Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 745 Newborn

The doctor activated the mechanism, and the ground floor of the clinic subsided, slowly sinking underground.

This place is almost unchanged from before.

Li Zheng followed the doctor and walked the same route they had taken before.

"There has been no progress in the past two months. The patients are still the same as before you left."

As they approached the door of the mother's hospital room, the doctor didn't forget to mention, "By the way, remember to pay the medical bills. The longer it drags on, the higher the bills will be. The bills have increased by another two hundred red crystals. Remember to inform your men."

This amount of medical expenses was nothing to Li Zheng, but he had no intention of paying for Kota and the others' medical expenses. This was Kota's family matter, and if the three brothers really couldn't raise the money, they would ask him for help.

Before that, he hoped that Kota and his team could work hard to pay off their debts.

Li Zheng is their boss, not a nanny or a charity. The contributions Kota and the others have made to him are not enough to make Li Zheng voluntarily spend this money.

"I'll tell them." Li Zheng didn't look around much. He didn't hear any movement in the ward, which meant that Kota and the others' mother still hadn't 'woke up'.

Soon, the doctor led them to Hisa's ward. He stopped and said, "I know you actually want to see her, but don't tell Yakumo and Yoran about this. They have a deep prejudice against you. If they find out that you have seen Hisa, given Yakumo's impulsive nature, they will inevitably cause trouble."

Li Zheng glanced at the doctor again, surprised that this android was more human than the doctor himself: "Thank you, could you please open the door so I can take a closer look?"

Separated by a metal door, Li Zheng worried that his subsequent investigation results might be inaccurate.

"No."

The doctor refused him, shaking his head and saying, "The Yato clan has a very keen sense of smell. Your scent is only outside, so I can make up an excuse for you. But if you appear in the ward and Yakumo notices you, she will definitely cause trouble."

Keen sense of smell...

Li Zheng thought to himself, "Does this Yato clan have a dog's nose or something?"

However, since all races are different, and each race has some strange abilities, he had long been used to it.

Compared to the Thousand Eyes Clan's bizarre abilities, the Yato Clan's only ability to sense smell seems much more normal.

He didn't want to put the doctor in a difficult position, so since they couldn't get in, he could only probe from the outside through a door.

Li Zheng released his mental energy, which passed through the door and walls and went directly into Jiu Mi's mind. As expected, Li Zheng did not encounter any mental defenses. Moreover, Jiu Mi's mind was empty and void, and even his mental world no longer existed.

"The disappearance of the spiritual world—was it taken away along with the spiritual body by the Heavenly Will Organization, or was it destroyed when the spiritual body was taken away?" Li Zheng frowned.

The loss of soul was more serious than he had anticipated. If it were merely a matter of the spirit being violently scattered, he could still find a way to help it reunite.

But now even the spiritual world and the spiritual body no longer exist, and there is no goal for them to reunite.

As the saying goes, even a clever cook can't cook without rice, and Li Zheng was somewhat at a loss.

"If we find the guy who stripped Hisami's spirit, is it possible to take her back and reintegrate her into her mind?"

With so many people in the wilderness, and an unknown number of those who joined the Heavenly Will organization, where could Li Zheng possibly find the guy who stripped Kumi of her privileges?
The other party left no clues at all. Finding them was like looking for a needle in a haystack! "Is there no other way?" Li Zheng withdrew his mental energy, raised his hand and rubbed his temples hard. He suddenly remembered that there were many patients here who had begun to wake up after treatment.

"Since the spiritual world and the spiritual body have disappeared, how did those people wake up?" he muttered to himself, turning to walk towards the door of another ward, which housed a patient who had already woken up, but whose behavior and logic were completely like that of an infant.

After carefully observing and confirming that his mental energy would not harm the other party, Li Zheng cautiously released his mental energy to contact the patient's brain.

"what?"

The moment he entered the other person's mind, although there was only a very slight barrier, Li Zheng still felt it and couldn't help but think: "This is a mental defense!"

Moreover, it resembles a newly formed, still-developing mental defense.

Li Zheng probed into the depths of his mind, but still found no spiritual world. However, he did find a tiny figure formed by extremely weak spiritual power within it!
"This is……"

After observing carefully for a moment, Li Zheng was shocked to discover that this little spirit was actually a newborn!

He withdrew his mental energy and asked the doctor, "What treatments did you use on these patients who have woken up?"

The doctor sensed that he had made a discovery and replied, "Many. I have used instruments to stimulate their brains, increasing the frequency of electrical activity in their cerebral cortex, and I have also fed them many drugs that I developed myself."

Li Zheng asked, "What treatment plan was used for these patients during their last treatment before they woke up?"

"The stimulation of the cerebral cortex by drugs PC-745514, PC-745515, and PC-697784, along with the instruments, is carried out simultaneously," the doctor explained.

There are actually three kinds of drugs?

Li Zheng paused slightly, then asked, "Could you let me see those three types of new drugs?"

"Okay." The doctor didn't refuse. It was just a glance; was he afraid that he could decipher the complete prescription with just one look?
Three different forms of the new drug were taken out: PC-745514 in pill form; PC-745515 in capsule form; and PC-697784 in granule form.

The only thing these three new drugs have in common is that they all emit the same medicinal fragrance.

Li Zheng stared intently, secretly asking the Eye of Preys to help analyze the components, focusing only on those that overlapped.

A few minutes later, Old Pu successfully analyzed the data and provided the answer: [Three components completely overlap, one of which is a wild grass growing in the Fourth Sin Domain; the other two have never been seen before, and their corresponding components cannot be identified.]

Wild grass in the fourth sin domain?

Li Zheng was completely stunned. After recalling carefully, he realized that he had indeed seen some wild weeds when he went to the Fourth Sin Domain before. They were extremely rare, and it was very difficult to find even one clump.

But since Old Pu didn't suggest that the wild grass was useful, he didn't think much of it.

I only found out now that that stuff can actually be used in medicine!

“The magic-patterned trees in the First Sin Domain and the wild grasses in the Fourth Sin Domain—both of these things have wondrous effects.” Li Zheng’s eyes flickered as he pondered, “Strange variant materials are also frequently found in the Sin Domains. What’s going on?”

Why do even the most inconspicuous things in the Sin Realm have inexplicable effects?
Could the other two overlapping materials in the new drug also come from a certain sinful realm?
