Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1126 - 826: Meat!

"Li Zheng, aren’t we going to save those people?"

Xiahou Fei pointed at the figures lying on the ground behind them, feeling sympathetic.

"Save? How can we save them?" Li Zheng said helplessly. "You’ve been through degradation yourself, you know what one becomes in that situation. Do you think there’s any need to save them?"

Perhaps killing them now is even more worthwhile than saving them.

Xiahou Fei nodded. "I understand."

It’s like being overwhelmed with anger and lust, not only unable to control oneself but also ignoring others’ advice.

Moreover, the palace in the Spiritual Realm can only be escaped through one’s own will; outside interference is useless.

"Instead of thinking about those unnecessary things, let’s go and see the opposite side of the Golden Light Zone." Li Zheng stepped forward as he spoke. "This is my fifth entry into the Seven Great Sin Domains, but the Sloth Sin Domain is completely different from the previous four, giving me a foreboding feeling."

Unlike the other Sin Domains, where twisted creatures break through into the Golden Light Zone only during past Burst periods, the Sloth Sin Domain has broken this rule.

This situation made Li Zheng realize his understanding of the Sin Domains was too shallow.

He’s even wondering if the twisted creatures in those other Sin Domains aren’t unable to break through into the Golden Light Zone, but rather are constrained to its perimeter.

Just like sheep need the restraint of shepherd dogs, and occasionally some sheep grow sharp teeth and claws, only to be swept away when the flock matures?

Xiahou Fei followed Li Zheng, and after several hours, the two arrived on the opposite side of the Golden Light Zone.

Upon reaching here, Li Zheng saw a small group of people who had successfully crossed the previous area, but most of them looked weak, seemingly close to death.

"Newcomers again?"

Someone saw Li Zheng and Xiahou Fei and immediately swarmed around them. "Rookies, got any food? Quick, give me food, I’ll trade a Twisted Magic Crystal for it!"

"And me, I’ll trade food with you too!"

"Don’t push, don’t push, damn it, whoever pushes me again, I’ll eat them first!"

The scene gradually became chaotic. Li Zheng frowned, smelling traces of degradation from these people.

"Have you been corrupted by the twist?"

These people, just like Xiahou Fei not long ago, entered the Golden Light Zone in a corrupted state, relying on the Celestial Dragon Race’s Battle Intent Domain to suppress the palace in their Spiritual Realm, keeping the corruption at a steady level.

"How many who came here haven’t been corrupted?" Someone gasped, with difficulty speaking. "We can’t go back, just barely surviving here. Boy, got any food? Give me some! I’m starving!"

The skeletal hand stretched toward Li Zheng, revealing the person had gnawed their own hand clean to stave off hunger!

"I... I have some."

Li Zheng wanted to stop it, but Xiahou Fei had already said it.

Sure enough.

Upon hearing this, the people crazily swarmed around Xiahou Fei, their malicious words deepening, as if they would turn him into food if he didn’t hand over some.

"Don’t snatch, don’t snatch!" Xiahou Fei took out supplies from his personal space, but before he could distribute them, they were snatched and gobbled up raw.

"Delicious! Delicious!"

"Two months! I’ve been starving for two months, finally tasting fresh meat again!"

"More! I want more meat!"

"Kid, give me the meat, or I’ll eat yours!"

Xiahou Fei kept pulling out various meat, vegetables, fruits, and those hungry people had forgotten their earlier trade proposals.

They just wanted to fill their stomachs now!

Li Zheng frowned at the scene, realizing these people were already lost.

Even if they, like Xiahou Fei, escaped the corruption, encountering domains like pride, gluttony, wrath, greed, envy, it would likely transform them into twisted creatures instantly.

Since hunger had already tormented their hearts full of various negative emotions, like a barrel of gasoline, needing only a small spark to ignite explosively.

The food Xiahou Fei brought was ultimately finite, quickly emptied by requests, and hungry-eyed people started eyeing Xiahou Fei’s body.

Some turned to Li Zheng, trying to get something to eat from him.

"Kid, quickly hand over the meat!"

"Otherwise, we’ll throw you outside the Golden Light Zone, kill you for meat!"

"Hurry! Give me meat! Give me meat!!"

Listening to these malicious words, Li Zheng felt a wave of disgust. "The Golden Light Zone left by the Celestial Dragon Race is ultimately too rigid, even protecting scum like you."

In the Golden Light Zone, self-slaughter is forbidden, or the collective will of the Celestial Dragons would expel offenders outside.

But not being able to kill doesn’t mean they can’t make a move. As long as they control someone and toss them out, the Celestial Dragons won’t interfere.

Someone ungratefully surrounded Xiahou Fei, seeing his limited strength, intending to control him together, bringing him outside to kill for his body as food.

Li Zheng raised his hand to hold the Black Dragon Spear, shouting angrily, "Get lost or die!"

The Disguise Suit fluttered automatically, rustling fiercely.

The overwhelming killing intent suppressed the mad people for a brief moment, after which they sneered relentlessly, "You can’t kill in the Celestial Dragon’s domain, who are you trying to scare?"

"Catch him, torture him to death, I want his meat!"

"I can smell the meat fragrance from him, such a strong flesh body, it must be chewy and filling!"

"Let’s go, I want his hands!"

"I want one of his legs!"

"I can’t hold back, I’m starving!"

A crowd frenziedly lunged, completely ignoring Li Zheng’s warning and the light-flowing Black Dragon Spear.

Li Zheng’s form blurred, creating nine figures, singing the Celestial Dragon’s battle anthem.

The stirring melody resonated in the Golden Light Zone, the long-dead Celestial Dragon bodies around him lit up, echoing his war intent.

"What do you plan to do?"

"You’ll be expelled by the Celestial Dragons for killing someone!"

"Don’t think resonating with the Celestial Dragons will save you!"

"Submit and let us eat you!"

The crazed figures lunged at each Li Zheng shadow, no one capturing the true presence.

Li Zheng hummed the battle song, splitting into more forms, his true self weaving between them.

Until a layer of golden light spread from the air onto him, dyeing him golden yellow, he thrust his spear, piercing through one of the charging lunatics with a squelch.

"No!"

"He’s going to be expelled by the Celestial Dragons!"

"My meat! My meat was nearly mine!"

The other maddened ones wailed, viewing Li Zheng’s biggest loss as depriving them of meat.
