Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

"We need to go back to Block 4 first. The Fengshan problem must be resolved as soon as possible; it can't be delayed."

Once the Blood-Patterned Black Dragon and the other two races discover the blood aura on Feng Shan's body, it will be troublesome to deal with the situation later.

After returning from Yan Bujin's place, Li Zheng told the professor.

Coincidentally, the professor had been worried about not having enough free time to study the data of the next ten people, and Li Zheng's suspension of training gave him just the right opportunity.

The professor adjusted his glasses and asked Li Zheng, "I heard you had the formula and manufacturing station for gene-based drugs?"

Li Zheng nodded: "There are only some low-level medicine formulas."

“That’s enough,” the professor said immediately. “I’ll keep them for now. The ten people you brought have very weak genetic enhancement. I can use that time to study what level of genetic optimization is the most perfect state.”

"it is good."

Li Zheng casually released the gene-making station, and after Xiao Siyuan entered the outer city, the machine returned to his hands.

"Alright, go ahead, be careful on the road." The professor waved his hand and turned to study the formula for the gene serum.

He was originally a researcher of gene-based drugs, but his memories were erased by the terminal, and this was just a re-encounter.

However, gene-enhancing drugs are now considered illegal, so if you use a little bit privately, it's fine as long as no one reports it.

If it's taken out to sell or used to research more advanced drug formulas, the end-users will definitely get involved.

The professor understood this, so he had no intention of developing a new advanced formula.

Besides, he doesn't have that much free time.

Li Zheng asked Mudala to call Miriel and Xiaoying, and the four of them set off for Block 4.

The next day at noon, the group appeared in front of the portal in Block 4.

As soon as I came out, I saw Feng Shan standing not far away like a gatekeeper, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, scrutinizing everyone who passed by the teleportation gate.

Upon seeing Li Zheng, he raised an eyebrow and greeted him, "What brings you back?"

Li Zheng said, "I need to take care of some things."

Then she took him to the house she had bought in Block 4.

“You must have met quite a few people lately. Go and call all the people with blood in their veins here,” Li Zheng said bluntly.

When operating within the matrix, there will inevitably be some people who, under duress, become tainted by bloodshed.

The Qidian Legion did not condemn these people outright; they could discern their true nature after a few days of observation.

Feng Shan's expression changed: "You're going to drive everyone away?"

According to the rules, those with red names are not allowed to enter the outer city.

Fengshan had been puzzled by this matter for a long time, unable to figure out how he had been promoted to the outer city. Because of this, he was very careful and never revealed the fact that he had blood on him.

"If we wanted to drive you away, we would have done so the day you entered the outer city." Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go quickly! Keep it quiet and don't attract the attention of the other three clans."

"You...you're not planning to gather everyone together and secretly kill them all, are you?" Feng Shan's expression was gloomy: "You don't need to do this, I can handle it."

"???" Li Zheng kicked him: "When the hell did you become so dramatic? Do I look like the kind of person who would kill someone?"

Fengshan dodged: "The ten thousand Nihong people you killed agree with this."

"Fine, let's start with you." Li Zheng pointed to the resentful black hair behind him and said, "Release your blood energy, then touch this thing, and you'll understand what I want to do."

Feng Shan removed the medals he was wearing, his body swayed, and a thick, scarlet aura emanated from his skin. The aura seemed to have a mind of its own, swirling and shifting unpredictably, like a malevolent demon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Putting aside his joking attitude, Feng Shan said seriously, "I've killed quite a few people before, and my blood energy is so concentrated that it's hard for me to control it. I'm not sure if it will hurt you."

Blood energy, to some extent, can enhance the combat abilities of bloodthirsty individuals.

For example, Lin Fan would condense his blood energy into armor to enhance his defense.

But only those who have truly come into contact with blood and qi know that this evil thing can affect a person's will, making them increasingly irritable, radical, and unscrupulous in their actions.

Once many people realize this, they will consciously take control of themselves.

There are also those like Lin Fan who completely indulge themselves and succumb to the influence of bloodlust.

The stronger the blood energy that clings to the body, the deeper its influence.

Fengshan had gathered the blood energy of nearly a hundred people in his body, and he had to expend a great deal of mental energy to suppress it every moment.

It's fine if you don't use it normally, but once you lose control, your blood and energy will become very unhealthy.

It may even automatically attack nearby creatures.

"Heh, don't worry, your meager blood energy is nothing compared to mine." Li Zheng chuckled, tossing his resentful black hair in front of him and flicking it onto the swirling blood energy like clouds.

Suddenly, the resentful black hair seemed to come alive, transforming into a hideous ghost face, opening its mouth to bite the blood energy.

The blood energy materialized as if it were a physical entity, struggling and writhing within the demon's mouth, trying to escape.

However, Ghost Face did not relax at all. It opened its mouth and sucked, and the blood energy on Feng Shan's body was swallowed up like noodles.

Deep within the Ghost Face, there seemed to be a strange space. Blood energy was sucked in as if it had vanished into thin air, without making a sound.

Fengshan was surprised. He could feel that his usually depressed mood, which was affected by blood energy, was becoming lighter as the ghost mask absorbed the energy.

"What is this thing? How can it devour the blood essence of the Bloodthirsty Ones?"

Feng Shan recalled that the thing on Li Zheng's body only appeared after he had slaughtered tens of thousands of people.

Seeing what he was thinking, Li Zheng explained, "This is the resentment of the dead. You can interpret it as a curse, or you can see it as a collection of negative emotions such as resentment and anger at being killed by their own kind..."

At this point, Li Zheng's heart stirred.

Why does this sound so similar to an emotional storm?
The emotional storm was caused by a single mistake by the main body, resulting in massive casualties. Later, under the influence of the mind interference device, the first emotional storm was born.

So, can we understand an emotional storm as a super-massive collection of resentment?
And this aggregate was initially and in its weakest form, which was the blood energy that clung to the Bloodthirsty Ones.
In this way, it makes sense that the terminal would banish the bloodthirsty ones to a second battlefield closer to the outside world after the emotional storm.

Looking at the resentful black hair that was still consuming blood energy, Li Zheng suddenly felt a sense of worry.

The fact that even the terminal can only try to isolate something means that there is currently no good way... no, it should be said that there is no effective way to eliminate blood energy. At most, it's like the Black Dragon Ancestor and what he's doing now, concentrating the spread blood energy onto one person.

However, as long as blood energy cannot be eliminated, what would happen if a person with blood energy died in the Sinful Realm?

perhaps……

The emotional storm is insurmountable. These survivors can only cower in the matrix, barely surviving, until one day resources are completely exhausted, or an ultimate war breaks out between the outer city and the wilderness, extinguishing even their last hope.
"wrong!"

Li Zheng suddenly realized what was happening.

How could I have such a pessimistic thought?
