I sell Coke in the doomsday

In the dim light of the flashlight, I took a look at the little guy in the cart, and saw him grinning and smiling foolishly, with his black eyes that seemed to reflect the stars in the sky.

Although he didn't understand what was happening, the little guy still waved his arms vigorously.

Children are always so cute when they are well behaved.

Looking at this scene, I felt even more helpless. I stretched out my free hand, gently pinched the little guy's face, and whispered to myself.

"You little guy, you really know how to act cute."

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you."

After saying that, I put the can of spoiled milk powder back on the shelf, but started to think in my mind.

There is no way to feed this little guy with just the milk powder.

Right now, I need a cow, or at least a goat, to get some cow's or goat's milk.

However, in this doomsday, there are no such ready-made things. Fortunately, in my memory, in a place far away, there are several goats raised.

The question was, how could I get a goat?

After much thought, I can only think of one solution, which is to go back to my old job and be a doomsday businessman.

Now the question is, how much Coke is needed to exchange for a goat?

……

At the same time, the top leaders of the current Blue Mountain stronghold, which will be the future Shield stronghold, all appeared in the conference room at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, there were ten figures sitting neatly in the Blue Mountain stronghold, both men and women, but most of them did not look too old, and Qu Yunliu was naturally among them.

In addition to these ten people, there was another person standing in the simple conference room, looking at the long conference table with caution. Looking closely, it was Ajie.

At this moment, these young people all had solemn expressions on their faces, and their eyes were focused on a skull on the table.

Ajie looked at everyone, neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke slowly.

"It should be a few days ago that the people of the Huangshan Village near the ancient city stronghold have been completely destroyed by the people of the ancient city stronghold."

"When I got there, it was already the end of the stronghold war. I could only hide and watch those guys do the finishing work."

"Just like Qu Yunliu said, after the food and supplies were transported away, the people in the ancient city stronghold began the massacre. Their methods were cruel and inhumane."

At this point, Ajie's eyes flickered, and after wandering for a moment, his gaze fell on the head on the table. He took a step forward, pinched the head that was only left with bones, and said with a serious look in his eyes.

"But at this moment, a man who could transform into a monster rushed out and killed everyone present."

As if to prove himself, Ajie fiddled with the skull in his hand and spoke slowly.

"Although you will think I am talking about something like the Arabian Nights."

"But the power of that monster is definitely not something a human can do."

At this point, Ajie turned his skull and revealed the location of his crown to everyone present.

I saw a very narrow wound on the wall of the white skull.

"Everyone should know that the human skull is actually very hard, but that monster used a strange blade to penetrate the skull of the ancient city stronghold man directly from his chin with just one attack, and it didn't leave any big wounds."

"You can all see the scars on this skull. Thanks to those zombies, they were able to gnaw the skull so cleanly."

Chapter 99: Undercurrent (②)

"It is not possible for a human to penetrate from the jaw to the skull in an instant, and to concentrate the force at one point."

After saying that, Ajie paused for a moment, looked around at everyone present, and spoke in a deep voice with a serious expression.

"What I want to say is very simple. That ancient city stronghold is full of weirdness, and so are the people who are related to them. It is better for us to avoid them."

After the words fell, there was a silence in the field. Except for Qu Yunliu, whose face became increasingly gloomy, the other nine people all looked as if they were thinking about something, but no one responded to Ajie's words.

After a moment, one of the nine young girls touched her chin, frowned, and spoke softly.

"The people in the ancient city stronghold are a little too brutal. Should we find a way to get rid of them?"

"I agree."

"I agree."

Unlike Ajie, as soon as the girl finished speaking, she was greeted with a wave of approving voices.

Seeing this, helplessness flashed in Ajie and Qu Yunliu's eyes at the same time. Today's meeting was initiated by the two of them. The purpose was actually very simple, which was to prevent the nine people from being stupid and going against the current ancient city stronghold.

At this time, the Blue Mountain stronghold was actually controlled by these nine young people. They were very good, had ideals, and were very kind.

It's just... a little too idealistic.

Ever since the guy named Mo Li came to the ancient city stronghold, it has possessed a large number of weapons in a very short period of time, and his style of behavior has become arrogant, domineering, cruel and brutal.

Such behavior aroused the disgust of this group of young people. With a strong sense of justice, they wanted to stop the people in the ancient city stronghold. In other words, they wanted to have a dispute with the ancient city stronghold.

This was something Qu Yunliu didn't want to see, so he called Ajie and tried to persuade the other nine people, but now it seems that this has no effect.

The nine people in the field were talking about the ancient city stronghold with great interest, and how to rescue the ordinary people in the ancient city stronghold.

Those passionate, inspiring and silly words made Qu Yunliu feel more and more annoyed when he heard them.

Just as everyone was talking excitedly, Qu Yunliu pushed away his chair and slowly stood up. Seeing this, the nine people were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes were focused on Qu Yunliu.

Qu Yunliu seemed to have been prepared. He took out a piece of paper, looked at everyone present, and spoke slowly.

"I have bad news to tell you all. Our base is short of food, supplies, guns and ammunition."

"At least for now, we are not qualified to provoke the Ancient City Outpost, so before the outpost enters a stable development, it is best for us not to ..."

Before Qu Yunliu could finish speaking, a young man among the nine people adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, frowned, and said somewhat unhappily.

"Xiao Qu, stop saying such discouraging words."

"You have to know that at this very moment, people in the ancient city stronghold may be dying and being excessively abused."

"We must rescue them as soon as possible."

There was a hint of impatience in Qu Yunliu's eyes, but he didn't show it immediately. He just nodded slightly, then looked down at the paper in his hand, and spoke slowly in that voice without joy or sadness.

"Since everyone doesn't like to hear this, let me talk about something more important."

As he spoke, Qu Yunliu shook the paper in his hand, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he spoke slowly.

"There has been little rain this year and the temperature is very high, so the grain yield will not be very good."

"If this continues, hundreds of people will starve to death this winter."

Qu Yunliu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone changed. His originally gentle face now had a hint of sarcasm, and he spoke slowly and leisurely.

"For this reason, I agree that we should clash with the Ancient City stronghold. If more people die, we will have less pressure this winter."

"It would be best if some of the old people in the base could die. They no longer have any labor force and are of no value."

Such naked ridicule made the faces of the nine people present change. They looked at Qu Yunliu who was speaking with extremely unfamiliar eyes, as if today was the first time they met this old friend.

Without waiting for everyone to start attacking, Qu Yunliu first set his sights on a man, with an indifferent expression and spoke in a cold voice.

"Do you know how many people are starving in the stronghold every day?"

"Do you know how many of the thirty-seven people who died last winter died of starvation and how many died of freezing?"

"Do you know how many people in the base are actually available for work?"

Three questions in a row made the nine people look stunned, but they couldn't answer them at all.

Seeing this, Qu Yunliu leaned forward slightly, looked down at the nine silent people, and spoke slowly.

"I know you are good people and you really want to save people."

"But after rescuing people, have you ever considered how many people our base can support in this era?"

"We must increase the yield of our crops and improve the efficiency of our strongholds."

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Human rights and morality can only be considered after people have enough to eat."

"Unlike you, I don't care about the lives of others outside the base. I just want the people inside this base to stay alive."

Because, they are my things.

Having said that, Qu Yunliu silently swallowed his true feelings. Now was not the time for him to expose himself.

At the very least, he had to wait until he had built up his own power, and then he could speak freely and kill all these nine troublesome guys.

But before that, I still need to pretend to be a less bad person.

Qu Yunliu glanced at Ajie secretly and made a gesture. Ajie understood and retreated silently. At the same time, a group of people surrounded them in an instant, holding spears in their hands, and surrounded the nine people.

"Xiao Qu, what do you mean?!"

Listening to the angry questioning of the crowd, Qu Yunliu just blinked his eyes, then slowly sat down and spoke calmly.

"The sense of justice is a horrible thing. I hate it."

"This kind of thing will make people overestimate their own abilities and do stupid things, and it will also deceive you and bring you an addictive sense of satisfaction."

"so……"

"In order to prevent this stronghold from being destroyed by your foolish sense of justice, I must take some tough measures."

As he spoke, Qu Yunliu lowered his head slightly, looking somewhat helpless, but unnoticed by anyone, a hint of regret flashed across his eyes.

It’s a pity that we can’t kill these nine people now.

This action was several years earlier than he had planned, and there were significant differences.

The group of people holding guns now will definitely not kill any of these nine people, because they admire and respect these guys, and the reason they participated in this action was only because they were temporarily bewitched by him.

They believed in Qu Yunliu, and as long as they did what he said, no one would freeze to death this winter.

If these nine people were killed now, it would definitely cause unnecessary unrest, and this small Blue Mountain stronghold could not withstand any unrest.

If I could have done it a year or two later, I would have been able to build up my own power and easily kill these nine people.

Unfortunately, all of this was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the ancient city stronghold.

Chapter 100: Undercurrent (Part 3)

This was not a riot, no one was bloodied, no one was injured.

This seems to be an ending that everyone is satisfied with.

Except... Qu Yunliu.

The nine people were quickly taken away. For a moment, only Qu Yunliu and Ajie were left in the field. Qu Yunliu frowned slightly, walked to the middle position, sat down slowly, stared at Ajie who refused to leave, and said in a deep voice.

"Anything else?"

Ajie looked cautious, glanced at Qu Yunliu without leaving a trace, and then spoke softly.

"I'm worried, will you abide by our previous agreement?"

Where Ajie couldn't see, Qu Yunliu's fingers moved slightly, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he had to make a helpless expression and smiled bitterly.

"Why would you doubt this? To me, the nine of them are my friends and family. If it weren't for this stronghold, I wouldn't even do what I did today."

While Qu Yunliu was speaking, Ajie had been secretly observing his expression, trying to find clues from it, but there was not a trace of falsehood in Qu Yunliu's tone and look, which made Ajie feel relieved and temporarily put aside his doubts.

Qu Yunliu doesn't have much power now. In the past, he always seemed a little weak among the ten people, and he didn't care much about the entire stronghold.

If it weren't for Ajie's help, Qu Yunliu would never have succeeded in what happened tonight.

After putting aside his doubts, Ajie wanted to help this young man more, so he took the initiative to talk to Qu Yunliu.

"Is there anything I can do?"

Qu Yunliu gently wiped away the fine dust on the table with his fingers, his eyes flickered, his brows furrowed, and he sighed.

“There are many things.”

"There are very few people in our stronghold, and the city walls are very poorly built, without even a sentry tower."

"Due to the problem of seeds, the types of crops planted are diverse and chaotic, and the yields are not high."

"Ajie, you have the best survival ability in the base. I want you to help me go outside and get some seeds back."

"It would be best if we can get potatoes, but if not, corn is also a good choice."

Upon hearing this, Ajie frowned slightly and looked a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke softly.
