Survivorship Bias

    An Wu Jiu was stunned.

    "What to expect?"

    Maybe Shen Ti's attribution was too long or too long, or maybe his thoughts were knotted for a while, and he thought he had misunderstood.

    "Good question." Shen Ti smiled and stretched.

    "I'll let you know when I figure it out myself."

    The system started to settle, so An Wujiu couldn't continue to ask.

    He still didn't figure it out.

    "Congratulations to everyone who successfully cleared the customs and became the survivors of the "Abandoned Infant Shelter Center"."

    "There are 90,000 points in the reward pool for this round, and all players except Josh will share the 90,000 points equally, each with 15,000 points.

    Josh, your identity is exposed, there is no point reward for this round, but you successfully escaped from the containment center and completed the resurrection task, you can return to the altar player status, and you are eligible to match the next round of the game. "

    Josh heaved a sigh of relief, and his brown eyes glanced at An Wujiao.

    "Thank you."

    An Wujiu smiled at him and said nothing.

    Everyone's points have been reversed, An Wu Jiu's current total points are 70750.

    I don't know if the money will be enough to treat my mother.

    Thinking of this, An Wujiu fell into trouble again, because he had no idea where his mother was now.

    "After returning to the real world, you will have 24 hours of free time."

     Nanshan put her hands on the cage and said lazily, "Is it 24 hours each time?"

    The system replied: "Not necessarily, sometimes it will be shorter, sometimes it will be longer."

    No regularity.

    "Please obey the rules of the altar and return to the game cabin on time. Otherwise, we will directly [kill] the survivors."

    "Remember, survival is temporary, only death is eternal life."

    Opening his eyes, his vision gradually changed from blurred to clear, the glass cover isolated the outside world, and the high ceiling was dark, like the night sky.

     Finally woke up from the game cabin.

    An Wujiu took off the breathing mask, took off the nutrition tube connected to his body, and the glass door opened automatically.

    "See you next time." The game cabin greeted him very mechanically.

    An Wujiu helped the cabin out, he was still wearing the black T-shirt, and immediately saw Shen Ti.

    "Long time no see." Shen Ti waved to him.

    I saw you just now.

    An Wujiu stepped on the ground with one foot, his legs were a little soft after not moving for a long time, he almost knelt down, but one hand stretched out, grabbed his forearm and picked him up.

    "You're too soft."

    It was very close, An Wu Jiu could even feel the warm breath of Shen Ti when he was joking.

    It was normal before, no matter how close Shen Ti got, I don't know why, but now something is wrong.

    My heart is beating fast and fast.

    An Wujiu broke away from his half embrace, said "thank you", and looked to the other side.

    Zhong Yirou and Wu You also came out safely, An Wu Jiu's half-hanging heart fell.

    "You care so much about them?" Shen Ti's subtext was beyond words.

    An Wujiu pretended not to hear, watching Zhong Yirou stretch out her arms and relax like a cat.

    "Finally out." Zhong Yirou smiled brightly, "I feel that this time I was carried away without fault."

    Wu You put both hands in the sweater and whispered, "Don't think, it is."

    "That's because people always faint. This setting makes me weak..."

    While they were talking, they heard the holy sound of another game cabin opening not far away.

    Unfortunately, it was Yang Erci.

    The other party also looked towards this side, Zhong Yirou waved her hand actively, "Beautiful sister, hello, thank you for taking care of me."

    Yang Erci's expression changed.

    "No."

    They left together, and Wu You looked back.

    Shen Ti teased him, "You shouldn't be looking for your Taoist brother, right?"

    Wu You replied angrily: "I'm looking for your father."

    Yang Erci has a spacious and advanced aircraft, which makes Wu You's eyes glow.

    Zhong Yirou sighed: "You shouldn't come to the altar to die at all with the conditions of a young lady like you."

    "I have a reason to come." Yang Erci didn't say anything, and they didn't ask.

    Yang Erci invited them to leave together, so everyone did not refuse and sat in, Shen Ti and An Wujiu were in the last row, although the fuselage was not small, their long legs were still Some have nowhere to put them, especially Shen Ti, his feet are stretched between An Wu Jiu's legs.

    “Can’t you sit? Should I go to the front?” An Wujiu said.

    "No." Shen Ti quickly rejected, "It's good, just squeeze to warm up."

    But isn't it summer?

    After startup, the artificial intelligence of the aircraft broadcasts the temperature and weather of the day, and the road map is also displayed in front of the windshield, but it is only 3D.

    "Welcome back."

    Shen Ti thought of something and imitated, "Hello Xiaoyou."

    Wu You opened his mouth, "You're sorry."

    "You two are really," Zhong Yirou shook her head, "I don't even know who the child is."

    Yang Erci seemed very silent on the road, just made a few words when Zhong Yirou talked about the purpose of An Wujiu entering the altar.

    "You said your mother wasn't found at St. Georgia Hospital?"

    "Hmm. I remember she was there, but there was no information about her when I checked."

    Yang Erci glanced at the rearview mirror.

    "Generally speaking, it may be transferred to a hospital. St. Georgia is not affordable for ordinary people, and beds are in short supply. This kind of private hospital has a complicated network, and those who have connections can go directly in and squeeze out. Other people's seats, like you, have no one in the family to take care of, and your mother's seat is 80% squeezed out."

    She seems to know these things very well, An Wujiu thinks, she has admitted that she is a researcher, she should not work in a hospital, she is more likely to be the largest shareholder of St. Georgia - Martell Biotechnology Company .

    "Did you work in Martor before?" An Wujiu asked directly.

    Yang Erci was silent for a while, and the aircraft drove to the end of the road.

    "No." She denies.

    "I'm at Chauvin, Martell is one of Chauvin's subsidiaries."

    It turned out to be Chauvin stronger than Martol.

    This is the largest biotechnology company in the United States and even in the world. The huge business empire almost monopolizes the world's cutting-edge technology and scientific and technological resources.

    After a while, she added, "But now I've lost all access to Chauvin's company, in other words, I can't get in at all, I'm completely blocked. If I'm still inside, maybe You can use my authority to help you find it, but you may not be able to find it."

    "Will I be blocked after I leave?" Zhong Yirou tutted a few times, "The evil capitalism."

    “It’s okay.” An Wujiu accepted it calmly, he knew it wouldn’t be that easy.

    "Where is your home?" Yang Erci asked.

    She didn't refer clearly, so Zhong Yirou had to ask again, "Who are you talking about?"

    Yang Erci glanced at her from the rearview mirror this time.

    "You."

    "Me?" Zhong Yirou smiled, "You don't need to take me home, I'm going to pick up my custom-made cheongsam! It's also in the city center, in the city center, you can take me for a while."

    "Okay." Yang Erci agreed.

    Wu You didn't say a word, but she thought, don't I have a home?

    Are the three of us homeless?

    Where is this going?

    But he didn't ask the last word.

      , Suddenly it started to rain, the color of the rain was gray, covering the entire bizarre world with a huge glass cover.

    Every person, every gigantic building, has become a specimen preserved in glassware, over the years, lifeless.

    In the end, Yang Erci put Zhong Yirou down. At the place where she took the cheongsam, Wu You happened to see a new second-hand market there, so she also asked herself to come down, and was dragged by Zhong Yirou.

    "I just need a younger brother to help me carry my bag."

    Wu You: "…"

    When the two left, Yang Erci said, "I have another way."

    An Wujiu raised his eyebrows, "You said."

    "I know a man who used to be a Chauvin employee just like me, but he is in the marketing department and has more connections than me. After he left, he did a lot of illegitimate side jobs, One of them is reselling medical equipment, and he has the network resources of hospitals on the entire east coast, so he can try it.”

    After finishing speaking, An Wu Jiu's game panel beeped, it was the friend invitation of the same player from Yang Erci.

    After passing, Yang Erci sent an electronic business card.

    It was a Mexican-born man with a bright pink afro, a gold chain around his neck, and a fierce look on his face. His name was Gabriel.

    There is also an address line at the bottom of the business card.

    "You can try to find him, but he's a tough guy."

    Shen Ti smiled, "Isn't it a bridge like 'find him and report my name'?"

    The rearview mirror reflected Yang Erci's face, she raised her eyebrows, "I don't have a good relationship with him, call my name, and it is possible to be kicked out in the next second. "

    “I’ll think of a way.” An Wujiu thanked her.

    Although Yang Erci has a cold face and speaks coldly, she is actually kinder than An Wujiu imagined, and she is also a fairly upright person.

    "I put you here." Yang Erci said, "I still have a little trouble to deal with."

    An Wujiu thanked him. The aircraft found a legal place to land and put the two people down.

    An Wugui originally thought that Shen Ti would not follow him anymore, after all, he only had 24 hours of free time, but Shen Ti never left.

    "You have nothing else to do?"

    Shen Ti shook his head, "Didn't I say I was homeless?"

    "Or do you want me to go?"

    An Wujiu thought about it, but still kept him. It's not because he thinks Shen Ti can help, but because he's not used to it.

    "Then let's go."

    The saturated blue and red neons are reflected alternately, and even the marijuana wrapping paper on the road is illuminated colorfully.

    But Shen Ti felt that it was very pleasant to hear An Wujiu say "we" with only the two of them left.

    According to the location on the business card, they walked for more than ten minutes. Finally, the two walked through the bustling city and found this place behind a remote block.

    "Olivier 78, this is it."

    But it was different from what they imagined. The gate of this place was closed, and it was dark all around. It looked lifeless, unlike the previous red light district, which was lively and lively.

    There is a dilapidated doorbell on the upper right corner of the gate, An Wujiu tried to ring it, but a window beside the gate suddenly opened, saying it was a window, more like the one in the prison The steel plate visited can be pulled up and down at any time.

    Half of her face was exposed inside. It was a short-headed woman with a pointed chin and a melon face. She was painting her nails with black lipstick.

    Book?

    An Wujiu didn't know what she was talking about.

    I found that the two didn't speak, and the woman was too lazy to deal with it, "We can't come in without a reservation, no, right? Those two please come back."

    As she spoke, she was about to lower the window.

    “We want to find someone.” An Wujiu said.

    The other party didn't respond at all, and the window was half down.

    There is no room for negotiation.

    "Hey, wait a minute." Shen Ti leaned forward and put one hand on the edge of the window, "Beauty, what's your name?"

    The window was lifted up again, the woman glanced at it, and glanced at Shen Ti's face.

    What a pretty face.

    "Lucy." She replied with a smile, but she quickly blocked the road again, "Handsome guy, even if you get close to me, I can't let you in, it's a rule. "

    "I understand, I understand." Shen Ti said with a smile, "But we don't want to go in and play, we have business."

    "Business?" Lucy smiled, "Everyone who comes here is doing business. Tell me, what business do you have."

    An Wujiu turned his face to look at him, only to see Shen Ti, his face was not blushing, he straightened his collar, then grabbed An Wujiu's shoulders and looked at the person in the small window. The woman gave a charming smile.

    "We are both here to apply."

    Applying? ?

    "Are you sure?"

    "Of course." Shen Ti smiled, the earrings of the red coral swayed, "Why, the beauty doesn't like the two of us? Is it because the qualifications do not meet your requirements? ."

    "That's not it." Lucy also smiled and put down the nail polish brush in his hand, "I just haven't seen such a handsome guy in a long time, I feel a little strange, these days Is it so difficult?"

    The more An Wujiu listens, the more wrong he feels.

    Shen Ti was like a duck to water, a beautiful woman, "Your hands are so beautiful." He reached out and grabbed Lucy's wrist, "Red nail polish looks best."

    "Yeah, it took me a long time to find such a right red." Lucy also began to appreciate himself, staring at his fingers for a while, then looked at the two of them, "So that's it , I'll ask our recruiter to come over and let him take a look. I'm just a small front desk, and I can't be the master."

    "No problem." Shen Ti shrugged.

    Lucy sent a voice message to a person, not long after, a tall and thin middle-aged man came out, looked out of the window with his head lowered, his cloudy brown eyes rolled, staring at two people.

    "You are here to apply?" the man asked, "Where did you see the job posting?"

    Shen Ti smiled and said in a natural tone, "Oh, Gabriel asked us to come, you know, the boss has spoken, of course we came over."

    He leaned over, covered his mouth with one hand, and said in a low voice, "We came from the best club in the city, to show face for acquaintances."

    An Wujiu really admires his ability to lie and how well he can do it.

    The man inside was suspicious and made a call, but the other party did not answer.

    "You still expect him to answer your phone? Busy people can't tell what they are doing now, but don't ruin their good deeds." Lucy laughed at the man and painted his pinky nail polish .

    The man opened the door, "Come in first."

    Nevertheless, he asked suspiciously, "Are you sure Gabriel hired you here?"

    "It's him." Shen Ti's face was relaxed and sure, and his calm temperament was unbelievable.

    Shen Ti was so high that it was hard not to feel oppressive, but the other party knew very well that this kind of thing was very suitable for rich people now.

    The tall and thin middle-aged man rolled his eyes and stared at An Wujiu.

    He was drenched in the rain in front of him, wet hair stuck to his cheeks, a face that was beautiful in the night.

    Really beautiful.

    Although the expression is not at all attractive, this kind of feeling with a little resistance and struggle is more suitable. Such a white skin, like a porcelain man, the tattoos on his body are just right, and the long hair like silk, he may be very energetic on the bed.

    It doesn't look like a hook, and it's hooked everywhere.

    Shen Ti noticed his eyes, the smile in his eyes gradually faded, but the corners of his mouth were still raised without emotion, staring at the undisguised covetousness on the other's face.

    The man stared at An Wujiu and finally confirmed it, "Are you sure it's Gabriel? He is 100% straight."

    "I'm not only good looking, but I'm also good at work."

    --------------------

    The author has something to say:

    An Wujiu: I can't believe a word of what this person said.

    Shen Ti: Who says you can't believe it? The last sentence is true, if it is fake, you can try it for free!
