The Earth is Online - Chapter 8

[chapter eight]

Tang Mo has no time to be sad and afraid.

The magic stick and Xiao Zhao disappeared completely, leaving no clothes and belongings, and he didn’t need to help pack up anything.

Tang Mo closed the door and left the library.

There were seven or eight people gathered under the black tower in the city center. Some of them slumped on the ground helplessly, not understanding what happened just now, why all the companions who were shouting and marching with them disappeared in just a few minutes; there were also two middle-aged men dressed as elites in the Remove the white wall.

The white plastic wall was erected by the military police three days ago to surround the black tower and prevent ordinary citizens from approaching.

Now the armed police have disappeared, and so have the scientists doing research in the white walls. The two men dismantled a large hole in the white wall and approached the black tower. Tang Mo didn’t follow him to look. He glanced at it from a distance and continued to walk forward.

So many scientists have studied for half a year, but have not come up with any clues. He didn’t think he could figure out what the black tower was.

The first problem Tang Mo had to face was not having a car.

It’s 8:15 now, and at exactly 8:00, Shen Gong and Xiao Zhao disappeared. Like them, most of the city disappeared. Neither the bus nor the subway can go home without a driver. In addition, many people were still driving when they disappeared, and now these cars collided with each other, blocking most of the road.

Tang Mo walked half a kilometer and saw a small yellow car lying on the ground.

He took out his phone and scanned the QR code.

“It really doesn’t work…”

Tang Mo frowned, and squatted down to observe the lock and key structure of the little yellow car. After two minutes of watching, he picked up a stone from the ground and started banging the lock.

The huge anti-vibration force caused Tang Mo’s wrist a little pain, but his strength was much stronger than before, and after smashing it twice, the steel lock was broken.

Tang Mo thoughtfully glanced at the iron lock that was broken by himself, and rode home in the little yellow car.

Forty minutes later, he entered the community and parked the little yellow car downstairs.

In the quiet community, there was no one around, except for the rustling of the wind blowing the leaves. Tang Mo simply packed some clothes after returning home. Tang Mo’s parents were both only children, and all his grandparents passed away when he was a child. When he was in college, his parents died in a car accident. After that, he lost contact with relatives.

Some of Tang Mo’s better friends did not stay in Suzhou after graduating from university, one went to Beijing and the other was in Shanghai.

Shen Gong’s daughter is also in Shanghai, so he can just find his friends.

Tang Mo was trapped in the library yesterday evening. After returning home, he filled his stomach first, then packed some clothes and stuffed them into his suitcase. Things are packed, but there is a more serious problem –

He doesn’t have a car.

From Suzhou to Shanghai, it only takes half an hour by high-speed rail, or an hour by car.

The high-speed rail will definitely not be able to operate now, Tang Mo doesn’t dare to imagine the current situation on the railway. If, like on the street, the driver suddenly disappears, countless cars crash one after another. On the railway, the uncontrolled trains may have also crashed into a ball.

He needs a car.

Tang Mo walked upstairs and knocked on the landlord’s door. After three minutes, there was no response from the door. He picked up the iron plate hand he brought from the house and smashed the door lock with force.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a very strong gas odor.

Tang Mo’s eyes narrowed, and he hurried to the kitchen to turn off the gas stove and open the window for ventilation.

There were still chopped vegetables on the kitchen table, apparently the owner of the house was preparing to cook a delicious breakfast before disappearing. Tang Mo left school a year ago and rented this house. The landlord was a very nice old couple who lived upstairs. The old couple had nothing to do at home after retirement, and sometimes invited Tang Mo upstairs for dinner.

Tang Mo did not have a car, and used to borrow a car from the landlord.

He took out the car keys from the drawer under the TV cabinet, checked around, and found that there was really no one in the house, then opened the door and left.

Shanghai is too close to Suzhou, and driving will not consume too much gas, but after getting in the car, Tang Mo realized that the landlord’s car was really out of gas, and the pointer was approaching the red line. Based on this amount of fuel, at most halfway, he would have to break down halfway.

Just go ahead and refuel.

Tang Mo inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it to the right. Just as he started the car, a sharp pain suddenly invaded his heart. As if the heart was being pressed hard by a big hand, Tang Mo’s face turned pale in an instant, his heart was beating thumpingly, and the blood flow in his whole body was extremely fast.

His body temperature rose rapidly at an unimaginable rate.

40 degrees in a minute!

However, the high temperature of 40 degrees did not burn out Tang Mo’s brain. His consciousness was extremely clear, and he clearly felt a sharp sharp knife cutting flesh on his heart. The body temperature is still rising, and the excruciating pain in the heart is gradually increasing.

Tang Mo punched the front passenger seat, but it didn’t relieve the pain.

The severe pain made his consciousness gradually blur.

Ten hours later, when Tang Mo woke up, it was already pitch black. While in a coma, his clothes were wet with sweat again and again, then air-dried, and then soaked in sweat again. After repeating this back and forth many times, his heartbeat returned to normal, and the unexplained pain disappeared.

Tang Mo’s face was still a little ugly, but his eyes were extremely sharp and bright.

He touched his chest, the heart had returned to normal beating. I checked the rest of my body again and nothing was out of the ordinary.

Then he reached out and grabbed a book from the air.

He completely grabbed the book out of the air, but there was no surprise on Tang Mo’s face. This is a notebook-like book with a yellow-brown hardboard kraft paper cover. When the book is opened, it is blank. Tang Mo stared at the blank paper earnestly. Under his gaze, lines of words appeared on the white paper.

[Ability: Eat and wipe without giving money]

【Owner: Tang Mo】

【Type: special type】

[Function: Collect abilities]

[Remarks: Everyone has a dream in their hearts, no money to eat and wipe! Don’t look at Tang Mo’s appearance, he knows the face but not the heart, he always wants to do this kind of thing. Tang Mo stole a neighbor’s child’s chocolate at the age of seven, but didn’t pay him; when he was ten, he copied the homework at the same desk, but didn’t pay him; No money!

You see, he just wanted to eat clean and not give money! 】

Tang Mo: “…”

are you crazy! ! !

Tang Mo almost wanted to slap the book on the wall.

Fortunately, he endured.

This is his power.

When Tang Mo woke up, he knew that he had supernatural powers. His supernatural power is neither wind, fire, thunder nor natural power, but a book, or a book that makes people want to slap it to death.

Tang Mo kept flipping through the book, but unfortunately, except for a few pieces of information displayed on the first page, there were no other words on the book. He read it for half an hour and didn’t see any clues. After reading for a long time, another line of words appeared in the book.

[Note: You thought Tang Mo would give money? Friend, he is thinking about going to the gas station to refuel or not to give money! 】

Tang Mo: “…”

“boom–”

A book was thrown out of the car window.

After a minute, the thin and handsome young man got out of the car and picked up the book blankly.

The book was placed in the passenger seat, and Tang Mo didn’t look at it again. He drove the car to the nearest gas station. The gas station was dead silent, no one was there. Several refueling pipes fell on the ground casually, and the pungent diesel oil flowed all over the place. It was estimated that the staff members were refueling and suddenly disappeared.

Tang Mo paused before getting out of the car, and took out the wallet from the back seat.

There was obviously no one in this gas station, and he still shouted, “Anyone?”

Without getting a response, Tang Mo walked directly to a gas dispenser. A card has been inserted into the tanker, which is commonly used by the staff. Every staff member at the gas station has a card with a high limit, which they debit directly from the card to fuel the driver.

Tang Mo didn’t own a car, nor did he have a personal fuel card, so now he can only use the staff’s card for fuel.

In the quiet and empty gas station, the tall and thin black-haired young man quickly filled up the gas. The dark night always makes people feel nervous. This was originally a very prosperous area of Suzhou Industrial Park, but now there is no one. Only Tang Mo is standing under the bright lights, fueling his car.

There seemed to be something hidden in the surrounding darkness, and more sharp wind whistled past.

Tang Mo put the gas pipe back. Before leaving, his expression changed, as if he had thought of something, he took out two hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and placed them on the ground of the gas station.

Just as he got up and was about to return to the car, suddenly, a cold object pressed against his lower back, Tang Mo maintained a bent posture and did not move.

“Don’t move! Get your wallet out, hurry up!”
