Survivorship Bias

Chapter 148: margins of madness

Views:

Shen Ti's sudden appearance shocked everyone, including Lilith who was planning to assassinate her.

The pollutants that were rushing up all stopped their movements the moment Shen Ti appeared, as if they were intimidated by an invisible force, unable to resist.

Gabriel in the distance is behind Zhong Yirou. He has experienced the mutation of Lilith in a short period of time. Watching Zhong Yirou suddenly transform from a young and beautiful girl into a monster covered in tentacles, surrounded by so many pollutants, I also saw Shen Ti suddenly appearing like a ghost, his legs went limp.

"What are you doing..."

Just when Shen Ti turned around, they couldn't help but backed away.

The entire encirclement expands outward in this way and continues to expand.

Even Zhong Yirou, who had turned into a pollutant, couldn't help backing away. This sense of oppression was too strong. For her, it was like draining all the air around her, and everything in her body would explode soon.

She could only back away, and let go of the tentacles protecting Zhou Yijue and Gabriel. Before they were attacked by Lilith and the pollutants, the long and thick tentacles retracted, and finally returned to her empty eye socket middle.

An Wujiu covered his wounds, and walked towards Nan Shan who was lying on the ground step by step.

Half of Wu You's arm was chopped off and fell into the pool of blood under Nan Shan's body, which was shocking.

"Wait, I'll save you." An Wujiu knelt on the ground, pressed his bloody hand against his wound, tried his best to stop the bleeding.

The semi-conscious Nan Shan could vaguely see the HP on top of An Wujiu's head, which was very little left after this severe injury.

With such a small amount of health, I'm afraid they only have one last chance left.

An Wujiu couldn't stop the blood no matter what, no matter how he suppressed it, the gushing blood seemed to be his irreversible ending, self-serving, presented in front of his eyes with sarcasm.

"Listen to me... Wujiu, Wujiu..." Nanshan stretched out a bloody hand and held An Wujiu's wrist, his pale lips moved with great difficulty, giving An Wujiu a comfort She smiled, "Don't waste time on me... She, she just said, it's for her brother... Have you ever thought about it, could that masked person... be... you from another time and space?"

These words made An Wujiu's hand slightly stagnant.

Want to tell the truth

It's not that he didn't think about it, especially when the masked man appeared, but when the elevator door opened, he saw the masked man shoot Lilith with his own eyes. He thought, no matter how bad and extreme it became, he would He would definitely not kill Lilith, and tell him that she was his sister. In the eyes of the masked man, she was just a pawn, An Wujiu couldn't accept that that person was himself.

"I... I don't know..."

For the first time An Wujiu showed his helpless look in front of them.

He hangs his head like a doomed loser.

Nanshan's voice was very soft, and he held An Wujiu's hand with all his strength, "Wujiu, I'm just guessing, but no matter who the masked man is... he can win you, just... it's because you care too much about us, Wants so much to protect each of us, and he doesn't care about anything... "

"You have to survive yourself... don't be afraid..." Nan Shan exhausted her last strength, almost speechless, and wrote a word on the back of An Wujiu's hand with bloody fingers.

Before finishing the last stroke, his hand dropped.

While Wu You was crying, An Wujiu lowered his head and saw the writing on the back of his hand.

Abandon.

Did he really do something wrong.

An Wujiu couldn't accept this, he couldn't leave these people behind, and he wouldn't allow himself to become another masked person.

He staggered to his feet and picked up his gun. He saw Shen Ti walking towards Lilith seemingly calmly, but An Wujiu knew that his calmness was actually on the verge of losing control.

Sure enough, Shen Ti picked up the gun on the ground and aimed it at Lilith's forehead.

"Don't kill her yet." An Wujiu walked up to her and asked her expressionlessly, "Your brother and I look the same, right?"

Lilith was in a daze, and suddenly became crazy again, with tears in her eyes, and her body twitched.

An Wujiu saw the eye of a needle on her arm.

"It was your brother who asked you to kill me. He controlled you."

These words stung Lilith severely, she raised her head suddenly, and shouted hysterically, "He loves me."

An Wujiu smiled bleakly, then shook his head again.

It really does look like him.

When Shen Ti heard this sentence, he felt very heartbroken, and that pain came from An Wujiu.

A brother who truly loved her, worked hard to survive for her, and tried his best to find her, but what he got in the end was only killing.

And the person who used her, who regarded her as a tool, became "the person who loves her the most".

Why.

Why is An Wugui suffering everything.

That extreme power revived again, hot blood rushed to Shen Ti's throat.

An Wujiu lowered his eyes and saw the writing on the back of his hand, all he could think of was the scene of Nan Shan being stabbed with a knife.

He raised his gun and pointed it at Lilith's chest.

No matter how you say it, it was his sister who killed Nanshan, and it was also the tragedy that he indirectly caused.

Such a big hidden danger must be dealt with by someone.

He clenched the handle tightly with his fingers, and trembled uncontrollably. Lilith's crying face was right in front of his eyes, and it gradually turned into the girl who was in the ventilation duct when she was a child, the little girl who was about to be separated from him. .

The moment he closed his eyes, wanted to overcome everything, and pulled the trigger.

Blood suddenly splashed on his face.

An Wujiu opened his eyes and found a tentacle with hooked mouthparts piercing Lilith's chest.

"Lilith?"

The pollutants were separated by at least one meter, An Wujiu looked at Shen Ti, but Shen Ti looked surprised and seemed to have done nothing.

Only when Lilith fell down did they clearly see that the tentacle that pierced her chest came out of the ground.

"careful!"

An Wujiu pulled Shen Ti back, the tentacles broke through the ground, like a giant python, with scales and teeth interlaced on every inch of the tentacles, greasy mucus was hanging from the tips of the teeth, dripping down.

Zhong Yirou found that the moment this tentacle appeared, Shen Ti's control over the land was weakened.

Or it was checked and balanced.

[This should be that evil god! ]

The snipers in the distance, Wu You, Zhou Yijue, and Gabriel nearby also took up weapons and shot at the giant tentacles. To their surprise, the scales were not indestructible, but could be penetrated by bullets!

So they increased their firepower, but the surprise died out too quickly, because at the same time that the mucus was splashed out of those penetrated places, new tiny tentacles were drilled out, and these tentacles were extremely flexible, shooting around like pistols Launch to kill the target.

Zhong Yirou resisted the attack with her body, and released tentacles from her empty eye sockets to contend with it.

Everyone worked together to deal with this difficult enemy that suddenly appeared. But An Wujiu felt it was wrong, these attacks were only aimed at other people, not him.

Just thinking about it, he felt a lightness in his waist.

Turning around, he saw Shen Ti pull out the long knife from his waist, his expression was terribly cold, he stood up and jumped up, holding the knife with both hands at a height that human beings can't reach, and started the huge tentacle from the tip, Severely split in half.

His movements were coherent and neat, and the mucus splashed out, but it didn't reach him at all.

Such explosive power made them all stunned. An Wujiu was about to cooperate with him, but he didn't expect that Shen Ti would walk into the pollutants that he had previously frightened by with a long knife.

"Hey." Zhou Yijue who was not far away winked at An Wujiu, "There is something wrong with that guy."

Shen Ti seemed to be in a killing mood. He who used to disdain to do anything was actually beheading those pollutants frantically, crying all over the place in an instant.

The tentacles that had turned into two halves fell to the ground and moved suddenly. When Wu You found out, he shot immediately, but before it was too late, the tentacles flew straight towards Zhong Yirou.

An Wujiu shot and killed the tentacles while heading over there. But in an instant, Shen Ti appeared in front of him, completely blocking him.

This kind of teleportation ability, he seems to have not only awakened.

"Shen Ti!" An Wujiu grabbed his hand, but was thrown away.

Shocked, he watched as Shen Ti raised his hand and swung the knife, severing the resuscitated tentacle in the middle. Obviously he was not satisfied with this, so he chopped the tentacles into large and small pieces and watched them fall to the ground.

"It's alright, Shen Ti, stop!" An Wujiu stepped forward, wanting to grab his hand holding the knife, but Shen Ti was one step ahead of him and swung the knife towards Zhong Yirou!

An Wujiu couldn't imagine, he reflexively rushed to the front, between the two of them, the knife fell quickly.

Finally, it stopped in front of An Wujiu's forehead.

different from usual.

Shen Ti stared straight at An Wujiu, like a hunting animal.

He tilted his head a little stiffly, still staring at An Wujiu.

"Shen Ti, it's me." An Wujiu tentatively communicated with him, stretched out her hand, put it on his wrist, and stroked it gently.

He saw that Shen Ti's sanity value fluctuated greatly. In such a short period of time, only half of it was left, but his life value was still full.

The green gleam in Shen Ti's eyes dimmed a little, he blinked, and gradually lowered his hands following his movements.

Zhong Yirou stepped back a little more, since Shen Ti appeared, she knew that even if she became a pollutant, she would not be able to compete with Shen Ti. But she didn't understand why Shen Ti went crazy, and An Wujiu didn't even break down.

Just when Shen Ti was about to regain his senses, they suddenly heard a familiar voice.

The voice of that rabbit.

"So it was you."

An Wujiu turned his face and tried to follow the sound to find it, but unexpectedly the pieces at his feet moved again, but this time they were not attacking, but looking for each other.

The fragments of pollutants scattered everywhere gradually merged, pieced together and glued together in front of their eyes, forming a deformed whole.

The blue light enveloped the whole body of these pieces of flesh, and soon, that huge deformed body gradually became like a shadow of a person.

The blue light disappeared, and what they saw was Russell and Noah who was led by him.

Noah's face was pale, his eyes were empty, as if he was just a doll.

The rabbit's voice gradually turned into Russell's voice, and the two overlapped. He turned his face sideways, looked at Shen Ti, and showed a weird smile, a smile imitating a human being.

"I have been looking for you for a long time, my dear brother."

What

An Wujiu looked at Shen Ti.

It turns out that they are not only the same kind, but also blood related life forms.

"We are not complete now, but I really didn't expect that you could be so much weaker than me. It wasn't like that at the beginning."

Russell looked at An Wujiu again, and walked towards him, An Wujiu raised his gun defensively, but the other side smiled contemptuously, "You don't really think that you can kill me, do you?"

He continued to walk towards them, "With your human body? Small and humble human beings have great ambitions."

An Wujiu shot at his head continuously, almost crushing Russell's head, bloody and bloody, but in the next second, the shattered parts fused together again, returning to its previous appearance.

A residue fell on Russell's shoulder. He straightened his collar, picked up the residue gracefully, and put it into his mouth.

"Listen." The smile on his face disappeared, and he raised his eyebrows at An Wujiu, "I know you can go back, or he can take you back, so I won't let you die so easily .”

He let go of Noah's hand, and opened his arms in the dawn light, "Watching your friends die one by one, but you can be lucky to live, isn't it great?"

"Of course, these people are not important at all. If you die, you will die. There is nothing to be sad about." Russell raised the corner of his mouth.

"Except... this one."

His hands suddenly turned into tentacles, stretching out so quickly that human eyes couldn't catch them.

When An Wujiu's gaze really caught him, he saw Shen Ti fell down, and he himself was lifted up by the tentacles entangled, his hands and feet were pierced by the split tentacles, and he was firmly fixed.

His Shen Ti was pierced, there was a big, big hole.

Impossible, this is impossible.

An Wujiu's whole body was shaking, he didn't believe that Shen Ti would die.

But the life value above Shen Ti's head was cleared to zero.

"Kill me, hurry up, Yirou, Zhou Yijue, kill me quickly!"

An Wujiu yelled almost collapsed, his head hurt so badly, as if something was going to come out again.

Zhong Yirou wanted to do this. An Wujiu found her alone when he disembarked from the aircraft, and made an appointment with her.

If there is a time when An Wujiu cannot commit suicide, she will definitely do it for him.

"ridiculous."

Russell chuckled, and within a moment, Wu You, Zhou Yijue, Gabriel, and Zhong Yirou who had become a pollutant all died.

Died before An Wujiu's eyes.

An Wujiu looked at everything in front of him in dismay, at his gradually decreasing health.

"It feels like you can't die even if you want to die. It's hard." Russell said with a smile, "It's all thanks to the Human Innovation Project, which turned you into such a tenacious living body. It's hard to die straight away."

Russell laughed mockingly, "Although you are only a human being, at least you are the strongest among them. Your collapse and madness must be very delicious. I can't wait..."

Before he finished speaking, a bullet came from a distance, piercing through An Wujiu's head.

How can it be…

Russell turned his head sharply, looking in the direction of the bullet.

Suddenly, another one precisely penetrated An Wujiu's chest!

At the end of his life, An Wujiu, who was riddled with holes, laughed softly.

"The game... is not over yet."
