Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 909 - 642: Sin Domain (Part 2-3)

Every day, the Seven Great Sin Domains are explored individually, and the Outer City residents who dig for Twisted Magic Crystals are eroded in the depths of the Sin Domain, leading to an increase in the monsters within.

Li Zheng had no such concerns. He came this time precisely to explore the Sin Domain thoroughly. How could he stop here?

Thanking Aidaxi for the reminder, Li Zheng walked out of the building and continued deeper into the canyon.

Before long, he reached the edge of the Third Gathering Area.

By this point, each step further heightened the environmental influence of the Sin Domain to another level. There seemed to be a seductive sound whispering at his ear, yet upon focusing, it seemed like an illusion, disappearing.

The more this happened, the more Li Zheng instinctively wanted to hear those sounds clearly. He waited for a long time, yet the sound never appeared.

When he stopped maintaining his focused state, the elusive, wavering seductive sound attacked again, relentlessly bothersome.

He retreated back into the range of the Gathering Area, startled: "No wonder the Gathering Area doesn’t extend further — most people’s Willpower here can’t resist this corruption."

If not for his deep foundation, he would have fallen into the trap with just one step forward.

Looking around, all he saw was desolation, not a sign of a person, not even a single twisted creature he had heard about before.

"Strange, perhaps I need to go deeper?" Li Zheng recalled the Wind Demon Cat he encountered before; with its Spiritual Power intensity, it should not last long in the upcoming environment. How did it obtain the Twisted Magic Crystal?

"Huh?"

Just then, Li Zheng saw a few staggering figures walking slowly from afar.

Their steps were chaotic, postures twisted, draping over each other, unlike ordinary people.

"Twisted creatures?"

[Wounded Residents]

[Outer City residents retreating from the front line, severely injured, with blurred consciousness, hanging on by their last breath, their lives in danger if not treated immediately.]

"Front line?" Li Zheng’s expression changed, about to rush out to assist when suddenly a shadow flashed past him at high speed towards the returning severely wounded residents. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Aidaxi!

Li Zheng quickly unfurled his Thunder Wing to follow, only seeing up close how horrendous the wounds were on these residents.

Their limbs and bones all twisted at bizarre angles, and several front-to-back penetrating holes marked their torsos, surrounded by blood of various colors.

"Help me, bring two of them, let’s take them to the Medicine Race."

Aidaxi picked up three people, glanced sideways at Li Zheng, recognizing him.

Just after Li Zheng left, he received the message of several wounded retreating from the front line, prompting him to assist.

Arriving at the Gathering Area’s edge almost simultaneously with Li Zheng, he didn’t disturb him until seeing the wounded.

Li Zheng didn’t say much, directly grabbing two people. He then realized the two he gathered had bones shattered more than he imagined, drooping in his arms like human-shaped masses of ruined flesh.

If they hadn’t already grown like this, Li Zheng couldn’t imagine how they managed to endure such grievous injuries and return to the Gathering Area.

Not daring to delay, Li Zheng accelerated as fast as possible, tightly following Aidaxi, reaching a grass hut-style building in less than two minutes.

Aidaxi rushed forward, urgently kicking the door open, and entered with the three gravely injured patients.

Inside, they met a resident wearing a hood, a red cross pin on their chest, pointing to rows of medical beds: "Quick, lay them down."

As she spoke, she saw Li Zheng bringing people in: "You too, lay the wounded on the beds, do it gently to avoid further injuries!"

Following her instructions, Li Zheng quickly approached, placing the wounded onto medical beds one by one.

Then he saw the Medicine Race member retrieve several slender silver needles from somewhere, inserting them rapidly into her head, transforming herself into a hedgehog.

Only then did she start examining the five wounded.

Aidaxi approached Li Zheng, whispering: "Let’s head out, leave it to Yao Lian’Er here."

Seeing Yao Lian’Er take scissors to cut open the disguise suits on the wounded, Li Zheng understood he shouldn’t linger, promptly following Aidaxi outside to wait.

"Why did that Medicine Race member just..." Li Zheng wanted to ask why she used needles on herself.

"Remember the rules of the Fourth Sin Domain?" Aidaxi explained, "It’s the Medicine Race’s exclusive secret skill... called ’Golden Needle Forbidden God’. Using golden needles inserted into different... what’s it called ’acupoints’ produces various effects.

The acupoints Yao Lian’Er pierced can temporarily block any stimuli to her senses, ensuring short-term immunity from the patient’s true appearance impacting her, thus preventing the Fourth Sin Domain from eroding her.

But this method has significant limits; maintaining it long-term severely harms the body, hence except for those pursuing the healer profession, Outer City residents are forbidden from learning it."

The Medicine Race, like the Optimist Race, are essential races in every Gathering Area, requiring frequent shift changes.

Unlike the Optimist Race, after each shift change, the Medicine Race needs an extended rest period to fully recover their bodies from the damage caused by using the golden needles before returning to duty.

There were once Medicine Race members who worked long hours with needles inserted, ultimately collapsing into piles of meat.

Since then, the Medicine Race began to pass this exclusive secret skill on, allowing more healers to learn and use it.

However, very few are willing to assume the doctor’s duties in the Sin Domain.

The main reason is that treating patients here requires sticking needles into themselves.

Everyone’s Physique is different; some can work for dozens of hours with needles, needing only three days of rest for recovery.

Meanwhile, others can’t last even five minutes after inserting the needles.

No one knows if they’ll become the next pile of meat.

Therefore, in every Gathering Area, healers are eternally the most respected profession among other residents.

Without exception!

After waiting outside for a while, Yao Lian’Er opened the door and handed Aidaxi three Inscription Cards: "Take them back to their relatives."

Finishing coldly, she turned back inside.

"What are these..."

Aidaxi let out a heavy breath: "Three couldn’t be saved."
