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

He Yang advised: "We will be back soon, you just need to turn on the equipment here."

Yang Yuqiu shook his head: "Once the instrument is turned on, it only has 10 seconds of operation time. After it is turned off again, you need to return to the Guanghui City Science Academy to get authorization from Professor Yan before you can turn it on again."

He Yang frowned. These old guys from Guanghui City regarded the meteorite as their own thing?

Ai Wanxin, who had listened to their conversation, leaned her head out of the car window and nodded to He Yang.

He Yang was startled, then reacted and subconsciously followed Ai Wanxin's instructions and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Yang Yuqiu had her back to her and did not see their conversation.

Ai Wan got out of the car in a heartbeat and walked around the transport truck. She lifted the tarpaulin on the transport truck, revealing the true appearance of the energy shielding device.

It was a huge square metal object that weighed at least one ton. It would obviously take a lot of effort to carry it to the island.

Ai Wanxin walked over to He Yang and Yang Yuqiu and said, "Oh, this instrument is very heavy. It's very inconvenient to carry it with you. He Yang, go get it yourself. We'll wait for you here."

There was a hint of doubt in He Yang's dark eyes: Don't you want the meteorite anymore?

Ai Wanxin condemned him with her eyes calmly: You almost led me into a trap. You and I went to get the meteorite, but it disappeared. Either you took it or I took it. So many people know about your meteorite, aren't you looking for trouble for me?

He Yang raised his eyebrows: Who dares to do anything to you while I am here?

Ai Wanxin glared at him: Come on, you are the one who is always causing trouble for me, just move aside, I will take care of it.

He Yang could only say, "I understand. I'll get it myself."

Yang Yuqiu saw all the flirting between the two. Her eyes dimmed for a moment and she quickly turned her head away.

After He Yang left, Ai Wanxin looked at the silent Yang Yuqiu and said, "It's tiring to just wait. Let's go for a walk over there."

Yang Yuqiu was somewhat at a loss. She had grown up in Guanghui City, the capital of Yan Country, and received an elite education where propriety and decency were of utmost importance. But at the same time, the distance between people became very far. She felt a little overwhelmed by Ai Wanxin's familiar attitude.

But she nodded good-naturedly.

The two men walked down the roadbed one after the other and walked to a place where the sentries could not hear them.

Bored with waiting, Qi Tongtian and Jiang Baota got off the bus and gathered together. Qi Tongtian gossiped, "What do they have to talk about?"

Jiang Baota shook his head and said, "Maybe he made an appointment to go to the toilet. Don't look at him anymore."

Ah Huo stood behind the two of them, and said in a haunting voice, "You don't know this? I'll just say one thing. When we set out, Guide Yang was brought here by a car, but she got off the car before we reached the camp. Guess why?"

Qi Tongtian said unhappily: "Don't keep me in suspense, just speak frankly."

Ah Huo snorted and laughed, "Can't I take a breath? In short, the license plate number of the car that brought her here starts with the letters YA."

Jiang Baota narrowed his eyes. YA is the license plate code of the Yanbei War Zone Command.

The Yanbei War Zone is the first of the four major war zones in Yan State, and the commander of the war zone happens to be named He.

They had all heard the rumors that the special forces soldier Wang He Yang in the Marine Corps was not only extremely powerful, but also had an extremely distinguished background.

Although these are just rumors circulating among the people, there is always a smoke screen.

"So..." Qi Tongtian asked.

Ah Huo snorted frivolously and said, "If a fickle but beautiful and flamboyant vixen meets the daughter-in-law chosen by Kaizi's family, what do you think they will talk about?"

----------

"I saw your mother for the last time in the Old Dragon's Nest."

Before Ai Wanxin finished speaking, Yang Yuqiu shuddered and stopped.

She turned around and grabbed Ai Wanxin's arms, her voice trembling with excitement: "My mother, my mother——"

He wanted to know whether his mother was alive or dead, but he couldn't bring himself to ask the question.

Ai Wanxin shook her head gently, and Yang Yuqiu's eyes went dark. She felt the world spinning around her. Her heart fell into an ice cave like a weight, and she fell softly to the ground.

Ai Wanxin quickly picked her up and helped her sit on the gravel nearby.

Yang Yuqiu's tears silently flowed down her face. She covered her eyes and her thin shoulders trembled violently.

Ai Wanxin held her in her arms and patted her back gently.

In the distance, Ah Huo showed an expected obscene smile: "Look, the vixen must have told Guide Yang every detail of her affair with Kaizi, maybe even how it happened."

Ai Wanxin saved Jiang Baota and Qi Tongtian. As Ah Huo's words became more and more obscene, Jiang Baota angrily scolded him, "You've eaten shit and your mouth is so dirty!"

Before he could say anything more, Pei Junlin appeared behind Ah Huo like a ghost. It was rare that he didn't smile. He put his arm around Ah Huo's shoulder and said, "Can I have a word with you?"

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot with Ah Huo.

Jiang Baota and Qi Tongtian were stunned, and then they saw Yin Yanhan and Tuoba Qiong also walking towards the woods with frosty faces.

The two looked at each other and thought to themselves that something was not right.

Jiang Baota made a prompt decision and pointed at Ai Wanxin and Yang Yuqiu in the distance: "Go and call for help."

He himself ran quickly to catch up with him.

Yang Yuqiu cried silently, but she quickly cheered up, looked at Ai Wanxin, and asked with a sob, "Did she suffer?"

Ai Wanxin paused for a moment and said, "I didn't suffer much."

Yang Yuqiu's lips trembled slightly as she asked, "Does she have something to tell you?"

Ai Wanxin nodded. She thought for a moment and said, "Your mother took five students into the mountains, and two of them survived. She wants you to sell her inheritance to compensate the families of these students."

Yang Yuqiu bit her lip and said, "I will. Even though the money is useless now, I will definitely find a way to compensate them."

"Your mother also asked me to tell you that she loves you very much." Ai Wanxin continued.

Yang Yuqiu seemed to be knocked unconscious by a blow to the head. For a few seconds, he even forgot to breathe.

She turned around and threw herself into Ai Wanxin's arms, finally unable to hold back her tears: "That day...the day she left, I was very panicked. I asked her not to go, but she said it was important, this time was very important."

"I got angry at her. I said that from childhood to adulthood, she had always said it was very important. She even went on a business trip when I had a fever. I asked her if she didn't love me at all and if my existence delayed her career."

"Ah——" Pain and regret almost drowned Yang Yuqiu. She hugged Ai Wanxin tightly, as if she was holding on to the only piece of driftwood on the ocean. It seemed that if she let go, she would fall into the abyss from which there was no return.
