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

Zhu Taihe led them through the maze-like corridor for about a quarter of an hour, during which a faint stench of foul smell could be smelled.

Ai Wanxin sniffed slightly and felt that this smell was different from the fishy and rotten smell of zombies. It was more like swill that had been fermenting for half a month or garbage that had been piled up for a summer. You could tell that this was an area of ​​human activity, but the smell was not very pleasant.

Tuoba Qiong turned his head and whispered in her ear: "Put on a gas mask."

He didn't explain the reason, but Ai Wanxin listened to his advice very well and took out the gas mask from the space and put it on without any idol baggage.

This time she handed gas masks to the three people, and they all took them very silently, and no one refused.

Because the stench was getting stronger and stronger, almost to the point where it was hard to breathe.

Ai Wanxin looked at the three people putting on their masks and smiled behind their masks. She had already decided that after she got out, she must take a photo with them as a souvenir.

In front of us, the giant cockroach that Zhu Taihe had merged with stopped with its six long legs covered with small steel spikes. His hoarse voice came out indistinctly: "We're here."

After saying that, the giant cockroach crawled out of the hole at the end of the tunnel, crawled down along the wall outside the hole, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ai Wanxin heard a familiar rustling sound. She took two steps forward and stood at the end of the corridor.

There was a huge black space in front of me. The endless rustling sounds gathered in this empty space into an echo that made my scalp tingle.

Her sentinels stood on either side of her. Tuoba Qing swept the high-intensity flashlight in his hand toward the outside of the cave entrance. The originally dazzling beam of light fell into the huge space in front of him and seemed to dim a bit.

With the help of the flashlight, Ai Wanxin found the giant cockroach again.

It stuck to the ground like a square boat, breaking through the thick black waves on the ground and crawling quickly towards a white area in the center.

On the black surface of the waves that reflected the oily sheen, countless thread-like tentacles swayed nimbly, and cockroaches of varying sizes were climbing on each other, crawling around tirelessly.

From time to time, a few cockroaches that were stepped on would spread the double wings on their backs and take off from their brothers and sisters, like a few waves splashing in the waves.

The white area in the center of the ground is half surrounded by hundreds of black "pods" more than one meter tall.

Since this is their nest...

Ai Wanxin's face wrinkled in pain inside the gas mask. Those black "pods" must be the egg sheaths of cockroaches...

That white area is naturally full of newly hatched cockroach larvae.

It's just because the larvae's bodies are white and translucent, and countless of them are stacked together, so they look whitish.

Ai Wan murmured with a hopeless heart: "There are three things you must think about in life: think of danger, think of retreat, and think of change. What I mean is, why did I come to such a dangerous place? Should I leave? I will never do this again. Don't you think it makes sense?"

The three sentinels were dazed for a moment, and He Yang said stutteringly: "Sweetheart...sweetheart, is this the explanation for this sentence?"

"Yeah." Ai Wanxin nodded firmly.

On the other side, the giant cockroach had crawled to the area in the center where a bunch of cockroach larvae gathered. It used its long legs to sweep away the pile of larvae in the center. On the ground, a dark gray rock the size of a five-door wardrobe slowly rose from the ground.

The giant cockroach opened its pincer-like jaws and bit the rock with a snap. The cockroach larvae nearby followed suit and slowly crawled all over the rock.

The rock covered with translucent larvae became smaller and smaller, and finally, the giant cockroach dragged a black computer case off the rock base.

Tuoba Qing glanced at Ai Wanxin and saw her nod. He took the lead and stepped out of the cave, walking in the air above the cockroach nest.

Ai Wanxin, Yin Yanhan and He Yang walked out one after another.

The small cockroaches in the nest were ready to move. Many of them spread the two layers of wings on their backs, ready to pounce on the uninvited guests who broke into their nests. The antennae on the head of the giant cockroach trembled rapidly, suppressing the commotion of the small cockroaches.

Tuoba Qiong lifted the giant cockroach and the black computer case into the air.

Ai Wan thought to herself with a smile that even though her feet, head and walls were crawling with cockroaches, as long as she didn't step into the pile of cockroaches, the incident would have never happened.

Zhu Taihe stretched his head out of the giant cockroach's mouth again. He looked at the black computer case beside him and said in a hoarse voice, "I have saved the most important information of the 9th Mountain Division and the key videos of the camp during that period in here."

Ai Wanxin's eyes lit up: "There is also a video?"

Zhu Taihe nodded tiredly: "Yes, I realized something was wrong at the time, but I couldn't disobey the orders of my superiors, so I took the initiative to secretly leave a backup of the camp's surveillance."

"Then I was eaten by this cockroach, but somehow I didn't die and I became one with it."

"I was originally an earth sentinel, and it inherited my ability. I found a way to drag the server in the central equipment room underground and sealed it in rocks. I hope the truth will come out one day in the future."

"But soon, the lack of guidance caused my mind to go berserk, and I lost all my human rationality, and I also lost control of this body."

"If you hadn't appeared and restored my consciousness, all my efforts before would have been in vain."

Ai Wanxin stared at him and said, "From what you said, the destruction of the Ninth Mountain Division didn't seem to be a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster?"

He Yang had just been carefully looking at the black server in front of Zhu Taihe. He interrupted and said, "Sweetheart, I can find a way to export the data from it, but I need a power source."

Ai Wanxin nodded. She took out a fully charged mobile power bank from the space. After connecting the power bank, He Yang connected the terminal on his arm to the server. A holographic projection appeared in the air, projecting a green progress bar, showing the progress of data transmission, which was advancing at a rapid speed.

Seeing the mobile power bank appearing out of nowhere in front of him, Zhu Taihe showed a hint of surprise on his pale face.

"How is this done...?" he asked.

"It's my ability." Ai Wanxin simply answered his question, "So, what happened to the Ninth Mountain Division?"

Zhu Taihe came back to his senses and stared into Ai Wanxin's eyes.

During the time when he lost consciousness, his memory was very vague and confused, so at first, he only thought that Ai Wanxin was a high-level guide.

While he was circling underground just now, he gained some missing memories from the mind of the cockroach that had merged with him.

Only then did he realize that Ai Wanxin was not only a guide, but also possessed fire-related abilities.

She is also a sentinel.

This is simply unheard of.

And now, she can even take out things out of thin air that she doesn't know where they are hidden. Her ability can almost be described as unpredictable.

Maybe... maybe she can really avenge the soldiers of the 9th Mountain Division who died in vain!
