Chapter 174: Eternal Legacy of Elder Yuan
[Andrew (12)
...]
[Gray (10)
...]
[Hans (10)
...]
The three people, all with red names, wore very uniform clothing, all in full-body special ops suits (Silver Level), Orichalcon Military Daggers (Gold Level), and Basic Level Tactical Goggles (Silver Level).
They were wrapped tightly from head to toe, obviously not wanting to reveal their true faces.
But it's a pity to put on an act for a blind man; one look and Old Pu had already figured out their background thoroughly.
Among them, Andrew, crouched by the door, was holding a portable super-silent vacuum cleaner (Gold Level), but the vacuum cleaner was held inversely, with its suction inlet connected to a smoke generator (Silver Level).
Li Zheng could guess with his knee that the smoke generator was definitely laced with highly poisonous substances.
He's familiar with this move, recalling how an unlucky guy was killed by him using this trick before.
The three of them apparently didn't expect Li Zheng to still be awake so late, and just as they were about to make a move, he opened the door.
For a moment, the scene fell into a brief silence, and Andrew even forgot that Li Zheng could counterattack.
In the past, when they used this move to assassinate others, it was foolproof. Today, however, they encountered an "Immortal Cultivation" player, who caught them in their evil act on the spot.
"You three..."
Taking advantage of Andrew's moment of distraction after being caught, Li Zheng swiftly raised his sword and sliced off his head from his neck, cleanly and decisively.
"So weak!"
Gray and Hans were splattered with the stinking fresh blood, both were shocked, and after a brief silence, they leapt back, each drawing a weapon and attacking Li Zheng.
Under such circumstances, they were even less likely to speak.
Even though in the Matrix Game, there's a system-assisted translation, enabling people from any country to understand and comprehend all languages.
But once they opened their mouths, differences could still be detected.
Ratatatata...
The tongues of flame illuminated their surroundings, they didn't possess abilities like Ice and Fire Attachment, so the firearm weapons' power relied solely on the ammunition and the weapons' tier.
"A Gold Level AK, and a Gold Level G36?" Li Zheng sidestepped and hid behind the door, closing it.
The bullets from the two firearm weapons hit the exterior of the capsule dwelling with clinking sounds, providing quite a spectacle.
Yet relying solely on the power of Gold Level firearms, they couldn't break through the capsule dwelling's defense in a short time.
[The capsule dwelling has sustained damage...]
"Repair!"
Li Zheng just needed to consume some materials, and the speed of repair was even slightly faster than the damage they inflicted.
With his current stock of Low Tier materials, describing his wealth as substantial wasn't an overstatement, he could play with the two attackers for another hour.
However, Li Zheng was somewhat puzzled.
They dared to assassinate him carrying only a few Gold Level weapons, where did they get such courage?
"Or are the White-headed Eagles' arrogance truly ingrained in their bones?"
The advantage of firearms is their ease of use, as long as you undergo some practice, even an ordinary person who has never been in contact with firearms can wield them.
The drawbacks are naturally more, such as the difficulty in mastering precision control.
This is easily solved, with blueprints in existence, players only need materials, essentially carrying an ammunition warehouse with them.
If precision isn't enough, counter with sheer volume, randomly sweeping with the gun to achieve firepower suppression.
However, compared to the several types of energy weapons Li Zheng possessed, these reality-imitating thermal weapons often had a fatal flaw.
That is a low ammunition capacity!
Unless like Ye Yuan's fierce Gatling, where the bullet chain is directly connected to the capsule dwelling.
Otherwise...
Click click
In just thirty seconds, both of their guns jammed simultaneously, requiring a new magazine for continued firing.
"Out of bullets? Now it's my turn!"
Li Zheng coldly chuckled, quickly pulling the door open, and upon raising his head, he saw the two of them drawing another gun each.
"WDNMD!"
The door was instantly shut.
Ratatatata!
The gunfire rung out, clink clank...
"This is ridiculous, using this method to avoid insufficient firepower? Are they brain-damaged?
I'm done playing with you, if this keeps on, I'll be consuming more and more repair materials, and I'll be at a huge loss."
With a wave of his hand, a battered Gold Level shield flew into his hand.
"Luckily I was smart enough to discover the Dark Knight's weakness in advance, otherwise this shield would've been finished."
For ordinary melee weapons or armor like this, unless the user has special means, they are unrepairable types.
If they break during use, they're gone for good, you have to remake or buy them.
The crucial point is, once damaged, they belong to the unrecoverable category, you can only decompose them before they completely break and recover a small amount of materials.
This is why, even with Spear Mastery and a Platinum Level spear, Li Zheng rarely uses it in battle.
After all, the Cutting Blade belongs to the uncommon category.
"No more waiting, who knows if you have more guns? If you figure it out and take turns shooting and reloading, how would I survive?"
Shield in front, Li Zheng hunched down to hide himself, ready to dash out as soon as he opened the door.
Ratatatata...
Clink clank...
As soon as the door opened, the shield was hit by bullets, flashing with sparks, "Durability" rapidly decreasing.
The hand holding the shield was numbed from the shock, and under the dense shooting, the shield almost slipped out.
Li Zheng figured that if his physique hadn't been increased to Silver Level, at the start of entering the Matrix, even with the shield, he would've been wiped out instantly as he opened the door.
