powerful and performed so outrageously, it was likely using weapon-grade enriched uranium as fuel rods, making the explosion nearly equivalent to a regular nuclear blast.
When Zhang Yanhang lifted the electromagnetic railgun again to inspect it, only half was left. Unavoidably, it had been at the explosion's epicenter, meaning half of it was blown away, and its reactor had also exploded.
Even with only half a corpse left, Zhang Yanhang was not picky. He casually swung it again, smashing it against an airborne railgun, instantly bringing it down. It hit a railgun that had barely survived the nuclear explosion and was struggling on the ground, sending both to the afterlife.

While Zhang Yanhang continued his assault, several railguns that had been blown apart by the nuclear blast reassembled in the air, connecting end to end to form an electromagnetic railgun plus version over a thousand meters long.
Zhang Yanhang could clearly perceive through Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil that their energy transmission channels connected during this combination, leading to a significant increase in overall attack power.
"Good heavens, not only can they transform, but they can also combine? Fortunately, they haven't developed into a combined giant robot like the Dinosaur Team, or else these ordinary Fourth Tier Two-star monsters would be underutilized—at least Fourth Tier Late Stage would be necessary."
Regardless, Zhang Yanhang increasingly felt that the Umbrella company's technology was a bit far-fetched. Or perhaps the Licking Dog Researcher made a new technological breakthrough, allowing such innovations.
After the combination succeeded, the electromagnetic railgun plus version launched an attack. As its rails lit up one after the other, a dark red laser, thicker than a house, shot over.
Initially, Zhang Yanhang didn't pay much mind, but he quickly noticed something was wrong upon impact. The surface of his energy shield was covered in massive ripples and waves under the dark red laser.
He glanced at his Shield Value Limit and was shocked to see his shield value plummeting like a floodgate lifting, with a decrease of at least a thousand points per second. At this rate, his shield value limit of 160,000 would be gone in three minutes—how terrifying!
"Is this an armor penetration attack? No wonder it's bio-weaponry developed by the Umbrella company. It hasn't inherited the Tyrant's Death Claw, but it inherited armor penetration damage from the laser cannon, with over a thousand points per second—impressive indeed.
Although the damage is due to five electromagnetic railguns being pieced together, it's still formidable. An ordinary Fourth Tier Awakener would be forcefully obliterated in seconds."
Previously, Zhang Yanhang thought these Fourth Tier monsters couldn't breach his defenses even with skills, yet he now felt the terror of armor penetration attacks once more.
Though unsure of how long the electromagnetic railgun plus version would last, Zhang Yanhang knew he couldn't hold out much longer, as the remaining ground and airborne railguns were also combining.
If three plus versions focused fire on him simultaneously, he could only survive for a minute. This was indeed a precarious situation—yes, genuinely perilous.
Before Zhang Yanhang could act, within five seconds, the first electromagnetic railgun plus stopped shooting due to energy transmission channel overload—commonly known as entering skill cooldown.
"Turns out, it's not as powerful as I thought. After all, it's just a Fourth Tier Two-star monster."
Zhang Yanhang silently shook his head and immediately activated the Death Wave Skill.
As the Death Wave spread, the two railguns on the ground and in the sky, which had finished combining and were about to relay fire the armor penetration laser, instantly fell into silence.
It seemed as if an invisible hand clenched their bodies, crushing the originally hollow railguns into segments of nearly solid, large 'steel bars.'
The dark red blood mixed with light blue coolant spurted out from the connecting point of the carriages like the juice from a squished insect, splattering onto the surrounding concrete ground, slowly soaking this cracked and radioactive dust-covered desolate land.

...
At this moment, the mushroom cloud generated by the nuclear explosion finally began to slowly dissipate, but the radiative cloud formed by the ensuing radioactive dust was continuously drifting downward from the sky, combining with the grey flocculent unidentified matter, falling like snowflakes onto the ground.
This scene inevitably reminded Zhang Yanhang of the pleasant times he used thermo-baric bombs to bombard monsters in the Ashen World. Although it was a sub-nuclear weapon, in terms of the dust cloud, it was indeed very similar.
It's just that the dust cloud formed by the thermo-baric bomb does not contain radiation and is darker in color, after all, it results from burning, naturally tending towards grey-black.
After successfully releasing the Death Wave, because the interval was over a second, Zhang Yanhang's Energy Shield, whose Shield Value Limit had just been reduced by over five thousand, instantly returned to full status.
Therefore, it has to be admitted that Zhang Yanhang's Energy Shield's strongest point is never the Shield Value Limit but the recovery speed of the Shield Value, which is the most overpowered part.
Even though he currently has a high Shield Value Limit of 164638 points, the Shield Value can still maintain a fixed recovery rate of 20% per second, i.e., recovering nearly thirty-three thousand points per second, and unless someone can break through this recovery rate, no one can break his Energy Shield against his will.
Because the recovery speed of the Shield Value is extremely important, Zhang Yanhang has always wanted to enhance it, but as of now, he has yet to find a way, as the Technique Immunity has advanced several times without showing any sign of improving the Shield Value recovery speed.
However, obtaining an enhancement from other aspects is even more difficult, as Zhang Yanhang has not encountered anything else related to shields besides the Technique Immunity, making the enhancement of the Shield Value recovery speed indeed incredibly hard.
After dealing with all the electromagnetic railguns, Zhang Yanhang finally began focusing on the related kill information.
"Speaking of which, they'll merge but still calculate the kill information separately?"
Just now, Zhang Yanhang couldn't find any information on the Electromagnetic Railgun Plus and only found separate electromagnetic railguns.
"Alas, what a pity. If the Electromagnetic Railgun Plus could be calculated separately, there might have been a new wave of treasure chests, but now, only one type can be obtained."
"But at least it's comforting that the value of the electromagnetic railgun's soul points is relatively high, a full seven thousand points."
Although this is the first time Zhang Yanhang has killed a Fourth Tier Two Star Monster, he can still sense that the soul point value should be considered relatively high.
After all, it is more than double the value of seven thousand soul points compared to the Fourth Tier One-star Monster Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank worth two thousand eight hundred soul points, or rather, exactly 2.5 times the value of the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank.
So, no matter how you look at it, the soul point value of the electromagnetic railgun should be relatively high.
"And such a high soul point value is indeed a good match for the electromagnetic railgun's power, after all, compared to the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank, the electromagnetic railgun is indeed much stronger, not only more mobile in the air but also with transformation and combination abilities, even in close combat, it can leverage its weight advantage."
Compared to the previously useless Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank, Zhang Yanhang thinks that the electromagnetic railgun should be the culmination of the Umbrella company's work.
After all, the later ancestor virus-infected beings tainted with divinity definitely aren't the result of a tech-focused modern company like the Umbrella Company's efforts, but products of natural mutations after a virus leak.
After all, the most common occurrence in the Umbrella Company's virus research is a virus leak, far more frequent than successful occurrences, not even in the same quantity level.
Therefore, gambling on the probability with card draws surely favors the much more frequent virus leaks to breed stronger infected creatures.
Indeed, even from a realistic perspective, the products in experiments are nowhere near as rapid and fierce in mutation as viruses released into society, given that the diversity and comprehensiveness, not to mention unpredictability, of a societal environment are always beyond the simulation of a confined lab environment.
After resolving all the electromagnetic railguns, Zhang Yanhang waited slightly at the original place, then finally as the scattered or ground-cropped bodies of the electromagnetic railguns began to slowly refresh the treasure chests one by one.
First, naturally, the body of the electromagnetic railgun initially cracked by Zhang Yanhang, due to the first-kill reward, unsurprisingly exhibited a Golden quality drop chest.
And because of a long interval between kills, after the first drop chest was refreshed, Zhang Yanhang waited a little longer for all the drop chests to refresh.
Zhang Yanhang counted the numbers, including the first kill reward; there were four Golden quality drop chests in total, and he had just taken down more than twenty electromagnetic railguns, so the treasure box drop rate for the electromagnetic railgun was very stable, pretty much the same as the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank over there.
