Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 856 - 615: The Death of Yan Guang

"Doctor Xiao, Sister Yueyue..."

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

In just a few days, the little spider had changed from a crystalline appearance to fiery red, advancing from Diamond Tier to Extraordinary Level, and was about to break through to Star Shining.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't listened to her yesterday and used that Jumping Device, she wouldn't be in trouble now."

The young girl felt very guilty. Yesterday, when Zhang Yue suggested she leave channel 995 first, she refused several times, but in the end, she couldn't argue against Zhang Yue and left early.

If she had insisted on staying, Zhang Yue wouldn't have faced danger in channel 995 today.

Xiao Siyuan wiped his hands and emerged from the capsule residence, first apologizing to the two players with worried expressions: "I'm sorry, this unexpectedly happened and delayed your exploration progress."

"It's okay," one of them said, "human lives are at stake, nothing is more important than saving a life. A slight delay in progress is nothing."

The other nodded in agreement: "Protecting the lives and safety of the people is our responsibility. If we hadn't encountered it, it would be beyond our control, but having encountered it, we absolutely can't stand idly by!"

These two were warriors of the Kunlun Legion, assigned by Young Marshal Liu Qi, responsible for acting together with Xiao Siyuan and others.

The purpose wasn't to protect them, but to look out for them in case of attacks from other legions.

Both of them were not weak, having Diamond Level ratings. With a bit of time to change equipment or consume something to enhance their physique, breaking through to Extraordinary Level wouldn't be too hard.

Xiao Siyuan looked at the two of them, as if seeing that company commander from before, his eyes welling up with tears.

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

"Hmm." Xiao Siyuan nodded.

Zhang Yue had cut her neck, injuring an artery, and blood gushed out, soaking her clothes.

Cleaning the blood was something Xiao Siyuan could have done himself.

Though a physician's heart is like a parent's, necessary precautions must be taken.

During surgery, one is wholly focused, not being able to consider other matters.

Now that the surgery was completed, the cleanup work was naturally left to a woman like Lin Fengjiao.

Seeing Li Chun on the verge of tears, Xiao Siyuan spoke to her about Zhang Yue's condition: "She was really ruthless with herself, cutting her neck halfway across. Everything that could have been severed was. If it weren't for the abundance of medical equipment in the Matrix, in the past, she wouldn't have lasted three minutes."

Hearing this, Li Chun felt hopeful: "So, Sister Yueyue is okay, right?"

"Alas..."

Xiao Siyuan sighed, his expression dim: "I've done everything I could, but her injuries are too severe. I can't guarantee she can make it through this.

Even if she survives, she will be left with aftereffects, at least losing her ability to speak."

"Moreover, she had already been poisoned before she attempted suicide. Although the poison isn't difficult to neutralize, it had lingered for a while. Along with her having been in a high-intensity battle, the toxins invaded her heart through her bloodstream, which is quite severe."

"Fortunately, it hasn't reached her brain, so there's no life-threatening risk. I mean purely from the poisoning, there's no life-threatening danger."

Listening to this, Li Chun's heart ached, and she couldn't help but shed tears: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have accepted that Teleportation Device from her."

The little spider wasn't weak. If she had been there, others might not have been able to defeat her.

"This isn't your fault; don't overthink it," Xiao Siyuan reassured her, "It's just bad luck on her part, running into two players from Mud Furnace on the last day.

Your brother Li Zheng has gone to avenge her, hasn't he? By now, it should be nearly over."

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures appeared not far from him.

It was Li Zheng, Zhan Zhouzhou, and Mirel.

"See, they're back," Xiao Siyuan pointed towards Li Zheng, frowning slightly upon seeing what he was holding.

"Ah!" Li Chun saw what Li Zheng was holding and exclaimed, "Isn't that a human head?"

Seeing Li Zheng approach, Xiao Siyuan reproached: "Why are you carrying two human heads back?"

Moreover, they were the heads of two players from Mud Furnace, making the place reek with their presence.

Li Zheng casually tossed the two heads, which rolled a few times, revealing two faces twisted in agony, clearly having endured inhuman torture before death.

He said coldly, "If Zhang Yue survives, these two heads will celebrate her survival. If she doesn't, they will serve as offerings to soothe her spirit."

"Alright, it's just a bit nauseating to look at," Xiao Siyuan spat at the heads, his disgust evident.

"I didn't have time to ask earlier," Li Zheng glanced at the two Kunlun warriors and asked: "What's the current situation exactly? Tell me in detail."

At his inquiry, Xiao Siyuan remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Yan Guang is dead."

"What?"

Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat: "Wasn't she with Phoenix Mountain?"

"She was killed protecting Phoenix Mountain," Xiao Siyuan sighed, "After you left, within a couple of days, rumors emerged on the world channel that you and your group were missing, suspected dead.

At first, we didn't pay it any mind, but as time passed, the Starting Point Legion didn't come forward to dispel the rumors, encouraging some people's thoughts instead.

On the third night, when everyone's exploration attempts were used up and they were resting, the Creation Legion suddenly deployed over thirty experts, having somehow learned of Phoenix Mountain's whereabouts, launching a night attack on them.

Phoenix Mountain, with Yan Guang, held out for less than two minutes. By the time we arrived, Yan Guang's mechanical arm had exploded into fragments, and she lay at Phoenix Mountain's feet.

Although we wiped out all thirty-plus individuals from Creation on the spot, as for Yan Guang, she..."

"Alas..."

Xiao Siyuan sighed again: "Because of this, Phoenix Mountain has gone mad. We haven't been able to contact him for days, and we don't know where he is or what he's doing.

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

"We've only been gone less than a week, and things have escalated to this?" Li Zheng clenched his fists, "Besides Yan Guang, how many from the Starting Point Legion were harmed?"

"One hundred and thirty-eight people," Xiao Siyuan provided an exact number, "Among them, twelve girls were saved by us. Those little devils aimed to capture them alive, breaking all their limbs for the purpose of...

Out of the twelve who were rescued, three committed suicide afterward."

"Didn't I leave the Star Thief for you?" Li Zheng asked, "How could there still be such heavy casualties?"

Unlike regular Jumping Devices, once the Star Thief is used, it activates instantly, without needing to be charged.

In theory, having the Star Thief on hand, two minutes would be enough to do many things.

At least, Yan Guang shouldn't have fallen.

"We initially wanted to study the Star Thief to replicate its blueprints, so we temporarily stored it with Ye Kai," Xiao Siyuan explained, "On the night of the incident, Creation launched their assault while most people were resting, preventing us from contacting Ye Kai immediately.

In the following days, Ye Kai has been extremely remorseful, not daring to sleep, afraid something might happen here, and he wouldn't be able to respond in time.

According to Ye Yuan, her brother's mental state is poor, often distracted."

Once players are asleep, they receive no information whatsoever, so being unable to contact Ye Kai was normal.

Li Zheng did not blame them. Whether it was researching the Star Thief, attempting to replicate it, or being unable to reach Ye Kai when the incident happened, none of these actions were wrong.

Nihong Country plotted with full intention and had numerous ways to succeed.

"Besides Creation, which other legions participated in the attack on Starting Point?" Li Zheng took a deep breath, suspecting it wasn't only Creation daring to act; there must have been an alliance backing them.

"The High Celestial Plain of Nihong, N Room of Stealing Country, New Era, Throne of the Gods of Northern Europe, Amazon War God of South America, the White-headed Eagle Legion of Lighthouse Country had part of their forces controlled by my chip; however, they somehow managed to remove the chip and joined the former second legion, White Dove, and also participated in this plan."

With all six great legions going all out, it's no wonder even Kunlun and Nine Heavens had to steer clear, intensifying their efforts to produce Jumping Devices, taking the entire Starting Point Legion into hiding.

"I understand," Li Zheng quietly listened and then said to Xiao Siyuan, "Privately send me all intelligence on these six legions. The rest, you don't need to worry about."

Li Zheng felt regret for his past leniency; had he known it would turn into this, he would have risked becoming a red name to wipe out all active forces of these legions at the time!

Yet it's not too late now.

The terminal already granted him immunity, and in the time remaining, no matter how many white-named players he killed, it wouldn't increase his killing value.
