The Earth is Online

Chapter 181

By the time the dodgeball game had ended, the sky suddenly brightened and the sun had completely emerged from the horizon.

Fu Wenduo found a secluded room in a dark office building. He placed Tang Mo on the bed, determined that the build was safe and went out to find Chen Shanshan and Fu Wensheng. Five minutes later, the trio returned to the building and Fu Wensheng immediately used his ability to fill a bottle of mineral water.

These days, Fu Wensheng's ability had evolved and he could produce more advanced healing mineral water. However, the mineral water he produced couldn't be stored anymore and the amount produced every day was limited.

Fu Wenduo sat by the bed and raised Tang Mo with one hand. He let Tang Mo lean on his chest while a hand poured mineral water into Tang Mo's mouth.

A long time pa.s.sed and Tang Mo still didn't wake up. His frown just increased.

Chen Shanshan thought about it. "Major Fu, you said earlier that an apple hit Brother Tang?"

Fu Wenduo took out the apple.

Chen Shanshan pulled an identical apple from her pocket.

"This apple is the same as Ning Zheng's." She wiped the apple three times and it showed a line of golden characters. Chen Shanshan stated, "This is Eve's Reward. Brother Tang killed Xu Yusheng and got her Eve's Reward. However, Ning Zheng's apple isn't in an open state while Brother Tang's apple has opened."

Fu Wensheng asked, "Is Brother Tang unconscious because of Eve's Reward?"

There was this type of reward?

The person who got the reward was unconscious. What if he didn't get it and managed to run away?

Fu Wensheng felt this answer was too unbelievable but it was the only explanation.

Chen Shanshan said, "If this is really due to Eve's Reward then there shouldn't be a problem. Brother Tang will wake up sooner or later. The black tower gives rewards, not punishments."

Fu Wenduo took a closer look at Tang Mo's body. As a special soldier, he had excellent field medical skills. He removed his ear from Tang Mo's chest and accepted Chen Shanshan's speculation. Tang Mo being unconscious might be a good thing if he was receiving Eve's Reward. The group didn't think too much and patiently waited for him to wake up.

Chen Shanshan opened her mouth. "At the time, I was hiding far away with Xiao Fu. I didn't see clearly what happened on the elevated road. Major Fu, can you tell us the details?"

Fu Wenduo nodded and told then what had happened. His voice was low and the speed of his speech wasn't urgent. He used the simplest words to explain and his sentences were short. He was clearly accustomed to giving explanations in the simplest manner. As he spoke, he opened Tang Mo's coat and used the mineral water on his wounds.

Tang Mo hadn't suffered much injuries. He had two on his chest and three on his arms. Fu Wenduo's injuries were more serious. Xiao Fu took the mineral water to help clean his brother's wounds. The child's hand touched a knife wound on Fu Wenduo's back where the bones were visible and Fu Wenduo stiffened.

Xiao Fu asked, "Ah, did it hurt?"

"No."

The child cleaned the wound with greater care.

Fu Wenduo had actually remembered a long time ago when he and Tang Mo were still in Shanghai. Tang Mo once helped him clean an injury in the infirmary of the Attack organization. At the time, the two of them had just met and they weren't familiar with each other. Fu Wenduo stared at Tang Mo's pale face as he thought this and he slowly frowned.

…Tang Mo seemed very uncomfortable.

Fu Wenduo guessed correctly.

Tang Mo never had such a terrible nightmare before. He said nightmare but it was more like he was a ghost. He could clearly hear Fu Wenduo and Chen Shanshan's conversation and could even feel the temperature of Fu Wenduo's fingers as his wounds were cleaned. However, Tang Mo couldn't open his eyes, speak or move.

Countless information and images rushed into his brain. Despite Tang Mo's current physical fitness, he felt like his brain would explode from the huge amount of information. Yet he couldn't say what he was seeing or what the information pouring into his brain was about.

There was a wonderful feeling.

Outside the building, the sky was gloomy as the first thunderstorm of the year started in Beijing.

Thunder roared and a heavy rain poured down.

There was the sound of water droplets splas.h.i.+ng onto the ground, the subtle sensation as nitrogen and oxygen reacted in the air. Everything made up a subtle world and it was like there was a bowstring that could be moved in the air. Tang Mo couldn't touch it but he clearly felt it was there. The bowstring spanned the length of all coordinates.

One dimensional, two dimensional, three dimensional, four dimensional…

What was four dimensional?

No, maybe it wasn't four dimensional. There was something else.

The strong and vigorous vitality of the four people shone in the building. In the building, the person with the most dazzling vitality was sitting next to Tang Mo. In Fu Wenduo's body, thousands of cells were s.h.i.+ning like the sun, incomparably brilliant. Tang Mo could also hear the sound of decay in every cell of his body, cracking and polymerizing. Life was warm and strong, with every cell thriving and evolving towards an unknown direction.

What else…

What else!

Tang Mo was like a thirsty sponge, frantically wanting to know the truth hidden in this wonderful feeling.

Among bolt of lightning struck in the sky, brightening the room. After the dodgeball game, Fu Wenduo felt a bit of fatigue. He sat on the ground beside the bed and closed his eyes. Then he seemingly became aware of Tang Mo's movements and looked at the young man lying in the bed. Tang Mo didn't move.

Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows. He quietly reached out a hand and hooked a finger around Tang Mo's fingers. Then he moved his finger again and played a bit with the back of Tang Mo's hand. The unconscious youth didn't respond. Fu Wenduo stared up at the ceilings, their fingers locked together.

The two children went out to gather information. Fu Wenduo leaned against the bed, fingers still intertwined as he closed his eyes.

On the land of China, four people fell into a coma and haven't woken up. The first person, Jack had been unconscious for six days. The last person, Tang Mo had only been unconscious for a few minutes.

China, east of the Gurbantunggut Desert.

Yellow sand covered the sky and there was a wind storm.

In the vast expanse of the desert, a small black dot appeared at the junction of the sky and desert. The small dot became bigger as it got closer. Suddenly, his right foot sank into the ground. He actually encountered a quicksand. The bear-like man bowed his head silently and looked at his right foot stuck in the quicksand. Soon, his left foot was stuck as well and he quickly sank.

Then in a flash, the strong man suddenly jumped into the air and magically escaped from this terrible quicksand. He didn't react in any way and kept moving forward.

Once he completely left the desert, he lifted dark, dull eyes and saw a blue sign along the road that read, 'Welcome to s.h.i.+zenze City.'

Andrei stared at it for a moment before pulling a brick-like dictionary from the heavy bag he was carrying. He looked up some words inside and whispered in bizarre Chinese p.r.o.nunciation, "…s.h.i.+hezi?" He put the dictionary away and strode into the city. The moment he entered, more than 10 pairs of eyes stared in his direction.

The big Russian man seemed to have the same thickness as his appearance. He walked quietly like he didn't know his strange face would attract everyone's attention. He moved along the concrete road towards a commissary on one side.

The moment he entered, two short men jumped out from the small building to the side. The two men glanced at each other and silently followed with their weapons.

There were two dull crashes. 10 seconds later, Andrei emerged from the commissary and licked his cracked lips. He thought about it and walked back into the commissary.

In the dim building, two men were rolling around painfully on the ground. They saw the demon had come back and retreated, begging for mercy.

Andrei was silent for a moment before using his strange p.r.o.nunciation to say, "Mu Hui Xue."

The two men were stunned as they realized this bear-like man hadn't come back to kill them. The two of them glanced at each other and decided to wait and see.

Andrei said it again, "Mu Hui Xue, China, home. Lo… looking for her."

The trio faced each other. Andrei said it a few more times and a flat-headed man suddenly understood. "Wait, do you mean Mu Huixue?"

Andrei nodded. "Mu Hui Xue."

The flat-headed man asked, "You want to find Mu Huixue?"

"Find, Mu Hui Xue."

"Mu Huixue isn't here. Big… Big brother, Mu Huixue is in China District 3. I heard people say that District 3 is likely to be Guangzhou, Shenzhen or perhaps the Yangtze River Delta? In any case, she definitely isn't in our Xinjiang. You have found the wrong place…"

Andrei didn't speak Chinese and couldn't understand Chinese. The man said a lot but Andrei only understood 'Mu Huixue.' He didn't speak. After a moment, the two men thought he was just looking for someone and didn't want to kill them. Then Andrei punched the wall behind them. The whole place trembled and collapsed.

The two men stared in horror before an even more shocking scene appeared. Andrei raised one hand and held up the collapsed beam.

He held up thick concrete with one hand!

The two men were so scared they couldn't say a word.

The man held the weight of the building like it was an umbrella and opened his mouth again. "Mu Hui Xue, find her."

The two men, "…"

Andrei raised his head, "Home, find her."

"…"

Did he only know how to say these words in Chinese?

Seven days later, Beijing, Chaoyang District.

Tang Mo slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling above his head. His eyes had no focus until a few seconds later. The moment he woke up, Fu Wenduo also opened his eyes and turned to look. For a moment, Fu Wenduo felt that the young man in front of him had a mysterious atmosphere. Then Tang Mo returned to normal, looking slightly tired.

The two of them watched each other and understood the meaning of both sides without words.

Fu Wenduo handed over a packet of biscuits. Tang Mo ate two to recover his strength and drank water.

Fu Wenduo got straight to the point. "What is Eve's Reward?"

Tang Mo put down the water and looked up at him.

For Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo had been conscious for seven days. For Tang Mo, he could hear the movements around him and also knew that Fu Wenduo had held his hand. However, once Tang Mo opened his eyes, the man looked very stoic, as if he hadn't been sneaking touches in the past few days.

Tang Mo leaned against the wall and sat cross-legged on the bed. He raised his head and watched Fu Wenduo. After a long moment, he suddenly asked, "You secretly liked me first, right?"

Fu Wenduo was startled.

Tang Mo looked up. "I figured it out. I probably knew the answer that night, Victor. You lost." His voice stopped before continuing. "Oh, this matter isn't important. Let's put it aside for now. You asked me about Eve's Reward… in fact I don't know. I don't know what it was but I seemed to have a long dream while I was in the coma. However, I forgot all about it the moment I woke up."

Fu Wenduo, "…"

Tang Mo wondered, "…You look a bit strange? What happened?"

Fu Wenduo, "…"

You tell me what happened?!!!

The author has something to say:

Andrei: Only two sentences in Chinese, I am very proud!

Tang Tang: ??? Is this important?

Old Fu: …#Today is also tiring# #Old Fu still doesn't know that his sneaky touches were discovered#
