As a laid-off reemployed worker, Yun Jian was accidentally swept into a real-life survival game when she had nowhere else to turn. She was also 'lucky' enough to acquire a special attribute...
In the public chat, amidst numerous complaints about Yunjian, a unique comment finally broke through.
"I was terrified! Guess what I just encountered? A flying, charred corpse! And this charred corpse was incredibly fast. If I hadn't had some kind of warning item on me, I almost wouldn't have made it back."
The other players obviously didn't believe it.
"Fly? Who are you trying to scare? How could that thing possibly fly?"
"Exactly, you're not another paid troll hired by the Cloud Alliance, are you?"
Just as everyone was making sarcastic remarks, the system issued an announcement. The familiar multicolored light flashed briefly and then disappeared. After a while, the multicolored light reappeared, repeating this several times before it stabilized.
[WARNING! WARNING! A crisis has occurred in the game that players cannot overcome. Please quickly stockpile resources, avoid the risks, and wait for the game developers to reconnect the connection to return players to the real world as soon as possible!]
The announcement left all players stunned.
"Is what Yunmeng said true? The charred corpses are that terrifying? They've even gotten the game developers involved?"
"Is it so serious that we have to bring us all back?"
"Holy crap, this is terrifying to think about!"
"Why didn't anyone else, besides the Cloud Alliance members, mention this in the public chat before?"
"Have you considered the possibility that everyone who encountered the charred corpse is gone?"
"Oh my god, don't scare me! I've survived this long since I entered this game, and I don't want to die at the hands of a charred corpse."
"It's okay. Even if it gets that serious, didn't the game developers say they'll bring us back to the real world? We just need to survive until then."
Many people share this view.
Anyway, the game company will cover everything, and they naively believe that the waiting time will not be long.
But looking at the unstable state of the system announcements, Yun Jian had a feeling that the game company behind it was also in trouble.
She is not optimistic about this incident.
She called Liang Song and Xiao Zhen, "While we can still deal with the charred corpses now, let's go out for a trip. Whatever supplies we can find, let's stock up on them first. I'm afraid we won't have another chance to go out later."
Liang Song and Xiao Zhen naturally had no objections.
After fully charging the energy storage ball, the group packed up their equipment and left the camp.
They accepted anything they could catch in the jungle, any fruit they could pick, or any wild vegetables they could gather.
Xiao Zhen was picking a clump of thorn berries when she suddenly saw a dark brown figure running past. She quickly threw the berries into her backpack, then took out her water gourd and sprayed water at the dark figure. When the water hit the figure, she quickly activated her skill, freezing the water instantly.
Just as the ice covered the figure, an arrow arrived, striking the ice with a loud thud.
Xiao Zhen immediately became alert. "Who?"
Without saying a word, the other side shot another arrow at Xiao Zhen.
An ice shield was erected in front of Xiao Zhen, keeping the arrows at bay.
She was a little angry at this man. "I took down the wild boar first. Your arrows came later. You have no right to take it from me."
The worst part is that this person also had the insidious intention of killing her.
Yun Jian was drawn over by the commotion. She tiptoed and saw someone trying to slip away. In a flash, she appeared in front of the person.
Upon seeing Yun Jian's appearance clearly, the man's face was filled with astonishment.
"It's you!"
Before he finished speaking, the man attacked Yun Jian with all his might, each move aimed to kill her. Fortunately, Yun Jian was fast, and the man's movements seemed to her as if they were in slow motion, until the man pulled out a bomb.
Yun Jian quickly retreated, "Which faction are you from?"
The man gave a chilling smile, "You only realize it now? Good, at least you'll die knowing why!"
Just as he threw the bomb, he heard a whooshing sound getting closer and closer. He paused, looked up, and saw a grenade flying toward his face.
His expression immediately changed. "How come you have one too?"
Yun Jian was busy dodging bombs and didn't have time to reply to him.
But when she lay down, the bomb was much less powerful than she had imagined; only a few stones that had been kicked up by it scratched her skin.
"Sister Yun!"
Xiao Zhen rushed over, but before she could get close, she was thrown by the blast wave. However, she was far away and was not greatly affected. Once the dust settled, she immediately ran to Yun Jian's side.
"Sister Yun, are you alright?"
Yun shook his head.
Xiao Zhen looked down at Yun Jian's wounds. "You're injured, how can you say you're fine? Let's go back first."
After saying that, she helped Yun Jian up and prepared to return to the camp.
Yun Jian broke free from her hand, "Let's stockpile supplies first."
With so many people in the camp, the supplies they need are far more than just a little.
Xiao Zhen was unwilling, but she had no choice but to listen to Yun Jian.
He could only silently curse that person in his heart at least eight hundred times.
For the rest of the time, Xiao Zhen stayed close to Yun Jian, feeling extremely guilty. She kept repeating in Yun Jian's ear that if it weren't for her, Yun Jian wouldn't have been injured.
Yun Jian: "..."
Annoyed, she turned to Xiao Zhen and said, "There seem to be some wild vegetables over there. Go take a look."
Xiao Zhen pursed her lips, clearly not wanting to go.
"What if something happens to Sister Yun if I leave? You were already injured!"
"I just got a minor scrape, I'm not that delicate..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Jian suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost her balance.
Xiao Zhen immediately went over to help her, but Yun Jian pushed her away.
"Don't come any closer!"
She felt something was wrong with her; her body was gradually stiffening, and her head was throbbing with pain, as if something was gnawing at her body.
Xiao Zhen's tears immediately fell.
"Sister Yun, what's wrong?"
Yun Jian didn't look at her, but instead shouted at her sternly, "Run! Don't worry about me!"
After saying that, she took out the energy storage ball and pointed it at herself without hesitation.
Seeing her action, Xiao Zhen finally realized, "Sister Yun, are you... are you infected...?"
With her last remaining willpower, Yun Jian instructed Xiao Zhen, "Go find Liang Song quickly, and then you two hurry back to the camp."
"But Sister Yun... no, I can't leave!"
Yun Jian didn't have the strength to speak anymore. She felt as if her consciousness was gradually slipping away, and she couldn't even control her limbs. Her whole body ached terribly, and she couldn't even tell which was her hand and which was her foot.
She tried hard not to get discouraged and laboriously opened the backpack sharing app.
She can't die with the supplies.
Just then, a tingling sensation replaced the pain, bringing her back to consciousness. She looked down and saw that Xiao Zhen had taken her place, holding a battery and discharging electricity.
The little girl's face was streaked with tears. "Sister Yun, hang in there! We'll go back to camp. They'll find a way!"
"I...I'm not going back to camp."
Xiao Zhen stopped listening to her and carried Yun Jian to the camp. Whenever Yun Jian showed signs of fainting, she would shock her with the energy storage ball.
