Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 47 Go out and have a look
After a round of mini cannon fire, Lin Fan endured continuous bombardment, his genetic energy rapidly depleting and nearing its limit.

"The knot... is over?"

Lin Fan opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of black smoke, still shaken.

It was so close, so very close, that the genetic force was about to be reduced to zero.

During this time, he tried to dodge the shelling, but each time he was knocked back to his original position by the impact and was pressed against the thin film behind the metal door and bombarded.

"Yo?"

Yan Guang raised an eyebrow, surprised: "You're not dead?"

It's okay, since you're not dead...

"Let's have two more rounds of bombing then. Anyway, we still have plenty of materials. Even if we bombard them for another ten or eight rounds, it won't be a problem."

Shrugging, Yan Guang suddenly folded and turned the exposed metal plates on his left arm, revealing square holes again.

咻咻 咻 ~
The mini cannonballs were fired again. Lin Fan was so engrossed in hearing the "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound that he almost developed PTSD. He didn't care about anything else and turned to run.

His metal skateboard was destroyed in the previous bombardment, so he could only move forward on his legs.

Boom boom boom!
Explosions echoed behind him, and Lin Fan was terrified. He covered his head with his arms, clutching the lantern and his ID card, glancing ahead out of the corner of his eye.

"This room isn't big. There's another door just ahead. These people should have used up their exploration opportunities. I'll be safe once I get inside!"

Lin Fan watched as the metal door drew closer and closer, the bombing behind him growing more intense, almost within arm's reach.

The impact of the explosion hit his back, and his genetic energy began to be consumed at an accelerated rate, with the value that was originally only in single digits approaching zero.

"We've arrived. Swipe your card!"

beep.

The metal door opened.

Lin Fan practically rolled into the thin-film light screen.

The moment I entered, only one thought crossed my mind: "God, tonight... no! I hope I never run into any other players again, I promise I'll never use Death Sentence again!"

"I swear!"

……

"I survived... phew."

Breathing heavily, Lin Fan finally managed to suppress the lingering fear in his heart and began to look around.

The view is of a stone roof, with a metal door embedded in the stone wall, dim lighting, and a cold, damp environment.

"This is... a cave?"

Lin Fan immediately became alert.

Although he had been sabotaging other players these past few days, he had also exchanged information with them while gaining their trust.

He knew that entering a non-metallic room often meant that a monster was lurking there.

At this moment, his genetic force had completely returned to zero, and the blood-red armor transformed back into dense blood energy, swirling around his body.

The blood and qi circulate, sometimes transforming into howling demons, and sometimes into ferocious yakshas.

This blood energy was not derived from his genetic abilities, but rather, as Chu Xiao said, it was generated spontaneously when he killed other players.

By sheer chance, while merging with the capsule residence of a player whose name he couldn't recall, he obtained an item that unlocked his genetic abilities. (Resistant to steel reinforcement, this is one of the effects of Death Sentence.)

The genetic abilities developed after consuming it are just enough to manipulate these vital energies.

To some extent, the stronger the blood energy around him, the stronger his genetic ability becomes.

Ultimately, it can even transform into various weapons to fight the enemy, and its performance is at the gold level from the start.

only……

He was ultimately unlucky, as he was entangled by the Ye siblings, who held a strong sense of justice, which prevented him from continuing to hunt players.

His blood energy concentration was only enough for him to condense a thin layer of armor.

Without the protection of his Blood Armor, Lin Fan felt extremely insecure, fearing that some monsters might suddenly emerge from the darkness.

"Blood Qi Transformation requires ten points of Gene Force to activate, and it will take at least ten minutes."

Lin Fan took out the S686 from the capsule and loaded it with ammunition in case of an anticipated monster attack.

A few seconds later, after safely loading the S686 with ammunition, Lin Fan did not hear the slightest unusual sound in the darkness of the cave.

"Are there no monsters lurking here?"

With this thought in mind, Lin Fan stood up, holding the gun in both hands, and slowly ventured deeper into the darkness. The Death Declaration could only be used to explore, open doors, and merge with the capsule's dwelling; holding it at other times was not only useless, but its dark red, blood-like light could sometimes even have the opposite effect.

"Click~"

With a crisp sound, Lin Fan's body suddenly stiffened, and he slowly looked down at the ground.

He lifted his foot and realized he had only stepped on a piece of animal debris, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Picking up the animal fragments and examining them closely, Lin Fan identified their species: "They look like some kind of arthropod insect."

He casually threw the pieces away.

“There was a battle here. Someone killed some spider-like insect monsters in this room,” Lin Fan thought to himself. “Now that we can’t hear any noise, it means that all the monsters here have been killed, and that player has left.”

After escaping into this channel, Lin Fan suffered repeated setbacks and no longer dared to underestimate any player in channel 0000879.

At this moment, he finally encountered the extra 10% room for "Death Sentence" and did not encounter any other players, so he completely relaxed.

But then,

A strong sense of shame surged within him, and endless resentment brewed deep within his heart.

He has come to hate every single one of the players who caused his current predicament.

This includes the Ye siblings, Chu Xiao, and the players in channel 0000879.

As his emotions grew increasingly agitated, Lin Fan trembled all over, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, as if he wished he could chew up all his enemies piece by piece.

After a while, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and whispered to himself, "Bear with it for a while. Don't use the death declaration for the next few days. Just do the normal ten explorations."

With the resources gained from killing more than thirty players in the previous two days, Lin Fan believed that as long as he had some time to digest them, all the players he had encountered before would be no match for him.

"Once we've made another significant improvement in strength, we'll gradually start using Death Sentence, slowly but surely, and eventually break through this channel!"

Lin Fan had completely forgotten that not long ago he had sworn an oath that he would never need to declare his death again.

They had just escaped danger, and now they were already thinking about it again.

After all, the loot from killing players is already tempting, not to mention that Death Sentence has an amazing feature.

During a raid, you will receive an additional item with a maximum quality +1 from the looted items.

His genetic ability development tools, metal skateboard, and even the "space jump device" he used to escape from Channel One were all obtained through the Death Declaration trait.

Such an amazing tool, you're just going to say you won't use it?

Who could resist such temptation?
"I'll find a place to rest for the night, and tomorrow I'll begin my path of revenge."

Lin Fan planned to find the next metal door first, so that he could start exploring as soon as possible tomorrow morning.

Gradually, he ventured deeper and deeper into the cave.

Along the way, he often saw the broken corpses of monsters in various places.

Sometimes in some corner.

Sometimes on a protruding rock.

Sometimes they even stick to the stone wall.

"Strange, why are the monster corpses here so thoroughly shattered, and in pieces here and there?"

Lin Fan had a feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out exactly what it was.

……

Feeling sleepy, Li Zheng got up to close the door and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a slight noise.

"The sounds coming from outside the capsule dwelling... could it be that there are still four-eyed hairy spiders that haven't been killed?"

After a moment of doubt, Li Zheng dismissed the idea.

If any hairy spiders escaped, Preys' Eye should have given a warning.

"You could detect the wolf's location even through countless tall trees, but you can't detect what's outside just because of a wall separating you from the capsule dwelling..."

Li Zheng sometimes couldn't understand how the Eye of Preys worked. At this moment, inside the residence, as long as he looked at the wall or the door, the Eye of Preys would not give him any information about the outside world.

This is also why Li Zheng sent Xiaoying out to check on the wolves.

"Why don't you go out and take a look?"

Thinking this, Li Zheng gripped the doorknob of the capsule residence again.
