Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 118 I'm Not Short! (A resounding shout!)

The fist loomed large before his eyes, and the lightning covering its surface struck him first, making Li Zheng feel the hairs on his face stand on end.

"Damn it, thank goodness Zhan Zhouzhou shaved my head, otherwise I would have turned into a golden lion king!"

For some inexplicable reason, Li Zheng's first thought was a mixture of complaint and relief. His thoughts raced so fast that before the punch even reached him, he still had the energy to think about a countermeasure.

"down!"

The powerful jet of air from the aircraft suddenly stopped, and without propulsion, Li Zheng fell into freefall, barely dodging Lin Feng's deadly, furious punch.

"Zhazha!"

With a cold smile playing on his lips, Li Zhengyu raised his gun, aimed it at Lin Feng's chest and abdomen, and decisively fired!
The energy blast struck Lin Feng silently. At a distance where the two were almost face to face, Li Zheng, with his Bronze++ level reaction speed, couldn't even see it before it hit Lin Feng.

"puff!"

Because it was done hastily, this shot failed to be imbued with ice and fire abilities, and its power was only that of a gold-level salted fish gun.

Upon contact, Lin Feng's clothes burst open at his chest and abdomen, revealing his body with a shimmering metallic texture underneath.

While it wasn't exactly unscathed, the damage was indeed minimal, far less effective than when hitting those gold-level wild creatures.

"Humph!"

Lin Feng was knocked back slightly by the shot, creating distance between himself and Li Zheng, who was slightly pushed by the recoil. He snorted coldly, activated his exoskeleton armor, and lashed out at Li Zheng's neck with one leg that transformed into a long whip.

"Gan!"

Li Zheng was shocked and raised the salted fish gun in front of him to try to defend himself.

The enhancement that the exoskeleton armor brought to Lin Feng was terrifying. When this kick came, Li Zheng felt as if he was jumping in mid-air and being hit by a heavy truck at 300 miles per hour.

"Crack!"

The salted fish was fine, but Li Zheng's forearm bones were dislocated from his elbows, and from Lin Feng's kick, they slammed into his face.

"puff!"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Li Zheng was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily into a cave wall.

It sounds complicated, but in reality, the entire exchange between the two took place within a few short seconds, at an extremely fast speed.

"Garbage is garbage."

Lin Feng's momentum from the jump was finally exhausted. Without any levitation props, he had to land first before he could continue chasing after the defeated Li Zheng.

The hovercraft thrusters are damaged; please repair them immediately.

Li Zheng was so disoriented by the impact that he felt dizzy, his head was spinning, and his chest felt tight. He almost fainted.

"repair!"

Clenching his teeth, Li Zheng tried to stay awake, his tongue pressed against his aching teeth, and he could even move it.

"He almost knocked my teeth out! Doesn't this bastard know you don't hit someone in the face? He has no sportsmanship! Tick!"

Spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva, Li Zheng flung his hands to support himself on the ground, gritting his teeth and exerting force.

"Crack!"

He forcibly reset his dislocated hand bone, and the even more intense pain made him break out in a cold sweat.

"This guy is too strong!"

Li Zheng thought to himself that he was no match for Lin Feng, whose strength was abnormally high.

"This is definitely not a level that an ordinary player could reach! Something's fishy!"

"Ying ying."

A slight sound reached his ears, and Li Zheng turned his head to see that he had landed right next to the stone wall he had come in from.

Sakura hugged the air purifier, stuck her tail into the rock at the top of the cave, and almost hung upside down looking at herself with a worried expression.

"It seems we can't save that prop."

Li Zheng sighed slightly. Before Lin Feng landed, he darted into the recess behind the stone wall, quickly took out a disc-shaped prop, and twisted it with both hands, causing the disc to spring open.

"Ouch~ Didn't they say dislocations don't hurt? Why is it so painful for me?"

Despite the pain, Li Zheng placed the separated discs on the ground, then took out a titanium alloy spear and quickly filled in several names on an input panel that appeared before him.

"Now... all we need to do is stall him."

Gripping the spear tightly, Li Zheng's arms, which had been dislocated and then healed, were still throbbing with pain. He took the opportunity to glance at them and saw that the place where Lin Feng had kicked him was red and swollen, indicating that the bone had been injured.

"So it's a bone injury. Judging from the looks of it, it's probably a fracture. No wonder it hurts so much."

He muttered to himself, his heart filled with longing for that exoskeleton armor.

"This thing is much more cost-effective than human modification, and it also significantly improves combat power. I wish I could get a set." *Snap! Tap! Tap!*

The sound of metal striking the ground was approaching, slow but steady.

Although Lin Feng was arrogant, he did not let his guard down against Li Zheng, who was hiding behind the stone wall. He was on high alert and carefully approached him.

"We can't let him discover this jumping device; we have to take the initiative!"

This hopping device is the item that Chu Xiao traded to Li Zheng before. Its effect and level are the same as the temporary items provided by the system when running a dungeon. It can invite several players to your location.

However, this unlimited group spatial movement device has an advantage in the number of players invited, reaching as many as nine.

Moreover, this jumping device is not a disposable item; as long as sufficient energy is provided, the same device can be used once a day.

The only drawback is that the energy consumption is extremely high. No matter how many players are invited, each activation will eventually consume a platinum-level power core!
Chu Xiao temporarily lent this prop to Li Zheng in case he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat or a trap.

Fortunately, Chu Xiao had fully charged the energy of the vibration device beforehand; otherwise, Li Zheng really wouldn't have been able to afford the consumption.

Chu Xiao did not provide further details regarding the reasons.

Li Zheng suspected that Chu Xiao and the others had been suspicious of Lin Feng, the "expert" ranked number one in combat power, from the very beginning, after all...

Even with a random treasure chest, I can only rank fifth. How could Lin Feng possibly be so much better than me on the power ranking?

Li Zheng suddenly stood up, rushed out of the recessed area of ​​the stone wall, and attacked Lin Feng. The long spear in his hand was covered in flames, making his face turn red.

"Lin Fan, that idiot, actually got beaten to death by trash like you. This idiot didn't even know to trade for the death certificate before he died, and instead sent me a picture of the murderer in his own cleverness."

Facing Li Zheng's renewed charge, Lin Feng stopped, speaking as he activated his agility ability, transforming back into his feather-like form and drifting backward along with Li Zheng's advance.

"He thinks I won't avenge him after I get the death certificate? How naive! This kind of self-righteous naiveté is laughable!"
You should have revealed the Death Sentence, right? That's the only item that can likely teleport you to another player's room.

"Hand over the death certificate, and I'll give you a quick death!"

Lin Feng's eyes, peering through his gas mask, were icy cold; he looked at Li Zheng as if he were a piece of rotting flesh.

He assumed that Li Zheng had entered the room by chance using the power of Death Declaration, and never considered that Li Zheng had been actively searching for this place.

After all, in his mind, human nature is inherently selfish and cruel.

On Earth, a peaceful and stable environment was maintained due to environmental and regulatory constraints.

But this is a matrix!

Morality is not required here!
As long as you don't let your prey reveal your information when you kill, no one can restrain or blame you!
Even if you grow strong enough, and you wipe out the entire channel, who would dare say you've "broken the law"?
In such circumstances, he didn't even go to rescue his own brother, Lin Fan, when he was in danger.

How could Li Zheng, an "ordinary player," possibly know that someone was in danger here, let alone come to their rescue?

Therefore, Lin Feng had already concluded that Li Zheng possessed the Death Declaration and that he had used this item to increase his exploration opportunities, which led him to stumble upon Lin Feng committing the crime.

Li Zheng remained unmoved, looking at Lin Feng who was so close yet unreachable, and sneered.

Behind Lin Feng, a huge figure emerged, and sprayed a cloud of colorful, viscous substance onto Lin Feng's back.

The viscous substance dried upon exposure to air, turning into a glue-like substance that wrapped around Lin Feng's legs.

"Snapped!"

The legs, which were originally fixed to the exoskeleton armor, were suddenly stuck together by this viscous substance and could not be freed for a while.

"Damn beast, I should have killed you first!"

Lin Feng instantly realized who had ambushed him. He felt a sharp pain in his legs, which then gradually became numb, and anger surged within him.

The substance expelled by the Five-Colored Venomous Spider naturally contains potent toxins.

As a gold-level elite pet, it can easily corrupt a body that is also enhanced by gold-level abilities.

"Heh...hehe...hahahahaha!"

Seeing this, Li Zheng burst out laughing: "Little Spider, well done!"

With a tremor in his hand, the spear twirled and shot straight toward Lin Feng's brow. The tip of the spear suddenly turned icy blue, emanating a chilling aura.

This time,
Lin Feng,

Dangerous!
Some people say I'm short?
It takes two hours just to type out a two-thousand-word chapter, and another half hour to an hour to revise it.

Sometimes, if you're not satisfied, you have to delete it or even rewrite it...

Like this chapter right now, I originally wrote 4,000 words, but after putting it aside for a while, I wasn't satisfied and deleted 3,000 words...

This is so hard for me!

And you guys actually finished watching it in fifteen seconds!

That's so unfair! ~(>_<)~
