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

The crowd suddenly became noisy, and everyone said at once: "I don't know what's going on outside. Isn't it courting death to go out?"

"We definitely have to go out, otherwise we'll all starve to death. But why are you only asking young men to go? I think unless you're too old to walk or you're a child, everyone else can go."

"That's not right. Weren't there three powerful people there yesterday? Are they going out to look for supplies?"

"Why don't they just share what they find with us? How can we possibly kill the zombies?"

"If I am asked to dig out someone's head, I can't do it. Isn't this a loss of virtue?"

Huang Xiaochi couldn't help but ask, "Why should they share the supplies they worked so hard to find with us? Just asking us to exchange them for crystal cores is already very generous. Do you know what the situation is now?"

"Oh, you have a bad temper, sir. You have been trained, but we are just ordinary people who can't even lift a finger."

"I've never even killed a fish, and now you're asking me to kill someone. Do you think this is a good offer?"

"It's not murder, it's zombies!" Huang Xiaochi shouted.

He had gone to great lengths to negotiate the conditions with Ai Wanxin, and he felt very embarrassed.

It’s so simple and yet these people are unwilling to do it?

Shi Bin patted him on the shoulder and turned to the crowd and said, "This is the current situation. The only remaining supplies in the community are placed in the property lobby. Everyone knows how long they can last."

"Either you exchange crystal cores for supplies, or you starve to death. Make your own decision."

The crowd dispersed reluctantly.

A man with eyes as small as if he hadn't woken up fell behind. He approached Shi Bin and Huang Xiaochi and asked, "Which neighbor is going out to look for supplies, the woman?"

Huang Xiaochi said unhappily: "What is that woman, call her Sister Ai."

The man laughed and said, "Okay, okay, Sister Ai, Sister Ai."

"What do you want to do?" Shi Bin asked coldly.

"No, no, I was just asking casually." The man laughed and turned away.

------------

The fighting continued until sunset, when Ai Wanxin finally called off the battle.

She burned the pile of zombie corpses with fire and stored the crystal core beautifully into the space.

The three returned to the community and were about to walk towards Building A when a man rushed out of the security booth and shouted, "Beauty, beauty, please stay."

Ai Wanxin's originally cheerful expression darkened. She pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.

Yin Yanhan and Pei Junlin stopped and turned around. The oppressive feeling of height and physique forced the man to stay where he was.

"Girl, Sister Ai, please stay, I...I have something to say."

Ai Wanxin then turned around and found that it was someone she knew, the man from whom they had surrendered their guns on the 10th floor of Building D.

The man looked at Yin Yanhan and Pei Junlin cautiously, and said with a smile: "Sister Ai, can I have a moment to talk?"

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. My patience is limited." Ai Wanxin said coldly.

The man had no choice but to say, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lu Bufan. What are your names?"

Neither Yin Yanhan nor Pei Junlin answered. Lu Bufan laughed awkwardly and said, "To be honest, our Lu family is quite well-known in Fengcheng. I was the one who ordered the airdropped supplies during the flood."

Lu Bufan observed the expressions of the three people, and seeing that there was no emotion on their faces, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

At that time, he begged his uncle for a long time before he got a batch of airdropped supplies.

In order to avoid suspicion of misusing public property for personal gain, the supplies were placed in the community, and a lot of them were taken away by others.

How come these people don't know how to be grateful after eating his food?

"We didn't touch any of your things." Yin Yanhan said indifferently.

Lu Bufan's heart skipped a beat. He was stared at by his cold gaze and had an inexplicable illusion that he could not escape.

"No... That's not what I meant." He changed the subject. "What I meant was, I heard from the policeman that you were planning to go out and look for supplies."

"Since you are going out, I wonder if you can do me a favor first."

Ai Wanxin sneered and turned away.

Lu Bufan didn't dare to keep it a secret any longer, and hurriedly said, "I'm not asking you to help for nothing. I can provide supplies and call for helicopter rescue to take you all to the military shelter."

Ai Wanxin paused, turned around and asked, "Can you call for a helicopter rescue? What kind of helicopter, and how many people can it carry?"

Lu Bufan smiled and said, "It's OK for as many people as you want to sit on it. If there's not enough space, we can just make two more trips. We still have some face."

Ai Wanxin glanced at him from head to toe: "What does your family do?"

Lu Bufan raised his chin slightly and said complacently: "My uncle is the commander of the Maple City Marine Battalion."

There are usually two divisions stationed in Fengcheng, one responsible for strategic security and the other for urban security and counter-terrorism.

The Marine Battalion is responsible for the latter.

If his uncle was really the division commander, he could indeed mobilize these resources.

"Congratulations, but I'm not interested." Ai Wanxin said coldly.

"No, no, no, just listen to me and tell me what we are going to do specifically, and then decide whether to do it or not. It should be very easy for you." Lu Bufan said anxiously.

Without waiting for Ai Wanxin to refuse, he said very quickly: "My brother is trapped in Mingxiao Mountain Hotel not far from here. You can get whatever you want as long as you help me find him."

Ai Wanxin's ears moved slightly.

Mingxiaoshan Hotel, that was where she was trapped in her previous life.

In this life, she resigned early, and Zhang Yunshen did not organize any team building activities for some reason.

I guess no one from their company is there.

But there must be someone there.

Zhang Huaiyuan, Zhang Yunshen’s uncle, is a room manager at Mingxiaoshan Hotel.

In his previous life, he lost all the team's crystal cores in a gamble, which prevented her from hiring a guide to relieve her stress, and indirectly led to the explosion of her spiritual sea.

Zhang Yunshen is already dead, will she let Zhang Huaiyuan go?

Ai Wanxin made up his mind, but said: "Mingxiao Mountain is in the southwest of Fengcheng, and it is indeed not too far from the community."

"But that was in normal times. Now the whole Fengcheng is probably overrun by zombies. You want us to rescue people but you just give us an empty promise. Is that reasonable?"

"What if your brother has mutated into a zombie, or has been bitten to death by a zombie."

"We made this trip for nothing. If you turn your back on me, how can I seek justice?"

Lu Bufan took out his cell phone and found a video.

Ai Wanxin laughed and said, "Your phone has a good battery life."

Lu Bufan smiled and said, "I have an outdoor mobile power bank, but I haven't been willing to use it these days. I'm waiting for the critical moment to use it."

He turned the phone screen over and saw a fat man with a round head, round face and small eyes on the video. He said in a muffled voice: "Cousin, my dad said that the magnetic field in this mountain area is very strange and helicopters can't get in. He also said..."

Lu Bufan turned off the video without saying the rest of the sentence.

"This is what my brother sent me yesterday. He is fine. He is hiding in the warehouse with a few people from the hotel."

"I won't let you work for nothing. Aren't you looking for supplies? I still have some that can be used as a deposit."

"Once my brother is rescued, you can give me as much money as you want." Lu Bufan promised.
