The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

He Yang gave up struggling. It was more important to find out the whereabouts of Academician Yang than to keep it secret.

He half-knelt down, grabbed the thin man by the collar, and asked, "Before the end of the world, a group of scientists from Guanghui City came to Fengcheng for research. They rented a car from your company, and Qian Yuantao was the driver. Where are they now?"

No one along the way said that Old Qian's name was Qian Yuantao.

As soon as He Yang said this, Ai Wanxin understood that the reason why he didn't let her kill Qian Yuantao was because he recognized him.

Could the scientist from Glory City be Academician Yang?

The thin man spat out a mouthful of blood foam and cursed: "What a shitty scientist, your grandfather doesn't know."

Fortunately, He Yang dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been sprayed in the face by him.

He Yang held back his anger and said kindly, "Don't be so angry. We are not here to seize your territory. I have already said that the military has a base. If you go with us, even if it is not as good as the normal life before, basic safety can still be guaranteed, which is better than living here in fear of losing your life day by day."

The thin man sneered, revealing his bloodstained yellow teeth: "Is it time to go back with you and suffer the wrath of superior people like you?"

"My brothers and I are here enjoying ourselves, drinking, eating meat and playing with women, and you want me to mind my business—"

"Bang——" The thin man's head exploded. He Yang was caught off guard and his face was sprayed with brain matter and blood.

"Ah--" the crowd screamed in panic and pushed each other to try to run out of the courtyard gate, but were stopped by Hao Qiong and his men.

Hao Qiong looked at He Yang, who was squatting on the ground in a dirty and disheveled state, with some shock, and asked, "Captain He, are you okay?"

He Yang wiped the flesh off his face, shook off a piece of scalp with hair on his shoulder, and looked at Ai Wanxin helplessly: "Sweetheart, I haven't finished asking..."

Ai Wanxin smiled slightly and said, "To make a long story short, Captain He."

The fat man was close, and watched his companion being shot in the head in front of him. He didn't dare to take Qiao anymore, and gasped, "I know, I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to kill me!"

He Yang's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you know their whereabouts?"

The fat man nodded and looked at Ai Wanxin with fear: "You have to promise me that you won't let her kill me. You have to keep me alive and let me go. Then I will tell you that I am the only one in the world who knows about this. If you want to kill me, I will die with this secret and you will never find them."

He Yang looked at Ai Wanxin and saw her smiling and said, "Captain He, why do I have so much trouble looking at you?"

"Brother Han." She turned to Yin Yanhan.

Yin Yanhan nodded, took a step forward, and locked his eyes, as dark as a deep pool, into the fat man's small mung eyes.

The fat man shuddered, his eyes lost focus, and he said hesitantly, "There was indeed a group of rich people coming from Guanghui City at that time. The leader was a woman in her fifties. Her last name was Yang, and everyone else called her teacher."

"On the day it rained, they rented my and Lao Bai's car to pull their machinery. Later, the car couldn't drive in, so they hired a donkey cart from a fellow villager and walked into Lao Longwo. They asked us to wait at the foot of the mountain, but no one came out."

He Yang stood up and looked at Yin Yanhan. It turned out that he was the one who could perform mind control.

Ai Wanxin called his attention back: "Captain He, is that enough? Any other questions?"

He Yang shook his head, and the fat man's head exploded, causing another round of screams.

Ai Wanxin looked past the survivors huddled together at the door and looked outside the courtyard.

The ground began to vibrate rhythmically.

The giant turtle's huge and ugly head appeared above the courtyard, casting a shadow.

The survivors looked up and saw the giant turtle. They screamed and ran into the yard, squatting under the wall with their heads in their hands.

Ai Wanxin said slowly: "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt anyone at will."

"Captain He next to me just said that the military has established a temporary base in Fengbei Ziyang City to accommodate all survivors."

“In the city, although we cannot return to our lives before the apocalypse, at least we can sleep peacefully at night.”

"But since we are all residents of this mountain, whether we can go down the mountain requires the consent of the mountain god."

"God is the most fair. He will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will he let a bad person go."

A young man said indignantly: "What god? What's the use of tricking an old man? Isn't it just a mutant turtle?"

Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "No one is talking, why are you talking? Are you feeling guilty?"

The man stiffened his neck and shouted, "I...what do I have to feel guilty about?"

"Even if we took some of someone else's things, they are ownerless. We don't even know if the owner is still alive. Why should we feel guilty about taking emergency shelter?"

"Really?" Ai Wanxin asked back.

Not far away, a girl in her twenties screamed, "Yao, don't be afraid to admit what you did. When we get to the base, I'll sue you to death!"

Yao Yu turned around and glared at the girl fiercely, cursing, "Do you have any evidence? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue her, and see who will pay attention to you!"

Ai Wanxin stopped them from talking: "I said, the gods will make the decision."

He Yang had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the eyes of the people squatting in the corner all dimmed, and they stood up staggeringly like zombies.

The giant turtle slowly stepped into the courtyard and brought down the walls on both sides of the gate.

Hao Qiong hurriedly led the soldiers to retreat to the side.

The giant turtle stopped beside Ai Wanxin.

The young man who had just spoken staggered to Ai Wanxin's front.

He bowed his head, like a devout believer confessing to his Lord.

"When Lao Qian and his gang bullied others, I not only helped them, I also--"

"Ah--" The giant turtle opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and took Yao Yu into its mouth.

Yao Yu's lower body was hanging outside the giant turtle's mouth, struggling weakly, and blood was scattered all over the ground like the first rain of this winter.

The giant turtle's long and soft throat rolled and swallowed Yao Yu whole into its stomach.

He Yang, Hao Qiong and other people who were still conscious felt a chill down their spines and were a little dazed.

But He Yang was never a man who followed the rules. He ordered, "Everyone in the transport company, turn back—"

Hao Qiong and the soldiers of the transport company had no choice but to turn around.

Behind them, the whispers of different voices lasted for a long time before they stopped. The sound of the giant turtle chewing flesh and bones kept echoing in their ears like the whisper of a devil. In the early winter weather, cold sweat soaked the vests of their camouflage uniforms.

When the giant turtle, after having eaten its fill, slowly stepped out of the yard, Hao Qiong felt that it seemed to be two inches bigger than when it came.

There were originally nearly twenty survivors, but in the end there were less than ten left.

Hao Qiong looked at Ai Wanxin's back, who was standing steadily on the back of the giant turtle, and felt mixed emotions, not knowing how to evaluate her.

Can humans really be impartial, nonpartisan, just and upright like God?
