Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 31 Speed ​​of Life and Death

Perhaps because a larger target appeared in the attack range, the Infinite Modifier immediately switched the capsule dwelling to the first target for destruction, ignoring Li Zheng who had already been locked on, and blasted the capsule dwelling away with a single shot.

Crash, rumble.

Looking at the capsule dwelling that had rolled over and crashed into the edge of the room, Li Zheng felt like crying but also a little nervous.

"Although the capsule dwelling is indestructible, it's not very big. With enough strength, it's easy to blow it away." Li Zheng was still shaken. If he had been inside just now, after that tumble, he might have died from the fall.

【00:40】

The countdown timer on the detector continued to tick steadily, unaffected by external objects.

Li Zheng suddenly woke up; now was not the time to be daydreaming!
Turning around, I saw that the Infinite Modifier had indeed adjusted the gun barrel, and his next target was still me!

"run!"

Li Zheng lowered his head and charged forward recklessly, hoping that nothing else would go wrong in the next forty seconds.

boom!
Another loud bang came from behind Li Zheng. Thanks to the capsule residence which delayed him a little, his speed once again exceeded the lead of the Wuji Modifier.

"The Limitless Transformer is running out of energy. Is there a way to accelerate its energy consumption rate?"

If Li Zheng hadn't been injured, he might have tried sitting idly by waiting to die and gambling everything on dodging attacks.

But now, given the circumstances, he has no choice but to rack his brains for a solution.

"Let's try attacking again. I don't believe it won't consume energy if it makes any unnecessary movements!"

With a firm thought, Li Zheng slightly tilted his head so that the detector could include the Wuji Modifier in its detection range, and then raised his gun to fire.

shhhhhh!
Three shots were fired in quick succession, each containing a trace of genetic energy, forming ice-blue bullets that were fired at the Limitless Modifier.

As expected, Li Zheng's three counterattacks were all dodged by the opponent in the same bizarre and twisting manner as before, and all three shots missed their mark.

However, these three shots were not entirely without merit.

【00:35】

【00:33】

Just as the Infinite Transformer dodged three bullets in succession, the countdown on the detector suddenly skipped a second.

Although it only accelerated by one second, it was like hearing heavenly music to Li Zheng!

"effective!"

Li Zheng became excited, locked the gun barrel in the direction of the Wuji Modifier, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

shhhhhh!
shhhhh!

shhhhhh!
……

Click, click!
After firing all sixteen remaining special rounds in one go, the Desert Eagle made a jamming sound and then automatically switched to normal firing mode.

The genetic force also decreased by sixteen points as the bullet was fired.

【00:31】

【00:29】

【00:27】

The sixteen icy snake needles were not all dodged by the Wuji Modifier; several of them still hit, leaving its armor pitted but not penetrating.

"Damn it, what material is this armor made of? It can't even be penetrated by special ammunition imbued with platinum-level gene abilities?"

Li Zheng instinctively reached for the snake grass needle to refill it, only to find that he had reached for nothing.

"Damn it, we shouldn't have thrown the capsule dwellings out!" Li Zheng cursed angrily. "Sure enough, opportunism never ends well!"

"Zi."

A faint hydraulic sound came from nearby, attracting Li Zheng's attention, and he turned to look.

But they discovered that one of the metal doors, which had been closed, had opened by itself!
And this door was right behind the Wuji Transformer, even closer than Li Zheng.

The next moment, a young man stepped out of the membrane and saw the Wuji Modifier fire a shot at Li Zheng.

"boom!"

In the flames, Li Zheng was unable to create distance this time and was violently thrown away by the powerful shockwave.

"Fuck!"

The young man instinctively screamed, then quickly covered his mouth, afraid of attracting the attention of the terrifying monster in front of him.

However, it was too late.

Compared to Li Zheng, the young man was closer to being a Wuji Transformer.

Undoubtedly, he will be the next target.

"Run! Get out of the way!"

Li Zheng lay on the ground and shouted a warning to the other party.

“Oh…oh!”

The young man wasn't stupid. When he saw the revolver with a caliber comparable to a cannon barrel that the monster revealed after turning around, he was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could, hugging the wall.

He hadn't run more than a few steps when the Infinite Modifier opened fire.

boom!
Unfortunately, the young man was not as fast as Li Zheng. If he hadn't been uninjured, he probably would have been killed by the first shot.

Flames and shockwaves swept through, instantly throwing the young man to the ground like a rolling gourd.

But the next second, he scrambled to his feet, covered in dirt, and continued running like crazy.

"Ugh……"

Li Zheng sighed. How can there still be such honest people in this society?

You just kept running when I told you to?
Fight back!
You're not like Fengshan, a pushover who can be beaten and scolded without ever fighting back.
【00:20】

"There are still 20 seconds left. The interval between each shot by the Wuji Modifier is about 5 to 8 seconds, which means it can still fire three to five more shots."

Li Zheng glanced at the countdown and suddenly felt a darkness engulf his vision.

The new player is clearly not very skilled, and probably not very bright either. To expect to turn the tide with him is nothing short of wishful thinking.

"Damn it, don't you have a weapon? Take it out and fight back!" Li Zheng was furious and cursed loudly.

"Yes! Thanks for reminding me!"

As if waking from a dream, the young man reached out and took a miniature gun from his capsule residence.

As soon as the gun was fired, sparks flew from the muzzle.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

Li Zheng: "..."

Well, this is a complete disaster.

You can now take your hands off the keyboard and type GG.

Damn, this player is using an Uzi!

With the firepower of a submachine gun, how could it possibly take down a Wuji Modifier?
ding ding ding...

As expected, the Wuji Modifier, who could dodge Li Zheng's bullets imbued with his abilities, didn't even bother to dodge. The Uzi bullets struck the armor, producing a pleasant impact sound.

"..."

Li Zheng was silent for a moment, and finally managed to utter a single word: "Terrible!"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Even worse than when I played Sekiro!"

"boom!"

The Infinite Modifier fired another shot, knocking the player down once again.

"It's over... uh..."

Just when Li Zheng thought the other player was finally going to die, the player suddenly flipped over, stood up again, and ran off as if nothing had happened.

They ran around so happily.

He was panting heavily.

Li Zheng stared in disbelief: "This physique, damn... inhuman!"

"Brother...brother...quick, quick, think of something...my weapon is too weak, I can't break it!" The player ran while panting, his words barely audible.

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng closed his eyes, pretending not to hear.

What can I do?
You can't even break through their defenses, and the Limitless Modifier doesn't have a health bar, let alone a forced -1-1-1.

Hopeless!
Wait to die!
I'll go first!
"Waaah! Waaah!"

Li Zheng closed his eyes and awaited death when he suddenly heard Xiaoying's cry.

When Li Zheng opened his eyes, he was pleasantly surprised to see that Xiao Ying had actually flown out of the capsule residence, holding a handful of snake grass needles in her little paws, and was flying quickly toward him.

"Well done, Sakura!"

Li Zheng was instantly energized.

Given his current physical condition, he wouldn't dare fire a single shot in normal firing mode.

Otherwise, with the Desert Eagle's enormous recoil, it might have easily pushed the broken ribs away and sent him to his death on the spot.

After all, his ribs had already shifted from rolling several times to avoid the attacks of the Wuji Modifier.

Li Zheng even felt that the broken ribs had pierced into his internal organs, and that he was only hanging on by a thread.

【00:17】

Sakura activates her ability "Fast Flight".

【00:15】

The Infinite Transformer fired another shot.

As expected, the new player was knocked to the ground again.

The player was now unable to get up for a moment.

However, Li Zheng saw his chest heaving and knew that the other man was still alive.

【00:14】

The Infinite Transformer began to turn around, and this time its target was Sakura, the only one present who could still move.

【00:13】

Sakura reached Li Zheng's side, dropped the snake needles, and flew away.

At the same time, Li Zheng began loading the Desert Eagle's magazine.

Having had a brief training session with the previous swarm of terror bats, Li Zheng is now exceptionally skilled at loading snake needles. He can grab a handful of snake needles with both hands, twist them in his palms, and they will be neatly arranged in a row.

The magazine pops out, and with a scrape on the snake grass needle, it's fully loaded without missing a single one.

Time taken – 5 seconds!
Countdown 00:08!

The Infinite Modifier aimed at Sakura in flight and launched an attack, firing a grenade from its revolver.

boom!
Even with her "fast flight" ability, Sakura easily dodged the blast radius.

However, it was so small that the shockwave still lifted it up, causing it to tumble in the air and fall out of control.

The remaining time is enough for the Infinite Modifier to fire another shot.

At this moment, Li Zheng's Desert Eagle was fully loaded, and he activated the special shooting mode, raising his hand to aim.

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Ice Type!"

This time, Li Zheng still chose to use the ice-type attachment as before, even though some of the bullets in the previous round were blocked by the Wuji Modifier's armor.

However, since the Pokédex lists "extremely weak to ice" as one of the opponent's weaknesses, it means that ice-type attacks are definitely more effective than fire-type attacks!
shhhhhh...

The Desert Eagle opened fire, and Li Zheng's hand speed, honed over twenty years of solitude, was brought to its absolute limit.
The snake-grass needles, encased in icy blue, seemed to form a line extending from the muzzle of the gun, emitting an extremely cold aura. Under the light, they shimmered and shimmered, both beautiful and dangerous.

Countdown 00:05!
