Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 120 A Gathering of Heroes
"Whoo~"

After throwing away the medicine bottle, Lin Feng did not rush to attack Li Zheng, but waited for the painkillers to take effect.

The medicine in the matrix takes effect very quickly, but its effects also wear off quickly. Because his legs were not properly treated, some bone fragments have pierced into his leg muscles, so Lin Feng has to take painkillers frequently to reduce the pain.

"After entering the matrix, I killed a total of twenty-eight people."

Confident that Li Zheng was no match for him, Lin Feng, with the arrogance unique to villains in movies and TV dramas, began his self-confession before the protagonist's counterattack.

To be honest, Lin Feng himself was aware of the trope that "villains die from talking too much."

But he has been alone for the past few days, and because he is a red-named player, he has not even participated in the chat channel.

The only family member he could communicate with died at Li Zheng's hands just a few days ago.

Having not interacted with anyone for so long, Lin Feng didn't mind saying a few more words to a dying man.

Moreover, Li Zheng himself is very strong, and he needs to maintain his peak condition to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

At this point, using words to buy some time is a good option.

Moreover, given Li Zheng's "moralist" mindset, he was certain that what he was about to say would enrage the other party and even cause Li Zheng to lose his temper.

"I remember the first one I killed was a woman. Oh, to be precise, she was a girl, not very old, probably just turned 18." Lin Feng's lips curled into a cruel smile. "A particularly naive fool, who would actually trust a player she had just met in a place like this."

I approached her under the guise of forming a team, and while she was swiping her ID card, I grabbed her neck from behind.

Do you know how thin a neck can be for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who is less than 1.6 meters tall and weighs only 80 kilograms?
That's about it...

He put his hands together, making a circle, and continued, "After I grabbed her neck, she started trembling, begging me not to kill her, and saying she would grant me anything I wanted."

Haha, what could I possibly want?

Of course it's her life!
How can I get her capsule residence without killing her? How do I trigger the Death Declaration trait?

Seemingly recalling something exciting, Lin Feng laughed in a grotesque and arrogant manner, his face twisted so much that he resembled a wild beast rather than a human.

His clasped hands slowly clenched, and Lin Feng's voice trembled: "(This is to avoid censorship; the original text can be found in the author's notes.)"
Do you know what it feels like to let life slip through your fingers?

I just twisted my wrist slightly, and her life... *poof*, was over.

"You beast!"

Lin Feng watched as Li Zheng's breathing became increasingly rapid, as if he might pounce on him and bite him to death at any moment. He seemed not to hear Li Zheng's insults, and with his hands in time with his words, he made a twisting motion, which was swift and decisive.

"Let me think... It was the first time I merged with a player's capsule residence, so I glanced at her name..."

Lin Feng tapped his head in frustration: "Why can't I remember? It seems...right! Her surname is Chu! Her given name is Chu...Chu something again?"

"Is his name Chu Di?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's name him Chu Di! Hmm? Another one?"

Lin Feng suddenly realized what was happening and looked in the direction of the unfamiliar voice. He saw a young man with a frosty expression emerge from the recess in the stone wall behind Li Zheng.

Behind him, several other players filed out.

Each person held their own weapon, including longswords, thick-backed black knives, exaggeratedly designed Gatling guns, metal gauntlets, or a silver-white arm.

Another person was piloting a bright red mech that was nearly three meters tall.

Chu Xiao walked to Li Zheng's side and stood still, his eyes fixed on Lin Feng, but no emotion could be seen in his eyes.

"My name is Chu Xiao, and I'm here—to kill!"

His tone was chilling, like ancient, frozen ice.

"Murder? You mean murder? Hahahaha!" As if he had heard a hilarious joke, Lin Feng burst into arrogant laughter. "You don't even have a trace of blood on you. Have you ever killed anyone?"

No one paid him any attention. Li Zheng turned to look at Chu Xiao: "Do you want to fight one-on-one?"

Chu Xiao's expression darkened slightly, and he was about to nod when someone rushed out beside him.

"One-on-one fight my ass! I can't stand any bastard who's even more arrogant than me! Fuck him! Kill that piece of trash!"

"Explosive Power - Tenfold Amplification - Overclocking Output!"

The metal gauntlets gleamed coldly as Feng Shan went berserk, unleashing the most reckless fighting style from the outset.

Through Li Zheng's suggestion, he actually obtained more than thirty silver-level fire-type gene ability development tools in the subsequent pocket watch transaction.

With the two Flame Flowers that Li Zheng traded to him, his "burst" ability is now at its maximum level!
"Trash! Your actions..."

Lin Feng snorted coldly, his figure blurring as he dodged Feng Shan's deadly punch. He crashed into Feng Shan's arms, his violent electric snakes dancing wildly as his fist, wrapped in lightning and exoskeleton armor, slammed into Feng Shan's abdomen.

"too slow!"

"Tom!"

With a dull thud, Lin Feng's fist missed Feng Shan and instead struck a large metal hand.

"Brother Fengshan, step back a moment and let me show you how it is."

Sitting in the cockpit, Ye Kai turned to Feng Shan, who was being pulled away by another metal hand, and said with a grin, "I love beating up these... psychopathic killers!"

The first half of the sentence was in a playful tone, but the second half turned cold, and its ruthlessness was no less than that of Chu Xiao, who had a blood feud.

The mecha released Feng Shan, its metal hand forming a fist, and struck Lin Feng's face without any fancy moves.

"call!"

"boom!"

A punch landed in the air, causing a loud bang.

"Another self-righteous piece of trash." Lin Feng, who dodged the attack with his agility, sneered disdainfully, but suddenly felt a cold breath whistling past his ear, as if it were stinging.

It felt like a sharp sword was pressed against my face.

"what?"

Turning his head, he saw a girl with a buzz cut standing not far from him, without saying a word.

It's Zhan Zhouzhou! The girl followed Lin Feng, who was moving like a feather, with mysterious steps under her feet. Her slender, white fingers held a long sword that was also formed from lightning. She thrust out a sword with seemingly slow but actually fast movements.

"Swallows flying through the hall!"

Li Zheng recognized the move; he was deeply impressed by this sword technique, having experienced it firsthand.

Back then, when he first met Zhan Zhouzhou, the other party used this move to preemptively knock the gun out of his hand from a distance of seven steps away, which was truly incomparably powerful!
"In just a few days, that old hag seems to have gained a deeper understanding of this move... Damn it!"

After mastering spear techniques, Li Zheng also gained some understanding of close-combat skills. He could naturally tell that Zhan Zhouzhou's "Piercing Swallow" move was far more powerful than his personal experience a few days ago, and he couldn't help but curse.

As a successor of a family of swordsmen, Zhan Zhouzhou's comprehension of combat skills far surpasses that of others.

No wonder when asked if she had any martial arts talent, she replied with a nonchalant "hehe". Zhan Zhouzhou certainly had the right to look down on herself.

However, even this powerful sword strike failed to inflict effective damage on Lin Feng.

After all, Lin Feng is a super player with triple gene abilities and a set of gold-level exoskeleton armor, so his strength should not be underestimated.

Limited by the fact that the weapon used was only formed from Lv2 gold-level gene ability, Zhan Zhouzhou's sword exhausted its power after piercing the exoskeleton armor attached to Lin Feng's arm, ultimately leaving a deep wound on the opponent's arm that exposed the bone.

Even so, Zhan Zhouzhou's strength is evident, as this is the first time Lin Feng has been injured so far!
"You despicable trash! You damned bald woman, how dare you hurt me?!"

Lin Feng laughed in fury, activating his exoskeleton to retaliate.

"retreat!"

Two voices rang out simultaneously from not far away. Zhan Zhouzhou responded and retreated, taking several quick steps to get away from Lin Feng.

"Swish swish~"

"Da da da~"

The sounds of miniature missiles being launched and Gatling guns firing after rotating create a deadly rhythmic symphony.

A metallic storm, swirling with numerous miniature projectiles trailing trails of flame, instantly covered an area within a three-meter radius of Lin Feng.

"You think you can hit me with firearms and firearms?"

Lin Feng sneered and was about to activate his exoskeleton armor to jump and avoid this round of bombardment.

Unexpectedly, a sticky thing suddenly flew from behind and wrapped around his legs, making him unable to move.

"You damned beast! You're still alive!"

Seeing the steel storm already upon him, Lin Feng's pupils contracted sharply, leaving him no choice but to withstand it head-on.

At the same time, electric snakes surged from his body into his legs, and the slime emitted blue smoke again.

The next second, a torrent of metal engulfed him.

"He's definitely dead now, isn't he?"

With a noodle-like arm draped over one of Feng Shan's shoulders, he swung over to Li Zheng and the others, saying, "After being bombarded like that, most players probably wouldn't survive, right?"

"Do not."

Li Zheng shook his head, staring at the location where Lin Feng was now obscured by smoke and dust, his expression serious: "Yan Guang's shells should not be more than silver-level; they couldn't even penetrate his armor."

Ye Yuan's Gatling gun is only gold-level, with limited destructive power.

Feng Shan was somewhat incredulous and looked in the direction of the explosion: "It can't be that exaggerated, can it? If it were me, I wouldn't even need such a bombing; a few bullets would be enough to kill me."

Li Zheng didn't explain much, only saying, "Just watch, the guy ranked number one on the combat power list might still have some trump cards up his sleeve."

Preys' Eye can only detect information that is exposed to the outside world. Once the item is stored in the capsule, it can no longer detect it.

"what?"

Li Zheng suddenly realized that Liu Jiale, who had been behind him, was gone.

"Swish swish~"

After Yan Guang finished firing her second round of missiles and lost her long-range capabilities, she also joined the "spectators".

With Yan Guang temporarily withdrawing from the attack, only Ye Yuan remained, holding the Gatling gun and firing wildly. Lacking the impact of the micro missiles, Lin Feng dodged to the side and escaped from the steel storm.

The next second, before he could even catch his breath, a pure black blade flashed into his eyes.

Goodness, all the top-ranked players on the power rankings are here.

This wave, huh?
This wave is called "A Gathering of Heroes"!

P.S. Thank you to "栖梧拾荒梦" for the 1500 points!

P.S. 1. The content in the author's post probably won't last long; if it's no longer visible, it's likely because someone reported it.

Without this part, this chapter is at least two-thirds less effective... Sigh...

too difficult!
Three thousand words, and I'm still short?
Ps2. These Ps are free, but the word count is below the fee threshold.

I ignored her pleas for mercy and just kept clenching my fists tighter and tighter.

Do you know that feeling?

Feeling the other person's neck slowly being compressed and deformed, their trachea vibrating as if it were shattering.

She wanted to breathe, I could feel it, my fingers could feel it!
But my hand was steady, and she couldn't possibly inhale even a single breath of air. She opened her mouth in despair, perhaps still wanting to beg for mercy.

Those beautiful eyes began to bloodshot, turning bright red. It was the first time I'd ever seen anything like it; it was as if…

A pair of rubies?

Yes!
Ruby!
At that moment, I realized that the most beautiful eyes are red eyes filled with despair.

Later, I got tired of it.

Because the way he stuck out his tongue before he died was just too disgusting.

So I twisted her wrist like that, and she died on the spot.
