Chapter 12: Defeating the Terror Bats and Obtained a Level 1 Gene Core
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The detector was permanently on, and the lens had turned orange-red.
This meant that there was danger everywhere.
“Heh, you think I can’t find you just because you’re hiding in the dark? Please…”
The corners of Li Zheng’s mouth rose as he raised his gun and fired.
BOOM!
A loud gunshot rang out, and an energy bullet shot into the darkness.
Pfft.
There was a sound of something being shot.
“…”
Li Zheng paused for a moment before he tugged on his ear. “Ah…cough cough…damn, I’m deaf again, f*ck!”
Pfft! Pfft!
There were wings flapping everywhere, and black shadows surrounded the light.
The terror bats were alarmed and attacked in a group, flying around the lamp, but they did not dare to approach because of their fear of light.
“Damn, there are so many of them!”
Li Zheng couldn’t hear anything for now, but he could still see the dense black shadows which made him shudder.
“There are at least 50 of them!”
Squatting down and putting down the Desert Eagle, Li Zheng took out a bunch of snake grass needles from his capsule and threw them on the ground.
Then, he picked up the gun, set it to special shooting mode, and aimed.
“These things fly too fast. It’s useless to aim at the shadow. I can only rely on the detector.”
Although there were a lot of them, each of them was only as big as an owl. Even if they were all circling around the light, it was impossible to hit one randomly.
According to what he read, the terror bats were very smart and never stayed in one place for too long.
Therefore, this was a test of speed and patience.
Li Zheng was going all out with his reaction speed. He was going to shoot the moment the detector changed color.
The terror bats were trying their best to be patient. They wanted to wait for the lights to disappear before swarming forward to attack.
Unfortunately, their plan was destined to fail.
After all, the mysterious portable lamp had an unlimited supply of oil. As long as Li Zheng held it, it would stay lit forever.
Yes, the portable lamp only glowed when it was held by someone, so Li Zheng could only work with one hand.
He had to fire and reload with one hand.
Therefore, he had to be careful not to stab himself when he loaded the snake grass needles.
Whoosh!
The Desert Eagle opened fire, and the snake grass needles were shot out at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Pfft!
Another terror bat landed on the ground.
Li Zheng remained still. He turned around and locked his eyes on the detector. As soon as it appeared orange-red, he would shoot a snake grass needle at it.
Swish swish swish …
After activating the special shooting mode, the Desert Eagle’s frighteningly large recoil was almost non-existent. Li Zheng held the gun with one hand without any difficulty, and he could even fire rapidly.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
One by one, the terror bats were pierced by the snake grass needles while they were still flying. The Desert Eagle was definitely powerful.
The snake grass needle would pierce through any flesh.
The needle would explode when it hit a bone, allowing the poison to seep into the body.
Most of the terror bats would struggle for a while after landing on the ground before dying from the poison.
Swish swish swish …
[Special ammunition required.]
In the blink of an eye, all the snake grass needle shots were fired. Li Zheng carefully reloaded the gun with one hand while turning his head to observe his surroundings.
From the color of the lens, he realized that the round of shooting just now had taken down about six to eight terror bats.
“This hit rate…is quite high.”
Li Zheng was pleased with himself.
After all, he had never touched a real gun. It was not bad for him to have a hit rate of nearly 50%.
“Ka-da”
With a crisp sound, the magazine was reset, and Li Zheng raised his gun again.
“Wait…”
Just as he was about to shoot, he suddenly stopped. He checked to make sure that the Desert Eagle had not changed back to normal mode while he was replenishing his ammunition.
“Let’s go!”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
“Puff, puff, puff”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
“Pfft, pfft, pfft”
Li Zheng’s hearing finally recovered after another magazine was emptied.
Li Zheng glanced at the bottom left corner of the system interface while he was replenishing his snake grass bullets. “Exactly on time. It’s been 3 minutes again… But it looks like it’s almost time for dinner.”
He sped up, and it became easier for him to reload with one hand.
However, just as he raised his gun, something happened.
The group of terror bats suddenly scattered, and in a short while, there was no more movement.
“They flew away?”
Li Zheng was taken aback. He stood up and used the detector to scan the room. Other than a few metal doors that might lead to the next room, the lens remained clear.
He was stunned.
How come?
The monsters could escape from the matrix?
“Do these monsters have ID cards too? How did they leave this room?”
Li Zheng walked around warily with a lantern in his hand.
Finally, he came to an open metal door, and the detector showed that the room behind the door was dangerous.
Looking at the flashing red light on the ID card reader, Li Zheng fell into deep thought.
“If I remember correctly, when I swiped the card for the first few rooms, the reader was flashing blue.”
“So the monsters in the matrix may have more than one room as their territory, and they are allowed to return, so they can move back and forth between several rooms?”
It seemed like that’s the case.
Monsters were also living beings, so they were naturally afraid of death.
When he encountered an undefeatable target, the best plan was to escape.
Those who didn’t care about death and would attack senselessly were not monsters.
They were machines…
“If you’re scared, then so be it. It’ll save me the effort of killing all of you. I wonder if the meat of the monster killed by the snake grass needles can be eaten.”
Turning around, Li Zheng found the ground littered with terror bats’ corpses.
It was not much different from the image in the illustrations. It had a mini dragon head, but its body was like a bat with webbed wings on its back.
[Terror bat corpse (highly toxic). Can be decomposed.]
[The flesh and blood of a terror bat that has been poisoned to death cannoot be eaten. Perhaps it has other uses.]
“As expected, it can’t be eaten. Let’s break it down and see.”
[After decomposing the terror bat corpse (highly toxic), you obtained: venomous terror bat meat x2, venomous terror bat blood 50ml.]
“They are too small to yield many ingredients. Although they are not very dangerous, they are not easy to kill.”
Li Zheng looked at the terror bats’ corpses on the ground and began to dissect them.
“I was only able to ensure my own safety by using the lantern I picked up in the previous room. If it was someone else who didn’t have any lighting equipment, they would have been torn to pieces by more than 50 terror bats. ”
Li Zheng didn’t relax after the first battle. He continued to do his post-battle analysis.
The terror bats’ corpses were scattered all over the place. Soon, Li Zheng had found and dissected all of them.
“There are a total of 16 terror bats. The first shot was a headshot. The rest of the terror bats are more or less poisonous, and their broken down meat can’t be eaten.”
“But…”
Li Zheng took out a few items from his capsule.
A piece of fresh meat the size of a palm, a small bottle of purple liquid, and a round object the size of a pigeon’s egg.
[Fresh terror bat meat. Black-iron grade. Ingredient.]
[The texture is dry and chewy. Low nutritional value.]
[Fresh terror bat blood. Black-iron grade. Material.]
[Stinky and smelly, it might be useful in crafting.]
[Direct consumption will slightly hydrate the body, but it can cause diarrhea.]
[Level one gene core. Black-iron grade. Material.]
[There’s a chance to obtain it from decomposing black-iron grade elite-level monsters. It can be used to upgrade genetically-modified beasts to the elite level.]
“There’s a new item!”
