The other players were confused about what Ye Nianchu and Qin Mubai were planning. Because of Qin Mubai’s strong presence, they hesitated with their weapons.
Ye Nianchu took the homemade torch and alcohol. While Qin Mubai blocked the attacks from other players, he pushed them out of the cabin.
Now the opponents realized what they were doing. “Are you both crazy? Burning the shelter with so many face spiders outside? You’ll all die!”
They thought these two were insane and wanted to drag them down too. As the attacks outside got stronger, Ye Nianchu opened a bottle, poured half of it on the wood pile, then lit the torch and threw it on.
The rainforest air was too humid, so to be safe, she smashed the rest of the alcohol against the wall to spread the flames faster.
They still had two more bottles of alcohol, so they could use them.
The fire roared to life, quickly drying out the cabin.
Outside, the players were too shocked to attack; they only thought about the shelter being gone. Countless face spiders would rush in and kill everyone.
No one expected these two planned to burn the shelter from the start and had prepared the wood.
Some realized they needed to grab a pot to get water from the creek to put out the fire, but the face spiders blocked their way.
“It’s too late,” Ye Nianchu stepped out of the cabin and laughed softly. “With several S-class players in your team, you didn’t even notice you were being used?”
“Don’t try to divide us!”
“Without S-class players, could you force us to burn the shelter? It might be ruthless, but in a survival game, it’s about winning and losing. I admire your tactics.”
Her words made the remaining players cautious, looking around nervously.
Wu Long’s face changed; he was badly injured. If people found out he was an S-class player, he’d be dead for sure.
He Miao showed no reaction; she looked at Ye Nianchu, then focused on Qin Mubai.
He was unexpectedly strong.
If she had known, she should have tried to team up with him from the start.
With her skills, they had no reason to refuse.
To He Miao, strong teammates were allies, while weaker ones were just tools.
Qin Mubai stepped in front of Ye Nianchu as the fire quickly consumed the cabin. The face spiders charged in, and chaos erupted between players and the BOSS.
If they couldn’t escape, they would die.
Ye Nianchu handed her long knife to Qin Mubai and switched to a shorter one.
The long knife was heavy; she needed a lighter weapon to cut the spider webs.
As the fine webs came at them, Ye Nianchu and Qin Mubai worked together to cut them and take down the first face spider that jumped at them.
Morning light fully broke, and Shelter 2 was no more.
They truly had no way out and had to fight. As they cut webs and defeated face spiders, they searched for an escape route.
Luckily, they had sprayed insect repellent earlier, so the insects following the blood didn’t come for them.
In their struggle for survival, Ye Nianchu’s unlock progress increased a bit, reaching 37.
However, that little increase felt almost pointless.
At 8 AM, the system appeared on time.
It was now the seventh day of the game, with 32 surviving players, including 5 S-class players.
