Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 72 Elite Squad
With her five fingers spread, Yan Guang aimed her palm at the mechanical mantises chasing Li Zheng. At this moment, some of them noticed the two of them and turned to fly over here.

Do you need me to buy you some time?

Zhan Zhouzhou, carrying a lightsaber, was ready to use her family's traditional footwork to step forward and block the first wave of attacks for Yan Guang.

"Need not."

Yan Guang shook his head, "You only need to take care of the ones who slipped through the net; the rest, just watch my performance."

"It's show time!"

As he spoke, Yan Guang tossed his short hair, parted his lips slightly, revealing his clean, white teeth.

The next moment, a large number of miniature shells flew out from the densely packed magazines on the silver mechanical arm, covering the swarm of mechanical mantises.

Compared to the overwhelming swarm of mechanical mantises, the number of these shells seemed insignificant.

However, its momentum is in no way weaker.

Each miniature projectile trailed a long, thin flame, emitting a pale blue light, and burrowed into the swarm of mantises. As soon as it touched one, it exploded into a burst of fire.

Boom boom boom...

Amidst a series of explosions, Li Zheng was loading snake needles into the Desert Eagle's magazine. In his haste, he glanced back and saw a large number of broken swords and mantises, mixed with metal parts, cascading to the ground like a waterfall amidst the raging flames.

The mechanical mantis swarm instantly lost a small section, its numbers decreasing by one-fifth.

"666!"

Seeing this, Li Zheng was extremely grateful that the last team spot had been given to Yan Guang. This single act of firepower was equivalent to five Feng Shan's.

This bombardment attracted the attention of the remaining mechanical mantises. After their core intelligence made a judgment, they decisively left ten mechanical mantises to continue pursuing Li Zheng, while the rest turned around and rushed towards Yan Guang.

"Can we do it again?"

Zhan Zhouzhou looked at the fifty-odd mechanical mantises rushing towards them and asked Yan Guang a question.

"rest assured."

Yan Guang turned the magazine on his arm upside down and smiled, "There's still one spare magazine. After this, I'll be done for."

The cooldown period is approximately thirty seconds, after which the next round of attacks can begin.

"Ah."

Zhan Zhouzhou nodded slightly: "Then let's do it one more time, and leave the rest to me."

"no problem!"

Yan Guang gave a thumbs-up with his right hand, and then fired a large number of miniature projectiles from his left arm.

After another round of bombardment, less than forty mechanical mantises remained, and they were right in front of them.

"Ugh."

Yan Guang lowered his left arm with a sense of unfinished business. The metal plate on it flipped over and returned to its original state. "It's a pity I have too few materials. I can only fire black iron-grade shells, which are not powerful enough."

Otherwise, one shot would have taken down each of the small dagger mantises; the entire area could have been wiped out just now.

"It's already great."

Without saying much, Zhan Zhouzhou swung his lightsaber and leaped forward, venturing into the swarm of mechanical mantises. He unleashed his family's swordsmanship, single-handedly holding back nearly half of the mantises.

The remaining half of the mantis serpents bypassed Zhan Zhouzhou and launched an attack on Yan Guang.

"I wonder if Li Zheng will reimburse the materials used this time."

Muttering something to himself, Yan Guang raised his left arm and smashed the fastest flying mantis with a single punch.

The knife and the body were shattered into pieces, scattered all over the ground.

Behind them, the mechanical giant was less than 100 meters away. This time, Feng Shan unleashed his power, jumped out of the skylight, and pulled Xiao Siyuan, who was physically weaker, out.

The two jumped down from the top of the passage. Xiao Siyuan set up his Silver-class M4a1 and instantly entered combat mode, starting to pick off enemies one by one.

Da da da……

The M4a1 fires in bursts, the muzzle flashes, the 5.56 bullets carrying powerful kinetic energy. If the mechanical mantis is hit, it will either be penetrated or completely destroyed.

Feng Shan stood beside him, guarding against other mechanical mantises attacking Xiao Siyuan.

With Li Zheng holding off ten Blade Mantises, the Desert Eagle, though only a bronze-level firearm, easily took down one mechanical Blade Mantis with a single shot after being imbued with platinum-level genetic abilities.

The biggest challenge was that the mechanical mantises were very agile, and once the swarm of mantises dispersed, they had more room to dodge, which put Li Zheng in a brief stalemate.

However, with the snake needles being sprayed like water, the ten mantises had dwindled to six. Zhan Zhouzhou was now fighting off more than ten mechanical mantises alone.

She had already accumulated a lot of combat experience in the metal tunnel, and she had mastered the attack rhythm of the mechanical mantis, so it was relatively easy for her.

After losing its ability to cover a wide area with firepower, Yan Guang used one of its mechanical arms for close combat, and its capabilities were not weak.

In particular, the mechanical mantis itself is not very strong, and it mainly relies on its agile movements and sharp blades to kill enemies.

Yan Guang truly mastered the art of overcoming skill with brute force. No matter how nimbly the mechanical mantises dodged, she would simply throw a punch at whichever mantis dared to extend its blades, destroying both the blades and the mantis itself.

Extremely violent!

At the very back, Xiao Siyuan fired precise shots; after all, the M4a1 was also a Silver-tier weapon, and its power was considerable.

Every single shot he fired was effective.

The current Xiao Siyuan is completely different from the one who first met Li Zheng.

He was focused and decisive when shooting.

He grabbed the magazine with one hand, simultaneously lifting the gun.

Once the bullets are depleted, a single flick of the hand removes the magazine, which is then stored in the capsule. A brand new, fully loaded magazine is then installed, achieving a near-seamless transition.

It's fair to say that he wielded an M4 with incredible skill.

With such reliable teammates, almost no one could get past a few of them with a single scythe. Fengshan, the relatively weak and clumsy guy, suddenly found himself with nothing to do.

It can be said that the exploration team composed of the players that Li Zheng brought in this time can be considered as the top elites of the entire 0000879 channel!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The snake needles were fired in quick succession, completely clearing out the mechanical mantises attacking Li Zheng. The last one landed on the ground, twitched twice, lost its kinetic energy, and became a piece of junk.

[Genetic Force: 14/100]

[Ancient Ruins, Exploration Progress: 62%]

Li Zheng glanced at the two data points, then immediately turned back and rushed towards Zhan Zhouzhou. His Desert Eagle gun spewed blue light as it helped the enemy deal with the remaining few mechanical mantises.

As time passed, with the combined efforts of the group, the once overwhelming horde of mechanical mantises was completely wiped out in a short period of time.

At the same time, the mechanical giant had only walked to a distance of less than thirty meters from the group.

"Da da da……"

The M4a1 emptied another magazine, and the last mechanical mantis was also shot down.

"嘤嘤!"

Sakura's figure flashed by quickly, with three mechanical mantises hot on her heels. The little guy took a moment to turn around and deplete the little bit of genetic energy she had just recovered before continuing her escape.

Although the three mechanical mantises did not suffer any fatal injuries, their entire metal bodies were riddled with dents, clearly indicating that they had been hit by more than one flying rock projectile.

"..."

Li Zheng was also helpless. Although Xiaoying possessed upgraded Iron-level gene abilities, she still lacked experience in combat.

It falls short in terms of accuracy alone.

Even though all three mechanical mantises could be shot down if their flying rock projectiles accurately hit their heads.

However, even after the war has dragged on until now, the three mechanical mantises are still incredibly fierce, chasing the little guy around.

"Da da da……"

Xiao Siyuan changed to a new magazine and fired in bursts, shooting down the last three mechanical mantises.

Beside him, Feng Shan, who had been bored, suddenly felt that things had quieted down behind him and sensed that something was wrong.

Turning around abruptly, they discovered that the mechanical giant had stopped and was now heading towards the squad.

On their shoulders, two enormous cannons were already mounted, their dark muzzles pointed directly at them.

"R!P!G!"

Fengshan was terrified and roared at the top of his lungs.

At the same time, the two plasma cannons on the mechanical giant's shoulders completed their final charging and burst out with two dazzling beams of electricity!
