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

The streets of the old city are narrow, and the slopes are paved with bumpy bluestone slabs. The melted snow mixed with ice chips are swamped in the dents created by years of trampling, making the roads dirty and muddy.

The shivering women supported each other and moved forward towards the top of the mountain, taking one step forward and one step back.

"Ah——" Someone not far away slipped and fell, letting out a scream.

Maybe she fell quite seriously. Even though people around her helped her up, she was unable to get up for a long time, and the queue behind her was blocked.

The armed guards who were pushing the crowd forward on the roadside parted the line and squeezed forward, cursing: "What are you doing? Get moving."

"Ouch! Ouch! My legs..." The person who fell was a lady in her fifties or sixties. Her face was sallow, her short gray hair was messy and stuck to her head, and she kept wailing.

"Brother, it seems her leg is broken." The girl who tried to pull her up but failed said earnestly to the guard, "The mountain road is difficult to walk on. I'm afraid she can't make it up the mountain like this."

The guard glanced at the old woman with his triangular eyes and said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. All women have to go up the mountain. Not even one can be left out. A broken leg doesn't mean you're dead. Hurry up and get up!"

The girl wanted to fight for her aunt, but Triangle Eyes threw the submachine gun he was carrying in front of him, pulled the safety catch with a click, and shouted, "Hurry up, she has to climb up today even if she has to crawl!"

When the people surrounding the lady saw the black muzzle of the gun, they all took two steps back in fear. Some of them couldn't help but scream, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Ai Wanxin heard the commotion ahead from afar and ordered, "Go check it out."

Big Beard didn't dare to delay. He led the way and rushed to the place where the conflict occurred.

However, someone got there before them.

"Who taught you to point the gun at your compatriots?" A pair of hands stretched out from the side, the left thumb was stuck in the trigger, the right hand held the gun barrel and lifted it up to the sky, and the left elbow pressed on the elbow of the triangle eye.

Before Triangle Eyes could react, he let out a "wow" and was disarmed neatly.

The man who snatched his gun was a rather large man with a large grey scarf covering his head, face and upper body.

Originally, he was hunched over among the crowd, and even though people around him were a little suspicious of his body shape, they would not make a fuss. But this time, he opened his mouth to speak and immediately became the focus of attention.

The disarmed Triangle Eyes was furious: "What are you doing here as a man? Who are you? Show me your face!"

The man quickly removed the magazine from the submachine gun and inserted it into his lower back. He then disassembled the barrel and buttstock, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "I just want to witness the goddess's resurrection power, nothing else."

Triangle Eyes grabbed the whistle hanging around his neck and glared at him, saying, "Show me your face!"

The bearded man had already brought Ai Wanxin closer. When the man with triangular eyes saw him, he hurriedly called out, "Lao Mo, keep an eye on him!"

Lao Mo was in a dilemma. He looked back at Ai Wanxin, but didn't dare to move without her consent.

He thought about it, and could only move closer to Triangle Eyes, laughing and saying, "What's going on? The traffic is so bad back there. If this delays the city lord's business, it will be terrible."

Triangle Eyes leaned close to his ear and said through gritted teeth: "Do you think it could be him?"

Lao Mo shuddered and turned to look at the man in front of him.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Isn't this... isn't this Qin Tianlang, who the city lord has issued a strict wanted order?

Although he wrapped himself up like a dumpling, he was the head of the guard team before he broke with the city lord. Is there anyone who can't recognize his figure?

Lao Mo felt dizzy. He had already lost too much blood and was terrified, and now he had run into this evil star.

If it had been in the past, he would have immediately opened fire and taken away this great credit.

But now he has the mark of the real resurrected goddess on his body, while the city lord serves the fake resurrected goddess. The real goddess is about to deal with the fake goddess, and maybe even the city lord as well. So, will he still care about the city lord's mortal enemy?

Lao Mo's mind had never worked so fast in his life. He laughed stiffly and said, "How is it possible? The whole city is under martial law. Not only can't even a fly fly in through the gate, but even if the hillside is surrounded by 'that', he can't get up. What are you imagining?"

Triangle Eyes glanced at Lao Mo suspiciously. How could he not recognize Qin Tianlang? Could it be that this guy was a traitor? !

The palms of his hands holding the whistle were sweating profusely. His gun was confiscated by Qin Tianlang. If Lao Mo was a traitor, then he would be attacked from all sides and would die here soon?

The man in a scarf opposite him turned sideways and his eyes met with Ai Wanxin who was standing not far away.

Ai Wanxin originally had no idea what the man with the big beard and the triangular eyes were talking about, but when she saw the man's bright eyes, she immediately understood.

This was the iron giant they met in the new city, Qin Tianlang.

He got in too?

Everyone present had their own thoughts, and the air froze for a moment, but Qin Tianlang was the first to break the deadlock.

He raised his hand and removed the scarf that was covering his face.

"I'm afraid of scaring people." Qin Tianlang said in a deep voice.

The crowd around gasped, Triangle Eyes and Lao Mo widened their eyes and looked at each other in shock.

Ai Wanxin frowned slightly and looked at Qin Tianlang's face.

His face looked like it had just been burned. It was covered with huge blisters, the charred flesh was turned inside out, and some of the broken blisters were oozing tissue fluid.

His thick black eyebrows were all burned off, and there was almost no good skin on his face except for his eyes.

How could this be?

But his face was so damaged that it was almost impossible to identify who he was from his appearance.

Lao Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He shouted in a bluffing voice, "What's wrong with your face? Is it infected?"

Qin Tianlang shook his head: "He fainted from hunger and fell into the fire, not infected."

Seeing the two men cooperating, Triangle Eyes felt so angry that his heart bled. However, he was alone and did not dare to speak out. He immediately said, "If you are afraid of scaring people, go back and don't join in the fun."

Qin Tianlang pointed at the lady on the ground and said, "I'll carry her up the mountain and come down."

Triangle Eyes knew that he was going to cause trouble at the festival, but then he thought, if he went to the festival and then he reported the news to the city lord, wouldn't that be like catching a turtle in a jar?

It's much easier to deal with than letting him wander around the city.

Triangle Eyes immediately said, "Give me back my gun, hurry up, and don't block the way here."

Qin Tianlang returned the disassembled submachine gun to Triangle Eyes, but seemed to have forgotten about the magazine.

Triangle Eyes naturally didn't mention it. He just watched Qin Tianlang carry his girlfriend on his back and stride up the mountain.

His eyes rolled and he turned into a narrow alley, preparing to take a shortcut up the mountain to report the news.

In the empty alley, a brisk voice suddenly sounded beside his ears: "You're walking so fast, is a ghost chasing you?"
