Chapter 929 - 403 Fire Street_3
In the game, holding one’s breath is represented by a white line, during which the body doesn’t feel discomfort. But in True Hardcore Mode, it isn’t so; the longer you hold your breath, the more unbearable it becomes, until it feels like your lungs are about to explode. Still, Lin Wu dares not breathe in, as the air is filled with black smoke, irritating his eyes and constantly bringing tears, one breath and he could be immortal.
Moreover, the temperature nearby is very high, just linger a bit longer and it might be time to sprinkle some cumin on it.
Exiting the street, Maya has already returned to assist. She took Xiao Cai from him, and Lin Wu knelt on the ground, vomiting and coughing. Maya pulled him up swiftly, as there was no choice but to run; the fire had spread to the new district.
Lin Wu followed Maya, the spring breeze stirring trouble, blowing the black smoke and fire towards their direction. But Maya had found a water puddle, or rather a mud pit in an empty space. Xiao Hua, Xiao Cao, and Xiao Rou all crouched in the mud pit, with Maya passing Xiao Cai to Xiao Rou, then both she and Lin Wu dove into the mud pit.
They didn’t continue because the road ahead was also ignited, and they were completely surrounded by the fire. Before they could even communicate, hundreds of meters away, a fireworks factory became ignited, sending countless fireworks flying around, accompanied by constant explosions, shooting up into the sky. Lin Wu reflexively complained: "How can these still light up when wet?"
Little White Rabbit: "They’ve been dried."
Xiao Cao lay next to Lin Wu, most of his body in the muddy water, and said to Lin Wu: "Lin Wu, if this isn’t the apocalypse, this fire of yours would have you sitting out your sentence in prison."
Lin Wu disagreed: "I didn’t do it."
Xiao Cao: "I saw you light the fire."
