The Earth is Online - Chapter 150
[Chapter 150]
“Om-”
A rumbling mechanical crash sounded violently.
When Tang Mo opened his eyes, his first reaction was to cover his ears, and after getting used to the harsh sound, he slowly released his hands. He looked around, observed the surrounding environment, and quickly raised his head to look at the copper-colored “moon” above his head.
This is an extremely eerie black steel forest. A dark tree with a height of tens of meters rose up into the sky, covering the sky, leaving only a small circular opening with a red moon in the center. On the surrounding black trees, a layer of sticky liquid continued to flow down the bark. The pungent smell of engine oil made Tang Mo frown. He turned his head, and his eyes quickly met Fu Wenduo.
The two looked at each other, nodded lightly, and turned their eyes to the other three.
I saw that under the dim reddish moonlight, in this black steel forest, the three players slowly opened their eyes and looked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo.
One of the players was Li Miaomiao, she silently stood beside Tang Mo, which was what Ruan Wangshu told her.
The other two were not surprised when they saw the situation clearly, and apparently they had also participated in many multiplayer games. Their reactions were the same as Tang Mo, they immediately observed the surrounding environment, and after determining where they were, the five gathered together. Tang Mo looked at the two of them calmly and carefully looked at them. This is a man and a woman. The man looks very calm, and the woman’s face is pale, but she remains calm. After looking at it for a while, Tang Mo’s eyes finally fell on the man in the suit and hat.
At the beginning of the game, everyone carefully scrutinized their teammates, but did not speak.
After a while, the short-haired woman couldn’t help but speak, with a relaxed tone: “It seems that this time is a multiplayer tower attack game… I have participated in similar games before, and it should be the same based on your expressions. Then we are teammates for the time being. Now, let’s get to know each other first?” As she said that, her vigilant gaze swept across everyone’s faces, and there was a hint of caution in her eyes when she saw the man in the top hat.
Tang Mo raised his eyebrows: This woman and that man do not know each other.
Before entering the tower attack game, Ruan Wangshu once said to Li Miaomiao that in this game, she must listen to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo throughout the game. Tang Mo didn’t speak, and Li Miaomiao stood coldly aside with arms folded, ignoring the short-haired woman. Seeing that no one answered her, the woman’s expression gradually became ugly.
This woman is right, they are indeed teammates now and need to get acquainted. However, just as Tang Mo was about to answer, a pleasant voice sounded——
“It makes sense.” Everyone turned their heads and looked at the man who was speaking. Under the faint red moonlight, a strange man leaning on a cane smiled slightly, stretched out his left hand and took off his top hat, revealing a head of blond hair. He made a gentleman’s ceremony, then raised his head and said with a chuckle, “My lady, what do you want to know?”
Tang Mo narrowed his eyes, staring at the blond man who suddenly spoke.
Even the short-haired woman was taken aback by his strange reaction. After a while, she said in a strange tone, “…Introduce yourself?”
The blond man smiled noncommittally. He tilted his head and looked at Tang Mo and the others with a smile. The smile on his face seemed to be measured with a ruler, elegant and accurate, and the angle of the raised lips was just right. Those azure blue eyes were full of smiles, and he said, “Follow this lady’s words, my name is Greya.”
Li Miaomiao glanced at the man and whispered, “Foreigners?”
Greya’s gaze swept to Li Miaomiao, Li Miaomiao stood up straight, coughed, and looked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. After being affirmed by the two, she put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and said lazily, “My name is Li Miaomiao.”
Fu Wenduo: “Victor.”
Tang Mo: “Tang Ji.”
Li Miaomiao was not surprised by their use of pseudonyms. After all, these two are quite famous in China. When the Black Tower did not announce the player’s name, it would be better to use a pseudonym to complete the game.
Hearing their answers, the blond man didn’t change his face, and the short-haired woman stared at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo cautiously, obviously knowing that they used fake names. “My name is Zhao Xiaofei.”
After getting to know each other, we temporarily became teammates.
In this case, a temporary captain is needed to decide what everyone is going to do. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be left to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. But Li Miaomiao waited for a long time, but did not wait for the two to speak. She looked at Tang Mo strangely, but Tang Mo just happened to be looking at her. The two looked at each other for a while, and Li Miaomiao’s eyes stared: … I’ll be the captain? !
Tang Mo nodded.
Li Miaomiao: Wait, let me listen to everything before you leave.
Tang Mo: So we let you be the captain.
Li Miaomiao: “…”
Li Miaomiao was very reluctant. In the past, when she entered the dungeon with Ruan Wangshu and others, she didn’t have to use her brain, she just followed the big army to do things. When the sky fell, Ruan Wangshu was standing in front of her, and it was impossible to practice Yuzheng and Qi Heng. Well now, the first time she cooperated with someone other than Tianxuan, she was reduced to the point of selling her brain power.
Li Miaomiao was depressed for a while, and when she raised her head again, her face changed slightly, and she said calmly, “Everyone should have heard what Heita said just now, we are now in Schrodinger’s steel forest. It is useless to stay here, we might as well try You can’t just sit back and wait to get out of this forest.”
After all, she is the core member of Tianxuan. Li Miaomiao is not stupid, and her words have been approved by everyone.
The forest was dimly lit, illuminated only by the red moonlight. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo took out their flashlights and prepared to stand one in front of the team and one behind the team, trying to get out of the forest. Fu Wenduo stood directly at the front of the team. Tang Mo was about to walk to the end when a man stopped him: “How can the lady be interrupted?”
Tang Mo paused: “I’m a man.”
Grea shook her head: “In the eyes of a gentleman, everyone is a lady who needs to be taken care of.”
Tang Mo: “…”
Tang Mo ignored him and stood at the end of the team. Grea smiled when she saw this, and didn’t stop it. Dareqing, this guy is just talking about it, and he doesn’t really plan to break up. After turning on the flashlight, Fu Wenduo began to look for the way. Tang Mo stood at the end of the team, and took in the four people in front of him well.
Fu Wenduo stood first, followed by Zhao Xiaofei, then Li Miaomiao and Greya.
Apart from Fu Wenduo and Li Miaomiao, among the other two unfamiliar players, the one that made Tang Mo the most strange was this Greya.
Tang Mo had met several foreign players, such as Jakes. After the earth went online, the black tower divided the game area according to the region. As long as the human beings who stayed on the land of China before the earth went online, they belonged to the players of China, and they may have encountered them in the black tower game of China. However, Tang Mo had seen several foreign players, and this was the first time he had seen it… so inexplicable.
Grea leaned on a short black staff in her right hand and walked gracefully behind Li Miaomiao. His walking posture was very stable, and there was no lame or broken leg. A few blond hairs sprang from the top hat from time to time, looming on the back of the head. This person wore a dark red dress, a top hat, and a pair of small leather boots on his feet, so he didn’t fit in with the other four players.
However, Tang Mo also saw a lot of weird people. After the earth went online, many human beings were forced to change their personalities by the cruel Black Tower game. There are even cannibalistic murderers, and it is not incomprehensible that such people like to wear fancy clothes. But he wears such clothes for the game of the Black Tower…
Tang Mo cautiously stared at the man’s top hat and short staff.
Two possibilities. The first is that this man is a weirdo who likes to play cosplay, so he just said some nonsense and behaved so strangely. Second, this is actually his disguise. Under what circumstances does a human need to disguise like this and dress so strangely? The clothes on his body and the top hat on his head are very unsuitable for combat, but he is wearing such clothes to participate in the tower attack game. unless……
This is his prop.
Tang Mo looked at Greya’s back with a calm expression.
The five people searched for an hour in the steel forest, but couldn’t find any exit.
Time passed by, Zhao Xiaofei said, “It can’t go on like this. These big steel trees look exactly the same, and the light is very dark, so it’s not easy to mark. We don’t know how big this forest is, and the black tower doesn’t give us anything. Prompt. Let’s find them separately, otherwise it’s a waste of time.”
Tang Mo: “I only have two flashlights in total.”
Zhao Xiaofei: “How about splitting into two teams?”
Li Miaomiao got the hint from Tang Mo’s eyes: “Okay. In this way, Tang Ji and I are in a team, and you. We are in a team of three. Victor, Grea, uh, you are all foreigners. , you two are a team.”
Fu Wenduo, a foreigner, looked at Tang Mo when he heard the words. Tang Mo put one hand in his pocket: it’s better for you to stare at him.
Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows.
The crowd quickly divided into two teams, split up to find the exit of the forest, and agreed to gather in place an hour later. Before leaving, Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo: Be careful of that man.
Fu Wenduo raised the corners of his mouth: Good.
Tang Mo flashed a flashlight and led the two women to search in the steel forest.
The rumbling sound they heard as they entered the forest was the sound of the wind blowing the trees. Ordinary trees were blown by the wind, making the sound of rustling leaves. Every tree in Schrödinger’s steel forest is made of black steel. When the high-altitude hurricane blows up, the steel leaves collide, making a regular metal crash.
The three Tang Mo walked in the forest for a long time. Probably because they were both women, Zhao Xiaofei had always kept a distance from Tang Mo, stood very close to Li Miaomiao, and always wanted to talk to her. It was best that the two of them could reach an alliance. But Li Miaomiao was very cold and didn’t want to get closer to Zhao Xiaofei. Zhao Xiaofei tried twice and could only give up.
Tang Mo counted the time silently in his heart, and when he came to the middle of the two huge steel trees, he stopped. Tang Mo: “The time is almost up, we can turn back.”
The two women nodded.
Just as the three of them were about to turn their heads, suddenly, a beam of sparks flew into the sky from a distance. Tang Mo was immediately stunned, and the three of them looked at the flare in surprise. The next second, they walked away, and it took twenty minutes to find Fu Wenduo and Grea.
Tang Mo asked directly, “Have you found the exit?” He looked around, everyone was still in the forest, and they didn’t see the so-called exit.
Fu Wenduo first shook his head, then nodded, and raised his finger to the west.
Tang Mo looked in the direction of his fingers. At first, he didn’t understand the meaning of the other party. Slowly, his face changed and he narrowed his eyes and stared into the distance. After a long time, even Li Miaomiao and Zhao Xiaofei saw that thing. Zhao Xiaofei said in shock, “What is that?!”
Whatever it was, now the five-player game of the Dark Tower is deadlocked, and they have to go and see what’s going on.
Everyone cautiously approached the strange thing, and when they got close, they were even more surprised.
Zhao Xiaofei’s eyes widened: “What the hell is this…”
This is a huge round tray.
When looking at it from a distance just now, everyone only saw a small black circular object suspended in the air, very much like a UFO. But after approaching, they found that this thing is not floating in the air, and a steel rod with a length of tens of meters and a thick wrist supports it below it and connects it with the earth.
In short, it’s like a black plate in mid-air supported by chopsticks. It’s just that the plate was so huge that Tang Mo felt that the thin steel rod couldn’t hold it up and should have been crushed by it. But it just held up, and despite the hurricane in the forest, neither the steel rod nor the tray swayed.
At first, everyone stood cautiously outside the tray, looking at the steel bars and the tray.
They watched for a long time and there was no accident. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked at each other, Fu Wenduo stepped forward, entered the shadow shrouded in the tray, and observed the steel rod. When he walked ten meters to the steel rod, suddenly, a clear child’s voice sounded in the steel forest——
“Ding Dong! Trigger side mission 1: Enter Schrodinger’s steel fortress.”
