The Earth is Online Chapter 129:

Fu Wenduo put his ear on the metal wall of the safe, and gently tapped the side of the box with one hand, while the other hand kept turning the combination lock, listening to the sound inside. Tang Mo was illuminated with a flashlight. The three held their breaths softly, only to hear the rattle of the key turning in the room.
Not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
It stands to reason that the Black Tower Institute is hidden underground, and the appearance is covered by a robot laboratory, which is very safe. Such an obscure black safe placed in a corner should no longer have extra protective measures, just violently unpack it. But Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo still decided to try carefully.
There are eight passwords for the safe. One hour later, Fu Wenduo tried out four numbers.
The three are very patient. After another half an hour, only listening to a clear sound, Fu Wenduo looked up to Tang Mo. The two nodded, and Fu Wenduo stood up straight, snapped, and opened the heavy safe.
The bright light of the flashlight goes in without any measures to prevent violent removal. Tang Mo took out a thick stack of materials, and the dense English suddenly caught his eyes.
『Texas Marine Biological Research Institute
Experiment time: November 15, 2017
Subject: XX jellyfish
......
A-level response: 141 experimental samples died ... "
The thick materials were opened on the table by Tang Mo stall for three people to read together. There are too many exclusive terms on this document. It is normal for Fu Wensheng to understand at a young age. When he was at Tangmo University, his English was not bad, but he only understood a rough idea. He tried to read through all the information, but this kind of gimmicky view made him still confused.
Tang Mo turned the information back to the first page and looked at the line above.
"... is a jellyfish?"
Fu Wenduo's deep voice sounded: "It is a lighthouse jellyfish."
Tang Mo turned to look at him.
Fu Wenduo: "This experiment is to study the lighthouse jellyfish. This jellyfish generally lives in the waters of Central America. Recently, a large number of deaths. The Heta Institute of the United States discovered this abnormality and took the sample to China. The two countries discussed together. The experimental anomaly was on November 15th, and the US researchers came on the 17th. Before the two sides had time to study it carefully, the earth was online. "
Tang Mo: "Where do I seem to have heard about the creature like the lighthouse jellyfish."
Fu Wenduo didn't know this. The information written on the materials is not understandable in English, and requires a certain amount of knowledge. This is not the specialty of the two, perhaps Luo Fengcheng can understand, but he is far away in Shanghai.
Since there was no way, the three men checked the laboratory again. After confirming that there were no other anomalies, they took away this document and the blue glassware on the safe. The water in this vessel was left standing for five months, and it was already turbid. Tang Mo guessed that the original thing in it was probably a lighthouse jellyfish. It's just that the planet is online, all the animals in the world are gone, only humans are left, and this instrument will be empty.
The three of them took the information and quietly left the institute in the dark.
Tang Mo found a Xinhua bookstore. With his experience as a librarian, he easily found a thick English dictionary of marine life. The three of them looked at this book, which was thicker than Cihai, and turned it over day and night, and finally figured out what the material said.
The lighthouse jellyfish, inhabiting the Caribbean, has grown in recent years to Spain and Japan.
This is a small jellyfish with a transparent body and a red digestive system on the head. The whole body is about 5 mm long, only the size of a human fingernail. Jellyfish are generally quite sensitive to various reactions in nature, just like dragonflies will fly low and earthworms will crawl out of the soil before rainy days. The response of jellyfish to nature is also much more sensitive than that of humans. So after the Black Tower went online, the Texas Marine Biological Institute collected more than 200 jellyfish in the world for research, including lighthouse jellyfish.
"The lighthouse jellyfish is the only known organism in the world that can change from an adult to a juvenile ..."
Tang Mo was shocked to see this introduction.
Change from an adult body to a juvenile body ... This means that this creature can be rejuvenated. There was a guess in Tang Mo's heart, and he looked down again, as expected, the lighthouse jellyfish was actually immortal!
After the stage of sexual maturity, the lighthouse jellyfish will change back to the juvenile body during reproduction, and then grow from the juvenile body to the sexual mature body. There is no limit to the number of changes in this process, that is to say, if there is no external force to kill these jellyfish, they can reproduce again and again, become juveniles, and then grow into sexually mature bodies, and truly achieve immortality.
Tang Mo looked at the empty blue utensils. The lighthouse jellyfish originally stood here, but when the earth is online, they will inevitably disappear. And before disappearing ... they actually died.
The three have finished reading this information. The reason why the Black Tower Institute of the United States deliberately crossed the Pacific Ocean and came to Huaxia and Huaxia scientists to discuss the experiment of lighthouse jellyfish is because these lighthouse jellyfish died in a safe environment. A total of 201 experimental samples, 141 died, nearly two-thirds died.
Tang Mo thought for a while: "The data says that these lighthouse jellyfish did not die from external forces, but from self-propagating reproduction. After each asexual reproduction, they should change back to Hydra form. But on November 15, Two thirds of this group of lighthouse jellyfish have not changed back to hydra form after reproduction. Like other jellyfish, they died directly. "
Fu Wenchong: "November 15 is the day when the Black Tower first uttered. The earth will be online three days later. The death of these jellyfish must be related to the Black Tower. Jellyfish are more likely to detect changes in nature than humans. Did n’t you notice something before dying? "
This makes sense.
The day of November 15 is too special, it is hard to make people think of the black tower. And jellyfish are very sensitive animals. These lighthouse jellyfish are most likely to perceive some changes before they die one after another. However, it still doesn't make sense.
"The 141 lighthouse jellyfish should return to their juvenile bodies after asexual reproduction, but they have not changed, but died." Tang Mo tightened his eyebrows and his brain quickly moved. After a while, he suddenly looked up at Fu Wenduo, and he remembered a word: "Isn't it suicide?"
Fu Wenduo's brain hole has always been bigger than that of Tang Mo, but this time he listened to Tang Mo's words and he was slightly surprised.
Fu Wenduo thinks for a moment: "It is not affected by external forces, it really belongs to suicide."
A sudden flash of light flashed in Tang Mo's mind.
He seems to have seen a creature similar to a lighthouse jellyfish, not immortal, but very similar. He remembered for a long time, and finally found that kind of thing from the memory fragments. Tang Mo immediately said: "I have seen a lobster before, which is the product of a genetic mutation. The lobster is a sexually reproductive organism, but that lobster can reproduce asexually, which means it can constantly clone itself, all The offspring and its genes are consistent. It is also considered to be immortal, and is similar to this lighthouse jellyfish. "
Fu Wenduo gradually understood what Tang Mo meant: "You mean, asexual reproduction, constantly cloning yourself, and the genes have not changed ..."
Tang Mo caught the aura of light at once: "The genes will never change, that is to say, evolution will not happen."
Fu Wen grabbed his eyes and grabbed the keyword: "... evolution."
Yes, it's evolution.
Tang Mo turned the information down to dozens of pages. In the death experiment of the lighthouse jellyfish, the researchers gave 11 possible deaths. There are three possibilities. The first is external influence. Even if the researchers determine that they have accurately controlled the external factors of the experiment, they dare not be 100% sure that they really let these jellyfish reproduce in a completely safe state. The second is that the lighthouse jellyfish has a special way of death, which has not yet been discovered by humans. The third type is the evolution of species.
Asexual reproduction is a low-level method of reproduction. Gene stability makes it difficult for asexually reproduced species to evolve, such as paramecium and jellyfish. Sexual reproduction is the mainstream of evolution.
Researchers in the United States do not think that these lighthouse jellyfish will suddenly evolve all over the night, because this is too inconsistent with biological theory. However, they may never know that after three days, humans around the world are forced to enter the Black Tower game. Compared with the black tower, the sudden evolution of the creature seems extremely normal.
"They guessed that it was related to the black tower, but they didn't guess that the black tower would end up like this."
American researchers came across the ocean. They failed to reach a conclusion before disappearing, but they passed a guess to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo five months later.
Everything Black Tower does is for human evolution.
No one can prove whether this conjecture is correct, and now there is no lighthouse jellyfish on earth to support this theory. Tang Mo's heart was beating fast. After a long time, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.
After all, this is just a guess.
Tang Mo read all the information again and put it in his mind. For insurance purposes, Fu Wenduo and Fu Wensheng also read it again. Then, Tang Mo burned the document. Including those lighthouse jellyfish that disappeared in the blue vessels, he also threw the blue glass container into the fire.
After doing all this, Tang Mo raised his head and found that Fu Wenduo was looking at himself.
The two stared at each other quietly.
For a long time, Tang Mo smiled and asked: "It doesn't seem so strange. If the black tower is really forcing people to evolve, then it acts as a catalyst to stimulate human abilities. So why is it human?"
The lighthouse jellyfish has evolved, but after three days, they all disappeared. Only humans remain on the earth.
In a quiet bookstore, Fu Wenduo asked, "What is the smartest creature in the world?"
Tang Mo didn't understand why he asked this question, but he remembered a movie. Rarely have a mood to make a joke, Tang Mo said seriously, "Mouse."
Fu Wenduo: "..."
Fu Wenduo actually watched the movie, he said: "It is the choice of the black tower."
Yes, everything is Black Tower ’s choice.
Tang Mo did n’t know why Heita chose humans, or whether its purpose was to force humans to evolve. But there is no doubt that if this game really continues, humans will reach the seventh floor of the black tower, there will definitely be evolution. For now, the worst human players are smarter and stronger than they were six months ago.
All the materials taken from the laboratory were burned, and it was getting dark. The three planned to take a rest in the Xinhua Bookstore.
Suddenly, Fu Wen dazzled. He got up quickly and ran out of the bookstore with great speed. Tang Mo was shocked and pressed his hand on the small parasol. I saw Fu Wen's body flashed and walked outside the door. After waiting for ten seconds, Tang Mo did not wait for the other party to return.
Fu Wensheng: "Big Brother should have discovered something, but it is not a dangerous thing."
Tang Mo looked at the children. It is true that Fu Wenduo's caution cannot leave at random. It must have been something that he would suddenly go out, but it was not the enemy that struck, otherwise he would definitely tell Tang Mo.
Tang Mo thought about it and went out with Fu Wensheng.
The two bypassed the intersection and saw Fu Wenduo at once. Fu Wenduo has also turned around at this moment, and he seems to want to turn around and call Tang Mo and the two over. Seeing Tang Mo, he paused. Tang Mo's face gradually sank. He had seen the body lying behind Fu Wen's body.
Blood flows down the opponent's chest.
This is a young girl. She lay on the ground, looked at the sky, and opened her eyes unwillingly. Her heart was dug in half, and the flesh and blood fell beside her body, which was a killing. The blood hadn't completely coagulated yet, the thick blood flowed to Fu Wenduo's feet, and wet the soles of his shoes.
According to the time, it should be when Fu Wen seized the girl just died. If someone else saw this scene, it would be natural to think that Fu Wenduo killed her, just as Fu Wenduo still had blood on his hands. However, Tang Mo came calmly, checked it, and asked, "Did you see the murderer?"
Fu Wenduo: "No. When I arrived, her body had not fallen down and stood here. But her chest had been broken and half of her heart and ribs fell to the ground. I could n’t save it. I used mineral water It ’s still dead. The injuries are too serious, and her physique is not good enough. "
This should only be a low-power reserve, even if Fu Wen took the fastest speed and could not save her.
Fu Wenduo ’s physical fitness is better than that of Tang Mo. He should have heard the sound of the girl being attacked in the bookstore. It may also be that he has been doing tasks all the year round. He was killing the girl, so he didn't have time to say hello to Tang Mo, and ran straight over, wanting to come over with the fastest speed. It's a pity that it's too late. He didn't see the murderer, and he didn't save the girl.
Tang Mo reached out and closed the girl's eyes.
"The last time I could consider whether it was thrown out of the copy, this time is even stranger." Tang Mo looked cold and analyzed reasonably, "First of all they must have been killed by humans, and One shot killed, cruel means. This is the same thing. There is one thing in common, we have not seen the people who killed them. "
Fu Wenduo knew that Tang Mo was talking about a body they saw on the road three days ago. Like this time, it seems that he was killed by a transparent person. The two died in different ways, but they could not find the murderer. The last time I could say that it might be related to the copy of the Black Tower, but this time Fu Wenduo saw the girl falling down, but still could not see the murderer.
This is not like the style of the Black Tower game.
The night gradually sags, without electricity, the street lights on both sides of the road will not light up on time, and the world will dim. The three stood beside the already dead body, and the cold wind blew into Tang Mo's sleeves, and the wind seemed to be sobbing. The girl's blood slowly coagulated, turning into dark brown and burnt to the ground.
Tang Modao: "It's getting dark, first find a place, take her and take a closer look at the situation."
The three of them set off to leave.
Suddenly, a cheerful music sounded. The lively and cheerful music sounded over the world, Tang Mo quickly turned his head to look at the black tower, and saw the dark tower, with white bright lines rolling from bottom to top. The white light kept flashing, and the music of the Black Tower did not end.
When six o'clock arrives, the music stops abruptly, and the bright lines freeze into the middle row.
Players all over the world stopped their movements and looked at the Black Tower. Ninety percent of the players' faces showed fear, and they trembled in horror. Someone was crying and kneeling, begging God to save themselves. However, what they waited for was not God, but the black tower's extremely excited sound —
"Ding Dong! On March 31, 2018, the first compulsory tower attack game started."
Om!
After a dull voice, Tang Mo saw the black tower on the tower, the white bright line slowly changed, and finally became an eight-digit number-
『28315123』
As if he suddenly understood something, he turned his head and looked at Fu Wenduo.
Just ten seconds after they were ready to carry away the girl ’s body, the number on the black tower had changed-
『28315019』
Tang Mo's eyes widened.
...... This is only ten seconds past!
On the dark giant tower, the numbers are still changing.
