Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

"Hidden weapons?"

The sharp whistling through the air gave no prior warning, and Li Zheng immediately dismissed the possibility that the opponent used a firearm. Instantly, he retracted his hand and retreated to avoid an ambush from another Night Warrior General.

However, at the very moment he retreated, the Night Warrior General in front of him lunged forward, blade in hand aiming directly at Li Zheng's right eye with immense speed!

[Duck, bend over!]

Old Pru, whom he hadn't heard from in a while during a battle, gave a pointer, and Li Zheng instinctively complied. With a bend of his waist, both the hidden weapon and blade attacks were neutralized.

[Charge!]

A simple and direct hint, and Li Zheng got the message. In this stance, he couldn't exert enough force to slash, so instead, he followed Old Pru's guidance, charging with all his might.

"I'll smash you to pieces!"

Li Zheng roared loudly, exerting power through his waist, and charged like a raging bear, crashing into the arms of the Night Warrior General before him.

The Night Warrior General was just about to withdraw the attack to evade when a large hand suddenly appeared from the side, grabbing its thin forearm tightly.

"Humph, how could I let you escape?" Li Zheng grinned widely, baring sharp teeth, his face full of ferocity, pressing forward even more aggressively.

Thud!

Splat!

A surge of warm black liquid splattered over Li Zheng's head as the headbutt, which was a sure hit, missed its mark.

Li Zheng staggered a step, wiping the liquid from his face haphazardly and looked up.

At the critical moment, the Night Warrior General tore off its own arm forcefully and retreated.

The liquid was the blood gushing out from the shoulder wound where it had torn its arm off.

Pitched black, warm, and quite unlike human blood.

"Tsk, bah!"

The surefire move was dodged in such a manner, and Li Zheng spat in discontent, spitting out a drop of that blood that had splashed into his mouth.

The taste of the blood was surprisingly sweet, like concentrated syrup, too sweet to bear with just a drop.

"Sweeter than nutrient liquid, damn, you surely have diabetes!"

Seeing the Night Warrior General rapidly and repeatedly tapping its shoulder to stop the gushing blood, Li Zheng clutched the severed arm tightly with both hands, tearing it into two pieces.

"With one arm less, let's see how long you can last!"

Throwing the severed arm away, Li Zheng re-gripped the Sheathed Sword, striding forward boldly in attack.

Along the way, he hooked the other half of the Sheathed Sword that he had thrown mid-air, twisting his wrist to draw it.

Clang-clang.

The Dagger was drawn on the other side, and the short rod parts were again flung away by Li Zheng.

This sudden attack left Li Zheng without time to retract the capsule dwelling; the extra Sheathed Sword parts were tossed about haphazardly.

"Without the capsule dwelling, it's really inconvenient."

Li Zheng complained in his heart but wasn't slow; raising the sword he aimed to chop.

Unfortunately, the Night Warrior General was too fast, and without cooling down the Eye Demon War Boots, he simply couldn't catch up.

Every attack was dodged by the opponent, and Li Zheng yelled in anger, purple flames flickering in his eye sockets.

Although the violent hostility at the bottom of his heart might interfere with his mood, he still had a basic sense of rationale, knowing that continuing in this way would only be disadvantageous for him.

"If this continues, when the Power Demon Incarnation's Ability ends, the battle will reverse, and I'll become the beef on the chopping board."

Li Zheng glanced at the Genetic Force, knowing he could maintain the Incarnation's ability for eighteen more seconds.

His pursuing steps came to an abrupt halt, leaving this injured Night Warrior General behind, he turned and flew towards Sakura's direction.

"Join forces with Sakura and Pink Poli, take down one first!"

Even though the battlefields were quite far apart, Li Zheng didn't mind the energy consumption, activating the Flying Device to the maximum. In just four seconds, he arrived near Sakura.

This area had already been filled with stone pillars by Sakura, altering the terrain. The crowded stone pillars just happened to restrain the Night Warrior General's greatest strength: speed.

"No wonder, I wondered why there weren't any hidden weapon ambushes from behind anymore. It turned out they were trapped by Sakura."

Truth be told, Sakura could think of such a method to delay the Night Warrior General and even secretly help Li Zheng mitigate some of the trouble.

This kind of overall view in combat was beyond Li Zheng's expectations. In his mind, Sakura had barely experienced any battles since birth.

Even with many powerful Abilities right now, it was still expected to be challenging to fully unleash them.

"Since this little guy has such a high combat Talent, it shouldn't be wasted. Starting tomorrow, I'll let Sakura handle as many enemies as possible to fully develop its Talent."

Tilting his head slightly, Li Zheng glanced back. The Night Warrior General missing one arm was trailing behind at a distance, and at this moment, it had already retrieved its bizarre weapon from the severed arm.

It seemed to sense Li Zheng looking at it, as the Night Warrior General's pursuit paused slightly before rushing sideways, trying to reach the stone pillar forest ahead of Li Zheng.

"Humph, as cunning as a fox." Li Zheng was a bit regretful. Along the way, he had deliberately exposed his back entirely in the opponent's view, leaving wide openings.

Yet the opponent didn't fall for it, making him appear somewhat "self-indulgent."

"Fourteen seconds left, that's enough!" Li Zheng rushed headlong into the forest of stone pillars.

In an instant, surrounded by stone pillars, his vision was blocked. Under the darkness, he couldn't even see the dead angles under the stone pillars from a short distance clearly.

But none of this was a problem. No matter how dense the stone pillars were, it was all Sakura's domain here.

"Sakura, cooperate with me!" Li Zheng called out loudly, following the sounds of Pink Poli's punches, delving into the stone pillar forest.

"Awo~" Sakura shot up in the air in response, indicating it understood.

In the next second, a thin black needle as fine as a hair, and as long as an index finger, suddenly shot out at high speed from within the stone pillars.

Sakura was startled; fortunately, it was already on guard, quickly lowering its height to avoid the strike.

However, with just that glance, Sakura had already seen Li Zheng's position.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The stone pillar forest added two more stone pillars, but several silently disappeared in front of Li Zheng, clearing up his view.

Vaguely, Li Zheng saw a completely dark figure flicker past in the shadow of a stone pillar not far ahead.

"Found you!"

The Power Demon Incarnation could be maintained for ten more seconds, and Li Zheng's expression changed. He turned off the Flying Device on his back and quietly landed on the ground.

Activating the Hover Propulsion Device would spew out a great deal of airflow, making a lot of noise, which, in this environment, would undoubtedly expose his presence.

After landing, Li Zheng tried hard to suppress his emotions, striving to restrain the purple flames in his eyes, minimizing any trait that could reveal his position.

Slowing down his footsteps, Li Zheng made a turn within the forest of stone pillars without making a sound.

But he had also lost sight of the Night Warrior General he had just seen.

Old Pru could provide an approximate direction, but the specific location would still have to be found by Li Zheng himself.

Pitter-patter!

Not far away, the sound of Pink Poli's Monster Fist blows echoed, suggesting it had encountered the Night Warrior General.

Li Zheng wasn't in a hurry. After determining the direction, he hid behind a stone pillar.

The Power Demon Incarnation had six seconds left.

Five seconds.

Four seconds,

Three seconds.

It was at this moment that a shadow turned the corner, appearing right before Li Zheng.

This shadow was the Night Warrior General, missing an arm, previously tangled with Li Zheng.

And this corner was precisely a lethal position Li Zheng had chosen after judging the opponent's general direction.

With Old Pru's guidance, finding such a corner wasn't hard at all.

Swish!

The Longsword slashed through the air, while the other hand flung out a Dagger, aiming for a spot below a stone pillar not far away.

Thud!

The sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh echoed as Li Zheng twisted his wrist, rushing towards the place the Dagger had been thrown.

"Die!"

With one sword strike, he beheaded!

Everything happened in a flash; from the moment they encountered until he felled the Night Warrior General with a sword strike, not even a second had passed!

"Next one!"

Brushing off the slight bloodstains on the sword, Li Zheng turned around, heading towards where Sakura was.
