Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 254 Sorry

"You want us to kill Banquan the bastard?"

The two players were taken aback by what he said, and looked at each other, wondering what Li Zheng was up to.

“That’s right. You have one minute to consider. If no one makes a decision after one minute, I’ll make you all food for my pet.” Li Zheng pointed at the bewildered Xiaoying and smiled dangerously. “To allow you to concentrate on thinking about this proposal, I’ll cripple one of your arms first.”

After saying that, he actually started timing, counting one number at a time.

He picked up a longsword and plunged it deep into the shoulders of the two men, tearing one of their arms apart from the inside.

He did all this not without purpose, but because he didn't want to give the two of them time to calmly reflect.

Less than a minute has passed since the attack began. In that minute, the two sober players are still in a state of confusion and are easily swayed.

But as time goes by, they will calm down and may discover the truth that Li Zheng did not want to become a red name.

Therefore, Li Zheng only gave them one minute to think. To be on the safe side, he crippled one of their arms, also because pain would make them panic.

"Ten, eleven, twelve, ... twentieth,..."

Time ticked by, and just as Li Zheng had expected, the two men, their faces contorted in pain, didn't think much of it. In just thirty seconds, they both said, "I'll do it!"

"Thirty-one..."

The countdown stopped abruptly, and Li Zheng shook his head: "There is only one Banquan bastard, so only one of you has the chance to kill him in exchange for your life."

As he spoke, Li Zheng gestured to Sakura, telling Pink Polly to let go of the two of them.

"How about... you two fight first, and the remaining one gets the chance to kill that bastard Banquan?"

Li Zheng wasn't worried at all that the two would resist. Even if they were given another ten days, they wouldn't pose a threat to him.

With Pink Polly around, there's no fear of them escaping again.

Sure enough, the two men, now free, pulled out their weapons almost simultaneously and ruthlessly killed their teammates who had been chatting idly together just a minute before.

To survive, they wouldn't hesitate for a second, even if their own father were standing right in front of them.

Both of them had very poor weapons, only silver-grade. One used a katana for close combat, while the other used an M4a1 carbine for ranged combat.

As a result, before the opponent could even aim his gun, the katana user managed to deliver a powerful blow to the opponent's neck.

Because he could only move one arm, he lacked the strength, and his katana became stuck between the opponent's neck bones, preventing him from pulling it out.

boom!
The man who was struck by the katana fired a shot before dying, hitting the opponent in the thigh and leaving a bloody hole from which blood flowed freely.

Li Zheng watched this scene without being moved, but he was thinking about something else.

Whether it was because the emotional balance bracelet had just taken effect and its effects hadn't ended yet, or because he hadn't caused this scene himself, the murderous aura in his heart wasn't stirred up as he looked at the bloody scene.

"You can try it tonight. Only by thoroughly understanding this malevolent energy can you maximize the effect of training your spirit."

Of the two mud-covered players, the one with bandages survived. Judging from his previous injuries, he was more skilled in melee weapons.

Stepping on his companion's corpse, he forcefully pulled out his katana and limped towards Li Zheng. He was blocked by Xiaoying.

“Mr. Li, I won.” His gaze passed over Xiaoying and looked at Li Zheng.

He vaguely sensed something was wrong: why didn't Li Zheng kill the three of them himself?
They even promised to let one person go?
Doesn't he want to take revenge on them and kill them all?

Or does Li Zheng have some kind of perverse pleasure in watching others kill each other?

He didn't have time to think much; the pain in his shoulder and thigh made it difficult for him to concentrate. Perhaps he could calm down and think things through after he survived and his injuries were treated. "Congratulations." Li Zheng smiled warmly and pointed at the barely alive Ban Quan bastard: "Now come and collect your prize. Kill him, and I'll let you leave here alive."

If Chizuru Kamishiro were still alive, she would definitely recognize Li Zheng's current expression and feel fear.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." The man, dragging one leg and swinging his arm which was only connected by a little skin and flesh, came to the bastard Banquan and stabbed him in the heart.

puff~

The katana was pulled out, and fresh blood gushed out.

Two minutes ago, the three people were sitting together chatting and laughing, but in the blink of an eye, only one person remained, and he had personally killed the two dead.

"Farewell."

After killing Banquan the bastard, the man turned and left, seemingly not wanting to stay for even a moment longer.

"Stop." Li Zheng suddenly spoke, startling him so much that he trembled and turned around.

"Is Mr. Li going back on his word?" His face was ashen. At this moment, he finally understood that the reason Li Zheng did not kill anyone himself was simply because he did not want to become a red-named player.

"Going back on your word? I only told you to stop, I didn't say I was going to kill you, so how can you say I'm going back on my word?" Li Zheng's smile turned cold. "After you participated in framing me as a rapist, are you trying to frame me again?"

"I wouldn't dare!" The man's heart trembled. Every expression of Li Zheng seemed to have a magical power in his eyes, easily stirring up the fear in his heart. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he asked tremblingly, "Then why did Mr. Li stop me?"

He spoke each word with utmost care, afraid of displeasing Li Zheng and causing him to go back on his word and kill him.

Li Zheng picked up the two identity cards and put them into the capsule: "You don't actually think that you're just going to let it go like this, do you?"

He tossed a megaphone at the other man and said, "Make public the frame-up plan you conspired with Banquan the bastard, and then disappear from my sight!"

"……Hi!"

The man nodded in agreement, picked up the megaphone that Li Zheng had thrown to him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Li Zheng had stopped him just for this matter; he had really overthought things.

A master like Li Zheng should value his reputation more. How could he possibly go back on his word for someone as insignificant as Li Zheng?
He sent two consecutive "confession" messages to the world channel, recounting his involvement in framing Li Zheng from beginning to end. Because of his good attitude in confessing, he even described the plan in great detail, to the point that his own small loudspeaker and the megaphone given to him by Li Zheng were not enough.

Therefore, Li Zheng provided two more megaphones before he revealed all the contents, as well as the backup plan he had prepared to deal with Li Zheng.

"Can I leave now?" After sending the message to the world channel, the person looked at Li Zheng expectantly, seeking his permission.

After reading the plan that the other party posted on the world channel, Li Zheng waved his hand impatiently: "Get lost."

"Thank you, Mr. Li Zheng!" The man felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and dragged his injured leg away quickly.

Li Zheng picked at his ear, took out a long, thin salted fish, and held it up in front of his eyes: "Sorry, I lied to you. Look how polite I am, apologizing to you. You guys haven't said a single word to me yet!"

Gunfire erupted as an energy bullet left the chamber, instantly shattering the target's skull.

"Done, next." Putting away his speargun, Li Zheng walked over with light steps to collect the third identity card, preparing to find his next target.

Just then, another message popped up on the world channel, catching Li Zheng's attention.

"Looking for me?"
