Chapter 176 - Me, Xu Yunsheng.

At noon, the four of them arrived near Chaoyang District. On the way Tang Mo encountered four returnees, three of which had double digit numbers around their necks, and instead of making a move they were wary of leaving when they saw the Earth players. Only one player with over 500 minutes of rest was sneaking up on them in the shadows.

This man was so ruthless that he laid a trap around the corner. Tang Mo was the closest to Chen Shanshan, and when he sensed something was wrong, he grabbed Chen Shanshan and left, but the bomb had already exploded. Tang Mo's arm was left with a bloody gash and a hole in Chen Shanshan's head.

The man hid in the shadows, detonating the bombs buried underground one by one. It was Fu Wenduo who found the man hiding in the office building and snapped his neck with one hand.

Fu Wenduo : "There's no time for you to work it out."

Tang Mo shook his head, "It's okay."

Usually Fu Wenduo leaves this opportunity to kill the enemy to Tang Mo, except in special circumstances.

After this bomber, the four Tang Mo men were more careful. Soon, the four of them entered the Chaoyang District area. Chosen is based in the eightieth high school and has taken over the entire Chaoyang District, so few players will stay here. There is an occasional rustle or two in the wind, and Fu Wenduo's long eyebrows are furrowed as he watches out for possible attacks.

Neither the Earth players nor the returnees are to be taken lightly.

Tang Mo walked quietly along the shadows of the building and said, "Chosen is not a safe place and the closer we get to the 80th, the more dangerous we may be. The closer we get to the 80th, the more dangerous we may be. We have investigated the returnees, and the returnees will investigate us. Chosen is the largest organisation in Beijing, with two live targets in Ruan Wangshu and Yu Zheng. Eliminating them will open up Eve's rewards, and there must be returnees who have had their eyes on them for a long time."

Fu Wensheng : "If that's the case, Ruan Wangshu, why are they still in the 80th and can't they change their base?"

With the enemy's nest in sight, shouldn't we change our base camp?

Fu Wenduo: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Ordinary returnees don't dare to attack the Chosen, and powerful returnees ..." After a pause, Fu Wenduo's eyes lifted as he spoke quickly while throwing Fiddlesticks' darts forward: "The powerful returnees are also the ones we want to eliminate! !"

Whoosh!

The black darts pierced the air and shot towards the back of the building at great speed.

However, at a distance, the young man hiding in the shadows had time to react. The short-haired man sidestepped Fu Wenduo's dart, and he looked warily at Fu Wenduo. Tang Mo bellowed angrily and with a lift of his right hand, a volley of cold steel needles appeared in the air and swished at the man.

The man whispered, " Li Chaocheng's steel needle?"

Tang Mo was shocked at the words.

The young man in the denim jacket was agile and rolled across the ground, dodging the rows of steel needles. The steel needles buzzed into the earth and he looked up, the sunlight shining through the gaps between the buildings, reflecting the five digits suspended around his neck -

'10235'

Tang Mo blurted out, "Are you Ning Zheng?"

Ning Zheng, 62nd in the time chart.

Ning Zheng leapt tens of metres to the top of the mall with one hand on the ground and his right foot in the air. He stood at the top of the mall and looked down at the four Tang Mo's men below, his handsome face expressionless. After a few moments of silence, Ning Zheng narrowed his eyes and spoke two names: "Fu Wenduo ... or Tang Mo?"

He looked at Tang Mo: "Are you Fu Wenduo?" With that, he looked at Fu Wenduo, who was standing behind Tang Mo.

This indifferent man in black had just been the first to spot his trail, while shooting a small, ordinary-looking dart. The dart might have been an ordinary dart, the person who shot it was not simple. As long as the two sides were a little closer, he would only be able to avoid the vitals and would not be able to completely dodge that dart. This person's strength was by no means simple.

Ning Zheng suddenly thought: " Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo?"

It was a good guess.

Ning Zheng did not know who Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were, but he knew that they were not to be messed with.

By eliminating Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo, he could have opened up Eve's reward straight away. But these two turned out to be teammates, so it's not certain who will be eliminated when the two sides meet.

His mind was racing, only a few seconds had passed, and already Ning Zheng was thinking of the many ways in which the encounter could end. Without hesitation, he turned and walked away, disappearing in a matter of seconds into the lined buildings. Neither Tang Mo nor Fu Wenduo had any intention of pursuing him, and Chen Shanshan looked behind him at The black tower suspended high in the sky.

Fu Wensheng : "Just let him go?"

A total of four players from Beijing were notified globally by The black tower, but there were only two returnees on the time chart.

Xu Yunsheng and Ning Zheng.

Returnees will be rewarded for eliminating any of the four Tang Mo players. Earth players can only eliminate Xu Yunsheng or Ning Zheng if they want to win Eve's reward. This means that the returnees have four chances and the Earth players have only two.

It's not very likely that you'll run into someone in the huge city of Beijing, and it's hard to run into Ning Zheng, who seems to be alone. It didn't seem right not to make a move at this point.

However, Chen Shanshan shakes his head, "It's not game time."

Fu Xiaodi didn't react for a while.

Chen Shanshan explains: "With Eve, the game is played from 6pm to 6pm the next day. It's noon, not game time. When The black tower said the rules of the game, the game time was stated at the beginning. Although it is not 100% certain, eliminating Ning Zheng outside of game time does not necessarily mean that you will get his reward. And the odds aren't good to do it now, at least he should be able to escape."

Fu Wensheng immediately understood, and he thought, "This time is actually also a time for the returnees, the Earth players, to recuperate. Killing the enemy at this time would be pointless and would instead be a waste of places."

So Ning Zheng weighed the pros and cons and left without looking back, and Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't go after him.

During his brief encounter with Ning Zheng, Tang Mo realised that the returnees, regardless of their strength, had a very high level of escapism. He also remembered something: "That Liao Feng doesn't seem to be lying to us." Tang Mo pointed to a billboard in Chaoyang Joy City not far away, "He said he saw Ning Zheng near Chaoyang Joy City yesterday morning, and Ning Zheng is still here."

Fu Wenduo : "He won't be here next."

An hour later, the four arrived at the 80th Form.

The road outside the campus was silent, the street trees on either side rustling in the wind. Tang Mo glanced towards the quiet street as he walked in, and he had a vague feeling that someone was hiding in the street, but he couldn't find out where or how many people were there.

The strength of the returnees cannot be underestimated.

Upon arrival at the 80th Form, the four men found Ruan Wangshu.

Ruan Wangshu was not anxious as he saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo and nodded gently at them. Before Tang Mo could say anything, he said, "Have you found the men ambushed outside?"

Tang Mo asked, "You know?"

Li Miaomiao, a female doctor, slumped on the table and said, "Yu Zheng found out. They were so well hidden that we sent several people to check their movements, but we only found two small tails who were not well hidden, the others didn't even know where they were. We lost a few people that way."

Over the past few days, Ruan Wangshu's wounds had almost healed. He then asked Li Miaomiao, "Have you found out about each other?"

Tang Mo shakes his head, "They're well hidden."

Chen Shanshan's voice was calm: "You are trying to use the Chosen as bait."

The faint female voice drew everyone's attention at once, and Ruan Wangshu's body gave a slight pause. The pale teenager slowly turned his head to look at the young girl who had spoken, and after a moment, Ruan Wangshu said, "Yes. You heard the rules of the black tower update and the rules of Eve yesterday, the only way we can get the reward for Eve is to eliminate the returnees on the time chart. Beijing only has two returnees left, Xu Yunsheng and Ning Zheng. It's too hard to find them, so why not let them come to me?"

Tang Mo reminded him, " Ning Zheng shouldn't be coming."

Ruan Wangshu was stunned: "What?"

Tang Mo tells the story of his encounter with Ning Zheng at the Chaoyang Grand Hyatt.

Ruan Wangshu blushed a little harder: "He's here for us. The fact that Chosen's base is in the 80th is no secret among the Beijing players. Ning Zheng must have known where me and Lian Yu Zheng were, and he came to Chaoyang District to kill me and Lian Yu Zheng. Now that he has found you and Fu Wenduo, with the four of us around, he will not strike again. What a pity ..."

Chen Shanshan : "What's the pity?"

Ruan Wangshu sighed as he stood up and clapped his hands.

Fu Wenduo's eyes went cold and he shot a small knife backwards, only to see an athletic figure swiftly dodge the blow. The man was a young man with a flat head. He saw a bloodthirsty gleam in Fu Wenduo's eyes, but it was quickly hidden. He glanced at Fu Wenduo with scorn and then at Tang Mo. He dangled his foot on the chair and laughed, " Fu Wenduo I know, this is Tang Mo?"

Tang Mo looked at him calmly.

Soon, three or four more men came out from behind the flat-headed youth.

A dozen people slowly gathered in the not so spacious classroom.

The newcomers, both male and female, stare silently at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, and sometimes coldly at Ruan Wangshu. A powerful aura emanated from their bodies. Tang Mo understood who they were at first, and Ruan Wangshu's tone was cold: "There are not many Beijing players who are willing to work with Chosen, but we are the best in Beijing. Mr. Fu's school should know them, we've all fought before."

Tang Mo looked at the men steadily, and after a moment he turned his head and said, "It will be difficult to find Ning Zheng again, but Xu Yunsheng should be able to."

Ruan Wangshu's grim eyes fixed on Tang Mo : "How ..."

Boom!

The earth shook violently as the shock came so suddenly. Throughout the eightieth form, throughout Beijing City, the ground shook violently! The sky spun and an arm-thick crack opened up from the ceiling of the classroom and soon crumbled into the walls. Without thinking, Tang Mo grabbed Chen Shanshan, put the girl on his back and ran into the corridor. With a single hand, he flipped and leapt straight down the three storeys, landing firmly on the ground.

Fu Wenduo also carries Fu Wensheng and dives to first level.

Ruan Wangshu and the others reacted and left the building one by one.

When they had all gathered in the playground, Tang Mo looked up and around. The earth was still shaking violently, and the buildings around the eightieth form were trembling. But none of the buildings had fallen, and Tang Mo's ears were strained to hear the sound of them collapsing. The whole of Beijing was shaking strangely, just shaking, seemingly violently but without damage.

Tang Mo exclaimed, "Not an earthquake?!"

The crowd looked at him in dismay.

Li Miaomiao: "If it's not an earthquake, what is it. The whole of Beijing is shaking, and that's not an earthquake?"

Chen Shanshan watched the movement around her carefully, and soon her face turned very ugly: "It is indeed not an earthquake. The magnitude of an earthquake is underground, even if the source of the quake is shallow. Earthquakes come from the bottom up, and buildings can easily collapse. But feel the ground beneath our feet, and this tremor is more like a shaking at the same level as us."

So here's the question.

Fu Wenduo's eyes were cold: "What could shake the entire city of Beijing?"

The next second, a deep, thin female voice with a disdainful laugh suddenly resonated through the Beijing air, answering his question -

"Earth survivors?"

The trembling of the ground seemed to smooth out a little, and all looked to the west in astonishment. The voice was coming from the west, and as it rang out, the trembling of the earth resonated with her. It was as if the ground had become her vocal chords, and with every word she spoke, the earth shook with her.

At this moment, the whole of Beijing, both Earth survivors and returnees, looked at the West in shock.

At the border of Chaoyang District and Haidian District, the young man in the denim jacket stopped dead in his tracks and exclaimed, "It's not an earthquake, it's that guy's powers? Wait a minute, that guy's powers wouldn't hold up if the sound was to spread throughout Beijing. This sound ..." Ning Zheng's face sank, " Xu Yunsheng!"

The vast city of Beijing, the North Sea, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven ...

The grim female voice reached every corner, and as she spoke again, the earth trembled with her voice.

She sneered, "Me, number nine on the time list, Xu Yunsheng ."

"A letter of notification is hereby sent to Beijing survivors Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo, Ruan Wangshu and Lian Yu Zheng."

"25 May, 5am, Beijing East 3rd Ring Road Elevated."

"You want the Eve rewards and I want to be the only player in China to turn on the rewards."

"Oh, wait for the big one."

"... By the way, Ning Zheng , are you coming."

A low, hoarse laugh rang out, a voice that sounded nothing like a sixteen year old girl.

Beijing Xicheng District, in an abandoned courtyard. A middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes, kneeling on the ground with his whole head tilted up to the sky and his mouth wide open. A gloomy-looking young girl presses one hand to the back of the man's head and leans down to speak in his ear. Strangely enough, while her mouth was speaking, the sound was coming out of the man's mouth.

Xu Yunsheng is followed by three silent young girls with their heads bowed as she giggles and presses her hand against the back of the middle-aged man's head with increased force, almost snapping into his brain.

" Fu Wenduo , I heard you are the strongest player in China? I ..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh ..."

Tang Mo The crowd was listening intently to the sounds coming from the sky when suddenly, a miserable and desperate scream rang out. After this cry, the earth instantly returned to normal and the sound disappeared. The crowd froze, but did not let down their guard. After five minutes of no movement, Tang Mo narrowed his eyes and turned his head towards Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo shook his head at him.

Little did they know that in that small courtyard, blood was bursting out of the middle-aged man's eyes. Xu Yunsheng kicked him to the ground and the middle-aged man twitched twice and lost his breath.

"Useless piece of shit." Xu Yunsheng cursed with a cold smile and turned to walk away.

Just as she had turned her head and taken two steps, a clear, familiar child's voice rang out, carrying the sound across the land of China.

"Dingdong! Official China 2 player Jackass-Clan has successfully opened Eve's reward."

Xu Yunsheng brushes his head to look at The black tower, his face full of astonishment.

On the other hand, the eightieth secondary school in the Chaoyang District.

Tang Mo also froze at the sound of the voice, and gradually his expression turned odd. He laughed helplessly, "Well, China the only player who opened the reward?"

In the quadrangle.

Xu Yunsheng : "... Shit!"

The smack in the face came so fast, it was like a tornado.
