The road from Suzhou to Shanghai was blocked by a lot of cars. They hadn't reached the highway when Tang Mo got off the car twice, pushing away the vehicles blocking the road and making way for them.
Yes, he pushed away all these cars by himself.
After the black tower incident, Tang Mo discovered that in addition to his abilities, his physical condition and psychological quality had greatly improved.
One was the change in physical conditions. His strength, eyesight, recovery ability and skin became as hard as iron.
When Tang Mo tricked Qian Sankun into letting him go to the trunk to get clothes, he deliberately used the trunk lock to test the hardness of his skin. The palm of the hand was one of the most delicate parts of the body. The sharp lock scratched the palm but didn't leave a wound. The pain wasn't even obvious. Thus, Tang Mo decisively fought back against Qian Sankun. It was because of the improvement in his physical condition that Qian Sankun's knife couldn't pierce his bones, only leaving a bloody mark.
The other was the improvement in his psychological quality.
Tang Mo hadn't won a certificate for being a good student since he was a child but he hadn't done anything bad. Petty theft, no; he didn't even bother to cheat on exams.
This was the first time he killed someone.
Even if it was self-defense and he accidentally killed Qian Sankun, he still killed someone.
Apart from that moment of panic and helplessness, he quickly calmed down and thought about what to do next.
He didn't know if he had become cold-blooded because of the sudden change in his body or if he was like this to begin with.
Tang Mo glanced at the book on the passenger seat before turning his gaze away. He looked calmly ahead and continued to drive.
The one-hour drive was infinitely lengthened because they had to clear the road. The sky was white and Tang Mo had just entered the Shanghai boundary. He hadn't gotten off the highway yet. There were still two kilometres from the toll booth when seven cars collided and blocked the highway.
Tang Mo got out of the car and started pushing it.
Creak —
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground was clear and loud on the empty highway. The seven cars were seriously colliding. The four cars in front had been crushed into discs and the fence in the middle of the highway was crooked. Tang Mo moved the cars from the back to the front. After a long time, he finally moved to the first car.
"Is it a luxury car?" Tang Mo smiled.
The first car was a Maserati sports car. Its fiery red body was now smashed into pieces. After all, it was a luxury car. Even though it was smashed to this extent, the tires were still embedded in the wheels and did not roll around.
The cold autumn wind blew and Tang Mo pushed the Maserati away. Just as he was about to open his car door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and frowned. "Who is it?"
What answered him was the rustling of the wind.
Tang Mo didn't open the door. He stood next to the car and pressed his finger against the match tattoo on his wrist. He asked coldly, "Who is there?"
Still, no one appeared.
Tang Mo wasn't in a hurry as he walked towards the pushed Maserati. His footsteps were light and his body was tense. He was alert to any changes that might occur. He placed his hand on the Maserati's damaged body and was about to pull it open when he suddenly heard a trembling voice. "Don't, I … I'll come out, I'll come out myself. I mean no harm. "
Tang Mo looked up at the young man coming out from behind the Maserati.
It was a black-haired young man who was about 180 centimeters tall. He wore a thin white shirt and a pair of jeans. His clothes were torn and stained with a lot of blood. There were several scars on his body but they were all scarred and no longer bleeding.
In the cold wind, the man's lips were cold and purple. He raised his hands and walked out from behind the car, looking at Tang Mo with horror.
"I am the owner of this car. I mean no harm. I just saw you push the car. If I wanted to attack you, I would have done it while you were pushing the car. "
Tang Mo looked at him for a moment before asking, "Why didn't I find you when I was pushing the car?"
The young man said, "I just hid under the highway. It is too cold here. There is a lot of grass there and it is a little warmer. I was driving from Nanjing to Shanghai yesterday morning. When I was about to reach Shanghai, the cars behind me hit me for some reason. When I woke up, I found that I was thrown out the window but I didn't die. Then I found … "There was a trace of fear on his face." I found that there was no one in the cars that rear-ended me. There wasn't even a drop of blood! "
Tang Mo looked at him lightly and didn't relax his vigilance. "They disappeared. When the black tower announced the start of the game, you might have been in a coma because of the car accident. Now there are less than 500 million people left in the world. The others … "Tang Mo pointed to the rear-ended cars." They disappeared inexplicably like them. "
The young man's eyes widened with fright and he shivered in the cold wind. He looked at the cars that rear-ended him and then at Tang Mo, whispering, "My home is in Shanghai. You are going to Shanghai. You … can you take me with you? I just saw that you are very strong and can push these cars away. Take me with you. I will give you money when I go back. I will give you as much as you want. "
Tang Mo listened to this and smiled softly.
The young man looked at him with a bewildered expression.
Tang Mo said, "I am going to Shanghai. It is fine to take you with me. But do you think money is still useful in this world? "
The young man was startled and his face gradually turned pale. He seemed to understand what kind of world he was about to face.
Tang Mo got in the car and the young man sat in the front passenger seat. Tang Mo quietly took the book from the car seat and put it on the inside of his seat. He had just put the book away when it slowly disappeared. Tang Mo was slightly surprised but quickly calmed down and drove to Shanghai with the young man.
"My name is Li Wen." The young man wrapped a coat that Tang Mo lent him and shivered. "Thank you very much. I woke up less than two hours ago and ran to the toll booth in front of me. There was no one there. I didn't know what to do and returned to my car. It didn't take long for me to see you. You are really strong. My trench coat was in the car but the car was crushed and I couldn't take it out. I almost froze to death. "
"My name is Tang Mo." Tang Mo asked casually, "Are you not strong?"
Li Wen shook his head. "It shouldn't be very strong. I couldn't push away those cars and I couldn't take out my trench coat."
"But you didn't die, right?"
Li Wen stared blankly at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo drove with one hand and said lightly, "You survived such a big car accident and didn't lose an arm or a leg … don't you think something is wrong?"
Li Wen was stunned.
Tang Mo didn't say anything more and Li Wen lowered his head, thinking about something. However, his expression was revealed on his face. Tang Mo glanced at him and knew that this person must be thinking about what happened to his body. How could he have such a strong recovery ability and not die?
Tang Mo seemed to be driving easily but his attention was on Li Wen.
At this time, it was safest to be alone but it was better to have a companion. Li Wen should be like him, participating in a black tower game and surviving to win. Tang Mo didn't dare take such a person lightly. However, based on his observation, Li Wen seemed to be a silly rich second generation and wasn't a threat.
In addition, if he really let the other person continue to foolishly stay on the highway, Tang Mo really felt that … this person might die.
Li Wen asked, "Tang Mo, can you tell me what the black tower announced when I was unconscious?"
Tang Mo briefly explained the black tower incident.
"Are you going to Shanghai to find a relative? I am very familiar with Shanghai. Do you need help? "Li Wen asked.
Tang Mo had been to Shanghai several times but he wasn't a local and it was difficult to find someone. He said, "I am going to Shibei Li to find a student. I only know her name and plan to go to the school to find her file. If she isn't at school, then I will go to her home. "If she wasn't at either place then there was nothing he could do. This was the only thing he could do for the huckster.
Tang Mo didn't say that he was going to find a friend. Everyone had to have reservations and he hadn't confided in Li Wen yet.
Li Wen said, "Shibei Li? It is in the Jing 'an District. My home is in the Jing' an District and I went to junior high school there. I will go with you. It is convenient. "
Tang Mo looked at Li Wen with a strange expression.
Was he really stupid or was he so deep that people couldn't figure out what he was thinking?
Tang Mo thought about it and felt that it was likely the former.
Li Wen put on his coat and his body warmed up. He spoke more.
"We will get off the highway and pass through Shibei Li first. Then we will go in and find someone. Do you know which class the child is in? If you know the class, it will be easier to find the file. "
Tang Mo replied, "I only know her name. Yes, she is in the first grade. "
Li Wen nodded. "It will be easier to find if she is in the first grade."
After a few more words, Li Wen hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Can I ask Tang Mo, do you know … what is going on with the black tower? Why did some people disappear and others didn't? "
He said so much but in the end, he just wanted to ask this question.
Li Wen had been in a coma since the car accident. He had lost a lot of information compared to Tang Mo. He helped Tang Mo to thank the other party for bringing him back to Shanghai. On the other hand, he wanted to obtain information about his current situation.
However, since he asked this, it meant that he probably hadn't participated in the black tower game.
Tang Mo frowned slightly.
Could people who hadn't participated in the game survive? He licked his lips and thought for a moment, thinking about how to answer Li Wen. He was just about to open his mouth when a loud and cheerful song rang through Shanghai.
“Thank-you,
thank-you,
Let’s
day！”
The cheerful and joyful song was incompatible with the dead city but it still kept singing. Tang Mo braked directly. Li Wen raised his head in panic and looked at the huge black tower suspended over the centre of Shanghai. Tang Mo braked directly and Li Wen raised his head in panic, looking at the huge black tower suspended over the center of Shanghai.
Tang Mo directly braked and Li Wen raised his head in panic, looking at the huge black tower suspended over the centre of Shanghai. Tang Mo held his breath and stared at the black tower.
Then he heard —
"Ding dong! China District 1's stowaway, Fu Wenduo, has successfully opened the black tower's first floor. In three minutes, all players in China will start attacking the tower! "
"Ding dong! China District 1's stowaway, Fu Wenduo, has successfully opened … "
"Ding dong! China District 1's stowaway, Fu Wenduo … "
The black tower broadcasted the information three times for the first time.
