Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 76 - 74 [Ancient Ruins, Exploration: 90%]
Chapter 76: Chapter 74 [Ancient Ruins, Exploration: 90%]
Yan Guang was the first to make a move, raising her silver-white left arm once again. Pieces of metal flipped open from her arm, revealing the dark barrels beneath.
"Swish swish swish..."
"Swish swish swish..."
She didn’t hold back either. Right from the start, she launched two rounds of missile attacks. Hundreds of miniature missiles, with long and thin trails of flames, all crashed into the mechanical giant, erupting into large plumes of fire and smoke.
"Rat-a-tat-tat~"
Xiao Siyuan lifted the M4, aiming at the mechanical giant’s face. As the fire tongues flickered, sparks flew off the metal face shield of the giant.
As soon as a magazine was emptied, the flames and smoke created by the miniature missiles on the mechanical giant dispersed.
Unscathed!
"Well, I’m completely useless now."
Yan Guang shrugged, her expression suddenly changed as she dodged to the side.
It was the mechanical giant that had raised its massive fist, targeting here, and slammed down with a punch.
The giant mechanical build indicated that the mechanical giant needed a vast number of parts operating simultaneously to move its body.
This caused its movements to be somewhat slow, but its strength was terrifyingly immense.
Though the mechanical giant’s punch was slow, it compressed the surrounding air, forming a strong fist wind.
"Boom!"
Dust rose everywhere as Li Zheng lifted the Desert Eagle, hesitated for a moment, and then put it back down.
His Genetic Force hadn’t recovered much yet. If he used it all now, he would end up like Yan Guang, standing on the side, just watching, reduced to a bystander shouting encouragement.
At that moment, a figure suddenly flashed past him, swiftly rushing in front of the mechanical giant’s fist. Then, leaping up nimbly, it landed on the giant’s metal arm.
"Zhan Zhouzhou?"
Li Zheng saw clearly and was surprised that she dared to jump onto the mechanical giant’s body. Moreover, her balance was extremely stable, as she ran as if on flat ground along the smooth, slanted metal arm.
She inverted the Silver Level Light Saber with one hand, her beautiful eyes exceptionally calm, filled with strong confidence, staring at the top of the mechanical giant’s head.
"Click click click..."
The sound of machinery turning rose as the mechanical giant’s other hand aimed to swat at Zhan Zhouzhou.
The palm covered a large area, and this time, the mechanical giant used its calculation core to pinpoint Zhan Zhouzhou’s movement trajectory.
If Zhan Zhouzhou wanted to dodge this slap, she would have to stop and turn back now, or else she would inevitably be smashed into a puddle.
"Continue!"
Suddenly, a figure shot out from the side, like a cannonball rushing towards the descending palm of the mechanical giant. As he passed by Zhan Zhouzhou, he shouted to her, who was about to slow down.
Zhan Zhouzhou glanced out of the corner of her eye, nodded slightly, and with her unoccupied hand, suddenly flickered with electric light, forming an electric-light-wrapped single-handed longsword.
She finally decided not to hold back anymore and revealed another one of her trump cards.
Gold Level Genetic Ability: Electric Light Sword.
Lv2!
"I’ll buy you some time!"
The person adjusted his posture in the air, preparing to punch.
Li Zheng focused his eyes and realized it was Phoenix Mountain!
Slightly shifting his gaze, Li Zheng immediately understood how Phoenix Mountain acted like a human cannonball.
Yan Guang still maintained the motion of throwing something, retracting that silver-white mechanical arm. Its explosive force was quite astonishing.
When used to attack, it could take down a Sword Mantis with one punch.
Using it to throw things was naturally no problem.
"Burst·Eightfold Amplification!"
Phoenix Mountain’s eyes were filled with wild arrogance, not caring whether his body could withstand the pressure brought by the burst. He started with the extreme eightfold amplification of his current strength.
"You go back!"
Phoenix Mountain roared, his punch crashed into the palm of the mechanical giant.
This punch, with its brute force, actually managed to halt the giant palm for a moment.
However, Phoenix Mountain himself flew back at an even faster speed. If he landed at this speed, he might end up half-dead.
Li Zheng saw that the arm Phoenix Mountain used to punch was limp and fluttering in the wind, clearly broken into several pieces.
"Catch him!"
Li Zheng shouted, Yan Guang reacted instantly, running in the direction Phoenix Mountain was flying back.
"Learn and apply on the spot!"
A capsule appeared in Phoenix Mountain’s intact hand. After pressing, he threw it hard ahead of him.
"Bang!"
The capsule’s house unfolded, tracing a parabola in the air before falling to the ground.
As the house was much heavier than Phoenix Mountain, its speed also slowed accordingly.
"Burst·Fivefold Amplification!"
Phoenix Mountain quickly caught up with the capsule house and, without feeling distress, kicked it hard.
"Thud!"
The capsule house flew even faster to the distance, and Phoenix Mountain used the force of the kick to fully counteract his backward momentum.
However, the price was a leg and large mouthfuls of blood he spat out.
The powerful recoil not only shattered his leg bones but also caused damage to his internal organs.
"Old Xiao, get ready to save him!"
Li Zheng immediately shouted towards Xiao Siyuan, who had just exchanged magazines and was preparing to continue shooting.
"Okay!"
Xiao Siyuan heard the order without any hesitation, decisively put away his gun, and ran towards Phoenix Mountain’s landing spot.
...
On the other side, taking advantage of the brief time Phoenix Mountain had bought her, Zhan Zhouzhou also successfully charged onto the shoulder of the mechanical giant.
The mechanical giant’s head slightly rotated, its massive single eye locking onto Zhan Zhouzhou’s figure, suddenly emitting a red glow.
The next moment, a laser shot out from its eye, directly targeting Zhan Zhouzhou.
The bald-headed girl, whose original target was the mechanical giant’s head, had a slight movement in her eyes, immediately abandoning her original plan and changing targets.
With her long and strong legs tightly tensed, the bald-headed girl suddenly leaped, dodging the laser beam and flying towards the mechanical giant’s neck.
In mid-air, two different longswords danced, transforming into the afterimages of two light rings.
"Zzzla."
"Zzzla."
"Zzzla..."
The dual swords continuously sliced back and forth on the mechanical giant’s body, carving out one deep cut after another.
Among them, the Silver Level light saber had little effect, whereas the Electric Light Longsword formed by her own genetic ability caused more terrifying damage.
The forward momentum halted, and Zhan Zhouzhou’s figure began to fall.
Even when dropping from a height of more than ten meters, her expression didn’t show any panic, her arms continuously swung, cutting numerous electric sparks and scars on the mechanical giant’s body.
From the neck all the way down, Li Zheng kept his eyes on her, not even counting how many times Zhan Zhouzhou struck or how many wounds she inflicted on the opponent.
"Hmm?"
Li Zheng suddenly squinted his eyes; he saw a special glimmer in the cracks cut by Zhan Zhouzhou on the mechanical giant’s chest.
"That texture..."
Thinking of a certain tool, he turned and shouted to Xiao Siyuan: "Old Xiao, toss over the M4!"
At this moment, Yan Guang had already caught Phoenix Mountain, and Xiao Siyuan was performing emergency healing on him. Upon hearing this, without even lifting his head, he took out his own weapon and handed it to Yan Guang.
"Catch!"
Yan Guang immediately understood, caught the M4, and tossed it towards Li Zheng.
"Crack!"
Li Zheng leaped up to catch the M4, turned around, set up the gun, and aimed at the unusual color on the mechanical giant’s chest.
"Ice and Fire Attachment - Ice Element!"
After several battles over the past few days, Li Zheng could already distinguish between the effects of bullets imbued with the Ice and Fire element abilities.
Bullets with the Fire Element attachment would cause a ’burst’ effect upon hitting the target, enhancing attack damage and area.
Whereas with the Ice Element attached, bullets would possess an ’armor-piercing’ trait, making them more likely to penetrate especially hard defensive shells.
"Dadadada..."
The M4’s muzzle spewed fire, Li Zheng similarly opted for a burst mode attack, the bullets coated with Ice Element ability encased in a layer of ice crust, firing towards the mechanical giant’s chest.
The Bronze++ body constitution paired with the equivalent-level reflex speed allowed Li Zheng to achieve the "perfect recoil control" only seen in FPS games.
Almost ignoring the recoil altogether, each bullet emitted a dazzling blue light, hitting the mechanical giant’s chest.
Finally, a bullet pierced through the layers of barriers, shattering a particular section inside.
"Boom!"
The firelight flared explosively.
The mechanical giant’s movements slowed, and the laser beam in its single eye dimmed, ultimately disappearing.
That single eye looked at Li Zheng with a final glint of human-like unwillingness, shrinking to a small light spot.
In the end, that light spot, like a TV screen suddenly having its power cut off, flickered briefly and completely extinguished.
A metallic arm still maintained its punching action, not even having time to retract, as this elite squad, with a coordination deemed perfect, completely destroyed the power core of the mechanical giant. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Devoid of an energy supply, the mechanical giant became a metal statue, posed artistically.
"Clang!"
Zhan Zhouzhou slashed horizontally, the Electric Light Sword cleaved into the mechanical giant’s leg, wrist twisting forcefully, turning the blade vertically.
"Cracklecracklecrackle..."
"Ssszzz..."
Amidst the explosive flashes, the Electric Light Longsword carved a massive and savage scar on the mechanical giant’s body, dragging wildly downwards as Zhan Zhouzhou descended.
She herself also used the friction to stop her falling momentum, dispersing her genetic ability as she neared the ground, the Electric Light Longsword disappearing.
"Plop."
A light landing.
