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

"First, regarding the reasons you mentioned for imposing a curfew in a tough manner."

"When we came down the mountain yesterday, you had already been forced out of the city and retreated to the tower, but those people were still running around in the streets of the old city with torches, searching every house for Sheng Xiuming. Why?"

Qin Tianlang was stunned. He pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because the news is not smooth...?"

"We don't rule out this possibility, but we also have to consider another possibility."

"Before this, the old city had been inaccessible for a while. Supplies in the city were in short supply. Who could guarantee that these unknown identities and temporary gatherings of hunters would not cause other troubles after breaking into other people's homes?"

Qin Tianlang was shocked. At that time, those people were shouting "Hand over Sheng Xiuming". Everyone was very angry and furious. He felt guilty, so he retreated again and again. He never thought that such a possibility would arise.

"So I made a prompt decision to declare a curfew to prevent possible riots in time. I made this decision for the stability of the old city and the safety of people's lives and property. What's the problem? Why lose the support of the people?"

"Ah?" Qin Tianlang's eyes froze slightly. How come it seemed to be true...

"Not only that, after I left you yesterday, I also asked 'people' to go door to door to stuff reassurances and arrange for the distribution of supplies today. You came down from the mountain, didn't you know anything about it?" (I won't go into detail about some of the various 'people' who have been eating and drinking for free in the space for a long time and Qin Tianlang.)

Qin Tianlang's face was stiff. After they left, he talked in detail with Sheng Xiuming and had a deep conversation with his companions. He was entangled with many thoughts all night and didn't even remember how he got to the top of the mountain. He really didn't notice this incident.

Ai Wanxin couldn't help but close her eyes. Clearly, when he tried to trick her into going down the mountain to rescue Sheng Xiuming yesterday, her mind was still clear. Why was she so determined at that time, but when she thought about it afterwards, she felt sorry for this and that?

It's so worrying that I have to work part-time as a psychologist.

She went on to say, "Suppose that if I had not come to Frost City and had not stopped the resurrection ceremony and the opening of the Hell Well in time, all the people would have died from exhaustion of vitality or from the invasion of demons."

"Because of my presence, everyone can survive. This is one of the reasons."

"Secondly, I used the Holy Spirit Blade to purify this piece of land. Now and in the future, its phantom will guard this land and protect the people of Frost City from the threat of zombies."

"Third, I will help Frost City build a base. Of course, your plan will play a very important role. But at the same time, I will help Frost City transform the land suitable for farming and build factories for the base to maintain daily life."

"So, rather than your inexplicable worry that I will lose the support of the people, you must be more worried about the residents of Frost City who are afraid of losing my protection."

"I didn't mean to say that I can do whatever I want because of this, but you are really thinking too much."

Qin Tianlang was shocked by the calmness of absolute power in her words.

After hearing these words, even though he felt ashamed to say so, he did feel relieved.

Ai Wanxin saw that his knot had been untied, and nodded: "I have already solved my part for you, and you have to figure out the rest for yourself."

"But I want to remind you that you just said that you owe me a life, so I don't care how they judge you or punish you in Frost City, you have to keep your life for me."

Qin Tianlang tightened his jaw and raised his hand to give a standard military salute.

Ai Wanxin stood up and looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the huge French window: "I have transferred some sentries for you from other places. You don't have to go with us to the 9th Mountain Division's base. Just arrange the affairs of Frost City with peace of mind."

“Remember, things will go smoothly if you take it easy, and things will go smoothly if you take it easy. I believe you can handle this matter well, so don’t let me down.

Qin Tianlang put down his hand and said in a deep voice: "I understand."

After Qin Tianlang left, Ai Wanxin held a small meeting with the four of them, the topic of which was who would stay in Frost City today.

It is known that Qiong and Jing cannot both go, lest they get angry and develop grudges against each other.

Since Qin Tianlang was not going, He Yang, who was familiar with the Ninth Mountain Division, had to go.

He Yang, who got the ticket, leaned back on the sofa with a big smile: "Professional strength, there's nothing I can do."

Pei Junlin smiled and said, "Now that the military's communications have been restored, you can also stay and give us information remotely, right? Besides, I think it will be much easier to do ideological work if there is a lieutenant colonel in the city."

"It seems to make sense..." Ai Wanxin thought about it seriously.

He Yang stood up anxiously: "Sweetheart, I don't know if this communication will work after entering the mountain. If it doesn't work when the time comes, won't we be at a loss?"

This reason was indeed very sufficient, Ai Wanxin nodded, and his ticket to the show was safely kept.

He Yang then breathed a sigh of relief.

It was also known that even if Yin Yanhan stayed, he might not even raise his eyelids before the explosion of Frost City, so Pei Junlin, who seemed very friendly, was kept.

He Yang looked at him in a very comfortable mood: "Oh, there is nothing we can do. It's because we look fierce. Goodwill ambassadors must play their role well~"

Finally, while Jing had not returned yet, Ai Wanxin took Yin Yanhan, He Yang and Tuoba Qing, left the old city, and headed westward into the vast mountains of Yidongling according to the coordinates given by Qin Tianlang.

The winding Yidongling Mountain Range was completely covered by the previous heavy snow.

According to the coordinates given by Qin Tianlang, they didn't have to spend much effort to see a group of buildings in the mountains from afar.

The four of them landed on a relatively spacious flat ground, and Ai Wanxin looked around intently.

Under the deep snow, the broken walls revealed steel bars as sharp as claws. The broken concrete buildings that were not buried had broken doors and windows and charred walls, as if they had been burned by fire.

He Yang walked to a low wall and reached out to touch the circular crack in the wall.

The crack slowly shrank, spitting a bright copper shell out of the wall.

He Yang only took a glance and said, "These are bullets used by the M4A1 equipped by the mountain division infantry. Shooting at the garrison means something happened here."

"If a zombie apocalypse breaks out, there's a high probability of shooting. It's just that there are weapons in the military camp, so the chance of survival should be much higher than in the city. Why does it seem like there's no one here?" Ai Wan wondered.

It’s no wonder she felt strange. In the huge camp, the only sound was the whistling of the north wind blowing the remaining snow.

"Besides, if the entire army was wiped out due to a zombie outbreak, how come we didn't see even a single zombie?"

There was something strange going on here, and it was impossible to restore the truth of the matter just by thinking about it. He Yang suggested, "Let's go to the command center and take a look."
