Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 371 Incendiary Bomb

Although most of the damaged power cores he had accumulated were low-level, Li Zheng felt uneasy keeping them in his residence.

Just like obsessive-compulsive disorder, since there are opportunities and means to fix it, why not just get rid of it!
Li Zheng took out the laser repair instrument and got to work. He put in a piece of radium, and the instrument was finally activated for the first time, shooting out a fine line from a nanometer-sized needle. The light was basically invisible to the naked eye.

"That's interesting. If it were replaced with radium, an element familiar to Earthlings, my body would probably have been contaminated by radiation in the short time I was playing with it." Li Zheng thought for a moment, then took all the damaged power cores and repaired them one by one.

This repair process is quite interesting. The damaged core looks like a slightly larger transparent glass ball, except that there are some spider web-like cracks on the surface.

Place it on the clamp and control the small platform to move under the laser beam. Wherever the beam goes, the "spider web" disappears rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving not a trace, and is as smooth as new.

Once all the damage was repaired, the surface of the power core shimmered with a faint light, becoming a perfectly intact, energy-free power core.

The most amazing thing was that Li Zheng noticed that when the hollow core was placed on the repair device, it could be slowly charged by laser beams!

In just five minutes, a black iron-grade power core was restored to 100% energy!
Just like new!
Wow, that's amazing!

Li Zheng's eyes lit up. It seemed that as long as he had enough radium, he could even achieve the recycling of the power core!
You should know that he has already accumulated countless black iron-grade air cores, all piled up in a corner of his residence, just waiting for the day he finds a way to recharge them and reuse them.

"Unfortunately, charging consumes too much radium. After only fully charging one black iron-grade radium, the radium content of this piece has shrunk by one-tenth. The cost-effectiveness is too low." Li Zheng examined the radium content and frowned slightly.

Radium is a gold-grade material, and just repairing and recharging a black iron-grade dynamic core consumed one-tenth of it. Even Li Zheng found this consumption rate a bit overwhelming.

He estimated that there are other specialized instruments for recharging the nuclear reactor, and that the repair device's function was likely only for emergency use.

"Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to use the repair device to recharge. That's a game for the super-rich, and most people can't afford it."

It took another half hour to repair all the accumulated damaged cores, and the radium element was also successfully consumed.

The higher the grade of the dynamic core being repaired, the slower the repair speed and the greater the consumption. Li Zheng had several silver-grade damaged dynamic cores, and just repairing these alone used up half a piece of radium.

"I always felt that besides the damaged core, the repair device has some other uses. I don't have time to study it today, I'll talk about it later."

Satisfied, Li Zheng returned the repair device to its original position and began contacting the team members for the challenge.

Zhan Zhouzhou and the others received a notification from Li Zheng that they had been given three to four exploration opportunities. They could challenge the event at least three more times today, and if they were lucky, they could kill three more mutants.

Since everyone had some free time, Li Zheng called Xiao Ying over, took out the event tickets, and teleported into the mutant room.

The moment Li Zheng entered the event dungeon room, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Retreat!"

Everyone responded and used their abilities to retreat rapidly.

The next moment, several thin and long tree roots broke through the soil in the center where everyone was standing, twisting and whipping around, very agile.

Snapped!Snapped!
Rocks flew everywhere, and the hard ground was cracked in large sections by the tree roots. If everyone hadn't dodged, they would have suffered a great loss.

Yuji Asano was once a passionate plant enthusiast who traveled extensively to protect endangered plant species.

That day, he went to Fukushima Prefecture to observe some local plants, and his life took a turn after that.

Be careful, every part of his body can be used for attack!

Don't worry, the only good news is that it can't be moved around freely.

"Shhhhhh!"

Before everyone could even get their bearings, a barely audible whooshing sound rang out, as if something tiny was shooting at them.

"Drink!" Demon Thunder spread its wings and activated its third-gear acceleration. Li Zheng flashed to the front of the group and patted his waist lightly.

hum!
An invisible force field suddenly appeared, surrounding Li Zheng and enveloping him like an eggshell.

puff puff~
The dense black dots struck the force field, causing a protective shield to appear in front of Li Zheng, which glowed faintly.

"Damn, the energy is dropping so fast!" Li Zheng's eyelids twitched wildly. In just one exchange, the energy of his shield belt had dropped by a staggering twelve percent!
"Fengshan, flare!"

The sound of swords being swung came from behind Zhan Zhouzhou, and many black dots, which Li Zheng had not blocked, bypassed him and attacked others.

Fengshan shouted, "We're all gone! I don't have any blueprints for producing flares!"

puff puff!

Fengshan let out a muffled groan, apparently having been hit by a malicious attack.

"I come!"

Yan Guang and Lin Fengjiao were positioned behind Li Zheng and were less affected. As they spoke, they raised their left arms and fired a series of miniature projectiles forward.

The miniature shell passed by Li Zheng, trailing a long tail of flame, and went upstream along the black dot that had been fired at him.

Boom boom boom!
Some of the shells were hit at the top by a black spot and exploded halfway through their flight, bursting into bright flashes of light.

Amidst the flames, liquid fuel-like substances spilled onto the ground, igniting several bonfires that burned fiercely.

The flames from the exploding shells created a bright trail of fire, and Li Zheng then realized that the black dots were actually countless pine needle-like plant buds!

The leaf buds were slender, nearly 20 centimeters long, and their entire bodies were blood-red and incredibly hard. After being stopped by the shield, they fell to the ground without breaking!

boom!
The last shell was also destroyed by Ye Ya and exploded in the air. Although this round of shells failed to resolve the crisis, it successfully located Asano Yuji's body, which was less than ten meters away from the last shell.

It was a large tree nearly three zhang tall, with thick roots that went deep into the ground, and dense branches and leaves that formed a canopy. The dense needles were the leaves.

【Wow, I have a bold idea!】

"Great minds think alike!" Li Zheng asked in a deep voice, "Yan Guang, do you still have any of these incendiary bombs?"

"Whether I have it or not depends on what level you want."

"Like what just happened?"

"Gold grade? Only ten left."

"Ten isn't enough, let's have at least another round of full output!"

"Then we only have the Iron-class. But let me make this clear beforehand: although the Iron-class incendiary bomb has a larger coverage area after exploding and can cause a bigger fire, its power is only average!"

"Large coverage area?" Li Zheng's eyes lit up with excitement: "That's the one! Aim it at his face and give him a saturation attack!"

In that short time, Zhan Zhouzhou and Feng Shan also hid behind him, and the energy of the shield belt dropped by more than 20%!
"okay!"

With the magazines in her left arm fully deployed, Yan Guang was also inexplicably excited: "I never thought that I, a mere woman, would one day be able to shoot something in someone's face!"
