Before long, the temporary team composed of the players approached the Cloud Alliance camp.

"We must resolve this within twenty minutes. Regardless of whether we succeed or not, we must retreat immediately after twenty minutes!"

The group was full of fighting spirit, holding their explosive packs and eager to try.

On the rooftop of the villa.

The fourth brother was on high alert when he suddenly remembered something. "Boss, didn't we also bring back a ore of nitrates? Haven't we gotten our explosives yet?"

If all else fails, there are always grenades you can snatch from airdrops.

Yun Jian shook his head. "We don't need these for now. Just watch, these people will leave on their own in a little while."

After saying that, Yun Jian asked the fourth brother to take out a silkworm cocoon and wrap the entire defensive shield.

Then, he called Xiao Zhen over and said, "This time, don't just wet the cocoons. Can you form a film of water on the cocoons? The thicker the better."

Xiao Zhen frowned. "I'll give it a try."

Yun Jian didn't insist. "If it doesn't work out, then forget it. But you'll have to keep an eye on those bombs later. When they fly over, quickly spray water on them. If you can, freeze them so they can't explode."

Xiao Zhen nodded.

The fourth brother then connected the generator, and an electric arc immediately appeared on the silkworm cocoon water cover.

The players hiding in the distance were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this?"

"With just one layer of electric fence, wouldn't a charred corpse be useless?"

"666! They actually managed to create something like this. No wonder the Cloud Alliance is so fearless."

"Stop lamenting, let's think about what to do now. Those charred corpses are useless once they touch the electric grid. We've already lost a major fighting force, and the situation is not optimistic for us."

"If we can't use the charred corpses, let's use explosives to blow them up first. Let's blast through their electric fence."

"Now I understand why the Tengyun Pavilion people didn't come themselves. Turns out they couldn't have taken it anyway. I really believed their lies!"

"There's nothing we can do. They developed the drug, so having the drug is like having a mother."

As they spoke, bombs were thrown out one after another.

However, the bombs did not explode as these people had imagined. Before they even landed on the cocoon-like cover, they were caught by a stream of water, and after a couple of seconds of sparks, they went out with a "poof".

Some were frozen solid and fell to the ground as ice lumps; others, though not frozen solid, fell onto the cocoon and became duds.

Upon seeing this, everyone felt a sense of defeat.

"Holy crap, this...this...this actually works?"

"I'm impressed. We should head back now. Who knows what tricks they'll pull if we keep fighting like this?"

"I thought explosives were a weapon of mass destruction, but this is all? It's like they're rubbing my IQ into the ground."

A moment of silence fell over everyone.

No one expected things to turn out this way.

The charred corpse died before it could even begin, and all the bombs turned into duds, not a single one of them detonated.

It seemed as if they had exerted all their strength in this battle, yet they hadn't even scratched the opponent's itch.

After a long pause, someone finally spoke up again, "Are we going back now?"

Everyone looked at him.

The man shrank back slightly under their gaze. "No, if we keep fighting, we'll only be wasting our resources. Besides, they don't know what kind of counterattack they might have. What if we can't handle it? Wouldn't that be a double loss?"

But they were unwilling to let them leave like this.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "What's that on the silkworm cover?"

When everyone looked over, they saw that there were some black things on the originally white silkworm cover. Those things were thin and long and could move.

There were quite a few of them; it was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"Could this be a counterattack by the Cloud Alliance? But this is disgusting."

"It should be. It's on the silkworm cage. If they didn't do it, then who did?"

"No, look where those black threads appear, there are dud bombs there."

Upon hearing this, everyone took a closer look.

They finally realized something was wrong.

"These filaments came out of our bombs!"

"It was Tengyun Pavilion! They tampered with the bombs they gave us!"

Does anyone know what these fine threads are?

"You might not be able to accept what I'm about to say, but these fine threads seem to be something inside the charred corpse, and it's this thing that's controlling the charred corpse's movements."

"What?! Are you sure?"

The man pulled out some old photos as he spoke, “This is what I found inside my companion’s body after he was infected by the charred corpse. It’s exactly the same as the one on the silkworm cover.”

A chill ran down everyone's spine.

He lost all interest in dealing with the Cloud Alliance and instead proceeded to curse the Tengyun Pavilion.

"This is outrageous! They actually gave us this kind of bomb. What if we weren't careful and got infected?"

"Hmph, they never even considered helping us!"

"Haven't you noticed a more serious problem? They can extract these things and put them into bombs! That means they have countless bombs like these, and they can infect whoever they want!"

"Holy crap, Yun Jian was right after all, they really do have these kinds of bombs!"

"They created such heinous things; their hearts are utterly despicable!"

Without further delay, everyone quickly packed their things and left.

Who knows if those fine threads are already hidden among them? It's better to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Cloud Alliance.

Liang Song's voice rang out: "They've left."

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Yun Jian: "He really left. You were right, you were incredibly prescient."

Lu Ping glanced at Yun Jian with a surprised look. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to deal with those people's bombs, but he didn't expect that he didn't have to exert any effort at all and just lay down.

He circled Yun Jian twice, asking, "How exactly is your brain structured?"

Is this the kind of thinking a normal human being should have?

Yun asked him, "Have you ever seen a walnut?"

Lü Ping nodded.

"My brain is shaped like a walnut kernel, and so is yours."

Lü Ping chuckled dryly twice.

Help, this joke isn't funny at all.

Just then, Xiao Zhen walked over with a strange look on her face. "Sister Yun, I..."

Seeing her hesitant and embarrassed, Yun Jian said directly, "Just say what you want to say."

Xiao Zhen bit her lip. "Sister Yun, I... I don't feel well."

"Did you overuse your skills and your body can't take it anymore? If you're not feeling well, go back and rest. We'll stay here and watch over you."

Xiao Zhen nodded and went back.

The fourth brother looked up at the white-and-black silkworm shell and looked at Yun Jian with admiration. "Did the eldest brother already know that their bomb was faulty? That's why he was so sure?"

Yun nodded.

"They bombed our camp before and know that bombs alone might not be able to break through our defenses, so they're looking for other ways. They've used the method of mixing fine wires into bombs before, and the wires are very flexible. Even if they can't break through the defenses, they might just slip through some gaps into our camp. There's no reason for them not to use that method."

"More importantly, once the bomb successfully detonates, who will know that they have mixed fine wire into it?"

Bai Yu curled his lips into a sneer and snorted coldly, "They really don't mince words when it comes to plotting against people."

Meanwhile, in the public chat, everyone had already angrily confronted Tengyun Pavilion.

"@Tengyun Pavilion, come out and explain yourself! What's with the bomb you gave us? Why is it mixed with black filaments from a charred corpse? Don't tell us you don't know; excuses won't work!"

Some players who didn't participate in the raid were also shocked when they saw the news.

"What happened? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Is it true? The people from Tengyun Pavilion actually gave you that kind of bomb? That's too wicked."

"Quickly check your backpacks for any of these thin threads. What are they trying to do? How could they use something so dangerous?"
