Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 101 Android 7
The black stone statue is about five meters tall, and its entire body is black except for its eyes, which are painted pale white. At first glance, it looks like a big black man with his head down, rolling his eyes at you.

The statue depicts an unknown race, with a head, body, and limbs like a human, but its face is devoid of anything except for a pair of eyes.

"Has anyone noticed this statue before?" Li Zheng gripped his spear tightly. If the matrix system hadn't failed to provide the statue's name, he would have already slashed it.

The absence of any nouns or attributes indicates that this statue is indeed just an ordinary statue, not a living being.

It is not a certain type of equipment.

"No...no." Ye Yuan stammered, she was the one who was most frightened just now.

I was unaware that I had been standing in front of such a statue for so long.

“I did notice it.” Xiao Siyuan frowned. “When I first came in, I observed the environment. There was only one statue in the hall, so I took a second look at it.”

He paused, then continued, "At that time... it didn't lower its head."

"what!!!"

Ye Yuan screamed and crawled behind Zhan Zhouzhou, only revealing the Gatling gun: "Don't scare me!"

If the statue hadn't bowed its head when everyone entered, then didn't it suddenly move when everyone walked here?

"A moving statue?" Liu Jiale raised an eyebrow as she said this.

“No.” Zhan Zhouzhou took two steps forward, squatted down at the foot of the statue, examined it for a while, and said, “It’s a mechanism.”

“There’s a loose section of floorboard here, right where Xiao Ye was standing just now.” Zhan Zhouzhou stood up, looked around, and found a crack in the floorboards that was slowly dripping with bat blood. There was a gap underneath the floorboards.

After clearing away the bat carcasses on the floor, she continued, "At the time, Xiao Ye was looking for monsters in the dungeon, but when she walked up to the statue, she triggered the mechanism, releasing the bats and wolves trapped on the upper level."

"Is the BOSS we're looking for also locked behind some kind of mechanism?" Li Zheng carefully examined the movable floor, which was no different from the other floors around it.

However, the seam next to it was slightly wider, and if he hadn't already known there was a mechanism here, he wouldn't have noticed it without the help of the Eye of Preys.

“That’s right.” Zhan Zhouzhou nodded, then suddenly placed her foot on the floor that had just been cleared and stomped down hard. “And I’ve already found it.”

"Click."

With a slight twitch of the mechanism, the black stone statue suddenly moved and slowly sank into the ground.

Just as the statue's head entered the ground, it suddenly raised its head and stared directly at the players standing in front of it.

"Kakakaka."

Maintaining a level gaze, the black stone statue sank completely into the ground, with a floorboard extending from the side to cover it.

At the same time, directly opposite the hall, a floor panel popped open, and something was slowly rising.

"Boss?"

Li Zheng walked to the front of the group, his eyes fixed on the danger.

“Most likely.” Zhan Zhouzhou came to his side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. “The installation of these two floorboards is very cunning. When they are connected, the angle with the wall is about 60 degrees.”

If a regular player team enters this area and sees the only statue, they will definitely send someone here to investigate first, which will inevitably trigger the first mechanism.

Afterwards, the player who triggered the mechanism will definitely turn around to regroup with others, either to fend off the swarm of bats or to avoid the monster wolves. In the chaos, the chance of stepping on another piece of floor is very high.

Players will not only face nearly a thousand bats, but also a high-level boss.

In this situation, an ordinary squad could even be wiped out.

Unfortunately, the teams Li Zheng formed when he entered this special room twice in a row were ridiculously strong.

Ye Yuan was unaware that she had triggered the mechanism, and even stood still and raised her gun to fight back, without moving an inch.

Liu Jiale was distracted by other people at the beginning and was bitten and poisoned by a bat. Xiao Siyuan treated him and did not run around.

Not to mention Zhan Zhouzhou, it's already a sign of her mercy that she didn't chase the bats away.

As for Li Zheng...

He did wander around the entire hall several times, but since this cheater was flying around in the sky, he didn't have a chance to trigger the second mechanism.

Android 7 (Failure)

The rising thing has finally revealed its full form.

Although they were separated by the diameter of a stadium, the matrix system seemed eager to remind them that "the BOSS has arrived," directly displaying the other party's name.

"An artificial human?" Li Zheng muttered to himself, the more he looked at the figure across the hall, the more familiar it seemed, like a statue that had just been sunk into the ground.

"Boom."

The platform that was lifting Android 7 rose to the level of the floor and then suddenly stopped, causing Android 7 to tremble all over.

The next second, the five-meter-tall android No. 7 opened its eyes and stepped out of the platform area.

"Strike first is the strongest!"

After performing a fancy spear move, Li Zheng held the spear upside down, shook his shoulders, and sent Xiao Ying flying to the side.

"Damn it! We're in a hurry!"

Li Zheng, carrying a long spear, was the first to charge forward. As he ran, the spear tip dipped to the ground, drawing intermittent sparks.

"Sakura, catch!"

Li Zheng raised his hand and threw a long, thin prop into the air.

"Ying ying."

Sakura flew over and caught it, but it turned out to be a cheering stick.

Just then, Li Zheng's next words came through: "Remember to shout '666' for me!"

Sakura: "..."

other people:"……"

Damn, is this even possible?
What's with having your pet shout "666" next to you?

Which pet doesn't come to help in battle?!
Zhan Zhouzhou looked up at Xiaoying and found that the little one was actually waving the light stick around and making "ee-ee-ee" noises.

Everyone: "..."

You actually believed it?!
……

Li Zheng and Android 7 quickly approached each other. As soon as they entered the attack range, a Desert Eagle appeared in his hand. He activated a special shooting mode and fired a series of ice-infused snake needles at the other side.

Unmoved, Android 7 bent slightly, then suddenly sprinted forward, leaping more than thirty meters.

With a wave of a fan-like hand, all the snake needles were swept away, not a single one hitting it.

"As expected."

Li Zheng remained expressionless, put away his Desert Eagle, and focused on wielding his spear.

The spear moved like a dragon, a simple, unadorned straight thrust aimed directly at the android's thigh.

Without dodging or avoiding, Android 7 clenched his other hand into a fist and punched Li Zheng in the head.

"platinum!"

Before the fist even reached him, a powerful gust of wind swept over him.

Li Zheng had no doubt that if he were hit by a punch, he would die on the spot.

Before he could release the force of his gunshot, his upper body suddenly leaned back and fell down. The jet behind him spewed air, carrying him backward for a full ten meters before finally stopping.

In their first encounter, Li Zheng's initiative to avoid confrontation determined who was superior.

"Come again!"

Standing up straight, Li Zheng gripped his gun with both hands and stepped forward again.

……

"Let's go too!"

Zhan Zhouzhou conjured the lightning sword once more and led the charge towards the battlefield between Li Zheng and Android 7. "The BOSS is at least Platinum level, and he will have a hard time dealing with him alone!"

"Good!" ×3
Xiao Siyuan and the others followed behind Zhan Zhouzhou, each holding their own weapon.

The most incongruous sight was a six-barreled Gatling gun, held above the head of a slender, petite girl with one hand, clanging and rattling all the way.
