Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 559 Eyeball Rampage!
Zheng!
The longsword pierces the air!

yah~
A burst of lightning flashed.

Zhan Zhouzhou calmly released the Purple Extreme Sword that had flashed through his hand.

The next second, a thin crack appeared on the surface of the corpse that had just resumed breathing, running diagonally from the right shoulder through the left hip.

The corpse: "..."

This script is wrong!

Why don't you play by the rules?

Shouldn't you be filled with curiosity at a time like this, waiting for the corpse to come back to life, and then figure out what happened?

Why did they suddenly attack without saying a word?
Moreover, they went all out, cutting the corpse in half.
Do you have to be so cruel?
Is it really necessary to be so heartless?
puff~
The upper half of the mummified corpse fell to the ground, kicking up a weak cloud of dust, before slowly settling down under the pull of gravity.

【Prell's Eye: An unidentified 'mummy' who has been kept alive by some special ability until now has finally been activated, but was killed by someone with lightning speed just before it was about to be revived.

It may have been hiding some incredible secret.

just now……

The secret is gone.

I'm not interested in any of your secrets.

Zhan Zhouzhou glanced at the dried corpse with disdain. He had originally thought that bringing this thing to the outer city would allow him to extract some genetic benefits from it, but he hadn't expected it to be a corpse disguised by a secret method, just waiting for someone to bring it to the outer city to activate it.

All that work for nothing, and I even occupied my capsule home for a long time. What a huge loss!

Zhan Zhouzhou grew angrier the more she thought about it, and kicked the mummified corpse, making the upper half of it spin like a top dozens of times. When it stopped, its withered eyes were right in front of Zhan Zhouzhou.

[Prey's Eye: Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that this corpse only has one eye; the other eye socket is empty and dark. Perhaps he foresaw this day and left a contingency plan in advance?]

"Tch." Zhan Zhouzhou curled her lip. "I guessed it."

How could someone who could survive for who knows how long using such bizarre methods not have left himself a backup plan?
However, it would be impossible to say that she wasn't curious about mummies at all.

Zhan Zhouzhou was only curious about one thing: someone with such strength should definitely be able to enter the outer city alone, so why would the other party rely on a state of feigned death to deceive the 'descendant' and bring him into the outer city?
This is something that Lady Zhan can't figure out in a short time.

In addition, what exactly are this 'mummified corpse' and that guy in the red hood from before?

Why does the man in the red hood look so much like Li Zheng?
Why are the red hood and the 'mummy' displayed as gibberish in the Eye of Prey's prompts?
"I never noticed before, but after entering the outer city, I suddenly discovered that Li Zheng is hiding quite a few secrets."

Zhan Zhouzhou rubbed his forehead, activated the thrusters, leaving behind a pile of corpses, and left the place.

No matter how many doubts she had, she still had to prioritize her own affairs and continue with the troublesome task she had taken on earlier.

If we just go back like this, wouldn't we be at a huge loss?
……

A matrix, a room.

The dark and gloomy tomb has been untouched since the last player left.

In the darkness, an eyeball connected to nerve tissue jumped out of the stone coffin and landed on the ground, frolicking around.

It uses its optic nerve tissue as its two feet, nimbly jumping around on the ground. Its eyeballs are not covered by eyelids, yet it can express emotions through its pupils.

The bewildered eyeball, which had been wandering around like a stray dog, was about to jump up the steps to examine the door that it couldn't open with its own strength.

The bewildered look in his eyes suddenly changed, and his jumping movements froze for a moment before he fell silent in the darkness.

If Li Zheng were here, he would definitely recognize this eyeball and be able to clearly see the changes that have occurred within it.

“Mom… Damn it!”

Suddenly, a string of profanities echoed through the tranquil tomb. A mouth sprouted from beneath the pupil of an eye, angrily shouting in Chinese, "Damn it! Who killed my original body?"

His eyeballs paced restlessly, muttering to themselves, "Judging by the time, it should be around the time that guy's prediction starts to come true..."

"But why was my original body killed?"

"This is not what we agreed on!"

"Damn it! We've lost a fortune!"

"Add money!"

"That bastard has to give me more money!"

"Wait..." The eyeballs scribbled on the ground a few times with the optic nerve tissue, the anxious look instantly turning into utter terror: "Damn! Dead?"

"This is impossible!"

Why did he die?

"I do not believe!"

It scribbled a few more times, leaving a jumble of random symbols on the ground.

However, as more and more symbols were drawn, the eyes became increasingly terrified, eventually reaching a point of numbness.

No way?
He's really dead?

Isn't this joke a bit too much?

After planning for so many years, did you end up ruining yourself?

wrong……

Its eyeballs suddenly became even angrier than when its main body was severed.

This not only ruined his plans, but also screwed him over!

The original body is gone.

Ninety-nine percent of the original essence has also been lost.

All he has left is a fragile eyeball.

What can I do?
He could be chewed up by any small animal that came along when he went out; danger lurked everywhere.

Unless you use up all the resources you and your backup plan left here...

"..."

Suddenly realizing something, the eyeball turned around, jumped onto the coffin, and peeked inside, nearly dying of anger on the spot.

"My belongings... are all gone!!!"

With a mournful cry, Eyeball collapsed onto the edge of the coffin, utterly dejected.

Even the last hope of turning things around is gone!
What is happening to this world?
Why did everything turn out differently from the prophecy when I woke up?
What went wrong?

Thump, thump.

Just then, the sound of heavy stone doors opening came from the entrance of the mausoleum.

"Am I right, Yamamoto-kun?"

As the stone door opened, a very familiar voice rang out from the entrance: "There really is a secret room here!"

"Well done, Lord Crossing the River!" Another voice came into the tomb: "Although there are signs of exploration outside, the entrance is well preserved. There might be treasures inside that haven't been discovered yet."

"Shall we go in and take a look?" suggested the man called Ferryman.

Yamamoto politely declined, saying, "Since you discovered the secret room, everything inside belongs to you. I won't go in; I'll wait for you outside."

Upon hearing Yamamoto's words, Watari-kun did not immediately enter the tomb chamber, but instead remained at the door: "What are you saying, Yamamoto-kun? Since we have decided to team up, everything we obtain during the exploration will definitely be shared. How can I let you suffer a loss?"

What a hypocrite!
Eyeball listened to the two people at the door politely deferring to each other and sneered.

These two appear to be on the same side, but in reality, they are both wary of each other.

The reason they refused to enter the tomb alone was simply because they were worried that those left outside would trap them inside.

but……

Eyeballs sat calmly beside the coffin.

Isn't this solution to break the deadlock right in front of us?

His pupils suddenly twisted, revealing a fierce look. His eyeballs jumped to the ground and bounced forcefully, flying like cannonballs towards the entrance of the tomb chamber.

Before the two people at the door could react, the optic nerve tissue forcefully pierced into one of their eye sockets, gouging out the eyeball. The eyeball then slid in like an eel, taking over the space.
