Tang Mo remembered the shape of the middle-aged man's wound and the appearance of the heart that was only half left.
He picked up his backpack.
He quietly left the mall. He left the underground parking lot of the mall. He moved carefully and agilely, leaving the mall in a few steps.
He got into the nearby commercial street.
There seemed to be fewer people on the street.
When Tang Mo entered the tower attack game seven days ago,
He could see one or two people on the street from time to time. Now he often didn't see a single person when he walked down the street. He didn't know if they were hiding or just disappeared.
Tang Mo continued to walk west. He planned to return to Suzhou.
This was Tang Mo's plan before he was forced to play the tower attack game. His friend in Shanghai had disappeared.
His other friend was far away in Beijing. Tang Mo wasn't going to travel to Beijing for the time being. He could go to Suzhou first, stabilize his foothold in a place he was familiar with and improve his strength. Once he was sure that he could cope with any emergencies along the way, he would go to Beijing to find someone.
He walked three streets and passed through two residential areas.
Tang Mo saw a white car lying on the street in the distance. He hurried over.
In the current world,
There were many cars parked in a mess on the street,
But most of them collided with each other.
It was impossible to drive again. It was very rare to see a working car. Tang Mo walked for a few kilometres before seeing this one.
The street was quiet. Tang Mo opened the front door of the car.
He sat in the driver's seat. The key was still inserted in the lock. Tang Mo twisted the key.
He was ready to start the car. But just as he turned the key with a click, the door of the house opened.
Suddenly,
His movements stopped.
Tang Mo slowly turned his head and looked at the back seat of the car.
This was an SUV-type business vehicle. The trunk was very wide. Sitting in the back seat, one could reach the things in the trunk by stretching their arms. At this moment, a pale hand was gently placed between the pillows of the back seat. The wrist of this hand was supported by the back seat and the fingers were hanging down naturally. The blood in the fingernails had coagulated black and the whole hand was glowing with a purple colour.
Tang Mo got out of the car and opened the trunk.
It was a young woman who had died a long time ago. She was stuffed into the trunk, her legs curled up, her mouth slightly open, and her eyes staring at the ceiling of the car. There was still a trace of fear and panic in her eyes. However, it was obvious that she had died very quickly. There were no signs of struggle on her body. Even her body had been stuffed into the trunk after her death, and it had long since become stiff.
Tang Mo's eyes moved down to the big hole in the woman's chest.
His heart was gone.
Tang Mo watched silently for a long time. Then he pulled the woman out and placed her in a small restaurant on the street. He covered the woman with a tablecloth from the small restaurant before returning to the car and driving away.
He drove all the way west. Sometimes the road was blocked, so he got out to push the cart.
Compared to the beginning of the game, Tang Mo was much stronger. With a light push, the wheels rolled on the ground. The journey back to Suzhou was much smoother than when he had come.
There were really fewer people in Shanghai.
In the past, it was common to see groups of three to five people in the bustling area, but now it was quiet and nothing could be seen. Sometimes it was hard to see a person. Once they heard the sound of Tang Mo's car, they would act like a frightened rabbit and hide in a building.
Tang Mo's frown became tighter. Once he drove the car to the Changning district, there was a body with a heart out in front of him. The car slowly drove past the heartless corpse. Just as it was about to turn into the next intersection, there was a sudden ear-piercing screech of the brakes. The car made a 180-degree turn, turned around, and drove back.
The bright sun shone through the window. The black-haired youth in the driver's seat pursed his lips and looked firmly ahead.
The car drove steadily in the direction of the Pudong district.
Two hours later, Tang Mo drove the car to the big shopping mall. He took his backpack and went straight into the mall.
Once he entered the mall, many players gathered here tensed up and cautiously looked at him. Half a month ago, Tang Mo had suffered such a baptism when he came here, but this time it was obviously different. These players stared at him as if they wanted to see through him. The strong vigilance and hostility couldn't be concealed, making Tang Mo feel like there was a thorn in his back.
This change made Tang Mo speed up his pace and walk to the stairwell at the end of the mall. He pushed open the stairwell door, and a large, strong hand suddenly grabbed his wrist. Tang Mo reacted very quickly and his right hand quickly retracted. The other person swept his leg towards Tang Mo's left leg. Tang Mo used the stairwell door to step back and avoid the attack.
The person exclaimed in surprise and appeared behind the door of the stairwell.
It was a young man with a crew cut. He walked out of the stairwell and closed the door behind him. His eyes were sharp as he looked at Tang Mo up and down. A moment later, he asked, "Friend or enemy?"
This defense mechanism was much stricter than last time.
Tang Mo's heart gradually sank as he said, "I came to find Luo Fengcheng."
The other person couldn't let Tang Mo in just because he said Luo Fengcheng's name. Then Tang Mo said the names of Jack, Tang Qiao, Nie Fei and Ye Yuanze. The man finally believed him and personally took him to the underground parking lot. Along the way, he never relaxed his vigilance even though his back was facing Tang Mo. As long as Tang Mo made a move, he could react at the fastest speed and respond.
Luo Fengcheng's room wasn't the same as last time. This time, they went to the third floor and made several laps before arriving at a large iron door.
The young man let Tang Mo wait outside while he went in to report. Half a minute later, he came out. "You can go in."
Tang Mo opened the door and saw Luo Fengcheng waiting for him.
Luo Fengcheng was wearing a white coat, his face a bit pale and his eyes bloodshot. When Tang Mo entered the door, he was leaning against the table. The two people's eyes met. Tang Mo's expression was calm while Luo Fengcheng's lips slowly curved, revealing a faint smile. "It really is you. When I heard Ji Feng, I thought it was you. Momo, you finally came … "
His voice suddenly stopped and Luo Fengcheng was startled.
Tang Mo understood the problem and coughed. "Don't worry about my name. I am now Momo. Did you know I would come? "
Luo Fengcheng replied, "Yes. The only thing I find strange is why you didn't come until now. "
"I dealt with something in private and was pulled into an instance." Tang Mo didn't disclose the information that he cleared the black tower's first floor. According to his speculation, the black tower only informed him when it pulled him into the tower attack game. Then the news of him clearing the instance should only be told to him. If Luo Fengcheng didn't discover it, he wouldn't say it.
Luo Fengcheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He got straight to the point. "So after you came out of the game instance, you found them and decided to find Attack."
Tang Mo frowned. "Them?"
"You don't know them yet." Luo Fengcheng said, "Since you don't know them, then it's because … you saw the bodies of the players they killed?"
Tang Mo nodded and told the situation of the bodies he saw today. "There was only one fatal wound and they died very quickly. There were no signs of struggle. After death, their hearts were all forcibly pulled away. I found one person's heart and only half of it was left. It looks like … it was eaten. "
Luo Fengcheng said, "You aren't wrong. It was eaten."
Tang Mo's heart skipped a beat.
Even if he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he really learned the truth.
"We've seen a lot of murders, and we've also seen monsters eat people. You know, I am talking about the first time we met. The big mole ate the little girl's body in front of us. "Luo Fengcheng spoke calmly." But this time in Shanghai, it wasn't a black tower monster but a human. To be precise, it was a group of stowaways. "
"Why do stowaways eat people?"
Luo Fengcheng corrected him. "It's not eating people, it's eating people's hearts. They ate the human's heart within three minutes of death. " Luo Fengcheng paused and looked up at Tang Mo. "Nie Fei died in their hands."
Tang Mo didn't speak.
He remembered Nie Fei. He was a young man in a black trench coat. When Tang Mo came out of Mario's Monopoly game, the first person he saw was this young man. He was the first member of Attack to come into contact with Tang Mo. He took the initiative to lead the Tang Mo trio to Attack's base. He didn't communicate much with Tang Mo but he had a calm personality. When he got along with the other two members, he played the role of a leader.
Tang Mo was silent for a moment. "His ability isn't an attack direction?"
Luo Fengcheng understood what he meant. "No, Nie Fei's ability is an attack direction. He used to be an ordinary college student. After awakening his ability, he mastered very strong fighting skills and flying abilities. He was very good with his knife. When he met the group of stowaways, it wasn't that he couldn't leave. He just let Tang Qiao go first. By the time Tang Qiao brought people back, his heart would have been dug out. "
"Where did those stowaways come from? Why do they eat people? What kind of abilities do they have?" Tang Mo asked three questions in a row.
Luo Fengcheng patiently explained, "There isn't a specific conclusion as to why they eat people. I guess it might be related to their abilities. However, in my observation, no one's ability is repeated. They are very obsessed with eating people, not just official players but also ordinary players and stowaways. I guess there are two possibilities for them to be so obsessed with eating people. The first is that they are ogres. After the earth went online, the government system collapsed and they are no longer restrained. They can eat people at will. "
Tang Mo asked, "How many people are there?"
"At least seven people. We have encountered seven so far."
"The possibility of them being ogres isn't high." Tang Mo calmly analyzed. "The abnormal mentality of cannibalism is very rare. There shouldn't be seven at once. The probability is very low."
Luo Fengcheng said, "There is a second possibility."
Tang Mo looked up at Luo Fengcheng and thought of the answer.
"Eating people can make them stronger."
Shanghai, Fengxian District.
A harsh scream cut through the street and a short-haired girl quickly covered her companion's mouth. "Feifei, don't scream. You will be discovered by others."
The frightened little girl quickly nodded and Chen Shanshan let go of her hand.
Qiao Feifei's eyes couldn't help staring at the body with its heart dug out. She clearly didn't want to look but she couldn't help looking at it again and again. After looking three times, she finally couldn't help turning around and vomiting under a tree.
Chen Shanshan glanced at her before going to the body and squatting down to examine it.
The murderer was obviously too violent when he pulled out the heart of the body. The victim's other internal organs and intestines were also pulled out, flowing on the ground. Thus, even though Qiao Feifei had seen a similar body before, she screamed and vomited all the food she had eaten in the past two days.
After vomiting the bile, Qiao Feifei covered her eyes and moved to Chen Shanshan's side. She said timidly, "Shan … Shanshan, let's go. This is the second body to have its heart dug out. We have to run to my hometown and take refuge in the countryside. If we run to the countryside, the murderers won't be able to find us. "
Chen Shanshan was still examining the body.
The 15-year-old girl still had a childish look on her face. At this moment, she was peeling open the wounds of the body with her hands and carefully examining every trace inside. She did such a terrible thing while saying lightly, "We have to find more supplies and it is best to buy some seeds. We can grow our own land in the countryside. Otherwise, we will soon run out of ready-made food. "
Qiao Feifei hurriedly said, "Then let's go!"
Chen Shanshan stood up. "Yesterday, the two people said that the murderers … came from the west?"
Qiao Feifei didn't understand why her companion suddenly asked this. She thought for a moment. "Yes, that seems to be the case. They escaped from the west. Many people from the west ran to the east. It is said that the murderers came from Suzhou. "
"Zhao Ziang and Liu Chen are heading west."
Qiao Feifei was stunned and murmured, "It can't be such a coincidence … even we know about the murderers. Zhao Ziang and the others must have known about it. They must have escaped long ago, just like those people. "
Chen Shanshan silently turned to look at her companion. "If there is a chance of something bad happening, then no matter how small it is, it will definitely happen."
Qiao Feifei asked, "Ah, what did you say?"
Chen Shanshan bit her lower lip and bowed her head for a long time.
"Let's go back and find Zhao Ziang."
Pudong District, the third floor of the underground parking lot.
Tang Mo's expression was solemn as he said, "Last night, I hid in a mall and there was a cannibalism incident. Before I sneaked into the mall, the middle-aged man didn't die. But from the time I went to sleep to the next morning, a total of six hours passed. He died less than 100 metres away from me. "
Luo Fengcheng said, "The stowaways are very strong. They killed ordinary reserve players in one blow and didn't make much noise."
Tang Mo shook his head. "But when he killed, he was less than 100 metres away from me." He didn't hear any sound.
Luo Fengcheng didn't know how strong Tang Mo was now but his expression became more serious after listening to Tang Mo's words.
The two of them thought about it and didn't speak. It didn't take long before the office door was pushed open and Tang Mo looked up.
It was Jack.
He didn't know when but there was a scar on the right eye socket of the foreign man. He was also stunned when he saw Tang Mo but didn't have time to greet him. He looked at Luo Fengcheng. "Dr. Luo, we saved two little boys when we were looking for those bastards. One of the boys is an official player. His ability is very good and has a promising future. Do you want to see him? "
Luo Fengcheng's interest was piqued. He always welcomed excellent reserve members. "Where are they?"
Jack hesitated. "Let's wait a bit. Dr., the boy's friend is dying. Tang Qiao and Liz are trying to save him but the hope is slim. Let the little fatty say goodbye to his friend. I will bring him to see you in the evening. "
Tang Mo read it again. "Little fatty …"
Luo Fengcheng asked, "What is the ability of the reserve member?"
A light flashed in Jack's eyes. "Very powerful! When we found them, they seemed to have been chased by the electric man for two hours. The electric man also found that the little fatty's ability was very powerful and chased him to eat his heart. We almost didn't have time to save them. Fortunately, the little fatty suddenly used his ability to move a sharp knife. The knife quickly cut off the electric man's arm and we had a chance to save them. His ability is very strong and he can move a lot of things at a very fast speed. "
Luo Fengcheng was pleasantly surprised. "Space movement?"
Tang Mo suddenly took a step forward and looked at Jack. "Is the little fatty about 1.7 metres tall, has short hair and a small red birthmark under his left eyebrow?"
Jack was surprised. "How do you know?"
