Survivorship Bias

Chapter 29: go to sleep

    Listening to their lively conversation, the Taoist priest also joined in, "What are you talking about?"

    "Stop talking."

    Yang Erci's voice is also cold, her tone is calm, but there is a kind of inexplicable convincing, "The temperature here is very wrong, it seems that there is a trend of decreasing, from our initialization to the present Over time, the body temperature has been decreasing."

    An Wujiu nodded, "The human body cannot withstand prolonged low temperature."

    "Stuck here, we might all freeze to death."

    But there are almost no objects here, Yang Erci came to the screen, guessed it was a computer, and tried to find a way to turn it on, but all failed.

    There was nothing in the room, An Wujiu tried to start with each other. He found that Zhong Yirou was wearing a white coat, very much like a doctor's dress. Looking closely, she had a badge pinned to the front of her chest, but it only had a number on it.

    [Containment Center E06]

    So he lowered his head and checked the front of his jacket, and sure enough, there was a number—[Containment Center A02]

    It's just that his clothes don't seem to be the same as Zhong Yirou's, they are simple suit pants and shirts, and he wears a white electronic watch on his left wrist. The material seems to be ceramic enamel, but the watch seems to be broken, The date above is stuck at 3:20:41AM on October 8th.

    An Wujiu pressed the button on the side of the watch, but the led character was only temporarily turned off, and it reappeared after a second, still at the same time.

    He turned to look at Shen Ti, "Do you have a badge on your body?"

    Shen Ti lowered his head and pulled up the badge on his clothes to show An Wujiu.

    It says [Containment Center A01].

    "Sure enough..." An Wujiu grabbed his wrist and found that he also had a similar electronic watch, but it was black, the black watch was put on the black gloves, so it was almost invisible.

    His time was stuck at 3:19:51 AM on October 8th.

    One minute ahead of yourself.

    "We are the same style." Shen Ti said.

    An Wujiu nodded, seemed to notice something, and asked the others, "Are you also wearing badges?"

    Several others checked and found that there were, not only that, but their clothes were no longer what they were before, and nothing was retained.

    In addition to the Taoist priest, he was wearing a mustard yellow overalls. A breathing filter mask.

    After checking, everyone sorted out the badge information.

    An Wujiu and Shen Ti’s job numbers start with the letter A, and they are dressed similarly, they are dressed in elite class clothes, [A01] and [A02] respectively.

    And Zhong Yirou is [E06], she looks like a doctor, but like her, Nanshan [E07] starts with E, but she dresses like a worker of unknown type.

    Wu You is wearing a full set of dark blue lab coats, her job number is [C04]

    Yang Erci's clothes are similar to Zhong Yirou's, but she also wears a pair of sterile operation gloves. Not only that, her job number is also different from Zhong Yirou's, which reads [B05].

    Among all of them, the most bizarre costume is Josh. He is wearing a colorful traditional clown costume, which is exactly the same as the joker on poker, but there is no clown costume on his face. How much? Some violations.

    An Wujiu thought he didn't have a badge, but he did. The initial letter was D, [D03].

    Except for Shen Ti and himself, the rest of the people have no watches.

    Zhong Yirou thought for a while, "It seems like at first glance...there is no pattern."

    The green light on all sides makes people panic, and the falling temperature in the room will solidify their thoughts. The air seems to flow and condense some kind of strange atmosphere, slowly dispersing.

    "Maybe there is a pattern." An Wujiu said, "The Holy Voice said that this containment center has five floors."

    Shen Ti quickly took his words, "You mean, the ABCDE on our badge corresponds to these five floors?"

    “It is possible.” An Wujiu said conservatively.

    When they were discussing, Yang Erci kept trying to turn on the host in the room. When An Wujiu raised this conjecture, she turned her head.

    "The Holy Voice also said that we are on the first floor."

    An Wujiu nodded, "If this letter represents the number of floors, or it means that different floors are staffed by different floors."

    Yang Erci stood up straight and said to them, "The overall computer system of a general research institution is distributed, and hosts in different departments have different permissions, and people in other departments cannot open it."

    Zhong Yirou interrupted and corrected her: "This is a charity."

    "It should be the same." In the darkness, Yang Erci's face was pale and majestic, she looked at Zhong Yirou's eyes and glanced at An Wujiu's badge, "You are A, come and try."

    He's not alone. An Wu Jiu pulled Shen Ti and the two walked to Yang Erci together and looked at the projection keyboard. After a while, several others followed.

    This projection keyboard is no different from an ordinary one. Yang Erci tapped on it, but it didn't work, and the display was still black.

    An Wujiu also stretched out his finger and tapped on it, but it was different from what they imagined, still no response. Shen Ti also tried it, but the result was the same.

    “How do you get out if you don’t give us anything?” Josh said timidly.

    "It's weird." Zhong Yirou didn't believe in evil, squeezed a hand out of the gap, and tapped the keyboard. Suddenly, the edge of the dark display was illuminated with a stream of light.

    "It's you?" Wu You glanced at her, "So the first floor corresponds to E."

    "Isn't that a Taoist?" Zhong Yirou grabbed Nan Shan's hand and typed it on the keyboard a few times.

    The monitor lights up and plays a video for them.

    A story about the origins of abandoned baby shelters, in which an American man named Cruz Massa is being interviewed.

    From the reporter's question, it can be found that Massa is a very rich man who owns an astonishing number of companies under his name.

    "Looking at this dress, it looks like something from the old earth period." Josh said.

    The old earth period is not an official name, but a stage term that is widely circulated on the Internet and becomes comparable to the official one. It is generally believed that the end of the two world **** of Satan and Vantone The era of labor colonization of most small countries by business giants overstepping several political alliances.

    But they are only in the initial stage of the post-Earth era, which is chaotic and turbulent.

    In the video, Massa refuted the reporter's ruthless question very honestly, and said to the camera, "Infants and young children are the future of mankind. In promoting the survival and development of all mankind, They have infinite possibilities."

    He went on to say that he wanted to build a huge home that was systematic, clean, caring and loving.

    He handed over a beautiful blueprint for everyone, and even the architectural design invited the best designers to make it into a pagoda shape for blessing, so that all children who go out from here can Have a happy future.

    He will invite the best nurses and teachers in the world to take care of and educate them so that they can have extraordinary wisdom and ability while having a strong body.

    As you can see from Massa's answer, he is an ideal philanthropist.

    At the end of the video, he hopes that the media will not disturb the growth of these innocent children, and not define them with the concept of secular orphans.

    "All for humanity."

    He looked straight into the camera and repeated it.

    "All for humanity."

    Video ends.

    Shen Ti didn't feel anything, turned his head to look at An Wujiu subconsciously, and found that he was clutching the clothes on his chest, frowning tightly, it seemed to be very painful.

    "Are you all right?" He leaned over and asked with his head lowered.

    An Wujiu shook his head in denial and loosened his frown.

    After playback, a dark login page appears on the display.

    [Please enter the password for the administrator of layer E:]

    "I don't know the password..."

    Zhong Yirou looked at Nanshan, obviously, the other party didn't know either.

    Nan Shan thought about it for a while, then suddenly became interested, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to step forward, "How about I enter a golden light magic spell!"

    Wu You grabbed him, "Be serious."

    The Taoist looked down at him, a child so old-fashioned.

    The two were bickering, Zhong Yirou checked her pockets, and there was nothing else. The temperature in the room was getting lower and lower, making it much harder to breathe.

    Yang Erci opened her mouth, white air appeared from her mouth, "Try to enter the last sentence in the video just now."

    Zhong Yirou originally planned to do this, but this cold beauty spoke first.

    "Really smart." She smirked at Yang Erci, then lowered her head and entered the English of the last sentence in the video just now.

    The display lights up again and appears to be authenticated.

    Just as they were waiting for something to appear, the laughter of children suddenly came from outside the door.

    Several people turned their heads, An Wujiu was sure it was not his hallucination.

    "Someone was outside just now." Josh's voice trembled, "I heard it right."

    "No." Yang Erci said rather coldly, "This is just a relatively large orphanage. It is normal to have children."

    "Then, can't they help?" Josh walked to the door and shouted to the door, "Is there anyone! Can you hear me?"

    Soon, the huge display on the wall flashed twice, and a stable picture appeared.

    A line of text appears.

    [Welcome back, E06.]

    It turns out that this is essentially a monitor, the dense grid shows the situation of many rooms, but they are all vague.

    "I haven't encountered such a 'silent' system for a long time." Wu You said, "It doesn't even have a voice."

    An Wujiu also felt very strange.

    The display soon gave a second message.

    [E06, E07, please complete your work today. ]

    With a click, the door of this monitoring room opened automatically. The heavy steel door slowly opened from the inside to the outside. At an extremely slow speed, the light from the corridor shot in instantly, cold white, like a sharp blade cutting through the darkness.

    "Is it open like this?" Nan Shan habitually raised her hand, put her two sleeves together, and tucked her hands into the sleeves.

    "This is just the beginning." Wu You turned around and walked out with the others. Josh, who was standing by the door, did not dare to go out directly and followed An Wu. behind the blame.

    An Wujiu didn't notice it, but Shen Ti looked straight at him, so Shen Ti also stuck to it, An Wujiu felt very crowded, and when he turned around and saw the two of them, he was next to his back .

    "You look bad." Josh cared, "What's wrong?"

    “It’s fine. Maybe it’s too cold.” An Wujiu prevaricates.

    After they came out, they found that there were no children in the corridor, it was empty, and they could see the head at a glance.

    "Go and have a look next door." Yang Erci said.

    Wu You agrees, "Yeah."

    Zhong Yirou was disobedient, "I'll take a look around the corridor first."

      corridor.

    The monitoring room is the first room on the corner.

    He turned his head, and sure enough, he found the safety evacuation map on the wall of another corridor at the corner, which was on the first floor.

    An Wujiu found out that this place is actually a zigzag building structure, the passages that people can walk through are connected to form a closed-loop corridor, the outer circle of the character "hui" is against the building wall, and the four sides of the south, east, north, and west There are 6 rooms each, and the inner circle of the corridor is a large and complete room, which is 9 times the size of other workshops.

    "Oh, the feng shui of this place is not very good."

    When she heard the sound, An Wu Jiu turned her head and saw Nan Shan who was holding her hands, her eyes were smiling.

    Shen Ti was also beside An Wujiu, "Feng Shui? What is Feng Shui?"

    An Wujiu turned to stare at Shen Ti, "Are you Chinese?"

    After asking him, he regrets it a little, and he doesn't seem to look like it...but the name is quite similar.

    Shen Ti blinked twice as if being asked.

    Nanshan opened her mouth and pointed out the evacuation diagram with her index finger, "Look, this is a zigzag. The closed zigzag structure is very bad, the building is for people Live, right, people have to pay attention to the luck of qi, although this word can counteract the luck of the straight, but the four sides are connected, and it will completely block the transportation of qi."

    He talked about metaphysics.

    An Wujiu listened attentively, and asked questions with utmost sincerity.

    "This is made by the United States, does the oriental feng shui metaphysics also control the Americans?"

    Nan Shan's eyes drooped down immediately, "Ah this..." He quickly cheered up and continued: "I tell you, this evil spirit does not distinguish between things, this kind of A zigzag building with evil spirits, good guy." He clapped his hands and spread them out.

    Shen Ti asked: "How?"

    An Wujiu felt strange, these two people are coming and going, like some kind of ancient language performance art.

    Nan Shan made a threatening expression, "Of course it's to lock the evil ghost, it won't go away for a long time."

    “Many schools also have this structure.” An Wujiu said, “Maybe it’s just to save space.”

    Zhong Yirou was walking along the corridor alone, and after passing two corners, she suddenly saw a little girl in the middle of the corridor, she looked like three or four years old, with golden brown hair tied in two Little horn braids, like sitting on the ground crying.

    Is this the kid who just laughed?

    Zhong Yirou walked over to her and tentatively called her, "Little friend."

    Although she is bold, Zhong Yirou is very cautious. Although this corridor looks bright, she has only seen a little girl sitting in the middle of the road after walking for so long.

    The little girl raised her face, with tears hanging on her face, looking really pitiful.

    She stretched out her arms towards Zhong Yirou, "Sister, I'm so cold."

    "What's the matter with you?" Zhong Yirou didn't directly reach out to hug her, "What are you doing here?"

    "I, I woke up and wanted to pee, so I came out..." The little girl cried, "But, but I don't know how to open the door."

    "You know me?" Zhong Yirou pointed to herself.

    The girl nodded, "You are the sister who sleeps with us every day."

    It seems that she is indeed a manager at this level. Zhong Yirou breathed a sigh of relief, she still didn't hold the child, she just stretched out her hand to pull her up, "Go back and continue to sleep."

    "Where to go?" Zhong Yirou asked her.

    The little girl pointed to the wall, "Here."

    The location of her value is actually the big room in the middle of the word "hui" in the evacuation diagram An Wujiu saw, but Zhong Yirou still doesn't know the existence of this picture.

    "Here?"

    Isn't this a wall in the hallway?

    Zhong Yirou squinted and took a closer look, only to realize that there was an invisible door on the white wall, and only a little of the door frame could be seen.

    In the upper right corner of the invisible door, there appears to be a raised white button.

    "Who can see it like this..." Zhong Yirou groaned, reaching out and pressing the button.

    A line of words appeared on the invisible door.

    [Opened by: E06.]

    The door slowly opens inward, and the light inside is soft warm yellow, which embellishes the place warm and comfortable. Zhong Yirou walked in with the little girl, who was still talking to her, "Sister, are you with us by yourself tonight?"

      The older ones were seven or eight years old, with different skin tones, but they were all like little angels.

    The little girl kept asking her, Zhong Yirou saw a little child who was very close to them turned over, so she made a silent gesture to the little girl.

    "Shh." She lowered her voice to remind, "They're all asleep."

    The little girl also nodded, very sensible and silent.

    The children's beds here are all of the same regulation and look neatly like a large matrix. Zhong Yirou looked around and found an empty cot, so she led the little girl there.

    "Go to sleep." Zhong Yirou touched her face, watched her climb into the bed by herself, and covered her with the quilt.

    When the little girl obediently closed her eyes, Zhong Yirou was about to leave this sleeping room.

    She walked to the door, saw a control panel on the wall, looked back again, and suddenly saw a child sitting up in countless cots.

    Zhong Yirou looked over, she was the little girl just now, she whispered to Zhong Yirou, "Sister, it's so cold."

    Yes.

    Zhong Yirou then remembered the temperature issue. She clicked on the panel, which displayed adjustment buttons for lighting, temperature, air humidity, etc., everything.

    She turned on the temperature and found that the air conditioner setting was only 3 degrees, so she quickly adjusted it up to 25 degrees, which is suitable for human sleep.

    After doing all this, Zhong Yirou turned her head to look again, the little girl had closed her eyes and fell asleep.

    So she also came out of this sleeping room, always feeling weird. The little girl just now was supposed to be an NPC. After being guided by an NPC, something different should appear, but nothing happened here.

    Zhong Yirou was pacing the corridor thoughtfully when she suddenly saw An Wujiu.

    She raised her hand and said hello.

    “Did you find anything?” An Wujiu asked.

    Zhong Yirou remembered, "Oh, I just found the panel to adjust the indoor temperature. I just raised the temperature a little." After that, she stretched out her hand to feel it, "Is it not so cold? ?"

    "Looks like they're looking for clues in other rooms..."

    When she listened to An Wujiu's words, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

    "Wait a minute, did you smell a bad smell?" Zhong Yirou asked.

    An Wujiu frowned.

     Without waiting for him to say anything, Zhong Yirou turned her head and went to the central sleeping room just now, she heard An Wujiu following behind her, so the time for pressing the button was deliberately prolonged.

    When he came over, the hidden door slowly opened.

    The warm light just now turned into a cold disinfection ultraviolet light, and the children were sleeping on the beds.

    The warm quilt to keep out the cold was gone, only the snow-white quilt remained, covering the top of the head and covering the whole body.

    How come this is.

    Zhong Yirou, who usually sips "so scary", is thinking about whether she should quit immediately.

    "Where is this?" She heard an innocent voice behind her.

    Suddenly, the children on the bed, everyone, sat up at the same moment, their backs were straight, and the sheets on their faces slowly fell.

     Creeping, their faces turned, and they spoke in unison.

    "Sister, it's so hot."

    "I'm about to melt."
