Forced Tower Attack~

Tang Mo quickly calms down, he looks up at the black tower and tries again.

However the result did not change. The giant black tower once again refused Tang Mo's request to attack the tower, and when Tang Mo tried to attack the tower for the third time, the black tower's undulating mechanical voice sounded in the two men's ears, "Dingdong! The Black Tower's second iron law: 6:00-18:00 is game time. Game time has expired, please come back tomorrow to attack the tower!"

Tang Mo narrowed his eyes, and exchanged glances with Fu Wenduo.

The two quickly left the black tower below, finding a safe place to lean their feet.

Tang Mo looked up and said, "There's no problem with the time, we applied for the tower attack within the game time, we didn't exceed the time limit."

Fu Wenduo thought for a moment and made a decision, "Go back to Heaven's Chosen."

Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at the 80th middle school.

When we met Chen Shanshan and Fu Wen Sheng, the two children were eating canned food. As the most powerful organization of stowaways in Beijing, Chosen's resources were naturally much better than those of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, who were unorganized freeloaders. Li Miaomiao wouldn't treat the two kids badly either, when he saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo returning, Fu Wen said in surprise, "Eh, not attacking the tower anymore?" He didn't think that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were so quick to raid the sixth floor of the Black Tower, because the Black Tower didn't give any hints at all.

Chen Shanshan, on the other hand, put down the can and walked up, looking serious: "What's going on, is it impossible to attack the tower?"

Tang Mo nodded heavily, "The Black Tower says, data error, can't attack tower."

Next, Tang Mo tells Chen Shanshan what happened to the two of them underneath the Black Pagoda.

The short-haired girl rubbed her chin and thought for a moment, her guess was the same as Tang Mo's, "It has nothing to do with the game time, you guys chose to attack the tower at the right time. Then there is something else wrong with the Black Tower itself." After a pause, Chen Shanshan asked, "Is it that all the games can't be played, or is it simply that only the Tower Attack game can't be played?"

This matter is not trivial.

The Black Tower has never banned a player from the game.

The second of the three iron laws is the only restriction the Black Tower places on players entering the game. The time may seem strange, being 6:00 to 18:00, but in fact, divides the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres. Twice a year, the sunrise and sunset times in both the northern and southern hemispheres are 6:00 and 18:00 hours. Other than that, sunrise and sunset times are always 6:00 and 18:00 in the equatorial regions.

That is to say, the Black Tower follows the local time of each region, such as the Chinese region follows Beijing time, stipulating that the game starts at sunrise and ends at sunset.

This is true all over the world.

Anyone can attack the tower as long as they haven't violated this rule.

Li Miaomiao also realized the seriousness of the matter, and she immediately contacted the Chosen members. A short, skinny man entered the classroom and whispered to Li Miaomiao. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had already heard the man's words, but the two children's ears weren't that good. Li Miaomiao said, "The copy game is still accessible. At five o'clock this afternoon, two of our Heaven's Chosen peripheral members went into an ordinary copy without being blocked."

Tang Mo : "Maybe it's a problem after five."

Li Miaomiao : "Then wait for tomorrow, tomorrow we have a few more members of the team entering the copy separately, we'll know the truth then."

The congregation agreed to the proposal.

At six o'clock the next morning, Tang Mo opened his eyes right on time. He didn't sleep, he just rested with his eyes closed. The moment he reached six o'clock, he turned his head to look through the classroom window at the huge black tower in the distance.

There was nothing different about that black tower.

But all over the world, a loud, clear child's voice carried across the globe--

"Dingdong! As of 6:00 pm on June 10, 2018, the Huaxia Region has confirmed clearing the fifth floor of the Black Tower."

The same voice had sounded once an hour ago, and that time it had said "East Asia Region confirms clearance of the fifth floor of the Black Tower". There were ten regions in the world, and the game time of each region was 6:00-18:00 local time, so the time of the mandatory attack on the Black Tower actually varied, and had to be settled according to the local time.

When the game time came, the Tang Mo five and two Chosen members came to the trigger point of a replica. The Chosen Organization also had its own intelligence network, knowing the trigger points of many duplicates in Beijing, and every day they arranged for their members to go in and play the game to improve their strength. The two members were seen walking up to a hot pot restaurant, they pushed open the door of the hot pot restaurant, and one of their hands reached into the large fish tank in front of the restaurant.

The next moment, the two disappeared into the store.

Li Miaomiao: "It's in!"

Chen Shanshan turned to Tang Mo, "Brother Tang, Major Fu, this is quite close to the Black Tower, why don't we try again?"

"Good."

This time, the five of them traveled to the bottom of the Black Tower. As they walk to the Tian|An|Men Square, Tang Mo senses that there are several eyes staring at him from the shadows.

After that game of dodgeball in the East Third Ring Road, he and Fu Wenduo were completely famous in Beijing. Not only were they famous, but most of the high level players in Beijing recognized their faces. Those who didn't recognize their faces could also recognize the other armband on Li Miaomiao's arm, which had a dark black "X" printed on it.

That's the mark of the Chosen.

The players hiding in the shadows didn't dare to come forward, Tang Mo whispered, "Choose to open the sixth floor of the Black Tower and team up with player Fu Wenduo."

The cold mechanical prompt sounded again, "Dingdong! Data anomaly, player application for tower attack failed."

The crowd was stunned, but after a few more tries, the results were exactly the same.

The five went back to Chosen first.

Tang Mo said, "It's the tower attack game that's been banned, it has nothing to do with normal games." He thought of something, "Something to do with the mandatory tower attack? Yesterday, Fu Wenduo and I weren't able to attack the tower again until after we cleared the fifth floor. Players in the Huaxia zone won't be forced to attack the tower again, so all Huaxia players aren't allowed to attack the tower during the period when other zones are forced to attack the tower?"

It's a possibility.

Chen Shanshan said, "There's something that hasn't been determined yet, Brother Tang Mo, have you ever thought ...... that maybe it's not permitted to raid the six floors of the Black Tower, and that it's permitted to raid the other floors?"

When the words landed, everyone all froze. Tang Mo's brain worked quickly, "Raid Six Mode, the three teams or players who are the first to raid the sixth floor of the Black Tower will be able to get clues to the seventh floor. Does it mean that it's only allowed to raid the sixth floor after all the regions in the world, each with players who have cleared the fifth floor? That would be considered fair, and no one would be able to raid the sixth layer in advance." But it was also considered unfair, why should the players who had cleared the fifth layer first have to wait for those who hadn't?

This guess is much more likely.

The crowd each pondered on the dissimilarity this time, Chen Shanshan said, "Tomorrow, me, Xiao Sheng, and Li ...... Li sister will go to raid the fourth floor of the Black Tower, and then we will know whether it is the Tower Attacking Game that is banned, or the sixth floor of the Black Tower."

Tang Mo nodded his head and was about to say something else when suddenly, a strange sound rang out over the globe. It sounded like the rustling of a broken blower, hoarse and unpleasant. After the rattling sound, the cold mechanical voice said without emotion, "Dingdong! No one in the South Asia Region has cleared the fifth floor of the Black Tower, opening the mandatory tower attack mode!"

At this moment, all players around the world were shocked in unison.

The players in the South Asian zone all froze, some of them were pale, and some of them were trembling with fear. An Indian female player wearing a red sari had originally been kneeling on the ground and praying, praying that before the last moment came, someone would clear the fifth floor and save them, the ordinary players. Hearing the sound of the Black Tower, she cried in agony, her eyes red as she cried out in pain, "Why, why did no one clear the fifth floor of the Black Tower! Why!"

However, the Black Tower simply did not give these players the opportunity to object, or they were not qualified to mention any opinions at all. A blinding white light flashed from the eyes of all the South Asia Zone players, and in the blink of an eye, the entire South Asia, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh ...... became one empty city after another. Humans all disappeared, leaving only empty streets and cities.

This is the first area that was forced to attack the tower.

A whole day had passed, and there were a total of four zones around the world where no one had cleared the fifth floor of the Black Tower, and all players were forced to attack the tower. They were the South Asian Zone, the Russian Zone, the West Asian Zone, and the American Zone.

Every forced attack on the tower meant the death of a large number of players.

Late at night, Tang Mo closed his eyes and sat at a desk, resting against the wall. In the classroom, Chen Shanshan and Fu Wen were preparing props and mineral water for the next day's tower attack. They didn't show much sympathy for the players from the four districts who were forced to attack the tower. This was the cruel Black Tower game, and if Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo hadn't cleared the five floors yesterday, it would have been all the Huaxia players who would have been forced to attack the tower today.

Fu Wenduo sat next to Tang Mo, who had gotten a game of Go from the library of No. 80 Middle School. Originally, he asked Tang Mo to play with him, but Tang Mo is not familiar with Go, so they ended up playing Go.

Fu Wenduo closed his eyes and his voice was low: "On November 13, 2017, I entered Myanmar from India and returned home that night. If I had stayed in India, I would be a South Asian player now."

Tang Mo understood what he meant.

Being in any region is a player in any region.

He remembered something: "That Andre who tried to kill Mu Huixue, he was the first player in the world to clear the fourth floor of the Black Tower, I think, and he was Russian. After he left Russia ...... it's a pity that no one cleared the fifth floor within the time limit."

Fu Wenduo opened his eyes, glanced at Tang Mo and withdrew them.

He whispered, "Uh-huh."

It's fate.

If Andre hadn't left Russia, he would have cleared the fifth floor of the Tower, and Russian players wouldn't have been forced to attack the Tower. Strength is the basis of survival, Tang Mo's mind is filled with all the Black Tower games he has played and all the Black Tower bosses he has seen, and he tries to memorize as much information as he can in order to increase the probability that he will clear the sixth floor of the Black Tower and be the first one to do so.

The next morning, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo accompanied the two children to the bottom of the Black Tower.

When Chen Shanshan applied to raid the fourth floor of the Black Tower, a white light enveloped the three of them. Before it disappeared, Chen Shanshan hurriedly turned his head and exchanged glances with Tang Mo.

"It has nothing to do with the Tower Attack game, except that you can't raid six floors!"

Both realized this at the same time.

The children left Earth and started to raid the fourth floor of the Black Tower, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't stay here for long. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't stay here for long. They rushed back to the 80th center, where they planned to wait for Chen Shanshan's return. Just as they were about to step through the gate of the 80th center, Fu Wenduo suddenly stopped and pulled out a black dart from his pocket, and with a flick of his wrist, shot to the right.

A stomp sounded and the black figure brushed and popped out from behind the street tree.

The doll-faced youth in the white jacket caught the dart in his fingers, and the corner of his mouth twitched, the smile on his face surprisingly failing to hold. Slowly, he very smoothly put this dart into his own pocket, then raised his head and gently grinned, "Hee hee, Major Fu, Tangtang, hello again ...... wow, why are you looking at me with this kind of eyes, it's not like I'm here to look for trouble. Don't you guys realize that we can't raid the sixth floor of the Black Tower?"
