Survivorship Bias

Chapter 75: Misunderstanding

Views:

This sentence is not An Wujiu's sudden overflow of kindness, but a serious thought.

Now that he has decided to live a good life and try his best to understand what happened here in the limited time, then he must at least have enough allies.

He is clear about Yang Erci's ability. Even if Yang Erci is not from the same time and space standing in front of them now, the deviation in her ability will not be too big, and it is best to be able to join in.

The only thing she is worried about now is another [Zhong Yirou] who is polluted. If she is worried, she probably won't cooperate with them.

"Together?" Yang Erci turned around, "What are you going to do?"

"Stay alive." An Wujiu said directly, "We still have to go to Chauvin, you want to find your father, I want to find my sister, the purpose is the same, there is no conflict of interest between us, on the contrary, You and our previous companions can be said to be the same person, but they exist in different time and space, and we don't want anything to happen to you."

Hearing this, Yang Erci had to admit that she was indeed moved. These words were all purposeful, but also very sincere.

She turned around and raised her eyes peacefully, "I can't leave her."

Shen Ti suddenly raised a hand, "Ah, about this, I can try."

"Try?" Zhong Yirou turned to look at Shen Ti suspiciously.

When he said try, he actually wanted to assimilate the polluted [Zhong Yirou] into a high-level pollutant similar to Wu You, able to communicate.

The polluted [Zhong Yirou] was right in front of their eyes. She was not in a good condition, and she was still in a coma under the influence of drugs. What she ate was not human, style, and she was just drinking poison to quench her thirst.

Shen Ti squatted in front of her without saying a word.

"Hey, are you really good at it?" Zhong Yirou expressed doubts, "How sure are you?"

"I don't know." Shen Ti replied casually.

He is indeed not very sure. It may be a coincidence that Wu You can restore his humanity, or it may be because of Wu You's own characteristics and perseverance as a human being.

So far, he doesn't know to what extent his strength has recovered.

Shen Ti tried to touch the polluted [Zhong Yirou] in front of him, and when his fingers touched her tentacles, Shen Ti suddenly felt a force of resistance, gradually changing from weak to strong, like repelling magnetic force, Trying to eject Shen Ti out.

He underestimated this power, it turned out to be stronger than he imagined.

Suddenly, Shen Ti thought of the talisman in the car when he found Nan Shan and Wu You.

Could it be that Nanshan was able to easily connect to Wu You in the first place

Did Nanshan protect Wu You's mind with a spell

Shen Ti squatted there alone, tilting his head to the left and right at the pollutant [Zhong Yirou], without saying a word, like a puppy.

Just when Zhong Yirou was about to speak, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves, muttered "I don't believe it yet", and grabbed the tentacle.

Miraculously, the mucus on the tentacles obviously touched Shen Ti, but it seemed that an invisible film appeared on Shen Ti's palm while shaking hands, resisting corrosion.

This time Shen Ti seriously felt the hidden power in his body and tried to regulate it.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented silence, as if he had fallen into the deep sea, in a vacuum, there was no sound around him.

Everything seemed to be still, only the energy surging in his body remained.

Like an explosion, the evil force trying to spread out of the pollutant's body was defeated in an instant, and it was not Shen Ti's opponent at all.

Even if he is only a thousandth awakened now.

[Zhong Yirou] was bounced away violently, as if there was a powerful airflow invisible, her countless tentacles bounced up and then slowly fell down.

[Yang Erci] walked over, half-kneeled in front of her, and looked at Shen Ti.

Shen Ti opened his eyes calmly, looked at the pollutants in front of him, and tried to communicate with her.

"Can you hear my voice? Zhong Yirou."

Several seconds passed.

Just when Shen Ti thought he had failed, a weak voice came from his mind.

[Who are you? ]

Shen Ti raised the corner of his mouth, "I'm a super handsome guy you don't know."

The other Zhong Yirou behind him covered his face with one hand, he really couldn't see it.

"Did you hear her?" [Yang Erci] hurriedly asked Shen Ti, "Can I talk to her?"

Shen Ti turned his face away, shook his head casually and mercilessly at her, "No."

He pointed to Wu You behind him, "Like him, you can only hear me and Wu Jiu talking, you can't communicate."

[Yang Erci] frowned, just by intuition, she knew that these two people would not be ordinary people.

But she didn't expect that they could communicate with pollutants. What kind of identity would this be

"At least she won't go crazy now." Zhong Yirou comforted, "If you have anything to say, let them convey it to her."

[Yang Erci] shook his head.

For a moment, she really didn't know what to say to her, did she forcefully keep her for her own selfish desire? Or tell her that she has become a monster.

She is such a beautiful girl.

Seeing that [Yang Erci] was silent, Shen Ti looked back at An Wujiu.

An Wujiu simplified and beautified the general process, and told [Zhong Yirou].

He could see that it took her a long time to accept the fact that she was polluted.

[I'm now... very ugly. ]

An Wujiu denied her thoughts, "No, you still have a chance to change back to the way you were before, as long as you survive. And..."

His tone was calm but firm.

""You are strong now and can protect Yang Erci. ""

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

These words hit [Zhong Yirou]'s heart, and she finally found a reason to live on.

[good. ]

Shen Ti stood up, shook his arms, turned his face and asked [Yang Erci], "How much time do you have?"

Yang Erci lowered his head and opened the inside of his wrist, "About an hour."

Shen Ti snapped his fingers, "Let's go for some more time first."

They left the supermarket and happened to encounter several pollutants when they came out. These pollutants are at least four meters high and look like people, but their skin is a strange grayish white, and even their facial features are covered, their eyes cannot be seen, and their mouths are also closed.

"It feels a bit like... a Wendigo." Zhong Yirou looked at these monsters and clenched the gun in his hand.

Shen Ti didn't know much about human myths and legends, so while shooting, he asked curiously, "What is that?"

Zhong Yirou also raised his gun, "A kind of man-eating monster in North American legends, the description is similar to them."

While the two were chatting, [Yang Erci] had already killed everyone, and at the moment of reloading, one of the monsters pounced on her back.

"Er Ci be careful!"

[Yang Erci] turned around suddenly, and at the same time drew out the knife on his body, and was about to stab the opponent, but in the next second, the guy was dragged down, roaring and fell to the ground hard.

It was [Zhong Yirou] who wrapped his tentacles around the opponent's feet and dragged away the pollutants.

[Yang Erci] and the polluted [Zhong Yirou] looked at each other in the air. Although the other party couldn't hear her, he really took the initiative to stand up to protect her.

[Yang Erci] had mixed feelings, smiled at her, and continued to fight.

There are more and more humanoid monsters, and the cars surrounding them, if they are only humans, their odds against this kind of group attack are very low, and the guns can't cope with so many close-range attacks.

But thanks to the mutated Wu You and [Zhong Yirou], their combat strength has been greatly enhanced, and they have room to retreat.

"Are there any other entrances and exits to the supermarket?" An Wujiu asked urgently.

"There is one," [Yang Erci] said to them, "go in first! Go through the back door of the warehouse!"

"good!"

Wu You could hear An Wujiu's voice.

[After I come, you go first. ]

Wu You resisted their attack outside, giving the rest of the people a chance to escape back to the supermarket, but the number of those monsters is huge, and many of them have already tried to get through the rolling shutters and enter the supermarket. Wu You had no choice but to keep sweeping with his tentacles until the last person also entered it.

Unable to see the figure of any companion, Wu You stretched out his tentacles and dragged the rolling gate down until it was completely closed.

He could still hear An Wujiu's voice asking him if he came in.

[I'm not going in. ]

"What?"

[I walk from above. ]

After finishing speaking, Wu You directly stretched out his tentacles to the roof of the supermarket, wrapped them around the billboard on the top, jumped up, and climbed directly onto the roof.

Behind him was a turbulent, black cloud of pollutants. Wu You moved quickly, crossed the roof, came to the edge of the roof, and jumped.

Just right, when they arrived at the back door, Wu You also successfully returned to the team.

They found a delivery truck, but they couldn't fit so many people, so they had to sit in the back cargo compartment with the biggest Wu You and [Zhong Yirou], while the rest were in front.

Due to the battle against pollutants, [Yang Erci] and Zhong Yirou's time has increased a lot, but their sanity points have been greatly reduced. [Yang Erci] looked at Shen Ti and An Wujiu, and found that although they were injured and their health points had decreased, their sanity points almost no change at all.

"Why are you so mentally stable?" she asked.

This inquisitive personality is indeed consistent, but An Wujiu thinks it's too complicated to explain.

"It's a long story, let's explain it when we have a chance." He started the car, and the navigation on the car was damaged, so he asked [Yang Erci], "You know where Chauvin is, right?"

"I'll take you there," she said.

Along the way, many scattered pollutants attacked their car, but Shen Ti dealt with them.

Zhong Yirou still kept repeating the scene of Yang Erci's death in his mind, and after seeing [Yang Erci] beside him, his sanity value dropped a lot, and this situation became more and more serious.

In my mind, the masked man kept appearing, asking her for the email.

Yes, mail.

She asked [Yang Erci], "Do you have an important email."

This sentence reminded An Wujiu, seeing that Yang Erci didn't say it directly, he added, "It should be from your father."

"My father?" [Yang Erci] frowned, "He never contacted me at all."

"Really?" Shen Ti thought for a while, "By the way, did you just say that your father is still alive?"

"Yes, I can confirm that."

But in the world they live in, Yang Erci's father is dead.

An Wujiu roughly talked about the mail, including Yang Ce's death and Yang Erci's death.

[Yang Erci] felt very strange after hearing this, "Did he send his email before? I haven't received it, not even one."

Speaking of time, what did Zhong Yirou think of, "No, it wasn't before, it was last night, before the power outage."

She told the crowd, "She mentioned it when she came out of the studio, and said that it was good to have a backup of the email in advance..."

Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, "That's strange."

It is impossible for a dead person to come out and send an email, and it is so important that it is impossible to send it at a fixed time in advance.

An Wujiu said indifferently: "Maybe it's time and space intertwined."

He looked at [Yang Erci], "Your father accidentally sent the email to her, the other Yang Erci."
