Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 616 The Death of Yan Guang
"Dr. Xiao, Yueyue, she..."

Li Chun sat on the little spider's back, her face full of worry.

After a few days apart, Little Spider's crystal-like appearance has turned fiery red, and its strength has successfully advanced from the Diamond rank to the Extraordinary rank, about to break through to the Star Glory rank.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't listened to her yesterday and hadn't used that jumping device, she wouldn't have been in this situation."

The young girl felt very guilty. Yesterday, Zhang Yue suggested that she leave Channel 995 first. After refusing several times, she couldn't win the argument with Zhang Yue and left ahead of time.

If she had insisted on not accepting it back then, Zhang Yue wouldn't be in danger on Channel 995 today.

Xiao Siyuan wiped his hands and came out of the capsule residence. He first apologized to the two players with resolute faces: "I'm sorry that this happened so suddenly and has slowed down your exploration progress."

“It’s alright.” One of them said, “Human life is at stake. Nothing is more important than saving lives. A little delay is nothing.”

Another person nodded in agreement: "Protecting the lives and safety of the people is our responsibility. If we don't encounter such a situation, we can only say that we are powerless to do anything about it, but if we do encounter it, we absolutely cannot sit idly by!"

These two are soldiers from the Kunlun Legion, assigned by Liu Qishao to act alongside Xiao Siyuan and others.

The purpose was not to protect them, but to provide support in case of attacks from other legions.

Both of them are quite strong, with diamond-level ratings. If given some time to upgrade their equipment or consume some substances that enhance their physique, breaking through to the extraordinary level shouldn't be too difficult.

Looking at the two of them, Xiao Siyuan felt as if he were seeing the company commander from back then, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Lin Fengjiao emerged from the capsule residence, her body still wrapped in bandages, and walked behind Xiao Siyuan: "Dr. Xiao, I've cleaned her up."

"Mm." Xiao Siyuan nodded.

Zhang Yue cut open the neck, damaging the artery, causing a large amount of blood to gush out, soaking her clothes.

Xiao Siyuan was capable of cleaning up the bloodstains himself.

Although doctors are supposed to have the heart of a parent, it is still necessary to take necessary precautions to avoid suspicion.

When performing surgery, one must be completely focused and single-minded, unable to consider so many other things.

Now that the surgery was over, the finishing touches were naturally left to Lin Fengjiao, the woman.

Seeing that Li Chun was almost crying, Xiao Siyuan told her about Zhang Yue's situation: "She really hurt herself. With one cut, half of her neck was cut open, and everything that could be cut was cut off. If it weren't for the abundance of medical equipment in the matrix, she wouldn't have lasted three minutes in the past."

Hearing him say that, Li Chun's hope rose: "So Yueyue is alright, right?"

"Ugh……"

Xiao Siyuan sighed, his face somber: "I've done everything I can, but her injuries are too severe, and I'm not sure if she can pull through."

Even if she survives, she will suffer long-term effects, at the very least losing her ability to speak.

"Moreover, she had been poisoned before she committed suicide. Although this kind of poison is not difficult to cure, it took a long time. In addition, she had a period of intense fighting, and the toxins entered her heart through her blood, which had serious consequences."

"Fortunately, it hasn't entered the brain yet, so there's no danger to its life. I mean, in terms of poisoning alone, there's no danger to its life."

Li Chun was heartbroken and couldn't help but shed tears: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have accepted her jump device."

Little Spider is quite strong; if she were there, others might not be able to defeat her.

"It's not your fault, don't overthink it," Xiao Siyuan advised. "It's just that she was unlucky and happened to run into two mud-covered players on the last day."

Didn't you, Li Zheng, go to avenge her? Judging by the time, it should be almost over.

No sooner had he finished speaking than three figures—two adults and one child—appeared not far from him.

It was Li Zheng, Zhan Zhouzhou, and Miriel.

"Look, he's back, isn't he?" Xiao Siyuan pointed in the direction of Li Zheng, and frowned slightly when he saw what Li Zheng was carrying.

"Ah!" Li Chun exclaimed in surprise when she saw what Li Zheng was carrying: "Isn't that a human head?"

Seeing Li Zheng approach, Xiao Siyuan complained, "Why did you bring back two heads?"

Moreover, it was the heads of two mud-covered players, making the place a mess.

Li Zheng tossed the two severed heads aside, and they rolled around a few times, revealing two faces contorted in pain, clearly indicating that they had suffered inhuman torture before their deaths.

He said coldly, "If Zhang Yue survives, these two heads will be a celebration of her survival. If she doesn't make it, they'll be sacrifices to comfort her soul in heaven." "Okay, but they look a bit nauseating." Xiao Siyuan spat on the heads, his disgust evident.

"I was in a hurry when I left and didn't get a chance to ask clearly." Li Zheng looked at the two Kunlun warriors and asked, "What's the situation now? Tell me properly."

When asked about this, Xiao Siyuan remained silent for a while before speaking: "Yan Guang is dead."

"what?"

Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat: "Wasn't she with Feng Shan?"

"You were killed while protecting Fengshan," Xiao Siyuan sighed. "Not two days after you left, rumors suddenly appeared on the world channel that you were missing and suspected to be dead."

At first we didn’t take it seriously, but as time went on, the Qidian Legion did not come forward to refute the rumors, which instead encouraged some people’s thoughts.

On the third night, when everyone had used up their exploration attempts and were resting, the Creation Legion suddenly dispatched more than thirty experts who, having somehow learned of Fengshan's whereabouts, launched a night attack on them.

Fengshan held out with Yan Guang for less than two minutes. By the time we arrived, Yan Guang's robotic arm had exploded into pieces and lay at Fengshan's feet.

Although the thirty-odd people who came from the Creation Realm were wiped out on the spot, Yan Guang...

"Ugh……"

Xiao Siyuan sighed again: "Fengshan has gone crazy because of this. We haven't been able to contact him for the past few days. We don't know where he is or what he's doing."

Even when Yu Xiaoyu sends him messages, he doesn't reply.

"We've only been gone for less than a week, and things have gotten this bad?" Li Zheng clenched his fist. "Besides Yan Guang, how many other members of the Qidian Legion have been killed?"

“One hundred and thirty-eight people,” Xiao Siyuan reported an exact number. “Among them, twelve girls were rescued by us. Those Japanese devils originally wanted to capture them alive, breaking all four of their limbs, their purpose was…”

Of the twelve people rescued, three committed suicide afterward.

"Didn't I leave the space pirates to you?" Li Zheng asked, "How come there are still so many damages?"

Unlike ordinary jumping devices, space pirates' devices are instantaneous in use and do not require charging or charging to save time.

Logically speaking, with space pirates at his disposal, two minutes should be enough to do a lot of things.

At the very least, Yan Guang shouldn't have been harmed.

“We originally wanted to study the space pirates and replicate their blueprints, so we temporarily stored the space pirates with Ye Kai,” Xiao Siyuan explained. “On the night of the incident, Genesis launched a sneak attack while most people were resting, which prevented us from contacting Ye Kai immediately.”

In the following days, Ye Kai felt very guilty and didn't dare to sleep, fearing that something might happen here and he wouldn't be able to make it in time.

According to Ye Yuan, her brother was in very poor mental condition and often spaced out.

Players cannot receive any information while asleep, so it's normal that they can't contact Ye Kai.

Li Zheng didn't blame them. Whether it was researching space pirates, trying to replicate them, or not being able to contact Ye Kai when the incident happened, none of them were at fault.

The mud-covered country is full of schemes, but the unprepared have plenty of ways to succeed.

"Besides Genesis, which other legions participated in the attack on Qidian?" Li Zheng took a deep breath. Genesis alone would never dare to take action; there must be an alliance behind it.

“Takamagahara in the Muddy Country, the Nth Room and New Century in the Thieves Country, the Throne of the Gods in Northern Europe, and the Amazon War God in South America.” Xiao Siyuan listed them one by one.

"Amazonian War Gods?" Li Zheng frowned. Where did this small legion come from? He didn't recognize it. How did they get involved?

“A top-twenty legion, which is a small alliance with the Throne of Gods,” Xiao Siyuan explained.

"understood."

With all six legions mobilized, it's no wonder that even Kunlun and Jiutian had to avoid their sharp edge and could only accelerate the production of leap devices, leading the entire Qidian Legion to take cover.

"I understand." After listening quietly, Li Zheng said to Xiao Siyuan, "Send me all the intelligence information of the six legions via private message. You don't need to worry about the rest."

Li Zheng regretted his past leniency. If he had known things would turn out this way, he should have risked becoming a red name (indicating a criminal gang) to wipe out all the forces of these legions!
But it's not too late.

The terminal has granted him exemption privileges, and during the time he stays here, no matter how many white-named players he kills, his kill count will not increase.
