Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1130 - 830: Spring Rain Pirates

"Li Zheng, those people are gone!"

After Xiahou Fei returned, he didn’t see the figures of those maniacs, and he was pacing around anxiously, his mind full of thoughts about where those maniacs could have gone.

Li Zheng’s face was pale; he impatiently waved his hand forcefully, saying, "What does it have to do with me if they’re gone? I’m not their parent, do I have to protect them at all times for their safety?"

He had just escaped from the depths of the Sin Domain upon entering the Dao state, but after gaining control of his body, his mind felt muddled, and many thoughts became chaotic and impossible to sort through once again.

Xiahou Fei was pacing in circles, muttering incessantly, "They disappeared, how could they disappear?"

Realizing that the two of them were not in the right state, Li Zheng pulled Xiahou Fei along, shouting, "Let’s go! Leave the Sloth Sin Domain and never come back!"

Xiahou Fei appeared bewildered, seemingly unable to comprehend Li Zheng’s words, with an expression of confusion.

Li Zheng was struggling against the muddled state of his brain, mustering all his strength to lead Xiahou Fei back to the location of the Sin Domain entrance.

Luckily, not long ago, he had expanded his genetic force manifold through Yan Jinjin’s research, otherwise he wouldn’t have had the stamina to make it back to the Golden Light Zone.

"They disappeared... I brought food back, how could they be gone?" Xiahou Fei was completely bewildered, and once Li Zheng let go of him, he actually started to run back toward the Golden Light Zone.

Li Zheng followed and delivered a slap while shouting, "Snap out of it!"

Slap slap slap~

After several hundred slaps, Xiahou Fei’s mind finally found a semblance of clarity.

"Li Zheng... Why did you hit me?"

"You’re from the Wilderness, I don’t know your background, just go back to the Wilderness, don’t come to the Sloth Sin Domain again!" Li Zheng said, forcing himself to finish, then turned and rushed into the Sin Domain entrance, teleporting back to Street Four in the Outer City.

The moment he exited the Sloth Sin Domain, Li Zheng’s sluggish brain suddenly kicked into high gear, causing streams of blood to spur from his nostrils.

"The Sin Domain, truly terrifying!" Li Zheng collapsed on the ground, wiping away the nosebleed, recalling his recent state with growing fear: "Even my spiritual power couldn’t withstand it. The emotion storm is indeed not as simple as imagined!"

[I can see again! I can see again!]

Old Pu flashed joyful text, repeatedly exclaiming that he finally saw the light of day again.

Lu Li happened to be passing by, stopped and stared for a while, looking undecided: "Li Zheng?"

"It’s me." Li Zheng shrugged off the concealing clothing, feeling weary.

Lu Li was shocked: "You’re injured?"

He went over to help Li Zheng up, his body seemingly boneless and weak.

Lu Li was even more surprised: "Who could have injured you like this?"

In the minds of all Water Blue Star people, Li Zheng was synonymous with invincibility. Ever since hearing of Li Zheng’s name, he had never lost, nor had anyone defeated him.

Not to mention such a state as now, like a defeated dog fleeing.

"My mind is very messy right now." Li Zheng said weakly: "Send me back, then set a warning here that no one should go to the Sloth Sin Domain!"

The Sloth Sin Domain doesn’t sound like a dangerous place.

But having experienced it, Li Zheng realized it might be the most dangerous of all Sin Domains.

Because here, everything is uncontrollable, even the source causing the formation of the Sloth Sin Domain, the tentacle-like entity itself, couldn’t resist the influence of the Sloth Sin Domain.

Li Zheng speculates that the emotion of sloth plays a crucial role among the seven negative emotions, far more complex than ordinary people perceive it to be.

After Lu Li sent him back, Li Zheng rested for nearly a day before finally recovering.

Whether it was the frequent aftereffects of entering the Dao state, or the influence of the Fallen Sin Domain, Li Zheng always felt a slight headache, difficult to recover.

In that day, Li Zheng thought a lot about the emotion storm and the Sin Domain, and the words spoken by that will, the more he thought, the more things felt off.

Upon recovering sufficiently, he immediately contacted the terminal and entered the Central Hub.

"You’ve been contacting me quite frequently lately." The terminal was a bit displeased with Li Zheng repeatedly interrupting its experiments: "What happened this time?"

Li Zheng asked directly: "Do you know what’s the deal with the Sloth Sin Domain?"

"Sloth Sin Domain?"

The terminal paused: "Why did you go there? Didn’t anyone tell you the Sloth Sin Domain is different from other Sin Domains, extremely dangerous?"

Li Zheng smiled wryly: "I’m your clone, if even you didn’t tell me I shouldn’t go to the Sloth Sin Domain, should I expect others to inform me?"

"Wait a moment." The face displayed on the terminal turned stern: "Let me check who received you at the time, why didn’t they inform you of such important common knowledge?"

"Is this common knowledge supposed to be given to all new residents of the Outer City?" Li Zheng was surprised for a moment, feeling it’s his misfortune because of Yakumo?

"Yakumo and Yelan?" The terminal quickly queried some information, saying coldly: "Indeed, it’s those Night Rabbit Tribe!"

Li Zheng felt the terminal’s tone was somewhat problematic: "Night Rabbit Tribe... what about them?"

"What about them?" The terminal sneered: "Do you know Spring Rain?"

Spring Rain?

The name sounded familiar.

Li Zheng thought carefully: "Isn’t that the magic crystal store set up on various streets?"

Spring Rain Magic Crystal Store.

Li Zheng remembered it clearly.

"Spring Rain’s main business in the Outer City is indeed the magic crystal store." The terminal said: "But before that, Spring Rain actually had another identity; they were a group of cosmic pirates! Specializing in plundering materials from various planets, trafficking among races of planets that have begun cosmic travel, even buying and selling populations!"

"Hmm... Pirates?" Li Zheng suddenly recalled seeing similar information somewhere, but for the moment couldn’t pinpoint where he had seen it.

"Yes, Spring Rain Pirates, mainly composed of Night Rabbit Tribe members." The terminal explained: "They were absorbed into the Matrix during a transaction with another race, when I hadn’t yet noted their distinctiveness, until later..."

"Later what?"

"Later, after their promotion to the Outer City and Wilderness, they heavily invested in scientific research projects, enslaving a large number of different races to work for them." The terminal’s expression grew complex: "But we must admit... The period they remained was the fastest scientific progress era in the Matrix’s history."

"They developed the power core from first to tenth generation!"

"They discovered the purification method for twisted magic crystals!"

"Many other useful scientific inventions also originated from Spring Rain!"

"I overlooked things to ensure those research projects wouldn’t be disrupted, allowing them to develop freely."

"I even considered exempting them from the final battle."

"But the truth was, after I contacted Spring Rain’s leader, they insisted on returning to the cosmos."

"I advised them, warned them that the cosmos would eventually fall, and the final battle wasn’t something that could be easily surpassed."

"But... they surprised me."

"Spring Rain Pirates were the Matrix’s only racial force to escape the Matrix through the Sin Domain!"

"Uh..." Li Zheng responded: "They possibly haven’t truly escaped."
