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

Ai Wanxin looked at Tai Shi Ning with a blank face. He covered his forehead with his hand and said in a muffled voice: "The guest of honor, means the person who participates in the confidential research together?"

Jian Huaixi opened his mouth to refute, but Tai Shi Ning was quick to cover his mouth with his hands.

Shut up! Didn't you see the murderous look in the sentinels behind her? I told you I wanted to live a few more years!

"That's exactly what I mean!" Tai Shi Ning emphasized again with certainty.

Qiong loosened his clenched fists, took a deep breath and turned his eyes away.

The level of idiots in the room has increased again.

Putting aside Jian Huaixi's unreasonable deal, Ai Wanxin was originally going to look for Xue Muqing. Apart from Tai Shi Ning and Jian Huaixi, Han Ce was the only one present who didn't know her plan.

He was worried that Ai Wanxin would agree immediately, so he could only wink at her and said quickly, "The parliament has known about Xue Muqing's independence for a long time, but they are still discussing it and have not made a decision. Before the official decision is passed, the base's executive officer cannot arbitrarily dispatch troops to fight him. This is not the same as fighting zombies."

When it comes to the ins and outs here, He Yang may not know as much as Han Ce, who has been immersed in the power center of Guanghui City for many years.

Xue Muqing simply disobeyed the parliament's orders, and he did not declare war on anyone. If Ai Wanxin took action on her own and dealt with him, the parliament would never remember her kindness, but would easily accuse her of war crimes and armed rebellion. If something went wrong and civilians were accidentally killed or injured, she would definitely be charged with crimes against humanity.

Nowadays, her every move is being watched by countless eyes. Any word or look from her may be magnified and criticized, let alone such an important decision.

Jian Huaixi pulled Tai Shi Ning's hand down with all his strength and said unhappily, "By the time the parliament makes a decision, it will be too late. The old termites in the parliament can hide in Guanghui City and think about it slowly, but we in Liancheng have a knife on our neck and can't wait even a moment."

Ai Wan said nonchalantly, "The parliament is a bit procrastinating. There are ways to make them move faster, but the leverage you gave is not enough and you are not sincere."

Seeing that she had given in, Jian Huaixi stopped playing tricks. He lowered his head to think for a moment, then pulled out a few photos from the terminal and projected them in the air.

Those were some night photos. The light was very dim, and there were vague shadows on the photos. The picture was also very grainy, and it looked like it had been magnified many times.

Jian Huaixi explained: "This was taken with a pocket film camera, then developed and enlarged. We have tried our best to restore it."

Pei Junlin asked curiously: "Why use a film camera to shoot?"

Nowadays, intelligence agencies have made various reconnaissance tools quite portable and with very high pixels. On the contrary, this kind of film camera might only be found in a museum, right?

Jian Huaixi sighed and said, "Didn't I tell you that Eagle City's equipment has been updated? I don't know what kind of devices they have deployed in the city. All electronic equipment will become useless once it enters Eagle City."

He Yang said thoughtfully: "This is not surprising. The first thing to fight in modern warfare is electronic warfare."

Jian Huaixi shook his head: "If Xue Muqing had used our own equipment, even if it was interfered with, I would not be completely helpless. Hey, you can see it from the photos."

Ai Wanxin looked at the projection in the air as she was told. The capability of this old-fashioned film camera was really limited, and there was at least a hilltop between them. She squinted her eyes almost into slits, but could only vaguely see a thick black shadow and several neatly arranged square formations of soldiers under the shadow.

He Yang looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He asked in confusion: "Isn't this just an infantry phalanx? The number of people doesn't exceed one battalion at most. What's the problem?"

This battalion is made up entirely of sentries, so there's nothing to worry about.

Jian Huaixi propped his hands on his knees, stood up and walked to the projection. He pointed at a small black square next to the square and said in a deep voice, "This is the T103 Conqueror heavy tank."

The T103 Conqueror heavy tank is 11 meters long, with a hull length of 7 meters and a height of over 3.5 meters. It is not even as big as a pixel in the photo. If Jian Huaixi hadn't said so, no one would be able to tell that the tiny black dot is a tank.

If that small black dot was a heavy tank, everyone's attention would shift to the square formation on the side again.

That's much bigger than the little black dot. At least you can see the outline of a human figure. It's definitely not possible for these to be infantry...

Almost at the same time, Yin Yanhan lowered his eyes and glanced at the black ring on his hand. He Yang subconsciously touched the alloy armlet on his left arm that was covered by his sleeve, and his sharp brows were tightly furrowed.

Did Xue Muqing get these mechas from somewhere? And there were so many of them?

Pei Junlin and Han Ce also thought of it, and Han Ce couldn't help but look at Ai Wanxin in shock.

He was actually puzzled about the origin of those mechas before, but since Ai Wanxin didn't want to tell him some things, he didn't dare to ask.

How come Xue Muqing also has them, and in such large quantities?

Han Ce had witnessed the extraordinary combat power of mechas. If the mechas in Xue Mucheng's hands were the same as theirs, then judging from the number of mechas in the photo, Xue Mucheng would be able to establish his own army, and it would be no problem for him to target the entire country!

Jian Huaixi and Tai Shi Ning were keenly aware of the unusual silence of the crowd. Tai Shi Ning's eyes turned and he asked carefully, "You all seem to know what is in the photo."

Ai Wanxin did not hide it and nodded, "As for the humanoid mecha, the military should be building it. We won't be much behind them, so there's no need to worry too much."

Jian Huaixi's jaw dropped an inch: "Has our technology developed to this extent?"

After a brief shock, Jian Huaixi was furious: "Since we have it too, why didn't the parliament agree to refit our Lotus City after I submitted the photos and report?"

Ai Wanxin didn't care at all what those people in the parliament were thinking, she was thinking about something else.

Judging from the memories she has recovered now, her mecha was brought from her previous life. So where did Xue Muqing’s mecha come from?

Xue Muqing sent people to the Academy of Sciences to look for the data left by Academician Yang Jici. Is it also related to these mechas?

But no matter where his mecha came from and what he is going to do, we certainly can't leave him alone any longer.

Besides, with so many mechas lying around, isn't it more convenient than waiting for the military to slowly build them?

Ai Wanxin quickly made up her mind, and the problem returned to the beginning.

"Got it. As for conquering Xue Muqing, I will get the parliament's approval."
