The brightness of the sun has illuminated the entire world white.
The temperature outside has reached a terrifying value.
Trees, people, animals, and man-made flammable items all turned into fly ash in an instant.
Only then did those hiding in the room realize what was happening.
Some people seemed to have walked out without understanding the situation, but were instantly swept away by the heat wave and burned.
The people hiding in the building did not last long.
They also fell down one after another.
The temperature is still rising at a terrifying rate!
The metal starts to melt!
Cheng Lin first noticed the cars on the road. The metal parts after the explosion suddenly softened and turned into liquid in a few breaths!
Then, there are buildings.
The high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete suddenly looked like snowmen in the sun, or like ice cream placed outside in summer. The originally hard edges and corners suddenly softened, and the tall bodies began to collapse.
Cheng Lin saw with his own eyes that a dozen-story building opposite had completely softened and collapsed.
Reminds him of burning melted candles.
It seemed that there was no sound, or maybe the crashing rumbles were ignored by him under the strong visual impact.
In short, in Cheng Lin's consciousness, the world became silent.
The bustling city collapsed in just a few dozen seconds, turning this big city into a sea of fire in an instant.
This scene cannot be simulated by any movie special effects.
It is filled with an atmosphere of despair and a complete sense of powerlessness in the face of the forces of nature.
At this time, information appeared in Cheng Lin's mind again:
[Due to changes in celestial bodies, the temperature of the sun has increased significantly in a very short period of time, and the world has turned into a sea of flames in front of you. You are faced with this greatest horror that you have never seen in your life, and your heart is filled with some inexplicable emotions]
This passage seems to be an explanation or description of what happened.
It feels a bit similar to the narration of some first-person games.
Cheng Lin watched this scene silently. Being independent since childhood, he had a calmness that was beyond his peers, which helped him wake up from the shock.
"Is this the sky fire? The doomsday caused by the sky fire?"
No one answered his question.
At this time, Cheng Lin calmed down.
Because he found that although the world outside the window had turned into a doomsday, his room was still intact without any changes.
Especially when he thought of the word "deduction" mentioned in the previous message, he realized that the scene in front of him might not be true.
Just as this thought arose, another message appeared in my mind:
[You quickly calmed down and frowned, realizing that all this was not that simple]
Cheng Lin couldn't help but interrupt: "I'm not frowning, so don't add drama to me!"
【……】
The message fell silent, and then continued after a moment:
[You stand in front of the window and start to look at the world. The temperature of the sun begins to drop slowly. The fire sweeps across the world and burns for ten days. Ten days later, the rain comes.]
The scenery outside the window began to change rapidly, and time seemed to be speeding up.
Cheng Lin had completely calmed down by this time.
Now that he realized that this was not true, he felt relieved and turned to observe with an interesting attitude.
The flames gradually dwindled, and then dense leaden clouds appeared in the sky.
With a roar, the electric snake tore open the silent world.
The rain fell, eliminating the flames and the high temperature on the surface. Large vapors formed by the rain filled Cheng Lin's field of vision, hindering his observation.
[Water vapor has enveloped the world and seriously interfered with your vision. You unexpectedly discovered that the window glass can be zoomed in and out like a screen. You are pleasantly surprised]
Cheng Lin: "..."
Well, he found that the information prompts in his mind were quite considerate.
He stretched out two fingers, pressed them on the window glass, and then easily zoomed in on the scenery outside the window, just like zooming in on photos and maps on his phone.
Cheng Lin tried to shrink the boundary, and later discovered that he could shrink the picture to the point where he could completely observe the earth.
The earth at this moment is no longer blue, but has become a white air mass, making it difficult to see clearly.
However, as time accelerated, the situation quickly changed.
[This rain actually lasted for three full months. When the water vapor dispersed, you found that the dried ocean had water again, but there was no life on the entire earth.]
Indeed, just as the information in his mind described, Cheng Lin saw the entire earth through zooming.
After the heavy rain, the ocean reappeared, the flames were completely gone, and the surface returned to normal temperatures.
But no life has been observed on the entire planet.
"If there is, it probably only exists very deep underground."
Cheng Lin said to himself.
It's a pity that he can't see those.
He believed that there must be simple life such as bacteria and viruses in this world, but larger intelligent creatures... he had no expectations.
[The world has temporarily returned to stability, you decide to go out and have a look]
Cheng Lin: "..."
I didn’t have this idea at all, okay?
Don't make trouble for others!
Although he complained in his heart, Cheng Lin was suddenly reminded that he really wanted to go out and take a look.
"Do I need to bring anything? Is the outside environment suitable for me to survive?"
Cheng Lin thought for a moment and asked.
This time the message finally came back:
[When you come to the door, you start to hesitate, wondering if you should bring something, but then you realize that your worries are completely unnecessary]
Cheng Lin: "..."
He didn't even bother to complain. He didn't seem to know how to talk about this information and had to mince words to reveal anything.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you."
Cheng Lin shook his head, came to the door, changed into a pair of shoes, and turned the doorknob.
At this time, a sense of infinite expectation suddenly arose in his heart.
The scene before him seemed to be a ray of light shining into his boring life, making him suddenly full of curiosity about the world.
"Speaking of which, this is the fifth floor. If I just go out like this..."
Thinking of this, Cheng Lin stepped out of the door.
Outside the door is flat ground.
The ground is not soil, but a stone surface similar to colored glaze. It is bumpy and uneven, and appears translucent black.
The air...is very fresh.
There is a feeling like after a new rain in an empty mountain. The temperature is slightly cool, there is a breeze, and the body feels comfortable.
It seemed that the information in his mind did not lie to him.
Cheng Lin was feeling it when he suddenly received new information.
This time it was a long list:
[You walked out of the door and took the first step after the end of the world]
[Enable the mission system, please follow the prompts and complete the mission. After completion, the deduction will automatically end and you will receive rewards]
[Task: Explore the surrounding area]
[You feel very comfortable, and the familiar yet unfamiliar world gives you a desire to explore]
Cheng Lin was stunned and stood at the door for a full minute before he came back to his senses.
Task?
Get rewards for completing tasks?
Indeed it is!
Cheng Lin became excited. This was indeed the way to play the game.
This picture, this plot, this feeling, this... this mission...
"It's so simple."
There is no life that can pose a threat to him. The only worry is how large the exploration range is.
Only then did Cheng Lin have time to look back at his house.
Then I unexpectedly discovered that the appearance of my house had changed. The residence that was originally on the fifth floor had turned into a bungalow with red bricks and green tiles. It had a retro feel and a strange exotic feel.
As I watched, the house suddenly "diminished".
It's like a painting that suddenly faded.
The entire room became translucent.
[Safe House: After you walk out, it will become translucent. Other life forms cannot be seen, touched, sensed, or destroyed... It will always follow you. When you die unexpectedly, it will be there.
Resurrection in the safe house]
"oh?"
Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows, tried it, and found that it was indeed the case.
No matter how many steps I take, this house will follow me. When I touch its door, it will become solid again. Otherwise, it will always be translucent.
Cheng Lin suddenly felt at ease.
The rear area is so secure, what else is there to worry about?
He can even be resurrected, he is simply invincible.
He immediately picked up his mood and started exploring the area.
I want to try to see if I can find anything valuable.
