I sell Coke in the doomsday

The car drove for a long time. Zi Su couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep in the car.
I deliberately slowed down the car to let this silly girl have a good sleep.
White snowflakes covered the ground. If I looked at the white outside the window for a long time, my eyes would feel sore and astringent, as if they wanted to squeeze out a few tears.
I blinked my dry eyes, feeling the bumps on the road. Sometimes white bones were exposed on the roadside. Under the pressure of the wheels, they made crisp breaking sounds and were then crushed into the mud.
Silently, I seemed to smell the smell of decay again, and a strong odor of death that seemed to be spreading out of my body, as if I was dying.
After a long time, the car I was driving broke through the thick snow and arrived at the gate of the shield stronghold.
Now that there are no zombies, the gate of the shield stronghold is no longer locked, and a cloud of black smoke is floating towards the sky from the depths of the stronghold.
At this time, Zi Su, who was sleeping soundly, slowly woke up.
Zi Su rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the gate of the stronghold, yawned, and said in a daze.
"So fast? I just fell asleep and you've already arrived at the base?"
I reached out and flicked my finger on Zi Su's forehead, then spoke softly.
"Wake up, you've been asleep for several hours."
Zi Su suddenly realized, smiled embarrassedly, opened the car door and said to me.
"Let me drive on the way back so you can catch up on your sleep."
I smiled and nodded, opened the car door, and walked out. Together with Zi Su, I walked into the gate of the shield stronghold.
At this time, it was already dusk, and the dark clouds blocked the sun, making the light a little dim.
As soon as I stepped into the stronghold, I saw a graceful girl standing behind the gate, waiting for me with a smile on her face.
The girl's eyebrows moved slightly, and she waved her hands at me with a smile.
"Brother Su, long time no see."
I was stunned for a moment and thought for a long time before I remembered the identity of the girl in front of me. She was Xiaoya, whom I brought back from the Gobi Desert, and she was also the daughter of Song Mingtao.
In five years, the little child has grown into a young girl. It really makes people sigh at the magic of time.
"Xiaoya, why are you here?"
Xiaoya cutely stuck out her tongue at me, and then spoke to me.
"The chief said that he dreamed that you would come to see him last night, so he asked me to wait for you here, Brother Su."
My eyes flickered, and I felt a little flustered, but I still smiled at Xiaoya and spoke softly.
"Well, Xiaoya is such a good kid."
When Xiaoya heard this, her eyes were filled with smiles, pure and without impurities. Then she turned around and led the way for Zisu and me.
Along the way, people in the stronghold would always stop and greet me politely.
"Hello, Mr. Su."
"Mr. Su..."
I nodded perfunctorily in response, but a strange emotion arose in my heart.
Su Li, the pseudonym I came up with on a whim at the time has now replaced my real name. No one in this world will call me by my real name anymore.
Chapter 212 Hell (Part 2)
Almost three months have passed since I last visited Ajie at the Shield Base.
It’s not that I forgot about Ajie, nor that I don’t care about Ajie’s illness.
I'm... just too busy.
The burden of being a savior is too heavy. This title almost crushed my original personality. I had to try to think about things from the perspective of a savior.
Thinking about the topic of sacrifice which I disliked the most before.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Under the guidance of Xiaoya, Zisu and I came to Ajie's room. Before I pushed the door open, I heard a violent coughing sound from the room.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!!”
I stood outside the door, holding the doorknob, looking gloomy and hesitant, wondering whether I should go in now.
After the coughing stopped, I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. In the wooden house, I saw Ajie lying on the bed with his hands tightly covering his mouth. Wang Zixuan stood beside him with red eyes, gently stroking Ajie's back.
Hearing the noise, Ajie raised his face, grinned, and just like he did back then, he scolded me without any politeness.
"I knew it was you. Your footsteps were so heavy and deep, like a zombie."
I also grinned, strode forward, and retorted.
"Stop talking bullshit to me. With your rotten ears, can you still hear my footsteps?"
"Just brag."
Ajie rolled his eyes and replied.
"I used to be a killer. It's easy for me to just listen to the footsteps."
As he was speaking, Ajie suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Zixuan who was standing beside him. Wang Zixuan understood, but looked a little unwilling. She stood up, turned around, took Zisu and Xiaoya and walked out of the room.
For a moment, Ajie and I were the only ones left in the room.
I looked at Ajie, who looked pale and weak. My heart felt like it was being squeezed and I felt uncomfortable. But Ajie still had that smiling face and spoke slowly.
"Lao Su, I'm going to die."
Hearing this, the muscles on my face moved and I retorted almost subconsciously.
"Don't try that on me. You look much more energetic than I do."
Ajie just smiled when he heard that and no longer talked back as usual. He gently rubbed his arm, which was withered, pale, and skinny.
"My own body, I know it myself."
"I won't make it through tonight."
Hearing this, my face darkened and I fell into silence. I stared blankly at Ajie lying on the hospital bed, not knowing what to say.
Ajie, however, was very open-minded, as if he was not the one being talked about, and smiled carefreely.
"Don't look so sad, I'm not dead yet."
As we were talking, Ajie started coughing violently again. I hurried over, supported him and helped him lie down again.
And Ajie finally stopped trying to be stubborn. He stared blankly at the dark roof and said in a hoarse voice.
"Time... passes so quickly."
I sat down beside his bed and whispered in agreement, also from the bottom of my heart.
"Yeah, time flies by so fast."
Ajie glanced at me, raised his eyebrows, and said to me.
"Lao Su...there's a candle in the cabinet next to you. Can you help me light it?"
I was a little confused, but I still stood up obediently and rummaged through the cabinet and found a white candle. During this time, Ajie spoke slowly and softly in his hoarse voice.
"In my hometown, there is a very strange custom."
“When a person is about to die, he should find a trustworthy person to light the candle that has been prepared.”
"It is said that... the dead can light the way for those who light candles."
My movements froze, and the hand holding the candle began to tremble slightly in the darkness. I turned my back to Ajie and spoke in a low voice, my voice suddenly becoming dry.
"You actually... still believe this?"
Ajie chuckled softly when he heard this, but his laughter was immediately interrupted by his cough. He pressed his chest and spoke slowly.
“I didn’t believe it before.”
"But now...I want to believe it."
"Just think of it as the willfulness of a dying man like me."
I stopped talking, lit the candle silently, held the white candle in my hand, and walked slowly to Ajie.
The dim candlelight, reflected on Ajie's pale face, actually had a hint of warmth.
Ajie's eyes were cloudy, and he looked at me carefully, with a calm look between his brows.
"Lao Su, do you know?"
"Actually, on the day I met you."
"I can't hold on any longer. I'm really hungry."
"If the person I met that day wasn't you, I might...have eaten human flesh."
Hearing this, I held the candle, smiled, nodded, and spoke softly.
"It can be seen that you really weren't a good person at that time."
Ajie's mouth corners raised, he suddenly felt a little proud, and said slowly.
"But I didn't, for sixteen years."
"I have never eaten human flesh."
I lowered my eyebrows, nodded heavily and responded.
"I know you've done a great job."
“No one can do it better than you.”
Hearing this, Ajie's brows relaxed and he whispered with great satisfaction.
“As expected of me.”
This was a joke and I should have laughed, but at this moment, looking at the weak Ajie, I couldn't laugh no matter what.
Seeing this, Ajie smacked his lips lightly and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Tsk, why don't you smile?"
Hearing this, I pulled the corners of my mouth, revealing an extremely ugly smile, and spoke with mixed feelings.
"You son of a bitch, how can I laugh?"
Upon hearing this, Ajie was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said in a low voice helplessly.
"Okay, that's a bad joke."
Ajie took a deep breath and his breathing seemed a little difficult. I hurriedly used my free hand to help him breathe, but he continued talking.
"I originally thought that I would die by blocking a bullet for you."
"I didn't expect... that I would die so hastily in the end."
Even at this moment, I was speechless and couldn't help but speak.
"I am immortal, what bullet did you block for me?"
Ajie was not convinced and continued talking.
"Good brother, aren't they all used to block bullets?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly. Even at this time, this guy Ajie just wouldn't let me rest assured.
After a while, Ajie said to me while panting.
"In return for me blocking the bullet for you, you have to take good care of Zixuan for me."
"She's a good girl, but she was unlucky to meet me."
My eyes dimmed, and under Ajie's gaze, I nodded heavily. Seeing this, Ajie breathed a sigh of relief and started talking nonsense again.
"If you restart time, remember to come drink with me."
"But I can't drink liquor and beer."
"You'd better come and see me with some Coke."
I nodded in agreement to all of Ajie's nonsense, without any intention of refuting him.
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the white candle in my hand swayed in the wind. Ajie blinked his eyes, and suddenly stretched out a hand, grabbed the corner of my clothes, looked terrified, and asked me breathlessly.
