Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 49 - 47: Go Out and Have a Look

After a round of mini cannon fire finished, Lin Fan endured the continuous bombardment, with his Genetic Force depleting rapidly, nearing empty.

"Is... it over?"

Lin Fan opened his mouth and expelled a puff of black smoke, still in shock.

Just a bit more, and his Genetic Force would have dropped to zero.

During this time, he had tried to dodge the bomb blasts, but each attempt was thwarted by the impact, forcing him back, subjected to relentless bombardment against the thin film behind the metal door.

"Oh?"

Yan Guang raised an eyebrow, surprised, "Still not dead, huh?"

No matter, since you’re not dead...

"Let’s do two more rounds of bombarding then. Materials are plentiful, and even if it takes ten more rounds, it won’t be a problem."

Yan Guang shrugged, and the metal panels on his left arm suddenly folded and turned, revealing rectangular holes once more.

Whiz whiz whiz~

The mini cannonballs fired again. Hearing "whiz whiz whiz" now almost gave Lin Fan PTSD; he didn’t care about anything else and turned to run.

The metal skateboard was ruined in the previous round of bombing, so he could only advance on foot this time.

Boom boom boom!

The explosions erupted behind him, Lin Fan’s heart pounding in fear, crouching while clutching his lantern and Identity Card, glancing forward in his peripheral vision.

"This room isn’t big, the next door is just ahead, and these people’s exploration opportunities should have been exhausted. Once I enter, I’ll be safe!"

Seeing the metal door getting closer, the bombing sounds intensified, almost upon him.

The impact from the explosions struck his back, and his Genetic Force began depleting even faster, its already single-digit value approaching zero.

"Made it, swipe the card!"

Beep.

The metal door opened.

Lin Fan rolled headfirst into the thin membrane light screen.

Upon entering, only one thought occupied his mind: "Oh God, please... no! Never let me encounter a player again, I promise never to use Death Declaration again!"

"I swear!"

...

"Survived... barely... whew."

Gasping heavily, Lin Fan finally calmed his nerves and began surveying his surroundings.

He saw a stone ceiling, and next to it, a metal door embedded in the stone wall, dim lighting, a cold, damp atmosphere.

"Is this... a cave?"

Lin Fan immediately went on alert.

Though he had killed other players in the past few days, he had also communicated with them while gaining their trust.

He knew that entering a non-metal room often meant a monster was lurking within.

His Genetic Force had already depleted completely, the Blood and Qi Armor had reverted to dense Blood Qi, swirling around him.

The Blood Qi shifted, sometimes forming into a roaring ghost, sometimes into a menacing yasha.

The Blood Qi wasn’t derived from his Genetic Ability but arose autonomously during his murder of other players as Chu Xiao had noted.

By chance, he acquired a Genetic Ability development tool while merging a capsule residence from an unnamed player. (The result of the Death Declaration)

After using it, the ability he developed just happened to allow him to manipulate this Blood Qi.

On some level, the denser the Blood Qi around him, the stronger his Genetic Ability became.

Eventually, it could even be transformed into various weapons to confront enemies, with each attribute starting at Gold Level.

However...

Ultimately unlucky, he got entangled with the righteous siblings of the Ye family, preventing him from continuing his player hunt.

The Blood Qi density was only sufficient to form a thin layer of armor.

Without the protection of the Blood and Qi Armor, Lin Fan felt incredibly unsafe, fearing that monsters might suddenly emerge from the darkness.

"Blood and Qi Transformation requires ten Genetic Force points to activate. At least ten minutes are needed."

Lin Fan retrieved an S686 loaded with ammunition from his Capsule Residence to guard against the anticipated monster attack.

Seconds later, after safely loading the S686, Lin Fan didn’t hear a single unusual sound in the cave’s darkness.

"Could there really be no monsters lurking here?"

With that thought, Lin Fan rose, cradling his gun, gradually venturing deeper into the darkness.

The Death Declaration only activated during door exploration and Fusion Capsule Residence. Holding it otherwise was not only useless but its blood-red glow sometimes proved counterproductive.

"Click~"

A crisp sound froze Lin Fan, who cautiously lowered his head to look at the ground.

He found he had just stepped on an animal fragment and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Picking up the fragment, he examined it carefully, identifying the species: "Looks like some kind of arthropod insect."

Tossing the fragment aside casually.

"There was once a battle here; someone killed some spider-like insect monsters in this room," Lin Fan mused, "Now there’s no noise, suggesting the monsters were wiped out, and the player has left."

After fleeing into this channel, Lin Fan experienced setback after setback and no longer dared underestimate any player in channel 0000879.

Finally, having reached a "Death Declaration" with ten percent more rooms without encountering other players, his mind relaxed completely.

But then,

A powerful sense of shame began brewing, intense hostility coursing through him.

He had begun to bear a grudge against every player responsible for his situation.

Including the Ye siblings, Chu Xiao, and several players from channel 0000879.

Getting agitated, Lin Fan trembled all over, eyes bloodshot, teeth clenched, seething with a desire to crush his enemies piece by piece.

Eventually, he took deep breaths to calm himself, murmuring a self-advice softly: "Bear it for a while, don’t use Death Declaration for a few days, stick to regular ten explorations."

With a solid base from the over thirty players he’d killed over the past two days, Lin Fan believed it would only take time for him to outshine those players he’s encountered.

"Once I’ve made significant improvements, I’ll start gradually using the Death Declaration, advance step by step, and dominate this channel!"

Lin Fan had already forgotten his solemn vow moments earlier to never use the Death Declaration again.

Having just escaped danger, he’s contemplating it once more.

After all, looting from other players was inherently tempting, let alone Death Declaration’s overpowering ability.

It gives an additional plundered item with the highest quality +1 during the looting.

His Genetic Ability development tool, metal skateboard, and even the "Space Jumping Device" he used to escape from channel one were all obtained through Death Declaration’s characteristics.

How could anyone resist such temptation?

"First, find a place to rest for the night, and begin my path of revenge tomorrow."

Lin Fan planned to locate the next metal door as a priority to start exploring quickly the next morning.

Gradually, he ventured deeper into the cave.

Along the way, he frequently spotted fragmented monster corpses.

Sometimes in corners.

Sometimes on protruding stones.

Sometimes even stuck to the stone walls.

"Strange, why are the monster corpses here so completely fragmented, and scattered in pieces?"

Intuition told Lin Fan something wasn’t right, but he couldn’t pinpoint the issue.

Drowsiness settled in as Li Zheng rose to close the door and prepare to sleep, but his ears picked up on a faint sound.

"Sound coming from outside the Capsule Residence, could there still be a Four-eyed Long-haired Spider that wasn’t killed?"

Momentarily suspicious, Li Zheng dismissed the idea.

If there were, Prelis’ Eye should have alerted him.

"It can detect wolves through countless trees, but can’t detect outside just through the Capsule’s wall..."

Li Zheng sometimes didn’t understand how Prelis’ Eye worked. When inside his residence, looking at the walls or door, Prelis’ Eye wouldn’t give information about the outside.

That’s why earlier, he had Sakura outside to check on wolves.

"Should I go out and check?"

With that thought, Li Zheng’s hand closed around the handle of the Capsule Residence’s door.
