Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1016 718: Enemy Attack

"If you can obtain the Defeat Contract, I hope you can find a way to study its activation principle and master it."

The terminal sent another message, and Li Zheng took out the Inscription Card, frowning deeply, "What do you want to do with this thing that controls people's life and death?"

Terminal: "The wilderness people are unruly, using the Defeat Contract as a restriction can allow them to enter the Outer City."

"And then?" Li Zheng pursued, "When war bursts out, you'll coerce them to go out as cannon fodder?"

"Cannon fodder?" The terminal replied, "There's plenty of cannon fodder; why would I go to great lengths to bring the wilderness people in as cannon fodder?"

"Plenty of cannon fodder?" Li Zheng asked, "Since they're not for cannon fodder, what's your intention for bringing the wilderness people into the Outer City?"

Terminal: "Besides being rich in minerals, the wilderness is relatively scarce in other resources. Entering the Outer City will make life more comfortable than before."

"Most first-generation wilderness people are entangled with Blood Qi, definitely unable to enter the Outer City, but their descendants should have the opportunity. The Defeat Contract adds insurance to these people to prevent anyone with ill intentions from sneaking in."

"If it weren't for this point, do you think your predecessors would agree to such a blatantly troublesome agreement with the Destruction Race?"

Li Zheng: "So from the beginning, your target was the Destruction Race's Defeat Contract. For other races, excluding those chieftains entangled with Blood Qi, it's not difficult for them to enter the Outer City, right?"

Terminal: "That's right; besides the Destruction Race, other people are secondary issues. Even if you're not married to them, I can make the decision to let them in. After all, they solved an academic problem for the Outer City, which is already a significant contribution."

Li Zheng's face turned dark, "Then why did you previously ask me to bring the three races into the Outer City under the guise of marriage?"

"Because you came across the three races first," the terminal said, "As mentioned, the three races are secondary, and also an excuse to let the Destruction Race accept the agreement terms. If the other three races easily enter, how could you propose to let the Destruction Race's Saintess marry you?"

"???" Li Zheng was baffled, "Isn't obtaining the Destruction Race's Defeat Contract enough? Why do we need the Saintess to marry me?"

"Because she's beautiful," the terminal said matter-of-factly, "Look at my current state; can I marry?"

Clearly not.

"Since I've never had a partner all my life, I transferred these emotional expectations onto you, so of course, I'm trying my best to find you some wives..." The terminal sent half of this message, then regretted saying too much, "Oops, I let it slip."

Li Zheng clenched his fist, "So it's you secretly orchestrating!"

The terminal started to act shamelessly, "In any case, sending someone entangled with Blood Qi into the Outer City is the Destruction Race's condition. You marrying the Destruction Saintess is our condition; whether you fulfill it is up to you. But one point must be fulfilled: the Destruction Saintess can't enter the Outer City unless she turns over the Defeat Contract."

Li Zheng thought for a moment, "But she's very resistant to offering the Defeat Contract to me..."

Terminal: "That's none of my business; it's up to you to figure that out. It's unrelated to me."

Then the terminal fell silent, and Li Zheng's messages went unanswered.

Li Zheng pondered seriously for a while; the terminal just wants the Defeat Contract, not necessarily...

No! It's inevitable!

Mudala herself is deeply entangled with Blood Qi, and she's inherently restricted, so as long as she wants to follow ancestral teachings and enter the Outer City, she must use the Defeat Contract on herself.

"Mudala, although I really want to help you, the Defeat Contract is a necessary condition," Li Zheng said sincerely, "If you insist on refusing, I can only apologize, and this counts as the Destruction Race unilaterally breaching the contract, for which I can bear no responsibility."

Saying so, he took out his Teleportation Disc for returning to the city, waiting for Mudala's final decision.

Mirel glanced at the two, persuading, "Li Zheng is absolutely reliable. Even if that contract might threaten you, I guarantee he will never use it coercively, you can rest assured."

Feng Yue, being an outsider, naturally couldn't intervene in this matter, so he also took out his Teleportation Disc, ready to leave with Li Zheng once it was confirmed he was going back to the city.

"This..." Mudala was silent, her face showing no signs of wavering.

Li Zheng shook his head in disappointment, apparently the other party was not planning to hand over the Defeat Contract, which was none of his business then. He had done all he could, and if he couldn't help the other side, it wasn't his fault.

"Mirel, let's go..."

Boom!

Just as he called on Mirel and was about to leave, suddenly a thunderous explosion echoed from afar.

Everyone on the scene changed countenance, turning their heads towards the direction of the sound.

Only to see a mushroom cloud several kilometers away, wrenching a piece of the vegetation there; the impact wave from the mushroom cloud toppled a large number of plants, creating a chaotic scene.

Seeing the meticulously cared plants being destroyed in an instant, Mudala was furiously enraged, soaring up with her dress billowing, she coldly questioned, "Who dares to make trouble at my place!?"

Whoosh!

The response was not an answer, but a fiery red metallic spear shooting straight towards Mudala's heart from within the mushroom cloud.

The spear was incredibly fast, rapidly covering dozens of kilometers, its fierce momentum even breaking the air into a sonic boom!

"Gun come!"

Li Zheng raised his hand to summon the Black Dragon Spear, leapt up, gripping the spear with both hands and forcefully slashed down, "Get out of here!"

Boom!

The tiger's mouth throbbed with pain; the Black Dragon Spear arrived first, knocking the spear away before it could hit Mudala.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The fiery spear spun and flew in the distance, hovered in the air for a while, then under an attraction, spiraled back towards the direction of the mushroom cloud.

Clap!

A furry big hand reached out from the mushroom cloud, accurately catching the spear.

Subsequently, an ape warrior with pitch-black fur emerged from the mushroom cloud, the intense flames failing to singe a single one of its hairs.

The ape warrior's gaze was icy, devoid of emotional fluctuation, resembling a lifeless machine.

Its gaze crossed several kilometers, meeting Li Zheng's two-person stare.

Li Zheng saw the corner of its mouth curl up, exposing terrifying jagged teeth, seeming to say something before bending its legs slightly, propelling itself skyward like a cannonball, charging towards them with amazing speed.

Feeling the opponent's violent murderous intent, Li Zheng's eyes turned somber, drawing spiritual power from the Dark Realm, poised with his spear to shield Mudala: "Step back; it's coming for me."

[Familiar aura!]

[You should know which organization this guy's target is related to.]
