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

......

"The parliament approved the new executive officers of the five bases of Songcheng, Kuicheng, Zhucheng, Yecheng, and Qicheng with 232 votes in favor, 0 votes against, and 0 abstentions. All the proposals for today have been voted on."

After Han Ang finished speaking, the congressmen who had finally survived all the voting on the issues collapsed in their seats, their souls basically gone from their bodies.

Today's topics include impeaching the Speaker, dissolving the cabinet, adding Frost City as the eleventh large base, dismissing the executives of five bases, and finally voting on the new executive candidates.

Never before had the parliament solved so many problems in half a morning. There were no debates, arguments or mutual attacks, only proposals, voting and approval. The parliamentarians also fully realized that Ai Wanxin was indeed a sharp knife, but when the blade of this knife rushed towards them, it was so terrifying.

And after this round of voting, all the eleven large bases, except Echeng, are under the control of the military and Ai Wanxin.

If there had been no disagreement between He Shifeng and her——

Even if she declares herself emperor right where she is, no one can stop her!

The voting was over and Han Ang was about to declare the parliament adjourned when the light screen showing the vote counting interface suddenly flashed and a three-dimensional projection of a tall man appeared in the air above the council hall.

The man was in his thirties, with a three-dimensional figure, deep features, and slightly downward-curved corners of his lips, as if he was not very satisfied with everything.

I don’t know if it’s because of the signal or the screen display, but the man’s eyes look like he has double pupils, with the outer pupils showing a faint purple halo, and he is staring coldly ahead.

Chang Jiayi stood up suddenly. The parliament’s highest-level confidential communication line had been invaded!

However, other lawmakers were still confused, not knowing whether this was a temporary added topic.

Ai Wanxin naturally knew that this was not a temporary topic, but she did not know the man on the projection.

Behind him, He Shifeng said in a deep voice: "Major General Xue."

Ai Wan suddenly realized that he was Xue Muqing, the self-reliant military leader. He looked much younger than she thought.

He Shifeng didn't continue talking. He couldn't ask Xue Muqing why he called, right?

Chang Jiayi looked at He Shifeng and Ai Wanxin nervously, waiting for them to nod before forcibly cutting off the communication, but neither of them seemed to have that intention.

In the projection, Xue Muqing nodded slightly and said, "Congratulations, Commander."

Judging from these few words alone, Xue Muqing's tone was relatively polite, but what he said next made all the parliamentarians gasp.

"Since the end of the world, I have been keeping Eagle City safe and have kept my distance from you all. Yet, you have repeatedly sent people to invade our territory and spy on our secrets. Yesterday, you even stole our cutting-edge equipment."

Han Ang shouted angrily, "Eagle City is an integral part of our territory. How can you dare to intrude on it?"

Xue Muqing ignored him and continued, "In response, I led my troops to capture the Lotus City base five minutes ago."

"Buzz—" The congressmen were suddenly in an uproar. Many of them turned around and looked directly at Jian Huaixi, the executive officer of the Liancheng base.

Jian Huaixi's face was filled with shock. He had not received any news from the troops left in Liancheng. Could it be that they were completely wiped out before they even had time to raise the alarm? !

"I will give you three days to return our equipment. During these three days, I will lead my troops to capture a random base. If I still don't see what I want after three days, the iron hoofs of Eagle City will step on the land under your feet. I hope you all know this."

After that, without waiting for anyone to speak, the communication was disconnected just as suddenly as when it came.

The parliamentarians were no longer concerned about being afraid of Ai Wanxin. Some people couldn't help but shout, "What should we do? Isn't Xue Muqing committing treason?"

"How is it possible to capture a random base every day?"

"What on earth is he looking for?"

"Maybe there is no such thing at all. He just saw the live broadcast yesterday and knew that the executive officers of all major bases are now in Glory City. The base defenses are empty, so he just found a random excuse to start a war!"

Someone pointed at Jian Huaixi and asked, "Didn't you receive any news that Liancheng was captured? And something was lost yesterday, and today Liancheng was captured. Jian Huaixi, how do you lead the troops? Are the Liancheng garrison so useless?"

Jian Huaixi said angrily: "What are you talking about!"

Tai Shi Ning raised his arm to stop him and shook his head slightly.

Jian Huaixi was more anxious than anyone else. He pushed away Tai Shi Ning's hand, looked at the stage and said loudly: "Commander, General, please dispatch a troop to follow me to Liancheng. I will take back the base and capture Xue Muqing alive!"

He Shifeng stood up and walked to Ai Wanxin's side, but did not speak immediately.

Among all the chaotic and noisy voices, only a few words entered Ai Wanxin's ears. Yes, what was Xue Muqing looking for? Or was he really just looking for an excuse?

But this is not important. Even if Xue Muqing named who stole the item and posted the coordinates of the item he wanted, Ai Wanxin would not agree to his request.

The key to the problem lies in why no news was sent back after Liancheng was captured, and how Xue Muqing managed to capture a base randomly every day within three days.

You have to know that Liancheng and Yingcheng are separated from each other by the Red River. Jian Huaixi had long been worried that Xue Muqing would target Liancheng, so when he came to Guanghui City, he left all his subordinates in Liancheng. Presumably, he also made careful arrangements for security.

Even if Xue Muqing's mecha troops were extremely powerful and Liancheng was quickly breached, it would be impossible for no news to get out at all.

Last time, Jian Huaixi said that all electronic equipment became ineffective once they entered Eagle City. Perhaps the garrison in Liancheng was not too late to send a message, but that all electronic equipment was paralyzed or the signal was blocked.

It seems that the technology equipped by Xue Muqing completely crushed the garrison in Liancheng.

Then there is what he mentioned about capturing a base randomly every day.

Liancheng is sandwiched between Yacheng and Zhangcheng, and the distance between them is not close. No matter which base Xue Muqing chooses to attack first, the distance will be doubled if he wants to rush to the next base the next day, not to mention that he said he would attack a base randomly.

If he wasn't bragging, his troops were also extremely mobile.

And where do his humanoid mechas come from and how are they supplied with energy?

I had originally planned to find out what was going on after the Security Bureau meeting, but he came to me on his own initiative.

Yeah.

Ai Wanxin gave Jian Huaixi a soothing look, and said calmly and firmly: "Electricize all bases to enter the first level of combat readiness, and the executive officers of each base will return to the base immediately. As for Xue Muqing, I will go and meet him."
