Survivorship Bias

Chapter 157: Have fun while suffering

Views:

The moment he saw Shen Ti, An Wujiu's heart twitched fiercely.

"Are you okay?" An Wujiu put down the gun and checked the wound on his body, "Why is there so much blood?"

Shen Ti tiredly put down the weapon he brought back, freed an arm to hold An Wujiu weakly, half hugged An Wujiu, but didn't touch him, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's not all my blood, And others."

An Wujiu's mind was full of Shen Ti's injury, he checked the side, there was a bullet wound on his shoulder, and it was still bleeding.

He turned around to get the medicine from the medical box, his hands stopped suddenly, he looked up at Shen Ti, frowning slightly, "Other... human?"

Shen Ti nodded, he never thought of cheating An Wujiu.

"I killed all the pollutants at the gas station, then got a better car there, filled it up, and suddenly a car of people came, they wanted to inherit my time, got out of the car and shot me. "

He described it very simply, with a relaxed tone, as if he were a bystander, "Four men, two young, two middle-aged, I killed one of them, and the other was seriously injured, and he probably wouldn't live long after escaping. .”

After explaining, Shen Ti lowered his eyes and withdrew his bloody hand.

"sorry."

Human life is of no value to him, but An Wujiu is very important. He doesn't want to violate his values and hurt others.

He had seen An Wujiu struggling to uphold his kindness with his own eyes, so he also wanted to be a good person like him.

Seeing Shen Ti like this, An Wujiu's heart seemed to be tightly clenched by an invisible hand, crushing it to pieces.

He raised his arms to hug Shen Ti, but Shen Ti dodged him.

"It's a bit dirty." Shen Ti spread out his arms, showing the blood and mucus on his clothes.

An Wujiu shook his head, without saying a word, stubbornly stepped forward and hugged him.

"Shen Ti, you didn't do anything wrong, don't blame yourself." An Wujiu leaned on his shoulder and hugged him very hard, "Just come back."

He doesn't need Shen Ti to be a perfect person at all.

An Wujiu hated the word perfection.

Shen Ti just needs to be Shen Ti.

Probably because he is not of another race, so Shen Ti would have some anxiety and some unacceptable fears in his heart from time to time, but they were all calmed down by An Wujiu.

He breathed a sigh of relief soundlessly, and rested his chin on An Wujiu's shoulder.

"No fault, I'm in so much pain."

Shen Ti's tone sounded a little aggrieved, which made An Wujiu, who was already very sad, couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

In fact, he doesn't hurt, those people are not his opponents at all.

Shen Ti didn't even intend to kill anyone, but when the bullet was fired, the man deviated from his initial position, escaped, and got hit instead.

If I knew it, I would hit my thigh.

An Wujiu quietly bandaged Shen Ti's wound, Shen Ti stared at his shoulder for a while, then turned to look at Wu You.

Wu You's condition was not very good, the number of tentacles increased again, the surface of the tentacles began to secrete mucus, a drop accumulated, and fell to the floor, making a sizzling corrosion sound.

Shen Ti hoped that no accident would happen to him, and he would not lose his humanity, otherwise if he chose to keep him, he might harm everyone.

"Okay." An Wujiu gritted his teeth, tied a firm knot, then kissed Shen Ti's shoulder, raised his face and smiled softly at him, "Does it still hurt?"

Shen Ti shook his head, and touched his forehead with his cleanest forehead, "Thank you."

An Wujiu gave him a kiss.

"You're welcome."

After Shen Ti came back, An Wujiu dared to close his eyes and fall asleep, but his subconscious mind was still full of vigilance, and he only slept for two hours, but during these two hours, he dreamed repeatedly.

The same dream as the hallucination that occurred when I closed my eyes before.

He was sure that it was Shen Ti's voice, talking intermittently.

But at that time he was still a child.

When he woke up, the night had not faded and the sky had just turned white, An Wujiu realized that he was sleeping on Shen Ti's lap.

He looked up and found that Shen Ti was looking at him with open eyes, and blinked like an animal.

An Wujiu laughed and moved his body.

"Did you not sleep?"

Shen Ti shook his head, "I'm not sleepy."

He didn't feel sleepy at all, but was very energetic. For some reason, Shen Ti's hearing became extremely sharp, so small that he could hear the subtle sound of Wu You's tentacles moving, and so loud that he could almost hear the movement of a kilometer around him. can't sleep.

"Oh my God!"

Zhong Yirou's voice attracted their attention, An Wujiu followed her shocked gaze back and saw Wu You's face.

No, to be precise, it's the extra pair of eyes on Wu You's face.

These eyes were the exact opposite of his original eyes, completely black.

"Wu You? Wu You?"

Hearing the sound, Wu You woke up from his sleep. He unexpectedly found that he could see An Wujiu in front of him, but his field of vision was dark, and An Wujiu was a red image, just like the image under the infrared monitor. screen.

He turned his head and saw Zhong Yirou walking towards him from the bed, her signature big wavy curly hair was easy to recognize.

Wu You turned back and looked around the room.

He suddenly found that one person was missing.

[Brother Wujiu, where is Shen Ti? ]

Shen Ti could also hear what Wu You said, he felt very surprised, and waved at Wu You, "Aren't I here?"

Wu You heard it now, but he felt it was strange and stared at the direction from which the sound came.

[You are here. But I can't see you. ]

Shen Ti smiled angrily, "With your present condition, who can you see?"

Wu You stretched out two tentacles, one pointing at An Wujiu and the other pointing at Zhong Yirou.

Embarrassed now, the other two looked at Shen Ti in unison.

"That's why I'm special." Shen Ti shrugged.

An Wujiu turned his face sideways and glanced at Shen Ti, Shen Ti just changed the subject, telling them that this place is not safe and they should leave as soon as possible, so they just tidied up hastily. While they were sleeping, Shen Ti had already searched for all the things that seemed usable here, and brought them into the car together.

After they started the car, An Wujiu spoke suddenly, belatedly.

"If Wu You can't see you, does it mean that other pollutants can't see you either?"

Shen Ti said he wasn't sure, but he recalled what happened last night.

"It's stupid to think about the pollutants yesterday, spinning around me."

"That's it." Zhong Yirou thought for a while, "In that case, you are very suitable for a sneak attack."

"But people can still see it." Shen Ti said casually while driving.

But in fact, there are not many surviving human beings, and even fewer can become enemies.

They drove to another city along Highway 413, and the destination was Chauvin Enterprise. Along the way, An Wujiu saw too many dead people and pollutants. They were once human beings.

Just when they were about to enter the next city, they saw an unforgettable scene.

This is the first time for An Wujiu to come here, so it is also the first time to see the landmark of this city—the rotating metal tower, which is a tower-shaped structure made of a semi-liquid alloy. The reason is because of the particularity of this alloy, it will make the whole building appear to rotate within a certain range.

This is the representative of the city of technology.

But now, the revolving tower is full of human corpses, the remains of pollutants, mixed with blood and mucus, showing a dark brown color in the early morning sunlight. Plates of unappetizing dishes, weird tower arrangements, weird food drizzled in sticky syrup.

Zhong Yirou almost couldn't hold back and vomited it out.

"It should have escaped to the top." Shen Ti whispered, driving past this building without looking sideways.

He didn't want An Wujiu to look, but he glanced at the rearview mirror, An Wujiu was looking back there.

Every place he passed, every cold corpse put a heavy shackle on An Wujiu's heart.

An Wujiu even wondered if he shouldn't have lived until this moment.

If you die earlier, you can come back earlier, and these people still have a chance to be born again.

"No fault, you can't think of anything else now."

Shen Ti saw through his heart and told him directly, "You must live until your time runs out."

An Wujiu raised his head.

"You have a certain chance to go back to the past, but if you don't collect enough information now, and don't try to understand things as much as possible, even if you go back, you won't be able to solve the fundamental problem."

Zhong Yirou nodded, "Shen Ti is right. If you want to succeed, you can't do it by chance. We have to find out why the altar invades reality. Is there any way to crack it, otherwise even if you really can reincarnation over and over again."

She turned her face and looked at him, "No fault, it just keeps you falling into the same pain."

An Wujiu silently looked out the window, it was clearly daytime, but the two moons in the sky still hadn't disappeared, including those cracked traces, they were extremely clear.

"I see," he said. "I won't take shortcuts."

He can't afford it either.

Backtracking once, his life points will be less. These life points may not last long during his reincarnation. He also has a card that needs to be exchanged for life points.

It's not enough anyway.

They drove into the city, and the once bustling city collapsed overnight. There were no aircrafts in the sky, and cars were almost invisible. In just a few hours, the place seemed to be "emptied".

Collapsed buildings are everywhere, and there are sounds of pollutants in the distance, gnawing and sweeping away, and there is a stench in the air.

Holding a pistol in his hand, Zhong Yirou carefully looked around, "Let's find a supermarket first, and add something..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a slamming sound, and the window glass shattered—

But it was not smashed from the outside to the inside, but on the contrary, it was Wu You's tentacles that stabbed out of the car window at an extremely fast speed!

Zhong Yirou didn't expect Wu You's actions. She turned her head and looked over, only to find that his tentacles had pierced a pollutant alive. The pollutant screamed in pain, and even maintained a posture of attacking them, but Now, he could only be pierced by Wu You's tentacles, and was dragged to the ground by the fast-moving car.

Not long after, Wu You stretched out another one, this time it was Shen Ti's car window that shattered, the speed was so fast that Shen Ti was startled by him.

"Do you want to pierce my neck?" Shen Ti stepped back, completely sticking to the driver's seat, leaving a space for Wu You's tentacles, and continued driving with great difficulty.

An Wujiu saw that Wu You had wrapped his tentacles around the giant monster's leg, so he lowered the car window, pointed a gun at the monster's head in the car that told the move, and replaced that guy for him.

Only then did Wu You retract both tentacles, but at this moment, the roof of their car shook violently!

Zhong Yirou looked up and felt that a sharp claw was about to cut through the metal roof of the car, and it was the pollutants that jumped up! She hurriedly raised her gun, but in an instant, Wu You's tentacles burst out of the window, swift and flexible, and grabbed the opponent like a giant python.

They couldn't see what was going on, but could only hear the sound of beating, the roar of pollutants, and the collision and rolling on the roof of the car.

With a final bang, half of the pollutant fell off, slid down the windshield, and finally rolled to the ground.

Looking at the bloody windshield, Shen Ti sighed and turned on the self-cleaning mode.

Zhong Yirou was very excited, "Wu You! You have become too strong! You have the strongest combat power!" She was about to slap Wu You on the shoulder, but Wu You's reaction was too fast, and the tentacles reached out first out.

This tentacle was different from the one he had killed the monster just now, it was small, with no mucus or sharp teeth on it, it was soft.

Zhong Yirou froze for a moment, her palm was still hanging in the air, when the little tentacles in front of her suddenly reached out and slapped her palm.

Like a high five.

"You're so cute!" Zhong Yirou hugged Wu You's head from the back row, Wu You's tentacles trembled in fright, the corrosive mucus was confiscated and dripped on Shen Ti's leg.

"It hurts, hurts..." Shen Ti grabbed his sleeve and wiped it frantically.

An Wujiu was amused by them.

They sat in the car, shuttled through the short-term safety, and had fun in bitterness. Everyone had a good laugh, as if nothing terrible had happened and loved ones hadn't left.

The window of the car was broken, and the wind was blowing in. Shen Ti chanted to Wu You all the time, so noisy that Wu You had to plug his ears with two tentacles, pretending not to hear.

"Hey, there's a big supermarket in front." Zhong Yirou patted Shen Ti's shoulder, "Let's go buy some water and food."

"pain."

An Wujiu couldn't remember that this was the first time Shen Ti complained about pain, he smiled, watched Shen Ti stop the car, and got out of the car with him.

"I'll touch it for you." An Wujiu held the gun in one hand, and gently put the gauze on Shen Ti's wound with the other hand.

Only then did Shen Ti show a satisfied expression.

The roller gate of the supermarket was ajar, they could only bend down to get in, An Wujiu walked in the front, Wu You was almost stuck in the doorway, Zhong Yirou dragged him in for a long time.

The inside is quieter than the street outside, and there are lights, but the lights are relatively dim. There are a lot of goods scattered on the floor, and several rows of shelves have fallen on the ground, as if there were traces of a fight.

An Wujiu cautiously said to act together, but this place is bigger than imagined, with two floors, Zhong Yirou suggested to separate, she and Wu You went to get medicine and medical supplies together, Shen Ti and An Wujiu were in charge of water and food.

"Alright then." An Wujiu checked the bullets in her gun.

"But you can't communicate with Wu You." Shen Ti said.

"It's okay." Zhong Yirou patted Wu You's tentacles, "When he sees danger, he doesn't need me to communicate with him, he will definitely make a move."

And it is true.

"Then let's get together as soon as possible, gather here and go out together."

Seeing Zhong Yirou and Wu You going in another direction, An Wujiu turned around and went to the food area with Shen Ti.

It is obvious here that it has been raided by people, so canned food, which is the easiest to preserve, has been taken away early, the shelves are empty, and there are not many fast foods. An Wujiu can only see and eat. Everything is installed.

Shen Ti suddenly heard something, not near the shelf, some distance away. The sound was like a living thing coming from the throat, with the familiar panting sound of pollutants.

"Wu Jiu." He grabbed An Wu Jiu's wrist, "Come with me."

Shen Ti followed the sound and walked forward, passing through the rows of shelves, and came to the fresh food area. There was a lot of raw meat in the freezer, but raw meat is not a good choice for human beings when they are fleeing.

An Wujiu also felt wrong.

The sound was getting closer.

Shen Ti led An Wujiu, and walked step by step to a door in the fresh food area, where it says [freezer].

The door was blocked by many heavy objects, as if they were afraid that the things inside would escape.

"Stand back a bit." Shen Ti moved those things away, ready to open the door.

His subconscious is accurate.

After opening the door, cold air poured out, and An Wujiu couldn't believe what was inside.

It was a pollutant that was tied up and trapped here. Those tentacles were pitifully sticking to the cold ground, and a needle was inserted into the neck of the pollutant.

Unlike Wu You, this pollutant can no longer see a human face, but his hair is still long human hair.

It's a female.

Her consciousness is lax, it seems that because of the needle, she has no attack power.

An Wujiu got closer, because he found a miniature communicator on the ground, which was equipped by the supermarket staff, but when he tried to pick it up, he found that the communicator was fixed on the ground.

Everything is very strange, why do people trap pollutants in the refrigerator, and seem to be listening to her.

Who is this pollutant

No, rather than being trapped, it is better to say feed this pollutant.

Shen Ti stared at the pollutant in front of him, and had a weird association, which he felt very familiar, very familiar, but it was impossible.

Suddenly, the communicator rang, and a voice came from inside.

An Wujiu felt that all the blood in his body was frozen at this moment.

Because it was a voice he was very, very familiar with.

"who?"

On the other end, Zhong Yirou and Wu You went up the stairs to the second floor of the supermarket in order to find medicines. They passed through the shelves. Wu You almost half-wrapped Zhong Yirou with his tentacles, protecting her as she walked.

"Ah, I found it." Zhong Yirou pointed over there, and suddenly she thought that Wu You couldn't hear her, so she had to tug on his tentacles, and just like that, she dragged him to the medical supplies area.

This place was similar to the one below, and there was not much left after being swept away, but Zhong Yirou was pleasantly surprised to see some medicine to stop the bleeding, and ran over to put all the medicine into the burden bag she made out of her coat.

"Can you take your tentacles?" Zhong Yirou didn't bother to raise his head, "Help me get some."

Suddenly, she froze for a second as she heard a muffled gunshot.

Zhong Yirou thought it was an illusion, and in the next second, Wu You, who was injured in the back of his head, fell on the shelf. His tentacles reached into the back of his head, as if he was trying hard to take out the bullet.

"Wu You? Wu You?" Zhong Yirou wanted to help him.

But in the next second, a gun hit the back of her head.

Zhong Yirou's heart was about to jump out, the shelves were collapsed by Wu You, and fell down row by row, only then did she realize that Wu You was not only shot, but also had a needle in his back.

Collapsed shelves shattered the medicine cabinet, and the shattered glass reflected her face and the man standing behind her.

Zhong Yirou frowned, and for some reason, her tears suddenly fell and slid down her cheeks.

A chill climbed from the tailbone to the back of the neck, and her bones were almost trembling.

Is this a dream

"... Erci?"

The gunman looked at her expressionlessly, the finger that once gently stroked her cheek was now on the trigger.

This must be a nightmare.
