Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

In Block 950, Nightfall stood guard in front of the teleportation portal, scrutinizing each passerby with a critical eye.

Everyone whose gaze was fixed on by him felt an intense pressure, their hearts tightened, and they had no choice but to quicken their pace to leave.

Just like before, not everyone can use the portal to enter or leave throughout the day, and when someone does appear, it's usually because they're going to another district to run errands.

As a portal receptionist in Block 950, Ye Lan's job is easy; she can stand around daydreaming without being penalized for dereliction of duty.

But he remained dedicated to his duty, screening every passerby to prevent any infected individuals from being mixed in.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he turned his head to look to the side.

Yakumo, dressed in disguise, came from there.

As she approached, Ye Lan asked, "How is it?"

Yakumo shook his head sadly: "He's still not awake."

Hishimi was a source of great anxiety for both of them. Ever since they brought her back from the wilderness, she had been in a coma, and no matter how hard the doctors tried, her condition did not improve.

The doctor suggested some extreme treatments to ensure she would wake up, but she would be a completely different person, no longer the same Hisa, and would no longer have Hisa's memories.

Yakumo refused; what she wanted to save was her younger sister Hisaya, not a stranger's soul.

Ye Lan said in a deep voice, "Perhaps we can give it a try..."

"no!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yakumo forcefully interrupted Yelan: "I will absolutely not try any uncertain treatment plan before I am certain that I can cure her!"

"But……"

"No buts!"

"All right……"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Ye Lan had no choice but to stop talking and turn back to look at the portal.

Suddenly his expression changed, and the inside of the portal began to rotate, a phenomenon that only occurs when someone arrives through the portal.

"Someone's coming," Yelan reminded Yakumo.

The two stepped forward at the same time, ready to greet the guests.

However, the figure that emerged from the portal made them freeze instantly, and a terrifying memory flooded their minds.

"Although it's only been a few months, I still want to say, it's been a long time, Yakumo and Yoran." Li Zheng greeted the two with a smile.

After months of arduous training, some people believe they have become much stronger, and can now challenge opponents they couldn't defeat before.

But as it stands now, the Joker is still the Joker, even if he gets stronger.

Don't get into a conflict with them, otherwise the only way you can threaten them is to be fried into mincemeat!

Old Pu suddenly popped up a notification, and Li Zheng's eyes twitched after reading it.

Yakumo and Yoran seem to be much stronger than he imagined, and they are only among the top ten in the 950 District's combat strength ranking.

"Why are you here again?" Yakumo recalled the entire neighborhood worship that Li Zheng had caused back then, and his tone immediately became unfriendly: "You failed to carry out your schemes elsewhere, so you've come back to cause trouble again?"

Since that incident, Yakumo seems to have a deep-seated grudge against Li Zheng, and she doesn't believe him no matter how he explains.

Li Zheng smiled wryly and said, "It's been several months. Have you heard of any major incidents in other neighborhoods?" If he really had sneaked in from the wilderness to cause trouble, a few months would have been enough for him to make quite a fuss, right?

"What do you mean, 'no'?" Yakumo sneered. "A swarm of vermin suddenly appeared in Block 4. You dare say that wasn't your doing?"

More than a month has passed since the Blood-Patterned Black Dragon and the other two races entered the outer city. The news has spread throughout the entire outer city, and many residents who are unaware of the truth are deeply worried about it. They believe that such an unprecedented event as the entire Wilderness people entering the outer city must have a negative impact.

“It was my doing, but I was just helping my daughter bring her people into the outer city. There were no conspiracies behind it that you’re imagining,” Li Zheng tried to explain.

"Your daughter?" Yakumo said coldly, "Are you referring to that young blood-striped black dragon that followed you? I knew she was with you for some ulterior motive!"

Ye Lan frowned upon hearing this and snapped, "Yakumo, shut up!"

He knew that if he didn't stop him, who knew what other nasty things Yakumo might say next.

After all, they could all see that the bloodline of the young blood-patterned black dragon was not pure.

Yakumo turned his head to look at Yelan, then shut his mouth.

Seeing that Li Zheng's expression had turned somewhat unpleasant, Ye Lan stepped forward and asked, "What brings you here this time?"

"Looking for someone," Li Zheng replied calmly, then led the group behind him toward Kanger's botanical garden.

Yakumo stared at them the whole time.

Li Zhengze didn't want to get entangled with her any longer. Once he found a way to cure Hisa, the favor that Yakumo had done in helping him would be over, and the two would have no further dealings with each other.

If Yakumo dares to speak disrespectfully to him again at that time, Li Zheng wouldn't mind sending out a few more "King's Descent" attacks to teach them a lesson.

As Miriel passed by Yakumo, a ruthless glint appeared in her eyes as she glared at her.

Even though this woman had helped them before, Miriel couldn't show any kindness towards Li Zheng for daring to treat him like this.

Mudara went even further, standing directly in front of Yakumo and letting out a cold snort.

She didn't know why she did it, but instinct made her provoke Yakumo in this way.

Feng Yue, adhering to the principle of "the less trouble, the better," hurriedly passed by the two.

After the four had walked away, Ye Lan spoke in a deep voice: "The Luo Turtle Clan, the Abyss Succubus Clan, the Destruction Clan, the Blood-Patterned Black Dragon Clan, the Blood Clan, the Pain Clan... What exactly does this Water Blue Star person want to do by gathering so many races?"

Moreover, apart from the Luo Gui tribe, the rest were all wild races, all of them ruthless and vicious.

The gathering of these people in the outer city is definitely not a good sign!

“And then there’s the Wisteria Clan and those three tiger-men brothers,” Yakumo continued. “He’s definitely brewing a huge conspiracy!”

Ye Lan frowned: "Don't make things up without evidence. Presumption of innocence applies."

"Presumption of innocence?" Yakumo scoffed. "His collusion with so many wild tribes is the strongest evidence!"

“But he didn’t do anything to harm the outer city, so we can’t convict him based on this evidence for now.” Ye Lan sighed. “You’re really paranoid. With his mental strength, do you think he would need to do something that would damage someone else’s mental consciousness?”

Although the outer city's limited resources prevented in-depth research into mental abilities, doctors still diagnosed it as a mental disorder, related to changes in mental consciousness.

Destroying someone's mental consciousness requires a very high level of mental strength from the person making the move; at least Yakumo and Yoran could not do that.

So when Li Zheng, a guy with an unusually strong mental power, appeared in front of Yakumo, she subconsciously placed him in an adversary position.

Because with Li Zheng's mental strength, once he unleashes his full power, he can easily destroy the consciousness of everyone in the entire block!
