"Which one do you want to listen to?"

I sighed, glanced at An who was very excited, and said.

"Let me hear the bad news first."

"You can't fix this car. You have to find another one to try."

"What about the good news?"

"There are plenty of broken cars here. You can fix them until you realize how bad your car repair skills are."

As soon as I finished speaking, the pickup truck's engine whined and stalled completely. I pulled out the car key, looked at An who was gloating, and couldn't help but say.

"I really shouldn't have let you watch that crosstalk DVD."

"real."

An's eyebrows danced with joy when he heard this. He clapped his hands and spoke in a very intoned manner.

"Hey, what were you doing so early?"

The corners of my mouth twitched and I grabbed An's little face without any hesitation.

"No, do you really want to keep talking like this?"

An felt pain and his little face was forced towards me, but he kept talking in a poor supporting role.

"My goodness, this sounds so fresh."

"Hey, there's something wrong with what you said."

"So... is this reasonable?"

"You can't say this in a questioning tone."

"That's reasonable!"

"Yes, yes, that's the taste."

"Mr. Su, if you don't let go, you will die miserably."

"Um... is this a joke?"

"You'll find out later!"

The daylight was shining brightly, and when An's teeth marks were left on my face, this farce finally came to an end.

I rubbed my face, looked at An who was angry, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

Is the angry and aggrieved An who appeared in the heavy rain a month ago really the guy with excess energy sitting next to me now?

As if he noticed my questioning look, An punched me in the chest without any hesitation. The punch was so light that it didn't hurt at all.

"Is it my illusion? Su Li, you look at me like I'm a fool?"

I rubbed my chest and smiled.

"He's obviously stupid, but his intuition is very sharp."

An's eyes moved, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile, he clenched his fists, moved closer to me, and spoke softly.

"You know, if you don't know how to compliment someone, you don't have to say anything."

I raised the corner of my mouth, but didn't care, and said in a low voice.

"I'm not complimenting you."

As soon as he finished speaking, An became furious again, raised his fist, and swung it at me, leaving me with nothing to do but defend myself.

Just like this, time passed slowly, and a day passed slowly in such meaninglessness.

By dusk, with the help of An, I finally found a pickup truck that could drive smoothly.

But I didn't drive the car away. I just sat on the roof with An, watching the sunset gradually setting over the steel jungle and listening to the roars of zombies gradually rising.

The breeze blew, with grass clippings flying, An slowly leaned towards me and snuggled in my arms. She looked melancholy, but no longer as energetic as she was during the day.

An's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he called out softly.

"Su Li."

I gently hugged An's body and responded in a low voice.

"I'm here."

An rubbed my shoulder with his little head, his eyes flickered, but he asked in a low voice.

"When are you going to kill me?"

I lowered my brows and spoke softly.

"Why would I kill you?"

This is not a greeting, but a question to myself.

This is my question, and only I can answer it.

An's lips curled up slightly, but there was not much of a smile on her face. She squeezed hard into my arms and spoke nonchalantly.

"I want to eat rabbit tonight."

The corner of my eye twitched, and I looked at An in my arms strangely, and said somewhat unnaturally.

"...Isn't your topic jumping too far?"

An wrinkled her small nose, then exhaled gently, but continued speaking.

"I hate stories with tragic endings. I can't hear them and I don't want to think about them."

"When I ask a question like this that has no good answer, you must never take it seriously."

"Use something interesting to divert the topic."

"Got it, you fool."

Hearing this, I let out a breath, looked into the distance, and spoke softly.

"Do not."

"This time, the ending will definitely be a good one."

Chapter 122: Go with the Flow (Part 2)

The sun and the moon rotate, and light and darkness alternate.

Time seems to pass faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Autumn goes and winter comes, and before we know it, it is already winter.

During this entire six months, I rarely left the city.

It’s not that I’m attached to anything, it’s just that I came too late and can’t do anything.

Before I arrived, most of this area had been controlled by Mo Li, and I was alone and could not do much to the remaining human strongholds.

On the contrary, Qu Yunliu, who had always been elusive to me, took the initiative to gather other strongholds and formed an alliance to fight against Mo Li's forces in order to resist the increasingly powerful ancient city stronghold.

Maybe it is really as Cangwu said, Mo Li is more resourceful than me. He seemed to have suddenly obtained some mysterious power, and his lackeys are no longer troubled by zombies.

As a result, there were less and less things I could do. During the past six months, I sneaked into the Shield stronghold, which had been renamed, and met Ajie several times.

In our plan, we should join forces to eliminate Qu Yunliu's forces and re-occupy the Shield Stronghold, but because of Qiqihar's danger, Ajie and I had to admit it.

Qu Yunliu is better at dealing with Li Qiye than the two of us.

So all plans were put on hold and we could only wait for subsequent developments.

During this half year, I became a doomsday merchant again, but this time I no longer sold Coke. Instead, I became an arms dealer who continued to provide guns and ammunition to the Shield Stronghold.

In order to allow the Shield Outpost to continue to fight against Mo Li's forces, I had to search the city for guns and ammunition, and then sell them to the Shield Outpost, pretending to exchange them for things I didn't need.

During the course of half a year, An gradually became weaker and weaker, from a non-human creature, becoming more and more like an ordinary girl, and her vitality seemed to be slowly fading away.

On this day, the city welcomed the first light snow of winter. I drove a pickup truck to the armory outside the city.

This seems to be the place where the army stores ammunition, but now it is completely desolate.

I braved the falling snow, exhaled a breath of hot air, wrapped my hands tightly, and moved box after box of bullets into the carriage.

An was wearing a thick white down jacket and had a pale face, but he squatted on the side, staring at the falling snowflakes in a daze, and from time to time he stuck out his tongue to catch the falling snowflakes.

She was getting weaker and weaker.

I don't know the reason for all this, but it seems to be related to what she said at the beginning. She gave all her energy to the original body, hoping that the original body could break out of the cocoon earlier.

And now it seems that she was hiding something from me.

While I was filling the carriage with bullets, An was using the fallen snow to build a small snowman.

I walked over quickly, brushed the snow off her shoulders, tightened the scarf around her neck, wrapped her little face tightly, blew out hot air from my mouth, and rubbed her palms.

"We should go, Ann."

I don't know when, Ann took off the gloves I gave her. Her originally pale palms were frozen red and covered with water stains, but she seemed not to be aware of the cold. After giving me a silly smile, she looked at the little snowman she had made and said softly.

"I'm going to give it a name."

I felt a little helpless and stuffed her hands into my arms, but asked submissively.

"What would you like to call it?"

An narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the strange-looking, pitiful little snowman, and uttered two words.

"Mountains and seas."

Looking at An's red nose tip caused by the cold, I felt a little distressed. I pulled her into the pickup truck and shook my head.

"This name is too weird, change it."

An didn't resist and followed me into the pickup truck, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with some pride.

"No, I won't."

"That's the name I want."

After entering the car, I felt warm. I exhaled hot air to warm An's palms while asking with a smile.

"What's so good about this name? Wouldn't it be better to call it Dabai?"

An looked at my movements, squinted his eyes and smiled, a hint of tenderness appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he spoke softly.

"A snowman can also have two names."

"Isn't it interesting? Even though they have two names, they are still one snowman."

My movements suddenly stopped, then resumed as before. I lowered my head, and when An saw my expression, he said nothing.

Seeing this, An kicked me lightly with her foot and pouted.

"Speak up, big fool."

I pursed my lips, trying to force a smile, but ultimately failed to do so. I had no choice but to lower my head again and spoke in a low voice with some suppression.

“I hate this process.”

Hearing this, An did not urge me any more. Her bright eyes moved and she reached out, hugged my head and leaned me into her arms.

"You idiot."

"So, why did you keep me here in the first place?"

A familiar and warm smell lingered in my nose. I took a slight breath, but my chest felt like something was blocking it, making me feel uncomfortable.

Even though I am slow-witted, I still understand what An, who is gradually getting weaker, has done during this half year.

She is disappearing, or rather, she is returning to her original form.

Perhaps it was when she gave her power to her body still in the cocoon that her fate was determined and she was considered the loser. As the day of her body's awakening approached, she became weaker and weaker.

Perhaps, when I wake up one day, An will disappear without a trace, like a melted snowman, never to be found again.

In the car, An lowered her head, rested her chin lightly on the top of my head, put her small hands gently around my neck, and spoke softly.

"There's nothing to be sad about. I am Tongtong and Tongtong is me."

"After the fusion, the main body will also possess my memories."
