The Earth is Online - Chapter 25

[Chapter 25]

Four days later, Shanghai, Jing’an Park.

A simple and honest-looking little fat man walked quickly, like lightning, and got into the Family Mart convenience store in the park. The food and drinking water in the convenience store had been rummaged through by others. The little fat man did not give up, and ran into the warehouse of the convenience store. It took a long time to find three boxes of biscuits and half a tank of drinking water.

Not many humans survived, but food has a shelf life. These days, there is less and less food to eat. After finally finding food and water, the little fat man hurried back and handed the water to a tall and thin boy.

The bamboo-like boy immediately took a big sip and said, “It can be considered alive. Zhao Zian, you said that food is so hard to find now, why don’t we leave Shanghai quickly. There are too many people in Shanghai, if we eat like this, we will definitely run out of food. ”

The little fat man ate two biscuits in one go, and his mouth was full: “I’ll… less time in the future, I’ll give it to you.”

The bamboo pole boy blushed: “I didn’t mean that.”

“I know.” The little fat man took a sip of water and swallowed the biscuits, “I’m not very hungry every day, you are a reservist, your physical fitness is not as good as mine, I feel that I eat less every day. I’m still not hungry at all. You’re also like this, eating less and less. Maybe just like what Shanshan said before, our bodies are getting better and better after the earth goes online, just like plants, the way to obtain energy It’s not just eating, but there are many unknown paths… eh, did she say that?”

The bamboo pole boy pouted: “How can I remember, we have been separated for several days.”

Thinking of this incident, the little fat man was also very depressed: “When we become stronger in the future, let’s go together! Let’s see who dares to trouble us!”

The two packed food and water into their carry-on backpacks and walked forward.

Little Fatty: “Tell me, is the ‘match geek’ that they are talking about holding a big match and always sneaking at people in the middle of the night at 3 o’clock is Brother Tang?”

“It shouldn’t be. Why does Brother Tang Mo sneak up on others? He’s a good guy, and he’s so powerful, so there’s no need for him.”

“Well, it’s definitely not Brother Tang.”

The two left Jing’an Park and headed west.

The “Matchman” they call is currently hiding in a jewelry store on the second floor of Nanjing Road.

The jewelry store faces north, and the sun shines from the south, which cannot reach the store. The Stickman huddled in the corner, stretched out his hand very gently, and shone a strange object at everyone who passed downstairs.

If you look closely, you will see that this strange thing is a modified binoculars. Remove the two lens barrels, pierce the bottom of the lens barrel, and use a similar-sized cylinder to connect the two lens barrels in series to form a “Z” shape. A flat mirror is placed at each of the two inflection points of the “Z”, thus making a simple reflecting telescope.

Stickman pointed one end of the Z-shaped telescope at the pedestrians on the road, and put the other end in front of him. He watched every person passing by downstairs intently, so he saw the afternoon from the morning.

In the evening, a strong middle-aged man in a black leather jacket swaggered past the road with a cigarette in his mouth.

The Stickman put down his binoculars, quickly picked up his bag, ran downstairs at a very fast speed, and followed behind this fat middle-aged man.

Tang Mo hid in the dim alley, with a backpack on one shoulder, his eyes fixed on the man. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, a light flashed in his pupils. In his sight, three big characters slowly floated above the man’s head——

“Stowaways”

Tang Mo raised the corners of his lips and followed the man calmly.

As the night fell, the man in the leather jacket put his hands in his pockets, kicked the door open, and walked into a specialty store. A middle-aged woman was already lying in the store, and suddenly the door was kicked open. The woman shrank back in fright and slammed into the merchandise cabinet.

“What are you looking at, go away!”

The middle-aged woman opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but the man glared at him and kicked the woman’s stomach. The woman groaned in pain, didn’t even dare to take her bag, and ran out of the store.

The strong man in the leather jacket laughed arrogantly, and directly pulled over the bed that the woman had just made and lay on it.

On the wall of the specialty store, the clock ticked. The man in the leather jacket closed his eyes, but after a while, the grunt sounded, loud and thunderous, and gradually overshadowed the ticking of the clock.

In the dark night, a tall and thin shadow flashed past the door of the specialty store. The next second, a huge match fell from the sky and hit the strong man’s right leg.

“Crack-”

After a crisp sound of broken bones, it was a howl of a strong man killing a pig.

Tang Mo didn’t give the opponent a chance to breathe, and the big matches were like raindrops, smashing down on the strong man’s stomach, thighs, and buttocks intensively. It hits the places with the most meat, but it hurts and catches you off guard, but it won’t kill you. The strong man’s beer belly was so big that he couldn’t hit his internal organs no matter how hard he smashed it, causing him to scream in pain.

“I killed you!!!”

“Crash-”

A huge table appeared in front of Tang Mo.

Tang Mo waved the match, and the heavy match head slammed on the table. A trace of surprise flashed in Tang Mo’s eyes, and he increased the speed of his beating. The strong man saw that his supernatural powers were all shattered by this big match, and cried bitterly in despair, holding his head and begging for mercy.

Probably the fight was almost over, Tang Mo leaned down and took off the strong man’s leather jacket, and said lightly, “This is mine, understand?”

The strong man was wearing a jacket on his upper body. After being stripped, he folded his arms around his chest and kept nodding: “I understand, I understand! It’s yours, it’s all yours!”

The fat covered in white flowers was so hot that Tang Mo’s eyes hurt, he took the leather jacket and turned to leave.

Just after he left, the middle-aged woman who had just been driven away quietly walked back. When she saw the strong man who was beaten to the death, she angrily threw the strong man out of the store, kicked him several times on the body and face, and then ran away quickly with her bag in her arms.

Tang Mo walked into the alley, threw away the leather jacket, and took out the power book.

[Ability: Come and hit me, come and hit me]

[Owner: Zhao Longfeng (stowaway)]

[Type: four-dimensional type]

[Function: Use a nearby object as a shield, the action interval is 0 time units]

[Level: Level 1]

[Restriction: You must be able to move the object, the distance from the object should not exceed ten meters, and the cooling time will be five minutes]

[Note: Zhao Longfeng: Come and beat me, come and beat me~ Tang Mo: I will kill your grandson! 】

[Instructions for use of Tang Mo version: The area of the shield object should not exceed 0.5 square meters, the distance from the object should not exceed 3 meters, and the cooling time will be ten minutes… Hey, kill Tang Mo, this little goblin! ! ! 】

From the first time he opened the power book to now, Tang Mo has become accustomed to the sloppy mouth of this book. This cheap book takes the responsibility of harming Tang Mo, and sometimes even scolds himself in it, but also harms Tang Mo.

Originally Tang Mo thought he was completely immune to it, but when he saw the phrase “little goblin”, Tang Mo couldn’t help twitching his eyelids, closing the book forcefully, just raised his hand to throw the book out, but luckily he held back again .

My power, follow me, follow me, follow me…

Follow Nima! This is absolutely not with him! ! !

Tang Mo gritted his teeth and put away the power book, and ran lightly into a nearby unoccupied house, waiting for the night to pass.

From the day he was told by the black tower to “prepare to attack the tower in ten days”, Tang Mo began to ambush near Nanjing Road.

Among Tang Mo’s six abilities, only the fire-breathing ability and the wind-breathing ability have obvious aggressiveness. He is very incompetent.

Other people’s abilities may not be useful, but at least they can be used without restrictions. Tang Mo’s ability can often only be used once a day. If he encounters a strong opponent and needs to fight for a long time, it will not work at all. And he’s going to take part in the tower attack game.

Four days ago, Tang Mo began to use the little girl Qiao Feifei’s ability to “find, find, find friends” to find stowaways on the streets.

The little girl’s ability was useless before, and it wasn’t until this time that Tang Mo discovered that this ability was simply an artifact.

Players with awakening abilities are almost only regular players and stowaways. There is almost nothing special about the supernatural beings. Tang Mo had seen many players with supernatural abilities. Except for the Jakes organized by Atak, who had a face that said “I am very strong, I must have supernormal abilities”, the difference between other regular players and the reservists was very small.

Among power users, it is easier to find stowaways.

Stowaways are murderers, and they’re real murderers before the game starts.

Some murderers hide so deeply that they are no different from ordinary people on the surface. But some murderers look cruel, their eyes are ruthless, and there is a lingering evil spirit between their brows. Tang Mo’s ability can only be used once a day, and he will not use it easily. Only when it is determined that the other party is 90% likely to be a smuggler will he follow up with his ability to see clearly, and finally decide to do it.

Stowaways have abilities, and Tang Mo didn’t dare to take it lightly. Every time, he observed clearly before sneaking attacks from behind. Finally, he ate it up and didn’t pay, and copied the other party’s abilities.

Tang Mo was lying on this family’s bed, frowning slightly, thinking about where to look for stowaways tomorrow.

I chose Nanjing Road because there are many shops here, and there are the most players passing by every day, and it is most likely to find stowaways. It’s a pity that the four consecutive days of sneak attacks made many people vigilant, and the nickname “Stickman” became louder and louder. The number of players who come to Nanjing Road every day to find resources is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tang Mo touched his chin and thought for a while.

“It seems that there is a supermarket not far away, or it’s better to ambush there.”

The night is deep, and it is not game time, and the land of China is silent.

Early the next day, Tang Mo quickly left Nanjing Road with his bag on his back and headed for the supermarket.

Three days later, a shopping mall in Pudong.

A sturdy foreign man stepped out of the underground garage and strode out of the mall. His stature was sturdy, and every step he took made the ground tremble slightly. Where he walked, other players carefully avoided. The blond and blue-eyed strong man scratched his head helplessly and went all the way east.

When he left the mall, Tang Mo, who had been hiding behind the pillar for more than an hour, opened his eyes and looked at each other.

After Jakes had walked for three minutes, Tang Mo quietly followed.

After following him for twenty minutes, Tang Mo saw Jakes walk into a factory. He walked around the old factory building and walked towards the iron gate of the factory. However, when he was about to leave the factory, he turned around and stood in front of an old manhole cover beside the iron gate. Jakes stepped on the manhole cover, and the next second, he disappeared.

Tang Mo walked out from behind the factory building and walked to the rusted old manhole cover. Without hesitation, he stepped on the manhole cover.

A loud voice sounded in my mind immediately.

“Ding Dong! The single-player dungeon game ‘Kill Bill’ has been triggered. At 11:36 on November 30, 2017, player Tang Mo entered the game time safely.”

“Sandbox loading…”

“Data loading complete…”

Tang Mo’s body fell quickly. The fall this time was very sudden, and Tang Mo didn’t react for a while, but he wouldn’t be caught off guard like the last time. This feeling was exactly the same as the last time he met the big mole. Tang Mo spread his hands, tried to support both sides of the tunnel with his palms, and slid down to stabilize his body.

After a long fall, with a bang, Tang Mo landed on an extremely soft ground.

It was dark all around, Tang Mo took out a flashlight from his backpack and illuminated the surroundings. The cave was exactly like the one in Uncle Mole’s, with damp dirt on all sides and more humidity than Mole’s cave. Tang Mo stepped on the ground and directly stepped on a clear footprint. But this is not a closed cave, and on one side of the cave, a bottomless, dark tunnel stretches out to where the flashlight can’t.

Tang Mo raised his ears to be alert to the movement around him, and at the same time quickly checked the cave, and finally returned to the circular tunnel.

This tunnel is about 1.8 meters high. Tang Mo has to bend down a little when he walks in, otherwise his hair may be wet by the damp soil above his head. After he made sure that there was nothing else in the underground cave, he thought for a moment, raised his flashlight and cautiously entered the tunnel.

The further he went deeper into the cave, the higher the humidity of the soil, Tang Mo focused on the movement around him.

Suddenly, a rushing sound of running sounded from the depths of the tunnel, Tang Mo’s eyes tightened, he immediately turned off the flashlight, and stood sideways against the tunnel wall.

The soil in this tunnel was very damp, and Tang Mo’s shoes were stained with mud. The extremely high soil humidity allowed Tang Mo to easily grab a large amount of the soil around him, and it was not too dirty. He wiped it all on his body and stood against the wall. The soil all over his body made Tang Mo blend into the tunnel wall.

The sound of the footsteps got closer and closer, Tang Mo held his breath and tried his best to reduce his presence.

He couldn’t see the thing that ran over, but at this time, he wouldn’t face each other directly.

However, even if Tang Mo turned off the flashlight and even stuck himself into the dirt wall with mud, when the footsteps ran past Tang Mo, he only took two steps forward and then ran back.

Tang Mo’s body tensed. He heard the footsteps stop in front of him. He pursed his lips and clenched his right hand gradually to form a match-holding posture, ready to attack at any time.

A surprised but weak voice sounded: “My God, are you a colleague who was sent to take over?”

A faint light flickered and illuminated Tang Mo’s face.

In front of him is a young foreign man with reddish-brown hair wearing a red and white uniform (it’s called a uniform because it’s exactly the same as Uncle McDonald’s, except that one has horizontal and one vertical stripes) , holding an old-fashioned kerosene lamp. It was obvious that the tunnel was dark when he ran over, and there was no light from the kerosene lamp, but now he just carried this old-fashioned kerosene lamp out of thin air, and raised the light to Tang Mo’s face, so he could see his face clearly.

Listening to the other party’s words, Tang Mo stopped when he was about to take the match. He thought for a while, then nodded silently.

“Oh god, what a coincidence you’re here. Bill’s crazy! Look at my wounds, it’s Bill’s doing.”

“you……”

Before Tang Mo could speak, a strange and frightening hissing sound suddenly came from the depths of the tunnel, like the sound of a snake spitting a letter, but it was different. It was followed by the sound of a giant hitting the tunnel.

Bang bang bang!

The tunnel was hit by this unknown creature and trembled violently, like an earthquake. Tang Mo and the red-haired man swayed from side to side, and only stood firm by holding onto the wall.

The red-haired man’s voice was terrified: “This is the voice of that monster! Crazy, crazy!” He took three steps back in fear and almost sat directly on the ground. At this moment, Tang Mo’s face covered with mud flashed in the corner of his eyes, his expression changed, and he shoved the kerosene lamp into Tang Mo’s hands, speaking very fast: “Companion, it’s your turn to be on duty. , you go first to see how the situation is, and I’ll go out to find someone.” After speaking, the red-haired man turned and ran.

“Go and see what’s going on, don’t let that monster come out! I will come back, I will definitely come back!”

Saying so, but the body is very honest and ran away.

Holding the dim kerosene lamp, Tang Mo resisted the thought of calling out to the other party.

A crisp child’s voice sounded in his mind——

“Ding Dong! Main quest triggered: Kill Bill within 20 minutes!”
