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

Ai Wanxin lives in the only two-story building in the territory. When she opens the bedroom window, she can see a small lake and a giant turtle resting with its nose exposed in the middle of the lake.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Ai Wanxin was lying flat on the 1.8-meter bed she had taken out from the space, her soft hair spread on the pillow, and a few strands of her freshly dyed green hair were faintly visible.

Suddenly, Ai Wanxin opened her eyes and turned her head. A big golden retriever with a clear and stupid face was standing with its front paws on the edge of her bed. It was holding the round head of a kitten and dragging it out of its arms with its mouth wide open.

"You'd better be busy." Ai Wanxin said with a blank face.

The golden hound stared at her for three full seconds before reluctantly letting go of its mouth and picking up Ai Wanxin's wrist instead.

Ai Wanxin thought it wanted to be touched, so she closed her eyes sleepily and scratched its furry chin.

The golden hound squinted its eyes when being touched, and made a comfortable gurgling sound in its throat. After a while, just when Ai Wanxin was about to fall asleep again, it remembered that it still had a mission to accomplish.

It bit Ai Wanxin's hand as it was about to drop, and pulled her hand away with just the right amount of force.

Ai Wan sat up dazedly and asked, "What's wrong?"

The golden hound squatted obediently beside the bed, sweeping its big tail back and forth along the ground, but making no sound.

If it is really a big dog, it means it wants its owner to take it out to play.

But it clearly isn't.

Ai Wan thought very slowly for a while: "Your master is looking for me?"

The golden hyena opened its mouth wide, stuck out its tongue, and had a silly smile on its face.

Ai Wanxin got up and put on her clothes. She was half asleep and woke up. She looked out the window at the dark night and asked curiously, "What does Brother Pei want to talk to me about at this time?"

While she was getting out of bed, the golden hound picked up the kitten and jumped out of the building through the window.

Ai Wanxin leaned on the window frame with one hand and landed silently from the second floor. Not far away, the Bone Lord opened his scarlet eyes. Ai Wanxin shook his head slightly, letting it continue to sleep, and chased after the Golden Hound in the direction it disappeared.

Ai Wanxin kept heading west and soon saw the golden hound squatting under the earth wall, wagging its tail, with the kitten sitting steadily on its back.

The men on the wall who were keeping watch were sitting around the fire drinking warm soup, not noticing a figure nimbly leaping over two high walls and disappearing into the shadows of the ruins.

As Ai Wanxin followed Huang Jinhu into the mountains, he thought: Relying on manpower to keep watch at night is both time-consuming and costly, and has many loopholes. We have to find some other way.

Not far to the west of the territory is the endless mountains of the Qianshi Mountains. She had originally planned to include all the land at the foot of the mountain into the territory, but she had never had the time.

Now her plans have changed slightly. Blindly expanding the territory will make guarding and management more complicated. The current land is enough for the time being, so let's put this matter off for a while.

After entering the mountain, Ai Wanxin took Cixing out of the space. This area of ​​forest had not been cleared, and zombies, mutated plants, and mutated animals might pop out from anywhere.

But the strange thing is that there is not a single zombie or animal in the entire mountain except for the occasional cries of unknown birds.

After climbing over a small mountain, the temperature around me suddenly dropped by at least ten degrees.

Ai Wanxin paused and exhaled a puff of white steam. She stared at the valley in front of her. Under the clear moonlight, she saw a huge light blue ice cover, covering the entire valley like an inverted sea bowl.

"What is this?" Ai Wanxin asked puzzledly.

"Baby." Pei Junlin's smiling voice appeared in her ears.

Ai Wanxin guessed it was him, but she wasn't scared. She just turned around and asked curiously, "Little Brother Pei, what is this?"

Pei Junlin's handsome eyes curved, and he snapped his left fingers. The light blue ice cover shattered. With the crisp sound of ice cracking, the ice cover turned into tiny ice crystals, which were swept into the sky by a gentle whirlwind, and then fell like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Amidst the crystal clear rain of ice crystals, the calls of various animals can be heard from the valley.

Ai Wanxin widened her eyes slightly and looked into the valley.

The valley is about the size of dozens of football fields. There are sparse trees in it, obviously cleared, with only some low shrubs and a winding stream left.

In the nearby bushes, a dark green Ring-headed Pheasant, about as tall as a person, with its long pointed tail feathers raised, was walking with its chest puffed out and a group of chicks.

Two brown squirrels as big as wheels jumped down from a nearby pine tree, shaking their fluffy tails.

A Siberian roe deer, with two router-like antlers on its head, stood ignorantly in the woods.

A group of wild boars as big as small cars were rushing around grunting.

Red-billed blue magpies, long-eared owls, giant hedgehogs, wild hog badgers and even black swans, all kinds of animals that Ai Wanxin could name and couldn't name, were scattered in the valley, making it look like a small zoo.

"Baby, do you like the gift I promised to give you?" Pei Junlin asked softly, holding Ai Wanxin's hand.

Ai Wanxin hadn't recovered from her surprise yet: "I like it! But didn't you give me a ring before?"

"That's different. I promised you that. It's just that many non-native animals can't be found for a while, including giraffes, hippos, tigers, lions, black bears, crocodiles, snakes, and capybaras—"

"No need for snakes..." Ai Wanxin declined.

Pei Junlin said with a smile: "I knew you didn't like that kind of thing, I'll show you a cute one."

After saying that, he pulled Ai Wanxin and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next time he appeared, he was in a cave, which was about 2 meters high and 5 meters deep. Ai Wanxin took out an ordinary flashlight from the space, turned it on and saw a nest made of dry straw deep in the cave.

Four baby-sized ocelot cubs huddled together in the den, shivering as they looked at them.

Ai Wanxin's heart melted instantly.

She handed the flashlight to Pei Junlin, walked over quietly, and her voice was hoarse: "Oh, poor little thing, come and hold me--"

The little kitten who had followed the golden lion into the cave cried out in grievance after hearing this.

Ai Wanxin quickly changed her words and said, "Auntie, hold me, Auntie, hold me."

She sat down in the grass nest. The four leopard cat cubs sniffed her scent tentatively, then staggered and climbed onto her, calling mia~mia~.

Ai Wanxin took out goat milk powder and hot water from the space, and mixed the milk powder for the four cubs. They drank so much that their faces were buried in the basin, and they were so happy that their teeth were showing.

Pei Junlin squatted beside her, looked into her sparkling eyes, and whispered, "Baby, I want a kiss too."
