"Buzz —"
A series of rumbling mechanical collisions rang out.
Once Tang Mo opened his eyes,
His first reaction was to cover his ears. Once he adapted to the harsh sound, he slowly let go of his hands. He looked around,
Observing the surrounding environment,
He quickly raised his head and looked at the red 'moon' above his head.
This was an extremely strange forest of black steel. Dark trees that were tens of metres high rose into the sky,
Covering the sky, leaving only a small circular opening,
In the centre of the small opening was a red moon. On the surrounding black trees,
A layer of sticky liquid flowed down the bark. The pungent smell of engine oil made Tang Mo frown and he turned his head,
His eyes quickly met with Fu Wenduo's.
The two of them glanced at each other,
Gently nodded,
And turned their eyes to the other three people.
They saw that in the dim red moonlight,
In this black steel forest, 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,
This was what Ruan Wangshu told her.
The other two people weren't surprised to see the situation. They had obviously participated in multiplayer games before. Their reaction was the same as Tang Mo's.
They immediately observed the surrounding environment and determined where they were.
The five people gathered together. Tang Mo looked at the two people calmly.
He carefully looked at them. It was a man and a woman.
The man looked very calm while the woman was a bit pale but still remained calm. After looking for a long time, Tang Mo's eyes finally fell on the man in the suit and hat.
At the beginning of the game, everyone carefully examined their teammates and didn't speak.
After a moment, the short-haired woman couldn't help but speak in a relaxed tone, "It seems that this is a multiplayer tower attack game … I have participated in similar games before. Looking at your expressions, it should be the same. Then we are teammates for the time being. Let's get to know each other first? " As she spoke, her vigilant eyes swept over everyone's faces. There was a hint of wariness in her eyes when she saw the man in the hat.
Tang Mo raised an eyebrow. This woman and the man didn't know each other.
Before entering the tower attack game, Ruan Wangshu told Li Miaomiao that she must listen to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's words in this game. Tang Mo didn't speak and Li Miaomiao stood coldly to the side, ignoring the short-haired woman. Seeing that no one answered her, the woman's expression gradually turned ugly.
This woman was right. They were teammates now, and they needed to get to know each other. Tang Mo was just about to answer when a sweet voice was heard.
"That makes sense." Everyone turned around and looked at the man who spoke. Under the faint red moonlight, a strange man with a cane smiled and took off his hat with his left hand, revealing his golden hair. He made a gentleman's salute, then raised his head and chuckled.
Lady, what do you want to know? "
Tang Mo's eyes narrowed as he stared at the blond man who suddenly spoke.
Even the short-haired woman was shocked by his strange reaction. After a while, she said in a strange tone, "… Introduce yourself?"
The blond man smiled. He tilted his head and smiled at Tang Mo and the others. The smile on his face seemed to be measured with a ruler. It was elegant and precise, and the angle of his lips was just right. The blue eyes were full of smiles as he said, "In accordance with this lady's words, my name is Grecia."
Li Miaomiao glanced at the man and whispered, "Foreigner?"
Grecia's eyes swept to Li Miaomiao. Li Miaomiao straightened, coughed and looked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. After getting confirmation from the two of them, she put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and said lazily, "My name is Li Miaomiao."
Fu Wenduo said, "Victor."
Tang Mo said, "Tang Ji."
Li Miaomiao wasn't surprised by their use of pseudonyms. After all, these two people were quite famous in China. In the case that the black tower didn't announce the players' names, using pseudonyms was better for completing the game.
The blond man's expression didn't change when he heard their answer. The short-haired woman stared cautiously at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, apparently knowing that they used pseudonyms. "My name is Zhao Xiaofei."
After getting to know each other, everyone temporarily became teammates.
In this case, a temporary captain was needed to decide what everyone was going to do. It was reasonable to leave this matter to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. However, Li Miaomiao waited for a long time and the two of them didn't speak. She looked strangely at Tang Mo and didn't expect Tang Mo to also look at her. The two of them stared at each other for a moment before Li Miaomiao's eyes widened. … I'm going to be the captain?
Tang Mo nodded.
Li Miaomiao: Wait, before we left, you told me to listen to you.
Tang Mo: That's why we made you the captain.
Li Miaomiao, "…"
Li Miaomiao was very reluctant. In the past, she didn't have to use her brain when she entered an instance with Ruan Wangshu and the others. She just followed the group and if the sky fell, Ruan Wangshu would be in front of her. If it didn't work, there was Lian Yuzheng and Qi Heng. Now it was her first time working with people outside of Tian Xuan and she was reduced to selling her brain.
Li Miaomiao was depressed for a long time before her expression changed slightly. She said calmly, "Everyone should have heard what the black tower just said. We are now in Schrodinger's Steel Forest. It doesn't help to stay here. We might as well try to get out of this forest. We can't sit still. "
After all, she was a core member of Tian Xuan and Li Miaomiao wasn't stupid. Everyone agreed with her.
The forest was dim and only illuminated by the red moonlight. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo took out flashlights, preparing to stand in front of the team and try to walk out of the forest. Fu Wenduo stood directly at the front of the team. Tang Mo was about to walk to the back when a person stopped in front of him. "How can you let a lady bring up the rear?"
Tang Mo's body stiffened. "I'm a man."
Grecia shook his 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 back of the team. Grecia smiled at the situation and didn't stop him. This guy was just talking and didn't really intend to bring up the rear. After turning on the flashlight, Fu Wenduo started to look for a way. Tang Mo stood at the back of the team and saw the four people in front of him.
Fu Wenduo stood in the first place, followed by Zhao Xiaofei, then Li Miaomiao and Grecia.
Apart from Fu Wenduo and Li Miaomiao, Tang Mo felt the most strange about the other two unfamiliar players was Grecia.
Tang Mo had met several foreign players, such as Jack. After the earth went online, the black tower divided the game regions according to the region. As long as a human stayed on the land of China before the earth went online, they were Chinese players and could be encountered in the black tower games. Tang Mo had met several foreign players but this was the first time he saw … such an inexplicable person.
Grecia held a short black cane in his right hand and walked elegantly behind Li Miaomiao. His walking posture was very smooth and there were no signs of lame legs or broken legs. A few blond hairs occasionally emerged from his hat and appeared at the back of his head. This person was wearing a crimson formal attire, a top hat, and a pair of small leather boots. No matter how one looked at him, he didn't fit in with the other four players.
However, Tang Mo had also seen many strange people. After the earth went online, many humans were forced to change their personalities by the cruel black tower games. There were even murderers who ate people. It wasn't incomprehensible for someone to like to wear strange clothes. But he wore such clothes to participate in a black tower game …
Tang Mo stared cautiously at the man's hat and cane.
There were two possibilities. The first was that this man was a weirdo who liked to cosplay. That was why his mouth was so messy and his behaviour was so strange. The second was that this was actually his disguise. Under what circumstances did a human need to disguise himself like this and dress so strangely? The clothes on his body and the hat on his head weren't suitable for fighting. Yet he wore such clothes to participate in the tower attack game. Unless …
This was his prop.
Tang Mo looked at Grecia's back with a calm expression.
The five people searched the steel forest for an hour and couldn't find any exits.
Time passed and Zhao Xiaofei said, "We can't go on like this. These steel trees look exactly the same and the light is particularly dim. It's not easy to mark. None of us know how big this forest is and the black tower won't give us any hints. We should split up or it will be a waste of time. "
Tang Mo said, "I only have two flashlights."
Zhao Xiaofei asked, "Then how about splitting into two teams?"
Li Miaomiao saw Tang Mo's eyes and said, "Yes. Then I and Tang … Tang Ji and you will form a team. The three of us will form a team. Victor, Grecia, you are all foreigners so the two of you will form a team. "
The foreigner, Fu Wenduo, looked at Tang Mo. Tang Mo put one hand in his pocket. "It is better for you to keep an eye on him."
Fu Wenduo raised an eyebrow.
The group quickly divided into two teams and looked for the exit of the forest separately. They agreed to meet in one hour. Before leaving, Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo. "Be careful of that man."
Fu Wenduo's lips curved. "Okay."
Tang Mo held a flashlight and searched the steel forest with the two women.
The rumbling sound they heard as soon as they entered the forest was the sound of the wind blowing through the trees. Ordinary trees were blown by the wind, making the sound of rustling leaves. Every tree in Schrodinger's steel forest was made of black steel. Once the wind blew, the steel leaves collided, making a regular metal impact sound.
The Tang Mo trio walked in the forest for a long time. It was probably because they were both women. Zhao Xiaofei kept a distance from Tang Mo and stood close to Li Miaomiao. She always wanted to talk to her and it was best if the two of them could form an alliance. However, Li Miaomiao was very cold and didn't want to get close to Zhao Xiaofei. Zhao Xiaofei tried twice and could only give up.
Tang Mo silently counted the time in his heart and stopped when he reached the middle of two huge steel trees. Tang Mo said, "The time is almost up. We can go back."
The two women nodded.
The three people were just about to turn back when a spark shot into the sky in the distance. Tang Mo was immediately stunned and the three people looked at the signal flare with surprise. The next second, they walked away and spent 20 minutes to find Fu Wenduo and Grecia.
Tang Mo directly asked, "Did you find the exit?" He looked around. They were clearly still in the forest and didn't see the so-called exit.
Fu Wenduo first shook his head before nodding. He raised his finger and pointed to the west.
Tang Mo looked in the direction of his finger. At first, he didn't understand the other person's meaning. Then his expression slowly changed and he stared into the distance. After a long time, even Li Miaomiao and Zhao Xiaofei saw the thing. Zhao Xiaofei was shocked. "What is that?"
No matter what it was, the five people's black tower game was in a deadlock. They had to go and see the situation.
The group cautiously approached the strange thing and were even more surprised once they got closer.
Zhao Xiaofei's eyes widened. "What the hell is this …"
It was a huge round tray.
When they looked from a distance, they only saw a small black round object suspended in the air, like a UFO. Once they got closer, they found that this thing wasn't floating in the air. There was a steel bar tens of metres long and thick as a wrist below it, supporting it and connecting it to the earth.
In short, it was like a black plate being propped up by chopsticks in midair. It was just that the plate was so huge that Tang Mo felt that the thin steel bar couldn't support it and should be crushed by it. However, it was able to hold on. No matter how the hurricane in the forest blew, the steel rod and the tray did not sway at all.
At first, the group cautiously stood outside the tray and looked at the steel bar and tray.
They looked for a long time and there were no accidents. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo glanced at each other. Fu Wenduo stepped forward and entered the shadow of the tray to observe the steel bar. He was 10 metres away from the steel bar when a clear child's voice was heard in the steel forest.
