Leo used up his last bit of strength and finally managed to prop himself up, climbing onto the roof in a sorry state. He lay there, his chest heaving violently, each breath feeling like a struggle with death. At that moment, the factory behind him, where he had once run in despair, suddenly let out a deafening roar. Leo turned to look and saw flames shooting into the sky, the factory appearing like a monstrous creature devouring everything, ultimately collapsing completely in the blaze.
Quickly, a crowd gathered around, some shouting in terror, others hurriedly pulling out their phones to call for help. Faced with this sudden disaster, people's reactions varied, but all revealed panic and helplessness. Leo rolled onto his back, gazing at the dark yet starry night sky, filled with complex emotions. He was grateful that he had made the decision to leap at the last moment, otherwise, he might have already become a part of that sea of flames.
The firelight reflected on Leo's face, in his eyes there was both the shock of narrowly escaping death and the anticipation of the unknown future. This escape was not only a challenge to his physical limits, but also a test of his willpower. After experiencing the ordeal of life and death, Leo came to understand even more the preciousness and fragility of life.
At that moment, Leo decided not to let his life be threatened or controlled anymore. He knew that from that moment on, his life would open a new chapter. Even though the road ahead was unknown and filled with difficulties, he was ready to face everything because he believed that as long as he was alive, there would be endless possibilities.
After escaping from the ruins of the fire, Leo steadily searches for the emergency exit near the neighboring factory. The massive fire and explosions at the adjacent factory have caused great panic, with the employees huddling together, their faces a mix of shock and confusion. They are completely unaware of Leo's presence, as his figure becomes almost invisible in the chaos.
As Leo steps into the emergency exit, his body finally begins to feel the aftermath of the recent escape. With the adrenaline wearing off, the pain and soreness that had been suppressed by tension begin to flood his mind. Each step becomes heavy, especially in the areas that were just hit by metal fragments. The burnt skin brings a stinging sensation, as if countless needles were pricking his flesh.
Leo gritted his teeth and forced himself to keep moving forward. He knew that now was not the time to stop, he had to take advantage of being able to move and find a safe place for some basic treatment. Though his steps were unsteady, his gaze was determined, not letting the pain affect his determination to move forward.
As he ventured deeper into the emergency passage, the surrounding sounds gradually disappeared, replaced only by his own heavy breathing and footsteps. At this moment, Leo seemed to be in a solitary struggle with his own body and will. Every step forward was a challenge to his physical limits and a testament to the resilience of life.
In the end, Leo found a relatively quiet corner, leaned against the wall, and began to inspect his injuries. Although his face showed signs of pain, his eyes revealed an indomitable spirit. After this life-and-death test, Leo became even more convinced that with determination, there is nothing that cannot be overcome.
Sitting in a dim corner, Leo examined his wounds with pain. The fire left not only physical injuries but also deep-seated emotional scars. His hands were covered with severe burns, and the swollen, painful skin from the flames made every touch excruciating. In desperation, Leo tore off his sleeve and clumsily wrapped it around his most severely injured hands, attempting to provide basic protection and relief.
Despite the ongoing pain in his body, Leo's greater concern was a sense of urgent mission. He remembered the purpose of his journey - to complete the mission, prove his abilities, and join the Valkyrie mercenary group. This was his opportunity to regain his dignity and start a new life, and no matter how heavy the cost, he would not allow himself to give up.
So, leaning against the wall for support, Leo slowly stood up. Every time he stood up, it felt like a struggle against the pain in his body, but his heart was filled with unwavering determination. Even though the road ahead was unknown and his physical condition made him unsteady, he knew that as long as he could return to the bar and report to Alex, he still had hope.
Leo slowly walked out of the emergency exit, pushed open the door leading to the real world, and was greeted by the familiar street. His body seemed to be weighed down by an invisible burden, and every step was incredibly heavy. His eyelids felt as heavy as if they were laden with lead, and every muscle and bone in his body seemed to be protesting against moving forward. But even so, Leo persisted, shuffling towards the roadside.
At that moment, a fire truck whizzed by and stopped in front of a burning house not far away. Firefighters quickly got out of the truck and began busy with disaster relief work. Their professional movements and decisive actions stood out in the firelight. A crowd gathered around, some with tense expressions, others whispering to each other, creating a chaotic scene.
In the midst of chaos, Leo's gaze was unwavering. He spotted a taxi parked not far away, and it seemed to be his only hope. Despite every cell in his body seemingly telling him "no more," his will was unusually strong. With all the strength he had left, he waved his arms, trying to get the attention of the taxi driver.
The taxi driver seemed to notice the person standing by the road, smelling of burnt, and looking exhausted and determined. He slowly drove towards Leo and stopped in front of him. With almost the last bit of strength, Leo dragged his heavy feet towards the taxi, opened the door, and struggled to get in.
