Cheng Lin's desire to explore completely disappeared.
Because he found that the world that had experienced fire from the sky and rain for several months was really desolate.
The urban buildings that used to be as dense as forests have long since collapsed into a pile of ruins.
Cheng Lin was not sure how high the temperature of the sun had risen before, but now he had an estimate in his mind.
"At least it's several thousand degrees, maybe tens of thousands of degrees."
His academic performance was not good because his parents had a very bad family relationship since he was a child, so they did not care much about him. This also made Cheng Lin feel tired of studying for a time. Although his IQ is not low, his learning ability is even better than that of ordinary peers.
Better, but his grades are still not good.
This leads to the fact that no matter how hard we try, we still cannot remember the melting points of concrete, steel bars, masonry pavements, etc.
I only vaguely remember it being around a few thousand degrees.
And being able to burn the city into a charred black mixture is enough to illustrate the horror of the temperature.
Yes, a lump.
Cheng Lin could only describe the scenery in front of him this way.
Most of the ground beneath your feet is in a black glaze state, but the terrain is undulating.
He seemed to be walking in a cemetery of human civilization. Apart from the barely flat ground, there were only charred lumps of mixture in the distance, like tombs.
Some are taller and some are shorter.
The original appearance is completely lost.
[Solidified substance: a mixture of substances formed after melting at high temperature and then cooling]
When Cheng Lin touched those lumpy things with his hands, he automatically gave this verbal explanation in his mind.
"A mixture?"
Cheng Lin touched other parts and the ground, and got the same information.
He immediately realized that this should be a fusion of steel, masonry, plastic and other materials in the city. Because of its complex composition, it had such a general name.
Maybe there are still human body remains here.
"But if the temperature is that high, I'm afraid even the bones will be burned away."
Cheng Lin murmured to himself that the city had become ruins. He looked into the distance and saw almost the same scene as far as his eyes could reach. The city had never been so open.
After trying it for a while, he stopped trying.
But move forward.
After the rain, the ground is still damp and wet, and there is still water accumulated in some potholes, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
Cheng Lin looked up and was pleased to find that the sky was so clear.
The blue sky seemed to have been washed by water, pure, flat, distant, natural, cloudless, and as bright as a baby's eyes.
"It's so beautiful."
Cheng Lin couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Living in the city for a long time, he had not seen such a clear sky for a long time. The haze, urban light pollution, noise, exhaust... all of them disappeared. There was only the gentle sound of wind in his ears, and it was extremely quiet.
.
[You witness the ruins of the post-apocalyptic city and feel that civilization is so fragile. You look up and see the most beautiful nature. You feel so open-minded that you can't help but admire.]
Cheng Lin had become accustomed to the sound in his mind and had no reaction when he heard it, just treating it as background sound.
After sighing, Cheng Lin decided to move forward.
He didn't have any expectations, but after climbing over a ruined hill, his eyes suddenly lit up.
There were dazzling reflections in the pile of ruins ahead.
"What?"
Cheng Lin hurriedly walked over, squatted down, and peeled away some wet dust.
Then the shiny golden substance was revealed.
[You are suddenly attracted by a ray of light, walk over, and are surprised to find that it is a small piece of gold]
[Gold solidified in ruins: formed after melting at high temperatures and then cooling and solidifying]
"Gold?"
Cheng Lin was surprised. The piece of gold was not big. It was embedded in the black solidified substance and only a little bit was exposed.
He blinked and used the location of his home as a coordinate to recall the original buildings nearby.
Cheng Lin had a good sense of direction, and he quickly remembered that there seemed to be a gold shop nearby.
"It seems to be called Eslite House..."
It seems that this place should be the ruins of the gold shop. Unexpectedly, the gold still maintains its original color.
"I seem to remember a teacher saying that gold is a very rare metal that exists in a simple form in nature. I didn't expect it to be true. This store really didn't cheat."
Cheng Lin couldn't help but smile, and suddenly his eyes moved, wondering if he could dig out the gold and take it away.
Although it has been solidified together, there is a toolbox in my "safe house", and I should be able to chop it with an axe.
But as soon as this thought arose, cold water was poured on it.
[An evil thought arises in your heart, and you want to take the gold as your own, but you are shocked to find that the things here cannot be taken away at all]
Cheng Lin: "..."
What is evil thought?
Can you speak words?
This is obviously an ownerless thing, okay?
Cheng Lin was furious, but he finally knew that he couldn't take the things in this world with him, which made him disappointed.
"So, the only thing I can get is the so-called mission reward."
Cheng Lin thought to himself, no longer lingering, and continued to move forward.
After walking about a few hundred meters, I suddenly received a prompt.
[After some hard work, you have completed the exploration mission]
[The mission is completed. You have successfully experienced a trend of civilization. Before leaving, you decided to leave a mark to prove that you have been here. You thought for a while and decided to carve your name.]
[Tip: After carving your name, please return to the safe house. The deduction will end, and task rewards will be distributed after the end]
…
Cheng Lin was helpless, but he quite agreed with the message.
When you come to the ruins of civilization, you should carve a message as a souvenir.
He turned back to the safe house, dug out the tool box from the room, and found a hammer and a delicate chisel.
He went back outside the house, found a fairly flat "hill" surface, and engraved his name on it.
After finishing, he returned to the house with the tool box.
[You have returned to the safe house. Do you want to end this deduction? 】
It seems that this still requires manual confirmation.
Cheng Lin nodded decisively: "Yes!"
[The deduction will end in 10 seconds...10,9,8...0]
【End of deduction!】
The scenery outside the window suddenly blurred, and the ground shook slightly. This time Cheng Lin was mentally prepared and was not very nervous.
After a few seconds, everything returned to normal.
He looked out the window again...
Cars are driving on the streets in summer, and they occasionally make honking sounds, which attracts the dissatisfaction of pedestrians on the roadside.
A girl in a white skirt was walking under a street tree.
Those trees are very strong, and the branches and leaves they have repaired are lush, green, and extremely normal.
Everything is restored.
"It's indeed fake."
Cheng Lin stood in front of the window, took a deep breath, and let go of his palms, which were already wet with sweat.
It wasn't until this moment that he was completely sure.
Turning to look at the computer...
On the screen was the background image of that universe, the only red button, and the line of small words:
[At every moment, there are a million possibilities for the direction of civilization]
Cheng Lin suddenly shuddered.
So exciting...
"By the way, where is my reward?"
Cheng Lin suddenly remembered this matter.
[Congratulations on completing Chapter: Doomsday (Sky Fire), rewards have begun]
[Reward character attribute fire resistance +3]
…
Cheng Lin stood there for a while to make sure there was nothing else.
There is only one reward.
"Attribute? Fire resistance +3? What is this?"
Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment. According to his familiar explanation, the full name of this fire resistance should be "fire resistance". In online games, it is usually an attribute of a certain piece of equipment. After wearing it, fire damage will be reduced or the like.
Is this what fire resistance means?
Is it added directly to your body?
Are you more resistant to fire now than before?
Cheng Lin was a little confused, but he couldn't try it. He didn't feel any changes in his body. He couldn't just light it on fire and try it himself, right?
He is not mentally retarded.
[Chapter: Doomsday (Skyfire) has been classified in the history database]
Suddenly there was another reminder.
Cheng Lin came to the computer and found a very inconspicuous word "History Database" in the lower right corner of the screen.
When you click on it, you will see a new interface with a picture saying "Doomsday (Sky Fire)" lying there quietly.
Translucent.
I tried clicking it, but there was no response at all. It should be unclickable.
"This should be equivalent to a historical record or an achievement medal."
Cheng Lin did some operations and realized.
At this time, suddenly, the chat software hanging in the lower right corner of the computer started shaking.
There is a message.
Cheng Lin thought for a while, turned off this inexplicable space and starry sky interface, and then clicked on the message reminder.
It's news in the class group.
To be precise, it was the former Class 3 group of senior high school students. After the college entrance examination, the group leader was transferred from the class teacher to the monitor, and the name of the group was changed to "Forever Class 3".
Because most of the students live in this city and their homes are not far away, it is more convenient to organize outings in the group.
I took a look and saw that it was a message from @all staff from the squad leader.
Monitor: "Is everyone here? Are you here? You know, right? Something happened near my house just now!!"
Several group members bubbled up to reply.
"What's wrong? What happened again?"
"Yes, is it possible that you saw someone awakening again? Or is there a spiritual place near your home?"
"Master monitor, your wolf-crying routine is no longer working. All day long you are either fantasizing about awakening or feeling that spiritual energy is gathering around you... You should save it. The government took blood tests before and concluded that you have no talent...
…”
The students all know the routines of their monitors and have become immune to them.
However, this time, the monitor was particularly excited.
"It's true this time! Something really happened! Don't believe it! It's definitely a supernatural phenomenon! I bet it has something to do with aura!"
With that said, he sent another video.
Cheng Lin kept looking at the screen without saying anything, so he clicked it casually.
Then he was stunned.
The video was shot with a mobile phone, and the scene captured was the scene outside the window. In the picture, an unconstructed construction site in the city was actually covered with a layer of translucent shadow!
The image was in an illusory state, like a mirage or a 3D projection, appearing on the construction site.
As for the content of the picture, it is a black ruin.
The dark, as if burned, pitted ground is dotted with large and small "grave mounds". From the camera, you can see that the surface of those materials is in a glazed state. It seems that they have experienced high temperatures, but some pits are filled with
The water is wet, giving people the feeling that it has just rained.
This mirage-like phantom occupies the entire construction site. At this moment, many people are already watching and taking photos nearby.
This scene is so magical that even though it has been several months since the spiritual energy was revived, people are still attracted to it.
They had never heard that the revival of spiritual energy would cause such a strange scene to appear.
The class group has already exploded.
In front of the computer, Cheng Lin felt short of breath.
That scene was clearly deduced by me just now!
How could it be projected into reality?
Could it be that the scenarios you deduced will be projected in the real world?
