Doomsday

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the balcony, where the fire has not yet spread.

Ryan realized that it was his only chance.

He acted decisively and wrapped the quilt on the bed around himself.

In the face of the flames, Ryan gritted his teeth, took a few steps back, then accelerated and rushed forward with all his might.

Fortunately, the window was only three or four meters away. Ryan sprinted with big strides with great speed and arrived there very quickly.

By this time, the quilt he was wearing had already caught fire.

Ryan hurriedly threw away the burning quilt, opened the French window, and rushed to the balcony.

He breathed heavily on the balcony.

The oxygen in the room had been almost burned out, and coupled with the toxic fumes produced by various combustion, Ryan was dizzy and almost fainted.

Only after breathing in the fresh air did he finally catch his breath and feel a little better.

But just when Ryan had recovered a little, he was shocked to find that it was not only his room that was on fire, but the entire community was on fire.

Looking into the distance from the second floor, he couldn't even see where the end of the fire was.

The fire was growing bigger and bigger, with thicker and more pungent smoke billowing in. Cornered by this fire, Ryan jumped down from the second-floor balcony without even thinking.

The apartment he chose was on the second floor because of the power outage. This time his laziness saved his life.

The second floor was only three or four meters high, so the jump didn't hurt him.

However, though Ryan had escaped from the room, he had fallen into a larger circle of fire.

At this critical moment, he was a little panicked. After all, he had never encountered any danger since he was a child.

The fire got more and more fierce and burning debris constantly fell from the buildings. Ryan knew that he didn't have much time left.

He tried to calm himself down by taking a deep breath and racked his brains to think of a solution.

After racking his brain for a moment, Ryan ran towards the front of the residential building. He remembered that his armored vehicle was still parked there.

It was simply unrealistic to run away from such a big fire on foot.

Moreover, Ryan didn't know where the end of the fire was or which direction was safe. His only hope now was the armored vehicle.

When he rushed to the front, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There was an open area in front of the residential building and there was nothing that could burn, so the armored vehicle was not affected by the fire.

He got in the car, started the engine quickly, and rushed out of the community.

On the road, he finally saw clearly what was happening.

Almost everything that could burn had caught fire in the community. Trees and buildings were ablaze.

Looking further away, there were flames everywhere, and Ryan didn't know where they came from.

The nonstop heavy rain and gusty wind made the whole thing even more eerie.

At this moment, the whole world abounds with water, fire and wind.

Ryan finally panicked. He had thought that this game was very easy.

Now it seemed that he was too naive.

The rain had been falling for no apparent reason from the beginning, the evil wind had also blown up out of nowhere, and now the fire was also acting weirdly.

Ryan clearly remembered that the fire was more than ten kilometers away. It not only did not go out in the heavy rain, but instead burned to the apartment he lived in his sleep.

Ryan's heart sank. All this showed that the game had begun to be difficult and it had become a real survival game. Everything would only get harder and harder.

Thinking of it, Ryan began to search for a safe direction in the sea of fire. He should at least get out of the sea of fire first. But all he could see was a huge fire that stretched as far as the eye could see, and he couldn't see the road at all.

Ryan looked around anxiously for a moment, and then he fixed his eyes on the car navigation. There was an offline map of Fallford in this armored vehicle that could be used without a GPS.

He quickly entered the route to Eastice into the navigation and started the car according to the instructions.

The gas pipeline and gas station that Ryan ignited was in the east, while Eastice was in the west. He didn't think that the fire could burn from the east of the city to the west.

Ryan drove at maximum speed and rushed towards Eastice as indicated by the navigation.

Along the way, the buildings on both sides of the streets were burning, lighting up the entire sky.

The heavy rain showed no signs of extinguishing the fires, instead, it made them burn more vigorously.

It looked like the end of the world.

From time to time, bits of fire fell from the sky and landed on the streets.

The main road was all concrete and there was nothing flammable, so Ryan could still drive out smoothly.

Fragments that fell from the nearby buildings could not stop the huge armored vehicle either. They were easily crushed or crashed into.

Ryan drove forward anxiously for at least seven to eight kilometers before finally getting out of the burning area.

He stopped at a safe distance, climbed to the top of a nearby building with more than ten floors, and looked into the distance while panting.

As Ryan looked over, his entire body froze. At least half of the area within his sight was covered in fire, and it was still spreading, setting more places on fire.

The scene looked like the doomsday scenes in disaster movies, which was not only shocking but also terrifying.

It was immersive and Ryan was greatly impressed.

He stared at it for a moment and gave a wry jeer.

He had earned this himself.

"If I die in the game, will I die in reality?"

Ryan couldn't help but try to confirm it with the game prompt again.

At the beginning, the game prompt had said that if the player died in the game, he would become brain dead in real life.

Ryan paid little attention back then, because he believed that no danger would occur in this world without any living things and that there was no reason he should die.

But in just one night, he was at first almost killed in a bomb and then almost burned to death.

The risk was so high that Ryan had to confirm it once again.

"Death in the game world will make the player's consciousness die in the game world. In reality, the players will lose consciousness and become brain dead."

The reconfirmation made Ryan stupefied for a moment.

He couldn't accept that failing in the game would cost his own life.

The game was sick. Ryan didn't think it would be legally accepted anywhere in the real world.

"Can I just give up the game and quit?"

"Game has begun. Exiting ahead of time will be considered a failure."

Ryan was gobsmacked, then he couldn't help but get furious. It was obvious that he was not even given a choice.

If he continued playing, he might get killed. If he gave up, he would be killed right away.

"Fuck you!

"I didn't want to play your crappy game in the first place!

"Why are you forcing me? Let me out!"
