Although they had figured out who was behind it, none of them looked happy.
The fact that their arch-enemy can manipulate charred corpses is not good news for them.
Bai Yu looked outside. Even without Lü Ping's skills, he could smell the pungent, burnt odor. As the charred corpses drew closer, it seemed as if even the sky was darkening. "What do we do now?"
Yun Jian looked at Liang Song, "Can the villa's defenses withstand these charred corpses?"
After a long pause, Liang Song shook his head. "There are too many charred corpses. It's going to be tough."
Yun Jian thought for a moment and said to Bai Yu, "Select out the elite fighting force. The old, women and children should hide underground. The rest of you should go to the rooftops."
She bought dozens more energy storage balls at the mall and had her fourth brother take them to charge, while she took the fully charged energy storage balls and stepped onto the roof first.
A charred corpse just happened to fly by.
By this time, the charred corpse's feet had evolved into sharp, hard claws.
The charred corpse let out a shriek and lunged at the defensive barrier with its claws. Just then, Yun Jian called out, "Liang Song!"
A hole appeared in the defensive shield, just big enough for the electric storage ball to extend out, and the charred corpse was immediately electrocuted upon arrival.
Although they managed to drive away one charred corpse, the number of charred corpses far exceeded Yun Jian's expectations.
They're like swarms of bats; you can't kill them all no matter how hard you try.
Everyone in the camp who was capable of fighting had a charged ball, yet the charred corpses overhead continued to appear in droves.
One energy storage sphere was quickly depleted.
Yun Jian quickly switched to the second ball, and in that brief moment of switching, he was almost caught by a charred corpse.
Most importantly, the fourth brother brought bad news: "The energy storage sphere is being depleted too quickly, and the generator can't keep up with the demand!"
She realized that this method of warfare was not working.
"If only there were something that could cover the shield and conduct electricity."
Upon hearing this, the fourth brother suddenly felt a jolt.
He took out a silkworm cocoon and handed it to Yun Jian, "Boss, how about this?"
As he spoke, the fourth brother pulled out a thread from the cocoon in his hand. This thread stretched along the gap in Yun Jianfang's energy storage ball to the outside of the defensive shield, and then spun into a large cocoon, quickly wrapping the defensive shield up.
However, silkworm cocoons do not conduct electricity.
So Xiao Zhen contributed her water hyacinth and sprayed water to wet the entire silkworm cocoon.
Then, the fourth brother brought over a generator and connected it directly to the silkworm cocoon. The entire cocoon instantly flashed with electricity.
Everyone was able to catch their breath.
Bai Yu patted the fourth brother's shoulder heavily and slumped to the ground: "Why didn't you bring out such a good thing sooner? It's exhausting."
The fourth brother scratched his head. "I just realized that myself. Thanks to the eldest brother for reminding me."
After saying that, he sat down in front of the generator and carefully watched as the fuel was added.
Meanwhile, Liang Song continued to operate the fly-eye device, monitoring the situation outside.
Xiao Zhen took the water hyacinth and, seeing a spot where the conductivity was poor, sprayed it on that spot.
The previous chaos has been brought under control.
Even though he had been there for more than ten days, Lü Ping was still dumbfounded. How could they possibly deal with it like this?
He once again felt the gap between the Limeng and this place.
If Li Meng were still alive, he wouldn't have enough lives to survive in this situation, yet here he couldn't even offer any help.
He walked up to Yun Jian and said admiringly, "It's understandable that I couldn't beat you back then."
Yun Jian gave him a strange look. "You're only realizing it now?"
Lü Ping: "?"
He felt as if he had been insulted.
The charred corpses' attack didn't last long. When they realized they couldn't break through the Cloud Alliance's defenses, they retreated on their own.
Inside the room, Yun Jian and the others did not feel joy at having defeated the charred corpse.
The atmosphere was unusually somber.
Bai Yu thought for a moment, "They can control charred corpses, and they might launch an attack at any time. We have to be on guard at all times. I don't want to sit and wait to die."
Liang Song sighed, "The key is that we can't get out now. The charred corpses are now very advanced and difficult to deal with. Besides, we haven't reached the end of our rope yet, so we can wait a little longer."
Bai Yu scratched his head in frustration. "But what will we do when we run out of supplies and points in the end?"
This is a very real problem. Bai Yu stood up and said, "I want to go out and find supplies. If we don't go out, the resources will eventually run out."
Liang Song disagreed, "The charred corpses now are not the same as the ones that appeared before. It's easy to get into trouble if you face them. Just to be safe, don't be impulsive."
"So, are we just going to wait for the charred corpses to wear us down?"
In fact, Bai Yu had been waiting anxiously for a while, and the sudden attack by the charred corpses just now intensified his sense of crisis, which caused him to go berserk.
Who knows when this waiting will end?
The key issue is that the other side is getting stronger, while they are stagnating, which is not a good trend.
Yun Jian rubbed his temples. "Listen to Liang Song, let's wait until Xiao Chong wakes up before we think about going out to find supplies."
The fourth brother weakly advised Bai Yu, "That's right, Brother Yu, if Xiao Chong wakes up, there's still hope for you if something happens to you. If Xiao Chong doesn't wake up, then you'll just become a disgusting charred corpse."
However, since Yun Jian had finally relented, Bai Yu, despite his frustration, gave in.
Suddenly, everyone's system panel vibrated simultaneously.
The fourth brother quickly opened it and saw an announcement pop up in the world channel.
[Dear players, after our Tengyun Pavilion's painstaking research on charred corpses, we have finally found a way to control them—the Charred Corpse Control Potion! One small bottle of this potion can control a charred corpse for twenty minutes! Limited quantity, first come, first served! (This item is not for sale to the Yunmeng or anyone associated with the Yunmeng!)]
"Am I seeing things? I can control charred corpses? Isn't that better than simply killing them?"
"Savior! This time it's a real savior! Heaven knows how hard I've been hiding from charred corpses these past few days, and I almost lost my life several times."
"What kind of powerful expert is this, who could develop such a miraculous thing? With this potion, what do I have to fear from charred corpses?"
"A more sophisticated approach than killing the opponent is controlling them. How ridiculous! They've already developed a potion to counteract charred corpses, but the game developers haven't shown up yet. Aren't you ashamed, game developers?"
"This could save your life, buy it!"
"I want one too! Please save one for me, sir!"
Yun Jian also checked the trading platform and saw a small green potion for fifty points.
In the short time she was distracted, the potions had already been sold out.
Bai Yu got angry when he saw this. "Why are you still looking at it? They clearly stated that they won't sell it to us."
"I was just looking, I didn't say I wanted to buy anything," Yun said calmly.
Aren't you angry?
Yun looked up at him and said, "Why are you angry? There's medicine to control charred corpses now, isn't that great? At least you don't have to live in fear anymore."
“But he won’t sell to us!!” Bai Yu emphasized.
Yun Jian raised an eyebrow: "If he doesn't sell to us, there's nothing we can do?"
As she spoke, Yun Jian shook the sewing kit in her hand.
Bai Yuyi was suffocated.
Okay, he's just too naive.
The public chat was still filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"I got it! I'm going out to confront the charred corpse right now! I'll send you feedback later."
"Wow, you're awesome! I'll save the potion for when I encounter a charred corpse!"
"Damn, you guys are too fast! I just clicked in and it was gone. @Tengyun Pavilion, when will the next batch of medicine be available?"
"Same question! Can you send more in the next batch? There's just not enough to go around!"
"@Tengyun Pavilion, I'd like to ask, which big shot developed this potion? Let us pay homage!"
"Yes, yes, we would be extremely grateful if you could tell us the name of the big shot."
However, despite players tagging them repeatedly, the people from Tengyun Pavilion remained evasive and refused to answer.
