Liang Song shook his head, "Nothing has been found yet."
"Then let's go around to the back of the mountain and go back."
Public chat.
The crowd was terrified by the sudden appearance of the charred corpse.
"What the hell are those things? How did they appear? We can't kill them, so could they just stay there forever?"
"Upstairs, you might be right. When I encountered this before, I tried everything. I cut off his hands and feet, but they could still move. I cut off his head, but his head could still jump around. And it went from one-on-one to one-on-five. If I hadn't been electrocuted later, I would definitely be GG."
"Everyone be careful, don't get hurt by that thing. Two members of our team were injured by it because they didn't defend themselves properly. On the way back, those two were already showing signs of turning into charred corpses. It's terrifying."
"My god, isn't this thing just like a zombie?"
"Ultimately, all I want to know is how to deal with this thing? If it can't be killed, can we use explosives?"
"That probably won't work. These things seem to form after people are blown up. What if they keep multiplying with each explosion? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"
"Speaking of which, I seem to know one of the charred corpses. He had six fingers and was a friend of mine before. However, he was already infected with the insect plague, and then he used Cheng Cheng's medicine, which delayed his treatment. He was beyond saving."
"Ah, I also have a friend who turned into a charred corpse, exactly the same as your friend's situation, plague, and the wrong medicine was used again!"
Subsequently, more and more players reported that people they knew had the same situation.
A bold guess emerged in everyone's mind.
"Could these charred corpses be the mutated remains of those people after they died?"
"If that's the case, Cheng Cheng truly deserves to die!"
"I'm not dead yet. Will I become like this after I die? I don't want to! I don't want to become a monster."
"I don't want to become such a scourge after I die. Can I dig a hole for myself, lie down in it, and bury myself as soon as I'm about to die?"
"Hmm... Upstairs, have you ever thought that if you're in a pit, you can't bury yourself? Besides, even if you are buried, isn't it possible that you could dig yourself out? That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas."
"This is so annoying! Wasn't it supposed to be just a wilderness survival game? How did it turn out like this? If I had known there would be charred corpses, I wouldn't have participated."
"Me too! I thought it was a proper wilderness survival game, but I never imagined it would turn out like this!"
"Actually, the game developers aren't wrong; it's in the wilderness, and we are indeed trying to survive. [doge emoji]"
"Stop joking around, everyone. Let's think of a way to deal with those charred corpses. Our methods are useless; we're just waiting to die when we're up against them."
"Do you guys remember those two electric shocks we got? I think electricity might have some effect on them."
After these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence in the public chat.
It took a long time before anyone spoke up.
"Of course we know that electricity is useful, but where are we supposed to find it?"
"I just went through the entire store and even refreshed it several times with points, but I didn't see a single product with an electric charge."
"Who was the last user to use electricity? Can you come out? If you do, you'll be our savior!"
Bai Yu saw this comment and smiled dismissively.
"The last person they regarded as their great benefactor was Cheng Cheng, but look at him now, what has become of him?"
The fourth brother scoffed, "This is currently the only thing that works on charred corpses. We don't even have enough for ourselves, how could we possibly step up to help them? The store has it, it's just that your store isn't high enough level."
Yun Jian was fiddling with her little insects when she heard this and looked up. "They want electricity? Why not give it to them? Exchange it for points."
The group turned to look at her.
Bai Yu's eyes widened. "You don't really want to sell electricity, do you? That's our biggest advantage right now."
Yun Jian, however, didn't seem to care and said, "You all said it yourself, people bitten by charred corpses will turn into charred corpses themselves. If they don't find a way to deal with the charred corpses soon, there will be more and more charred corpses in the game, and in the end, our situation won't be good either. All I'm doing is selling some electricity, which can slow down the growth rate of charred corpses and also earn me points to buy more items. Why wouldn't I sell it?"
Bai Yu choked.
The fourth brother stared at the generator for a long time. "But how do we store electricity?"
Yun Jian shrugged. "I don't know about that. We only sell electricity; we're not responsible for its storage or transportation."
After saying that, Yun Jian directly opened the trading platform and anonymously offered the following for sale: 220V electricity. Ten points can be used to purchase electricity that can be released for one second. Bulk purchases are allowed. (Please prepare your own equipment to store electricity if you wish to purchase. I am not responsible for providing such items.)
The sale notice was quickly discovered by many players.
However, this has also raised many questions.
"Really? It feels fake to me?"
"Isn't this just like that system messenger from before? Hilarious! This kind of trick is only good once; anyone who falls for it a second time is a fool!"
"Trying to cheat people out of points with such an arrogant attitude, are you just bored and looking for trouble?"
"Do you really think we're desperate and will try anything, even believing this kind of news? I don't understand why there are always people who play these petty tricks, making a fortune off disasters with a clear conscience."
"This is so pathetic, only selling for ten points. Learn from that system envoy last time, at least he asked for a hundred points right away. He's really disgracing scammers."
The fourth brother was both amused and exasperated by these comments.
"If you don't believe me, then don't believe me. Anyway, I'm not the one who will suffer."
After complaining, the fourth brother refreshed the store again and discovered something incredible.
"Boss, boss, look! My shop is selling energy storage balls!"
Yun Jian turned his head upon hearing this, "A storage ball?"
"Yes, and it's called a 'storage ball,' and it comes in several levels: one second, three seconds, five seconds, and ten seconds. It's practically made just for you to sell electricity!"
Seeing how excited the fourth brother was, Yun opened his shop and, sure enough, it was true.
More importantly, the system is not cheap.
Five points for one second, fifteen points for three seconds, twenty-five points for five seconds, and a whopping fifty points for ten seconds!
At this moment, Yun Jian realized that he wasn't good at business; the system was!
The fourth brother hesitated for a long time, his gaze occasionally drifting over Yun Jian's face, before finally unable to hold back and asking in a low voice, "Boss, tell me the truth, do you have any connection with the system? Or do you know anyone or something?"
That was incredibly fast.
[Haha, judging from Yun Jian's expression, is she also doubting herself?]
[There's nothing we can do. She sold electricity, and then the system released a storage sphere to complement it. It's impossible to explain this without some connection.]
[Is it possible that the system simply thought it could both earn points by selling energy storage orbs and control the growth rate of the charred corpses, killing two birds with one stone?]
