Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 850 - 609: "Welcome, My Clone!

"Task?"

Upon hearing this, the other players, except for Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou, were taken aback.

Isn't their task the upcoming team battle that hasn't even started yet?

There's still over a minute left in the team assembly time, yet this person claims their task is complete?

"Task!"

The reaction of Evil Eye Yamamoto was the opposite, staring intently at the three, "They're from the Outer City! No wonder they can unleash such strong power with the same strength rating!"

Before its rebirth, it was also a resident of the Outer City. After rebirth, it lost its original identity, parasitized within the player Yamamoto, seizing the player's privileges. Now, it could only retrace its path step by step back to the Outer City.

However, having experienced it once, it was confident it could enter the Outer City faster than other players.

By then, it could search for its old friends or clansmen, reconstruct its body with their help.

"The doctor should still have some backups stored. Current identity must not be exposed, just develop peacefully." Evil Eye Yamamoto's expression shifted as it calmed its emotions, pretending to know nothing.

Wang Xiaoshan and the others watched Li Zheng's back in shock. They weren't fools and could infer a lot from a few words.

Chaikefu's face changed, looking a little grim: "Previously, he asked if I was afraid of Li Zheng's revenge. I said I wasn't, but now it seems... Li Ruizhou is Li Zheng, he's not dead!"

The existence of the Outer City had spread among players over ten days ago, but no one had figured out exactly where this so-called Outer City was.

Over time, most people treated the Outer City as a rumor, not taking it seriously.

Now, Chaikefu knew, the Outer City really existed!

And Li Zheng had already entered it before them!

"I'm doomed!" Despair filled his heart. As a red-named Bloody player, he knew Li Zheng likely wouldn't spare him: "Those legions attacking and slaughtering the Starting Point members are doomed too!"

After entering the Outer City, Li Zheng must have encountered more adventures, but no one could be sure of his current strength.

Just from that terrifying blade light earlier, Chaikefu knew none of the players could stand against him!

No matter how many came, it wouldn't make a difference!

That wasn't a gap numbers could bridge!

"Now, you have two choices." Zhan Zhouzhou walked to stand beside Li Zheng. "Either we team up and kill you, or obediently take third place."

"Ha." The Executor laughed out loud: "Is there even a choice?"

He looked deeply at Li Zheng: "You two getting first and second is well-deserved. What harm is it for me to take third?"

At this moment, the players observing suddenly sensed something was off.

In a few minutes, there were forty people here, perfectly divided into four teams.

Now, five had died, meaning apart from the inevitable top three teams, five more would be eliminated and killed.

Act first!

Evil Eye Yamamoto suddenly burst forth, twisting vine-like tendrils snaking out from under its hood, piercing the bodies of three players around it.

Having succeeded in one move, it withdrew swiftly, distancing itself from the shocked crowd.

Someone reacted, drew a weapon and fired at it, only to be decapitated by another player behind with a single slash.

In an instant, there were only twenty-nine people left on the field, one more dead.

Li Zheng tightened his grip on his knife, observing that no points for killing had been accumulated by those who killed, and he relaxed his fingers.

"Now, let's divide into teams." The Executor spoke, his tone containing a hint of mockery.

Selfishness is found in every race, such changes among players were anticipated by him, so it was no surprise.

After dividing into teams, Li Zheng led Wang Xiaoshan, Chaikefu, Carol, Feng Bujue, Li Minshun, and the teammates who had helped earlier, including Yu Xiaoyu, Yuanfei Yuluo, and Zhan Zhouzhou, to form a nine-person team.

As for the teammates who entered the third round with Zhan Zhouzhou, she didn't bother with them, leaving them to fend for themselves.

When the fight broke out earlier, these people stood by watching; naturally, Zhan Zhouzhou was not inclined to care for their survival.

The last group aligned with the Executor to form a team, while others, having seen Evil Eye Yamamoto's viciousness, drew him in to form another team.

With only three teams left, even the battle process was skipped.

Once the team time ended, two teams conceded to Li Zheng's group, surrendering first place. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The Executor saw Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou grouped together and wanted to negotiate terms to compete with another team for second place.

Zhan Zhouzhou ignored him: "You agreed to third, so third it is!"

"Alright, we concede." The Executor resigned, having no choice but to take third.

Evil Eye Yamamoto, in contrast, reaped the benefits of the brawl, coming in second, with Chen Qianxiang, who was previously in his team, silently taking third.

His gorilla pet was also his, released from the spectator stand once teaming ended.

Mirel returned to stand beside Li Zheng.

[Challenge complete, rankings are as follows:...]

The third-round challenge, which was supposed to have a fierce fight to determine rankings, ended unexpectedly smoothly and swiftly due to Li Zheng and the others' disruptive tactics.

[Now distributing rewards: Third-place team members each receive an Extraordinary Level item.]

[Second-place team members each receive three Extraordinary Level items.]

[First-place team members each receive a Star Shining Level item.]

These were the task reward information visible to players, with a yield far exceeding the value they would typically find in ten days of exploration in the Matrix.

[Congratulations, you've completed the fixed task as well as Optional Task One and Optional Task Three, receiving: 500 Red Crystal Coins and an opportunity to visit the Central Matrix.]

This was the reward information Li Zheng received. The five hundred Red Crystal Coins no longer mattered; Li Zheng was more intrigued by the "opportunity to visit the Central Matrix" that followed.

Another place he had never heard of.

Zhan Zhouzhou and another Outer City Executor also completed their tasks, receiving rewards similar to Li Zheng's. However, aside from Red Crystal Coins, they only received the time extension reward for staying in the Matrix, not the chance to visit the Central Matrix.

As rewards were distributed one by one, Li Zheng found the scene before his eyes shifting to a strange place.

At this moment, he could no longer maintain his heavily injured state, spurting a mouthful of clotted blood and slowly collapsing.

The pain was like his body being torn apart, as if someone was slowly slicing away his flesh with a blade.

Li Zheng gritted his teeth to endure, the lingering effects of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill within him barely able to slowly repair his damaged body, but it had little effect in alleviating the pain.

After what felt like a long time, he exhaled deeply, sitting up drenched in sweat.

"Are you alright?"

An electronic voice sounded from behind. Li Zheng turned to look and saw an enormous computer. In front of it, he appeared as insignificant as an ant.

A screen on the computer displayed an avatar that looked almost identical to him!

"Are you... the Terminal?"

Li Zheng's heart was stirred.

"Yes, it's me."

The avatar displayed a gentle smile, "Welcome, my clone number 19910909."
