For every word he said, Shen Ti held a firm skeptical attitude.
Because he has experienced it before, it is very clear that An Wujiu in front of him is in a vicious and complicated stage, and it is only because he thinks that no one present is a threat to him that he restrains his sharp thorns a little bit.
Once there is a threat, he will immediately raise the gun in his hand.
In fact, whether good or evil, An Wujiu has one thing that remains constant. Under his seemingly affectionate appearance, there is a ruthless heart.
No matter how kind, it is also ruthless.
So what he said about protection is one point true and nine points false.
"Why did you pull me just now?"
Asking this question, Shen Ti knew that there was a high probability that An Wujiu would not answer him, and even if he answered, it would probably be prevarication.
Sure enough, An Wujiu gradually subdued the hostility that was on his face, retracted the gun and lowered his head to reload.
When he raised his head again, An Wujiu stared at Shen Ti with an indistinguishable smile in his eyes.
"My benefits haven't been redeemed yet, you're dead, where can I have fun?"
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the return service area, and Shen Ti was with him. An Wujiu glanced at Shen Ti's hand pretending to be unintentional, and found that Shen Ti didn't hold the wound at all, and the place where the blood was bleeding just now, now there is no blood at all.
This is a bit too fast.
"The gloves are off, let me see."
Shen Ti didn't intend to hide, but he also didn't intend to listen to An Wujiu's words honestly. He put his hand in front of An Wujiu, making an expression of "take it off yourself".
An Wujiu snorted, did not stretch out his hand, glanced at the slit of the leather glove, the blood that was about to dry covered the faintly visible wound.
Not quite right.
But An Wujiu didn't know whether such a fast healing power was because of the game, or because of Shen Ti himself.
He also thought of Shen Ti's hand injury, what he said "it's nothing to me".
Is it really nothing
Seeing that An Wujiu didn't speak, Shen Ti withdrew his hand, "It doesn't hurt."
An Wujiu felt that this person was baffled, "Did I ask you?"
Shen Ti paused, walked forward, and continued to talk nonsense: "I was in the game once, it was a round of the game a long time ago, when I was cut off by a monster. The whole one, start from here." He also compared his left shoulder to show An Wujiu.
But An Wujiu only thought it was ridiculous, he didn't want to listen to the story, so he sneered.
But this sneer was also regarded as a response by Shen Ti. He continued, "At that time, I thought that I could finally die this time. Although it hurt a little, I felt a sense of relief in my heart."
"As a result, that monster stopped cutting me. He seemed to be visually impaired. After cutting off his arm, he ran in another direction and killed others." Shen Ti's green eyes seemed to have fireflies. In the flicker, it was beautiful, "I reflected on it later, maybe because the man screamed and attracted the attention of the monster, I didn't think to scream at the time."
Obviously the description was dry, without even a decent description, but An Wujiu actually felt a little curious.
But he suppressed it and was not ready to ask questions.
From a distance, An Wujiu heard Wu You's voice, as if he was trying to argue for something.
As if talking to himself, Shen Ti said slowly: "Later, I picked up the arm that was cut off by myself and walked to a place where it seemed easy to meet monsters, but I was too tired. He sat on the ground and fell asleep holding my arm."
After finishing speaking, he looked at An Wujiu with an expression on the verge of sighing, "It's not dead yet."
For a moment, An Wujiu wanted to complete this guy with the gun in his hand, but the next second he thought about it again.
It is better to torture him if he is left alive.
Either way, it's an extremely bad idea.
"It's great to have a big life." An Wujiu raised his eyebrows, "If you really want to die, you can leave this life to me."
His tone seemed to be pre-ordering a new medal on his shoulder, or a long-awaited exquisite postage stamp.
Not only that, An Wujiu also deliberately patted Shen Ti's left arm.
While talking, they had reached the door of the return room.
An Wujiu frowned.
There are baby laughs in it.
Yang Erci woke up from the coma, the scene in front of her made her speechless.
They are now in a factory-like place. The sloping walls on both sides and the entire north wall are full of live living cabins, regular and dense square cabins like a beehive.
There are women with different skin colors in the cabin, and labels are displayed outside the cabin, which contain information such as their weight, height, blood type, education, etc., but there is no name.
Yes, no names, but they have their own numbers.
These women are locked in the cabin like some kind of animal, and some are being cleaned. The cleaning process is very convenient, and there is no need to change the venue. An even amount of water was sprayed from the top of the shelter and poured over their bodies. The water soon stopped, and the next process was drying.
Hot air gushed out from all directions in the cabin. They waited naked to be dried, but they were not allowed to put on clothes, perhaps because the clothes would affect the system’s monitoring of the health of the fetus. In short, they stayed inside like this, exposing their precious bellies .
A more sensitive and smaller robotic arm appeared in the cabin, distributed the exact same food to them, and then "actively" injected them with nutritional injections.
No right to refuse.
After the whole process, they don't seem to be human beings, or even living things.
Rather, it is an item, a product source.
an organ.
After entering the return room, Wu You always felt that Nanshan was not normal, but it was not because of physical strength.
For example, at this moment, he saw Nanshan staring at the [Return Notice] on the wall for a long time, as if in a daze.
So Wu You followed suit.
[1. After identification, if the baby belongs to the level of disability (disability, congenital disease, maternal-fetal virus infection, mental retardation, etc.), 50% of the breeding fee will be refunded.
2. If the baby dies of illness seven days after birth, 50% of the breeding fee will be refunded, and the customized fee will be waived to breed another newborn for you.
3. The institution shall not be responsible for any human-induced illness, injury or death of the baby.
4. If it is not the baby's own reasons, the agency will not accept returns.
5. Babies are special commodities, so be cautious when returning them. What you return may be a beautiful human life. ]
It's ironic to put the first four together with the last one.
Wu You turned his face to the side, and saw that Nanshan was still in a daze.
"Hello, Taoist priest."
Only then did Nanshan come back to her senses, and turned her face away, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with you?" Wu You frowned, "You've been in a daze for a long time."
"It's nothing." Nanshan smiled at him, but said nothing else, "Check if there are any files or labels, there may be clues in the text."
Josh inspected the incubators, where the babies were almost asleep. There is a label in the upper left corner of the glass incubator, which says gender, production time, and reason for return.
These children don't even have a name, only a series of cold numbers.
"Reason for return: Congenitally low eyesight." Josh read aloud, thinking that the reason was unreasonable, "Why? It's just that the eyesight is not very good. Many people have vision problems. How can they not have children because of this? "
Nan Shan lowered her head, looked at the other children, and answered his puzzlement, "Because in essence, I bought it myself. The child born by myself, no matter what, is a destined result and the result of pouring love into it." Crystallization, so rarity is too critical."
"But once it becomes a purchased commodity, what you pay is just a sperm and an egg, and even the egg is bought. If you give the money to get something, you will have the mentality of value for money or even more than value for money. , a little flaw is unacceptable."
Josh felt powerless. In addition to this reason, there are many, many less than perfect reasons for abandonment.
But on the other hand, he feels sympathy for those couples who cannot have children.
"But people who can't have children, they are also very..."
The corner of Nanshan's mouth raised with a hint of a wry smile, "There are many children in this world, I just want to raise a child, it's such a simple thing."
"But sometimes what they want is not a child that needs to be raised well, but an exclusive item that is marked with themselves to prove their existence, and even use this child to make themselves more 'complete'. Only That's all."
"If you can't give birth to a child, do you have to use someone else's womb to give birth? Now that artificial wombs have appeared, why do you have to force young and beautiful women to donate their mothers?"
Wu You couldn't accept this point of view. Although he had always been reticent, at this moment he felt that he could not keep silent.
"Do you know the black swan? The biggest black market on the Internet. I saw a recruitment advertisement on it, which clearly marked the price of various human organs, from internal organs to sexual organs. At the bottom of the advertisement is the recruitment of pregnant mothers. Different prices are given according to different requirements. : Those who accept multiple births will be given 20,000 US dollars, and those who accept caesarean section will be given 15,000. The price is more beautiful for a caucasian blond beauty who graduated from a prestigious university. Removal of the uterus, pay $10,000."
"I don't have a womb, and I haven't actually seen these pregnant mothers, but just from this advertisement, I know that this is not the right thing." Wu You said with a serious expression, "According to such business rules, what are they? Humans, or wombs?"
Josh couldn't find any reason to refute his rudeness just now, so he sincerely apologized.
Wu You didn't speak anymore, and the atmosphere became very heavy. Nan Shan, who thought that it would enliven the atmosphere, chose to remain silent at this time.
Intuition tells Wu You that Nanshan seems to have something hidden.
Perhaps he was also an outcast.
Everyone checked the shelves one by one, and Nanshan finally saw an unlabeled incubator on the penultimate row of the last row of shelves.
The baby in the incubator was a newborn Caucasian who was perhaps only a few weeks old. On the surface, it doesn't seem like he has any disability issues.
Nan Shan found that one of his hands seemed to be clenched tightly, which felt a little wrong. So he tried to find a way to open the incubator, but he found a circle around the edge, and there was almost no edge to pry it open.
However, if the box is opened violently, the baby inside may be injured.
So Nan Shan sat cross-legged, placed the nursery box in front of her, counted the time in her mind, and made a seal with her hands.
After Nanshan took down the incubator box, Josh actually found a micro-hard drive in the place where the box was placed, which was the same as what An Wujiu found before, except that what he found was Nanshan and Zhong Yirou's.
What Josh found had his number written on it.
After putting away the hard drive, seeing Nanshan acting strangely, Josh was about to step forward, but was grabbed by Wu You, who shook his head at him and whispered that Nanshan was casting a spell. Josh immediately felt sorry, nodded repeatedly, and backed away a little. Although he knew he was a Taoist priest, this was the first time he saw him cast a spell, and he felt it was novel. A few yellow charms flew out from Nan Shan's cuff, and hit the ground. Immediately, a circular curse seal with golden light appeared, and the six-faced yellow talisman swirled a few times, affixed to each side of the incubator.
A few seconds after Nanshan chanted the spell, a golden light flashed, and there was a crackling sound in the silence. It was the glass wall of the incubator, which was lifted under the effect of mana, and the spells did not disappear, but Wrapped the baby in the middle, and sent him safely to Nanshan's hands.
"It's, it's really useful?" Josh couldn't believe his eyes.
Although Wu You knew it was useful, he didn't want to show praise and admiration, and deliberately said to him, "There must be a real solution, you are cheating like this."
"Cheating is also a kind of ability." Nanshan smiled and held the child's hand. Judging from the temperature, it seemed that there was not much difference. He gently opened the child's tightly held little hand, not too heavy. It took a while to break it apart.
Inside is just a small metal ball, nothing else.
He took the ball, closed the child's hand, and put him back in the incubator where he had been before, standing up and returning him to his original position.
Putting down the box, Nan Shan looked down at the metal ball the size of a fingernail in his hand, which showed that it was very smooth without any marks.
"There seems to be nothing else." Josh suggested whether to leave first, "I'm afraid something will happen to them, isn't Yirou fainted?"
That's right, Wu You agrees. Just getting ready to go. They heard a flapping sound.
It's like knocking on the wall, and it's like knocking on the door.
Looking towards the door, Wu You saw An Wujiu and Shen Ti.
Before he had time to figure out what the slapping sound was, he heard An Wujiu ask him back, "Didn't you hear the baby's laughter?"
An Wujiu stood at the door, did not enter, but ordered them to come out.
laughter
Several people in the room reacted immediately and walked out, but the slapping sound behind them became louder and denser.
Countless glasses finally shattered, making a loud noise. Shen Ti saw the returned babies crawl out of the glass box, their bodies swelled and swelled, and they quickly grew into strange blue-purple creatures like mutations. The reaction was very fast. One of them had already grabbed Josh's ankle.
"boom-"
With a loud bang, thick green mucus splashed on Josh's legs, arms, and side face.
"No fault, they are returned children..."
"They are monsters who want to kill you."
An Wujiu shot and killed expressionlessly, without stopping for a moment. In his eyes, even if these monsters had baby faces and did not mutate, they were still fake, enemies fabricated by data.
He tilted his head to aim, and the bullet casings fell off the gun body quickly, like the monsters in front of him fell one by one.
But the quantity is too much.
"Fuck, should buy a machine gun."
They retreated quickly, An Wujiu kicked the door shut.
The group of monsters behind them uttered sharp cries, more like laughter than crying.
An Wujiu reloads quickly, the rate of fire of the shotgun is very limited, he can only shoot one headshot at a time, without missing a single shot.
But the bullets are running out.
Just when he was about to shoot the last shot, he suddenly heard Shen Ti's voice.
"Run back!"
Shen Ti held the hand of the only one of them, An Wujiu saw something thrown by Shen Ti's injured hand.
Then, the pipe behind them ignited a raging fire. In the extreme thermal air and flames, they fled to the square doorway they first entered, and the skeleton of the robot that was killed was still there.
"I also exchanged one." Shen Ti didn't seem to be affected by the incendiary bombs thrown at close range. Behind him was the howling of the monster covered in fire, and he explained the course of the fire calmly, "Use it casually, the effect not bad."
His face showed a calmness and complacency that shouldn't be there after committing a crime.
An Wujiu glanced at the tubular passage behind, the monster on fire twisted and fell down, red like a burning sunset glow, tangled into a ball.
He smiled and looked at Shen Ti, "What is this?"
Shen Ti thought carefully for two seconds.
"Let's get along," he said.

The author has something to say:
The job advertisement mentioned by Wu You in the article is actually real, with a lower “price”. It appeared in Ukraine, the “womb of Europe” and circulated on Facebook. The content is roughly like this:
"Emergency plan! We are looking for a mother with twins!!! Embryos ready!
Not older than 35 years old. Payment terms: program incentives - 14,000 EUR; monthly - 300 EUR; clothes - 300 EUR; embryo transfer - 300 EUR.
Risks and Compensation: – If caesarean section is required – EUR 1,000 – If abortion is required – Pregnancy EUR 80 per week – Loss of fallopian tubes – EUR 1,500 – Loss of uterus – EUR 3,000 – Waiting due to fault of embryo parents – EUR 100/month, Starting 90 days from the date of signing - Surgical intervention required - 300 Euros Message me if interested.
You can read some interviews about surrogate mothers. In fact, their living environment is not even as good as the high-tech surrogacy factory described in the article. It is a place like a cowshed. Little by little, the money didn't even fall into his own hands in the end. When this industry really becomes a chain, if you want to exploit more from the surrogate mother, you must start with the "quality" of the mother. By the way, if you see the so-called "egg donation" small advertisement , must not be deceived, it is very difficult for women to take out eggs, and it is very harmful to the body.
