Survivorship Bias - Chapter 133

    The best news so far is that Shen Ti is still there, and they have met.

    “Leave here first.” Shen Ti walked through the chaotic crowd with An Wu Jiu.

    On the way, An Wujiu grabbed his wrist and checked Shen Ti’s remaining time.

    “It’s okay…”

    Shen Ti heard him muttering to himself, “What’s ok?”

    “Nothing.”

    The crowd was crowded, An Wujiu’s hand was clenched by Shen Ti, they were running and fleeing at the moment, it was not suitable for them to hold hands, so he said to Shen Ti “you can let go”.

    But Shen Ti insisted, “You just disappeared once.”

    This sentence made An Wu Jiao’s turbulent heart stagnate a little.

    Cannot disappear a second time.

    So far, he still doesn’t have the sense of reality that he has entered the game, the altar penetrates the barrier and appears directly in reality, so many people die in front of An Wujiao, the death is tragic, making He felt extremely dazed.

    It was not until Shen Ti was found that the heart floating in danger was settled.

    An Wujiu raised his head to check the sanity value on top of Shen Ti’s head, and found that the parameter bar has hardly changed, it is still full.

    Is it because the monsters here are essentially his kind?

    While running, he looked at his sanity again in a panic, there was a decrease, but not much, about 5%.

    The shrine should not only be damaged by these pollutants to damage their spiritual power, perhaps there is something more terrible that will reduce the sanity of all of them.

    They ran across a block, avoiding a low building that was collapsing, An Wujiu asked Shen Ti what happened before the game started, “I came out of Lilith’s building, You and Gabriel are gone. Did you spawn somewhere else?”

    “Yes, I was going to get out of the elevator, but as soon as I walked out, I went to the outside of a clinic, just like crossing. It’s nearby.” Shen Ti looked at him, “I thought Gabriel and You are together.”

    “Not here.” An Wujiu frowned, worried about Gabriel’s current situation, as well as other companions and Lilith, “We’d better find a better means of transportation.”

    “Find a weapon first.” Shen Ti said.

    They came to a new street, which is less prosperous, with relatively few people and almost no pollutants on the street.

    “I bought the gun in front of me.” Shen Ti walked over with An Wujiu.

    Suddenly, the silent rows of large screens on the street flickered twice at the same time, and after a while of white screen, the rabbit appeared again.

    “Good evening my friends, how are you feeling now? Are you still alive?” Rabbit’s expression and tone were exaggerated, “Is it the first time you feel the preciousness of life?”

    “But…” Rabbit put his hands on his hips, “I think you haven’t understood the essence of this game.”

    He raised a hand and pointed to his wrist, “Seeing the time on your wrists, right? It’s ticking, ticking…don’t know how to zero What terrible things will happen next?”

    “Now, I’m going to announce a new rule to you.” The rabbit smiled and raised both arms high, “

    The time each of you has is an opportunity to increase! There are two methods: 1. Kill the polluters in front of you. Each polluter will have a corresponding time point marked on its body. As long as you kill them, you can get the corresponding time, but one thing should be careful, time Polluters with more points are more dangerous, be careful when you kill them, you will become a polluter yourself! “

    After the rabbit finished speaking, he giggled again, “I thought about it, this method of obtaining time is indeed a bit difficult, so I am merciful and provide you with a new method , that is murder!”

    An Wujiu frowned.

    Murder…

    “Each of you has time, as long as you kill anyone, you can directly inherit his time, not to mention that looking directly at humans will not reduce your Sanity, because you are the same kind.”

    The rabbit laughed, “Is this method awesome? Hahahahaha!”

    Shen Ti’s expression was a little impatient, “It’s troublesome now.”

    “Yeah, there are more opponents.” An Wujiu actually expected that if he didn’t provoke the relationship between the players, it would not be a holy altar.

    “Fortunately, I have long thought of buying weapons.”

    Shen Ti took him to the place where he bought the gun before. It was a vending machine at an intersection. It was no different from other vending machines. It was much bigger and taller. Not the same, it specializes in selling firearms and equipment.

    “Now even the player system of the altar cannot be opened, and it is very troublesome to exchange things.” Standing in front of the vending machine, Shen Ti clicked to select the gun to buy, “We may have to wait a while. Go get some medicine and food.”

    An Wujiu watched the surroundings vigilantly, but did not find any pollutants, he saw a neon sign not far away, “There seems to be a supermarket in front.”

    “Okay.” Shen Ti set all the parameters and paid a lot of money with points.

    When I looked back, I saw the consumption amount, and I couldn’t help asking, “How much did you buy?”

    “Not much, but everything is useful.”

    The vending machine began to vibrate slightly, and there were several landing sounds in the drawer-shaped shipping compartment on the bottom layer. When there was no sound, the shipping compartment automatically popped up, Shen Ti bent down, and from the inside Take out an assault rifle and a light sniper rifle in the other hand.

    “You use this.” Shen Ti checked the ammunition, handed the assault rifle to An Wu Jiu, and hung the sniper rifle behind his back.

    An Wujiu took the gun, always feeling weird.

    It’s a little quieter than before.

    But no matter how he observed, there was indeed no movement around, so he had to withdraw his eyes and look at the shipping box.

    “And this knife, called Zhu Yeqing.”

    Shen Ti took out the last weapon inside, it was a turquoise lancet, narrow, long and slightly curved, slightly tapered at the end, the hilt had a gorgeous red luster, and the blade was here Under the moonlight, there was a faint green brilliance, and it seemed to be covered with tiny scales, extending upwards, with a red dot embedded in the tip.

    Like snake eyes.

    “This is for you, I saw it at a glance.” He handed over the knife, “Your knife is the best, and a beautiful woman with a knife.”

     Bamboo Leaf Green.

    It’s really the name of a viper.

    “What beauty? Femme beauty?”

    An Wujiu took the knife and suddenly felt that something was grabbing his ankle.

    When I lowered my head, it turned out to be a hand!

      . It is impossible to tell whether this “person” was swallowed up by the vending machine, or whether the vending machine was mixed with people.

    The liquid metal is still spreading, and it will soon spread to the wrist of the prosthetic body. An Wu Jiu pulled the knife and cut off the hand mercilessly, and retreated together with Shen Ti.

    It turns out that the pollutant on this street is this vending machine!

    The pollutants whose hands were cut off were furious, let out a huge roar, and burned in an instant, and the huge burning objects rose from the ground and rushed towards them.

    A series of numbers are displayed on the top of his head, which is the time that can be obtained by defeating him, but now the numbers are shaking in the flames, An Wujiu can’t see it clearly.

    “Go!”

    Shen Ti retreated and fired, but perhaps because of the fusion of this pollutant and the metal-cased vending machine, it became extremely hard and fire suppression became extremely difficult.

    No.

    The monster covered in flames suddenly rushed towards them.

    At this moment, there was a bang—

    A huge truck rushed out from the other end of the intersection and slammed into the giant monster in front of her at great speed.

    The flaming pollutants were knocked out by the huge impact force and flew out more than ten meters, and fell heavily to the ground.

    The door of the truck opened, and Wu You was sitting in the driver’s seat.

     “Brother Wu blame, come up!”

    An Wujiu was a little surprised, he and Shen Ti got into the car before the monster came over again.

    “I finally found you.” Nan Shan was sitting in the co-pilot, he saw the weapons on the two of them, “Do you have guns?”

    “I just got it.” Shen Ti breathed a sigh of relief, “This monster has a conscience and didn’t go berserk before we picked up the goods.” He just finished speaking, under the action of inertia, his whole body Go hard to the right.

    It is Wu You who is turning the direction, “I don’t care about this pollutant?”

    “Don’t worry about it, let’s go first.” An Wujiu looked out the car window and felt that Wu You was not driving very steadily, so he turned to look at him.

    At this time, An Wujiu realized that Wu You’s Sanity has been reduced by a quarter!

    “Wait!” He looked back, the pollutant just didn’t catch up.

    “What’s wrong?”

     “Quickly replace the person.” An Wujiu said to Wu You, “I’ll drive.”

    “I’ll do it,” Nan Shan offered, “I’m better off, don’t get off.”

    The stability of Nanshan’s sanity is much higher than Wu You’s. After passing the monster just now, his sanity only decreased a little, which probably has something to do with his physique and Taoist duties.

    An Wujiu made a comparison, if you use the speed of sanity consumption to judge a person’s mental stability, Wu You is currently relatively poor, he is similar to Nanshan, and he is slightly taller.

    Shen Ti is the most stable. After so many pollutants, his Sanity value hardly decreases.

    Nan Shan explained to An Wujiu and Shen Ti the information they currently have, at the moment when the whole city was powered off, he who was originally in Yang Erci’s apartment suddenly appeared downstairs, while Wu You They were trapped in the elevator. After they met each other in the crowd, they saw Yang Erci and Zhong Yirou, but they were separated from the fleeing crowd because of a pollutant that was 60 stories high.

    “I only saw that they fled to the southwest. It is not clear where they are now.”

    An Wujiu nodded, “Then let’s drive in that direction first and see if we can find them along the way.”

    Shen Ti stared out the window, “If they want to escape, they must escape to a safer place with fewer people, and it can’t be a building that is too high.”

    Leaving the environment just now, Wu You’s sanity rose a little, he suddenly thought, “So there is indeed a safer place in that direction.”

    “What?” Nan Shan asked.

    “You drive, I’ll guide you.” Wu You told them, “It’s a whole factory, it’s all bungalows without high-rise buildings, and there are very few people, because it’s been abandoned for a long time, said It’s not far from Sister Rou’s home, if they really run to the southwest, they are likely to go there.”

    With a little look, everyone has a certain degree of survival.

    An Wujiu and Shen Ti are responsible for investigating the road conditions to prevent the unexpected situation from happening just now.

    Although there are some minor disturbances at present, at least they have gathered four people, which is great news, even if there are more dangerous things happening, now it is better than fighting alone powerful.

    As he was thinking, a force attracted him to raise his head and look at the night sky. There was not a single star in the night, and the double moon swept into the sky. The strange thing was, An Wu Jiu took a closer look, and there were countless cracks in the sky.

    He patted Shen Ti’s hand, “Look at the sky.”

    “You mean two moons? I know.” Shen Ti said so, but still looked up.

    “No.”

    Shen Ti also paused, he understood what An Wujiu meant.

    “This is… the same as the previous round.”

    An Wujiu also thought of the sacrifice scene in the last round of the game, “In that blood moon sacrifice copy, Zhou Yijue got a tinder from Xue Nu’s hand, at that time she said that as long as Use this fire to ignite the three pillars, and there will be a miracle of resurrection of the dead, but at least in the last round of the game, no one was resurrected, and those pillars flew into the sky and smashed the sky.”

    Nan Shan also felt wrong, “So the cracks that appeared in the last round still exist in this round.”

    “And deeper.” Shen Ti looked at the crack in the sky.

    Wu You felt a headache, he put his hand against his temple, “I can’t tell whether this is the reality or the game now, it feels like the altar has invaded from the game to the reality, but why is this? Maybe?”

    The more impossible something is, the more likely it is to happen.

    On the way to the abandoned factory, they encountered three pollutants, a slime monster like An Wujiu encountered alone, and a mutant pollution body that fused other substances like the one just now . The two fought with them in the car, and then they escaped and drove forward smoothly.

    An Wujiu was a little worried about this fusion-mutated contaminant, not knowing if there would be further mutations in the future.

    “Fortunately you have weapons, otherwise we will definitely not be able to get there.” Nan Shan drove the car and saw An Wu Jiu’s arm stained with the corrosive mucus of the polluted body in the rearview mirror , “Are you okay? There seems to be water in the car, rinse the wound first!”

    The co-pilot Wu You turned around and handed them water, An Wujiu saw that the sanity value on his head decreased a little.

    “Wu You, there will be a tainted body in a while, don’t look at it.”

    Wu You nodded and reached out his hand calmly, intending to sprinkle water on An Wujiu’s arm.

    The car shook a little, Shen Ti took the water from his hand, “I’ll come.”

    An Wujiu looked at Shen Ti, his brows were furrowed and he looked very uncomfortable.

    “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt.” He comforted Shen Ti.

    Shen Ti did not speak, and drenched the water on his arm. Watered, the caustic slime is diluted and the potency is greatly reduced.

    Even so, An Wujiu’s arm was still corroded alive, leaving a hole of flesh and blood, and the silver bones in the arm were faintly visible.

    “Don’t go out for a while, leave it to me.” Shen Ti took off his coat and tore off a piece of fabric to wrap An Wujiu.

    “No, you can’t handle it alone.”

    “Why not? Do you still want to lose a hand?”

    The two were deadlocked, Nan Shan looked in the rearview mirror, “It’s alright, it’s almost there.”

    An Wujiu wanted to look out the window, it was dark here, only the places illuminated by the headlights could barely be seen clearly, there were indeed some factory buildings in front of them, the doors were closed, but tattered Rotten, not much defense.

    “Hurry up everyone!”

    Nanshan didn’t say a word, and directly crashed into the car with people and the car, the speed was too fast, Wu You almost thought he was going to take them to death, but fortunately Nanshan’s driving skills are good, in front of the factory Can brake, the distance is very dangerous.

    Several people arrived without any risk, Wu You took out three flashlights from the car, he and Nan Shan shared one, and the remaining two were shared among An Wujiu and Shen Ti.

    “Do you think they are here?” Nan Shan asked Wu You.

    Because they only had a flashlight, they were forced to get close. Wu You shook his head and said he didn’t know, and then called out Zhong Yirou’s name.

    No response at this time.

    This place is very quiet, so quiet that you can hear echoes, it doesn’t look like a too dangerous place, but with the lessons learned just now, An Wuguo still dare not relax.

    “Go ahead and see what’s available here, and we won’t split up.”

    The lock of the gate here is rusted and not really locked because of the abandonment. The four of them entered from the outside, and the space inside was bigger than expected, but it was too dark to see clearly. They walked inside again, the flashlights wandered and in the darkness, barely able to see some consoles, as well as abandoned tools and huge mixing buckets.

    It’s too quiet here, An Wujiu’s intuition is disturbing, he always feels uneasy, he looked down at his wrist, there are less than 3 minutes left, this is still killing monsters. result of time.

    He asked Wu You and Nan Shan, “Do you have more time?”

    “I have 34 minutes left.” Nan Shan said.

    Wu You said: “I still have 56 minutes.”

    An Wujiu nodded, feeling a little relieved. Only he has the least time here. If it is really a countdown, at least they can get a little longer.

    It was so dark that they couldn’t find anything to work with, and they didn’t see a single figure.

    “We may not be able to stay in such a safe place for too long.” Wu You thought of the special rules of this game, “If we can’t kill the pollutants, time will waste a little bit—”

     Before he could finish his words, it suddenly turned into a weird whimper of pain.

    The light of the flashlight flickered.

    With a thud, the flashlight originally in Wu You’s hand suddenly fell to the ground.

    The warm liquid splashed on An Wujiu’s face, it was blood.

    Wu You’s throat was cut from behind—

    This is something they never expected, the attack came too fast!

    Seeing Wu You’s eyes widened in surprise and pain, blood spilling from the front of his neck, An Wujiu seemed to have been stabbed severely.

    He turned back sharply, looking for the sneak attacker in anger.

    In the interlaced flashlights, he saw a masked face, which flashed by.

    It was him, he killed Wu You…

    It’s too late to think, An Wujiu can’t think too much, at this moment the flames of revenge engulfed him, he hurried to catch up, the light reflected on the long blue-green sword, with the wind of the sword Swing hard.

    The moment the blade touches the mask.

    The numbers on his wrist were cleared.

    [00:00:00]

    Innumerable strange tentacles suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was surrounded like this, as if trapped in a cocoon. Those tentacles stabbed at him fiercely, like swift and violent snakes, stabbing at his arms, legs, chest, throat, and eyeballs with the force of breaking bamboo!

    Every part of his body was stabbed and torn into countless pieces of flesh and blood!

    It’s over…

    An Wujiu woke up suddenly, standing there breathing heavily.

    He seemed to fall from one huge vortex to another.

    Just now, just now, he was torn apart alive by countless tentacles and ended his life in great pain.

    An Wu Jiao, who opened his eyes, was completely intact, he looked down at his legs, and stood right on the ground.

    And in front of him is Shen Ti who is holding a knife.

    “And this knife, called Zhu Yeqing.”

    “This is for you, I liked it at a glance.” Shen Ti smiled and said the exact same words to him with the exact same expression as just now.

    How could this be…

    Wu You Mingming died just now, in front of him, he almost killed that person.

    But now he is back twenty minutes ago.

    “Your knife works best.”

    An Wu Jiu stared blankly at the blue lancet in his hand.

    “Beauty with a knife.”
