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

In mid-air, the green progress bar displayed by the holographic projection reached the end, and countless pages of scrolling data and dynamic images suddenly unfolded in mid-air.

Zhu Taihe stared at one of the images with a solemn look, and said, "After the zombie outbreak, the 70th Mountain Division suffered heavy losses, with more than % casualties. However, some of the remaining soldiers mutated into sentinels. After an arduous battle, they finally stabilized the situation and rescued many residents of Frost City and surrounding areas."

"We requested support from the military, but received no response."

He paused, his eyes falling on one of the images.

"About 20 days ago, a man suddenly came to the camp."

He Yang followed his line of sight and enlarged the video he was looking at.

A tall and beautiful figure appeared on the holographic projection.

She was a woman with a low bun, wearing a white slim cashmere coat, a pair of sheepskin boots, and holding a silver metal suitcase in her hands. She was standing quietly at the gate of the camp.

Ai Wanxin felt a little strange, because it was rare to see people dressed so neatly in the apocalypse.

He Yang frowned. For some reason, he felt that the figure was quite familiar. However, he was not sure of his thoughts, so he did not say it out loud immediately.

In the picture, a dark-faced officer walked out quickly from the gate with a serious look on his face.

On his epaulettes was a cluster of shining silver flames, the insignia of the rank of colonel.

Zhu Taihe said at the right time: "He is Shan Pengcheng, the deputy commander of our First Combat Brigade. He was the highest-ranking officer who survived in the Ninth Mountain Division at that time."

Ai Wanxin saw Shan Pengcheng take a piece of paper from the woman's hand and look at it for a few seconds, then he saluted her, reached out to take the silver suitcase from her hand, and welcomed the woman into the camp.

Ai Wanxin had questions in her mind, and she had to ask: "Who is she? Where did she come from? Why doesn't she look like someone who has experienced the end of the world?"

Zhu Taihe's pale face was tense, and he gritted his teeth and said, "She is a scientist sent by the Guanghui City Academy of Sciences to carry out a top-secret mission, Yang Jici."

"what?"

"what!"

Ai Wanxin and He Yang shouted in unison, and the cockroaches that had just been pacified in the nest were startled and flew away in large numbers by the echoing screams.

Zhu Taihe quickly controlled the giant cockroaches to calm them down.

Even Yin Yanhan and Tuoba Qing were surprised by what he just said.

Except for Zhu Taihe, everyone present knew that Academician Yang had died in Fengcheng. How could he be resurrected from the dead and appear at the gate of the Ninth Mountain Division camp thousands of miles away?

He Yang's heart suddenly sank. When he saw that figure just now, he thought of Aunt Yang. Although Aunt Yang had never dressed like this, her figure was almost exactly the same.

He couldn't help but look at Ai Wanxin with a little confusion.

After all, she was the last person to see Aunt Yang. Could it be that Aunt Yang was rescued later?

What happened in the meantime?

Ai Wanxin was unaware of He Yang's inquiring look. She was the most surprised person among them.

At that time, she was in the underground cave of Laolongwo, and after going through untold hardships, she finally met Academician Yang Jici.

At that time, Academician Yang failed to merge with the big spider and lost his human consciousness like Zhu Taihe.

She helped Academician Yang to vent her feelings and regain her consciousness.

Academician Yang told her the ins and outs of being trapped in Lao Long's Nest, and entrusted her with two students and important scientific research materials.

Afterwards, Academician Yang was afraid of losing control of himself and hurting the people around him, so he was unwilling to return to human society. He dug out the crystal core himself and slept forever in the underground abyss.

She had seen all of this with her own eyes. Even now, Academician Yang's data storage device and one of his eyes were still kept safely in her space.

How is it possible to appear here intact in human form?

Zhu Taihe didn't know why they reacted so strongly. A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and his voice became alert: "You don't know her, do you?"

Ai Wanxin did not hide it: "We do know Academician Yang Jici, but Academician Yang died in Fengcheng about a month ago. I saw it with my own eyes. Let alone whether a person can be resurrected from the dead, even if she is alive, how could she have crossed the zombie-filled Yan Country continent and come to you in just a few days? Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"

Zhu Taihe didn't expect this to be the reason. He turned his gaze to another video and said, "I've seen her once in a report before. Although I can't say that I have a perfect memory of her, she does look very similar. Perhaps you can take a look at the video of the conference room. I think her face was captured there."

He Yang suppressed his doubts and enlarged the video that Zhu Taihe pointed to.

Of course, he just thought that the matter was too bizarre, and he did not have any intention of doubting Ai Wanxin in his heart.

The holographic projection showed an image of a medium-sized conference room with a long wooden oval table in the middle. Shan Pengcheng and two officers sat on the left, one of whom was Zhu Taihe.

Sitting opposite him was the "Yang Jici" mentioned by Zhu Taihe.

only......

Zhu Taihe's face, which was not easy to express, was full of shock: "Why? Why can't I take a picture of her face!?"

In the picture, a woman in a white coat was sitting upright in an armchair. On the left lapel of her coat was a shiny snow mountain badge, exactly the same as the one Ai Wanxin picked up in the command center.

She wore a string of round pearl necklaces around her slender neck. She didn't look like a scientist who was sent thousands of miles away to carry out a secret mission in the end times. Instead, she looked like a wealthy lady who was pampered in the upper class of Guanghui City and was about to enjoy her afternoon tea.

What was even more surprising was that, although half of her face appeared on the screen, the small piece of holographic projection was blurry and her appearance could not be seen at all.

He Yang asked: "Is the data damaged?"

Ai Wanxin responded and said, "Finish watching this video first. There should be other videos that capture her face."

It’s not that she doesn’t want to know whether this woman is Yang Jici, but because the woman spoke in the video.

A distant and cold voice sounded: "Captain Shan, you should be very clear about my purpose. This matter concerns the future of all mankind. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible and don't waste time."

Ai Wanxin carefully recalled the voice of Yang Jici in Old Dragon's Nest. If you want to say it is similar, it is somewhat similar. But if you want to say it is not similar, Yang Jici's voice in Old Dragon's Nest is gentler and more soothing, not as cold as this voice.

But she had only met Yang Jici once, so she couldn't judge him based on his voice alone.

She temporarily gave up the idea of ​​judging whether Yang Jici was real or fake, and listened wholeheartedly to Shan Pengcheng's reply.

Shan Pengcheng's face was almost ashen. "I can't make a decision on my own without the approval of the military."

"Yang Jici" interrupted him and said, "The National Emergency Act stipulates that in a state of emergency, the Speaker has the power to mobilize all armed forces and military units in the country without the approval of Parliament, not to mention the military you mentioned."

"And right now, it is the highest level of emergency."
