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

The Hummer rolled over the collapsed low wall and headed straight back the way it came.

Ai Wanxin sat up straight, leaned out of the car window, looked back at the low wall and asked, "When did the wall collapse?"

Pei Junlin was puzzled and asked, "Maybe it collapsed last night?"

Cold sweat oozed from Ai Wanxin's forehead. She sat back in her seat, feeling completely disheveled.

Damn it, do you have to mess with my mentality like this?

The Hummer quickly drove back to the highway along the ridge of the field. The forest that blocked the road yesterday was still standing quietly in the same place, without any sign of abnormality.

The car stopped not far away. He Yang opened the door and said, "Wait for me a moment. It will be ready soon."

He planned to look up from the sky to find the source of the rapid growth of the forest and eliminate it directly.

Actually, it is not impossible for them to go around it, but they will have to go through this way on the first return trip. If they leave it alone now, they don’t know how much it will expand when they return. Secondly, humans now have no intention of coexisting with mutant animals and plants. Of course, these mutant animals and plants have no intention of coexisting with humans. They regard humans as food and competitors for resources and nutrients. Naturally, humans will not be lenient.

Ai Wanxin, who wanted to go into the woods to find out what was going on, stopped him.

"Captain He, I'll go with you." After saying that, he stepped out of the car.

"Of course you can, sweetheart." He Yang wanted to come up and hug her happily, but he saw Ai Wanxin summoned a little fox, turned over and sat on its back.

The little fox didn't stop at all. It stomped its four legs on the road and flew straight into the sky, stepping on the bright red runes.

"Captain He, what are you daydreaming about?" Pei Junlin asked jokingly, holding up the open car window with one arm.

He Yang sneered, turned around and took off.

If I can't hold it, then you can?

The little fox was hovering in the air. He Yang flew to Ai Wanxin's side and followed her gaze towards the dense forest below.

This patch of woods stretches down from the hillside on the east side of the road, like a large pool of thick yellow-green plasticine spread on the highway and the plain on the west side of the road.

I don’t know if it was because it was late yesterday, but the forest looked heavy and eerie, but now it looks no different from any other forest with dense trees.

He Yang said in surprise: "Why do you look more normal than yesterday?"

"Go and take a look and you'll find out." Before Ai Wanxin finished her words, she bent down, and the little fox swooped down towards a deep pit in the woods.

He Yang followed closely behind her, and the two of them landed on the edge of the deep pit one after the other.

Ai Wanxin and He Yang were no strangers to this kind of deep pit. The meteorite crater they saw in Mingxiao Mountain was like this, but the diameter here was much smaller than that of Mingxiao Mountain.

There was a lot of water at the bottom of the deep pit in front of us, but there were no animal carcasses, so it looked quite clear.

Before Ai Wanxin could say anything, He Yang exclaimed, "This looks very similar to the meteorite crater in Mingxiao Mountain. Could there be a meteorite underneath? Honey, wait, I'll fish it out and take a look."

After saying that, He Yang raised his right palm, and saw that the soil at the bottom of the pit rose rapidly, and the accumulated water overflowed the edge of the pit and poured into the woods.

The water level rose where the two were standing, and a small platform rose from the ground, preventing Ai Wanxin from getting wet at all.

After the bottom of the pit rose to the same level as the ground, the accumulated water also flowed away. Now looking around, the whole pit was filled with soft silt.

He Yang's palm turned over, the mud boiled like water, and a round stone buried deep in the mud was pushed out.

The boulder was only the size of a tennis ball, with a bumpy surface, a gray color, and was covered in silt.

"There's something." He Yang stopped and said.

"It just looks like a stone?" Ai Wanxin said uncertainly.

"Sweetheart, you don't know that meteorites don't look very good. This one is quite neat." After He Yang finished speaking, he stood up and flew above the pebble. He leaned over and stretched out his hand to pick up the pebble, but his big hand passed through the shadow of the pebble and caught nothing.

?

He Yang, not believing it, reached back and fished it out again, and his hand passed through the boulder again.

He straightened up in confusion.

Ai Wanxin had been watching his movements, her brows slightly furrowed.

She thought for a moment, then turned over and jumped onto the little fox's back. The little fox leaped to the center of the circle in two steps.

Ai Wanxin grabbed the little fox's neck hair (sorry), leaned over and reached out, and the pebble fell into her hand.

She turned her body around, and the little fox immediately pulled up, and He Yang also followed suit and rose into the air.

The chilly north wind blew up the little fox's soft and shiny fur. Ai Wanxin stretched out her hand, and the pebble lay quietly in her palm.

"So light..." Ai Wanxin said hesitantly.

He Yang walked around her and said, "Sweetheart, this stone is so strange, do you want to test its radiation?"

Ai Wanxin handed him the pebble and asked, "How do you measure it?"

He Yang wanted to take it, but his hand passed through the boulder again.

Isn't this too weird?

The two looked at each other, He Yang clicked on the terminal on his left arm, and Ai Wanxin raised the pebble above the terminal.

The instrument indicating the radiation value on the electronic screen turned to the top with a sound.

Ai Wanxin tilted her head and asked, "What does this mean?"

He Yang said with a smile: "If my terminal is not broken, we should be rotten all over after being exposed to this intensity of radiation, and pieces of flesh will fall off piece by piece."

Ai Wanxin closed his palms, put the pebble in his pocket, looked at the leaves of the forest quickly turning yellow and falling off, and said, "I see, your terminal is broken."

Since they couldn't figure it out, the two could only go back to the car. He Yang smiled and said, "Sweetheart, is this radiation only to me, or can they have it too?"

Ai Wanxin took the pebble out of her pocket, but neither Yin Yanhan nor Pei Junlin could touch it.

He Yang was finally satisfied: "Sweetheart, it's better at carrying water than you are. You have to learn from it."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Ai Wanxin snorted and chuckled, then closed his palms and put the pebble back into his pocket.

The pebble that fell into the pocket was collected into the space with a clang.

However, the system did not make a "ding" sound.

Ai Wanxin closed her eyes and entered the space, and asked in confusion: "This thing is so weird, you don't want it?"

The system said weakly: "Yes, host, this thing is useless..."

Ai Wan asked persistently, "Look more carefully. It obviously fell from the sky. The forest around it is so lush, and I am the only one who can hold it in my hand. How can it still be useless?"

The system whispered: "This is just a toy..."

"What?" Ai Wanxin didn't hear clearly.

"This is a star ball. It's not very useful. At most it can hold some golden star wind. Although it looks nice, it also emits a lot of electromagnetic radiation."

"So you know what this thing is." Ai Wan said with certainty.
