Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 345 Old Xiao, save me!
The gentlest way to die is in your sleep.

Li Zheng muttered to himself, his eyes gradually regaining their sharpness.

Yes, hypnotizing others may seem gentle, but it is actually very cruel.

People who fall into a deep sleep will eventually starve to death because they cannot get enough nutrition!

Fujita Yamato must have used this ability to hypnotize many people, and the fate of those people is self-evident.

"Life is so bitter, I'll help you find relief!" Li Zheng swung his longsword, increasing his flying speed and rushing into the pollen in the blink of an eye.

The sweet fragrance reached my nose, and suddenly I felt dizzy, as if I might fall asleep at any moment.

Li Zheng bit his tongue, and the pain stimulated him a little, making him feel a bit more energetic: "Wow, that was amazing, I almost couldn't take it!"

"Flame Infusion!"

Flames erupted from the sword. Li Zheng moved with lightning speed, flashing past Fujita Yamato. The scabbard failed to inflict significant damage on the petals, but strangely left behind a wisp of flame.

After rushing out of the pollen zone, Li Zheng didn't look back, but snapped his fingers, making a crisp "Snap!"

"boom!"

The flames exploded instantly, shooting out in all directions. The impact pushed the pollen around Fujita Yamato away, spreading it even further.

"Damn it, the poison gas is spreading!" Zhan Zhouzhou was so angry she almost cursed. When did Li Zheng develop such a terrible ability? Why didn't he think before using it?

Just as he was about to use the forced departure permission to leave with everyone after taking out the tickets, a hoarse and unpleasant voice suddenly came from behind: "Use the flying vehicle!"

Turning around, I saw Lin Fengjiao.

The girl, whose body was wrapped in bandages, gripped the device originally intended for flight and controlled its power, cleverly transforming it into a high-powered bladeless fan that dispersed all the pollen and hypnotic fumes that were spreading.

Beside her, Yan Guang used the same method, back to back, to aim the aircraft at the sky, which did indeed curb the spread of poison gas in this area for a short time.

"You can do it like this?" Zhan Zhouzhou was stunned for a moment, but after realizing what was happening, she quickly joined the other two to fight against the poison gas.

However, this method can only maintain its effect temporarily. When the entire space is filled with poisonous gas, they will still be forced to leave.

"We'll have to resort to some ruthless tactics." Li Zheng knew that time was limited. If they couldn't take down Fujita Yamato before the poison gas spread completely, they would have to retreat first, recover their strength, and challenge him again.

In that case, everyone would inevitably lose an opportunity to explore.

Lightning flashed, and Li Zheng dragged a lightning serpent through the air, approaching Fujita Yamato again. His scabbard, burning with flames, attacked relentlessly, leaving sparks on the surface of the flower buds time and time again.

Lightning bolts crisscrossed, frequently surging into the toxic gas zone. Li Zheng felt his brain growing heavier and heavier, as if he would fall into a deep sleep at any moment and never want to wake up again.

“Not enough!” Li Zheng glanced at Fujita Yamato. He had left more than a dozen flames on the outermost layer. These flames burned on the surface but did not cause any damage.

"The detonation now only has the power of a top-tier diamond, which is not enough to break through the multiple defenses, let alone kill him." Li Zheng slapped himself twice, trying to stay sober, but to little avail.

If this continues, he might be hypnotized before the moment the flames are ignited.

"Since I'm feeling sleepy, I'll stir up my emotions. Intense emotions can help me stay awake." Li Zheng gritted his teeth, decisively took off the emotional balance bracelet, and tried hard to recall all the things in his life that had made him angry.

Scenes that made me furious flashed through my mind.

Influenced and transformed by the murderous aura in his heart, Li Zheng's anger gradually turned into killing intent. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.

Finally, the image freezes on a black and white photograph, with the words "Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Jinling Massacre" printed in one corner. (This portion was previously censored to avoid censorship.)
Boom!
As if a string had snapped in his mind, Li Zheng's face contorted with rage. He roared and transformed into a berserk demon, rushing back to Fujita Yamato at an even greater speed. He sheathed his sword and placed his hands on the surface of the flower petals. At this moment, murderous intent filled the air, and Li Zheng was no longer sleepy. Only one thought occupied his mind.

"You little devil, I'll kill you!"

call!
Crimson flames ignited in his palm, initially weak, gradually growing stronger until they reached the point of raging inferno.

"burst!"

Under the horrified gazes of Zhan Zhouzhou and the others, Li Zheng didn't even try to dodge; he went straight for the enemy's face and unleashed his ultimate attack. The raging fire produced an unprecedented explosion, and a mushroom cloud seemed to bloom in the sky.

"Damn! Do you have to work this hard?"

With lightning-fast reflexes, Zhan Zhouzhou activated forced escape the moment Li Zheng shouted "Explode!" and led the entire team away.

[Congratulations to player "Li Zheng" for leading his team to successfully defeat Mutant #30, earning +2 kill points.]

"Success!"

Liu Qishao, who was constantly monitoring the world channel, first showed excitement, then his expression suddenly fell: "How come it's Li Zheng?"

Behind him, his adjutant came over to report: "Sir, Ma Long's team has replied. All is well, and all five survived."

This news eased Liu Qishao's mood considerably: "That's good, that's good..."

……

"cough!"

Li Zheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, and with the last bit of consciousness brought back by the explosion, he managed to put the bracelet back on.

Only when the familiar coolness spread throughout his body did he completely relax.

"Damn it, being in a rage has such a huge impact on intelligence. I was like a complete idiot, and I almost killed myself!" At this moment, Li Zheng was still a little scared, but his mind was incredibly clear, even more so than before he entered the room of mutant number 30.

"The only benefit might be that my mental strength has increased a bit more," Li Zheng said with a wry smile, checking his injuries.

At the last moment, Zhan Zhouzhou made a decisive break away from the ground. Thanks to her, Li Zhengcai did not suffer the full damage from the explosion, so his injuries were not as serious as expected. He only had five broken ribs and some bleeding in his lungs.

His heart also suffered a severe shock, causing slight damage, but his constitution is exceptional, so he is temporarily unharmed.

"I'm still struggling with my broken ribs." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Li Zheng used his daily administrator privileges to go directly to Xiao Siyuan's room. As soon as he landed, he shouted, "Old Xiao, help!"

Xiao Siyuan seemed to have expected this, and walked out of the residence with a smile: "The sound is so loud and the breath is so strong, which means that you are far from dying. Don't worry."

Lin Fengjiao followed behind him. As soon as she came out of the residence, she rushed to Li Zheng's side, wanting to help him up, but she was afraid that her actions would cause him further injury, so she was at a loss.

"Dr. Xiao..."

"Don't rush, let me check him first." Xiao Siyuan came over and pressed on Li Zheng's chest twice, his expression serious.

Seeing this, Lin Fengjiao asked anxiously, "Dr. Xiao, what about Brother Li's injury..."

“Sigh…” Xiao Siyuan sighed heavily and looked at Li Zheng, saying, “Next time you come, could you please put this outer armor away first? It’s too damn hard, I couldn’t feel anything out of it.”
