The Earth is Online - Chapter 170
[Chapter 170]
The icy child’s voice stopped abruptly in the wind, and on the distant horizon, it seemed like an illusion, and a crescent moon appeared in the dazzling sunlight. On closer inspection, the sun is back to normal. However, the moment after the black tower’s notification ended, only a crisp clicking sound was heard, and a string of bright red numbers suddenly appeared on the pitch-black giant tower.
“12:00:00”
This bright red number looks like blood, and a ferocious cut is drawn on the black tower. All over the world, everyone watched this scene in astonishment.
This is a countdown.
Time passed minute by minute, and the countdown was slowly decreasing.
Shanghai, Nanjing Road.
When the string of red countdown numbers appeared, in a dark alley, two black figures slowly emerged from the air. It was a man and a woman, both looking very young. They appeared completely out of thin air, and when they appeared, the two of them were still looking up at the black tower. They are hidden in an excellent location, dimly lit, very hidden, it is difficult for others to find their location, but they can clearly see the black tower.
When the two saw a countdown on the black tower, they were also taken aback. Then, the young man turned his head and saw the sunset that was about to sink below the horizon. His eyes widened and his voice was hoarse: “…back?”
The young woman looked much calmer. She squinted at the setting sun and saw the moon in the eastern sky.
“Moon… We really came back this time.”
No matter how calm on the surface, the rapid breathing also revealed the uncontrollable excitement in their hearts at the moment. The young men and women looked at the sun with almost greedy eyes, as if to remember it to their bones. But after only a few seconds, they seemed to have seen enough, and the two looked back and looked at each other.
The woman opened the corner of her mouth, revealing a meaningful smile: “I’m back…”
The man stroked a sharp and slender ice pick: “Eve’s game, I like the name of this game.”
Woman: “So, start the game? Ah, I seem to hear the breathing of a child.”
There was a weird low laugh in the throats of the two, and the next second, their figures suddenly disappeared in the alley, and when they reappeared, they had already entered a three-story residential building next to the alley. In the bedroom of this building, a middle-aged fat man widened his eyes and stared at the two young men and women who suddenly appeared in front of him.
He has too many things to ask. He wanted to know where the two men had come from and who they were. But he couldn’t ask any more. On the middle-aged fat man’s forehead was a dark, bloody hole. In just one second, he was pierced by an ice pick without saying a word.
With a bang, the fat man fell to the ground.
The young woman crouched down and rummaged through his body, finding several props. She sighed in disgust, and threw these props into the trash can.
The man was also helpless, he touched his neck. There was a golden four-digit number floating around his neck, and he sighed: “It’s really bad luck, it seems like an official player. It’s a pity, I wanted to try what it’s like to be a stowaways.”
The woman satirized him: “Heita didn’t say the names of a few stowaways, there was one named Fu Wenduo, who seemed to be the strongest among the pigs. Go and kill him.”
Instead, the man became interested and laughed excitedly: “It feels good to kill Fu Wenduo…”
The man and woman searched the hut and took a bottle of water from the cabinet. When they went out, the sky was completely dark and the moon was hanging high. The two seemed to have not seen the moon for a long time. They stood in front of the small building and looked at the moon hanging at the top of the black tower. After a while, the two walked towards the Bund.
To them, it seemed that there was no danger at all when walking on Nanjing Road at night.
They walked calmly on this commercial street, and the woman stopped by a shop, covered her lips and smiled. She smashed the window glass of the shop with one punch and took out a string of diamond necklaces inside, but she did not wear it around her neck. She tore the necklace to pieces, took the diamonds, and tossed them one by one.
On the empty Nanjing Road, the figure of this man and a woman walking together is very dazzling.
By the time they got to the bottom of the black tower, the woman had thrown the diamonds down to the largest pink diamond. She squinted one eye, aimed at the spire of the black tower and smashed the diamond on it. It’s a pity that the black tower is too high, and the diamond fell to the ground halfway through the flight, and a pink straight line fell under the moonlight. The moment the diamond touched the ground—
hum!
A small, almost inaudible noise sounded, the young woman’s face changed slightly, and the man turned his head.
In the dark night, several shadows jumped out from every corner. At the same time, a large red net appeared at the feet of the young couple. Like a tangled spider web, the young men were entangled in the middle of the big web, and the woman tried to tug at her feet and found it difficult to move.
The tall and strong foreign man held a large kitchen knife and threw it hard at the man and woman. The young man stepped back calmly, raised his hand and used an ice pick to counterattack the kitchen knife.
Jakes grabbed the kitchen knife, and the others who were hiding in the darkness came out one by one.
More than fifty players walked under the black tower, staring vigilantly at the pair of young men and women who were trapped in the center. It is clear that the other party has been trapped by the big net, and they are also numerous, but these more than 50 players do not relax, always beware of attacks by young men and women.
Surrounded by so many people, there was no nervous look on the faces of the young men and women. The young woman picked up the pink diamond that fell on the ground, her eyes flashed, and she quickly hid it.
The young woman looked around in the crowd, and finally turned her gaze to a young man in a white robe.
She smiled tenderly: “Are you the leader of this organization?”
Luo Fengcheng pushed his eyes: “You should have collected information long ago, and you know that there are many organizations in Shanghai, but there is no particularly large organization. More than 50 senior players who have at least cleared the second floor of the black tower cannot belong to the same organization. .”
Her cliche was discovered by the other party, the young woman was not embarrassed, but innocently threw a wink at Luo Fengcheng: “Listen to you, little handsome guy, do you know who we are?”
Luo Fengcheng raised the corners of his lips: “Team Rehart often haunts Nanjing Road. There are two members of the team. They cleared the third floor of the Black Tower a month ago. . On January 14, 2018, more than 2,000 ordinary players were massacred on Nanjing Road, and the two jumped into the time ranking.” After a pause, Luo Fengcheng was still smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold: “Transparent, No, Returners World, the most powerful and disgusting member of Rehart’s squad in Shanghai, Liu Xiao ranked 53rd in the time ranking, Liu Yuan ranked 59th…”
Luo Fengcheng smiled slightly: “Welcome back to Earth.”
Things like this happen all over the world. But not every region has arrogant returnees. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo patiently hid in an office building next to Chang’an Street to guard against possible enemies. But half an hour later, the narrow street was empty.
Tang Mo didn’t let his guard down, he and Fu Wenduo looked at each other.
Fu Wenduo nodded and continued to stay by the window, closing his eyes and listening to the surrounding movement.
Tang Mo looked at Chen Shanshan: “Although I’m ready, I never thought… There are only 320,000 transparent people left.”
Half a year ago, six billion humans disappeared, and they were the first transparent people.
A total of 6 billion people, seven months later, there are only 320,000 people left. That’s only one-tenth of Earth’s players.
Not only Tang Mo, when Fu Wenduo and Chen Shanshan heard the Black Tower announced that more than 5 million players had successfully loaded into the game, they also subconsciously thought it was the number of transparent people, but the Black Tower announced that thirty When 20,000 players loaded the game, they instantly understood who was the real minority.
The only 320,000 people left are not Earth players, but transparent people.
Tang Mo closed his eyes and thought: “This number is not impossible. They have been forced to participate in games since November last year, and there is only a ten-minute break between every two games. The time ranking list appeared in January, and they Only have more rest time. If there is no time ranking, even if the strength is as strong as Mu Huixue, it is likely to die in a certain game. Therefore, before the time ranking appears, most of the returnees have been eliminated. ”
Six billion, three hundred and twenty thousand.
1 in 20,000 chance.
Tang Mo was silent and stopped talking. In the room, Chen Shanshan and Fu Wensheng also looked down at the ground without speaking.
This probability is so low that they realize that the probability of their loved ones surviving in it is close to zero.
A low voice sounded, breaking the silence: “The Black Tower notified our name globally.”
Tang Mo looked up at him: “Well, the Black Tower reported a total of forty-five names, except for Mu Huixue, who is the returnee camp, all the other forty-four people are players from Earth, and they were once captured by the Black Tower. announced.”
The first player in each region to clear the new tower attack game will receive a global announcement from the Dark Tower. If someone clears the hard mode tower attack game, the black tower will only announce this information privately to players all over the world who have cleared the level. Therefore, there are some names that ordinary players have never heard of, but Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo know them.
Tang Mo pondered for a moment and made a decision: “Go to the election.”
This update completely exceeded Tang Mo’s expectations.
He originally imagined that the Black Tower would give the returnees special rewards because they were the first to clear the fourth floor. Unexpectedly, the black tower actually opened an additional game for the returnees, and also made a global announcement of the coordinates and names of their earth players.
Chen Shanshan: “Tianxuan should choose to cooperate with us. Beijing has announced that four people have been selected by the black tower, including the two people chosen by Tianxuan. There are seven days in the Eve game, and now is the first day, although we don’t know about Eve at the moment. How to unlock the rewards, what is the attitude of the transparent people in Beijing to the survivors of Earth, but they are still in a state of restricted rest time.”
Tang Mo nodded and said, “Well, the time rankings are no longer updated, but they are still returnees and are limited by the rest time. If you want to get rid of the time limit and truly gain freedom, you can only eliminate the players on Earth, including but not limited to the game mode… ”
This familiar statement made Tang Mo frown.
Fu Wenduo: “Although they only have 320,000 people left, they can’t be careless.”
The four discussed their future strategies, and Tang Mo directly asked Chen Shanshan what she thought of Eve’s game. The little girl recounted the allusions from the Bible, the story of Adam and Eve, and all the information about Eve she could think of, but none of the four found anything that matched “Eve’s reward”.
Chen Shanshan: “Eve appears in different Western mythology books, and the images are different. The descriptions of Eve in the Old Testament and New Testament are different. Forget the myths, and the Eve hypothesis…”
Brother Fu thought, “Could that reward be an apple? Eve stole the forbidden fruit to gain wisdom, and the forbidden fruit is an apple.”
Chen Shanshan: “It doesn’t matter what the reward carrier is, what matters is the nature of the reward.”
The night is like water, and the transparent person hides in the dark without a trace. The four decided to wait in this building for one night, and then go to the Tianxuan Base after the game time ends at 6:00 the next morning. Suddenly, there was a sharp gunshot in the silent street.
Fu Wenduo’s eyes turned cold, and he looked down the window.
I saw a middle-aged woman lying on the ground with her eyes wide open, looking at the sky, blood gurgled out from under her body, and soon stained the road red. On the other side of the street, a black shadow flashed past and leaped into the grass. Tang Mo clenched the handle of the small parasol and stared at the jumping back of this man from the high building.
The man was walking back and forth among the dense street trees like a black ghost. Moonlight shone on him through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating half of his chin and a row of golden numbers floating around his neck.
“341”
boom!
There was another gunshot, and the bullet penetrated the wall, making the sound of submerging into the flesh.
No one knows how this person saw the enemy through the wall, the number on the neck of the black shadow changed from “341” to “351”. He gave a hoarse laugh, drowned in the howling wind. The man ran farther and farther, and along the way he fired a total of three bullets, each of which hit the man, increasing the number floating around his neck.
Just as he was about to leave Tang Mo’s field of vision, the man suddenly raised his head, and his gaze met the four Tang Mo on the roof.
The next moment, the black muzzle pointed straight at Fu Wenduo, who was closest to the window. The man did not hesitate to press the trigger. Fu Wenduo reacted very quickly and turned sideways to avoid the bullets. Then there were three consecutive gunshots. At the window, only Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo showed their heads, but when Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo saw the three bullets, their expressions changed. One hugged Chen Shanshan and the other hugged Chen Shanshan. Qi Fu Wensheng quickly left the room.
At the same moment as they left the room, the bullet was fired into the wall. One of the bullets was aimed at Tang Mo, and the other two were aimed at Chen Shanshan and Fu Wensheng, who had never been seen before.
This supernatural power was so strange that Tang Mo gasped slightly while carrying Chen Shanshan on his back. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, another piercing gunshot sounded.
