MTL - Survivorship Bias-Chapter 39 drawbridge effect

After receiving the instructions, Wu You, who had his shoulders on the door, freed up a hand and entered the answer stroke by stroke into the blank.

Just after entering the first color, Wu You keenly felt the floor under his feet disintegrating.

Aware of the danger, her fingers trembled uncontrollably, and Wu You had to put her entire arm and wrist against the door.

There was a clicking sound, and a crack appeared from one side of the complete floor they were stepping on, and it slashed straight towards the middle.

At this moment, there is a momentary blank in An Wugui’s brain, it is false to say that he is not worried, the suspension is so close, his heartbeat is getting faster and faster. In an instant, a hand grabbed his, it was Shen Ti.

Shen Ti stretched his hand behind his back, grabbed An Wujiu's injured hand, avoided his gauze-wrapped wrist, bent his arm at an emergency, and placed it on him between your own chest.

The fissure continues to grow.

Wu You entered the last word, and the door beeped twice.

"Josh! Open the door and try!"

"Good!"

The crack reaches the other end of the floor.

[D03, welcome back! ]

The door opened inwards, and the floor under my feet collapsed almost in the next second.

The seven narrowly escaped at the last minute.

It was Shen Ti who led him into the room, and finally fell heavily on the ground at the door of the room.

Second injury.

Feeling that he hit him hard, An Wu Jiu felt a little guilty and moved, and his emotions were complicated, so he got up immediately and pulled Shen Ti up from the ground.

"It's dangerous..." Josh supported the wall in the door, feeling his feet soften.

The room was dark, lit by firelight. It's slightly smaller than the room in the Angel's Cloister, with a desk and bookshelves that reach the ceiling, but no screen.

An Wujiu was full of tasks, he raised Shen Ti and started to search, he found two micro hard drives on the desk, the two labels [E06] and [E07] were printed on the hard drives respectively , seems to belong to two people, but it seems a bit strange to appear on this floor. There is also a box on the table. When the lid is opened, there are some small cards inside, which are childish handwriting.

The situation was urgent, so he couldn't take a closer look, An Wujiu put the micro-hard drive into his pocket and picked up the box.

Yang Erci took a look at the countdown within her field of vision.

Time is running out.

"Quick, the key is on the top shelf."

Two red-bound books on the top shelf of the bookshelf held a key, said to be a key, which was in fact a rainbow-colored door card, emitting a rather faint light in the dimly lit room.

The semi-conscious Zhong Yirou seemed to recover a little, she raised her hand and pointed to the back of the bookshelf, "There is a ladder..."

A long, narrow telescopic steel ladder rests against the wall.

Wu You was about to step forward when an extremely fast figure flashed past his eyes, like the wind.

"Take the ladder out and put it in the hallway."

He jumped up, grabbed his outstretched arm, and took off the rainbow "key" stuck on the top shelf.

At the same time when Shen Ti landed on his feet, Nanshan, who was in a drowsiness, suddenly coughed violently, and the whole person slanted along the wall and fell to the ground.

Wu You and An Wu Jiu are pulling out the retractable steel ladder. Seeing that Nan Shan's reaction was wrong, Wu You worried that his medicine was not ready, "I'll go take a look."

Josh stepped forward to help, the ladder was quite heavy, and the two worked together to push the ladder out.

Always feel a little bit worse.

"Is this really within reach?"

An Wujiu was half-kneeling at the end of the ladder, constantly pulling the retractable ladder out, while estimating, speaking very fast, "The corridor is about 2 meters wide, our room and other The rooms are different. It is the extra one between the two doors, so the distance is greater than one room and less than two rooms. I noticed before that the distance between the two doors in the corridor is no more than 3 meters, so the two doors The maximum distance from the door diagonally is about 3.6 meters."

The ladder got longer and longer, and finally came to an end.

“This ladder is four meters wide, it must be enough.” An Wujiu held the right side of the ladder, found the right angle, let Josh hold the left, and the two slowly moved the long ladder out push.

One end of the ladder continues to extend in the direction of the circus.

On Wu You's side, he leveled Nanshan and rescued Nanshan according to Zhong Yirou's method.

"Untie his clothes...with air."

Yang Erci and Shen Ti also stepped forward and held down the part of the ladder that was still inside the door, stabilized it, and helped them send the ladder out together. The outward end of the ladder was getting closer and closer to the circus The gate is only about a meter away from the small surviving floor in front of the gate.

"The neckline should be loosened, otherwise it will be difficult to breathe..."

Wu You did as he did, but when he undid the neckline of Nanshan work clothes, he discovered something very strange.

There is a blue-purple scar on Nanshan's neck.

A chill surged up, Wu You looked at Zhong Yirou, the firelight illuminated her face brightly, as if sitting under the afterglow of the setting sun, looking down and moving to her neck.

It is the exact same scar as Nanshan.

"What's the matter? Quick, put two hands on his chest..."

Wu You's hands were numb and paralyzed. He nodded, answered, and put his hand on Nan Shan's chest. Before she could press it down, Nan Shan coughed and opened her eyes.

"Cough cough..." He subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed the hand on his chest, as if grabbing the last straw.

At this time, Wu You finally woke up and helped Nan Shan to sit up, "Are you all right? You..." He also held Nan Shan's hand back, trying to feel his temperature.

There is not much difference in temperature with myself.

What's the matter with this streak?

The distance is getting shorter.

The top of the ladder finally landed firmly on the floor in front of the circus door.

"Okay!" An Wujiu sent the ladder out to make the bridge more stable, "Shen Ti, you go over first, then hold the other end of the ladder."

Shen Ti refused his command.

"I am last, you first." After speaking, Shen Ti threw the card he got earlier into Josh's hand, "Follow him, open the door and go in."

An Wujiu found that whenever danger was approaching, Shen Ti would become extraordinarily calm, even indifferent.

Indifference to death.

So he also turned to other objects, "Josh, you go first, be quick."

The two dodge Josh in his eyes, and he also knows that he has a heavy responsibility.

"Okay. I'll be there waiting for you."

In this way, the most timid Josh was the first to walk on the bridge built by the steel ladder. Under the bridge was flaming magma.

The ladder was a little wobbly, Josh knew that they were supporting him at the other end, and he kept comforting himself in his heart. He almost walked over with his legs shaking, but his hand was steady and firm. Grip the Rainbow Key firmly.

This is the hope of all.

"I'm here!" Josh shouted with his back to them, giving others confidence. He pressed the rainbow door card to the sensing position of the door, and sure enough, the opposite circus door slowly opened inward.

"Success!"

The first time Josh walked in, he turned around and squatted down, pressing the end of the ladder with both hands, "Hurry up!"

, follow him.

Everyone left, only An Wujiu was left, he looked at the countdown.

Ten seconds left.

At the last moment, An Wu Jiu picked up the box containing the cards and stepped onto the long ladder, since there was no one at the other end to stabilize the end, the ladder was extremely swaying, An Wu Jiu could only hurry up step forward.

Suddenly, the door behind him also collapsed, and a whole door fell down into the bottomless magma, igniting a fire.

"No blame! The floor is cracked too, quick!"

Josh's words were not finished, An Wu Jiu only felt that his feet were empty, out of his first reaction, he threw the box in his hand towards them.

The end of the ladder fell off.

"Don't—"

At the last moment, Shen Ti held onto the top of the ladder tightly. He didn't know why he was able to burst out so much power in an instant, and he didn't have time to think about it at the moment.

An Wujiu's hand also firmly grasped the bar of the ladder, hanging above a sea of ​​fire.

The mechanical skeleton endows him with grip strength and endurance beyond ordinary people, otherwise he can't hold it at all, nor can he hold it.

"Climb up."

He heard Shen Ti's voice, so he tried his best to reach the ladder, and finally stepped on it, dragged by Shen Ti and others, the ladder did not fall, so An Wujiu In this way, climb up a little bit.

Finally, at the last second of the countdown, An Wujiu stretched out his hand and tightly clasped the edge of the floor.

Shen Ti reached out to him and pulled him up.

The ladder fell heavily, splashing sparks. Shen Ti looked at An Wujiu, obviously exhausted, his first reaction to escape from death was to laugh.

An Wujiu gave Shen Ti a weak but happy smile, that beautiful face was turned against the light, not very clear, only one pair of eyes was brighter than Xinghuo.

"Fortunately I was last, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

Shen Ti didn't feel lucky. Seeing his smile, and seeing the box and scattered cards on the ground at the end, even a trace of displeasure surged in his heart, and he couldn't explain why this happened. , this is an experience I have never had before.

No one can control his emotions.

"You're a lunatic." After Shen Ti finished speaking, he stood up.

This has always been the case.

An Wujiu didn't quite understand, he was surrounded by the great joy and happiness of others because of his survival, but just because of Shen Ti's words, he couldn't sense these happiness, he just wondered about his manner.

Somewhat confused, but An Wujiu still remembered that there were important clues on his body, he put his hand into his pocket in a trance, took out the two micro hard drives, handed one to Nanshan and the other to Zhong Yirou.

After that, An Wujiu stood up, followed Shen Ti into the circus, and asked him, "Why?"

"I haven't changed, why do you think I'm crazy?"

An Wujiu doesn't understand why he is so serious.

Shen Ti turned around and faced him, his expression was not good-looking, nor was he as sloppy and indifferent as he used to be.

His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear him.

"Only a lunatic cares only about the lives of others."

For a second, An Wujiu raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ti's transparent eyes, from which he could see a rare trace of seriousness.

An Wujiu's brows slightly frowned, he was clearly a man with a heart, and he was someone who used his scheming to play with others and applaud, but what he said at the moment was so straightforward that he didn't hide it at all.

"You don't care about yourself, but do you care about my life?"

Looking into his eyes, Shen Ti's heart beat so fast for a moment, so fast that he finally realized that he still had such a heart.

“If I am a lunatic…” An Wujiu looked into his heart with clear eyes, “Then you are too.”

"We are each other."

The guy reached out and grabbed Shen Ti's coral earrings.

Also said the reason with a pure face, "Your earrings make me feel uncomfortable."

Dangling, dangling.

It's frustrating.

Just grabbing the earrings, An Wujiu felt nothing, but Shen Ti had a similar stress reaction like a cat.

Seeing him like this, An Wujiu immediately let go and raised both hands subconsciously, as if his conscience found out that he was the culprit who planned to surrender.

The confrontation just now was forgotten, seeing him coughing so badly, An Wujiu was a little worried, so he put his hand on Shen Ti's back and patted him on the back, " What's wrong with you?"

He thought that Zhong Yirou and Nanshan had symptoms of coughing, and he was very worried, "It won't be infected."

"You...cough, you expect me to be okay." Shen Ti covered his mouth with the back of his hand and coughed a few more times.

He couldn't get used to it at all, and the reaction he never had, was very, very unfamiliar.

This body doesn't seem to be my own, at least not now.

The control keys were briefly taken away by An Wugui.

"It's a bit older than I thought."

Josh's voice interrupted Shen Ti's unrealistic conjecture. He held back the stressful cough, and grabbed An Wujiu's hand clapping on his back, tightly clenching his wrist, not allowing him to move.

An Wujiu doesn't think he is an idiot.

He can set up his own game at the beginning of the game, or solve many puzzles that many people can't solve in a very short time.

But he really couldn't figure out what was going on with this guy in front of him.

Sometimes good, sometime bad.
