Oh MY~LADY~

"Buzz--"

There was a rumble and a fierce mechanical crash.

When Tang Mo opened his eyes, his first impulse was to cover his ears, and only after adjusting to the piercing sound did he slowly release his hands. He looks around, observing his surroundings, and soon lifts his head to the reddish-bronze "moon" above his head.

This is a bizarre black steel forest. Black trees tens of meters high rose up to the sky, covering the sky, leaving only a small round opening, in the center of which was a red moon. On the surrounding black trees, a layer of slimy liquid continuously flowed down the bark. Tang Mo frowned at the pungent smell of motor oil, and he turned his head back, his eyes quickly meeting Fu Wenduo.

The two men exchanged glances, nodded softly, and turned their eyes to the other three.

Under the dim light of the pale red moon, in this black steel forest, the three players slowly opened their eyes and looked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo.

One of the players is Li Miaomiao, who silently stands next to Tang Mo, as Ruan Wangshu has instructed her to do.

The other two were not surprised when they saw the situation clearly, and had obviously been in multiplayer games before. Their reaction was the same as Tang Mo's, immediately observing their surroundings, and after determining where they were, the five of them gathered together. Tang Mo looked at the two people with calm eyes, carefully sizing them up. This was a man and a woman, the man looked very calm, the woman's face was a bit pale, but still remained calm. After a long time, Tang Mo's eyes finally landed on the man wearing a suit and bowler hat.

When the game first started, everyone scrutinized their teammates carefully and didn't open their mouths.

After a moment, the short haired woman couldn't help but open her mouth first, her tone relaxed, "It seems that this time it's a multiplayer tower attack game ...... I've participated in a similar game before, and 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?" Saying that, her vigilant gaze swept over the faces of the crowd, a hint of caution appearing in her eyes when she saw the man in the bowler hat.

Tang Mo raised an eyebrow: the woman and the man didn't know each other.

Before entering the tower game, Ruan Wangshu had told Li Miaomiao that she had to listen to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo throughout the game. Tang Mo didn't say anything, so Li Miaomiao stood coldly with her arms wrapped around her and didn't pay any attention to the short-haired woman. Seeing that no one answered her, the woman's complexion grew ugly.

The woman was right, they were indeed teammates now and needed to get acquainted. However, just as Tang Mo was about to reply, a pleasant voice rang out-

"Fair enough." The crowd brushed their heads and turned to look at the man who had spoken. Under the light of the pale red moonlight, a strange man on crutches smiled slightly and reached out his left hand to remove his bowler hat, revealing a head of blonde hair. He made a gentleman's salute, then raised his head and smiled softly, "My lady, what do you want to know?"

Tang Mo narrowed her eyes and stared at the blonde man who had suddenly opened his mouth.

Even the short-haired woman was taken aback by his strange reaction, and only after a long time did she say in an odd tone, "...... Introduce yourself?"

The blonde man laughed noncommittally as he cocked his head and smiled at Tang Mo and the others. The smile on his face seemed as if it had been measured with a ruler, elegant and precise, and his lips were raised at just the right angle. Those azure eyes were all smiles as he said, "In deference to the lady's words, my name is Grea."

Li Miaomiao glanced at the man and whispered, "Foreigner?"

Grea's eyes swished over to Li Miaomiao, who stood up straight, coughed, and looked over at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. after receiving their affirmation, she stuck her hands in the pockets of her white overcoat and lazily said, "My name is Li Miaomiao."

Fu Wenduo: "Victor."

Tang Mo: "Don."

Li Miaomiao wasn't surprised by their use of pseudonyms; after all, these two were quite famous in China, and with the Black Tower not releasing the names of the players, using pseudonyms would be more conducive to completing the game.

Upon hearing their responses, the blonde man's face didn't change, and the short-haired woman stared cautiously at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, obviously aware that they had used false names. "My name is Zhao Xiaofei."

After getting to know each other, we all became teammates for the time being.

In such a situation, a temporary leader is needed to decide what to do, which should be left to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, but Li Miaomiao waited for half a day and didn't hear a word from either of them. But Li Miaomiao waited for half a day and didn't hear a word from them. She looked at Tang Mo strangely, but Tang Mo was looking at her as well. After a moment of staring at each other, Li Miaomiao's eyes went wide: ...... I'll be the captain?

Tang Mo nodded.

Li Miaomiao: Wait, before I go, the head told me to listen to everything you guys say.

Tang Mo : That's why we made you captain.

Li Miaomiao: "......"

Li Miaomiao was very reluctant. In the past, she didn't need to use her brain when she was working with Ruan Wangshu and others on the copy, she just followed the big team and had Ruan Wangshu in front of her when the sky collapsed, and there was also Yu Zheng and Qi Heng practicing, but now, for the first time, she was working with someone other than Chosen, and she was reduced to selling her brain power.

Li Miaomiao was depressed for a long time, and when he raised his head again, his face changed slightly, and he calmly said, "Everyone should have heard what the Black Tower said just now, and we are now in Schrödinger's Steel Forest. Staying here won't help, we might as well try to get out of this forest, we can't just sit around and wait for death."

After all, being a core member of Chosen, Li Miaomiao wasn't stupid, and her words were echoed by all.

The forest is dimly lit, illuminated only by the red moonlight. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo take out their flashlights and prepare to try to get out of the forest with one person at the front of the group and one at the back. Fu Wenduo went straight to the front of the group, and Tang Mo was about to go to the back when a man stopped him: "How can you let a lady break the back?"

Tang Mo gave a physical thump, "I'm a man."

Grea shook her head, "In the eyes of a gentleman, everyone is a lady in need of care."

Tang Mo: "......"

Tang Mo ignored him and stood at the end of the line. Grea smiled at this situation and didn't stop him. This guy was just paying lip service, he didn't really intend to break the back. After turning on the flashlight, Fu Wenduo started to look for the road, Tang Mo stood at the end of the group, and had a good view of the four people in front of him.

Fu Wenduo stood first, followed by Zhao Xiaofei, then Li Miaomiao and Grea.

Aside from Fu Wenduo and Li Miaomiao, the other two unfamiliar players that Tang Mo found most strange were this Grea.

Tang Mo has encountered several foreign players, such as Jacks. after Earth came online, the Black Tower divided the game into regions. As long as the human beings who stayed in the land of China before the launch of the Earth belong to the Chinese players, they may encounter in the Black Tower game in China. However, Tang Mo has seen several foreign players, but this is the first time he has seen ...... such an inexplicable one.

Grea walks gracefully behind Li Miaomiao with a short black staff in his right hand. He walked with a very smooth posture, with no limp or broken leg. A few strands of blonde hair scurried out of his bowler hat every now and then, looming over the back of his head. This person wore a crimson colored dress, a bowler hat on his head, and a pair of small leather boots on his feet, how he looked out of place with the other four players.

But Tang Mo has seen its share of weirdos, and after Earth came online, many humans were forced to change their personalities by the brutal Black Tower games. There were even cannibalistic murderers, and it wasn't incomprehensible that this kind liked to wear strange clothes. But he wore such clothes for the Black Tower Game ......

Tang Mo eyed the man's bowler hat and short staff cautiously.

Two possibilities. The first one, this man was an oddball who liked to play COSPLAY, that's why his mouth was saying some nonsense words and his behavior was so strange. The second, this was actually his disguise. Under what circumstances would a human need to disguise himself like this and dress so oddly? The clothes on his body and the bowler hat on his head were all very unsuitable for combat, and it was on the contrary that he wore such an outfit to participate in the tower attack game. Unless ......

Here's his props.

Tang Mo looks at Grea's back with a calm expression.

The five men searched the steel forest for an hour without finding any exit.

As time passed by, Zhao Xiaofei said, "We can't go on like this. These big steel trees look exactly the same, and the light is especially dim, so it's not easy to mark them. None of us know how big this forest is, and the Black Tower won't give us any hints. Let's just split up and look for them, otherwise it's too much of a waste of time."

Tang Mo : "I only have two flashlights in total."

Zhao Xiaofei: "How about splitting into two teams?"

Li Miaomiao got a hint from Tang Mo's eyes, "That's fine. I'll tell you what, I'll be on a team with Tang ...... Don, and you. The three of us will be a team. Victor, Grea, well, you're all foreigners, so you two can be on the same team."

The foreigner, Fu Wenduo, looked at Tang Mo. Tang Mo had one hand in his pocket: it's better for you to keep an eye on him.

Fu Wenduo raised an eyebrow.

The group quickly split into two teams, and split up to look for the exit of the forest, agreeing to meet up at the same place in an hour's time. Before leaving, Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo: Be careful of that man.

Fu Wenduo: Good.

Tang Mo, with a flashlight, led the two women on a search through the steel forest.

The rumbling sound they heard when they first entered the forest was the sound made by the wind blowing through the trees. Ordinary trees made the sound of rustling leaves when the wind blew over them. In Schrödinger's steel forest, every tree is made of black steel, and when a hurricane blows up from above, the steel leaves collide, making a regular metallic clanging sound.

The three Tang Mo's walked for a long time in the forest. Probably because they are all women, Zhao Xiaofei keeps her distance from Tang Mo and stands close to Li Miaomiao, whom she wants to talk to, so that the two of them can reach an alliance. However, Li Miaomiao was very cold and did not want to get closer to Zhao Xiaofei. Zhao Xiaofei tried twice, but had to give up.

Tang Mo mentally counts the time and stops in his tracks as he walks between two huge steel trees. Tang Mo : "Time is almost up, we can turn back."

The two women nodded.

Just as the three were about to turn back, suddenly, a spark burst into the sky from a distance. Tang Mo immediately froze, and the three looked at the flare in amazement. In the next second, they took off, and it took them twenty minutes to find Fu Wenduo and Grea.

Tang Mo asked directly, "Have you found the exit?" As he looked around, the crowd was clearly still in the forest and didn't see the so-called exit.

Fu Wenduo first shook his head, then nodded, and he raised his hand to point to the west.

Tang Mo followed the direction of his finger and looked over, at first he didn't understand what the other party meant, slowly his face changed and he narrowed his eyes and stared into the distance. After a long time, even Li Miaomiao and Zhao Xiaofei also saw that thing. Zhao Xiaofei was shocked, "What is that?!"

Whatever it was, now that the five-man Black Tower game was at a standstill, they had to go forward and see what was going on.

The crowd cautiously approached the strange object, and when they got closer, they were even more surprised.

Zhao Xiaofei's eyes widened, "What the hell is this ......"

It's a huge round tray.

Just now from a distance, the crowd only saw a small black circular object suspended in the air, like a UFO. but after getting closer, they found that this thing is not floating in the air, it has a dozens of meters long, wrist-thick steel rod underneath it to support it, connecting it with the earth.

In short, it looks like a black plate held in midair by chopsticks. The tray was so huge that Tang Mo felt that the thin steel rod could not hold it up and should be crushed by it. But it did, and the steel rod and the tray didn't shake a bit in the hurricane winds that blew through the forest.

At first the crowd stood cautiously on the outside of the pallet, surveying the steel rods and the pallet.

They looked at it for half a day, but there were no surprises. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo exchanged glances, and Fu Wenduo stepped forward, entering the shadows shrouded by the pallet and observing the steel rod. When he reached ten meters beside the steel rod, suddenly, a clear child's voice rang out in the steel forest-

"Dingdong! Triggered side quest one: enter Schrödinger's steel fortress."
