I sell Coke in the doomsday

"Speak, or the next shot won't go astray."

Xinghe finally reacted after hearing this. She stretched out her little hand and stroked her cheek which had just been grazed by a bullet. She lowered her brows, looked at the flowing lake water under her feet, and spoke softly.

"I... don't know what to say."

There was a complex flash in Zi Su's eyes, but then he replied coldly.

"You mean there's nothing to say?"

Xinghe slowly raised her face. There was no trace of hostility on her fair face. Just a little expectation. She asked Zisu softly.

"Sister, do you think I'm a monster?"

After he finished speaking, Zi Su was stunned, and the hand holding the gun shook slightly, but then Zi Su returned to normal and spoke in a deep voice.

"Look at that huge thing behind you. Isn't the answer obvious?"

Hearing such an answer, the expectation in Xinghe's eyes dimmed instantly, and the hand that was stroking her cheek fell down weakly. She looked gloomy like an ordinary girl, and smiled bitterly in a low voice.

"Yeah, I'll let you see something like this."

"There is no reason to refute it."

"only……"

Suddenly, Xinghe raised her little face, a strange light flashing in her eyes, and she smiled with inexplicable expectation on her face and said.

“But I don’t think so.”

"I can live like you humans..."

"Even if we are monsters, we are still alive."

"Is it right?"

Xinghe's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she looked at Zisu again with anticipation, hoping that this time, Zisu could give her the answer she wanted.

But Zi Su remained unmoved. Instead, he gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

"Don't be silly, didn't you want to attack me last night?"

"At that time, you wanted to kill me!"

Hearing this, Xinghe's pupils shrank slightly, her body trembled, and her already fair face became even paler, without a trace of blood. She looked at Zi Su who was full of anger, and wanted to refute out loud, but in the end, she was left with only a bitter smile.

Yeah, how to explain it?

At that time, I was indeed controlled by my own instincts and became strange. This is undeniable.

A breeze blew by, Xinghe no longer refuted anything, but looked at Zisu, and squeezed out three words from her lips with some difficulty.

"Feel sorry."

After saying this, as if out of guilt, Xinghe stopped talking and lowered her head obediently, as if ready to be killed. However, when she looked at the lake flowing under her feet, memories came to her mind along with the ripples of the water.

……

A long time ago, a pink petal fell on the lake. A fish swimming in the water jumped out of the water and swallowed the pink petal.

In this way, the pink petals grew inside the fish's body, then broke through the fish's body and were exposed at the bottom of the lake, attracting more fish, more and more.

As countless fish grew pink flowers, an ignorant consciousness was also born among those countless flowers. Out of instinct, it took root at the bottom of the lake, absorbed the flesh and blood of the creatures at the bottom of the lake, and grew slowly.

That ignorant consciousness, unable to see the world outside the lake, grew wildly in the dim light. The bottom of the lake was very deep and very dark.

It couldn't see anything, and it vaguely felt that the world was just like this, dark and with nothing.

Until one day, it finally grew tall enough to touch the surface of the lake, and through the swaying lake water, it saw the starry sky.

The night is like a curtain, dotted with countless stars, and the bright moon hangs high in the clouds.

The silvery moonlight is scattered, the glass-like light is clear, the lake reflects the sea of ​​stars, the waves are sparkling, and the mottled beauty is outlined with an extremely fine brush.

That was the most beautiful scenery it had ever seen since its birth, and it was also the first time it knew that the entire world was not just this small lake.

The world is vast and magical.

At that moment, it felt a strange emotion for the first time. It wanted to share this beautiful scenery with others and tell others how much it loved this sea of ​​stars.

However, in that dark lake, there are only fish like it that are ignorant and survive based on instinct.

Then, for the first time, it understood the feeling of loneliness.

It has always been dependent on the fish, and does not understand that once it has seen the sun, it cannot tolerate the darkness.

Later, it saw zombies wandering on the shore. Logically, it wanted to become the companion of those zombies. By chance, a zombie that looked like a young girl came into contact with pink petals growing on the shore.

So, it finally gained a body that was free to move, and it became her.

That day, it ran happily on the plains, shouting, trying to attract the attention of other zombies.

However, in the end, no zombie responded to her. After the ecstasy, what awaited her was the same loneliness as before.

On countless nights, she would sit by the lake, quietly looking at the starry sky, imagining that there was a creature with whom she could communicate, sitting beside her and listening to her tell the stories of each star.

After gaining a body that could move freely, the belated memories of her race began to awaken in her mind, but she didn't care. She just looked at the stars every day, waiting for friends who might never come.

She often saw a shabby pickup truck passing by in the distance. She tried to get closer, but she could sense a very dangerous aura coming from the car. It was the natural enemy of her race.

So she could only stay where she was and continue waiting.

One day, one month, one year, two years.

Day after day, year after year, she sat by the lake, taking root at the bottom of the lake, sprouting branches and leaves, and slowly went crazy as time passed.

Why... no one came?

Even... even if there is only one person, she will not hurt them. She just wants to talk to someone.

During the long wait, only the stars in the sky would not break their promise and would sprinkle their starlight on her again and again.

There are many memories in this occupied body. The unknown girl seems to be a very lonely person. She has no special story and no friends. The only pale memories are the countless strangers who passed by.

Until that day, she finally met a human girl who spoke to her in a stuttering language, talked to her, ate strange food, and took her to see her favorite stars.

For the first time, I had my own name.

First time smiling.

For the first time, I had my own name.

She thought that she should be alive and that she should have a life.

Until last night, the long-hidden instinct mixed with his own desires and revealed his own fangs.

……

The lake water was flowing, and Xinghe seemed to finally understand something. She raised her head, a layer of mist in her eyes. She looked at Zisu on the shore from afar, just like when they first met, showing her most beautiful, most sincere and most cherished smile, and whispered.

"I never wanted to hurt you."

"I... just... just... hold you."

The next moment, gunshots rang out and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, swaying towards the shore in circles.

Chapter 91: Life (II)

The gunshot echoed, and a bullet penetrated the cold lake water, spinning, and then slid down.

Zi Su held the gun and looked at Xing He who did not dodge. The wrist holding the gun finally began to tremble slightly.

If Xinghe had moved at all, the bullet would have hit her, but from beginning to end, she did not move at all, as if she wanted to calmly welcome her own death.

Zi Su put down the hand holding the gun, and the hostility and indifference in her eyes finally disappeared. She looked at Xinghe with a complicated expression, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, so she could only ask Xinghe softly.

"You really aren't hiding?"

Hearing this, Xing He looked frank, with relief in her eyes. She looked at Zi Su, smiled warmly, and said nonchalantly.

"Don't hide."

Zi Su seemed to be helpless with Xing He who was so frank. She seemed tired, so she sat down by the lake, looking at Xing He who was standing in the middle of the lake, and smiled in a pretentious manner.

"never mind."

"I finally have a sister, she can't die in my hands."

Sometimes, Zi Su couldn't help but wonder why she became so soft-hearted after just a few days of spending time together. But after thinking about it, she couldn't come up with any answer.

So, just stop thinking about it and let her do it.

Xinghe in the lake had a gentle look in her eyes and eyebrows. The huge branches supported her body and slowly moved towards the shore. She observed carefully. If Zisu showed any intention of escaping, she would stop and go back to a distance.

She didn't want to scare her only friend.

Zi Su seemed to have completely let down his guard. He looked at Xing He who was slowly approaching, without any movement and with an indifferent expression.

Xinghe slowly landed on the shore and asked Zisu with some surprise.

"Sister, are you really not afraid?"

Hearing this, Zi Su asked Xing He in return.

"What are you afraid of?"

Such a righteous look made Xinghe stunned for a moment. She looked at Zisu cautiously and asked in a low voice.

"Sister, are you really not afraid that I will hurt you?"

Zi Su threw his hands out like a broken jar and said indifferently.

"What are you afraid of? If you really wanted to hurt me, you wouldn't have saved me when I fell into the lake yesterday."

When Zi Su heard this, her body swayed, and then she burst into laughter. Her laughter was very small at first, but after a while it became louder and louder, and finally she squatted on the ground, holding her stomach.

According to the information Xinghe obtained from this body, when humans laugh heartily, they will have such movements, which probably means they are very happy.

She was not human, but at this moment, she wanted to make herself like one, even if only a little.

"…Is it that funny?"

Zi Su was puzzled, but looking at Xing He who was laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, he couldn't help laughing with her.

After a moment, Zi Su stood up, patted the dirt off his body, solemnly extended his right hand to Xinghe, and said with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Zi Su."

"I want a sister."

Seeing this, Xinghe followed suit and frowned, stretched out her wet palm, held Zisu's right hand, and spoke softly.

"Hello, I'm Xinghe."

"I want someone to watch the stars with me."

Hearing this, Zi Su raised his eyebrows, blinked his eyes, and said to Xing He, who was full of expectation, with a look of surprise.

"Isn't this a coincidence? I happen to be free today."

"How about this, you be my sister for a day, and I'll watch the stars with you for a night."

After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had said a lot, but also as if they had said nothing.

This is not a great story, just a somewhat strange friendship that sprouted when it was least expected and was destined not to survive this cold winter.

……

There are twenty-four hours in a day, sixty minutes in an hour, and sixty seconds in a minute. When you calculate it this way, a day seems a little long.

But think about it, a day only has twenty-four hours, it's just a blink of an eye.

As if not wanting to waste this short time, Zi Su and Xing He sat on the shore, listening to Zi Su's stories and Xing He's stories.

Talk to each other without reservation, express your wishes one by one, and say goodbye in a free and easy manner.

The lake flows and time passes by little by little.

Dusk fell, the sun half set, and the roar of cars could be heard in the distance.

Zi Su, who was sitting on the shore, felt something in her heart and looked back subconsciously. She knew that it was the boss who had returned with the people who were surrounding the shield stronghold.

How long will it take them to find this place?

Could you go slower?

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
