Chapter 424: Chapter 296: Electromagnetic Storm

”Enemy attack, enemy attack!” The Star Thieves in the military station were instantly awakened.

However, at this moment, whatever reaction they wanted to make, it was indeed too late.

The flaming meteor, with its long fiery tail, tore through the night sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

The next instant, the entire ground trembled slightly.

The Star Thieves, just startled awake from their dreams, were a bit confused, ”How did this... end up hitting outside the military station?”

However, the night watch leader of the Star Thieves noticed the anomaly, and his face changed suddenly, ”The target... is the pipeline!”

The military station was not isolated; it had pipelines connecting to other places, including high voltage and low voltage lines, as well as water supply and drainage.

The outer wall of the pipeline was specially treated; except for ground-penetrating bombs, ordinary artillery shells could hardly penetrate its defense.

But the flaming meteor was different. This was a high-power technique that only those of A-level could master, a single-point attack, not a group attack technique.

This technique had the speed and temperature to not only breach the pipeline but also burn the cables inside.

Yet, the next moment, the Star Thieves’ leader was puzzled again, ”Why was the attack on... the high voltage pipeline?”

The high voltage pipeline was related to the military station’s energy - power, firepower, and lighting, which were also very important.

But the military station had its own generator, and more than one, with hot standby, ready to switch online at any time.

Of course, simply using the generator also had disadvantages, not only high power generation costs but also limited load of the generator itself.

In terms of combat alone, some weapons with high energy demands would have reduced attack frequency because of this.

The defensive capability of the energy protection shield would also be somewhat affected.

Simply put, attacking the high voltage pipeline would indeed cause some trouble for the military station, but... the trouble wasn’t significant.

The flaming meteor required high demands on the caster, with A-level being just the threshold. It also required micro-operating capabilities and strong superpower reserves.

With such complex requirements, going through the trouble to destroy a section of high voltage pipeline felt a bit not worth it.

At least, the commander of the Star Thieves couldn’t quite understand: we have a lot of energy reserves, and before reinforcements arrive, can you break the military station?

If you have that effort, why not directly blast a bunker, that would be real destruction.

However, this technique also had a convenient side, which was that the energy fluctuation appeared in the sky, allowing the caster to hide themselves well.

Only those with A-level fire attribute... at least a peak B-level, could perceive the energy fluctuations emitted during the casting.

While the Star Thieves’ leader was still puzzled, another small flaming meteor appeared in the sky.

Watching it rapidly expand, rushing towards the ground, the leader gasped, ”No way, are they serious?”

He had already judged the approximate attack position of the meteor - it was for the backup high voltage pipeline.

As a semi-permanent defense fortress, having a backup pipeline in a military station was normal, prepared for extreme situations.

The opponent’s two flaming meteors had already indicated they hadn’t made a mistake, and the target was indeed the high voltage.

Just as the second meteor was about to land, the leader of the Star Thieves grabbed the communicator.

The second flaming meteor landed heavily. Amid the earth’s tremor, he connected to the superior military station.

”Report! We’ve been attacked by flaming meteors! Attacked by flaming meteors!”

The operator at the superior military station was a bit bewildered, ”What... attack?”

The power of flaming meteors was indeed strong, but attacking a medium-sized military station still seemed a bit lacking; he felt he might have heard wrong.

At this moment, the lights of the military station flickered slightly - the energy supply was damaged and had already switched automatically.

Subsequently, a third meteor appeared in the night sky and crashed down swiftly once more.

The leader of the Star Thieves was dumbstruck and forgot to continue reporting upwards, ”Oh no, this time it’s the low voltage!”

There was only one low voltage pipeline, with no backup, because it wasn’t needed.

Whether it’s voice, image, or data, they could be transmitted wirelessly.

Moreover, there was a satellite relay station over Zarif Planet, which could also transmit via satellite.

Once again, there was a violent shake of the ground, and the report of the Star Thieves’ leader was interrupted; he hurriedly switched to wireless.

Unfortunately, the wireless didn’t connect either. Not convinced, he picked up the handheld, but still couldn’t get through.

So, other than satellite communication, he had no other choice.

The fact proved, there was no worst, only worse; even satellite couldn’t connect, and there was not even a satellite signal on the communicator.

”It’s over,” the Star Thieves’ on-duty leader felt entirely hopeless inside.

He could feel that the attacker was determined to take over the military station.

At this moment, the commander rushed in hastily, not even having time to put on his hat, ”What’s going on, is both high and low voltage cut?”

The leader answered in despair, ”Even wireless and satellite communications are interrupted.”

The commander was first stunned, then asked, ”What about microwave transmission?”

The leader shook his head firmly, ”That doesn’t work either.”

”Encountered electromagnetic shielding,” the commander remained calm and directly picked up the public transmitter.

”Attention all units, attention all units, the military station is under unusual attack, immediately take combat positions, enter special level combat readiness.”

”Repeat, enter special level combat readiness, free to open fire if necessary, do not actively advance, hold and wait for assis...”

The word ”tance” hadn’t left his mouth when the transmitter emitted a ”buzzing” sound, and then it... actually started smoking.

”Darn it...” The commander was dumbfounded, ”Is this... is this... an electromagnetic storm?”

The next moment, he snapped back to reality and shouted loudly, ”Orderly, quickly organize a hundred couriers for reporting, quickly!”

Then he glared at the duty officer, ”You go too, be quick, otherwise we might fall before reinforcements arrive!”

”Wait for rescue?” The duty officer’s mouth revealed a bitter smile as he turned and ran out.

Communications were cut off, signals could only be transmitted manually, no use complaining, got to keep going.

Hearing his muttering, the commander pursed his lips, unable to help showing a bitter smile.

He also knew clearly, reinforcements would not arrive anytime soon.

To be precise, reinforcements from the upper-level military station could not be sent before dawn.

This military station had to hold out alone until dawn, unfortunately, even communication was lost, complaining was a luxury.

Can it hold out until dawn? Well... that’s really uncertain, but he must appear confident.

If even he gives up, his subordinates will only panic more, definitely won’t last until dawn.

Looking at the time, there are nearly three hours until dawn, the commander couldn’t help but feel a bit despairing.

The flaming meteors should be Pan Yifu’s doing, electromagnetic interference is ninety percent likely caused by Black Heaven, even though these don’t seem like B-level techniques.

The key is... that Earth Attribute A-level hasn’t shown up yet, so what should I do to endure until dawn?

What puzzled him more was, this military station isn’t too big, why attack with such desperation?

Meanwhile, Pan Yifu was praising Qu Jianlei, ”This electromagnetic storm... quite powerful.”

It’s full-spectrum interference and high-intensity magnetic field rapid transition! Qu Jianlei corrected him silently in his mind.

However, he didn’t intend to explain anything, because this technique was completely calculated by himself.

To be precise, this isn’t a mature technique, but a temporary design based on the electromagnetic attribute’s characteristics.

Though such a design wasn’t something he could spontaneously create, he had previous concepts and experiments.

Back then, while calculating cultivation methods for Bentley, he deduced numerous assumptions, conducted extensive experiments.

And electromagnetic fields are closely related to mechanical knowledge, his expertise in this area far exceeded ordinary electromagnetic attribute warriors.

In other words, although he mastered techniques of many attributes, only the electromagnetic attribute was fully internalized.

When Pan Yifu requested techniques with similar functions, to be honest, Qu Jianlei was initially confused.

He felt even a truly A-level electromagnetic attribute warrior might not be able to perform such techniques.

At least he didn’t find such techniques from the gorge’s attribute research institute.

But many documents from the institute stated: techniques are never fixed, there never used to be such a variety of techniques!

In fact, that’s exactly what the institute did, they attempt to research more derived applications, even... new techniques!

Generally speaking, A-level can try independent research, some geniuses even innovated techniques at the B-level stage.

So Qu Jianlei reluctantly agreed—worst case scenario, he would also be a genius, yes, one in a million.

Actually, the military station’s size gave him headaches, this is really hard to explain.

He indeed has the ability to cover such a large area, but sustaining output... is basically not achievable at the B-level.

However, seeing old Pan boldly pulling out big moves, he felt it wouldn’t be fair not to accompany him.

Upon hearing this, he forced a smile, ”Can’t hold much longer, hurry up and take action.”

Pan Yifu flicked his hand, tossing him a B-level Crystal, ”Can you use it?”

Qu Jianlei took it, nodding slightly, saying in surprise, ”I can use it, but... is it worthwhile?”

”There’s no such thing as worthwhile or not,” Pan Yifu replied casually, ”Just try your best.”

Qu Jianlei has always been puzzled, those three flaming meteors old Pan used just now involved quite a bit of superpower.

Considering further attacks are needed, old Pan would likely need Crystal Rejuvenation too.

He truly couldn’t understand: Aren’t you planning for the future?

But now it seemed, he began to understand, ”This stuff isn’t cheap, are you betting big?”

Pan Yifu answered casually, ”I can afford this much.”

This boasting... I give it ninety-nine points! Qu Jianlei nodded, ”No wonder you’re an A-level big shot!”

However, the next moment, Pan Yifu said, ”The cost is indeed high, but without taking a risk, how to break through?”
