The sound didn't come from Yun Jian's side, but from the other side.

Bai Yu was wondering where the "crack" sound came from before they even attacked the charred corpse when he saw a pair of large wings suddenly flap out from behind one of the charred corpses.

Holy crap!

Bai Yu was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back.

He felt that God might be playing a joke on him.

Even the comments section was filled with exclamations of "Holy crap!"

[A charred corpse has evolved wings? What the hell!]

[This evolution speed is incredible. If it continues like this, the players will probably all be wiped out in less than half a month.]

[This is terrifying! If it evolves wings, the charred corpse's combat power will increase significantly. This is definitely bad news for Yun Jian and the others.]

[The charred corpses have become so ridiculously disfigured, aren't the game developers planning to intervene?]

Good grief, this is going to be hell mode for everyone!

[Yun Jian: Finally, someone understands my heartache.]

Seeing this, the fourth brother couldn't help but feel his legs go weak.

Good heavens, what was he thinking, coming to this game to get himself into this mess?

Oh no, calling for Mom won't work, his mother is already dead.

The fourth brother turned around and precisely grabbed Yun Jian's leg, saying, "Boss, my legs are weak."

Yun Jian didn't turn his head, but said to Lao Si, "Get behind me, don't let them catch you."

As they were speaking, a charred corpse let out a long howl and flew into the sky.

It only paused briefly in the air before swooping down.

The objective was precisely the direction Yun Jian was standing in.

Yun Jian kicked Lao Si backward a bit, then raised his knife, aimed at the charred corpse's feet, and prepared to confront it head-on. However, the charred corpse only made a feint at Yun Jian's head before changing its target and rushing towards Lao Si, who was lying on the ground.

Still shaken, the fourth brother instinctively raised his stun gun as he watched the rapidly approaching charred corpse.

But... the stun gun only resisted for two seconds before going on strike.

The charred corpse, further enraged by the electric shock, twisted its body in the air, seemingly trying to confirm whether the stun gun still had any effect on it. Even without eyeballs, its charred and hollow eye sockets conveyed its overwhelming rage.

Taking advantage of this time, the fourth brother rummaged in his backpack and pulled out a gun.

He pulled the trigger as the charred corpse swooped down once more.

But... the bullet only passed through the charred corpse's body, without even stopping the corpse's movements for a second.

After this attack missed, the fourth brother had no more means to stop the charred corpse from getting closer.

He even resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes.

But the expected pain didn't come. Instead, he heard Yun Jian's angry shouts, "What are you standing there for? Run! I can't hold you back any longer!"

The fourth brother suddenly opened his eyes and saw a hook caught on the waist of the charred corpse, which was less than 20 centimeters above him.

The fourth brother quickly rolled away, escaping the charred corpse's attack range.

Seeing the fourth brother escape, the charred corpse became even more agitated and struggled to chase after him.

Yun Jian's strength was already low, and she was almost dragged away by the charred corpse's movement. Liang Song used a brick to fan away a charred corpse, quickly came over to help her hold the string, and then held one end of the string and spun around at high speed in place.

When the centrifugal force became too great to hold back, Yun Jian had another thought and retracted the hook, but the charred corpse was nowhere to be found.

Bai Yu and Xiao Zhen also worked together to take down a charred corpse.

Bai Yu put on the mask, and the charred corpse suddenly froze for a moment. Taking advantage of this moment, Xiao Zhen took out the water sprayer she had just bought yesterday and used the high-pressure water jet to force the charred corpse back.

With the immediate danger temporarily resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could fully exhale, everyone's expression changed.

The charred corpse that was forced back was the size of a normal person one second, and the next second it was the size of a thumb.

"The shrinking trap!"

Bai Yu wanted to take a step forward to investigate, but then stopped, looking at the charred corpse in front of him, which had shrunk but was still squealing and trying to bite them, with a complicated expression.

If it weren't for this charred corpse stepping into this place first, they would have been the ones to shrink.

This also means that the nitrate mine has been fenced off.

Bai Yu looked at Yun Jian questioningly: "What do we do now?"

They went through so much trouble and fought so many charred corpses to get here; they certainly wouldn't be willing to go back like this.

Yun Jian rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a while, then looked at Bai Yu and said, "Go find a wild rabbit or a wild mouse, any living creature will do."

Bai Yu nodded.

He returned with a wild rabbit shortly afterward.

"Then what?"

Yun Jian pointed to the ground and said, "Judging from the state of the charred corpse just now, we know that the shrinking started from here. You go underground, take this wild rabbit and lead the way, and see if the shrinking effect also occurs underground."

Bai Yu didn't ask any more questions, and carrying the rabbit, he sank into the ground.

Not long after, Bai Yu reappeared on the ground, the rabbit in his hand still the same size as before.

"You can't go underground."

Yun Jian nodded to indicate that he understood, and took Lü Ping out of Bai Yu's pocket. "I remember you can only take one person with you each time you go down to the fields. Take Liang Song down with you, and then circle that small mound a few times to loosen the soil underneath..."

Upon hearing this, Lü Ping couldn't help but interject, "Wouldn't that turn it into an earthworm?"

Bai Yu gave him a cold look, and Lü Ping shut his mouth in annoyance.

That wasn't all. Bai Yu called over Lao Si and glared at Lü Ping fiercely, saying, "Lao Si, keep an eye on him. Don't let this kid run to Yun Jian whenever something happens."

The fourth brother patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry."

Lu Ping sensed something was wrong and quickly started to move, but he still couldn't escape the clutches of the fourth brother. The fourth brother put him on a leaf and then ignored him, saying, "Be careful, or don't blame me if you fall."

Lü Ping: "..."

The leaf is only the size of a palm, so he can only stand in the center to maintain his balance. If he moves even slightly, he might fall.

This guy is deliberately seeking revenge.

The sun grew stronger, and the acrid smell in the air grew heavier. Lü Ping was getting anxious. He struggled to maintain his balance and then looked at Yun Jian. "This mine is a bit far from the camp. Even if we take over this place, what can we do? Set up a long-term garrison here? There are so many charred corpses outside. It will be very dangerous for the people here."

It's too far, and there are no vehicles here, making it inconvenient to transport supplies. If we were to actually occupy this place, it wouldn't be a boon; it would likely be a burden.

Yun Jian, however, appeared confident and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Thinking of Bai Yu's skills, Lü Ping tentatively asked, "Are you planning to build an underground tunnel?"

But that's still far; a five-kilometer tunnel is quite a large project.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard a labored shout. Looking in the direction of the sound, Lü Ping was dumbfounded.

Liang Song actually lifted that small mound!

Like weightlifting, it was lifted high above the head.
