Survivorship Bias

    Shen Ti held a firm skeptical attitude towards every word he said.

    Because he has experienced and is very clear, An Wujiao is in a vicious and complicated stage, just because he thinks that no one in the room is a threat to him, will he slightly restrain his thorns .

    Once there is a threat, he will immediately raise the gun in his hand.

    In fact, no matter whether he is good or evil, An Wu Jiu has one thing that is constant. Beneath his seemingly amorous exterior is a ruthless heart.

    No matter how kind you are, you are just as ruthless.

    So the protection he said is true and false.

    "Why did you pull me just now?"

    When asked this question, Shen Ti knew that An Wujiu probably wouldn't answer him, and even if he answered, it would probably be a prevarication.

    Sure enough, An Wu Jiu’s arrogance gradually subsided, he withdrew his 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 have not been paid, you are dead, where can I go to have fun?"

    After finishing speaking, he walked to the return service area, and Shen Ti was with him. An Wu Jiu glanced at Shen Ti's hand pretending to be unintentional, and found that Shen Ti didn't hold the wound at all, the place where the blood was dripping just now is no longer bleeding at all.

    This is too fast.

    "The gloves are off, let me see."

    Shen Ti didn't plan to hide, but he didn't plan to listen to An Wujiu honestly. He put his hand in front of An Wujiu and made a "you take it off yourself" expression.

    Something is wrong.

    But An Wu Jiu didn't know whether the fast healing power was because it was in the game, or it was from Shen Ti himself.

    He thought of what Shen Ti said when he injured his hand, "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 inexplicable, "Did I ask you?"

    Shen Ti paused for a while, and while walking forward, he continued to speak nonsense: "I was in the game once, in a round of the game a long time ago, when I was caught by a The monster cut off his left arm, a whole one, starting from here." He also rubbed his left shoulder to show An Wujiu.

    But An Wujiu just thought it was funny, he didn't want to listen to the story, so he sneered.

    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, but I felt a sense of relief in my heart. "

    "As a result, the monster didn't continue to chop me. He seemed to have a visual impairment. After he chopped off his arm, he ran in the other direction and chopped other people to death." The green eyes seemed to have fireflies flickering, very beautiful, "I thought about it later, maybe it was because the person screamed and attracted the attention of the monster, I didn't remember to scream at that time."

    The description was dry, not even a decent description, but An Wugui actually had a little curiosity.

    But he held back and was not ready to ask questions.

    In the distance, An Wu Jiu heard Wu You's voice, and seemed to be arguing for something.

    Shen Ti, like talking to himself, said slowly: "I picked up the arm that was cut off by myself, and walked to a place that looked like it was easy to encounter monsters. place, but I was so tired that I sat on the ground with my arms in my arms and fell asleep."

    After he finished speaking, he looked at An Wujiu with an expression that was about to sigh, "It's not dead yet."

    An Wujiu had a moment, he wanted to use the gun in his hand to complete this guy, but the next second he thought again.

    It's better to leave him alive for eloquence.

     Either way, it's a very bad idea.

    "The life is so good." An Wujiu raised his eyebrows, "I really want to die, you can leave this life to me."

    His tone seemed to be pre-ordering a new medal on his shoulders in advance, or a long-awaited exquisite stamp.

    Not only that, An Wu Jiu patted Shen Ti's left arm on purpose.

    While speaking, they had reached the door of the return room.

    An Wujiu frowned.

    It contains baby laughter.

    Yang Erci woke up from the coma, and the scene in front of her made her speechless.

    They are now in a factory-like place. The inclined walls on both sides and the entire wall on the north side are full of living cabins, like a honeycomb-like regular and dense square cabin.

    There are women of different skin colors in the cabin, and labels are displayed outside the cabin, which are their weight, height, blood type, education and other information, 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 animals, and some are being cleaned. The cleaning process is very convenient, and there is no need to change the venue. Evenly water was sprayed from the top of the square cabin and drenched them on their bodies. The water stopped quickly, and the next process was drying.

    Hot air gushed from all sides of the cabin, they waited naked for drying, but were not allowed to wear clothes, perhaps because the clothes would affect the system’s monitoring of fetal health, in short, they stayed like this Inside, the precious belly is exposed.

    More delicate and smaller robotic arms appeared in the cabin, distributed them the exact same food, and then "actively" injected them with nutritional injections.

    No right to refuse.

    During the whole process, they don't seem to be human, or even biological.

    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 Nan Shan staring at the [Return Instructions] on the wall for a long time, as if in a daze.

    So Wu You followed.

    3. The agency will not be responsible for the sickness, injury and death of infants caused by human beings.

    4. The agency will not accept returns if it is not the baby's own reasons.

      ]

    The first four and the last are ironic.

    Wu You turned her face to the side, seeing that Nan Shan was still in a daze.

    "Hey, Taoist priest."

    Nan Shan then returned to her senses and turned her face, "What's wrong?"

    "What's wrong with you?" Wu You frowned, "You've been stuck for a long time."

    "It's nothing." Nan Shan smiled at him, but didn't say anything else, "Check if there are any files or tags, there may be clues in the text material."

    Josh inspected the incubators, and the children were almost asleep. There is a label on the upper left corner of the glass incubator, which reads gender, production time, and reason for return.

    These children don't even have a name, just a cold string of numbers.

    "Reason for return: Congenitally low vision." Josh read aloud, thinking the reason was unreasonable, "Why? It's just that the eyesight is not very good. How many people have vision problems? Why don't you want children because of this?"

    Nan Shan lowered her head, looked at the other children, and answered his puzzled, "Because they are essentially bought by themselves. The children born by oneself, no matter what, are destined The result and the crystallization of love poured into it, so rare is more than critical."

      Even the value-for-money psychology, a little flaw is unacceptable."

    Josh felt powerless. In addition to this reason, there are many, many less than perfect reasons for abandonment.

    On the other hand, he feels sympathy for couples who are infertile.

    "But people who can't have children, they are also very..."

    The corners of Nanshan's raised mouth have a hint of a wry smile, "There are many children in this world, just want to raise a child, what a simple matter."

    "But what they sometimes want is not a child who needs to be well-bred, but an exclusive thing marked with itself to prove their existence, or even use this child to Make yourself more 'complete'. That's all."

    "Do you have to use someone else's womb to give birth if you can't have children? Since artificial wombs have appeared, why must young and beautiful women be forced to give up their mothers?"

    Wu You could not accept this point of view, although he has always been taciturn, but at this moment he felt that he could not remain silent.

    "Do you know the black swan? The largest online black market, I have seen 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 , give different prices according to different requirements: accept multiple births, give 20,000 US dollars, accept caesarean section, give 15,000, white blond beauty who graduated from a famous university, the price is more beautiful, and more than that, out of humanitarianism, they will also pay For example, if there is a danger after giving birth, the uterus needs to be removed, and the compensation is 10,000 US dollars.”

    "I don't have a uterus, and I haven't really seen these pregnant mothers, but just from this advertisement, I know this is not the right thing." Wu You's expression was solemn, "According to this If the business rules continue, are they humans or wombs?"

    Josh couldn't find any reason to refute his rudeness just now, so he sincerely apologized.

    Wu You stopped talking, and the atmosphere became very heavy. Nan Shan, who thought she would liven up the atmosphere, chose to remain silent at this time.

    Intuition tells Wu You that Nanshan seems to have hidden feelings.

    Maybe he too was an outcast.

    Everyone checked the shelves, Nanshan finally saw an unlabeled incubator in the penultimate row of the last shelf.

    The child in the incubator was a Caucasian newborn, perhaps only a few weeks old. On the surface, it doesn't seem like he has any disabilities.

    Nan Shan found that one of his hands seemed to be clenched tightly, feeling a little wrong. So he tried to find a way to open the incubator, but he looked around the edge, and the seam was tight, with few edges to pry open.

    However, if you force open the box, you may injure the baby inside.

    So Nanshan meditated cross-legged, placed the incubator in front of her, calculated the time in her heart, and made a seal with her hands.

    After Nanshan took down the incubator, Josh actually found a micro hard drive where the box was placed, the same as what An Wujiu found before, except that what he found at that time was Nanshan and Zhong Yirou's.

    What Josh found had his number written on it.

    Stored the hard drive, seeing Nanshan acting strangely, Josh was about to step forward, but was grabbed by Wu You, Wu You shook his head at him, and whispered that Nanshan was casting a spell. Josh immediately felt sorry, nodded again and again, and stepped back a little. Although he knew he was a Taoist priest, this was the first time he saw him cast spells. Immediately, a golden circular curse mark appeared, and the six-sided yellow talisman swirled a few times, affixed to each side of the incubator.

    A few seconds after Nanshan chanted the incantation, a golden light flashed, and there was a cracking sound in the silence. Those spells did not disappear, but wrapped the baby in the middle and delivered him safely to Nan Shan.

    "It actually works?" 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 an ability." Nan Shan held the child's hand with a smile. Judging from the temperature, there didn't seem to be much difference. He gently opened the child's tightly held little hand, The movement is not too heavy, and it takes a while to break it apart.

    There is only a small metal ball in it, and there is nothing else.

    He took the ball, closed the child's hands, put him back in the incubator, stood up and returned it to its place.

    Putting down the box, Nan Shan looked down at the metal ball the size of a fingernail in her hand, which showed that it was very smooth and had no marks.

    "It seems that there is nothing else." Josh suggested to leave first, "I'm afraid that something will happen to them, isn't Yirou still fainting?"

    That's right, Wu You agrees. Just about to go. They heard slaps.

    It's like slapping the wall, and it's like slapping the door.

     Looking towards the door, Wu You saw An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti.

    Before he could figure out what the beating sound was, he heard An Wujiu ask him, "Didn't you hear the baby's laughter?"

    An Wujiu stood at the door and did not enter, but ordered them to come out.

    Laughter?

    Several people in the room reacted immediately and walked out, but the sound of beating behind them became louder and denser.

      The strange creatures reacted very quickly, and one of them had already caught Josh's ankle.

    "Bang-"

    There was a loud noise, and thick green mucus splashed on Josh's legs and arms, as well as on the side of his face.

    "No blame, they are the children who were rejected..."

    "They're monsters to kill you."

      enemy.

    He tilted his head to aim, the shells quickly fell off the gun body, like the monsters in front of him falling down one by one.

    But there are too many.

    "Shit, should buy a machine gun."

    They quickly retreated, and An Wugui kicked the door closed.

    The group of monsters behind them screamed, like crying, more like laughing.

    An Wujiu quickly reloaded, the shotgun's rate of fire is very limited, he can only shoot one headshot, and there are no false shots.

    But the bullets are running out.

    Just as he was about to shoot the last shot, he suddenly heard Shen Ti's voice.

    "Run back!"

    Shen Ti took his hand alone, and in the chaos, An Wu Jiu saw what was thrown from Shen Ti's injured hand.

    Then, the pipes behind them caught fire, and in the extremely hot air and fire, they fled to the square porch they first entered, and the skeletons of the killed robots were still present.

    "I also exchanged one," Shen Ti didn't seem to be affected by the incendiary bombs dropped at close range, behind him was the howl of a burning monster, and he indifferently explained the cause of the fire After that, "Use it casually, the effect is not bad."

    His face was a calm and complacent that shouldn't be after a crime.

    He smiled and looked at Shen Ti, "What is this?"

    Shen Ti thought for two seconds.

    "Let's join forces," he said.

    --------------------

    The author has something to say:

    The job advertisement mentioned by Wu You in the article is actually real, the "price" is lower, it appeared in the "European womb" Ukraine, and it was circulated on Facebook. The content is probably like this:

    "Emergency Plan! We are looking for a mother to carry twins!! The embryos are ready!

    Under the age of 35. Payment terms: Program Incentives - EUR 14,000; Monthly - EUR 300; Clothes - EUR 300; Embryo Transfer - EUR 300.

    Risks and Compensation: – If Caesarean section is required – €1,000 – If abortion is required – Pregnancy €80 per week – Loss of fallopian tubes – €1,500 – Loss of uterus – €3,000 – Had to due to the fault of the embryo’s parents Carry out waiting – 100€/month, 90 days from the date of signing - requires surgical intervention – 300€ If interested please leave me a message.

    You can watch some interviews about surrogate mothers. In fact, their living environment is not as good as the high-tech surrogacy factory described in the article. Only a little bit of the remuneration was exploited layer by layer, and the money did not 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 from 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 retrieve eggs, and it is very harmful to the body.
