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

The girl's lips trembled, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sister, do you know the Central Academy of Sciences?"

“…I know.”

Ai Wanxin said with a little confusion, she knew it very well, but what was going on with the Central Academy of Sciences here?

The girl whispered, "Sister, before the apocalypse, I was studying at the Central Academy of Sciences. When the flood and zombies broke out, I luckily survived and evolved into a guide."

"At that time, a special academy was established in the school to accept all students who evolved into sentinels and guides."

"Our dean wants everyone to learn how to control their own power while continuing to learn professional knowledge, and at the same time, to sharpen their character and keep their original intentions, so as not to lose themselves because of suddenly possessing supernatural powers."

"Hmm..." Ai Wanxin pondered, "Then what?"

In fact, she not only knew this sentence, but also heard Dean Yan Shupei say it with her own ears.

"Later, sentinels and guides from other colleges in Glory City also joined our academy. In addition to studying, we also do some basic physical training and military skills training under the guidance of instructors from the Security Bureau, including the latest application methods of sentinels and guides' mental power. They will teach you."

"Some classmates said that the Security Bureau had bad intentions and wanted us to go to the battlefield after graduation, but I didn't think so at the time. Sister, those instructors were all special forces who had experienced many battles and completed many difficult missions. They taught us very practical life-saving skills, which were really useful."

Ai Wanxin nodded. This was a sensible person. No matter whether others wanted to use him or not, he would first take advantage of the opportunity to develop his abilities.

The girl continued, "A few days ago, a man suddenly came from outside the school. He seemed to be a high-ranking officer in the Security Bureau. He asked the instructors to arrange for our students to immediately conduct a comprehensive field combat training. The location was set in the desolate valley on the outskirts of Glory City."

Ai Wanxin frowned slightly: "A temporary decision on comprehensive field combat training?"

"Yes, sister. It was already late in the afternoon that day. The regular training had already ended, but suddenly the assembly whistle was blown. We were not allowed to bring anything with us and had to get in the car and leave immediately."

"Our dean came with some people and seemed to want to stop us. Later, I don't know what they said to the dean, but he didn't insist and got in the car with us."

"Dean Yan went there too?" Ai Wanxin asked in surprise.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Sister, do you know our dean?"

Ai Wanxin nodded slightly: "I worked with Dean Yan for a while."

The girl grabbed Ai Wanxin's hand and said, "Sister, you must save the dean. He must be in danger now. He would have been fine, but it's all because of us..."

Ai Wanxin hugged the girl in his arms, patted her trembling back, and comforted her: "Dean Yan and I have a good relationship. I will save him, but you have to tell me what happened later, where Dean Yan is now, and what danger he is in."

The girl felt Ai Wanxin's rhythmic tapping on her back and forced herself to calm down: "The dean and Senior Brother Yi are both in the car—"

"Senior Brother Yi is there too?" Ai Wan was stunned. What was going on?

"Sister, you even know Senior Brother Yi?" The girl's face was full of surprise and confusion. She looked at Ai Wanxin's face carefully again to confirm that she had really never seen her before.

Ai Wanxin's mind was working at a furious pace, recalling in detail what had happened in the past few days.

At that time, Yi Shenshou went to Zhangcheng with her. They returned to Guanghui City together two days before the Security Bureau meeting.

When they entered the city, Yi Shenshou said he wanted to go back and see Dean Yan, so he parted ways with them.

What happened later?

Ai Wanxin searched quickly in her memory.

After entering Guanghui City, she handed Songcheng Executive Officer Bu Yuanxun to Dai Qun of the Guard Army. Afterwards, a deputy director of the Security Bureau took her to visit the Security Bureau building and showed her the office where she had not had the time to sit for a whole day.

In the evening, she was supposed to attend the welcoming dinner hosted by Feng Jingyi, but because she was harassed at the sentry post, she was too lazy to deal with those idiots, so she simply went home.

She remembered that night Jing seemed to have tagged Yi Shenshou in the group. Did he reply?

Ai Wanxin raised her arm and clicked on the [Loving Family (8)] group on the terminal, and scrolled up to the group chat history.

No…he didn’t reply.

The messages in the group were refreshed so quickly at that time that she didn't notice this detail at all.

If that's the case, it's true that there has been no news of Yi Shenshou since they separated and entered the city.

"Sister?" The girl called Ai Wanxin cautiously, calling her attention back.

"Yes, I know Brother Yi, we are very familiar with each other. Then, what happened?" Ai Wanxin said seriously.

"We were taken to a desolate valley and divided into ten small groups. They took away our communication equipment and gave each group an envelope and a locator. We were asked to complete the task assigned in the envelope. If we encountered danger that we couldn't handle, we should turn on the locator and they would come to rescue us. But the mission was considered a failure."

"Our team's mission is to cross the dense forest of the Desolate Valley and rescue the hostages in an abandoned factory in the valley. We have been in the valley for one day and two nights, but we have not been able to find the target factory."

"At the time, we really thought it was a mission assigned by the security bureau. Some students wanted to give up, while others wanted to persist. We even argued about it several times."

"Later I realized that it was probably all a cover-up, sister. When we finally found the factory and the so-called hostages, it was already the afternoon of New Year's Day. Everyone was exhausted and thought we could finally go back to school, but a group of masked and heavily armed thugs appeared out of nowhere."

Ai Wanxin frowned fiercely. If the field comprehensive combat training was just a cover, then the security bureau that arranged this inexplicable training could not escape responsibility.

But why? At that time, the Security Bureau was in charge of He Shifeng.

"Our team was in a panic and couldn't organize any decent resistance. Fortunately, Senior Brother Yi followed our group and stood in front of everyone at the critical moment."

"At the beginning, those thugs were no match for Senior Brother Yi. Senior Brother Yi seemed to have a very high mental strength, but he couldn't handle so many thugs by himself. They caught some students who were running around and threatened Senior Brother Yi to surrender. Senior Brother Yi..." The girl twisted her fingers tightly, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, "He couldn't do anything..."

Ai Wan's heart skipped a beat, as if it was being gripped by an invisible hand. She asked anxiously, "Is he still alive?"
