Fu Wenduo checked the surroundings.
They returned to the abandoned building. At this time, Tang Mo and Fu Wensheng had packed up their things.
They were waiting for him to set off together. Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo.
Then he looked at his stupid brother.
"No problem. Let's go."
The three of them left the building.
Suddenly, Fu Wenduo turned his head and looked at Tang Mo. Tang Mo immediately withdrew his gaze.
Fu Wenduo raised an eyebrow.
… Something seemed wrong?
The bright sun shone on the earth,
Illuminating the ground with a faint layer of gold. This building was very close to the laboratory address given by Luo Fengcheng. Fu Wenduo's home was known by the Tian Xuan organization.
Fu Wensheng's home wasn't safe either. Xiao Fu's father worked in the government.
He was quite famous in Beijing. Even if Tian Xuan couldn't get Tang Mo's coordinates,
They could find Fu Wensheng's home address from the government's information and set up an ambush there.
Therefore, the three of them planned to find the research materials from the United States that Luo Fengcheng mentioned before going to Fu Wensheng's home.
The three people walked quickly on the street, using the dense trees to hide themselves.
They covered their figures. Tang Mo took out a few pieces of paper from his backpack and identified the direction based on the graphics and letters. This was the map that Luo Fengcheng left for them before leaving.
There were two black tower research institutes in Beijing. One was outside the Seventh Ring Road and the other was in the Chaoyang District. Even Luo Fengcheng didn't know their specific address.
He only knew that they were transformed from a state-level top secret research institute. The research institute that stored the data was likely the one in the Chaoyang District.
"There are 17 advanced scientific research institutes in Beijing and two in the Chaoyang District." Tang Mo looked at the simple picture on the paper.
He looked for a long time.
He sighed softly. "If we are lucky,
We should be able to find the institute in three days. If we are unlucky,
It might take a long time. "
The map that Luo Fengcheng drew was too abstract.
He roughly marked the location of several key scenic spots in Beijing and drew more than 20 letters on the map. According to him, these twenty or so places could all be research institutes. Luo Fengcheng only came to the institute once and he was in a car. He was asleep and had no memory of how he entered the institute. The reason why he was able to determine the location was based on the time it took for him to get off the plane and arrive at the research institute, as well as the places he visited during his stay in Beijing.
There were more than twenty locations, and the furthest one was dozens of kilometers away. It would take a lot of time to search through all of them.
Fu Wenduo pointed to the map. "First find location C." C was three kilometres east of their location.
The man suddenly came over and pointed at the map. Tang Mo's heart froze and he couldn't help looking at Fu Wenduo. Their gazes met in the air. A moment later, Tang Mo said calmly, "Yes, go around here."
Among the row upon row of skyscrapers, three black figures were traversing at an extremely fast speed. As he passed by a building, Tang Mo suddenly stopped, his body clinging to the wall as he stared vigilantly at the intersection not far away. He saw two middle-aged men carefully crossing the road.
"Not someone from Heaven's Chosen," Fu Wensheng whispered.
After the two players left, the three of them moved again.
Luo Fengcheng's map was abstract. They used the Temple of Heaven as the centre and drew a circle with a diameter of three kilometres. Then they searched all the suspected research institute locations within the circle.
Fu Wenduo said, "The black tower research institute is generally disguised as an ordinary university experimental research institute, hiding its true identity and protecting the researchers inside. For example, the black tower research institute in Shanghai was transformed into an ordinary marine biology laboratory. However, this kind of place is generally heavily guarded and there is a clear isolation belt around it. "
Tang Mo followed Fu Wenduo's words and gave up on ordinary office buildings.
The big buildings were hidden in the city. The office buildings were very hidden but no one would think that the confidential black tower research institute would be set up in such a place. However, there were too many people in the office building and it was easy to be discovered by the people in the same building. His target was a few isolated buildings.
In the evening, Tang Mo walked through an alley and saw an old-fashioned three-storey building bathed in the sunset. He exclaimed, "There?"
Fu Wenduo followed his gaze and nodded. "It is very likely."
The three of them crossed the road and headed towards the small building. They were just about to leave the intersection when Tang Mo's footsteps paused. He slowly turned his head and looked at the other end of the intersection. It was a very narrow area, with two one-way streets coming together to form a small crossroads. Both sides of the road were surrounded by walls, making it impossible for Tang Mo to see the situation in the other three directions when he came from the south.
Fu Wenduo also turned to look east.
Fu Wensheng took two steps forward and found something was wrong. He followed Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's line of sight. Once he saw the situation, Xiao Fu's eyes widened and he hurried back to Tang Mo's side. Fu Wenduo stood 10 metres away and waited for a moment. He carefully listened to the sounds in the air and determined that the person who fell to the ground wasn't an ambush. Then he strode forward.
Fu Wenduo checked the situation and looked up. "Dead."
On the edge of the narrow road, a middle-aged woman was lying on the ground, no longer breathing. Bright red blood flowed from her body and flowed down the sloping road into the sewer troughs on both sides. After a long time, the blood coagulated, leaving dark brown marks on the ground.
Tang Mo crouched down and reached out to touch the woman's neck. The temperature hadn't completely faded. His expression gradually sank and he looked up at Fu Wenduo. The two of them immediately understood each other's meaning.
Fu Wenduo said, "She died less than five minutes ago. She died very quickly. A knife cut the carotid artery and the vocal cords. The fatal wound was the knife from the front of the forehead. It should've been stabbed first and then the neck was cut in a very short time. The technique is very sophisticated and should've killed a lot of people. "
Fu Wensheng wondered, "Tian Xuan's people?"
Fu Wenduo shook his head. "I'm not sure but it doesn't seem like it."
Tang Mo said, "The point is … she only died five minutes ago."
Five minutes ago, the Tang Mo trio came to this block and looked for the location of the black tower research institute. They were definitely no more than 200 metres away when the middle-aged woman died. However, neither Tang Mo nor Fu Wenduo saw a suspicious figure. That was why Tang Mo was surprised to see the woman's body.
After the earth went online, players would randomly kill people on the road even during the day. There were many reasons to kill people. Most of the time, it was to grab props and resources. Some perverted stowaways didn't need a reason to kill people. They just wanted to vent their emotions. This time, the woman died in front of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's eyes and they hadn't found the murderer yet.
The murderer seemed to have evaporated into thin air.
After examining the middle-aged woman's body, Tang Mo said, "Be careful."
The trio became more vigilant, always on guard against sneak attacks from the Tian Xuan organization. If anyone could kill under the eyes of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, it was most likely the Tian Xuan organization. Half of the most powerful players in Beijing were in this organization. Maybe there were players with the ability to teleport, killing people and then disappearing. In any case, they had to be more careful.
They entered the small building without danger. Tang Mo searched for a while and found that it was just an ordinary bookstore, not the black tower research institute. He crossed the 'C' location on the map and determined that there were no enemies around. Then the trio appeared again and looked for the next location.
In three days, the Tang Mo trio walked most of the Chaoyang District and found 11 locations. Without exception, these 11 places weren't the black tower research institute.
On the fourth day, they found a robotics laboratory. Tang Mo looked at the name outside the building and his eyes brightened.
The robotics laboratory was located in a quiet small yard surrounded by ordinary bungalow residential areas. Such a two-storey building looked very old and wouldn't attract attention in these old houses. However, its yard was large enough that people outside couldn't see the situation inside the building.
Tang Mo pushed the door and entered. There were several robot models in the hall of the small building. The entire floor was an ordinary robot research room. On the second floor, the trio searched for a while before finally stopping in a small room on the innermost side of the corridor. Tang Mo reached out to open the door and pressed it. He found that the door couldn't be opened.
He looked at Fu Wenduo.
Fu Wenduo's right hand turned into a dark triangular weapon. The sharp weapon cut through the thick iron door. It was actually a robot research room! Tang Mo didn't give up. He had a hunch that something was wrong here. His eyes swept through every corner of the room and finally landed on a bookshelf against the wall.
There were many robot-related books on this bookshelf. Without exception, each book was very new, as if it had never been opened.
The next second, Tang Mo said, "Push open this bookshelf."
Fu Wenduo also noticed this and moved to push the bookshelf away. Xiao Fu was startled. "Is there something behind the bookshelf?" Then he ran over to help.
With Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's current strength, they used 50% of their strength to push the bookshelf but it only moved five centimetres. This proved that this bookshelf was unusual. Once the bookshelf was pushed open, a dark staircase hidden behind it was revealed. The bookshelf was completely pushed open, as if something had been broken by brute force.
Tang Mo planned to go down the stairs first when Fu Wenduo stopped him. "I will go down first."
Tang Mo was stunned. Looking at the man's dark eyes, he nodded and said, "… Okay."
The three people went down the stairs one after the other. The stairs were very long and they had crossed a floor to the ground. Tang Mo took out a flashlight to illuminate this strange place. There was a half-open door in front of them. Fu Wenduo pushed the door open and a long-abandoned laboratory suddenly appeared in front of the three people.
There were various black tower models and strange equations drawn on the blackboard, all indicating the true identity of this place.
The three people didn't show much surprise as they immediately searched the black tower institute. Most of the information in the institute was the same as what Fu Wenduo had seen in the Shanghai black tower institute. It was clear that both sides were exchanging information. Tang Mo had also heard from Luo Fengcheng that most of this information was wrong.
In the past six months, major countries around the world had tried their best to study the black tower's research institute. In the end, almost all of them returned without success.
They made countless hypotheses, from physical phenomena, optical reflections, cosmology, and particle theory to many conjectures. None of them could make the black tower. It was like a civilization that didn't belong to humans. Human's current scientific means were helpless against it because it was far beyond the limits of human understanding.
Tang Mo searched for a long time when Fu Wensheng suddenly shouted, "Hey, what is this?"
The group immediately turned to look.
The child took out a black safe from the corner, and on top of the safe was a blue glassware. The water in the glassware was extremely turbid. Because it had been stored for five months, the water was no longer clear. The black safe and the glassware were placed abruptly in the corner, not at all eye-catching.
Tang Mo took the glassware and observed the traces inside. He was keenly aware of many fingerprints on the outer wall of the glass. These fingerprints were layered together. This glassware was obviously often picked up and observed by more than one person. Tang Mo could distinguish more than a dozen different fingerprints.
Tang Mo had an answer in his heart. He used a flashlight to illuminate the black safe and looked at Fu Wenduo. "There must have been something in this glassware. Open this box and the information should be inside. "
Fu Wenduo had already taken out a dagger and was ready to open the box. He was holding the black dagger used against the big turkey. The dagger was just about to stab the safe when Fu Wensheng said, "Is this really the precious research information we are looking for?"
Fu Wenduo's movements suddenly stopped.
Tang Mo was startled. After a long time, he quickly said, "If it is precious information, it shouldn't be stored in an ordinary safe. There must be a trap."
Fu Wensheng was stunned. "A trap?" The child didn't expect his casual words to be so important.
