The Earth is Online - Chapter 76

[Chapter 76]

Walking in front was a young woman in black. She had short hair and was wearing a thin black padded jacket. She seemed to be afraid that Tang Mo would shoot again. She raised her hands vigorously to show that she had no ill intentions. Behind her was a short, thin young man. The two of them were similar in size, and both raised their hands and walked out of the big hidden rock.

In this kind of farmland, the sound cannot be collected, and many subtle sounds are swallowed up by the wind. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had been concentrating on practicing guns before, and since they were hiding far away, they didn’t find them immediately.

Tang Mo glanced coldly at the two of them. After he looked up and down, he turned to look at Fu Wenduo. The two nodded, confirming that the man and woman were no threat.

Fu Wenduo let go of Tang Mo’s hand, and Tang Mo put his gun in his pocket. They didn’t even get close, they just looked at the man and woman from such a distance. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn’t speak, and the two of them gradually couldn’t hold it anymore. The short-haired woman said first: “That…you believe we have no ill intentions?”

Fu Wenduo didn’t answer. Tang Mo said lightly: “No.” After a pause, he added: “I don’t believe it.”

The woman’s face froze, and she looked at her companion beside her at a loss. The man explained: “It’s like this, we live in a house not far away. This is a small town below Wuxi. She is my sister, my name is Wang Wenhao, and her name is Wang Wenjuan. The two of us grew up in this town. Big. We have been working in Wuxi since graduating from university, and then the earth went online, so she and I went back to our hometown to avoid the limelight.”

Tang Mo didn’t say a word, a trace of embarrassment appeared on the man’s face. He looked at Tang Mo, then looked at Fu Wenduo, and after a while, he bit the bullet and continued: “We are just ordinary reservists, there are some dangers in the city, there are many powerful players, we… we don’t dare to stay here. There. I just want to go back to my hometown to farm and eat, and avoid those horrible black tower games.”

The short-haired woman hurriedly said, “That’s right. We really don’t have any ill intentions. We haven’t seen a living person for a long time, and we came over to take a look when we heard gunshots suddenly. Don’t get me wrong, we’ll go now.”

The two brothers and sisters looked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo in embarrassment. They were neither standing nor walking, with embarrassed expressions on their faces. The temperament of the two is not like that of ordinary farmers, and there is some culture in their speech and conversation. It sounds like they really are white-collar workers who went to college and then worked in the city.

Seeing that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn’t talk to each other, the two also made fun of themselves. The siblings looked at each other and turned to leave.

boom!

A dazzling white light flashed across the sky. The next second, a deafening thunder sounded above the heads of the four. A terrifyingly curved lightning struck from one end of the sky to the other, almost hitting the ground. The brothers and sisters of the Wang family were so frightened by the thunder that they tightened their necks, and Fu Wenduo also frowned, looking up at the dark sky above his head.

A thick dark cloud weighed heavily on the ground, and the air pressure was extremely low. The wind on the farmland stopped, and the feeling of airtightness heralded a heavy rain to come. This is the first rain in spring, just after the new year, this year may be an early spring.

The young men and women looked at the dark cloud in the sky, and the man turned to look at Tang Mo: “The rain is about to fall, do you want to take shelter from the rain? Our house is nearby. Oh yes, you should have a car. , you can take shelter from the rain in the car. But I think the rain may be a little heavy…”

The two young men and women looked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo sincerely, and they didn’t try too hard, they just said so casually. Fu Wenduo’s eyes swept across the two hands, the corners of his mouth twitched, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Tang Mo’s voice calmly ask, “How far?”

Fu Wenduo turned his head to look at Tang Mo in surprise.

Wang Wenhao was stunned for a while, and said, “It’s not too far. The farmhouses in the front row and the two-story building in the middle are my home.”

Tang Mo looked up at the farm in the distance. It’s really not far, only one or two hundred meters. “It’s troublesome,” he said.

Unexpectedly, the two of them would really go home with themselves to avoid the rain. The Wang family brothers and sisters were a little novel, so they quickened their pace to bring the guests home. However, no matter how fast they walked, it was not raining fast. Halfway through, pea-sized raindrops slammed on the four of them. After entering the room, Tang Mo’s hair was all wet. Fu Wenduo raised his hand and brushed the wet hair behind his head. The Wang brothers and sisters diligently found them a chair, and the two of them sat down casually.

There are plenty of materials in the city, but in fact, it is far less than the countryside when it comes to food and water.

The short-haired woman took out a bowl of vegetable soup from the kitchen, filled two bowls of hot rice and handed it to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. The two took it calmly and put it on the table without eating. Tang Mo: “I just ate, so I’m not hungry.”

The Wang brothers and sisters laughed dryly, and the four of them sat in the large living room of the rural family, looking at each other.

Fu Wenduo sat with his back straight. He sat by the door and pulled his chair to the door. The chair was against the door, and the double-sided door was opened halfway. From time to time, the rain blew into the house through the wind, and he didn’t seem to notice it. He looked down at the ground and didn’t know what he was thinking.

Tang Mo glanced at the sky outside: “At least another half an hour.”

The young man asked curiously, “You still know how to read the weather?”

Tang Mo did not deny it. The rain outside was fierce, and it was a spring rain. With the thickness of this dark cloud, it would definitely not stop within half an hour. He raised his head and glanced across the room. This is an ordinary two-story rural building. Most of the rural people do not engage in decoration, and the floors are paved with cement. A large mirror occupies half of the wall, and on the opposite wall is a long cabinet with a shrine Buddha statue, as well as a statue of Guanyin and the chairman.

The siblings seem to have lived here for a long time, and every part of the house is clean.

Tang Mo looked back for a while, then looked at the embarrassed young man: “What do you want to say?”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said, “…you know?”

Tang Mo didn’t answer.

The young man coughed, a little embarrassed: “You are not bad people, if you are really bad people, I’m afraid I won’t let us go just now. My sister and I have been staying in our hometown for a long time, and there are only two living people in our town. We can’t encounter any black tower games here. It stands to reason that we can survive by farming. But…” His voice became bitter, “This…this…”

Tang Mo: “My name is Victor, and his name is Tang Ji.”

The young man nodded, he knew that Tang Mo was talking about a pseudonym, but he didn’t point it out. He said: “Victor, you know, a month and a half ago, the black tower suddenly said that every player must attack the tower once within three months. In this case, my sister and I must participate in the black tower game.”

Tang Mo: “What game have you played?”

The short-haired woman said: “We haven’t participated in any games at all. We don’t know what happened. Four months ago, all the colleagues around us disappeared, and we survived. Then we went back to our hometown together and didn’t participate in the middle. I’ve played any game. Oh yes, once, in November last year, we were pulled into the tower attack game by a stowaways named Fu Wenduo. It’s the game that all Chinese players participated in. ”

Fu Wenduo, who was sitting by the door, looked at the rain outside the door calmly, while Tang Mo glanced at him calmly.

The young man said helplessly: “So the two of us have no experience in playing games at all. We are very happy to meet you this time, and we thought… Mr. Victor, Mr. Tanguy, can you tell us? Some information about the Black Tower game. Also, what’s going on in the outside world?”

Tang Mo: “After you went online from Earth, you came back here and never went out again?”

The young man nodded and said: “Well. On November 18th, the earth went online, and everyone around us disappeared. On the morning of the 20th, my sister and I came back here. After that, we were dragged to participate in a strange event at most. The tower attack game, and I never saw anyone again. Mr. Victor, can you tell us about the outside world? It’s not free, we grew some vegetables and made some steamed buns by ourselves. Now there are supplies outside It should be quite nervous, you can take it if you don’t like it…”

boom!

A gust of wind blew through the house, blowing the door on the other side open. The door wrapped in iron slammed hard against the wall, making a rumbling sound. Fu Wenduo was unmoved, as if he hadn’t heard the terrible movement, and sat alone at the door. The short-haired woman gave him a strange look. She stepped forward, closed the door, and said cautiously, “Mr. Tang, why don’t you sit here? It’s raining here.”

Fu Wenduo looked up at her. His eyes were calm, his dark eyes stopped on the short-haired woman, and he looked at her fixedly. Wang Wenjuan became nervous at the sight of him, she couldn’t help swallowing, but she heard Tang Mo’s calm voice: “He likes the rain.”

With the steps down, the short-haired woman hurriedly walked back into the house.

The two siblings hesitated. The young man added: “We really have nothing good here, Mr. Victor, if you don’t want to say it, we can understand. I guess the outside world is definitely not very good, where are you going from the highway? Do you want to go home too?”

Tang Mo: “We plan to go to Nanjing.”

“Nanjing, that’s a long way. There are a lot of blocked cars on the expressway. It takes a day and a night to drive there.”

The three talked for a while.

The rain outside was getting smaller and smaller. Gradually, the sound of the rain stopped, and only a few strands of rain were still floating in the air. The Wang family brothers and sisters didn’t give up, and wanted to learn some outside news from Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo.

“The rain is about to stop, why don’t you eat something before you go.” The short-haired woman quickly ran into the kitchen and came out with a bowl of warm vegetable soup. This time, Tang Mo actually caught the bowl of hot soup. A look of surprise flashed on the woman’s face, she thought for a while, and then said: “Mr. Victor, can you really tell us something about the outside world. We only need a little bit, we haven’t seen a living person for too long. .”

The siblings looked at Tang Mo expectantly.

Tang Mo’s hand touched the edge of the soup bowl. He lowered his head and looked at the hot soup with leaves floating in the bowl. After a long time, he said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s rare for everyone to know each other once. It’s nothing to talk about.”

The Wang brothers and sisters looked at him in surprise.

Tang Mo raised his head and said with a smile, “But before that, I want to ask, have you… heard the name Li Wen?”
