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

On the top floor of a building far away from Lingdian Mountain in Shuangcheng New Town, Qiao Fengyu put down the telescope and asked with a gloomy face, "Did you take pictures of everything?"

Ji Lanlan was still a little dazed. She looked at the ruined Frost City with a dazed expression: "Are we hallucinating?"

"I took the picture, Brother Qiao."

You Hongda used a head-mounted controller to bring back the small swarm of drones from the sky.

Of course, he only managed to recover a tiny fraction of it.

Just now, in order to capture the scene more clearly, Qiao Fengyu ordered him to let the swarm of bees move infinitely closer to the center of the battlefield. As a result, it was naturally indiscriminately cleansed by meteorite fire, lightning, dragon breath, monsters and various skills.

Fortunately, the captured images were transmitted back in real time.

Qiao Fengyu frowned and looked through several battlefield clips.

Ji Lanlan asked cautiously: "Brother Qiao, what are we shooting this for?"

Qiao Fengyu said coldly: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, just do your own thing."

Ji Lanlan’s face froze.

Ever since Jing left, Qiao Fengyu no longer had a good face towards her. He either ignored her or spoke coldly to her. She was always blamed and her life was very difficult.

You Hongda exchanged a helpless look with her, stepped forward and said, "Brother Qiao, you said Jing might come to find them, so you asked Lanlan to follow them here."

"But even if we find Jing now, with the abilities of this group of people, we simply can't capture Jing from them, right?"

In fact, he wanted to say that even if there was no such group of people, they would not be able to touch a hair of Jing, but Qiao Fengyu would definitely be furious, and he did not want to make things difficult for himself and Lanlan.

Qiao Fengyu had a gloomy face and did not answer.

Ji Lanlan really couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere around him, so she walked to a position close to the parapet and stared quietly in the direction of Lingdian Mountain.

Her cheeks suddenly felt cold, and when she looked up, she saw that the wind and snow had extinguished the raging flames burning in Lingdian Mountain and the new city, and were slowly spreading to where they were.

The blond man who hurt her passed through the sky over the new city like a meteor.

Ji Lanlan's heart moved.

If Jing can go to them, can she...?

"Lanlan." You Hongda's rough voice sounded behind her, "Don't take it to heart."

He slapped Ji Lanlan's shoulder with his fan-like hand and almost pushed her down the stairs.

Ji Lanlan looked back and saw that Qiao Fengyu had already left the top floor. She said with a gloomy face, "Why is Brother Qiao filming this?"

You Hongda guessed: "Is it sent to the group leader?"

Ji Lanlan said puzzledly: "Why send it to the team leader? This is not our mission."

You Hongda shook his head. Ever since the mutation happened, Brother Qiao had become more and more suspicious and self-willed. Not only was he wary of Jing, he was also very cautious about him and would not let him get involved in any contact with the higher-ups.

"Such a big thing has happened. Since we have encountered it, there is no harm in reporting it. Maybe that's what he thought."

You Hongda’s speculation was only one aspect of the story. In fact, on the night Jing defected, Qiao Fengyu reported the entire incident.

In his description, the failure of the mission was naturally due to Jing's self-willed decision and disobedience to orders. There was even a hint of the possibility that Jing and the group of sentinels secretly traded and embezzled the mission items.

In his imagination, the Blue Fox Corps would surely come out in full force to punish this traitor who dared to leave the organization.

However, to his surprise, not long after the commander received his report, he issued a mission to track and monitor the group of sentinels, without mentioning any punishment for Jing.

When he asked again, the leader said that this was a direct order from the founder, the "Crown of Thorns", ordering him to make sure this matter was done well, and perhaps he could be forgiven for his lax governance.

Did even the founder know about it?

Qiao Fengyu was both angry and worried. It was clearly the fault of that arrogant guy, but he caused him to suffer in front of the founder and the leader, which made him remember it deeply in his heart.

At this time, he sent what happened in Frost City to the captain via an encrypted telegram. Soon, his terminal vibrated slightly and received a holographic video call request from the captain.

"Aren't satellite communications down...?"

Qiao Fengyu answered the call in doubt. He stood straight and looked at the image of a man projected in the air in front of him.

The man's face was specially processed by the communication terminal, and what appeared before his eyes was the face of an ordinary young man. Even his voice was unremarkable.

"Captain Qiao, you mentioned in your telegram that you had captured footage of the scene. Send it over now."

Qiao Fengyu quickly uploaded the image through the terminal and waited anxiously for the team leader's next instructions.

The communication was not cut off. The team leader looked away, obviously looking at the footage they had captured.

Qiao Fengyu couldn't help but say, "Captain, what happened here is too bizarre. There was even a dragon-like creature crawling out of the clouds. You asked me to follow the sentinels. Did you know there was something wrong with them?"

The leader raised his hand as a gesture to stop him.

He turned his eyes back to her: "You don't need to know this."

Qiao Fengyu clenched his hands behind his back, but still said, "Yes, Captain."

The team leader nodded: "It was filmed very clearly, this was done well."

Qiao Fengyu was delighted, and then he heard the team leader continue: "Now there is a very important task that cannot be delayed. Since you are the team closest to Frost City, this task will not be issued within the organization. I will give it to you directly."

Qiao Fengyu was startled: "What mission?"

"Sneak into the old city, find out the current situation in the city, find Sheng Xiuming, and get in touch with him."

"So... the Hellwell formation is closed, but the torn channel has not completely healed. The plague of decay in the Land of Evil Spirits will continue to spread until all living beings are turned into undead?" Ai Wanxin asked with a blank face.

Tuoba Qing nodded.

"I have a question," she said, confused, "Since the Hellwell leads to the Land of Evil Spirits, why did you tell me before that we should open them all up?"

The appearance of zombies means that a crack has appeared on the boundary of this world, and the evil aura of the land of evil spirits is eroding this space and time.

Only by opening up the Hell Well, sending the demons and undead back to the Land of Evil Spirits, and using the energy of the Crown of the Stars to purify and heal the wounds of this world, can order and balance between heaven and earth be restored.

Just like Asaiah once did.

Before he could figure out how to explain, Jing asked in confusion, "Brother, why didn't you tell me about the man you met in the cave?"
