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

Ai Wanxin pursed her lips. Three years of survival in the apocalypse taught her the first rule: take care of yourself and mind your own business.

But obviously, Pei Junlin, whose mental state had not yet completely changed, did not understand this.

"There's someone over there." He said worriedly.

Seeing his reluctant expression, Ai Wanxin compromised and said, "You can give them a ride, but don't use your superpowers. You have to be on guard against others."

Pei Junlin nodded in response, turned the car under the sign, lowered the window and half leaned out to shout to those people: "Jump down, I'll take you out."

A searchlight installed on the roof illuminated the trapped people.

Standing in the front was a bald man with a belly bigger than a watermelon, his upper body naked, and a thick gold chain around his neck.

A tall and strong old woman next to him was holding a large red plastic basin to shelter him from the rain.

There were a few people behind, and Ai Wanxin's vision was blocked so he couldn't see clearly. He only heard what sounded like a child crying.

"Brother, can you come up and give me a hand? My dad has bad legs and feet." The bald man shouted in a rough voice.

Pei Junlin hesitated for a moment and was about to go out, but Ai Wanxin grabbed his arm and shook his head.

Pei Junlin raised his head and said loudly: "Come down by yourselves, hurry up, you won't be able to get out in a while."

The old woman next to the bald man screamed, "How can you save people like this? I've already told you that my legs are not good, and you, a grown man, will die if you carry me on your back, right?"

Ai Wanxin got angry after hearing this, rolled down the car window and yelled at her: "Want to go or not? Try to beep again and see?"

The old woman yelled, "How can a girl like you talk to an old man like that?"

"I told you to come up and carry the people down. We have old and young here. I don't want to kill you. If you have the time, everyone will go down. You are leaving us in the rain. I tell you, if my grandson gets gooseflesh, you will be responsible!"

Ai Wanxin took a deep breath, turned around and said to Pei Junlin: "Let's go."

Pei Junlin didn't say anything and drove away as soon as he turned the steering wheel.

The people on the roof were getting anxious. The bald man pulled the old woman and complained, "Can you please say less?"

After that, he grabbed a girl of about seven or eight years old from behind and shouted, "Brother, brother, I have a child here. Please be kind and take us with you. We can go down by ourselves."

Then he pushed the girl and shouted, "Hurry up and beg uncle. Kowtow to uncle."

The little girl was as thin as a matchstick. She cried, "Uncle, aunt, please save me and my mother!"

The old woman was furious when she heard this, and she pulled her over and slapped her: "You ungrateful bastard, you want your father and us to die, right?"

The girl burst into tears after being beaten. The girl's mother rushed over and pulled the child behind her. She was holding a two or three-year-old child in her arms and was crying out of breath.

Ai Wanxin was overwhelmed by what she saw. Pei Junlin leaned forward and shouted, "Stop it, I'll give you one minute. If you don't come down, we'll leave."

"Also, whoever dares to do this again will have to swim out on their own."

A flood is not like a swimming pool of the same depth. If you fall into the water, there is basically no way to survive.

The old man who had been appearing in the mouths of the bald man and his mother finally spoke up: "Is this the time to have a quarrel? Go away."

Pei Junlin and Ai Wanxin looked at each other, and only reversed the car when they saw that they had really calmed down.

The trunk of the car hit the sign of Ah Fu Stir-Fry. The old woman was about to get angry, but the old man glared at her and she didn't dare to say anything.

The bald man first jumped onto the roof of the rear trunk, picked up his father, then his mother, then took the son from his daughter-in-law's arms and handed him to his mother, then a few packages, and finally his daughter and daughter-in-law.

When the Unimog's trunk was modified, an exit was installed on the roof.

Pei Junlin climbed to the back seat, opened the small door leading to the rear compartment, and opened the opening of the roof from inside.

He was kind enough to help them get down the escalator and close the roof. Just as he was about to return to the driver's seat to drive, the old woman grabbed his arm.

"Give me some towels, hot water, and food. My grandson is freezing."

Pei Junlin saw that the little boy was so cold that his face turned pale. He hugged his mother's neck and couldn't even cry. He felt really pitiful and said softly, "Wait a moment."

Ai Wanxin had heard their conversation a long time ago, and could tell that Pei Junlin had softened his heart.

She had previously bought many food-grade plastic containers and various thermoses and cups, and would boil water and store it in the space when she had nothing to do.

After all, energy is precious after the apocalypse, and if you want some hot water you have to exchange it for something, so I stored a lot while I had the free time.

At this time, she took out a small thermos from the space, two still hot egg burgers, wrapped them in oil paper and put them into the trunk.

As soon as I entered the trunk, the egg burger covered with sauce gave off an enticing aroma.

This thing is delicious enough to eat normally, let alone for people who were soaked by the rain and hungry. When the bald man and the old woman saw it, their eyes widened immediately.

When Pei Junlin saw her coming, his eyes lit up and he took the thermos from her hand and handed it to the mother holding the child.

The little girl who was holding her mother's clothes took it with both hands sensibly, bowed and said, "Thank you, uncle, thank you, auntie."

After saying that, he skillfully found an iron basin from the things they brought down, poured hot water into it, took off the handkerchief pinned on his chest, rinsed it, wrung it dry, and handed it to his mother.

The old woman glanced at the cake in Ai Wanxin's hand with her chamfered eyes. She swallowed and said, "Just two cakes? This is not enough. Look for more. Biscuits and bread are fine. We are not picky."

Ai Wanxin sneered, beckoned the little girl over, and stuffed two cakes into her hands: "Be good, these are for you and mommy, don't let others take them away."

The old woman immediately said anxiously: "Why does she eat cakes? The child won't die if he goes hungry for two meals. I have diabetes, I will really die if I don't eat!"

After saying that, she was about to grab it, but Pei Junlin blocked her with his arm and said coldly, "Don't make a move."

The old woman was frightened by his aura and dared not move for a moment.

Pei Junlin turned to the little girl and said gently: "Take it, it's for you and your mother. If anyone dares to snatch it, uncle will throw her out of the car."

The little girl's eyes, which had been dull all the time, finally brightened up. She bowed to the two again, returned to her mother with the oil-paper package, and held it to her mother's mouth: "Mom, take a bite, it's delicious."

Her mother was a middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion and a slim figure. She didn't look much fatter than the little girl.

She glanced at her husband and mother-in-law with some fear, and said softly, "Baby, eat by yourself. Mommy is not hungry."

The little girl held up the oil-paper package persistently, and her mother took a bite.

Ai Wanxin stood with her arms folded and said to Pei Junlin, "Drive. I'll stay here and watch to see who snatches food from the kids."

Pei Junlin looked at her with a smile in his eyes. He nodded and turned back to the driver's seat.

After a while, the car started, and Ai Wanxin watched the little girl and her mother eating the egg burger, taking bites from each other.

The old man who had been silent all this time suddenly asked, "Are you two the only ones driving this car?"

Ai Wanxin frowned and glanced at him without answering.

The old man and the bald man looked at each other quickly, and then turned their heads away.

Ai Wanxin watched the little girl lick the oil paper until it looked like new. She folded the paper with a reluctant look and put it in her pocket.

Ai Wanxin raised her chin: "There is one more, eat it."

The little girl raised her head and whispered, "Thank you, Auntie. I'm full."

Ai Wanxin knew that she was afraid, so she didn't insist. After all, if she and Pei Junlin left, this family would definitely abuse her and her mother.

Ai Wanxin nodded slightly: "I'll drop you off when we get to the city, take a rest first."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go back to the cockpit.

The accident happened in an instant. The bald man and the old man who had been sitting crookedly near the driver's seat suddenly jumped up.

The bald man rushed over and grabbed Ai Wanxin's upper body, and the old man hugged her legs.

Ai Wanxin was suddenly unable to move.
