Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 178 A Fool
The aftershocks of the explosion slowly dissipated, leaving only the snow that had been stirred up by the shockwave falling like a waterfall.

Li Zheng walked forward through the falling snow, but could not see the capsule residence from where he had been standing.

"It's all gone?"

"...You've only stayed up half the night, and you're already starting to overthink things?"

look up.】

"..."

Li Zheng looked up and saw a gust of wind whipping up the falling snow, revealing a twisted and deformed capsule dwelling behind him.

The door could actually be opened, and a woman in a pink kimono was standing in the doorway.

That feels so good!

I see through!
Name: Que Xinyanzi (13)

Race: human
Status: Minor injury (nuclear radiation infection)

Genetic Abilities: Nuclear Radiation Mutant, Tornado Urgent (Gold Lv4)

...]

“From Fu Island.” Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly after seeing the other party’s attribute information.

He had considered that the other party might be from Takamagahara or Genesis, but he never imagined that the other party was sent by Fubuki Island.

According to the intelligence provided by the left side of the gate, Radiation Island never accepts other people to join, and its membership is very limited.

Every death reduces our fighting strength.

"You are Li Zheng?"

Que Xinyanzi took off her wooden clogs and walked barefoot on the snow towards Li Zheng.

"Exactly!"

The woman stopped five meters in front of him, and only then could Li Zheng see her face clearly.

She has a very pretty face. If compared to the standards of a certain industry in Japan, she would probably be on par with the beauty of Ms. Yoshizawa Akiho.

"Did you kill Hitomi Gosaka?" she asked again.

"Yes," Li Zheng said calmly, "You're here to avenge it?"

He is my fiancé.

"That's such a pity, to be widowed at such a young age." Li Zheng understood; the woman opposite him was likely not sent by Fu Island, but had come privately to seek personal revenge.

He smiled and said, "How about this, to express my apology, I'll take you there to reunite with it."

Unexpectedly, Que Xinyanzi agreed with Li Zheng's words and nodded slightly: "In the near future, I will reunite with my husband."

But before that, I hope Mr. Li Zheng will go first and apologize to my husband in person.

“Then you may be disappointed.” Li Zheng pointed to his side and said, “We Chinese are different from you; we have strong backs and can’t bend down.”

"..."

Que Xinyan stood in the wind and snow, staring intently at Li Zheng, her gaze unwavering: "I don't mind solving this problem for Mr. Li."

"For example..."

"Break the spine of you Chinese!"

Before he finished speaking, Que Xinyanzi's image in Li Zheng's eyes suddenly began to change.

The inside of my body was churning like a pot of boiling water, with bubbles trapped under my skin.

Hiss, hiss...

With a tearing sound, the pink kimono suddenly ripped open, revealing Que Xinyanzi's strangely twisted body.

Puff, puff...

Suddenly, an explosion occurred behind her, and four translucent, patterned, thin wings, each twice her height and stained with scarlet blood, emerged—two long and two short.

hum~
With a slight tremor of its thin wings, the blood was shattered and scattered across the snow.

Her twisted and deformed body was lifted into the air by the wings.

At the same time, her spine began to bend, her limbs twisted, her palms and soles gradually keratinized and turned into several hooks, and a thin, sharp needle emerged from her head.

Finally, with a scream, Que Xinyanzi transformed into a giant gray mosquito-like monster.

The transformation process is extremely fast, taking only three seconds in total.

During this time, Li Zheng was able to cut it ten times.

But he didn't do that.

He was curious about the transformation process of these nuclear radiation mutants and wanted to see if it was as cool as in anime or Transformers.

"Ugh~ Are all your transformations this disgusting?" Li Zheng showed disgust, took out the cutting blade and held it in his hand, and also flew into the air.

Wow!
That image!
I love it! My XP system has booted up!

Li Zheng: "..."

Don't suddenly give me these weird prompts!

And your XP system is just so damn weird!

[Let's talk more and go for it!]

Li Zheng: "..."

Damn, you're really going to keep this up!

That's way too strong a flavor!
So, you have an ability that has no physical form, what are you going to use to charge?

"What a powerful force."

After transforming into a mutant, Que Xinyan felt the surging power within her body, and a strange glint flashed in her originally pretty eyes.

"go to hell!"

With a flap of her thin wings, Que Xinyanzi moved with lightning speed, her hands already transformed into hooks as she grabbed at Li Zheng's neck.

Ding!
Li Zheng raised his hand, the cutting blade blocking in front of him, and the collision with the hook claw produced a metallic clang.

Although Que Xinyanzi was fast, her strength was strangely weaker than Li Zheng's. Li Zheng didn't even feel any pressure in their first encounter.

I was just surprised that after the other party's body was deformed, the skin on their "hands" became much harder.

"The nuclear radiation mutation is indeed bizarre; after transforming, it can actually block the cutting of the platinum weapon," Li Zhen thought to himself, but his hands moved quickly, the platinum katana sliding into his hand and slicing horizontally.

brush!
Que Xinyanzi was exceptionally agile and easily dodged Li Zheng's attacks.

"You're too slow! How could your husband die at your hands?" Que Xinyanzi said with a hint of venom and contempt. "You must have used some shameless tricks to kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked again, striking with both claws at incredible speed, leaving afterimages in the air.

"Shameless? It certainly is quite shameless." Li Zheng, with his sword in hand, blocked all of the opponent's attacks.

Since he began practicing the Zhan family sword technique and absorbed its essence, his close-combat skills have improved significantly.

"On the contrary, it is actually your fiancé who is shameless."

With a single sword stroke, Li Zheng deflected the opponent's claws, seized the opening, and unleashed a thrusting sword.

"You probably haven't seen how pathetic Gosaka Hitsumi looked, begging for mercy before he died, have you?"

"shut up!"

Que Xinyanzi dodged the sword, raised her leg and kicked out in mid-air, the whirlwind was quickly activated, and the invisible wind blades slashed towards Li Zheng.

[Wind, take cover!]

With the aircraft's power increased, Li Zheng swayed and dodged the treacherous wind blades.

This time, the roles were reversed, and Li Zheng took the initiative to attack.

"After you came to Channel 879, did you go to look for your fiancé's body?"

Li Zheng slashed wildly with his sword, without any strategy, and muttered incessantly, "You probably didn't find it, right? I'm not afraid to tell you, I chopped Gangban Richuan into mincemeat before he died."

After the offensive was reversed, Li Zheng used his weapon to slash and attack repeatedly, but all his attacks were blocked by Que Xinyanzi's hook claws.

However, as the number of strikes increased and became more frequent, Que Xinyanzi suddenly felt a sharp pain from the hook claws.

Startled, it once again deflected Li Zheng's sword and retreated swiftly. Looking at the spot of pain, it was horrified to discover that its hard, sharp claws had been cut with deep gashes.

"How can it be?!"

It once tested the keratin layer of its limbs, which was extremely tough; even a gold weapon could not cause it any damage no matter how it was slashed.

Even platinum-level weapons cannot do anything to it in a short time.

How long has it been since we started fighting Li Zheng?
The claws caused damage to the stratum corneum?
Could the two weapons in his hand be diamond-grade?
"injured?"

Li Zheng was certainly aware of Que Xinyan's changes. Old Pu's real-time detector had a firm grasp on the other party's true nature, and no abnormality could escape his eyes.

"Are there any more powerful moves?" Li Zheng suddenly brandished his sword, increased the power of his aircraft, and gave chase.

His eyes were icy: "If not, I'll get serious."

So far, he has only used his physical strength and speed in the fight, without using any techniques at all.

Not to mention the Zhan family sword technique.

I'm in a terrible mood today, I have absolutely no motivation to write, and I have a terrible headache.

This chapter has been roughly revised. I'm posting it now and will refine it later.

Let's go get something to eat.
