Chapter 929: Chapter 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."

Lin Wu: "Don’t you have to light a fire for cooking?"

"But..."

"If there were no gasoline, or if it couldn’t catch fire, would there still be a fire? I’m just a catalyst," Lin Wu said. "The truly evil culprits are the two barrels of oil: diesel and gasoline."

"That makes sense."

Just as he finished speaking, a burst of Gatling fireworks began to fire wildly, hitting the ground and shooting around, forcing everyone to dip their heads into the mud puddle.

After the Gatling’s disturbance ended, Maya lifted her head and said, "Since I met you, I’ve always reminded myself to evaluate the consequences of any of your ideas."

Before Lin Wu could respond, Xiao Rou urgently said: "Xiao Cai is not doing well." Foaming at the mouth, breathing weakly, clearly from inhaling too much black smoke.

Maya said: "Water, bring all the water."

Maya took water and cleaned Xiao Cai’s nostrils and mouth. Xiao Cai’s condition had no specific cure, they had to rely on her body’s own detoxification. Medication was only to protect her bodily functions. Maya shouted: "We need to move her to where there is a flow of fresh air." If Xiao Cai died, Xiao Rou might blame Lin Wu, then he would have no choice but to kill Xiao Rou. That way, Xiao Hua and Xiao Cao would need to die as well.

But where could they find such a place? Just then, the wind direction changed, blowing back towards them. Maya immediately said: "Lin Wu, you and Xiao Rou take turns carrying her, throw away any luggage that needs to be discarded, we keep moving forward."

Lin Wu handed his backpack to Maya, picked up Xiao Cai and Xiao Rou, and ran forward, Xiao Cao taking Xiao Rou’s backpack, Maya carrying Lin Wu’s backpack, while Xiao Hua carried Lin Wu’s medical equipment suitcase. The remaining four suitcases were all discarded.

Lin Wu and Xiao Rou avoided the streets, as the vehicles there were on fire, some emitting black smoke, others waiting to be ignited. They passed through a hardware store, crossed another street, and went through a single-lane road between two factory areas. After sprinting 500 meters in relay, emerging from the cluster of buildings, a breath of fresh air brushed their faces.
