Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 827 Meat!
"Li Zheng, aren't we going to save those people?"

Xiahou Fei pointed to the figures lying on the ground behind him and felt a pang of pity.

"Save them? How can we save them?" Li Zheng said helplessly, "You've experienced depravity yourself, you know what kind of person you would become in that situation, do you think there's any need to save them?"

Perhaps killing those people now would be more cost-effective than saving them.

Xiahou Fei nodded: "I understand."

This is similar to being consumed by rage or lust; not only can one not control oneself, but one also cannot listen to the advice of others.

Moreover, the palace in the spiritual world can only be freed by one's own will; the intervention of others is of no use whatsoever.

"Instead of thinking about unnecessary things, let's go take a look at the other side of the Golden Light Zone." Li Zheng started walking and said as he walked, "This is the fifth of the Seven Great Sin Domains I have entered, but the Sloth Sin Domain is completely different from the previous four, which gives me an ominous feeling."

In other sin realms, unless there were previous wars, twisted creatures would not break through to the rear of the golden light zone, but the Sloth Sin realm broke this rule.

This situation made Li Zheng feel that his understanding of the realm of sin was still too shallow.

He even wondered if the other twisted creatures in the Sin Domain were not unable to break through the golden light zone, but were instead confined to the edge of the golden light zone.
Just like sheep need sheepdogs to keep them in check, if a few sheep grow sharp teeth and claws, they will eventually be wiped out along with the rest of the flock once they have matured.
Xiahou Fei followed behind Li Zheng for several hours, and then the two arrived at the opposite side of the Golden Light Zone.

Upon arriving here, Li Zheng saw a small group of people who had successfully crossed the area ahead, but most of them were weak and seemed to be nearing the end of their lives.

"Are there new people here again?"

Upon seeing Li Zheng and his group, people immediately swarmed around them, shouting, "Newbie, do you have any food? Quick, give me some food, I'll trade you Twisted Magic Crystals!"

"Me too, I'll trade food with you too!"

"Don't push, don't push! Damn it, if anyone pushes me again, I'll eat them alive!"

The scene gradually became chaotic. Li Zheng frowned slightly, sensing the atmosphere of decadence in these people.

"You've been corrupted by the distortion?"

These people, just like Xiahou Fei not long ago, entered the golden light zone while under the influence of corruption. They relied on the battle intent domain of the Heavenly Dragon Clan to suppress the palace in their spiritual world and keep the corruption at a constant level.

"Of all the people who came here, how many haven't been corrupted?" someone gasped, as if squeezing air from their chest to make a sound. "We can't go back. We can only eke out a living here. Kid, do you have any food? Give me some! I'm starving!"

The hand, now just bones, reached out to grab Li Zheng. This man, in order to fill his stomach, had actually gnawed his own hand clean!

"I...I have some here."

Li Zheng wanted to stop him, but Xiahou Fei had already said those words.

really.

Upon hearing this, the group rushed to Xiahou Fei's side, their malice growing stronger amidst the clamor, as if they would devour Xiahou Fei if he didn't hand over his food.

"Don't steal it, don't steal it!" Xiahou Fei took out supplies from his personal space, but before he could distribute them, they were snatched away and stuffed into his mouth, swallowing them in large gulps.

"Delicious! So delicious!"

"Two months! I've been starving for two whole months, and I can finally eat fresh meat again!"

More! I want more meat!

"Hey kid, give me some meat right now, or I'll eat you!"

Xiahou Fei kept taking out various meats, vegetables, and fruits. Those people who were starving had no idea that they had said they would trade with things.

All they want now is to fill their stomachs!

Li Zheng frowned as he looked at the scene, realizing that this group of people were already useless.

Even if they escape the corruption like Xiahou Fei, if they later enter the sin domains of pride, gluttony, wrath, greed, envy, etc., they will probably be transformed into twisted creatures in an instant.

Hunger had filled their hearts with all sorts of negative emotions, like a barrel of gasoline that could be ignited by the slightest spark. Xiahou Fei's food was ultimately limited, and it was quickly taken away by the others. Seeing that he had no more food, the starving people set their sights on Xiahou Fei's body.

Others turned to stare at Li Zheng, trying to get a bite to eat from him.

"Kid, hand over the meat now!"

"Otherwise, we'll throw you outside the golden zone, kill you, and take your flesh!"

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

Hearing these malicious words, Li Zheng felt a surge of disgust: "The golden zone left behind by the Heavenly Dragon Clan is ultimately too rigid, actually protecting you bunch of bastards."

Within the Golden Light Zone, infighting is forbidden; otherwise, the collective will of the Heavenly Dragon Clan will expel them from the Golden Light Zone.

However, the inability to kill each other does not mean that they cannot take action. As long as they do not kill, but merely control the target and throw it away, the Celestial Dragon Clan will not interfere.

Some people have already surrounded Xiahou Fei without any gratitude. These people have realized that Xiahou Fei is not very strong. If they join forces to control him, take him outside the golden light zone, and kill him, they can get his whole body as food.

Li Zheng raised his hand and took out the Black Dragon Spear, roaring, "Get out of my way, or you'll die!"

The clothes that concealed her face moved without wind, fluttering and rustling.

The overwhelming killing intent suppressed the crazed people for a brief moment, but then they came to their senses and grinned wickedly: "Killing is forbidden within the Heavenly Dragon Clan's territory. Who are you trying to scare?"

"Catch him, torture him to death, I want to eat his flesh!"

"I can smell the aroma of his flesh. What a strong, fleshy body he has. It must be very chewy and filling!"

"Attack him together! I want his hands!"

"I want one of his legs!"

"I can't hold it in anymore, I'm so hungry!"

A group of people rushed forward frantically, completely ignoring Li Zheng's warning and the black dragon spear that shimmered with light.

Li Zheng's figure blurred, transforming into nine figures as he chanted the war song of the Heavenly Dragon Clan.

The stirring song echoed in the golden light zone, and the corpses of the Heavenly Dragon Clan around him, who had been dead for who knows how long, gradually shone brighter, resonating with Li Zheng's fighting spirit.

"What do you want to do?"

"You will be expelled from the Celestial Dragon Clan if you kill someone!"

"Don't think you're safe just because you resonate with the Celestial Dragon Clan!"

"Let us eat you up!"

The frenzied figure pounced on one Li Zheng after another, but none of them could catch a glimpse of his true form.

Li Zheng hummed a battle song, creating countless figures, while his real body weaved and dodged among them.

Until a layer of golden light spread from the air onto him, turning him golden yellow, he flicked his wrist and thrust his spear straight through a lunging man with a soft thud.

"No!"

"He's going to be expelled from the Celestial Dragon Clan!"

"My meat! The meat that was practically in my mouth!"

The other madmen cried out in grief; in their eyes, the biggest loss Li Zheng suffered from killing someone was that they themselves would never get to eat meat.
