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

As he spoke, the flesh straw connected to Zhu Taihe's head trembled as if twitching, and then suddenly shrank, swallowing his head back into its mouthparts.

The giant cockroach's black compound eyes glowed red, and its leathery front wings spread out like a hill. Yin Yanhan pulled Ai Wanxin behind him and said, "Hurry up."

He Yang grabbed her hand, turned around and was about to fly back to the cave they came from. However, outside Tuoba Qing's barrier, all the cockroaches, big and small, flew into the air and surrounded them.

Tuoba Qing mobilized his mental strength, withstood the crazy attacks of these cockroaches, and threw a fireball at the giant cockroach.

The fireball was blocked by the giant cockroach's strong forelimbs, and sparks burst out.

Ai Wanxin broke free from He Yang's hand. He Yang could clearly see a trace of reluctance flash across her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

She stretched out her right hand, and a golden spear shining with sacred light appeared in her hand.

In a moment, the giant cockroach was forced back more than ten meters by Yin Yanhan's lightning.

It had gone mad, with a pair of red compound eyes, and was circling quickly above the four people.

Ai Wanxin did not hesitate, and the red rune on the golden spear lit up in her palm.

She turned the gun handle upside down and swung it horizontally, and a shock wave like a galaxy pouring out spread out at a high speed with her as the center.

The cockroaches that covered the sky and the sun had no power to resist this terrifying force and were instantly annihilated in the dazzling white light.

The huge body of the giant cockroach quickly disappeared in the sacred light. Zhu Taihe's face flashed for a moment, and his eyes, which had regained clarity, looked at her for the last time before disappearing.

The shock waves hit the thick mountain walls one after another. Large chunks of rock fell down and the whole mountain shook like thunder.

Tuoba Qiong shouted loudly: "Go!"

He Yang stretched out his long arms, grabbed Ai Wanxin's thin waist, and rushed towards the cave entrance like lightning, passing through the falling rocks.

Ai Wanxin said loudly: "The tunnel is too complicated. If the mountain collapses, we will all be buried inside."

He Yang braked suddenly, and a huge rock fell towards them above their heads. He opened his left hand, and the rock immediately broke into fine gravel, which fell beside the two of them like a waterfall.

He raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Thanks for the reminder, sweetheart."

He Yang hugged Ai Wanxin and rushed to the top of the cave like a cannonball. On the side, Yin Yanhan and Tuoba Qing, who were leaning over Taowu and Xiaobai, guarded them on the left and right.

The rocks and metals were melted by He Yang and Yin Yanhan respectively. Tuoba Qing deployed a barrier to block the falling sand and molten iron. The group penetrated through layers of mountain walls and finally broke out of the ground.

After escaping danger, He Yang stopped in mid-air. Ai Wanxin was not comfortable being hugged by him, so Taowu was very considerate and flew to her and let her jump on his back.

Xiaobai was a step slower, and whimpered in grievance to Tuoba Qiong in the mental connection.

Tuoba Qiong touched Xiaobai's smooth and cold scales and comforted her: She won't come up if you go over first, she doesn't like snakes.

Xiaobai flicked his long tail, and really wanted to throw him off his body: You'd better not comfort me!

Under the feet of the four people, the snow-covered camp of the 9th Mountain Division collapsed with a loud bang, and the snow foam and dust were raised as high as a building.

Ai Wanxin leaned in Yin Yanhan's arms, took off her gas mask, and threw it into the smoke.

She had completely forgotten about wanting to take a photo with them.

----------------

When they landed again on the temple square on the top of Lingdian Mountain, Tuoba Qing called out to Ai Wanxin who had just gotten down from Taowu.

There was a struggle in his beautiful eyes. Ai Wanxin didn't ask why. She didn't even enter the gate of the villa. She took him to a distance and asked softly, "What's wrong, Ah Kong?"

Tuoba Qiong was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you remember what that man called 'Yang Jici' before he left?"

Ai Wanxin naturally remembered: "He called her Madam Bai."

"And she seems to know Lilith. What's going on?"

If she didn't know that the real Yang Jici had died in the underground cave of the Old Dragon's Nest in Fengcheng, and that Mrs. Bai had not mentioned Lilith's name, she might have speculated whether Academician Yang's husband's surname was Bai, but now she obviously would not have such an idea.

Tuoba Qiong gritted his teeth and said, "He might be calling for Madam Bai, the Lord of Death, one of the twelve demon lords who were banished to the Land of Evil Spirits."

"In the video clip of Madam Bai in the conference room, the ability to burn down the wooden table and allow new sprouts to revive from the ashes is not a fire or wood ability, but an ability that belongs exclusively to the Lord of Death."

"Life will follow death."

"Huh?" Ai Wanxin never expected this direction. She asked in confusion, "So another hell well has been opened?"

Tuoba Qiong shook his head: "Maybe it's the same as Lilith, the soul entered this time and space from the Land of Evil Spirits before the body."

Ai Wanxin's face was blank for a moment: "So, they can open the Hell Well at any time in a corner we don't know about, is that what you mean?"

Tuoba Qiong was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "It's possible."

Ai Wanxin narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Too passive, even the donkeys in the production team are not so agile."

She paced back and forth in front of Tuoba Qiong, quickly sorting out in her mind what had happened during this period.

"Zhu Taihe said that more than 20 days ago, Madam Bai came to the 9th Mountain Division's base with the Speaker's Order, asking them to assist Madam Bai and participate in the Academy of Sciences' 'Sun Bathing and Sky Repairing Project'."

"We don't know the details of the plan, but judging from the results, it aims to artificially promote evolution, transform the human body, and improve physical functions and mental strength by injecting a drug into the human body."

"Let's put aside the reasons for this plan for now. What is certain is that the Speaker and the Academy of Sciences are on the same page on this matter."

Tuoba Qing nodded silently.

Ai Wanxin took out a tablet, opened her notebook, and wrote the six big words "Sun Bathing and Sky Repairing Plan" on the tablet with a stylus.

She also pulled out three lines from the "Sun Bathing and Sky Repairing Plan", corresponding to Speaker Feng Jingyi, the Academy of Sciences and Mrs. Bai respectively.

"We will not investigate for now who led this plan between the Speaker and the Academy of Sciences, but Madam Bai is the specific executor."

Tuoba Qiong listened quietly, his eyes never blinking.

"At the same time, your and Jing's father also came back from the dead."

Tuoba Qing's face froze. Ai Wanxin patted the back of his hand and continued, "The fallen prophet mentioned by Lilith has also come to Frost City."

"He gave the Holy Spirit Blade to Sheng Xiuming and asked Sheng Xiuming to summon Lilith. His goal was to use Lilith's ability to revive the Lord and absorb the vitality of the people in the city to rebuild his body for him."

On the other side of Mrs. Bai, she wrote the names of the Prophet, Sheng Xiuming, and Lilith.

Ai Wanxin held the stylus with the tip of the pen hovering above the word "prophet".

"In the last saved video, the prophet appeared at the 9th Mountain Division's base. This means that he, like Madam White, knew about and participated in the 'Sun Bathing and Sky Repairing Project'."
