The Earth is Online - Chapter 128
[Chapter 128]
After Fu Wenduo checked the surrounding environment, he returned to the abandoned building. At this time, Tang Mo and Fu Wensheng had already packed their things and were waiting for him to set off together. Fu Wenduo glanced at Tang Mo, then at his stupid brother, and said, “No problem, let’s go.”
The three set off to leave the building.
Suddenly, Fu Wenduo turned his head and looked at Tang Mo. Tang Mo immediately closed his eyes.
Fu Wenduo raised his brows.
… something seems to be wrong?
The bright sun shone on the ground, illuminating the ground with a faint golden color. This building is very close to the laboratory address given by Luofengcheng. Fu Wenduo’s home was known to the Tianxuan organization, and Fu Wensheng’s home was not safe. Fu Xiaodi’s father works in the government and is quite famous in Beijing. Even if Tianxuan couldn’t get Tang Mo’s location coordinates, he could find Fu Wensheng’s home address from government documents and set up an ambush there.
So the three planned to first find the research materials from the United States that Luo Fengcheng said, and then go to Fu Wensheng’s house.
The three walked quickly on the street, using the dense street trees to cover their figure. Tang Mo took out a few pieces of paper from his backpack, and identified the direction to the figures and letters on it. This is the map Luofeng City left for them before they left. There are two Black Tower Research Institutes in Beijing, one outside the Seventh Ring Road and one in Chaoyang District. Even Luo Fengcheng didn’t know their specific addresses, only that they were transformed by the National Institute of Advanced Secrets. The research institute that released the data is most likely the one in Chaoyang District.
“There are seventeen advanced scientific research institutes in Beijing, and there are two in Chaoyang District.” Tang Mo looked at the crude drawing on the paper for a long time, and then sighed softly: “If we are lucky, we should be able to do it within three days. Find the institute. Bad luck, it may take a long time to find.”
This map drawn by Luo Fengcheng is too abstract.
He roughly marked the locations of several key scenic spots in Beijing, and then drew more than twenty letters on the map. According to him, these two dozen places are likely to be research institutes. Luo Fengcheng had only been to the research institute once, and he was still sitting in the car. He was asleep at the time and had no idea of how he got into the institute. The reason why he was able to judge the location was based on the time it took to get off the plane and take the car to the research institute, as well as several places where he was entertained by the official after staying in Beijing for a few days.
There are more than 20 locations, the farthest being tens of kilometers away. It will take a lot of time to find all of them.
Fu Wenduo pointed to the map: “Find location C first.” C is three kilometers east of their location.
The man suddenly came over and pointed at the map, Tang Mo was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t help but look up at Fu Wenduo. The eyes of the two met in the air. After a while, Tang Mo calmly said, “Well, go around here.”
Among the row upon row of skyscrapers, three black figures walked through them at an extremely fast speed. When passing a building, Tang Mo suddenly stopped, his body clinging to the wall, vigilantly staring at the intersection not far away. I saw two middle-aged men carefully crossing the road.
“Not the chosen one.” Fu Wensheng whispered.
After the two players left, the three of them set off again.
Because the map of Luofeng City is abstract, they drew a circle with a diameter of three kilometers with the Temple of Heaven as the center, and searched for all the suspected research institutes within the circle.
Fu Wenduo: “The Black Tower Research Institute usually pretends to be an ordinary university experimental research institute to hide its true identity and protect the researchers inside. For example, the Black Tower Research Institute in Shanghai has been transformed into an ordinary marine biology laboratory. However, such places are generally heavily guarded, and there are obvious isolation zones around them.”
According to Fu Wenduo’s words, Tang Mo gave up the ordinary office building first.
Da Yin is hidden in the city. Although the office building is very hidden, no one would have thought that the secret Black Tower Research Institute would be set up in such a place. But there are too many people in the office building, and it is easy to be found abnormal by people in the same building. His target is some isolated small buildings.
In the evening, Tang Mo walked through an alley and saw in the distance an old-fashioned three-story building bathed in sunset light. He said, “Where?!”
Fu Wenduo followed his gaze and nodded, “It’s very possible.”
The three of them crossed the road together and walked towards the small building. Just as they were about to leave the intersection, Tang Mo paused, turning his head slowly to look at the other end of the intersection. This is a very narrow area where two one-way roads meet to form a small intersection. The road was surrounded by walls on both sides, so that when Tang Mo came from the south, he could not see the other three directions at all.
Fu Wenduo also turned his head to look east.
Fu Wensheng took two steps forward, and when he realized that something was wrong, he followed Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo’s line of sight. After seeing the situation clearly, little brother Fu opened his eyes wide and hurriedly ran back to Tang Mo. Fu Wenduo stood ten meters away and waited for a while. He carefully listened to the voices in the air and made sure that the man who fell on the ground was not in an ambush, and then he strode forward.
After checking the situation, Fu Wenduo raised his head: “Dead.”
On the side of the narrow road, a middle-aged woman fell to the ground with her head down and breathless. Bright red blood flowed out from under her body and flowed down the sloped road into the sewer troughs on both sides. After a while, the blood coagulated, leaving a dark brown mark on the ground.
Tang Mo crouched down and stretched out his hand to touch the woman’s neck. The temperature hasn’t completely faded yet. His face gradually darkened, he looked up at Fu Wenduo, and the two immediately understood what the other meant.
Fu Wenduo: “I just died in less than five minutes. I died very quickly. A knife slashed the carotid artery and cut the vocal cords at the same time. The fatal injury was the knife from the front of the forehead. It should have been stabbed first. In a very short period of time, the neck was cut again. The technique is very sophisticated, and it should have killed a lot of people.”
Fu Wensheng: “The one chosen by God?”
Fu Wenduo shook his head: “Not sure, but it doesn’t look like it.”
Tang Mo: “The point is… She only died for five minutes.”
Five minutes ago, Tang Mo and the others had come to this block, looking for the location of the Black Tower Research Institute. When this middle-aged woman died, they were definitely no more than 200 meters away from here, but neither Tang Mo nor Fu Wenduo saw any suspicious figures, so it was only when Tang Mo suddenly saw this woman’s body. surprise.
After the earth goes online, even during the day, some players will randomly kill people on the road. There are many reasons for killing people, most of the time it is to snatch props and resources. Some perverted stowaways don’t even need a reason to kill, just to vent their emotions. However, this time, this woman died under the eyes of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, and they still haven’t found the murderer.
The murderer seemed to evaporate out of thin air, silently.
After examining the middle-aged woman’s body, Tang Mo said, “Be careful.”
The three of them were even more vigilant, always guarding against the sneak attack of the Heavenly Chosen Organization. If there was anyone who could kill Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo under the noses of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, it was most likely the Heavenly Chosen Organization. Half of the most powerful players in Beijing are in this organization. Maybe some players have the ability to teleport, and they can kill people out of thin air and then disappear. In any case, they must be more careful.
Entering the small building without any danger, Tang Mo searched for a while and found that this was just an ordinary literary bookstore, not the Black Tower Research Institute. After he marked the “C” location on the map and made sure that there were no enemies around, the three reappeared to look for the next location.
Within three days, the three Tang Mo walked more than half of Chaoyang District and found eleven locations. Without exception, none of these eleven places is the Black Tower Institute.
On the fourth day, they found a robotics lab. Tang Mo looked at the name outside the building and his eyes lit up.
This robotics lab is located in a small quiet courtyard surrounded by ordinary bungalow residential areas. Such two-story buildings look very old, and they are not noticeable in these old houses. But its yard is big enough that people outside can’t see what’s going on inside the building from the yard.
Tang Mo pushed the door and entered, and there were several robot models in the hall of the small building. The entire first floor is an ordinary robot research room. On the second floor, the three of them searched for a while, and finally stopped in a small room on the innermost side of the corridor. Tang Mo stretched out his hand to open the door, but when he pressed it, he found that the door could not be opened.
He looked at Fu Wenduo.
Fu Wenduo swung his right hand, turning it into a pitch-black triangular weapon. The sharp weapon cut through the thick iron door, and it turned out to be a robot research laboratory after entering! Tang Mo didn’t give up, he had a hunch that something was wrong. His eyes swept across every corner of the room, ending up on a bookshelf against the wall.
There are many robot-related books on this shelf. Without exception, each book is very new and seems to have never been flipped.
The next second, Tang Mo said, “Push this bookshelf away and take a look.”
Fu Wenduo also noticed this, and he pushed open the bookshelf. Little Brother Fu asked in surprise, “Is there something behind the bookshelf?” After speaking, he also ran over to help.
With Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo’s current strength, they pushed the bookshelf with five points of effort, and the bookshelf moved only five centimeters. This further proves the unusualness of this bookshelf. When the bookshelf was pushed open little by little, a dark staircase hidden behind was revealed. The bookshelf was pushed open completely, with a click, as if something had been brute-forced.
Tang Mo planned to go down the stairs first, but Fu Wenduo stopped him in front of him: “I’ll go down first.”
Tang Mo was stunned. Looking at the man’s dark and calm eyes, after a while, he nodded: “…Okay.”
The three descended the stairs one after the other. The stairs are very long, and they have already crossed the first floor to the ground floor. Tang Mo took out a flashlight to illuminate this strange place, and in front of them was a half-open door. Fu Wenduo pushed open the door and went in, and a long-abandoned laboratory suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
Various black tower models, strange equations drawn on the blackboard, all indicate the true identity of the place.
The three did not show any surprises, and they immediately searched for it in the Black Tower Research Institute. Most of the information in the research institute is the same as what Fu Wenduo saw in the Shanghai Black Tower Research Institute, and there is not much difference. It is clear that there is an exchange of information between the two institutes. Tang Mo had also heard Luo Fengcheng say these information, most of them were wrong judgments.
In half a year, major countries in the world have established research institutes for the Black Tower and tried their best to study it, but in the end, almost all of them returned without success.
They made countless assumptions, and made various conjectures from physical phenomena, optical reflection, as well as cosmology and particle theory. None of them can make a black tower. It is like a civilization that does not belong to human beings, and it is helpless with the current scientific methods of human beings, because it is far beyond the scientific limit that human beings can understand.
After Tang Mo searched for a long time, Fu Wensheng suddenly said loudly, “Hey, what is this?”
Everyone immediately turned to look.
I saw the child take out a black safe from the corner with a blue glassware on the box. The water in this glassware is turbid, because it has been stored for five months, and the water quality has long been unclear. This black safe and glassware were placed in the corner so abruptly, it was not at all inconspicuous.
Tang Mo took the glassware and observed the traces inside. He was keenly aware that there were many fingerprints on the glass outer wall, and these fingerprints were intertwined in layers. This glass vessel is obviously often picked up and observed, and there are more than one person observing it. There are more than a dozen different fingerprints that Tang Mo can distinguish.
Tang Mo had an answer in his heart. He illuminated the black safe with a flashlight and looked at Fu Wenduo: “There must be something in this glassware. Open this box and the information should be inside.”
Fu Wenduo had already taken out the dagger, ready to open the box. He was holding the black dagger he used against the big turkey. Just when the dagger was about to pierce the safe, Fu Wen said, “Is this really the precious research material we’re looking for?”
Fu Wenduo’s movements suddenly stopped.
Tang Mo was shocked. After a long while, he quickly said: “If it is precious information, it should not be possible to just take an ordinary safe and put it in… There are traps, there must be traps.”
Fu Wensheng was stunned and said, “Trap?” The kid didn’t expect that his casual words would be so important.
Tang Mo immediately looked at Fu Wenduo: “We can’t use brute force, we have to manually open the box.”
