Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 396 World Channel: No more praise, no more megaphones.

Rebecca's demand for Li Zheng alive stunned everyone else.

This woman is really audacious. They've all teamed up to persecute each other, and she still wants to capture them alive?

Shouldn't we force them to hand over their items and then kill them to prevent future trouble?
"This condition... Junichiro Tanaka, is the function of the blueprint decryption device to copy or cut?" Diana asked in the group chat.

“It’s cutting, which means directly taking it.” Tanaka Junichiro replied with a hint of malice.

If Rebecca thinks that getting Li Zheng is the same as getting everything everyone needs, she is sorely mistaken!

If the plan goes smoothly, Rebecca will at most get a henchman who is all show and no substance.

They have plenty of players like Li Zheng under their command; they don't need another one.

“It’s not what I want from him… oh no, or rather, that’s exactly what I want from him!” Rebecca said a contradictory statement.

As a woman, Diana understood her hidden meaning: "In that case, it's settled. We will do everything in our power to keep him alive, provided he doesn't resist too violently. Otherwise..."

Otherwise, even if the profits aren't as high as expected, they'll still kill Li Zheng and take whatever they can get.

"The plan is set for 3 a.m. after midnight. Before then, everyone should prepare enough spatial movement props. I believe this shouldn't be difficult for anyone here." After sending the last message, Diana disbanded the temporary group chat.

Thus, the leaders of these organizations began to frequently assign tasks to their subordinates in order to achieve their own goals.

……

“Old Li is getting more and more awesome. Looking at him… I feel a little inferior.” Feng Shan held a mysterious declaration and sat in the dark. Yan Guang sat next to him, and Lin Fengjiao sat opposite him.

The three of them stared intently at a distant point of fire. In the firelight were Li Zheng, Zhan Zhouzhou, and Xiao Ying, who were attacking a mutated creature with an armored shell.

"I really don't know how he did it. His strength has increased like a rocket, rising so fast." Feng Shan said softly, a little depressed and a little envious. "Xiao Lin, don't look down on your brother Shan just because he's sitting here like a couch potato now. Back when your brother Shan was running dungeons with Lao Li, he was a key member."

"Without me, then... let me tell you, it wouldn't work! You know that?" Feng Shan sounded like a boastful middle-aged man, afraid that others wouldn't believe his past glorious deeds, so he added several semantic words to his sentence.

In a daze, Fengshan seemed to see the same spirited and confident person he had been in front of Li Zheng.

Flying in mid-air, he could arrogantly say to Zhan Zhouzhou: "Continue, I'll do it!"
Even if the final result was that he lost an arm and a leg on the spot, if he hadn't fought as hard as he did, would the mechanical giant have been able to fight so easily back then?

Where is Li Zheng?

What can Li Zheng do?

All they did was hide in the back and snipe at the enemy, dragging hundreds of mechanical mantises around in circles.
What kind of skill is that?
If you're so capable, why don't you go and punch the mechanical giant?

Ugh……

Feng Shan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the creature in the distance that was flying up and down, each flight inflicting damage on the mutants.

just now……

The one hiding behind became himself.

He's not even as good as Li Zheng back then. At least Li Zheng had the ability to help resolve a crisis that could have wiped out the entire team.

All he could do was sit and wait, and try his best not to cause Li Zheng any trouble.

"You know, Old Li meant well back then, taking us along to get the final prize for the event. We thought we could help out, so we happily agreed." Yan Guang had been with Feng Shan all along and had experienced the process Feng Shan described, so he empathized with him.

At first, I could still follow up and play as the ADC to deal damage, but now I'm the support. I can't imagine how sad I must feel.

Yan Guang feels like she's the Fire Boy from Calabash Brothers, only needing Li Zheng to call out when needed, then she can set a fire and wait to watch the fireworks.

That was the end of it for her; she just sat there and waited.

Oh, there's one thing they have in common with Li Zheng.

That means after Li Zheng sets off the "fireworks," they will all be deaf for almost ten minutes...

"Zhou, go around to the back and hold it back. Be careful not to get hit by its attacks." Li Zheng stood in mid-air with wings on his back, holding a demonic sword and wearing a suit of jet-black dragon armor. Flames surrounded him, making him look like a war god descending.

"Okay!" Zhan Zhouzhou nodded vigorously and immediately activated the aircraft to bypass the mutant from the side, while also attracting some of its attention.

Li Zheng spoke again: "Xiao Ying, give it another wave of spikes, flip it over. Its abdominal shell is relatively weak; a knife can easily cut through it!"

"Roar!" Covered in pink polka dots, as if wearing a layer of crystal armor over dragon scales, Sakura glared at the mutant and released obsidian spikes.

The next moment, the earth trembled, and two pure black thorns pierced the ground, pressing against the lower abdomen of the mutant, as if to overturn it.

"Woo~"

The mutant, which looked like a giant woodlice, suddenly curled up into a ball, just in time to avoid the two ground spikes.

"Sakura, use Earthshaking Slam to shake it open!"

Li Zheng decisively gave the order, found a suitable angle, and calmed himself down with his sword.

This woodlice mutant was covered in wounds after a long battle and looked miserable.

In reality, it was not fundamentally damaged, thanks entirely to its hard and thick shell.

Li Zheng had already slashed the demonic blade dozens of times, but not a single strike could truly penetrate its defense, which was completely unexpected for Li Zheng.

But it also has weaknesses.

One of them is the abdomen, where the carapace is thin and soft. Not to mention the magic blade, even obsidian can cause some damage there.

Each time Sakura releases Obsidian Pierce, the woodlice mutant shrinks into a ball to defend against or avoid damage.

On the other hand, the woodlice's shell is made up of interlocking rings, and Sakura's Earthshaking ability is a perfect counter to this type of target.

A single punch sends a shockwave into the body, causing a flaw in the woodlice's spherical shape.

Li Zheng had failed to seize the opportunity on several previous occasions.

This time, he had everything planned out, just waiting for the moment a flaw would appear.

"Boom!"

Sakura swooped down from the air, her fists, empowered by Pink Poring, slammed into the shell of the woodlice mutant.

The unique vibrations of the Earthshaking Arena are transmitted into the mutant's body, causing the shell to resonate and uncontrollably shake and displace like a shift in the earth's crust.

Click.

A crack appeared where the woodlice mutant was joined together to form a ball.

"Are you still alive now?"

"kill!"

With a thud, Li Zheng activated fourth gear and accelerated swiftly, disappearing into the crevice opened by the woodlice.

Countless fragile limbs inside writhed, trying to capture and strangle Li Zheng.

However, in order to make it easier to transform into a ball shape, its limbs were mutated to be extremely fragile. Li Zheng only needed to lift his knife and turn around his body, and those limbs shattered into large pieces.

"die!"

Li Zheng gripped the knife with both hands and slashed repeatedly, breaking through the paper-thin limbs and rushing to the belly shell of the woodlice mutant.

He raised both arms high and slashed down hard with the scalpel, the hilt of the blade disappearing completely.

With a flick of his wrist, the demonic blade reversed horizontally, accelerating along the lightning wings, and viciously ripped open the woodlice mutant.

……

"ended."

Fengshan stood up, dusted himself off, and waited for Li Zheng and his men to return victorious.

This was the last mutant they had killed that day, and it was only a little past five in the afternoon.

At a rate of almost one mutant every half hour, the challenge event was underway, and all the enthusiastic players on the world channel fell silent.

It wasn't that Li Zheng's killing of the mutants wasn't enough to spark their discussion; it was that they had run out of megaphones...
