Lu Ping explained, "Clean water should be colorless and odorless. Even if it's not clean, it should at most have a slightly fishy or rotten smell. But this pot of water has a very light and faint medicinal fragrance, and a very slight... burnt smell!"

Upon hearing the acrid smell, Yun Jian immediately understood, "Is it related to the charred corpse?"

"Since that's the case," she looked at the man and asked, "So you're from Tengyun Pavilion?"

This time, the man didn't shout or yell anymore; he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

[Damn, there really is something wrong. He acted so innocent just now, I thought he was innocent, and I almost said Yun Jian had wronged an innocent person!]

I feel like if I entered this game right now, I probably wouldn't survive a day.

[This guy acted so innocent before, making me comment in the live chat that Yun Jian was too paranoid. Damn, he really is a wolf in sheep's clothing.]

[The people from Tengyun Pavilion are truly despicable. I wonder what they're doing with this pot of water. Luckily, Yun Jian discovered it, or we would have been in serious trouble.]

Yun asked for a long time, but the man just wouldn't say.

She adopted an attitude that she was willing to do whatever she wanted with him.

"Not going to talk?"

Yun Jian looked at the fourth brother and asked, "Do you still have those fine threads that you got from the charred corpse last time? Bring them over and pour them into his nose."

The fourth brother was about to say that all the fine threads had been electrocuted, but then he thought better of it and quickly nodded, "There are still some, I'll go get them right now!"

Seeing the fourth brother leave in a hurry.

The man glanced at Yun Jian discreetly.

"So you guys are into playing with silk threads too! Humph, I thought you were so high and mighty? Aren't you just using these things to harm people as well?"

Yun Jian wasn't provoked by him and simply said, "You should first think about what it would feel like if those fine threads crawled into your nostrils!"

The man pursed his lips. "I won't tell you anything you want to know."

Yun Jian wasn't annoyed. He asked Lü Ping, "Last time you said you found the address of their lair. Give me the coordinates, and I'll send this person and that pot of water back to them! We just happen to need a shield to protect ourselves from the charred corpses!"

As she spoke, she rubbed her fingers.

The man's eyes darted around.

Their camp is extremely well hidden, and few people know about it to this day. Is Yun Jian lying to him?

Before he could figure it out, Yun Jian picked up the pot of water, then had Xiao Zhen make a handle on the man's back, and then dragged the man out.

Seeing that she was really going to leave, the fourth brother quickly called out to Yun Jian, "Eldest brother, are you really going to leave?"

Yun Jian nodded, looked at the sunlight outside, and said, "It's been a long time since I've gone out. I'll go out for a walk to clear my head."

"But there are so many charred corpses outside..."

Yun stopped the fourth brother from speaking, saying, "I have my own way. Little Bug will wake up soon, don't worry."

The fourth brother stood in front of Yun, unwilling to let her pass.

Yun, growing impatient, pushed him aside and the fourth brother turned and called out towards the villa, "Brother Liang!"

When Liang Song appeared, the fourth brother quickly explained what had happened. "You should catch up with the eldest brother. It must be very inconvenient for her to be dragging such a big popsicle."

Liang Song nodded, activated his defensive shield, and followed.

Yun hadn't gone far when her popsicle was snatched away. She turned around and saw Liang Song looking at her with a serious expression. "Your strength is low, so I'll carry it. You just keep going."

Yun Jian nodded.

"Don't you understand why I insisted on bringing this person out?"

Liang Song remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

Yun Jian sighed, "The stuff those guys from Tengyun Pavilion have researched is probably nothing good. If we're not careful, it could wipe out our entire camp. Of course, I want to return something so dangerous to them intact. More importantly, this person himself might also pose a threat, so I don't dare to deal with him rashly."

Liang Song nodded, "The boss is right, it's just too dangerous."

The man looked utterly dejected; he had failed to complete the task assigned to him by the organization.

What's even more unsettling is that Yun Jian actually kept his word and used the charred corpse as a human shield whenever they encountered it.

He had no chance to resist.

Several times I was almost scratched by the charred corpses, but luckily the ice was thick enough.

He was already in a sorry state after the journey.

Moreover, because his whole body was frozen, he couldn't send messages to the organization or find someone to rescue him.

The man had been planning all the way to the camp how he would retaliate against Yun Jian!

However, Yun Jian did not give him that chance.

When they were almost at their camp, Yun Jian first stuffed something into his mouth, then took out a sewing kit and quickly plunged a needle into his body.

The man only managed two sobs before losing consciousness.

Liang Song helped break the ice off the man's body, and Yun Jian controlled the man to go back.

Halfway there, he suddenly remembered something, opened the man's system panel, and sent a message to all his contacts: "Come pick me up, I'm outside the camp."

Before long, two people ran out of a small hole.

Fortunately, the man looked quite pitiful, and Yun Jian made him appear as if he was about to collapse. The two men wanted to ask some questions to verify his identity, but seeing how weak the man was, they ended up helping him walk around the small cave entrance.

Yun Jian observed their route and, sure enough, there was an ambush outside.

Fortunately, she didn't rush over.

She sensed the man's actions, and when he stopped, she suddenly controlled him to take the water bottle out of his backpack and then, with lightning speed, throw it on the ground.

Yun Jian didn't know exactly what was happening inside the camp, but she could sense that it was in a state of great chaos.

Liang Song, who was keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings, suddenly asked, "Boss, can you smell a very strong odor?"

Yun Jian snapped out of her daze, "I smell it, a very strong burnt smell."

This means that charred corpses have appeared nearby again.

Now that their goal had been achieved, Yun Jian didn't linger any longer and quickly headed back with Liang Song.

What they didn't expect was that a large group of charred corpses would run right into them.

Liang Song gripped the brick in his hand tightly: "One, two... fifteen! How can there be so many?"

There are only two of them, so their chances of winning are very low if they face each other head-on.

Liang Song's face turned serious: "Boss, you're fast. Go first, there's still a chance to escape!"

Yun Jian glanced at him. "What are you talking about? Do you think I'd walk by myself?"

She wasn't the kind of leader who needed to risk her subordinates' lives to save her own.

Liang Song didn't insist. He just forced a smile and kept his eyes fixed on the charred corpse flying towards him. As soon as the corpse pounced, he would throw his brick at it.

But to their surprise, the charred corpses ignored them completely and flew straight over their heads.

It's as if there's something even more attractive behind them.

After all the charred corpses had flown away, the two exchanged a glance. Behind them was the Tengyun Pavilion camp.

The two immediately realized, "It's that pot of water!"

Liang Song felt a wave of fear wash over him. "That pot of water could attract charred corpses! If the boss hadn't brought the water back, the place where the charred corpses attacked would have been our camp, and the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

He was now incredibly grateful that he hadn't stopped Yun Jian.

Yun Jian glanced at Tengyun Pavilion; it was a dark mass of countless charred corpses flying in that direction.

"Go back quickly, it's not safe outside."

The two returned to the camp. Lao Si waited for a long time and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had returned safely.

Although he wanted to reprimand Yun Jian, he didn't dare to.

He could only give Liang Song a meaningful look.

Liang Song shook his head. "Fourth brother, don't be dissatisfied. Luckily, the eldest brother sent that thing back. You have no idea what it is. As soon as it was thrown out, countless charred corpses flew over. Now, that Tengyun Pavilion is a world of charred corpses."

The fourth brother opened his mouth, "Is it that scary?"

Liang Song nodded, "Of course it's terrifying, but then again, it's not suitable to keep this thing anywhere. Returning it to them is the best course of action, and it wouldn't be a waste of their hard work in creating it."
