Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 168 Though far away...

As darkness falls, the real danger within the Matrix begins.

Many things that people dare not do or do not have time to do during the day are done at night.

For example: murder!
During his time lying in wait, the guard on the left side of the gate had seen some tools specifically designed for killing.

Most of these things are related to "night".

For example, his superior in Takamagahara possessed a magical bell.

Ringing the bell at night will randomly teleport the user to a player on the same channel.

For example, his superior on the Genesis side also possesses an item that takes effect at night, which, when used, can place a monster of random rank into a player's room!

The loot will automatically belong to any player killed by this monster.

Of course, users also have to bear the negative consequences of killing.

Blood and qi stagnation.

However, given his level of expertise (slightly to the left of the gate), he was unaware of the specific attributes of these items.

He merely used his observation skills and the information he usually collected to roughly figure out the functions of these two items.

just now……

He arrived at channel 879, his stated mission being to kill all the players in the channel.

However, it is clear that Watanabe Toshio's purpose changed after he took on the task.

He didn't know what Toshio Watanabe was thinking.

He couldn't even be sure if Toshio Watanabe was a mole sent by another organization.

Having experienced the self-disclosure incident involving Hitsujiro Gosaka, he now sees everyone as a mole.

Even if Li Zheng stood right in front of him, he would still suspect that Li Zheng might be an undercover agent sent by some organization to Channel 879...

However, undercover work and missions are no longer important.

From the moment Kato Junkazu informed him of Hitsumi Gosaka's death, he knew he had been abandoned.

Otherwise, Kato Junkazu should have tried to get himself back instead of making do with what he had to do.

After several hours of deliberation, Gangmen Pianzuo had figured out his only way out.

This way out is...

"Huh? Why is Toshio Watanabe sending me a private message at this time?"

A private message startled him awake.

Toshio Watanabe: "Is Hitsumi Gosaka dead?"

Gangmen Pianzuo curled his lip in disdain. "You're asking a question you can answer with a private message. You know the answer already."
"Hey, I just found out too, and I was just about to let you know." He lied.

Toshio Watanabe: "Do you know the cause of death?"

cause of death?

I know!
Didn't he bring this upon himself?

you still need to ask?

He brought two people with him on the mission, and not only did he bring two traitors, but what's worse is that he also brought a madman from Radon Island!

Can't you reflect on yourself?

Can those monsters on Radiation Island even be considered human?

That is...

Oh well, they're just pitiful people too.

If it weren't for Takamagahara's flawed decisions, the people of Furushima wouldn't have ended up in this terrible state.

The guard on the left side of the gate decisively continued to lie: "I don't know, I'm investigating."

Bullshit investigation!

I'm just stalling for time!
Your combat strength is higher than mine, so if someone wants to kill me, they'll definitely go after you first!

Once you're dead, I'll immediately beg for mercy on my knees!
Given the benevolence of the Chinese people, as long as I kowtow loudly enough when I admit defeat, they will definitely forgive me!

After all, I was a victim too!

The one causing trouble is Hitsuji Gosaka. What does that have to do with my position to the left of the gate?
After waiting for a while to the left of the gate, he didn't receive any private messages from Watanabe Toshio, which made him a little strange.

"Could it be... that they've already come knocking on our door?"

He pulled out a radio, which also displayed two electronic lights, one red and one green.

"Not dead yet."

hold on.

……

Just as Gangmen Pianzuo had suspected, Watanabe Toshio was indeed approached by someone.

Li Zheng led Xiao Ying through the portal and immediately saw the figure dismantling the three-headed demon lion.

A barrage of comments floated past my eyes—

Ye Kai: Is this the little Japanese soldier? He's definitely not tall enough, is he even 1.6 meters?
Liu Jin: Based on my years of movie-watching experience, I would say this person is 1.62 meters tall!
Mo Lian: He's...so ugly. Li Zheng is so handsome, dashing, charming, and elegant...

Zhou Kai: Good job licking! I wonder if Boss Li Zheng has athlete's foot. Let her lick it; with her skills, she might be able to cure it.

Li Zheng: "..."

These comments were irritating his eyes, but as a streamer, he couldn't block them out; he could only try his best to distract himself.

They are observing Toshio Watanabe here.

Across from him, Toshio Watanabe was also sizing up Li Zheng.

After dismantling the last demon lion, Watanabe Toshio turned to Li Zheng and asked, "I didn't know Mr. Li had the honor of visiting. What brings you here?"

Faced with his questioning, Li Zheng remained unmoved and quietly finished reading the attributes that Lao Pu had detected.

When he saw the number next to the other player's name that represented the deceased player, his eyes instantly turned as cold as ice.

He said coldly, "I came here for only one purpose: to kill you!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zheng decisively took out the Tiberium spear, activated both abilities, and charged forward.

Watanabe Toshio was already prepared. He raised his hand, a flash of blood appeared, and the two ends of the boomerang slid, revealing two symmetrical curved blades.

call out!
The boomerang was thrown at Li Zheng, and Watanabe Toshio then took out a slender, pure black katana to meet Li Zheng's attack.

Ding~
With a flick of his wrist, he deflected the spinning blade by thrusting his spear upwards, then decisively changed his move, using the thrust to deflect the pressure before smashing it down on Watanabe Toshio's head.

From the attribute table just now, Li Zheng could see very clearly that Watanabe Toshio, in addition to having a relatively high weapon rank (one gold and one platinum), also had two genetic abilities.

Gold-level gene ability: Blood Qi Burst.

Silver-level genetic ability: Air filaments.

Blood Qi Burst is very similar to the ability Fengshan gained; both amplify the user and unleash several times the power for attack.

However, the Gold-level Blood Qi Burst is fundamentally stronger than Fengshan's.

However, Watanabe Toshio was clearly not wealthy; his Blood Qi Burst was only at Lv1, which was practically trash.

Air threads are a wind-based ability that uses wind to create threads that are invisible and formless. They can be wrapped around certain items or special weapons for object control.

He was able to wield the spinning blade with unparalleled skill thanks to this ability. He had even upgraded this ability to Lv6.

Unfortunately, their foundation is weak, so even with strong Silver-level abilities, they can't go very far.

This special type of genetic ability can only have a surprise effect when the enemy is unaware of its true nature.

However, Li Zheng saw through all of Watanabe Toshio's trump cards immediately and naturally had a way to break this ability.

The boomerang blade was knocked away, and Watanabe Toshio instinctively tried to control the air strands to retrieve it, but he pulled at nothing.

"Nani?"

The "failure" of his genetic abilities caused Toshio Watanabe to momentarily lose his composure.

He couldn't understand why Li Zheng could cripple one of his genetic abilities in just one encounter.
He once used this strange and unpredictable genetic ability to kill several players who were stronger than him.

Why didn't it work this time?

clang!
Before he could think further, Li Zheng struck the katana with his spear. The force of the blow made Watanabe Toshio's hand holding the sword tremble, and the weapon almost slipped from his grasp.

Li Zheng frowned slightly, thinking to himself: This is so rubbish?

Then he kicked out, delivering a devastating blow to Watanabe Toshio.

Snapped!
"Ooh~~~"

Watanabe Toshio's eyes bulged like light bulbs, filled with disbelief.

Seemingly surprised that Li Zheng, a top-ranked expert, would resort to such underhanded tactics in battle.

He opened his mouth to curse, but all that came out was a miserable scream.

He wanted to turn around and run away, but his feet wouldn't move.

Given Li Zheng's physique, that kick was no joke.

Watanabe Toshio's original three-in-one prop is now probably only half left...

Everything else had turned into blood and mud.

This kind of pain is something even Watanabe Toshio couldn't imagine.

No male could tolerate that.

Barrage--

Zhou Kai: Hiss~ It looks kind of sour and refreshing.

Liujin: Why do I feel a chill?

Mori: My phantom limb is throbbing.

"Do you think you still have a chance to explore, and that you can escape even if you can't win?" Li Zheng stood in front of him, looking down at him with a cold expression.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, even if you open the door and try to escape, I'll still find you again today!"

The spear in his hand disappeared, and Li Zheng switched to an ion cutting blade, transforming it into a dagger.

"Now, I'm giving you a chance: remove the blood energy suppressor on your chest and confess how many innocent players you've killed."

"cough……"

Watanabe Toshio's face was contorted, one hand covering his wound and the other gripping his katana tightly, his mouth agape as he screamed in agony until he lost his voice.

Just when he thought Li Zheng was pressing him for answers and he lowered his guard, preparing to fight back...

Suddenly, a cold light flashed before my eyes.

brush!
My shoulder felt cold, followed by sharp pain.

The arm holding the katana was severed at the shoulder and fell to the ground.

"Did you really think I would give you a chance to confess and then let you live?" Li Zheng smiled cruelly. "I was just trying to distract you and make you clearly feel the pain of this cut."

brush!
Another stab, and this time Watanabe Toshio couldn't cover his balls anymore.

Having lost both arms, he fell backward and crashed to the ground, screaming madly.

He tried to cover his wound to ease the pain, but without his hands, he became even more concerned about the pain in his shoulder.

Li Zheng squatted down in front of him and asked with great interest, "I'm very curious, you red-named players, before you kill the first person, are you really prepared to be killed yourself?"

brush!
This time, Li Zheng only cut off a piece of flesh from the other person's body, making the cut very casually.

"Look, you got slashed, does it hurt?"

brush!
"Do the players you killed feel any pain?"

brush!
Have you ever tortured and killed an innocent player like this?

brush!
brush!
brush!
"I haven't given you a quick death yet, can you guess why?"

brush!
"Of course, I'm giving you the opportunity to relay the message back."

brush!
"Hurry up! Have your organization send more people over!"

brush!
"I forgot, people from your country can't be considered human."

brush!
Calling you animals is an insult to the word "animal"!

Li Zheng slashed repeatedly, muttering a few words with each stroke.

He knew that the longer he dragged it out, the longer Watanabe Toshio would have time to transfer his props, and the more thoroughly he could transfer them.

But he doesn't care.

The thought of Lin Fengjiao's miserable state filled him with endless rage.

What an innocent person.

He was tormented beyond recognition by the tritium of Gosaka.

He didn't even know if Xiao Siyuan could cure her.

If he doesn't make these mud-baked chickens truly feel pain, his anger will be hard to quell.

"SOS! Call for help now! Get everyone in your organization over here! I'm waiting for them on channel 879!"

swish swish swish

As chunks of fresh meat were cut off, Li Zheng felt that this action not only failed to quell his anger, but instead created a pent-up sense of violence within him that he couldn't shake off.

"Sigh...it seems you can't be relied on."

Li Zheng suddenly stopped, let out a long sigh, and directly took a picture of Watanabe Toshio's miserable state, then edited the information on the world channel.

[0000879 Li Zheng: [Photos of Lin Fengjiao's injuries] This is a player from my country who was harmed by members of Takamagahara, including Gosaka Hitsumi. The methods used were cruel and outrageous!
[Photo of Toshio Watanabe] This is one of the culprits. Do you all in Takamagahara admit that he is one of your members?
I, Li Zheng, hereby declare that anyone who harms players of my Dragon Kingdom, no matter how far away, will be punished!

Not convinced?

Let's do it!

As the world's loudspeaker blared, Li Zheng twisted his wrist, and the dagger pierced Watanabe Toshio's throat, pinning him to death.

……

"He's gone mad...he's gone mad!"

The guard on the left trembled, saying, "This...he...is...not...difficult..."

He meant that, judging from the situation, even if he begged for mercy, Li Zheng probably wouldn't let him go.

It's going to be difficult to survive.
