How can you ...... you have so many powers?
The night is dark. A thick cloud came from the western sky, blocking the moon. The city of Nanjing was silent. Withered leaves piled up on the side of the road, and abandoned vehicles were lying in the middle of the road. A black shadow quickly passed between two buildings, he had a big white rabbit head, and his eyes were the color of scarlet blood. He ran quickly, a thin piece of red human flesh between his razor-sharp teeth.
The rabbit-headed man stomped on the ground, leapt over two flat buildings and landed in an alley.
Bang!
A bullet came from behind him, and the rabbit-headed man rushed to the side, only to get a small hole in his long ear from the bullet. He roared in anger at the human chasing him, and uprooted a large tree on the side of the road and threw it at him. Fu Wenduo sidestepped and avoided it as he flung his right hand, the sharp, black, sharp weapon stabbing at the rabbit-headed man's head.
The rabbit-head moved quickly to dodge the blow, Fu Wenduo's right hand stabbed into the wall, creating a long crack, and his hand was stuck in the wall. Rabbit Head Man used the opportunity to turn around and escape, however, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a tall and thin silhouette standing at the exit of the alley.
Tang Mo, with his hands on his hips, looked calmly at the rabbit-headed man and whispered, "Give me back my grandfather!"
In an instant, the hot flames were overwhelming. The Rabbit Head Man's eyes widened in horror, and he screamed angrily, frantically trying to run back. But Fu Wenduo was at his back. The corner of his mouth slightly hooked up, and at some point, a stone shield appeared in his hand. This was what Fu Wenduo had just taken down from the wall.
The Rabbit Head Man did not expect Fu Wenduo's hand to be stuck and unable to move, but he actually took down a big stone slab from the wall. The huge stone slab blocked Fu Wenduo's body, preventing the rabbit head from escaping, and also preventing the flames from burning towards him. By the time the Rabbit Head reacted and tried to jump up to escape, the flames were already burning.
"Kirik!"
Screams of agonized resentment echoed through the alley.
When this fire had finished burning, Fu Wenduo threw the stone slab aside. He looked down at the rabbit-headed man's body, which had been burned to black charcoal, and leaned down to examine it. Soon, the corpse turned into a wooden medallion. Tang Mo picks up the medallion. Upon seeing the letters on it, he frowned, "It's still S."
Fu Wenduo stood up.
On this chaotic night, the sounds of fighting and explosions could be heard everywhere in Nanjing. The gunfire continued unceasingly, and the sound of buildings breaking apart never stopped.
Tang Mo puts this badge into his pocket, "Now we have fifteen badges. According to the time, it is now ten forty. The fourth batch of rabbit-heads have already been killed, and the only ones left are so few in number that the likelihood of us running into them is low." After a pause, Tang Mo's tone sank, "...... The situation is not very good."
The two walked out of the alley together.
"Seven S's, five R's, one U, one P, and one E." Fu Wenduo's right hand returned to its original shape, and he said calmly, "If the progress remains the same for the rest of the day, except for the I's which we haven't collected yet, we'll be able to collect all of the other letters by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. "
Tang Mo : "But there are fewer and fewer rabbitheads. And there are just too many S's and R's."
With four hours and fifteen badges, it looks like Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo are not far from passing the game. When Tang Mo gets his second E badge, he guesses that killing the Rabbit Head Man will give him badges with different letters that spell "surprise". As he suspected, the letters on the next badges he got were indeed related to "surprise". But too many of the fifteen badges are duplicates.
Surprise, there are eight letters in total. Two of them, S and R, are repeated letters. All other letters have only one.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo want to spell out two complete SURPRISES, they need to get four S and R letters and two of each of the other letters. The two were strong, and this sweeping game was originally opened by the Black Tower in order to sift out the end of the line, and had nothing to do with them; they were implicated by accident. With their strength, they could basically get the badges as soon as they ran into the rabbit-heads. However the badges they got were duplicated.
"We didn't intentionally pile on to find rabbitheads, and in four hours, we've traveled through Nanjing's main city, Jiangning District, and Qixia District." The reason why they have traveled so many places is because there are so few rabbitheads and so many players that it is very difficult for them to find one that has not been killed. Tang Mo said, "We can basically rule out the possibility that 'rabbitheads appearing in the same area represent the same letter badge'."
Fu Wenduo : "The Rabbit Head Man appears in randomized locations, and the time of appearance is every whole hour." At this point, the two of them walked to the junction of Qixia and Pukou districts. Fu Wenduo looked up at a traffic sign on the road, he paused and said, "We're in Pukou District."
Tang Mo nodded, "Well, go."
The two soon entered the Puchong district.
There are a total of eleven districts in Nanjing. Before Tang Mo and Xiao Jitong and others separated, Xiao Jitong said, "You may not know much about Nanjing, but there are a total of eleven districts in Nanjing. The Black Tower said that Nanjing has a total of eleven garbage disposal stations, and Dongying in the 49th district of Huaxia has six. I don't know how many districts and counties there are in Dongying, but Nanjing corresponds to exactly eleven districts. And now, the first garbage disposal station we found, it's in the center of Qinhuai District. Most likely, the locations of the other ten garbage disposal stations are also in the center of the other ten districts. In the next hour, the Nanking group will go to these places to see the specifics. In the last hour, we'll meet back here. Tang Mo, Mr. Fu, if you want to find us, you can come back here."
The rabbit-heads appear in completely random locations, but there seems to be a pattern to the locations of the garbage disposal stations.
Half an hour later, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo arrived in the central business district of Pukou. From a distance, he saw a small, oddly colored house sitting in the middle of an intersection. Tang Mo walked closer and looked at the five big letters on top of the house.
Tang Mo: "This is the seventh garbage disposal station. Just like Xiao Jitong said, the garbage disposal stations are all located in the busiest areas of each district." Tang Mo's brain thinks fast.
Why build in a place like this?
The Rabbitheads appear in completely random locations with no pattern. The garbage disposal stations, however, were all established in the center of the busy sections of each region. It was conceivable that just like Nanjing, the garbage disposal stations in the other ten cities were also in their respective busiest locations. The Black Tower set up the same number of garbage disposal stations according to the number of districts and counties in each city, and also placed them in places like this ......
Fu Wenduo : "The reason for putting the dump station in this place must be because these places have some kind of similarity."
Tang Mo muses, "They are the busiest parts of each city."
"The busiest sections, then before the planet comes online, these places must have the greatest amount of foot traffic." Fu Wenduo narrowed his eyes as he contemplated for a long time, "The locations with the greatest amount of foot traffic, and the number of garbage disposal stations will be determined according to the number of districts and counties. The sections with the most people, the busiest and most well-known."
Upon hearing this, Tang Mo exclaimed, "The most recognizable lot!"
Fu Wenduo looked over at him, and the next moment he frowned, realizing what Tang Mo meant.
Tang Mo: "Players have to put Surprise in the dumpster to pass the game. By placing the garbage disposal station in these busy areas, we are making sure that every player can find the location of the garbage disposal station as much as possible. Players may not know the center of districts and counties they are unfamiliar with, but where they have been for a long time, they know where the busiest areas are and are most likely to walk to them."
Fu Wenduo : "This maximizes the chance that all players know where each waste disposal station is located."
Tang Mo : "Perhaps in the first hour of the game, many players have already found the nearest garbage disposal station." Tang Mo's voice stops.
An icy cold wind blew from a distance, blowing Tang Mo's hair back. He looked up at this commercial area around him.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo are standing at a wide intersection. The strangely colored garbage disposal station stood in the middle of the intersection, surrounded by a once-busy shopping street. But now, the street is silent. There was not a single sound, only the rustle of the wind blowing across the ground and rolling up the leaves.
The place is empty, as if Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo are really the only ones standing here, scanning the surroundings.
Tang Mo purses his lips as he sweeps his eyes over the surrounding buildings and stores. After a few moments, he turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo, and in the silence the two of them reached a unanimous agreement and lifted their steps to leave the garbage disposal station. When they left, there was still not a single movement around them, as if there was really no one.
Meanwhile, Nanjing Gulou District.
In the middle of the forest of small stores and stores, a middle-aged man with a lewd look squeezed a wooden badge tightly as he struggled to escape forward. He ran forward as hard as he could, and as he ran a distance of a hundred meters, two young men turned from the intersection and shouted angrily, "Give us back our badge! Don't run, give us back our badges!"
Where would the middle-aged man stop. He fled forward with big strides, using his familiarity with this area, he ran into an alleyway and shook off the two young men in a few moments. But the young men's physical quality was obviously a cut above him, even if he was shaken off for a moment, but how long it would take to find him and chase after him again.
The three kept chasing each other through the old town.
As time passed, the middle-aged man's stamina gradually ran out. The distance between the three men slowly shortened. Suddenly, an arm yanked hard on the middle-aged man's clothes, yanking him over hard and dropping him to the ground. The middle-aged man grunted in pain, and before he could regain his senses, a fist rushed down on his face.
"Let you run, I'll let you run!"
A young man's eyes reddened with anger and urgency as he gasped for air, his fists nonchalantly greeting the middle-aged man's body. His companion snatched the badge back from the middle-aged man's hand and spread it out to see an S engraved on it.
These two young men were formal players, both of them had cockamamie powers, they weren't strong, but they were still a little stronger than ordinary reservists. Earlier, they managed to come across a single rabbit-headed man, there were no other players around to pursue them, they rushed up to kill the rabbit-headed man. After a lot of effort, the two of them managed to kill the rabbit-headed man with great difficulty. Just after taking away the badge, it was stolen by this middle-aged man.
Where could the two men stop. After beating the middle-aged man to a pulp, one of them spat before getting up to leave. But the moment they stood up, a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man whose face was covered in blood. He suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and viciously stabbed at the young man closest to him, "I'll kill you!!!"
The young man's eyes widened in fear, he subconsciously tried to dodge, but it was too late. Just as he was waiting for death in horror, his companion suddenly reached out and grabbed the dagger, while the other hand took out a small knife and viciously stabbed it into the middle-aged man's chest.
The middle-aged man stared at them with wide eyes, and after a while, he broke off completely.
Watching this scene, the two young men shivered.
"Brother, your, your hand ......"
The young man who killed the middle-aged man's voice trembled, "No, it's okay. I didn't mean to kill him, it was him who just wanted to kill you ......"
It was their first kill.
The matter of killing might be very common in other districts, but in the Nanjing District, even stowaways rarely killed, let alone regular players and reservists. These two brothers looked at each other and gradually calmed down. Just as they were about to leave, they only heard the murderous brother say in surprise, "What's that?"
His brother also gave a strange "eek" and bent down to pick up a wooden badge. Looking at the letters on it, he exclaimed, "This is a badge?!"
"No, where did this badge come from, did you see it earlier?"
"I didn't see it. It can't be, the badge wasn't there at all just now. It appeared out of nowhere!"
Brother stayed for a moment, "How can a badge suddenly appear, does it mean ......" His body stiffened and he looked down at this middle aged man who was already dead, he said, "Everyone in the above ten districts ...... are all trash. The Endbringer's Garbage Sweep Game. This is the Endbringer's Garbage Sweeping Game! Jun, you can get badges for killing people! You can get badges!"
The same thing happened in the other nine districts of China. Even in Nanjing's Qinhuai District, behind a skyscraper, a short and lean old man drew back the knife that had stabbed into someone else's heart as he bent down to pick up a badge that had fallen beside the man's body. After seeing the letters on the badge he coldly said, "R again." saying that he wiped the blood on the knife clean, the old man put away the knife and quietly left the place.
By the time Tang Mo returned to the main city of Nanjing, he had already seen a number of corpses lying on the ground along the way. He even saw a middle-aged man kill a woman with his own hands. The middle-aged man had just killed someone and was at his most nervous. When he saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, he took two steps backward. When he calmed down, he ran back and took a wooden badge from the woman's side before continuing his escape.
The Nanjing group only had a total of over forty members, and the Raiders had a total of seven people. Even if all of them were in Nanjing nowadays and had not entered the copy game, it would be impossible for more than five people to manage such a large Nanjing city.
When the Black Tower first announced the rules of the game, Tang Mo and Xiao Jitong hypothesized that you could get a badge for killing.
The Black Tower calls the players in Zone 10 trash, and the game itself is a trash sweeping game. It's very likely, then, that there is some sort of reward for killing players (and removing trash) as well. The most likely reward would be badges. Players will definitely find out this fact, it's just a matter of time.
When the first person found out that you could earn badges for killing people, the whole city of Nanking went haywire.
Tang Mo was standing on the side of the road when he saw a young body. It was a little girl in the shape of an elementary school student, and she looked at the sky with her eyes wide open, but unfortunately she couldn't see the sky at all, she could only see the dense sycamore trees. The leaves of the trees blocked the sky from her, and even if she could see it, it was only a black color.
It's still light out and it's trash sweep time in the Black Tower.
Most of the NJ players were low in strength, and the rabbitheads were too fast to catch and difficult to kill. But humans, who are also players, are too much better to kill than rabbitheads. Now it was okay, there were still five hours left, five batches of rabbitheads. If there were only the last two hours left, the last hour, what would happen then?
Tang Mo : "Players have long been aware of where the garbage disposal stations are, but none of them have shown up. There must be some players hiding in the shadows around each dump station. If you want to pass the level, you must enter the garbage disposal station. There ...... is the best place to kill people and take away their badges."
"The number of rabbit-heads is obviously not enough for 20,000 NJ players to pass the game, and there are now players from other regions entering NJ to participate in the game." The voice stopped, and Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo. Tang Mo's face had little expression, and he squatted down, stretching out his hands to close the little girl's eyes. Only after Tang Mo stood up did Fu Wenduo continue, "Killing players and collecting badges is definitely not the way to pass the level. The Black Tower wouldn't give a game like this."
Tang Mo nods, "Yes. Every Black Tower game will have a way to pass the level, but killing is certainly not the only way to pass the level anyway. It must give something that gives every NJ player a chance to pass."
Tang Mo carefully recalled the nine rules of the game given by the Black Tower, and as he thought about it, he said, "Send your surprise to the garbage disposal station. Your sur...... "The voice ended abruptly, and Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked up at the same time. A strong rabbit-headed man flew over their heads and landed steadily on the opposite side of the road.
The rabbit-headed man flew out from a small building nearby, and he didn't realize anyone was around when he flew out. When he saw Tang Mo and the two of them, his long rabbit ears tilted to the side. The two men and the rabbit stared at each other across the road. In the next moment, the rabbit head man turned his head and ran away, Tang Mo's eyes turned cold and instantly rushed up.
The rabbit-head was also unlucky in that he was fast, but he ran into Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, who split up and easily blocked him.
The rabbit-headed man was surrounded by Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo in the center of the road, his red eyes darting back and forth between them. Soon he turned his head towards Tang Mo and let out a whistling sound, "Kirik!" Seemingly sensing that Tang Mo might be a bit weaker and a breakthrough, the rabbit-head's sturdy legs stomped hard on the ground, and like a guided bullet, he swished towards Tang Mo.
Tang Mo took out the small Yang San and snapped it open.
Bang!
The rabbit-headed man slammed into the small Yang San and stumbled backwards. Tang Mo was also shocked by this powerful force and took three steps back. Fu Wenduo immediately rushed up, and Tang Mo also put away Little Yang San and stabbed at the rabbit-headed man who was knocked to the ground. The rabbit-headed man was so shocked that he was screaming and jumping around. Tang Mo followed him and stabbed him with Little Yang San.
Little Yang San stabbed into the ground and walls, making big holes one after another.
Fu Wenduo was already close, and the Rabbit Head Man was forced into a dead corner by Tang Mo. Tang Mo narrowed his eyes and raised his Little Yang San to stab him again. This time, the Rabbit Head Man was unable to dodge, and the small pink Yang San pierced straight into his head. The rabbit head man shuddered, his body turned into countless dots of light, and a wooden badge fell to the ground.
Tang Mo bends down to pick up the badge, and Fu Wenduo walks over to him.
At that moment, a hoarse laugh rang out from behind them amidst the sound of the sluggish wind.
Both men turned to look in unison.
Under a huge sycamore tree, an extremely beautiful young woman stood behind the tree, the corners of her mouth lifted up as she surveyed them wistfully. This woman was extremely beautiful, no less than any popular actress when placed on Earth Online. However, the one who let out the laughter was not her, but a middle-aged man standing beside her.
The man's grim gaze flicked over Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's bodies, finally landing on the wooden medallion in Tang Mo's palm.
The woman hid her lips and let out a laugh, her voice was soft and extreme, her tone ambiguous: "That little handsome man, what are the letters ...... on your badge?"
Tang Mo pocketed his badge and looked at the two men coldly.
The woman seemed a little disgruntled at not getting a response from Tang Mo, and she disliked the way the man ignored her. She looked at Tang Mo and let out a cold snort through her nose. Then she looked at Fu Wenduo again, "That handsome guy, what is the letter of the badge your friend just got? Tell us, we're not going to rob it, we're just curious."
Fu Wenduo looked at her calmly.
Seeing Fu Wenduo staring at himself, the smile on the woman's lips grew even wider. She was about to say something else, but who would have guessed that Fu Wenduo would just look at her and turn away, dropping a faint remark, "Not like a Nanking player."
Tang Mo nodded, "According to the time projection, players from Wuxi, Changzhou, and Anhui might have arrived by now. The accent sounds a bit like Suzhou and Wuxi."
Fu Wenduo gave a low "hmm".
Woman ignored by both: "......"
Watching Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's distant backs, the woman's face seemed to have overturned a palette of brilliant colors. She clenched her fingers and looked to her companions. The two of them nodded, and in the next second, a sharp sound of breaking wind rang out from Tang Mo's back, and he sidestepped it. A small silver knife sliced past the side of his cheek.
Fu Wenduo moved extremely quickly to grab the silver chain attached to the back of the knife. The middle-aged man was first startled, then he let out an angry cry, and the silver chain suddenly turned red. Fu Wenduo's brow furrowed as he let go of the silver chain, and the man took the opportunity to put the knife and chain back.
The same moment the knife was withdrawn, a slender hand stabbed Tang Mo's cheek from the other side.
Tang Mo reacted quickly as he took a step backwards to dodge the blow. The young woman hooked up the corner of her lips and smiled, her eyes playing over Tang Mo's face as she softly said, ''Young handsome, you guys are right, we are players from Wuxi. It's rare that we bump into each other, how about a little sparring? Oops, don't look at me like that, we are good players, we never kill anyone. We are good players, we never kill anyone. We are just players from different cities to spar, friendship first, sparring second. What do you say?"
So saying, without waiting for Tang Mo to reply, the woman's soft and boneless hand was already forcing her way up. Tang Mo rolled on the ground to avoid the blow. The woman's hand grazed his face. Fu Wenduo saw this and wanted to come up to help, but the silver knife attacked again.
The middle-aged man laughed, "Your opponent is me!"
Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows, and without worrying about Tang Mo's situation there, he directly reversed his head and rushed towards the middle-aged man.
The four fought in the spacious streets.
The sound of thumping and banging continued to ring out.
The silver chains are tied to the knife, striking Fu Wenduo from all directions.The chains can entangle his movements, and the knife is like the most venomous snake waiting for an opportunity, always looking for the right moment to attack.
At first, the middle-aged man was still able to laugh at Fu Wenduo's moves, but gradually Fu Wenduo guessed his movements, and every time before he dodged, Fu Wenduo had already guessed his next position. The middle-aged man felt bad in his heart, he thought to himself, "Isn't Nanking a garbage area, how can there be such a powerful player?" He didn't have time to remind his companion that something was wrong, when a pitch-black weapon pierced through the big tree in front of him.
Rumble!
The tree fell in unison, and the man was so shocked that he retrieved his knife and silver chain.
On the other hand, Tang Mo's situation is not as good as Fu Wenduo. This woman was really fast. She was like a swimming fish, she was very slippery, her attacks did not do much damage, but Tang Mo had a hard time catching her. And she never attacked Tang Mo intentionally, as if, like she said, she didn't want to kill but just wanted to spar. That's why her hands kept brushing past Tang Mo's cheeks and wrists, as if she was stroking them on purpose.
Tang Mo did not think that this woman was really trying to eat his tofu, he narrowed his eyes and flipped his hand to open the small Yang San.
The woman's hand struck Xiao Yang San, and she cried out in pain, retreating back to the middle-aged man's side. Tang Mo had already thoroughly figured out her movements and was ready to directly grab her with his next strike, however, the woman actually didn't go up. She propped herself up on the ground with one hand, and the hand that had just kept touching Tang Mo pressed down on the ground, her palm emitting a burst of white light.
She giggled softly, "Ahhhh, enough time then. You're very touchy-feely, little handsome, oh let me see, what kind of powers do you have ......"
As the woman spoke, Tang Mo's eyes widened. He sensed a hint of something wrong and put away Little Yang San and was about to attack and stop the woman from speaking. Who would have thought that the woman laughed as she slapped the ground with great force, followed by the white mass of light in her palm suddenly rising up and gathering around her. She smiled at the scene and waited for the outcome.
Then she saw her white mass of light split into two pieces.
The smile at the corner of the woman's mouth froze for a moment, and the middle-aged man beside her also looked at the scene in horror, his mouth wide open, "What ...... is this?"
The white light heads kept splitting. It gradually split from two to three, then four, five ......
In the end, a total of twenty-one light clusters floated beside the young woman. Each of the light clusters was not large, and twenty of them were the same size, only the size of a fist. Only one white light head was the size of half a head, and it was rampaging through the middle of the light clusters.
Twenty-one clusters of light, a total of four colors, jumped and danced in front of the woman's eyes. The woman's body began to tremble. She looked at the scene with fear and suddenly raised her head, looking at Tang Mo with disbelief : "How can you ...... you have so many supernormal abilities?!"
At those words, the corner of Fu Wenduo's mouth hooked up as he looked calmly at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo's face darkened as he gripped the handle of little Yang San's umbrella, stomped his feet, and charged straight up.
