The Earth is Online - Chapter 10

[chapter Ten]

The road from Suzhou to Shanghai was indeed blocked a lot. Before he could get on the highway, Tang Mo got out of the car twice, pushed the vehicles blocked on the road away, and made way for the road.

Yes, he pushed all these cars away by himself.

After the Black Tower incident, Tang Mo had already discovered that in addition to possessing supernatural powers, his physical condition and psychological quality had greatly improved.

On the one hand, there are changes in physical conditions. Strength increases, vision improves, recovery increases, and skin becomes hard as iron.

When Tang Mo fooled Qian Sankun into asking him to go to the trunk to get his clothes, he deliberately used the lock of the trunk to test the hardness of his skin. The palm of the hand is one of the most delicate parts of the skin of the human body. The sharp locks cut across the palm without leaving a single wound, not even the pain. So Tang Mo decisively countered Qian Sankun. It was also because of the improvement of his physical condition that the knife Qian Sankun stabbed at his calf failed to pierce his bones, leaving only a bloodstain.

Another aspect is the improvement of psychological quality.

Tang Mo has never been awarded a three-good student award since he was a child, but he has never done anything bad. Petty theft, no; he didn’t even bother to cheat on exams.

This is his first murder.

Even if he fought back in self-defense and accidentally killed Qian Sankun, he also killed him.

But apart from the momentary panic and bewilderment, he quickly calmed down and thought about what to do next.

He also didn’t know if he had become cold-blooded because of the mutation of his body, or if he was just like that.

Tang Mo glanced at the book on the passenger seat from the corner of his eye, turned his eyes away, looked forward calmly, and continued to drive.

The one-hour drive was stretched infinitely because the road had to be cleared. The sky was white with fish belly, Tang Mo had just entered the boundary of Shanghai, and had not yet got off the highway. Two kilometers away from the toll station, seven vehicles rear-ended in a row, blocking the expressway.

Tang Mo got out of the car and started pushing the car.

“crunch-”

At high speed in the open, the sound of tires rubbing on the ground is clear and loud. The rear-end collision of the seven vehicles was serious, and the four vehicles in front had been crushed into discus, smashing the fence in the middle of the expressway. Tang Mo moved the cars one by one from the back to the front. After a long time, he finally moved to the first car.

“Or a luxury car?” Tang Mo laughed.

The first car was a Maserati sports car, the fiery red body was torn apart at the moment. After all, it is a luxury car. After being hit like this, the tires are still embedded in the wheels, and they are not rolling around.

The bleak autumn wind blew past, and Tang Mo pushed the Maserati away. Just as he was about to open his car door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and frowned: “Who?”

It was the rustling wind that answered him.

Tang Mo didn’t open the car door. He stood beside the car, pressed his finger on the match tattoo on his wrist, and asked again coldly, “Who’s there?”

Still no one showed up.

Tang Mo was not in a hurry, he walked towards the Maserati that was pushed away step by step. His steps were light, his body tense, and he was always alert for possible changes. His hand was on the scrapped Maserati body, and he was about to pull it away when he heard a trembling voice: “Don’t, I… I’ll come out, I’ll come out by myself. I have no ill intentions.”

Tang Mo raised his head and looked at the young man who came out from behind the Maserati.

This is a black-haired youth, with a height of 180, wearing a thin white shirt and jeans. His clothes were torn and torn and stained with blood, and he also had several scars on his body, but they were all scarred and no longer bleeding.

In the cold wind, this man’s lips were frozen purple, he raised his hands tremblingly, walked out from behind the car, and looked at Tang Mo in horror.

“I am the owner of this car, and I have no ill intentions. I saw you pushing the cart just now. If I were to attack you, I would definitely do it while you were pushing the cart.”

Tang Mo looked at him, glanced at him for a while, and said, “Why didn’t I find you when I was pushing the cart just now?”

The youth said: “I hid under the expressway just now. It’s too cold here, there’s a lot of grass there, and it’s a little warmer. I drove from Nanjing back to Shanghai yesterday morning, and when I was about to get to Shanghai, the cars behind all crashed for some reason. Come here. When I woke up, I found myself thrown out the window, but I didn’t die. Then I found out…” There was a hint of fear on his face, “I found that in the rear-end cars, there were no Human, not even a drop of blood!”

Tang Mo looked at him lightly, but didn’t let his guard down, and said, “They disappeared. When the Black Tower announced the start of the game, you might be in a coma because of a car accident. Now there are less than 500 million people left in the world. Others People…” Tang Mo stretched out his hand and pointed at the rear-end vehicles, “They all disappeared inexplicably like them.”

The young man opened his eyes wide in fright and shivered in the cold wind. He looked at the cars that were chasing him, then looked at Tang Mo, and said in a low voice, “My home is in Shanghai, you are going to Shanghai, right, you… can you bring me with you? I saw it just now, you are strong It’s big enough to push these cars away. Take me for a ride, I’ll give you money when I go back, and I’ll give you as much as you want.”

Hearing this, Tang Mo smiled softly.

The young man looked at him at a loss.

Tang Mo said, “I’m going to Shanghai, so it’s okay to take you for a ride. But do you think money is still useful in this world?”

The young man froze in place, his face gradually turning pale, it seemed that he understood what kind of world he was about to face.

Tang Mo got into the car, and the young man also got into the passenger seat. Tang Mo calmly removed the book from the car seat and put it on the inside of his seat. He had just put the book away when it slowly disappeared. Tang Mo was a little surprised, but he quickly regained his calm and drove to Shanghai with the young man.

“My name is Li Wen.” The young man wrapped tightly a coat that Tang Mo lent him, and said tremblingly, “Thank you very much. I just woke up less than two hours ago, and I ran to the toll booth in front of me. But there was no one there. I didn’t know what to do and went back to my car and saw you shortly after. You are really strong. My windbreaker was in the car, but the car was squashed , I couldn’t take it out, I almost froze to death.”

“My name is Tang Mo.” Tang Mo asked seemingly casually, “Aren’t you strong enough?”

Li Wen shook his head: “It shouldn’t be very big, anyway, I can’t push those cars away, and I can’t take out my windbreaker.”

“But you’re not dead, are you?”

Hearing this, Li Wen looked at Tang Mo blankly.

Tang Mo drove with one hand and said lightly, “You survived such a big car accident, and you haven’t lost your arms or legs… Don’t you think it’s very wrong?”

Li Wen was stunned.

Tang Mo didn’t say more, and Li Wen lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking. But his expression was all on his face, Tang Mo glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and knew that this person must be thinking, what happened to his body, how can he recover so well, and he is not dead yet.

Tang Mo seemed to drive with ease, but in fact his attention was always on Li Wen.

At times like this, it’s safest to be alone, but it’s even better to have a companion. Li Wen should have participated in a certain black tower game just like him, then survived and won. Tang Mo did not dare to take such a person lightly. However, based on the observation just now, Li Wen seems to be really a stupid, sweet and rich second generation, and there is no threat.

And if he really let the other party continue to stay on the highway foolishly, Tang Mo really felt that… this person might have to kill himself.

Li Wen: “Tang Mo, can you tell me what the Black Tower announced when I was in a coma?”

Tang Mo briefly explained the process of the Black Tower incident.

“Are you going to Shanghai to find relatives? I know well in Shanghai, do you need help?” Li Wen asked.

Although Tang Mo has been to Shanghai several times, he is not a local after all, and it is difficult to find someone. He said: “I’m going to Shibei Li to find a student. I only know her name. I plan to go to the school to find her file first, and then go to her home if she is not at school.” If he wasn’t there, there was nothing he could do. It’s the only thing he can do for the god stick.

Tang Mo didn’t say that he was still planning to find a friend, everyone had to hold back, and he hadn’t put his heart on Li Wen.

Li Wen said, “Shibei Li? It’s in Jing’an District. My home is in Jing’an District, and my junior high school is there. I’ll go with you, it’s convenient.”

Tang Mo looked at Li Wen with a strange expression.

Is this really lack of heart, or is the city government so deep that people can’t figure out what he is thinking?

Tang Mo thought for a while, and felt that it was most likely the former.

Li Wen put on a coat, his body was much warmer, and he talked more.

“Let’s get off the expressway and pass Shibei Li first. Then we’ll go find someone first. Do you know which class the kid is in? If you know the class, it’s easier to find it, and it’s easier to find the file.”

Tang Mo: “I only know her name. By the way, she is in the first year of junior high.”

Li Wen nodded: “If you know it’s the first year of the new year, it’s easier to find it.”

After saying a few more words, Li Wen hesitated for a moment, but still couldn’t help but ask: “Can I ask, Tang Mo, you know… what happened to the black tower? Why did some people disappear and some people didn’t? disappear?”

Having said so much, in the end I just wanted to ask this sentence.

Li Wen had been in a coma from the car accident until now, he had lost a whole day of time and much less information than Tang Mo. He helped Tang Mo, on the one hand, to thank the other party for taking him back to Shanghai, on the other hand, he wanted to obtain information and know his current situation.

But if he asked this, it means that he probably never participated in the Black Tower game.

Tang Mo frowned slightly.

Can people who didn’t play the game survive? He pursed his lips, thought for a while, and figured out how to answer Li Wen. But just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a loud and cheerful singing resounded throughout Shanghai.

“Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you

Let’s all say thank-you

We will all say thank-you

On this special day! ”

After the clear female voice, the children’s chorus sounded. The cheerful and joyful singing is out of tune with the dead city, but it continues to sing. Tang Mo braked immediately, Li Wen raised his head in panic, and looked at the huge black tower suspended above the center of Shanghai.

After the whole “Thanksgiving” children’s song was sung, the multicolored light that flickered on the black tower disappeared. Tang Mo held his breath and looked at the black tower.

Then just listen-

“Ding dong! Fu Wenduo, a smuggler from Huaxia District 1, successfully opened the first floor of the black tower. Three minutes later, players from all over China began to attack the tower!”

“Ding dong! Fu Wenduo, a smuggler from Huaxia District 1, has successfully opened…”

“Ding dong! Fu Wenduo, a smuggler from Huaxia District 1…”

The Black Tower broadcast the information three times for the first time.

Tang Mo’s eyes widened, and the phrase “start to attack the tower” kept echoing in his ears. The next moment, his eyes suddenly darkened, and the whole person fell down.
