Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 710 Everything depends on yourself!

The battle is over.

Li Zheng's right arm was severed at the elbow, revealing pale bone fragments and bright red flesh. Countless granulation tissues were growing from the break, rapidly forming a new arm.

He glanced at the severed arm with surprise, pondering, "A severed arm regenerating... is this also one of the wonders of the Marrow Cleansing Pill?"

In the past, even if he had a strong self-healing ability, at most his wounds would heal more easily and faster.

However, limb regeneration is absolutely impossible.

“That move, Swallow Through the Hall…” Ignoring the intense pain from his severed arm, Li Zheng turned his attention to the Bodhi tree, trying to comprehend the last sword move Zhan Zhouzhou had just used.

At that time, there was nothing unusual about Zhan Zhouzhou's fingertips; even the metallic luster that had been there before had disappeared.

But its power is extraordinary!

Li Zheng responded with a finger of his own, but his right arm began to crack and disintegrate from his fingers, being ground into a pulp and bone powder by the power contained in Zhan Zhouzhou's fingertips.

Zhan Zhouzhou only fainted from exhaustion after losing half of her arm.

Li Zheng felt a lingering fear.

If Zhan Zhouzhou hadn't fainted, that single finger strike would have taken away much more than just half of his arm.

"This 'Through the Hall Swallow' move already bears some resemblance to that spatial annihilation version of the move from the Dark Realm, but its power is still far from even a fraction of that move." Li Zheng looked at Zhan Zhouzhou, who was lying on the ground, pale-faced and barely breathing, and sighed, "What a strong-willed woman, her talent is truly monstrous!"

The two had a good relationship, and it shouldn't have come to this point.

However, Zhan Zhouzhou was inherently strong-willed and could not accept defeat. In the end, she used a sword move that even she could not control, resulting in her injuring the enemy a thousand while also losing eight hundred of her own strength.

Li Zheng looked at the severed arm, but felt no resentment.

Because Zhan Zhouzhou used this move in front of him, it gave him a chance to understand it.

If I can observe it a few more times in the future, or even experience it firsthand as an opponent, and learn it by stealing... no, copying this move exactly, it should be no problem.

He bent down and picked Zhan Zhouzhou up with one arm.

The woman's body was supple, as if boneless.

While unconscious, Zhan Zhouzhou was no longer as strong as usual; her pale face made her appear more vulnerable than ever before.

“No matter what, she’s a girl, and to be able to do this…” Li Zheng sincerely admired her: “It would make many men pale in comparison.”

He walked to the entrance of the gravity chamber, placed Zhan Zhouzhou in Miriel's arms, then rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Li Zheng!"

"father!"

"Master the guide..."

Several calls came to her ears, and her consciousness seemed to drift to a distant place. Even the spiritual entity that had separated from the Bodhi tree closed its eyes and fell into a coma.

When Li Zheng woke up again, the first thing he did was move his right hand and find that it had grown back, exactly the same as before it was severed. "..." Li Zheng stared blankly at his newly grown arm for a while, and suddenly thought to himself, "If other clones lose their arms or legs, can't they just cut them off from me and transplant them into their bodies?"

The thought is rather chilling.

"You're awake." Zhan Zhouzhou's slightly apologetic voice came. Li Zheng looked up and saw that he was lying in a pure white room, on a cold and hard medical bed, surrounded by many complicated instruments and equipment.

"here it is?"

"This is a sterile medical room at the Gravity Research Institute. Although your severed arm is regenerating, the professors feel more at ease leaving it here," Zhan Zhouzhou explained.

"Where are Miriel and the others?" Li Zheng got up from the medical bed. He had only lost one arm and was slightly exhausted. After resting for a while, his arm had regenerated and he had recovered to his peak condition.

In comparison, Zhan Zhouzhou's condition was more serious. She had not taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and her physique was not as good as Li Zheng's. At this moment, her face was still somewhat pale.

“It’s two in the morning, they should be going back to rest by now.” Zhan Zhouzhou pointed behind her and said, “I just woke up not long ago, the professor and Feng Yue left after I woke up.”

“Alright.” Li Zheng took out a Marrow Cleansing Pill from the capsule and handed it to Zhan Zhouzhou: “Here, eat it.”

"What is this?" Zhan Zhouzhou glanced at it, and the Eye of Preer gave a hint: "Marrow Cleansing Pill?"

She raised an eyebrow: "You made this yourself? Why such a fantastical name? You've been reading too many novels!?"

Li Zheng's face darkened: "I give you good stuff, and you can't say anything nice?"

"Hehe, I'm used to it." Zhan Zhouzhou smiled sheepishly, threw the Marrow Cleansing Pill into her mouth, swallowed it, and said, "I used to bicker with you like this all the time. If you want me to change, I really can't change it in a short time."

Li Zheng asked in bewilderment, "I remember you weren't like this with other people, so why are you always so confrontational with me? Is it because that Flame Flower I sold you before burned off your hair?"

Mentioning this, Zhan Zhouzhou's face darkened, and she raised her hand to touch her current buzz cut: "You still have the nerve to say that? It's been so long, and my hair has only grown this little bit... Wait a minute!"

She suddenly looked Li Zheng up and down in surprise: "When did your hair grow back? And your eyebrows and stuff have grown back too! Didn't you burn off all your pores?"

“The Marrow Cleansing Pill you just took has the effect of improving your physique,” ​​Li Zheng explained. “This thing is different from gene potions. Gene potions complete the information of the gene chain, while the Marrow Cleansing Pill… feels like it’s changing something deeper. My short limbs were able to regenerate thanks to the Marrow Cleansing Pill.”

"So amazing?" Zhan Zhouzhou exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually willing to give me something this good? That's so generous of you."

"Haha..." Li Zheng chuckled twice and said, "Don't be too happy yet. You need to take five Marrow Cleansing Pills to achieve the perfect effect. I only have two left. You don't have the ability to regenerate severed limbs yet, so don't be reckless in battle."

He was too embarrassed to say that he was replicating Zhan Zhouzhou's skills through the Bodhi Tree, and giving her the Marrow Cleansing Pill was just a way of thanking her.

"Hmm." Zhan Zhouzhou checked herself and found no changes. "It doesn't seem to have taken effect yet?"

“The first Marrow Cleansing Pill needs to be digested slowly. It will produce the first wave of medicinal effects in about eight hours. From now on, your physical recovery speed will be much faster than others,” Li Zheng said. “In addition, aren’t you going to train in the Gravity Research Institute? Taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill will also help you adapt to the high gravity environment more quickly.”

"Aren't you afraid I'll improve too quickly and surpass you?" Zhan Zhouzhou laughed. "Being overshadowed by a woman must be quite unpleasant, right? Especially since that woman is me."

"cough……"

Zhan Zhouzhou's words were somewhat ambiguous, and Li Zheng momentarily misunderstood them, but quickly pulled his thoughts back: "What's wrong with me? Your becoming stronger is a good thing for everyone."

He said solemnly, "You must have seen what kind of people the outer city residents are when you went to the Wrathful Sin Domain, right? If the players of Water Blue Star want to fight the final battle, they can't provide any assistance. We can only rely on ourselves."
