Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 245 I only have two kidneys!
Its large hand is like a tiger's mouth and an iron clamp; once it grasps something, even steel can be twisted and deformed instantly!
Compared to Li Zheng's large, fan-like hands, the flickering shadows in the darkness seemed like fragile twisted dough sticks, utterly vulnerable.

"die!"

He clenched his fist, and a pair of purple flames suddenly doubled in size, almost bursting out of his eye sockets.

call!
"Something's not right!" Li Zheng's heart tightened. He was all too familiar with the feeling of emptiness in his hand. What he was holding was not the target, but a shadow!
At that very moment, I felt a sudden chill on my lower back, as if a cold, venomous snake had crawled across it.

A matte black dagger was almost touching Li Zheng's skin, and goosebumps instantly rose on his back.

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Fire Element!"

He clenched his fist and roared, and suddenly a raging inferno of intense heat erupted from his body, engulfing a half-meter radius around him.

"Big oaf, but pretty quick-witted." Kitashiro Akemi was forced back by the intense heat, and had no choice but to retreat into the darkness.

A hint of regret lingered in his severely nearsighted eyes. He was just a hair's breadth away from plunging his dagger into Li Zheng's lower back and destroying one of his kidneys.

“It’s okay, there’s still a chance. Using two abilities at the same time will consume much more of his genetic energy. Stay calm and we can wear him down!” Kita no Akemi’s feet moved with strange steps, incredibly fast, and she disappeared again in the place where the firelight could not reach.

Li Zheng broke out in a cold sweat, still shaken: "That woman is damn vicious. She started by targeting my kidneys, and I almost got her."

He knew all of Kitajo Akemi's attributes and equipment; Old Pu had thoroughly investigated everything the moment she appeared.

The ability to disappear into the darkness is called: Shadow Messenger.

A Platinum-level Lv1 ability that allows her to blend her body into a shadow; as long as the area of ​​the shadow is larger than her, she can disappear into it.

Using it under the cover of night is even more effective, with amazing results!

The weapon was an ordinary platinum-grade dagger, but it had been given a dark matte finish to increase its concealment.

With the attack bonus from the dagger specialization ability, breaking through Li Zhengli's defense in his demonic form was a piece of cake.

Li Zheng stood still for three seconds amidst the flames, but could not find any trace of Kita no Akemi.

It was easy to tell that the other party wanted to stall and wait for their own genetic energy to run out first.

While the Power Demon Avatar is useful, it also consumes an absurd amount of resources. The reason Li Zheng uses it so frequently is mainly for the defensive power it provides.

Now, facing an opponent whose defenses can be breached, this ability has become a limitation for Li Zheng himself.

At that moment, he decisively stopped the supply of genetic energy and dispelled his power demon avatar state.

With the Force Demon Avatar gone, a major consumer of Force energy, Li Zheng's rapidly decreasing genetic Force energy suddenly slowed down.

Although he still maintains "ice and fire attachment" and "extreme isolation" around him, the combined consumption of genetic force by these two auxiliary abilities is not as high as that of the Power Demon Avatar.

After losing his power-magic transformation, Li Zheng only had a silver-level physique left. With just this little power, he couldn't guarantee that he could gain an advantage in battle.

but……

Li Zheng stretched out his hand, and an exoskeleton armor appeared in front of him.

Also encased in metal armor with extreme insulation, it resembled a war machine under the firelight, radiating a fiery and explosive light.

The platinum-grade exoskeleton armor can also provide him with a sense of security in certain aspects.

He usually doesn't take out this piece of equipment, which isn't very thick but exudes a strong sense of power.

The energy consumption was too great; even Li Zheng was finding it difficult to keep up. He removed pieces of armor, installed them on his own body, and locked them in place.

His movements were slow and deliberate, as if he didn't care about Kitashiro Akemi in the darkness at all.

With a surge of energy, the exoskeleton armor was activated, and Li Zheng let out a satisfied sigh: "Indeed, mechs and explosions are a man's romance."

We can ask Ye Kai later to see if the prototype of his mecha can be mass-produced.

If it can be mass-produced, I'd like to get one as a backup.

He clenched his fists and slammed them together in front of him. The exoskeleton armor, with its finely crafted mechanical joints covering even the fingers, produced a dull, metallic clang.

"Kitashiro Akemi, right?" Li Zheng turned his head and looked around, but couldn't find the figure hidden in the darkness. "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't kill the man on the left side of the gate."

"But that's not important anymore. What's important is that you attacked me first and almost crippled one of my kidneys. I will never forgive that!"

"After all... I only have two of those!"

With his knees bent and the shock-absorbing devices in his leg joints contracting, Li Zheng charged forward with unstoppable momentum as the levitation thrusters behind him spewed out a powerful blast of air!
Although he did not find any trace of Kitashiro Akemi, he did not forget the true purpose of his trip.

Therefore, his target this time was Chizuru Kamishiro, who was watching from the sidelines.

The originally "skinny" exoskeleton armor looks somewhat bulky after a person is put inside.

Covered in intense heat and flames, Li Zheng resembled a steel war god emerging from hell, covering a distance of nearly ten meters with each stride.

In the blink of an eye, Li Zheng reached a distance that was extremely dangerous for Chizuru Kamishiro, and everything about her was clearly visible to him.

As they got closer, Li Zhengcai noticed that Chizuru Kamishiro was wearing two fewer layers than Akemi Kitashiro.

The old wounds that were originally all over his body had faded to the point of being almost invisible, but now his head was bleeding profusely, clearly indicating that he had suffered some more injuries while rolling around in his residence.

Li Zheng didn't understand anything about chivalry or pity. In his eyes, even the concept of gender was blurred at this moment. He only knew that if he wanted to find a weakness in Kitashiro Akemi, he had to attack Kamishiro Chizuru.

"I've heard that gay people cherish their lovers even more than heterosexuals, so I refuse to believe that Kitashiro Akemi would just stand by and watch Kamishiro Chizuru fall into danger!"

Chizuru Kamishiro's attributes were exactly the same as when Li Zheng drove her away; not a single piece of equipment was even displayed at this moment.

However, she was currently inside Kitajo Akemi's residence and only had access to enter and exit, not the authority to access the internal items.

Even if she had the courage to take up arms and fight back, she would have to come out and return to her own residence first.

So, seeing Li Zheng rushing towards her with a cold face and no emotion in his eyes, Chizuru Kamishiro panicked and slammed the door shut, hiding herself away.

"It's no use!" Li Zheng shouted loudly, his momentum undiminished, "Sakura!"

"Ouch!"

Sakura, who was flying in the air waiting for orders, instantly understood Li Zheng's meaning and unleashed her Diamond-level ability, Ground Piercing!
Rumbling--

Several ground ridges rose up, one of which instantly overturned the capsule dwelling where Chizuru Kamishiro was located.

The remaining creatures randomly appeared around Li Zheng, surrounding him and the residence.
