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

"Boom--" A muffled thunder-like buzzing sound came from far away and got closer, and the huge flying wing stealth transport plane slowly landed on the apron of the Liancheng temporary airport.

The plane door opened, and Ai Wanxin took in the situation on the tarmac at a glance.

A young man in jungle camouflage combat uniform led a team and walked quickly towards them.

Behind him stood a row of giant silver-gray mechas over thirty meters tall, like steel giants in ancient mythology, silently staring at the ant-like humans in the sun.

Qi Tongtian stood behind Ai Wanxin, his mouth slightly wide open because he was too shocked. He was already surprised once when he saw the humanoid mecha that the military took out yesterday. He never expected that Xue Muqing had something in his hand that he had only seen in movies, TV shows, animation and comics.

If it weren't for the fact that the general in front of him was too calm, Qi Tongtian might have pinched himself to see if he was having some outrageous daydream.

Ai Wanxin strode down the gangway and Qi Tongtian followed immediately.

The man in jungle camouflage combat uniform had come closer. He looked to be in his thirties, thin, tanned, and with dark eyebrows and eyes. As soon as he came up, he extended his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Fu Meng, the captain of the Second Destroyer Squadron of the Navy."

Qi Tongtian frowned fiercely. Since this guy still acknowledged his original position in the navy, he should salute when he saw their general.

There was no salute, just a handshake, the meaning was very clear, that is, he did not agree with the general's identity in Ai Wan's mind.

Qi Tongtian knew these people in the army too well. Only new recruits would not understand the ways of the world. To have made it to - he glanced at the man's shoulder straps, those who had made it to the rank of colonel were all smart men and it was impossible for them to make such a low-level mistake.

Moreover, with Fu Meng extending his hand, their general would be in trouble. Shaking hands with him would be like suffering a loss in silence, while not shaking hands with him would be considered impolite on their part.

Qi Tongtian wanted to speak so much, but before the plane landed, Ai Wanxin told him to just follow her, not to run around and to act according to circumstances, to save his life if a fight broke out, and to get the military merit. He dared not disobey.

Qi Tongtian has seen too little. When has their general ever suffered a loss at the hands of his opponents?

As expected, Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "Colonel Fu, you are wrong. You should salute me when you see me, and then I will salute you back. This is clearly stipulated in the Military Discipline Regulations."

Fu Meng withdrew his hand and snorted softly.

Ai Wanxin didn't care at all and continued, "But it doesn't matter. Everyone knows that the current environment is special. Although some people are still wearing military uniforms, they have lost their military qualities. Some generals do not manage their troops strictly, have lax military discipline, and even point their guns at their compatriots. These phenomena exist. We must understand that people's ideals and beliefs can suddenly slip, just like understanding species diversity."

Fu Meng raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "What did you say!"

Ai Wanxin ignored him and turned to Qi Tongtian and said, "Lieutenant, although we can understand the existence of this phenomenon, we must not agree with it. Noble ideals, beliefs and moral character are the foundation of a person's life. Soldiers who have lost their ideals and beliefs will lose their way and become corrupt and traitors in just a moment. You must not learn from them."

Qi Tongtian's eyes lit up and he immediately understood his mission.

He straightened his chest, pulled in his stomach, and slightly tucked in his chin. His eyes were firm and his face was stern. He raised his arm and saluted in a very standard military salute. He shouted in a firm and sonorous voice, "Yes, General! I will never learn from that corrupt and treacherous traitor!"

Ai Wanxin and Qi Tongtian sang the same words and scolded Fu Meng, the Eagle City garrison and Xue Muqing who was not present at all. Fu Meng was so angry that the blood vessels on his forehead bulged and his temples were throbbing, as if someone was whipping his nerves with a whip.

It is not accurate to say that Xue Muqing did not discipline his troops strictly. For example, the guards behind Fu Meng were so angry that their eyes were bulging and they were breathing heavily through their nostrils, but without Fu Meng's order, none of them dared to step forward.

Ai Wanxin saw everything. These soldiers supported Xue Muqing and were even willing to follow him in "betraying the country". It seemed that it was not just because of Xue Muqing's coercion and inducement, there must be other reasons that he didn't know.

Fu Meng took a deep breath, snorted, and said, "What do you know?"

After saying that, the guy stopped talking. Ai Wanxin didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Whose child is the one to worry about. I only need to know my own."

Fu Meng choked, and then he heard Ai Wanxin become amiable again. She asked, "Colonel, are you going to take me on a tour or take me to see Xue Muqing?"

"...General Xue is waiting for you."

Ai Wanxin nodded slightly, signaling Fu Meng to lead the way.

Fu Meng didn't know how things turned out. He clearly wanted to give her a warning, but how did he end up being led by her?

He was not very willing, so he deliberately took Ai Wanxin towards the direction of the giant mecha.

There are eight mechas in this row, standing on both sides of the runway. The closer you get, the bigger the mechas appear.

Qi Tongtian was secretly shocked. Where on earth did this thing come from? It looked even bigger than the skeleton of their general. If they fought, would the general have any chance of winning?

This cannot be blamed on him. After all, he has never really fought with Ai Wanxin, so he doesn't know what methods their general has.

Qi Tongtian was always nervous and tense to the extreme, but because of this, he noticed it the moment the electronic fluorescence of the mecha's mechanical eyes lit up.

When everyone walked in front of the mecha array, Fu Mengwei raised his head, and the eyes of the eight mechas suddenly lit up. They clenched their fists and hit each other. Round sound waves spread out, and strong winds rushed towards everyone like a wall.

Qi Tongtian stopped suddenly. Before he could rush to Ai Wanxin, he saw the real wall of sound waves suddenly disappear a few meters in front of Ai Wanxin, leaving only a breeze that gently ruffled her hair.

Fu Meng was surprised. It seemed that this newly promoted lieutenant general was quite capable, but he did not show it at all. He raised his eyebrows and said, "We are the latest new type of armor that our unit has replaced. Welcome, both of you."

In the space, the little red dragon, who was awakened by the sound waves that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, turned his head in confusion towards the big bird of paradise that Ai Wanxin had just collected into the space, and his scarlet eyes narrowed slightly.

The big birds of paradise chirped and cried, trying to say that it was not them who did it, but they could not communicate with the little red dragon, so they had to take the blame today.

At the temporary airport, Ai Wanxin said calmly, "Really? Let me teach you how to welcome the commander."
