I sell Coke in the doomsday

"why?"

"Why, after what you've been through, do you still want to be with them?"

Hearing this, my eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, I raised my hand and spoke softly.

"A thorn got stuck in my palm, and it went in really deep."

"I know that my palm hurts, but it's not the palm that's causing the pain, it's the thorn."

"So... I want to pull out that thorn, even if it means peeling off a layer of skin on my palm."

"I want to pull out that thorn, too."

In the darkness, Tongtong put her face against mine and whispered.

"I... don't want to make you sad."

"sorry."

I am not someone who can coax girls, so I could only answer softly according to my heart.

"I broke my promise first. It's my fault."

"sorry."

Having said that, I tried to put on a smile and spoke softly.

"I believe it."

"One day, we will live a life where no one will bother us anymore."

"When that time comes, I can be with you every day."

Hearing this, Tongtong let out a soft laugh. She held my head and spoke softly.

"It's a word."

"I will always...always wait for that day."

Chapter 172: Shocking Change

"It's a word."

"I will always...always wait for that day."

I don’t know what kind of mood Tongtong was in when she said this, but at least at this moment, I am willing to believe Tongtong.

In the darkness, I wanted to erase the words on the whiteboard, but when my outstretched fingers touched those words, I changed my mind.

Even if it is incomplete and paranoid, this is my life.

There is no need to hide or be ashamed. I have never done anything to be ashamed of.

So, I withdrew my fingers, stood up, and quietly held Tongtong in my arms.

Tongtong was very quiet, she just buried her little face in my chest, so she didn't see that behind her, bits of blue light gathered and turned into an illusory body.

The one with black hair and blue eyes is the other Hitomi.

In the darkness, I met another girl's eyes. Her eyes were full of sadness. She looked at me with a bitter smile, and her lips moved slightly, as if she was saying something to me silently with her lips.

I couldn't read the shape of her lips, I could only see her blue pupils, like the deep blue ocean, with waves rising up.

……

The next day was New Year's Day, but what greeted me was a heavy snow.

When it was still dawn, heavy snow fell under the dim sky, covering the ground with silver.

I opened the curtains, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the heavy snow outside the window with Tongtong.

I don't know when the TV was turned on, but no one inserted the DVD, so there was only blue on the screen.

Because of the heavy snow, the temperature today is very low and it is not suitable to go out. Of course, this is just my excuse.

I just want to make it up to Tongtong. I wasn't with her during the first snow of last winter. So at least I should be with her during the first snow of the new year to watch the heavy snow.

From now on, I will have less and less time to spend with Tongtong, and it will be impossible to continue the ordinary life as before.

Snowflakes were drifting down, some of them landed on the window, melted into snow water, and slid down. I was a little absent-minded, my mind was full of the phantom of Tongtong last night.

What on earth does she want to say to me?

Tongtong did not notice my absent-mindedness, but looked carefully at the snowflakes falling outside the window. There was a book on her knees, and she turned to a certain page but did not continue turning the pages.

I glanced over it and only saw a short sentence on the book.

"Love does no harm to others."

After pondering for a moment, I still couldn't remember where this sentence came from, so I curiously reached out and lifted the page. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a Bible.

No wonder he can say such nonsense in such a righteous way.

I didn't remember having such a book, so I asked Tongtong softly.

"I don't think I've ever taken this book?"

Hearing this, Tongtong shifted her gaze from the snowflakes outside the window, picked up the book in her hand, and shook it slightly.

"I brought this back from the library myself."

I looked at the Bible in Tongtong's hand with interest and continued to ask.

“Is this book interesting?”

Tongtong frowned, thought about it carefully, and then said seriously.

“It’s a little weird, but pretty fun.”

Hearing this, I smiled, put my arm around Tongtong's waist, and whispered.

"Then read it to me."

Tongtong smiled and nodded, then opened the book, put on a stern face, and began to read the words on the pages seriously. Following Tongtong's crisp voice, I slowly closed my eyes, exhaled gently, and felt the dull daily life that was already there.

This day was uneventful, nothing special happened, it was just an ordinary and warm daily routine.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep quietly listening to Tongtong's voice.

However, in contrast to my peaceful daily life, my dreams seemed strange and absurd.

This time, I dreamed of a huge green plant with a pink bud on the top that almost covered the entire city and looked like it would bloom at any time.

In the dark sky, there is no sun, no moon, not even a star, only deep darkness.

The entire land was on fire, tall buildings collapsed, corpses were everywhere, and only green vegetation was spreading rapidly.

I saw another me.

Broken and bloody, I lay in the ruins with a mad look on my face.

Suddenly, the darkness in the sky dissipated in an instant, and a huge black pupil occupied the entire sky, staring at me.

Unspeakable, indescribable fear instantly permeated my blood. I twitched, felt cold, and lost all my strength.

I seemed to remember something, looking at the indifferent pupils, gasping violently.

This is what... a god looks like.

Fear spread, and in this strange dream, I felt like someone was strangling my throat, unable to breathe or even think.

Just before I was about to suffocate, I suddenly woke up. When I came to my senses, I found that I was soaked in cold sweat. The fear in the dream was still following me, gnawing at my bones and making me shudder.

I was still in shock and looked around carefully, but found that I was still in the shadow in front of the French window. The heavy snow outside had stopped and the light was dim, it seemed that it was already evening.

Did I sleep for a whole day?

With my thoughts in a mess, I searched for Tongtong everywhere in the house and finally found her sleeping on the sofa.

However, Tongtong, who was sleeping soundly, was trembling slightly at this moment, her face was pale and she looked painful, as if she had also had a horrible nightmare.

I hurried forward, gently embraced Tongtong's body, and called out softly.

"Tongtong, wake up... wake up."

As I called her, Tongtong slowly opened her eyes, and the next moment, something strange happened.

I saw that the moment Tongtong opened her eyes, her pupils turned red, but then turned blue. Her pupils were vertical, as strange as a snake, but in the next moment, they changed again.

Just like the evolution of the pupils of countless animals, birds, beasts, and fish, in the end, it finally returns to its original black color.

This strange scene startled me, and a sense of uneasiness came to my mind.

"Tongtong, what's wrong with you?"

Tongtong stretched out her fair little hand, touched her forehead, looked struggling, and spoke to me in a hoarse voice.

"I...I seem to have...a little more."

"Strange memories."

As she spoke, Tongtong suddenly stretched out a finger, gently tapped my forehead, and spoke softly.

"We...were we...a long, long time ago?"

"You've seen it before?"

I couldn't understand what Tongtong meant by this sentence. When I was about to ask, I noticed that Tongtong's expression dimmed and she spoke softly.

"Maybe I remembered it wrong, don't worry about it."

How could I not care? When I was about to ask, Tongtong unexpectedly looked out the window and said in surprise.

"Is it snowing again?"

Hearing this, I subconsciously looked back, only to find that the heavy snow, which should have stopped, was falling again.

But those snowflakes seemed a little strange.

I stood up in shock and walked quickly to the window. Just then, a "snowflake" fell by the window, and I looked closely.

It was a pure white...petal.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind, my face turned pale, and I staggered backwards.

Those plants evolved again. They were no longer pink, but turned pure white.

Looking at the densely falling white petals outside the window, covering the sky, I suddenly realized.

Before I knew it, everything had come to the final moment.

Chapter 173 Part of the Truth

The white petals flying all over the sky looked like a horrible nightmare to me. I simply comforted Tongtong and made sure that she had no other abnormalities. Then I carried her back to the bedroom to rest. Without even having time to change into thick clothes, I hurriedly opened the door and ran out of the community.

The cold air instantly poured in through my collar, but at this moment I seemed not to feel the chill. My whole body lost all consciousness and I stepped forward in fear.

White petals fluttered down and sprinkled on my shoulders. The strange fragrance was everywhere, filling my nose and making me dizzy.

I held my breath, rejecting the smell, strode into the car, quickly started the truck, and drove out of the neighborhood.

The huge wheels rolling over the white ground caused a burst of white petals to fly and land on the windshield, as if they had consciousness, sticking to it and blocking my view.

I turned on the wipers, brushed away those damn white petals, stepped on the accelerator, and drove forward desperately.

Huge trucks were rushing through the streets at speeds that shouldn't have been possible. I no longer tried to avoid them. Whenever I encountered a car blocking the road, I would just ram it and keep moving forward.

Nothing happens without reason. The strange appearance of white petals at this time is definitely not a coincidence, but more like a hysterical outburst.

But why? Why did you choose such a time to tear your face off with me?

I clenched my teeth tightly, my eyes were bloodshot, regret, anger, and all kinds of emotions kept surging up.

During the time when I was hesitating, I wondered how far the plants had developed and whether I had missed the best opportunity to resist.

I hate my cowardice so much. If I hadn't wanted to escape from the responsibility that should have been mine, perhaps everything would have turned out well.

In the white world, those annoying zombies in the past seemed to have disappeared. The entire street was empty, without a single living thing.

Under my rough driving, the big truck soon became dilapidated, and finally it stalled completely in front of a pile of ruins. No matter how I turned the key, this big guy no longer responded.

I kicked open the car door angrily, jumped out and stepped on the ruins.

The white petals rain was still falling, and that strange fragrance was becoming stronger and stronger.
