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

The Fear Plateau is covered with rugged mountains and valleys, dotted with waterfalls and deep pools. After the river rushes out of the valley, the river channel suddenly widens, and the sediment that settles over the years has formed a number of small mountain basins. Eagle City is located on the largest alluvial plain among them.

The night was deep, and the thick fog in the valley silently surrounded the city like a ghost, but stopped when it touched a barrier like water waves.

Four tall men walked out of the thick fog, all with straight backs, slim waists and long legs.

In the darkness, only a small cat head emitting a pale white light could be seen on the chest of one of them.

Pei Junlin carefully avoided the kitten's soft fur and pulled the zipper of his jacket up half a point, revealing only its pair of eyes as clear as spring water and two furry ears.

It seemed to be observing the surrounding environment vigilantly. When its little ears trembled occasionally, the fluff gently swept across Pei Junlin's well-defined and beautiful chin, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

Jian Huaixi looked at the water wave barrier in front of him and whispered, "My people didn't dare to enter this protective shield at the time. I don't know if it would trigger the alarm. Fortunately, it is transparent--"

Before Jian Huaixi could finish his words, Qiong had already stepped into the barrier with a cold face. He opened his mouth and watched Yin Yanhan and Pei Junlin walk in one after another.

No, just because Xue Muqing took the mecha troops away doesn't mean that his Eagle City is empty. If they are discovered now, they are all brothers and sisters, should they fight or not?

Jian Huaixi had never participated in such an unorganized and undisciplined action before, and was in a dilemma.

Seeing him standing there motionless, Pei Junlin turned around and kindly said, "It's okay, there's no alarm."

Of course Jian Huaixi knew that there was no alarm because you all went in!

He had no choice but to follow in. When he passed through the wave-like barrier, Jian Huaixi felt his eardrums gurgle as if they had sunk to the bottom of the water, but soon the feeling disappeared.

Eagle City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a hundred miles to the east is the crescent-shaped bay of the Lost Shore Sea near the Horror Plateau. The place where they landed was the mountain range west of Eagle City, one of the passes in the Wrath of Wind Mountains.

Before the end of the world, this was a very famous viewing spot in Eagle City. On a full moon night with clear weather, you could see the bright moon rising at the end of the Lost Shore Sea. However, at this time, there were only sparse stars scattered on the dark sky.

Jian Huaixi looked at the black skyscrapers in Yingcheng below him and felt inexplicably strange, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

Beside him, Pei Junlin touched the soft ears of the kitten in his arms and asked, "Brother Han, do you need some mist?"

Although they could not see any signs of humanoid mechas or guards, it would be better to have some cover if they wanted to move around in the city.

Jian Huaixi still didn't know how they were going to take over Yingcheng, and he wasn't one to hold back, so he couldn't help but ask, "Before the fog sets in, can I ask what the specific battle plan is?"

"This is a city after all. What if a fight breaks out and civilians get hurt?"

Yin Yanhan's eyes scanned the entire Eagle City like an eagle. Suddenly, his sight stopped in one direction and he said calmly, "No civilians will be harmed."

Jian Huaixi still didn't quite understand, so he heard Qiong say coldly: "Because there is no one in Yingcheng."

Jian Huaixi was startled, then looked at Eagle City below his feet and immediately found something strange in it.

There was no light or sound in the entire city. Even if there was a curfew and power outage in the city, there should have been some candlelight, firelight, and human voices. It was not late at night, it was impossible for everyone in the city to be asleep!

Moreover, the more Jian Huaixi looked, the more he felt something was wrong. Not only was there no candlelight or fire in the city, there were no patrolling guards, and there wasn't even a single sentry post. It was nothing like what a base that was on alert and vigilant in the end times should look like.

Jian Huaixi's scalp felt numb and her beautiful hair almost blew to pieces. She even felt that the night breeze blowing gently towards her had suddenly become a little chilly.

"Will Xue Muqing kill everyone in the city?!" he shouted in a low voice.

"Don't be silly." he said impatiently.

His deep eyes were tightly pressed together, staring at the same direction as Yin Yanhan's gaze, fixed on a deep shadow in the distance.

Jian Huaixi followed their gaze and saw only a large dense forest in the center of the city and a four-story platform surrounded by the forest.

The terrain of the dense forest is higher than the surrounding areas, and it is very conspicuous even among the high-rise buildings, not to mention that the platform in it is extremely wide and flat.

Jian Huaixi recognized that it was the person he sent. He took pictures from the outside of the area that was filled with humanoid mechas.

However, the photo was too blurry, and because it was enlarged too much, he could only see a small part of it, which made him mistakenly think that it was a mountain, but it turned out to be a high platform rising from the ground.

However, there was no trace of any mecha on the platform at this time. There was only a shadow on it that looked a little darker than other places, as if it was going to absorb all the light.

"Let's go and take a look." Yin Yanhan said briefly.

He did not summon Taowu. Instead, he took a few quick steps with his straight and powerful long legs, and with a leap, like an agile cheetah in the night, he easily landed on the rooftop of a high-rise building at the foot of the mountain from a pass with a height difference of more than 40 meters.

On the ground covered with metal particles, Yin Yanhan could already fly off the ground without the help of his spirit body.

Qiong followed closely behind, running in the air as if it were flat ground. The whirlwind lifted Pei Junlin and Jian Huaixi and quickly caught up with the two.

Jian Huaixi didn't have to put in much effort, as his mouth was always busy. His voice was cut intermittently by the wind, but Pei Junlin still heard clearly what he was asking.

"How do you know it won't trigger the alarm?"

Pei Junlin looked at Tuoba Qing's back, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how that red-haired guy knew this, but for some reason, I feel that this protective shield is very familiar..."

He couldn't explain why Qiong was so sure that the alarm would not be triggered. In fact, he had some guesses in his mind. He was afraid that Qiong already knew what this protective shield was, so he walked in so confidently.

But their relationship wasn't good enough to ask.

Damn it, Pei Junlin glanced at Jian Huaixi from the corner of his eye. Why is that red-haired guy so tight-lipped? Why can't he be a chatterbox like Little Pillow? !

Just as he was thinking about it, Yin Yanhan and Qiong jumped onto the high platform in the dense forest one after another, and Pei Junlin and Jian Huaixi landed beside them.

He walked towards the deep shadow in the center without looking around, and said something unprecedented: "Because that's yours."
