The Earth is Online - Chapter 130
[Chapter 130]
As night fell, darkness invaded the earth. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo quickly left the road with the girl’s body, found an inconspicuous house, and settled inside. They saw no one along the way. There are not many surviving players in Beijing, and it is normal to walk for five minutes without seeing a single person. However, this time, the entire city of Beijing seemed to have been pressed the stop button, and completely fell silent.
The huge city has become a ghost town, and only less than a hundred people have not been forcibly pulled to attack the tower game.
The same thing happens all over the world.
Players left on Earth are a minority. Only players who have conquered the tower within three months, or participated in the last person cleaning game and won, can not be forced to attack the tower.
The night turned dark, Tang Mo glanced at the dark sky outside the window, turned on the flashlight, and illuminated the corpse.
They checked the girl’s props and weapons. An ordinary kitchen knife, a police gun, and three bullets. The girl only had a strange-looking stone item. Tang Mo read the description of the item. This stone can increase the player’s running speed in a short time. However, it can only be used three times, and it has been used twice now.
Finally they checked the girl’s cause of death.
Just like what Fu Wenduo hurriedly checked just now, he was stabbed in the heart and killed with one blow. It’s a human method, not like the Black Tower monster.
Tang Mo handed the stone to Fu Wensheng. This kind of prop is not very useful to him, but more useful to children. He looked up at Fu Wenduo with a heavy face: “This is the second dead person. When we saw her this time, she was not dead, but the murderer was gone. There are two possibilities. First, she did participate. After playing the Black Tower game, she was thrown out by the Black Tower before she died and returned to Earth; secondly, she was killed on Earth.”
Fu Wen looked at Tang Mo with determination: “The second kind.”
Tang Mo also knew that the first possibility was extremely low, and he said: “Then there is only one problem… The person who killed her, either was stronger than you, at least faster than you, and was able to get there before you. He escaped in seconds, and he still escaped without a trace. Either he has a very special ability or an item.” After a pause, Tang Mo said the answer: “He can be ‘invisible’.”
Fu Wenduo suddenly asked, “Which one do you think it is?”
Tang Mo was stunned. He looked into Fu Wenduo’s eyes, and the two stared silently. Fu Wenduo had long guessed that Tang Mo had some kind of intelligent ability. Tang Mo didn’t elaborate on Chen Shanshan’s ability, but when he encountered problems of judgment, he would make guesses with “super-intelligent thinking”.
Tang Mo pondered for a moment, then said seriously, “I don’t think so.”
“what is that.”
Brother Fu was listening and thinking. Before Tang Mo could answer, he suddenly said, “Is it related to that Mu Hui?”
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo turned to look at him.
Fu Wensheng explained: “Big Brother, Brother Tang, look. The Invisible Killer appeared after the update error occurred in the Black Tower. The timing is a bit coincidental. It didn’t exist before, but now it suddenly appears, it is very likely related to the update error. Of course. , maybe there is an invisible person who has been following us all the time, but instead of attacking us, he always kills people around us…” In the end, Fu Wensheng himself felt that this was unlikely.
An invisible enemy, who started updating Tang Mo and the others a week ago, but he never attacked Tang Mo and them, but instead killed passing players. Finally, when the three of Tang Mo came, he ran away immediately. What’s the point of him doing this? Do you want to show off your special escape skills?
Fu Wensheng gave his thoughts. He thought that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo would discuss again, but after hearing his words, Tang Mo’s face slowly sank, and Fu Wenduo stopped talking. The child thought he had said something wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that if what he said was true, then the matter would be very complicated.
The appearance of the Invisible Man is related to the mysterious 4.0 version of the Black Tower.
The invisible enemy is the most dangerous enemy. Could it be that when the Black Tower version 4.0 is updated, human players will encounter such invisible enemies and fight them?
Thinking of this, Fu Wensheng trembled. The child shrank his neck, not thinking about such a terrifying thing.
This is a grocery store. Tang Mo took a tablecloth from the shelf and put it over the girl. The three rested here at night.
Early the next morning, Tang Mo opened his eyes and walked to the window. He looked up at the black tower not far away and counted the numbers on it.
“26813231”
Reciting the number in a low voice, Tang Mo squeezed his fingers and repeated the number he saw last night.
Almost 1.5 million less.
The black tower did not explain the string of eight digits, but at first glance, all players probably guessed that it was either the number of players who forced the tower attack, or the total number of surviving players on earth. A month ago, Xiao Jitong told Tang Mo that there were about 20,000 players in Nanjing. Before the earth went online, Nanjing had a population of about 10 million. Calculated in the same proportion, the number of surviving human beings in the world was 20 million.
“More than 100 people were lost in ten seconds, and after one night, 1.5 million people were lost…”
“Most of the players who are forced to attack the tower are those who have never played the game of attacking the tower.” A low male voice sounded from behind Tang Mo, and he turned his head to look. Fu Wenduo walked to the window, also looked at the heavy black tower, and said lightly, “The first three days were the peak period of the sharp drop in the number of people. After three days, the speed of the number of people will decrease.”
This is the survival of the fittest.
Weak players can’t last for a few days, they will fall directly at the beginning of the tower attack game, and it is very likely that they will not even be able to start the main quest. However, after three days, it proves that the player has a certain strength, and can at least start the main quest, then there is hope of clearing the tower attack game.
Tang Mo turned his eyes away, his voice calm: “The real sharp decline period should be 12 hours to 24 hours after entering the tower attack game.” This is his experience in three tower attacks. Unlike other dungeon games, tower attack games usually have one or more side quests, and the main quest can only be opened after completing the side quests. The main quest cannot be opened within 24 hours, and eight times out of ten, it will never be opened again.
Hearing that, Fu Wenduo was about to say something when suddenly his eyes narrowed.
Tang Mo also slowly opened his eyes and stared at the black tower.
I saw a huge black tower suspended in mid-air, and the bright sunlight shone on the dark tower. In the center of the black tower, the white eight-digit numbers kept beating. However, this time the number beating is not in units of ten or hundreds, and its tens of thousands is constantly changing!
In one minute, the number becomes: 26381314.
Ten minutes later, the number becomes: 24913421.
An hour later, the first digit completely dropped from 2 to 1.
On Earth, players who do not need to play tower attack games find a safe place at this moment to stare at this silent digital change. It has no blood, no artillery fire, just a simple and invisible digital decrement. However, in this hour of staring, 10 million people have disappeared in the icy black tower, silently.
Russia, Moscow Red Square.
In the heavy snow, a burly man wrapped in a thick coat turned and left without looking back when he saw the number dropped to 2.
Beijing, No. 80 Middle School.
Lian Yuzheng was sitting in the corridor of the third year classroom. She didn’t seem to be afraid that she would fall. She sat on the edge of the armrest and watched the number decrease, but her expression did not change.
Nanjing, New Nanjing Group.
Xiao Jitong stopped looking at it as early as when the number dropped to 25 million, but Ning Ning kept holding his crossbow | bow under the black tower. She raised her head and watched silently, not saying a word.
Shanghai, Atak Organization.
Last month, Luofeng City let all players in the organization who have not attacked the tower enter the black tower to complete their own tower attack game. He has become an official player and found his own power. Since last night, only members of the Atak organization and two players on the first floor of the black tower were left in this mall.
Luo Fengcheng sat in the office and didn’t care about the outside affairs, when suddenly his door was pushed open.
Jakes hurried in, gasping for breath, so anxious that he couldn’t even speak. An ordinary-looking girl with short hair was sitting by the side reading a book. Seeing this, Chen Shanshan poured a glass of water and handed it to Jakes. She asked, “Did someone get killed by the Invisible Man again, Jakes?”
Jakes nodded first, then shook his head vigorously.
Luo Fengcheng narrowed his eyes: “What’s the situation?”
Jakes finally caught his breath after drinking the water. His Chinese has become very fluent in the past six months. He quickly said: “Yes, the body killed by the invisible man was found again. But this time, ahem… no , not this time, this is not what I want to say. Dr. Luo, the numbers have changed! You said yesterday that the numbers on the black tower should be the total number of surviving players, more than 28 million. Just now, there are only Nineteen million down!”
Luo Fengcheng was suddenly startled.
Chen Shanshan’s hand that took the cup also froze in midair.
After a while, Luo Fengcheng murmured in a low voice, “Did it come so quickly…” He didn’t say anything, and took out a thick stack of documents from the drawer. After reading the information in detail, he handed it to Jakes, and said calmly: “Look for a chance to go to Beijing and find Tang Mo and Major Fu. This matter is no trivial matter, and no player in Shanghai can solve it. Shanshan, you also go together. They need your powers.”
At the same time, Suzhou, Guanqian Street.
Two tall foreign men were walking on the empty commercial street, looking bored at the abandoned shops on both sides.
They walked for ten minutes and saw no one. The blond man finally couldn’t help but scolded “Fuck” angrily, and then said angrily: “What about people? Why is there no one left? Has everyone been killed by them now. Damn, I only have 56 minutes left. It’s rest time, why are there no meat pigs.”
The brown-haired man on the side snorted coldly: “The next rest time belongs to me.”
The blond man said disdainfully, “Can you find a hog, my dear David?”
As soon as the voice fell, the two made a move. They pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what was going on around them. Suddenly, the blond man raised his head and slowly raised his lips. A strange and crazy smile gradually appeared on this handsome and profound face, like a lunatic who had not eaten for three days and suddenly saw food. His eyes were bright, and he was staring at the second floor of a specialty store.
The middle-aged man hiding on the second floor was so frightened that he hurriedly left the window, trembling nervously: “What, what are those two…” Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow flashed past his eyes. The last thing the middle-aged man saw before he died was a strand of blond hair, his head slipped from his neck, and the roar of the brown-haired man seemed to be heard in his ears——
“Fuck you! Pete, this time off is mine, and you’re taking my fucking time again!”
The head slowly fell to the ground, and everything happened within a second. This middle-aged player who has already cleared the first floor of the black tower could not have imagined that the gap in strength between the two sides would be so large. His head rolled slowly to the ground, his eyes fixed on the right hand of the blond man. On that right hand, there is a string of rough onyx bracelets.
The brown-haired man roared and punched the blond man, and the blond man ducked with a smile on his face.
Half a minute later, the figures of the two disappeared in the room, leaving only the cold body of the middle-aged man.
