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

When the speedboat reached the middle of the channel, Ai Wanxin saw a shadow rising from the harbor. The buzzing sound drowned out the noisy seagulls. A group of drones glowing cold white in the sun flew close to the sea surface, blocking the way in front and behind the speedboat.

Ai Wanxin heard the sound of Fu Meng's throat rolling, and his hand calmly reached for the holster on his waist.

A white drone stood out from the crowd and slowly flew to a place where Xue Muqing's line of sight was level.

A light green bar of light swept across Xue Muqing and Fu Meng's faces from top to bottom, and a very gentle female voice sounded from the loudspeaker: "Major General Xue, Colonel Fu, welcome to Atlantis."

what?

Ai Wanxin felt that she must have a lot of question marks in her mind at this moment.

She didn't know whether she should be surprised first that the drone knew Xue Muqing and Fu Meng, or should she be surprised first that this place was called Atlantis.

Could it be that they had traveled to some lost civilization as Fu Meng said?!

Xue Muqing and Fu Meng obviously had the same question as her.

However, neither of them asked a direct question.

Xue Muqing said in a deep voice: "Since you know me, why don't we meet and have a chat."

The female voice said politely, "Please follow me to the island."

A swarm of drones surrounded the speedboat as it entered the port. When we got closer, we discovered that most of the ships moored at the port were luxury yachts. Judging from their styles, they were no different from the yachts we usually see.

Ai Wanxin followed Xue Muqing and Fu Meng to disembark from the dock. A humanoid robot holding a robot dog appeared out of nowhere and took over the work of the drone.

The same female voice said gently, "Major General, Colonel, Atlantis advocates peace. Please do not use weapons on the island."

Having said that, it did not force the two men to surrender their weapons. Instead, it turned around and let them get on an open-top, driverless sightseeing car.

After the robot put them in the car, it stopped there. This time, the female voice came from the speakers inside the car.

"Major General, Colonel, good afternoon. My name is Hera. I will accompany you all the way to visit the Atlantis Ocean Theme Park today."

"You two are now riding in an unmanned sightseeing bus that goes around the island. The starting point is Poseidon Harbor, passing through the outer island, the inner island, and the Rainbow Bridge, and the end point is the Sun Palace Temple on the central island. The entire journey is expected to take three hours."

As she spoke, a map was projected in the air in front of the two of them.

?

Ai Wanxin blinked her eyes. This turned out to be a theme park on the sea. She had never heard of such a park.

Xue Muqing frowned and said, "No need to sightsee, I want to meet the person in charge here."

Hera said softly, "Okay, then we will go directly to the Sun Palace Temple. The whole journey is expected to take thirty minutes. During this time, you two can take a short rest. According to tests, you two have not fallen asleep for more than thirty-four hours, which may cause irreversible damage to your cardiovascular and nerve cells."

what?

Ai Wanxin was even more puzzled. Could it be possible to detect how long a person had not slept for?

Xue Muqing and Fu Meng's muscles tensed. Why was this place so strange? What was it for?

Although the trip was shortened, it was enough time for Ai Wanxin to see the structure of the theme park clearly on the map.

The entire island of Atlantis is suspended on the sea, forming a three-layer concentric circle structure.

The outermost ring is the outer island. Judging from the speed of the sightseeing bus and the speed of the light spot representing the sightseeing bus moving on the map, the diameter of the outer island is more than 5000 meters.

At the location where the outer island is divided into three equal parts, there are three swing arms extending from the outside to the deep sea. The one close to the north is the Poseidon Port where they landed on the island.

The outer islands and inner islands, as well as the inner islands and central islands are separated by a trench nearly 500 meters wide.

The outer island and the inner island are connected by ferry, and the inner island and the central island are connected only by a straight long bridge in the north direction, which is the Rainbow Bridge.

They crossed the circular outer island from the Poseidon Port on the north side and took an unmanned ferry to enter the inner island. During this time, apart from some patrol robots, robot dogs, and barrel-shaped cleaning robots, they did not see a single person on the island.

Fu Meng couldn't help but ask: "Why is there no tourists in your theme park?"

Hera's voice was filled with a gentle smile: "Colonel, our park has not yet been officially opened to the public. It is still in the debugging stage, so there are no tourists on the island for the time being."

In fact, he still had many questions he wanted to ask, but Xue Muqing shook his head gently, so Fu Meng could only suppress all his questions.

Yes, the female voice that was talking to them called herself Hera, but her voice was no different from that of a human.

But she is not a human, and all her answers are the result of artificial intelligence calculations. So what can you ask from her?

It has to be said that the architecture of this "theme park" is very gorgeous and exquisite. The houses are built with white rocks, and the walls and eaves are carved with simple and elegant murals and statues.

Tall stone statues can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. They have solemn expressions. Some are in human form, some are in mermaid form, and they are holding books, daggers and spears in their hands.

The sightseeing bus went straight through the inner island and drove onto a crystal clear transparent arch bridge. Under the arch bridge was the deep blue and calm sea. There was not even any trace of glass splicing on the bridge deck. When the sightseeing bus drove on it, the chassis turned transparent, giving people the illusion that they might fall into the sea at any time.

The sides of the arch bridge are decorated with extremely exquisite mermaid statues. These statues are made in one piece, and their eyes are inlaid with gems of various colors. They sparkle in the sun and stare down at them.

From the arch bridge, you can see a towering and magnificent building in the center of the central island.

On the side facing the Rainbow Bridge, white marble columns are carved into the shape of girls, and together they support the golden dome of the temple.

These girl sculptures have different shapes, their skin is polished as smooth as silk, their expressions are gentle, and they are lifelike. The melodious sound of bagpipes lingers above the temple, like a distant sacred song that has traveled through eternity.

Xue Muqing and Fu Meng looked at each other and saw the same idea in each other's eyes.

This is by no means a simple sea paradise!

The sightseeing bus slowly stopped in front of the temple, and Hera's voice sounded again: "Major General, Colonel, we have arrived at the Temple of the Sun Palace, and the host is waiting for you two inside the temple."

Ai Wanxin frowned slightly, Master?

This time, there was no robot to lead the way. Xue Muqing and Fu Meng got out of the car by themselves and stepped onto the tall steps of the temple.

As one stepped into the temple's stone gate inlaid with golden branches, the sunlight seemed to be completely blocked out. On the columns on both sides, blazing torches were burning. In the deep and spacious hall, only the sound of Xue Muqing and Fu Meng's hard-soled military boots stepping on the marble floor could be heard echoing back and forth.

On the high platform at the end of the temple stood a broad and solid throne. On the stone wall behind the throne, there was a giant snake made of pure gold, connected head to tail.

A steady voice sounded from the darkness.

"Major General Xue, Commander Yang has mentioned you to me many times. Now we finally meet. Nice to meet you."
