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

In the swaying carriage, Pei Junlin opened a bottle of purified water, wet the gauze and wiped the mucus off Ai Wanxin's face and hair.

Living in the dark cave for a long time made Lin Xin and Tan Xuan thin and pale. They each opened a bag of individual rations and ate them in small bites.

Hearing He Yang's question, Ai Wanxin said disapprovingly: "Captain He, have you ever had a girlfriend?"

He Yang was stunned and stuttered for a rare moment: "No...no, what's wrong?"

"I knew you were such an inconsiderate person. I've already told you that the little girl just escaped death and didn't even have time to eat, but you kept asking questions. You're not considerate enough not only to your girlfriend, but also to your friends."

"Look at Brother Han and Brother Xiao Pei, they don't ask."

Yin Yanhan and Pei Junlin straightened their backs slightly and sat more upright.

He Yang said with a smile: "This is not their mission, right?"

Ai Wanxin sighed and said, "Alright, alright, there's really nothing I can do about you. Don't disturb them from eating. They just told me everything. I'll tell you."

He Yang hesitated to speak, and said resignedly: "Okay sweetheart, tell me."

"After Academician Yang led them into the mountains, they encountered continuous torrential rain. In a hurry, they found an abandoned machinery processing factory as a temporary shelter."

"We finally waited for the rain to stop, but two male students turned into zombies and bit another male student to death. Fortunately, there was an underground drainage channel in the processing plant, and the zombies couldn't get in. Academician Yang and the two girls escaped through the drainage channel and hid in the underground river."

"They survived by eating fish, snakes and rats from the underground river. However, Academician Yang was old after all. After such a long period of suffering, he could not make it and died of illness."

He Yang looked at Lin Xin and Tan Xuan in the rearview mirror.

The two looked at each other with red eyes, then nodded.

Lin Xin said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, the teacher didn't make it..."

Tan Xuan put down her rations, covered her eyes and cried silently. Lin Xin hugged her shoulders and couldn't help shedding tears.

For a moment, the only sounds in the carriage were the two people sobbing quietly.

Ai Wanxin condemned him strongly with her eyes.

He Yang didn't expect to make someone cry. He just felt like there were needles pricking him in the chair and felt uneasy.

He said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I won't ask, I won't ask."

He Yang stared at the broken road in front of him with deep eyes.

If sweetheart doesn't want to say something, she must have her reasons.

Now that Academician Yang has passed away, I must dig out the truth, but I am afraid that this will only serve no purpose other than satisfying my own curiosity.

His expression relaxed, and he asked, "So sweetheart, how did you get yourself into such a mess?"

Speaking of this, Ai Wanxin became excited.

She straightened up and said, "I found a big problem."

Everyone turned their eyes to her, and Ai Wanxin said, "Remember when I sent you a message? It was because I encountered a strange mushroom forest."

"Mushroom forest?" Pei Junlin asked curiously.

"Yes, it doesn't look very impressive, but if you accidentally touch it, it will explode with green spore smoke. That green smoke can make a person lose all their strength, and they won't be able to use any strength or supernatural powers at all."

"I held my breath, but I was still infected. I doubt I would be infected even if it got on my skin."

He Yang asked perceptively, "It sounds like a neurotoxin, so how did you detoxify it, sweetheart?"

Ai Wanxin said calmly, "Oh, Brother Han asked Xiao Taowu to follow me and carry me out."

He Yang frowned and looked at Yin Yanhan. Can the spirit body be away from the main body for so long? Why didn't I think of this? !

"Don't interrupt me, there's more to come." Ai Wanxin brought the topic back, "Later I found the factory where they took refuge, followed the escape tunnel into the underground river, and encountered a giant snake."

"That giant snake is only so powerful, but the blood of it and its offspring can even corrode rocks."

Ai Wan remembered that Taowu was burned by the snake's blood when he bit the big snake. She grabbed Yin Yanhan's hand and probed his body with her spiritual tentacles to heal Taowu's wounds. She also said, "Captain He, the information you got is inaccurate. The old snake has not ascended to heaven. It's just lying in its nest."

He Yang glanced at their clasped hands in the rearview mirror and said unhappily, "It's been hundreds of years, it can't be the same one, sweetheart."

"Okay, but the point I want to make is not this. The point is, haven't you noticed that we haven't encountered mutant plants before, only mutant insects and mutant animals."

"Now, the mushrooms have mutated."

He Yang couldn't help but ask, "Aren't mushrooms fungi?"

Pei Junlin laughed and said, "Captain He, you are destined to be alone. Honey, go on."

Ai Wanxin nodded in agreement: "Unlike the mutant animals we have encountered before, mushrooms and snakes are not natural five-element mutations, which means that the direction of mutation is beginning to blossom everywhere."

After these words were spoken, except for Lin Xin and Tan Xuan who had no idea about the current situation in the outside world, the other three fell silent.

What He Yang and Pei Junlin didn’t know was that creatures that were a fusion of mutant animals and humans had begun to appear.

"Then what?" Pei Junlin asked curiously.

"There's nothing else to say. I killed the big snake, destroyed its den, and followed the underground river to find the exit, and then I met them. How can I explain it? Isn't this just a case of good times always turn around and good fortune always comes?"

"It still has to be me." She raised her chin slightly.

He Yang said: "Yes, I have been looking for you for so long but couldn't find you. Sweetheart, I found you after you and I went out together twice. Next time I have a mission, I will look for you again."

Seeing that he had successfully gotten over the experience in the cave, Ai Wanxin was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Pei Junlin ask in surprise: "Speaking of which, did anyone of you encounter a spider?"

Lin Xin and Tan Xuan opened their eyes wide in horror, their fingers tightly clasped together, and the carriage suddenly became quiet.

Yin Yanhan, who already knew the whole story, frowned slightly. He Yang's gaze fell on the two girls through the rearview mirror.

As soon as Pei Junlin said this, he felt that the atmosphere in the car was not right. He hurriedly tried to make amends, "Baby, you don't know, actually when you called me, I was being thrown mud by a big monkey. The animals in this mountain are very cunning. I originally wanted to see what the spider that weaves such a thick web looks like, but now I think most of them are nocturnal animals. No wonder none of us have encountered one."

Ai Wanxin glanced at He Yang, who smiled slightly and said, "Yes, no wonder no one has met him."
