A Million Possible

Chapter 2 Exploration

The world is burning.

The brightness of the sun has illuminated the whole world white.

The outdoor temperature has reached a terrifying value.

Trees, people, animals, and those man-made flammable objects all turned into fly ash in an instant.

At this time, the people hiding in the room realized what had happened.

Someone seemed to walk out without knowing the situation, but was instantly swept by the heat wave and burned.

The people hiding in the building did not hold on for long.

Also fell 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 became liquid in a few breaths!

Then, there are buildings.

The high-rise buildings built of reinforced concrete suddenly resemble a snowman in the sun and an ice cream placed outdoors in summer. The original hard edges and corners suddenly softened, and the tall body began to collapse.

Cheng Lin saw with his own eyes a ten-story building on the opposite side was completely softened and collapsed.

It reminded him of burning and melting candles.

It seemed silent, or the rumbling that collapsed was ignored by him under this strong visual impact.

In short, in Cheng Lin’s consciousness, the world became silent.

The prosperous city collapsed in just a few tens of seconds, and this big city turned into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

This scene cannot be simulated by any movie special effects.

It was filled with a breath of despair, and a complete sense of powerlessness in the face of natural forces.

At this time, a message appeared in Cheng Lin’s mind again:

[Due to the changes in celestial bodies, the temperature of the sun increased sharply in a very short period of time. Ascension, the world turned into a sea of ​​flames in front of you. You are facing this unprecedented horror in your life, and your heart is filled with some inexplicable emotions]

This text 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. He had a calmness beyond his peers since he was independent, which helped him wake up from the shock.

“This is Skyfire? The doomsday caused by Skyfire?”

No one answered his question.

At this time, Cheng Lin calmed down instead.

Because he found that although outside the window had become the doomsday, his room was still intact without any changes.

Especially when he thought of the word “deduction” in the previous message, he realized that the scene before him might not be true.

This idea just came up, and another message appeared in my mind:

[You calm down quickly, frowning and realizing that it’s not that simple]

Cheng Lin couldn’t help but interrupted: “I didn’t frown, don’t add drama to me!”

【……】

The message went silent, and then continued after a while:

[You stand in front of the window and start to look at the world. The temperature of the sun begins to slowly drop. This fire swept the world and burned for ten days. After ten days, the rain came.]

The scenery outside the window began to change rapidly, and time seemed to accelerate.

Cheng Lin had completely calmed down at this time.

Now that he realized that this was not true, he was relieved and turned to observe with an interesting state of mind.

The flames gradually diminished, and dense lead-grey clouds appeared in the sky.

With a bang, the electric snake tore apart the silent world.

When the rain fell, the flames and the high temperature on the ground surface were eliminated, and the large swaths of steam formed by the rain flooded Cheng Lin’s vision and hindered his observation.

[Water vapor envelopes the world and severely interferes with your vision. You unexpectedly find that the window glass can be zoomed like a screen. You are very surprised]

Cheng Lin: “…”

Well, he found that the information prompts in his mind were quite understanding.

Extending two fingers and pressing on the window glass, he easily zoomed out the scenery outside the window just like zooming photos and maps on a mobile phone.

Cheng Lin tried to narrow the boundary, and then discovered that he could at most reduce the picture to a complete observation of the earth.

The earth at this moment is no longer a azure blue, but a white air mass, and the situation cannot be seen clearly.

However, under the acceleration of time, the situation quickly changed.

[This rain actually lasted for three full months. When the water vapor dissipated, you found that the dry ocean had water again, but there was no vitality on the entire earth]

Indeed, as described by the information in his mind, Cheng Lin saw the whole picture of the earth through zooming.

After the heavy rain, the ocean reappeared, the flames had been completely informed, and the ground surface returned to normal temperature.

But no life was observed on the entire planet.

“If there is, it can only exist deep underground.”

Cheng Lin said to himself.

It’s a pity that he can’t see those.

He believes that there must be simple lives of bacteria and viruses in this world, but larger intelligent creatures…do not report any expectations.

[The world has temporarily restored stability, you decide to go out and have a look]

Cheng Lin: “…”

I didn’t even think about it, okay?

Don’t add drama to people!

Although complaining in his heart, Cheng Lin was reminded all of a sudden that he really wanted to go out and have a look.

“Do I need to bring something? Is the outside environment suitable for me to survive?”

Cheng Lin thought for a while and asked.

This time the message finally replied:

[When you come to the door, you start to hesitate, wondering if you want to bring something, but then you discover that your own worries are completely unnecessary]

Cheng Lin: “…”

He didn’t bother to spit out, this information seemed to be incapable of speaking well, and it would be oblivious to reveal anything.

“Too lazy to care about you.”

Cheng Lin shook his head, came to the door, changed his shoes, and unscrewed the doorknob.

At this time, an infinite sense of expectation suddenly rose in his heart.

The scene in front of him seemed to be a light shot into his boring life, making him suddenly full of curiosity about this world.

“Speaking of which I am on the fifth floor, if I just go out like this…”

Thinking of this, Cheng Lin stepped out.

Outside the door is the flat ground.

The ground is not soil, but a kind of stone surface similar to colored glaze, pits and pits, very uneven, showing a translucent black.

The air… is fresh.

There is a feeling of empty mountains after a new rain, the temperature is slightly cool, there is a breeze, and the body feels comfortable.

It seems that the information in his mind did not deceive him.

Cheng Lin was feeling it, and suddenly received a new message.

This time it was a long list:

[You walked out of the door and took the first step after the doomsday][Open the mission system, please follow the prompts, complete the mission, the deduction will automatically end after completion, and you will be rewarded][Task: Explore the surrounding area][You feel very comfortable, the familiar and unfamiliar world makes you have a desire to explore]

Cheng Lin was taken aback, stood at the door for a full minute before he came back to his senses.

Task?

Get rewards for completing tasks?

it is as expected!

Cheng Lin got excited, this is really the way of the game.

This picture, this plot, this feeling, this…this task…

“It’s so simple.”

No life can pose a threat to him, the only worry is the scope of exploration.

Only then did Cheng Lin have time to look back at own house.

Then I accidentally discovered that the appearance of my house had changed. The house that was originally on the fifth floor had become a bungalow, with red bricks and green tiles, a little retro, and a little strange and exotic.

As Own watched, the house suddenly “diminished”.

It was like a painting, suddenly faded.

The entire room became a translucent state.

[Safe House: After you walk out, it will become translucent. Other life cannot be seen, touched, sensed, or destroyed… It will always follow you behind. When you die unexpectedly, it will be in Resurrection in the safe house]

“Oh?”

Cheng Lin raised his brows, tried it, and found that it was so.

No matter if I take a few steps forward, the room will follow behind me. When I touch its door, it will become an entity again, otherwise it will always be translucent.

Cheng Lin felt relieved at once.

The rear is so secure, what else can I worry about?

It can even be resurrected, it is invincible.

He immediately cleared up his mood and explored the neighborhood.

I want to try if I can find something valuable.
