I sell Coke in the doomsday

"I didn't disappear."

I took a deep breath, and my voice was a little hoarse and unpleasant.

"I know."

“But I hate this process.”

An lowered his eyebrows and said nothing more, but just like he did to me back then, he gently stroked my head with his little hands, smiling and silent.

After a long time, I finally sorted out my emotions, which made me feel even sadder.

Having witnessed so many separations and deaths, I finally became numb to my own separations and deaths.

Whether I want to or not.

When the pickup truck started again, An leaned against the window, glanced at the snowman, and suddenly asked softly.

"Silly, let me ask you a question."

"When will that snowman melt?"

I turned my head and looked at the snowman in the wind and snow and said softly.

"It should be... after this winter."

Hearing this, An's eyes showed a hint of envy. He looked at the snowman and murmured softly.

"so good."

“It still has that much time.”

Chapter 123: Go with the Flow (Part 3)

Heavy snow fell, covering the entire city in pure white.

The zombies of the past have disappeared completely, and they don’t seem to like the snowy weather. Thanks to this, the city has become much quieter.

The pickup truck rolled over the thin snow, leaving a long tire track. An lay in front of the car window, stretched his hand out of the window, and caught the falling snowflakes.

An Bing didn't like the depressing atmosphere. He pinched the snowflakes falling into his palms and laughed softly.

"You seem to be not paying much attention to the human settlement recently."

“This is not a good thing.”

I looked straight ahead, but couldn't help but glance at An from time to time. After hearing what she said, I could only lower my eyebrows and speak in a low voice.

“Maybe, I don’t want to do the same things as before.”

An's body trembled slightly, but he did not turn back. He uttered two words in a somewhat ethereal voice.

"fraud."

I lowered my eyebrows a little more and stopped talking as if to avoid the question, but An continued to speak softly.

"You were willing to kill me for those people in the past."

"How could I really give up?"

I held the steering wheel, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the car window, a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of my mouth, and then I whispered.

“Maybe my sense of responsibility has been stripped away.”

An withdrew his little hand from the car window, his expression a little dazed. He looked at the melting snowflakes in his palm, but smiled softly and spoke slowly in a weak voice.

"No, you didn't strip away that troublesome thing."

"Do you...have any new ideas?"

"If there is, I think... it's better not to take the risk."

"Whether it's maintaining the status quo or an imperfect ending, don't risk yourself."

I was speechless and could only remain silent, not wanting to answer this question.

Just as An said, I have been looking for a way to have the best of both worlds for a long time, but time never waits for anyone. With time pressing down on me, I can only think and act at the same time.

When the urgency of time and my subconscious actions came into play, I had no other choice.

I am like a puppet. I think my efforts are great, but in reality I am just drifting with the flow of time.

But this time, perhaps I really had a flash of inspiration. From the day I met An, an extremely dangerous idea had been lingering in my mind.

Of course, it may also be that I am really tired of such a life.

While longing for a slim glimmer of hope for survival, one is also secretly praying for a thorough destruction.

Otherwise, how could I have such a crazy idea.

If I make a mistake, I will never have a chance to start over. Instead, everything will be ruined and there will be no recovery.

But...but if my somewhat crazy guess comes true, then whether it is me, Tongtong or An, we can end this long farce and have a worthy ending.

So, even if it means I'm just like a moth flying into a flame, I'm going to take a chance.

Perhaps it is destined that I should be a crazy gambler who does not deserve sympathy.

Suddenly, An stretched out his hands covered with snow and water, and with a strange smile, he forced his hands into my neck.

The cold snow water instantly made my body tremble and I shrank my neck, but An looked at me with a smile, raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, and said proudly.

"How about ice?"

Stimulated by the cold, I subconsciously stepped on the accelerator and stopped the pickup truck, but before I could say anything, An moved from the passenger seat to straddle my legs.

Before I could react, An's hands came up and held my face. Her long black hair was scattered, and some strands brushed against my lips, which made me feel a little itchy.

My throat moved, and I wanted to tell Ann that this posture seemed indecent, but in the end I didn't say what would sound stupid.

But after the initial surprise, I raised my head slightly, looked at An's slightly shining eyes with her scattered long hair, and spoke softly.

"I didn't know you were so good at flirting."

An lowered her head slightly, but pursed her lips when she heard that. Her smile was as bright as a flower, but I couldn't bear to look directly at her brilliant smile.

While laughing softly, An held my face, but with some force, and spoke softly.

"Why don't you think about whether you have poor self-control and are too easy to tease?"

"If you hadn't touched me, maybe another girl would have seduced you with just a flirtation."

Hearing this, I smiled bitterly, but An's eyes flashed. He pinched my facial muscles with both hands, shook them up and down, and whispered.

"Remember you said you would take me to the lake?"

"At least this time, I think you have to keep your promise."

My eyes flickered, I nodded subconsciously, and spoke softly.

"But now the lake is frozen over, there's nothing to see."

An didn't care, but leaned over slightly, put his forehead close to mine, looked at me gently, and spoke softly.

"I don't care, as long as I can see it."

Looking at An's expectant eyes, my heart softened, but I also felt a little uneasy. That lake was like a curse. Every time I wanted to take Tongtong to the lake, something bad would always happen.

After hesitating for a moment, I nodded slightly and whispered.

"Okay, I'll take you there now."

"Anyway, everything that needs to be done today has been done."

Hearing this, An's face lit up with joy, and he was a little overjoyed. He broke away from my arms, sat back in the passenger seat, and started muttering excitedly.

"Well, I finally caught you."

"If you dare not keep your promise today, I will twist off your ears and make them into a cold dish."

I curled my lips, restarted the pickup truck, turned the car around, drove towards the lake, and whispered.

"I don't remember being taught to say that. Who did you learn that from?"

An raised his nose, stuck out his tongue, made a face at me, and said somewhat unconvinced.

"Pah, pah, pah, if I ever learned to swear, it must be from you."

"Don't try to put the blame on me. You know, I am just a blank sheet of paper, and you are the big dye vat."

Hearing this, I rolled my eyes and couldn't help but smiled back.

"It's really interesting. This is the first time I've heard someone call themselves a blank slate. It sounds like they're scolding themselves."

As I was talking, I glanced at the cheerful An. The wind and snow were pouring in through the car window. The scarf that I had tied tightly around her had already loosened, and her face was slightly red from the cold.

I shook my head, and without even looking at the moving pickup truck, I leaned over and re-tied the scarf around Ann's neck.

After tying the scarf, An smiled sweetly at me with a gleam in her eyes. I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so I sat back in my original seat, touched my slightly hot face, and also touched a ring that I had secretly found.

"call……"

I exhaled a breath of hot air, mustered up my courage, and turned back suddenly.

"An, you..."

Suddenly, the voice stopped and my body froze in place. The place where An was was empty, with only some clothes and white hot air.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

The time belonging to An suddenly ended at this moment.

All that was left was the falling snow, which poured into the car and landed on my face, freezing me to the bone.

Chapter 124 True Reunion

The wind and snow continued, but there was nothing among the pale steaming heat.

It was as if the time had been calculated and it was done on purpose.

I stared at the empty passenger seat in a daze for a long time.

I think at this moment, in the big white cocoon in the center of the city, Tongtong, who has become a complete body, is breaking out of the cocoon and returning to this world.

Perhaps there is a huge roar, or perhaps there is a spectacular sight of all white Epiphyllums blooming all at once, or perhaps it is just plain and dull, without any unusual phenomenon.

Anyway, this matter is related to me and should be one of the most important things in my life.

But at this moment, I just stared at that empty space, lost in thought, and murmured softly.

"install……"

This complicated feeling is hard to describe. I just felt like someone had dug a piece of my heart out for no reason. Blood was gushing out, but it couldn't be stopped. A piece was missing forever.

I know that An is Tongtong and Tongtong is An.

But I still feel indescribable loneliness at this moment.

It was as if time had stopped in the vast universe and everything was frozen in an instant, without any sound or light.

"call……"

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, leaned back, and then let out a long, trembling breath.

From now on, no matter how much time passes, I think I will never see An again.

An is indeed Tongtong, but she is also the weakest, most hidden side of Tongtong that I have never seen.

She is lively and quirky, but she can also question me angrily and aggrievedly in the rain, trying to find an excuse for herself.

But at the same time, she was also very weak. She kept saying that she hated me, but she didn't know how to hate someone at all.

If it is hatred, then you should grit your teeth, never look back, and never regret.

Suddenly, I didn’t know whether I should go to see Tongtong who was waking up.

If we meet again, looking at Tongtong who is well-behaved but suppresses her true nature, I don’t know what expression I should make.

It was snowing heavily, and the pure white snowflakes soon covered the car windows, as if trapping me in this old, broken pickup truck.

I felt in my pocket, trying to find a cigarette, but then I suddenly remembered that An had already secretly burned all my cigarettes.

As if I had a craving for cigarette, I licked my dry lips, started the pickup truck again, and said to myself in a self-deceiving way.

"I'm so annoyed, let's go find a cigarette."
