MTL - Survivorship Bias-Chapter 134 Destiny is hard to break

All the actions of Shen Ti in front of him are exactly the same as twenty minutes ago.

An Wu Jiu also took the bamboo leaf green that he handed over directly.

If the situation is exactly the same as the previous cycle, then now...

An Wujiu directly swung the knife down.

A hand that was quickly reaching out was cut off by An Wugui.

And last time, he was holding the ankle by this hand first, and then cut it off from the wrist.

It's the same as last time.

"Go back!"

pounce.

An Wujiu subconsciously looked towards the other intersection.

A truck is coming...

"Brother Wu blame, come up!"

An Wujiu nodded and got into the car with Shen Ti.

In the last round, his arm was corroded by the slime of the pollutant, but after a round of backtracking, the wound on his arm completely disappeared.

This time, the four of them successfully got rid of the pollutants that assimilated the gun vending machine, and all the conversations that happened after getting in the car were exactly the same as what An Wujiu experienced in the previous round.

"I finally found you." Nan Shan looked back at the two of them, "Do you have guns?"

Even after he finished speaking, the movement to the right due to inertia was the same as before.

Wu You turned the steering wheel, "I don't care about this pollutant?"

An Wujiu felt like he was in a dream, he has experienced so many games, even if he encounters a strange and terrifying scene, it does not make him shudder at this moment.

Is he alone in this cycle?

“Brother Wu Jiao?” Wu You didn’t get a response, he glanced in the rearview mirror, wanting to see what happened to An Wu Jiu.

The action of this glance is different from the previous one.

It is precisely because of this sight that the car almost hit the cable pole that was about to fall down—

"Wu You be careful!"

Nan Shan turned sideways and steadied the steering wheel, only then could she escape the catastrophe, otherwise they would all be crushed to death by the fallen cable pole.

"Come on, I'll drive."

As before, Nan Shan and Wu You switched places.

An Wujiu tries to calm himself down and find out why he is stuck in this cycle.

He lowered his head and pulled his right sleeve.

New numbers engraved on the exposed wrist.

12:10:23

Not true.

An Wujiu frowned.

How could the time he held suddenly become so much, from twenty minutes to a full twelve hours!

An Wujiu turned his head and pulled Shen Ti's wrist to see his time.

00:29:43

In the last round, when he met Shen Ti, An Wujiu checked his time, at that time he had 45 minutes left, if he counted the past 16 minutes, yes normal.

An Wujiu raised his head and asked the other two, "Nan Shan, Wu You, how much time is left on your wrists?"

"There's still..." Wu You glanced at his own, "61 minutes."

“I have 49 minutes left.” Nan Shan told An Wujiu.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Ti on the side seemed to have discovered that An Wu Jiu was wrong and held his hand.

An Wujiu was thinking about whether to tell him or not, after all, he still hasn't figured out why this happened.

When Shen Ti looked over, his eyes moved up, and his face suddenly changed.

"What happened to your health? Are you injured?"

Wu You immediately turned around.

An Wujiu was a little confused, he raised his head and looked at the two parameter bars above his head.

The sanity value has hardly changed, but the health value has been reduced by about one-eighth.

"I'm not injured." An Wujiu checked it, indeed, with the experience of the previous round, he deliberately avoided the pollutants from the vending machine, so he didn't have any wounds on his body.

Despite what An Wujiu said, Shen Ti still felt strange, because some weird images vaguely appeared in his mind, An Wujiu's arm was injured, he also lost his temper, took off Put down your coat to wrap him up.

But An Wu Jiao was not injured, it was as if his memory was in confusion.

"How can you lose blood inexplicably?" Wu You couldn't understand, "I didn't do anything."

No.

Not doing nothing.

An Wujiu suddenly realized that he entered the cycle, and this may be the price.

Thinking about it, he denied it again. At present, it is impossible to conclude that this is a cycle, because there are only two times in total, maybe he just backtracked time once.

Yes, look back.

An Wujiu immediately thought of the time card he had drawn before.

However, he felt that it was unlikely to be the role of this card. After all, the rules were written very clearly at that time. The use of this card requires the payment of life points, and players need to voluntarily and actively submit A part of the life value in exchange for the corresponding retrospective time.

But at that time, he was directly torn apart by monsters, and he had no time or subjective consciousness to use this retrospective card.

An Wujiu turned on the system, the altar player system has been damaged at this moment, and many functions were forcibly closed, but fortunately, the easter egg card page is still there.

An Wujiu opened it, just as he thought, the time rewind card was not used.

Why?

"You still have one that you haven't drawn." Shen Ti saw it and said casually, "Why don't you draw?"

"Yes..." An Wu Jiao responded in a trance, and nodded as he said.

But nothing happened.

"Maybe it's broken." An Wujiu tapped again, "No response."

"It's really not interesting." Shen Ti snorted coldly, "It's still so hard to give a reward, now it's better, just swallow it."

He leaned back on the seat, "Try again in a while, the altar seems to have issued an announcement to maintain the system."

"Can't all three?" Wu You asked.

"The first card is timed out, and the second one I have drawn a time rewind card." An Wujiu explained the specific rules to them, but omitted the need to exchange health.

He didn't want to worry these people and prevent him from using the card in a pinch.

"So it is." Wu You nodded, "This card may play a key role at some point."

“Maybe.” An Wujiu said softly.

Nan Shan drove the car silently, thinking of something, she still said, "No fault, you'd better use this card with caution."

An Wujiu looked at him, and suddenly found a pollutant in front of him, he picked up the assault rifle, opened the window, turned to the side, aimed at the fastest speed, and attacked the opponent at the fastest speed.

"Sorry." He retracted his body, sat down, and said to Nan Shan, "Go ahead."

Nan Shan drove the car, trying her best to avoid the pollutants in front, leaving them with weapons to pack.

"What I said may be more metaphysical, and you should only take it as a reference. Things like going back in time seem to be able to salvage and make up for past mistakes, giving you an extra chance to make amends, but..."

He changed his unreliable image and said to An Wujiu with a very serious attitude, "Time is a very complicated and difficult thing to grasp. When you are changing the past, The future in the past has also been changed because of your actions. Whether the new future is what you want, no one knows."

"But I'm not trying to intimidate you with fatalism," Nan Shan chuckled softly, "On the contrary, what my Taoist belief taught me is anti-fatalism and destiny. Destiny is like going all the way. Just like the time before, it is the law of nature and the ultimate law in the universe. Due to fate, the destiny cannot be violated, but it is man-made.”

Wu You originally understood a little, but he was turned around again.

"What are you talking about?"

Become an immortal?"

Nan Shan smiled and said realistically: "This is just a beautiful ideal."

An Wujiu can understand.

Nan Shan is telling him not to act recklessly because he has the ability to look back in time, because there are some destiny that people like him cannot change or shake in their entire lives. But even so, he couldn't fall into negativity, thinking that he couldn't change his fate no matter what.

As long as you find the right way, even if you can't change the time, you may be able to find the ending with the least loss under the trade-off.

"Thank you." He said to Nanshan.

Nan Shan smiled, "Just talk about it, you can listen to it."

They encountered a lot of pollutants on the road, An Wujiu handed the gun to Wu You and asked him to shoot, so that he could spend more time.

As in the previous round, they discussed the whereabouts of Zhong Yirou and Yang Erci, as well as the safe area of ​​the city. Wu You once again proposed to go to the abandoned factory in the southwest.

An Wujiu looked at the sky through the window, the cracks in the night sky were still deep, like floes on the glacier that were about to disintegrate, shattering into pieces.

"We won't go to that factory." An Wujiu's tone changed Wu You's plan.

Wu You was a little surprised, turned to look at An Wujiu, "Aren't you going? There should be no one there."

An Wu Jiu felt a little sad when she saw Wu You's face.

Yes, and a very dangerous person.

In any case, he must save Wu You this time.

"No, let's go to Yirou's house."

Shen Ti nodded, "Okay, she has a single family there, there should be no one, and at least some supplies, we can use her house as a transit station. If the two of them are also If it is initialized to another place, the easiest place to gather is either Yang Erci's house or Yirou's house."

Wu You nodded, "That's good."

He turned around and said to Nan Shan, "You drive, and I will guide you to Sister Rou's house."

Because of the existence of An Wugui, they changed their decision in this cycle. He knew that the masked man was in ambush in the factory at this moment, so he couldn't kill himself no matter what.

The route at the beginning is the same, so the pollutants they encounter on the road are the same. An Wu Jiu also encountered the contaminant that sprayed mucus before, but this time he avoided it by relying on his memory.

He killed the contaminants, leaving the arm intact and not corroded.

"Just ahead, turn left."

The factory is on the right and Yirou's house is on the left.

"Yes, go straight, be careful there are pollutants catching up on the right!"

Wu You stared at the rearview mirror, Shen Ti used a light machine to directly kill the huge monster that was chasing after him.

After some twists and turns, they are finally here. Nan Shan parked the car about 200 meters away from Zhong Yirou's house, leaving some room.

"The house seems to be dark." Wu You took the flashlight from the car and distributed it to everyone as before.

Because of what happened last time, An Wujiu still has lingering fears, he said to Nan Shan and Wu You, "You two stay here, just sit in the driver's seat and the co-pilot, if anything happens Just drive."

Nan Shan did not understand, "Let's go in together, it will be safer with more people."

An Wujiu insisted on his own ideas, "You protect Wu You, Shen Tijin and I will go and see, if everything is normal, I will ask you to come over, and then you will come back."

He wanted to go in alone, but he knew that Shen Ti would not agree.

"That's good." Shen Ti took An Wujiao's shoulders, "I like this group."

"Get in the car." An Wu Jiu looked into Wu You's eyes.

Wu You felt that something was not right in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, he only felt that An Wujiu looked at him with a sad look, which made him unable to bear to oppose his command.

"Good."

Wu You settled down, An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti walked towards Zhong Yirou's house.

The house was indeed dark, and the door seemed to be closed. An Wujiu approached, the smart lock outside was destroyed, but the door seemed to be blocked by a heavy object from the inside.

Is it the pollutants chasing it?

An Wujiu looked around, and indeed found mucus on the ground.

He got up and glanced at Shen Ti, the other party was ready and the bullet was loaded.

"Yirou?"

An Wujiu stood outside the door calling her name, "Are you inside? I'm Wujiao, here we come."

At this time, even if they are here, they are still alive and there is a possibility of being polluted, but An Wujiu cannot give up.

No sound came from inside.

An Wujiu thought about it, but took a few steps back.

"What are you doing?"

"We can only open the door violently."

He kicked the door ruthlessly, and the heavy object inside fell down under his strength, and Shen Ti stepped forward and kicked the door open.

An Wujiu irradiated the surroundings with a flashlight for the first time, the inside was still the same as when they came last time, with containers one by one.

The two walked inside carefully, An Wu Jiu vaguely heard the suppressed sobbing.

They pressed their footsteps and followed the sound, the source of the sound was getting closer and more real, it was the innermost container.

Shen Ti walked over with his gun in hand, and the scene in front of him was completely stunned by the flashlight.

Zhong Yirou knelt on the ground with tears on her face, and in her arms was Yang Erci, who was bleeding into a river.

An Wujiu was also stunned, "How could this happen?"

He couldn't help recalling what Nan Shan said not long ago.

[When the past is changed, the future of the past is also changed. Whether the new future is what you want, no one knows. ]

Is it really changed?

Put away the gun and walked over, half kneeling on the ground to probe Yang Erci's breath.

"She's dead..." Zhong Yirou lowered her head in pain, "I-I didn't save her..."

Shen Ti used a flashlight to check Yang Erci's body, "It was a knife in the chest, it shouldn't be a hand made by pollutants."

At this moment, Zhong Yirou is about to lose her reason and willpower, unable to tell the complete facts.

An Wujiu held her arm, "Yirou, calm down first, you tell us what happened, otherwise Erci may really not come back."

"She will never come back..." Zhong Yirou couldn't tell them how she spent this painful time, wiped the tears from her face with blood-stained hands, tears mixed with blood Together, it made her look even more desperate.

But even so, Zhong Yirou tried her best to tell them what was going to happen in despair.

"Just now... Erci and I rushed back, thinking... we wanted to get some medicine and escape, but on the way back, we met a man who crashed our car, and Erci was Ci has been bruised... He grabbed Er Ci's hair and asked her for something."

An Wujiu frowned and asked, "What?"

"Mail." Zhong Yirou shook her head, "I don't know what kind of mail it was, he kept hitting Erci's head on the car, I... at the time I picked up a gun, but there was only A bullet."

Zhong Yirou almost collapsed, "I made a hit, I hit, but that person seemed to be able to see what I was going to do in advance, and he avoided."

She lowered her head and tried to restrain her crying, "Then...then he stabbed Erci to death..."

"He didn't get what he wanted, so he left and drove away... I came back with Erci and wanted to save her, I didn't even dare to turn on the lights, I didn't even have a favorite No one can be saved..."

Zhong Yirou was exhausted, and Yang Erci's last appearance was in front of her eyes. She covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly.

"What to do...No blame...I don't know what to do."

Why can you predict in advance?

An Wujiu always felt that something was wrong, and it was too dangerous here.

Shen Ti said what he wanted to say in advance, "Let's go first, since he bumped into you on the road, maybe we can find here."

“Do you remember what that person looked like?” An Wujiu asked.

"I..." Zhong Yirou stood up, a little out of strength, "He has his face covered, I can't see it."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, making An Wujiu's mind go blank for a moment.

"The Masked Man..."

In this way, everyone maintains the actions of the previous cycle, except himself.

And the masked man.

It turned out that he was not the only one who could go back in time.

"Crap."

Zhong Yirou wiped away her tears and tried to cheer herself up, "It's okay, this place is hard to find, he had already left at that time, so he probably won't come here, and it's not so fast, let's go."

"Really?"

The door creaked open, and there was a processed electronic sound.

Under the moonlight, a figure leaned against the door, playing with a short knife in his hand, with a cold tone.

"I'm here."
