Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

The red-named player's body was pierced by bullets, then dissipated like smoke, merging into the ground.

This time Li Zheng saw it clearly, a humanoid shadow on the ground was fleeing rapidly.

"Run? Can you really escape?"

Li Zheng sneered, turning his gun, moving the Daiyu Spear in the direction the opponent was escaping.

The shadow passed by Shinoda Chizuru, rapidly transferring towards the nearest metal door.

After ten meters, the ability failed, and the player was forced out of the ground.

Li Zheng was just waiting for this moment, activating his ability again, decisively pulling the trigger, and another ice-blue bullet shot towards the opponent.

However, this person seemed to be expecting it, and before completely leaving the Shadow Escape state, he rolled sideways, dodging the shot once more.

Li Zheng was somewhat surprised: "Quite clever, but unfortunately, you met me."

The Daiyu Spear disappeared, replaced by the Salted Fish Spear, a slight aim, then a series of blue energy bombs were fired.

The Ice and Fire Attachment ability, the more it's used, the more you can appreciate its benefits.

The greatest advantage is its versatility, it can attach to anything with very low energy consumption.

The player encountered this time wasn't fast, but very alert, having his own method for dealing with gunfire.

After rolling to dodge the first bullet, he wasted no time, quickly getting up and starting an irregular S-shaped move.

This kind of movement greatly increased the difficulty for Li Zheng's attacks because it was impossible to predict which direction he would dodge next.

Li Zheng showed an amused expression: "This dodging style might work against ordinary people, but before me... it's not enough!"

Li Zheng took a deep breath.

Held his breath.

Focused his mind.

His gaze suddenly turned into a state of indifference, as if nothing around could disturb him.

Meanwhile, his world view changed.

In his vision, the red-named player's movements seemed ten times slower, every step's distance, every arm swing's amplitude, were entirely clear to Li Zheng.

This was a small ability attached to Silver Level neural response speed, allowing a brief entry into such a hyper-visual state, though it put a heavy burden on the user's eyes.

Li Zheng was using it for the first time, and the effect was exceptional.

"It's now!"

Li Zheng seized the moment the opponent's lifted foot was about to touch the ground, pulling the trigger.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two bullets fired consecutively from the chamber.

Li Zheng's eyes flickered, returning to normal, confidently holstering his gun.

Opposite him, the red-named player's knees, one in front of the other, simultaneously burst with blood.

The ice-blue bullet entered at the hollows behind his knees, exploding the opponent's knees, with cold instantly freezing his wound.

The small amount of blood splatter that hit the ground also turned into blood-colored ice crystals.

The red-named player maintained his escape posture, taking two steps forward, lost balance, and fell to the ground.

Leaving only his shins still standing behind.

The next moment.

A pig-slaughtering wail, the painful scream thunderously rang out.

Even with both legs broken, the man struggled, clawing at the ground with his hands, crawling arduously towards the nearest metal door.

Crawling as he screamed, screaming as he crawled.

Li Zheng coldly watched his movements, leisurely walked over, standing in front of him to block his way.

Looking down at him, Li Zheng asked, "Does it hurt?"

The man gritted his teeth, swallowed his screams into his stomach, and with a venomous glance, pulled out a tachi, slashing at Li Zheng's ankle.

Li Zheng lightly jumped to avoid it, landing with both feet aimed, fiercely stomping on the back of the opponent's hand, grinding it into the ground along with the hilt.

"Ugh ugh ugh..." The man's eyes bulged, eyeballs protruding, yet he stubbornly refrained from screaming again, only an odd sound rolling in his throat.

Li Zheng kicked the tachi out from under his palm, crouching in front of him, appearing to scrutinize him, curiously said, "I must say, I've killed quite a few red names, and people from your country have the toughest mouths, not one word of pleading even when facing death.

Could it be, you've already prepared for this when you killed the first person, or is it simply saving face to hold out?

Or perhaps, thinking that by feigning not fearing death, others will praise you as a hero, then spare you?"

"Zhina pig..." The red-named player stared venomously at Li Zheng, voice squeezed from between his teeth, pulling a grimacing smile, eyes showing mockery: "This time I am outmatched, so what if you kill me?"

"This week on Channel 24, I've killed a few players from your Zhina country."

"Do you know how shameless those Zhina boars were just before death?"

"I told them to eat shit, and they really did!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"And those women, for the sake of survival, personally stabbed their compatriots' hearts."

"For the sake of survival, stripped naked themselves, begging me to have them!"

"Hahahahaha! I must say, women from your Zhina country, quite juicy, very moist!"

As he spoke, he erupted into insane laughter, eyes filled with venom.

Li Zheng's eyes subtly contained killing intent, seemingly ready to kill him the next second.

Yet two seconds later, the killing intent suddenly dissipated, Li Zheng showed a mocking smile: "You think by enraging me like this, I would just kill you swiftly to spare you some pain?"

Slap!

Slap!

A left and a right slap across the face shattered all remaining teeth in the red-named player's mouth.

Li Zheng shook his hand and said, "These two slaps are punishment for insulting my compatriots."

"Let's play slowly."

Grabbing the player's clothing, storing the tachi that had fallen nearby, Li Zheng dragged him like a dead dog to Shinoda Chizuru's side.

Throwing him down, the tachi was thrust through his shoulder blade, nailing him to the ground.

It was only then that Li Zheng had the time to examine the paralyzed woman from Nihong Country.

Her features were indeed delicate, her pair of dark eyes seemed to see hope, glowing as she looked at Li Zheng.

The tattered clothes did little to cover her body, large areas of skin exposed, many places still with clear bite marks.

Most of the wounds had coagulated blood, some bite marks came from animals.

But most were human bite marks.

Extremely miserable.

Li Zheng pulled out a piece of clothing, draped it over her, then crouched in front of her, asking: "Can you still talk?"

Shinoda Chizuru blinked: "..."

Li Zheng understood: "It's okay if you can't speak, I'm now leaving his life in your hands, you decide his fate, how about it?"

"Agree, blink once, disagree, blink twice."

Shinoda Chizuru blinked, once.

Li Zheng continued asking: "Do you want him to live, or do you want him to die?"

Shinoda Chizuru blinked, once.

Li Zheng was surprised: "You want him to live? Yes, blink once, no, blink twice."

Blinked, once.

Li Zheng: "..."

He completely didn't expect, Shinoda Chizuru actually wanted to spare this person.

Li Zheng didn't quite accept this kind of thinking, and asked again: "Do you want him to live so he suffers more than death or do you want to kill him yourself?"

Shinoda Chizuru looked at him, did not blink.

Now, Li Zheng was thoroughly confused.

Not blinking meant choosing neither, indicating Shinoda Chizuru simply wanted to let this person live.

Li Zheng didn't understand this reasoning.

However, he didn't mind, he was just following a sudden whim, and regardless of Shinoda Chizuru's choice, this person was destined to die.

Li Zheng shook his head disappointedly, taking out a purple mechanical leg from his residence, handing it to the red-named player: "Take it."

"?"

The man was stunned, a Diamond-level item in hand, he instinctively stored it in his capsule residence.

The next second, blood splattered everywhere.

Li Zheng wiped off the blood on the corpse and put away the tachi.

An Identity Card surfaced on the corpse.

Picking up the Identity Card, Li Zheng glanced at Shinoda Chizuru, discovering the toxins in her body were weakening.

This was the toxin causing her paralysis being metabolized, soon she would recover.

"You are not a red-named, I will not kill you. But your choice doesn't align with mine, so I won't heal you either."

"Take care of yourself."

Having said this, Li Zheng called out to Sakura, preparing to leave.

Seeing the pink Poli still clinging to the little one's leg, he was troubled again.

Dealing with this thing was a difficult matter.

Finally, taking one last look at Shinoda Chizuru, Li Zheng continued his exploration journey with his two companions.
