What's even more terrifying is that Liang Song is carrying that small mound of earth towards them.

Are they planning to move it directly back to the camp?

That's really tough.

But then Lü Ping realized something was wrong: "There's a shrinking safety barrier around this mound; Liang Song can't cross it!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Jian merely glanced at him indifferently.

He whispered something, and Liang Song responded. He placed the small mound on the isolation strip and walked around it, and the area covered by the isolation strip immediately shrank.

Liang Song kept adjusting the angle until the small mounds were completely reduced in size.

Then throw the mound out of the cordon and have Bai Yu pick him up.

Lü Ping was dumbfounded.

Is it even possible to do it this way?

In contrast, Bai Yu and the others didn't react much to this action, as if they were already used to it.

Lü Ping felt that something was wrong.

The group searched the small mound but found nothing except a few pieces of clothing.

Bai Yu frowned. "Since they've set up a cordon around here, there's no reason they shouldn't send some people to guard it, is there?"

"Yeah, it's abnormally quiet here."

Yun Jian shook his head. "It's not that they didn't send anyone to guard it, but that the person guarding it is already dead."

She took out the few pieces of cloth and waved them in front of the group, saying, "The charred corpse that Liang Song dealt with also had these pieces of cloth on its body."

After recalling the events, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

This means that the people who were originally guarding this place have become charred corpses.

Although I had this suspicion for a long time, it was only when I experienced it firsthand that I truly felt that indescribable sense of crisis.

Listening to their conversation, Lü Ping suddenly realized, "Isn't that shrinking isolation zone only effective against living things? Why is it effective against this nitrate ore as well?"

Yun Jian glanced at him and laughed, "In this game, as long as you have the right items, what's impossible?"

Even charred corpses with wings exist; what other outrageous things can't happen?

Speaking of this, Yun Jian couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She felt it was a bit of a pity that she had already used up all three uses of the "I don't think you're good enough" item.

Although the name sounds unserious, the props are actually very useful.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Bai Yu and said, "The charred corpses we encounter on the way back might be even stronger. We need to conserve our supplies. Bai Yu, give me the energy storage ball and take Lao Si back underground."

The fourth brother knew that his fighting ability was extremely poor and that staying behind would only be a hindrance, so he immediately handed over the energy storage ball and the stun gun.

Bai Yu was somewhat reluctant.

"I don't want to be a deserter."

Yun Jian didn't speak, but just stared at him coldly.

Liang Song patted his shoulder, "You take Lao Si first, which will relieve some pressure on Lao Da. If we all rush back, we might not have enough energy storage balls if we encounter charred corpses. Lao Si can share his backpack with Lao Da when we get back to camp, and he can also charge the energy storage balls, which can quickly replenish our remaining energy."

Although Bai Yu was unwilling, reason told him that he had to go back.

Lu Ping poked his head out and finally sensed that something was wrong.

"Don't tell me you guys are the ones selling electricity?"

No one answered him, but the expressions on everyone's faces clearly told him the answer.

Lu Ping didn't care, but said sarcastically, "Just go back when I tell you to. Otherwise, a group of people who control the only resource in the entire jungle that can restrain charred corpses will end up dying at the hands of charred corpses. Wouldn't that be laughable?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Yun Jian, his fawning expression undisguised, "Boss, I'm good at everything from serving tea to pouring water, I also want a battery storage ball..."

He had wanted it before, but he thought it was something Yun Jian had spent a lot of money to equip the camp with, so he was too embarrassed to ask.

But now that the electricity is in their camp's hands, what does he have to fear?

Yun Jian didn't answer directly, but simply said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

Bai met Yunjian with a cold expression, and pulled Lao Si down into the ground in a huff.

As Yun Jian had predicted, they encountered several more groups of charred corpses on their way back. Xiao Zhen had ice and water gourds, so although she couldn't kill the charred corpses, she could at least hold them off and survive.

On the contrary, Liang Song was hampered at every turn because he was carrying a small mound of earth.

Yun felt compelled to stand with Liang Song and help him out when necessary.

As they continued their journey, they also discovered that there were more and more charred corpses with wings.

When the group returned to the camp, they were all disheveled and looked terrible.

Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

The winged charred corpses are very powerful. They swoop down from the sky at an extremely fast speed, making them difficult to defend against. If you are not careful and get a wound from them, you will be infected and become a charred corpse, thus increasing the number of charred corpses.

This creates a vicious cycle.

Moreover, the charred corpses' evolution speed far exceeded their expectations.

Yun Jian realized that it was necessary to take unconventional measures.

She opened the system panel, found the customer service button in the upper right corner, reported a series of questions about the charred corpses, and then asked: "Faced with such a huge crisis, doesn't the game developer plan to take some measures to control it?"

The viewers in the live stream also fell into deep thought.

[That's right, the evolution speed of the charred corpses is clearly beyond what the players in this game can handle. If the game developers don't intervene, are they trying to turn this game into a ghost game?]

The charred corpses have hard limbs, wings that allow them to fly, and a terrifying infectiousness. Who knows what other mutations they might develop if they continue to mutate? If the game developers are slow to react, they might have to prioritize rescuing the surviving players.

I just want to know, why did the charred corpse go out of control?

If the game developers intentionally set charred corpses, this difficulty level is clearly abnormal, giving me reason to suspect what Bete is trying to achieve.

Lin Yongqi, watching from the screen, also started to get anxious. Yun Jian was already considered one of the top players in the game, and even Yun Jian was finding it difficult, let alone the other players.

Most importantly, if the charred corpse is allowed to continue growing, it's uncertain whether Yun Jian will survive.

She quickly called her uncle.

"Hey, Uncle, your game..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man interrupted her, "I know, our team is trying to figure it out. For some reason, the game seems to be infected with a virus. We can't control the charred corpses through data, and we can't even make any modifications to the program."

Lin Yongqi was taken aback. "You mean there's no way to deal with these charred corpses?"

She panicked for a moment, then quickly asked, "Can we get the players out of there first?"

The man on the other end sighed, and Lin Yongqi immediately had a bad feeling. Sure enough, he then heard the man say, "No, we can't open the connection channel. We're powerless."
