Height: 5'6

The loud voice of the Black Tower was heard around the globe, and by the time it had finished its last word, the setting sun was sinking just below the horizon. The sun faded and night fell. In the spacious courtyard, Tang Mo , Fu Wenduo stood at the entrance of the courtyard, and the Chosen Three stood close to the small building.

Both sides quickly snapped back from the dark tower's mutation, and they looked at each other in silence.

The air seemed to freeze. After a moment, Tang Mo suddenly turned around and left, Fu Wenduo also took his brother by the collar and led him away quickly. Qi Heng saw this and wanted to chase after him, but when he took a step, he was stopped by Ruan Wangshu. He said sharply, "Boss?"

The pale-faced teenager quietly looked at the direction where the Tang Mo trio had disappeared, his dark eyes dipped in a cold chill. "The situation is not good, there is some danger."

Qi Heng: "But the time limit is coming up, and the Black Tower won't give us the coordinates of his location."

"I'm not healed yet, and neither is Yu Zheng."

Qi Heng was about to say more, when Ruan Wangshu took out of his pocket a thin piece of metal with a silvery glow. On the thin piece of metal was a miniature map of Beijing, and next to the location of the Forbidden City, a small black dot of light was moving slowly. When it moved to the west gate of the Forbidden City, the black dot suddenly disappeared. The sheet of metal buzzed and shuddered, breaking into pieces and scattering into the air.

Qi Heng gritted his teeth in frustration, and after holding his tongue for half a day, he could only curse in a low voice.

Ruan Wangshu looked uncertain and raised his steps to leave.

Qi Heng : "Just let them go? That's a rare level prop, and it's still reusable. It's definitely better than the king's gold coins, and definitely better than Santa's gift bag."

Practicing Yu Zheng glanced at him as he walked away, "If you hadn't let those four idiots act without authorization, could they have known the news in advance and taken precautions?"

Qi Heng :"...... "After a few moments, he followed up and muttered, "They didn't know that Tang Mo was actually teammates with Fu Wenduo. If Fu Wenduo wasn't there, with the four of them's Time Retrogression Ability, they would have gotten their hands on him long ago."

"He and Fu Wenduo were teammates."

Qi Heng and practicing Yu Zheng bowed their heads in unison and looked towards Ruan Wangshu.

"He's strong, but not invincible. With Fu Wenduo, it's harder for us to get things from him. But also because his teammate is Fu Wenduo ...... are we afraid we won't be able to find him later?"

Beijing, Dongcheng District.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo traveled as fast as they could through the Forbidden City and out of Beijing's Second Ring Road area. Fu Xiaodi's physical fitness could not keep up with their speed for the time being, so he was carried by Fu Wenduo's collar all the way to an abandoned construction building. Fu Wen sounded reddened by the oncoming wind, and after Fu Wenduo put him down, the child gasped heavily, and his first words were, "My water, the water is still in the house without me!"

It was the mineral water he had been laboring to fill for over ten days!

Fu Wenduo strangely swept a glance at his own brother and pulled out a small miniature chicken nest from his pocket. Fu Wen Sheng looked at him blankly, only to see Fu Wenduo take out a white egg from the chicken nest and place it on the ground. In an instant, small mountains of mineral water appeared in the clearing.

Fu Wenduo : "Was going to leave there today, so I put my stuff away last night."

This is arguably the biggest surprise of all.

The barbecue meat could not be eaten, and Tang Mo was forced to leave before he had a chance to see what Fu's house was really like. There is no doubt that Fu Wenduo's home will be a dangerous place in the future, and they will not go back without special circumstances. However, Fu Wenduo had already taken everything he needed to take, so there was no problem with not going back.

With so much happening today, the trio took a break first.

Fu Wenduo took the mineral water back into the chicken coop, and it was already dark. This building is an abandoned building in the middle of construction, it should be because the earth suddenly came online and could not be built again, so it was left here in a state of disrepair. The walls of the building have not yet been completely enclosed, in this kind of place the three dare not illuminate, to prevent being seen light. Borrowing the moonlight they sat in front of a wall and calmly analyzed the things they encountered today.

"This is Beijing's Dongcheng District, which falls within the Beixinqiao area. It's relatively close to the Chosen's base camp, but if they have your coordinates, it's useless for us to hide anywhere." Fu Wenduo drew two circles on the ground with a thin wire, marking their current location and the approximate location of the Chosen Organization base, the 80th, "Obviously, Ruan Wangshu is seriously injured, and practicing Yu Zheng should be injured as well."

Ruan Wangshu's injury was easy to spot, as his limbs were uncoordinated and his movements were often slowed down when he fought Tang Mo. Practicing Yu Zheng was much better than him, but Fu Wenduo was able to recognize her abnormality at a glance when he fought her.

Tang Mo nodded, "If they are injured, they shouldn't come back to attack so soon. They didn't get any favors today, at least wait until Ruan Wangshu, and practice Yu Zheng's injuries are healed before they make their next move."

The chances of Chosen sneaking in again tonight are less than 30%, but in Tang Mo's mind, the chances of them not attacking are 10%.

"Ruan Wangshu is a smart guy, and it only took him five minutes to realize that the boots we both wore were props that resisted gravity. He won't rush to attack again."

Fu Wenduo agrees with Tang Mo.

Fu Wen Sheng hugged his legs, at the end of March, Beijing was still a bit cold. He looked at the two circles on the ground and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that the boss of the Chosen Organization is actually so young, he looks about the same as me."

Tang Mo recalled. Not to mention, Ruan Wangshu and Fu Wen sound quite similar.

Tang Mo : "He's like fourteen this year and you're twelve. You're kind of the same age."

After the Earth came online, Tang Mo hadn't seen many young children. In this cruel apocalyptic environment, except for a very few people like Ruan Wangshu, who had extraordinary abilities and whose physical qualities had been strengthened to an extremely terrifying extent, other children, although their physical qualities had been strengthened, were ultimately weaker than adults.

Physical enhancement also builds on the original foundation. A child and an adult, if the physical quality is strengthened to the same degree, the child will be much weaker than the adult. This is because no matter in terms of strength, speed, explosive power and other aspects, the child is indeed far inferior to the adult.

Ruan Wangshu is an anomaly and cannot be compared to him.

Fu Wen muttered vocally, "Even though we're the same age, he and I don't resemble each other at all. Apart from the similarity in age, we don't resemble each other anywhere."

"There's another similarity."

Fu Xiaodi raised his head and looked at his big brother.

Fu Wenduo sat against the wall, and Fu Xiaodi sat between him and Tang Mo. Fu Wenduo tilted his head back, leaning against the wall, and swept Fu Xiaodi a glance with downcast eyes, saying faintly, "You are as short as he is."

Fu Wen Voice: "......"

Tang Mo: "......"

Solid old iron!

Fu Wen sound stifled half a day, silently lowered his head, aggrieved and played with the soil.

Tang Mo thought for a moment and said: ''Xiao Sheng is actually tall, boys develop slowly, Xiao Sheng should be almost one meter six. After a few years, he will grow up. That Ruan Wangshu is a bit shorter." Well, it is Ruan Wangshu who is too short, compared to his peers, their little friend is still quite tall.

Fu Wenduo : "I was five-foot-seven when I was 12 years old."

Tang Mo: "......"

Fu Wen Voice: "......"

You're going to have to hold your tongue!

Although Fu Xiaodi did not dare to retort due to his big brother's authority, the tension between the three of them dissipated a lot after this. Tang Mo quietly glanced at Fu Wenduo, suspecting that Fu Wenduo was intentionally changing the subject and making a joke to get everyone to relax. But there were only three of them present. Fu Xiaodi, as the target of the insult, was afraid that he would not be able to laugh. Tang Mo also completely failed to get Fu Wenduo's straight man joke stems ...... cough, failed to get Fu Wenduo this very much like a straight man gay joke stems.

After a few moments, Tang Mo settled down and said earnestly, "You've all heard the update to Black Tower version 4.0."

Fu Wenduo pursed his lips, and Fu Xiaodi's face grew serious.

Tang Mo : "Starting from version 2.0 to 3.0, for both updates, the Black Tower would make a notification a few days in advance, giving the exact time and content of the update. But this time, it suddenly said it was going to update, and then suddenly aborted." Tang Mo focused on the unfamiliar name: "Hua Xia Zone 3, player Mu Hui. a name I've never heard before."

There were a total of four players in the whole of China who were more famous.

Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo, as well as Ruan Wangshu and Yu Zheng, who have just cleared the second level of the Black Tower's hard mode.

While these four were the ones who got the announcement from the Black Tower and were known to players all over the world, Mu Hui was a completely unknown name.

Tang Mo's tone is solemn: "The Black Tower sings a song just for him. It mentions Sleeping Beauty, Granny Wolf, Queen Hong Tao and the circus. Black Tower has only sung for one player since Earth Online." Tang Mo looked up at Fu Wenduo.

Six months ago, when Black Tower was just online, Fu Wenduo opened the Tower Attack game on the third day, making Black Tower surprised and excited to sing him a Thanksgiving nursery rhyme to thank Fu Wenduo for opening the Tower Attack game. But since then, no other player has been able to get Black Tower to sing specifically.

Mu Hui is the second.

Tang Mo's fingers tapped lightly on his knee as he closed his eyes in contemplation.

Fu Wen said, "The first person in the world to clear the second and third floors of the Black Tower can't make the Black Tower sing exclusively. This Mu Hui must have done something very important to get the Black Tower to turn on the Black Tower update in addition to singing. But the update failed, he should have encountered some kind of problem."

What else is important enough to make the Black Tower look the other way now?

It is no longer surprising that Fu Wenduo, the first player to clear the second floor of the Black Tower, and Andre, the first Russian player to clear the third floor of the Black Tower, have only received three global notifications from the Black Tower.

"He passed the fourth floor of the Black Tower."

Tang Mo abruptly opened his eyes and looked towards Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wen sounded surprised, "How can that be. The first person to pass the third floor of the Black Tower in Huaxia was Brother Tang, and Brother Tang only passed it yesterday. Could it be that Mu Hui was right behind Tang, and when Tang just cleared the third level, he also cleared the third level. And then he also cleared the fourth floor in one day?"

Tang Mo calmly said, "Passing the fourth floor of the Black Tower isn't impossible, as long as you pass the third floor of the Black Tower after me, you won't get an announcement from the Black Tower, time-wise. But before the Black Tower made the announcement, the third dot, in total, only flashed twice. If that means the number of people who passed the third floor of the Black Tower globally, it's two." Him and the Russian player Andre.

Tang Mo paused, he knew why Fu Wenduo guessed that his opponent had cleared the fourth floor of the Black Tower.

"Sleeping Beauty, Granny Wolf, Queen Hong Tao, Circus. The Black Tower wouldn't name these four locations for no reason, and these four locations should have a deep meaning. Assuming Mu Hui has really cleared the four levels of the Black Tower, then these four locations are most likely his four tower attack games." Tang Mo thought for a long time and looked up at Fu Wenduo, "Then ...... stowaways, reservists, and official players, the Black Tower has said it all. Three stowaways died on the road, two reservists were eaten down, and one full-fledged player attacked the tower without trying."

"Outside of those three, there's only Mu Hui. The Black Tower likes you."

Tang Mo said word for word, "What is a stowaway, a reserve, an official player ...... Mu Hui?"
