I sell Coke in the doomsday

The corner of my eye twitched as I felt Tongtong's suspicious gaze moving back and forth between me and Ajie. Ajie wanted to say a few more words, but I picked up a can of Coke and threw it at him, saying angrily.

"Please don't talk like a nagging woman, sir."

Ajie was agile and caught the Coke I threw to him. He glanced and finally saw Tongtong sitting in the passenger seat. He was stunned for a moment and asked me.

"Who is this?"

I didn't intend to hide anything. I reached out and held Tongtong's hand and said what I meant briefly.

"She is Tong Tong."

Tongtong gave me a cute look but didn't pull her hand away from mine. Instead, she smiled politely and distantly at Ajie and said softly.

"Hello, Ajie."

Ajie reacted quickly, without any pause, and said with a smile.

"So it's my sister-in-law. Sorry, sorry."

Having said that, Ajie tactfully closed the car door and walked in front, evacuating the crowd while leading the way for me.

Tongtong's face turned slightly red. She didn't know if it was because the word "sister-in-law" just now made her a little shy. The look she gave Ajie was not as distant as before.

"This time, this person is not so annoying."

Hearing this, I just smiled and said nothing.

In this reincarnation, everything has changed drastically, and this is the easiest thing to understand.

In the repeated reincarnations of the past, Tongtong has always been indifferent to other humans. It seems that no one can arouse her interest and make her take a second look at them.

But this time, maybe she had completely let down her guard, or maybe... Tongtong was becoming a real human being, making her no longer look like an alien.

The truck drove slowly and stopped in front of a warehouse under Ajie's command.

Tongtong and I got out of the car, no longer paying attention to what was happening on the truck side, and walked straight towards Ajie. Ajie had already put away his smile, and when I came over, he frowned and spoke straight to the point.

"The situation is a bit bad. This base is short of everything. What did you bring this time?"

Before I could answer, a burst of surprised shouts came from the truck.

"Rice! It's rice!"

Hearing the cheers from afar, Ajie was stunned for a moment, then he let out a long breath, showing a relieved expression, and said with a smile.

“It’s actually food.”

"You really acted as a savior this time. I almost doubted whether you came at the right time."

I waved my hand gently, with a gentle expression, and spoke softly.

"Although it's rice, there are a lot of bugs in it, so don't be disgusted."

Upon hearing this, Ajie shook his head slightly, turned around and made a gesture of invitation, then walked forward with Tongtong and me, speaking slowly.

"You know, this time worm is also a good piece of meat. Why would you dislike it? I'm curious, where did you find so much rice?"

I walked forward slowly, kicked away the stones blocking my way, and explained softly.

“This is actually easier than you think.”

"The food in the city before the apocalypse is enough to supply the millions of people in Yanglin City. It is enough for this stronghold to eat for a hundred years. As long as you are willing to spend time looking for it, you will definitely find it."

"The only problem is that this rice cannot be preserved for ten years. It gets damp and worm-eaten. It is barely edible now."

Upon hearing this, Ajie looked at me thoughtfully and said uncertainly.

"Regarding this, I have heard that there are some methods that can preserve rice for ten years, but those methods may not be perfect now."

"But if you can find rice, just send it to me and I'll find a way to preserve it."

I nodded slightly, agreeing to this matter, and said.

"This is not a difficult task. I will send you three more carts of rice tomorrow. You don't have to worry about your food for the winter. As for the charcoal for heating, I have also found some recently."

Hearing this, Ajie looked at me with some surprise, then patted my shoulder happily and said.

"I knew that you wouldn't have spent the past six months in vain."

As he spoke, Ajie paused, raised his eyebrows, and spoke softly.

"I'm at ease leaving these matters to you. Now that lunatic Qu Yunliu wants to see you."

"That guy is much more difficult than I thought. You have to be careful."

When saying these words, Ajie had no intention of avoiding Tongtong at all. Normally, he would not say these words in front of someone he met for the first time.

This is the tacit understanding between Ajie and me. He will not doubt the people I bring, especially when this person has a close relationship with me, he will naturally think of him as one of his own.

As we walked, the wooden house where Qu Yunliu stayed in my memory appeared in my sight. Ajie was a little worried and kept giving me some reminders along the way.

"The life-saving talisman you left for me is not that useful. If you don't have any means to convince Qu Yunliu, don't provoke him."

"Before the ancient city stronghold disappears, he won't do anything bad to us. It would be more troublesome to break up with him in advance."

I was a little surprised and couldn't help but interrupt Ajie's instructions and asked.

"It sounds like you think highly of Qu Yunliu."

Hearing this, Ajie shrugged slightly and explained helplessly.

"Rather than saying it's a high evaluation, it's more like I can't figure out what this lunatic is thinking and I'm a bit helpless about what to do with him."

As we were talking, the wooden house appeared in front of us. Ajie stopped and said to me with a serious expression.

"Be careful and don't be impulsive."

I nodded obediently without any objection, then took Tongtong's hand and strode into the wooden house.

The moment I stepped into the wooden house, the difference in light between inside and outside made me lose my sight briefly. Three seconds later, my vision gradually recovered, and I saw Qu Yunliu sitting in front of the wooden table in the house. He lit a candle and whispered.

"Do you need me to introduce myself, Su Li, Mr. Su?"

I took Tongtong and walked over, sat down at the long wooden table, looked at Qu Yunliu who had been waiting for a long time, and replied calmly.

"no need."

"I think we've known each other long enough."

Chapter 134 Negotiation (III)

The light in the wooden house seemed so dim all the time, and the only source of light was the candle in front of Qu Yunliu.

Qu Yunliu was sitting opposite the long table. He glanced at Tongtong beside me with interest, then shifted his gaze and looked at me again.

"I thought you would come to see me alone. Are you feeling guilty?"

Under the dim candlelight, shadows followed Qu Yunliu's facial contours, carving bit by bit like a chisel, with light and darkness interweaving.

I looked at Qu Yunliu who was at a distance and smiled softly.

"We're not going to say anything shameful, so it shouldn't matter if there are other people or not."

Qu Yunliu held up his hands with his ten fingers, forming a pyramid shape, frowned slightly, smiled, and answered softly.

"Honestly, if it's not a shameful topic, I really don't know what to talk to you about. After all, I'm a stranger to you, not like you know me like you do."

I spread my hands and said nonchalantly.

"You can tell me who I am in your mind. You can make a well-reasoned analysis or just make a wild guess."

Hearing this, Qu Yunliu became interested, sat up straight, and pushed the candle in front of him forward. The candlelight also moved forward, slightly illuminating my face.

Qu Yunliu looked at my face again and again, thought about it again and again, and then spoke slowly.

"First of all, you have a good relationship with Ajie, so you should be considered a good person in the traditional sense. But you are very cautious and rejected Ajie's pigeon. You only have a one-way contact with him."

Hearing this, I frowned slightly and my expression became subtle. I didn't refute Qu Yunliu's words, but I felt a little strange in my heart.

To be honest, I really didn't expect that Ajie could train a homing pigeon under such circumstances. I thought he wanted me to have a good time, not that I had any suspicion of Ajie.

Ajie is not a fool. He can naturally think of what Qu Yunliu can think of. It’s just that Ajie understands me better and trusts me more than Qu Yunliu.

He knew that I really stewed the unfortunate pigeon as a gift.

In the dim light, Qu Yunliu did not notice the rather subtle expression on my face, and continued speaking.

"You are able to deliver so many supplies every time, and these supplies are not easy to find. We sent people to collect supplies for a whole six months, but they didn't deliver as much as you did in one visit."

"I think you are familiar with the post-apocalyptic city, and you may even live in one."

As he spoke, Qu Yunliu glanced at me seemingly nonchalantly, with a strange smile on his lips, he raised his voice and spoke slowly.

"You're not going to get attacked by zombies, are you?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

As soon as Qu Yunliu finished speaking, I answered immediately, and my honesty stunned Qu Yunliu.

After a moment's silence, Qu Yunliu's expression became strange, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said helplessly.

"Aren't you going to cover it up?"

I blinked, exhaled, and said indifferently.

"Since I want to cooperate with you, I have no intention of hiding it. This should prove my sincerity."

Qu Yunliu obviously didn't expect me to be so straightforward. He didn't say anything else, but tapped the table lightly with his fingers. After five suffocating minutes, he sighed.

"Forget it, now it's your turn to speak."

"I want to know how far your investigation of me has gone."

I pondered for a moment, and began to recall every bit about Qu Yunliu in my mind, and spoke slowly.

"Qu Yunliu, you were not like this before. It's just that after taking Epiphyllum, the desire in your heart was infinitely magnified, and you became paranoid and crazy."

Qu Yunliu listened and nodded, not showing any surprise at all. He had heard these words from Ajie once before, so he was so calm.

"but……"

I changed the subject and talked about something Qu Yunliu had never heard of.

"However, you are very satisfied with yourself now, and even feel that everything is under your control. You feel that you understand the side effects of Epiphyllum and that you can control it."

"At the same time, you also feel that Epiphyllum is just an anesthetic you use to maintain your exhausted body."

In the darkness, Qu Yunliu's mouth twitched, his expression became unnatural, and the rhythm of his fingers tapping on the table became slightly disordered.

I took advantage of the victory and continued to add.

"Your original plan should be to take control of this stronghold and then kill the people who were with you at the beginning, leaving only one person as your witness."

"You will support a few small forces and make them obey you, but they will secretly fight against each other."

"Once the base is on track, you will spread rumors about it, lure people in, and make them work as laborers."

"Just keep going like this until your body can no longer hold on. Except for those unlucky laborers, the residents of this stronghold will live quite well."

"Then you will die one day, killed by the small forces you supported. Those small forces will completely disrupt the entire Shield Stronghold."

"The people in the stronghold are living in a painful hell. At this time, they will remember your kindness and regard you as a beautiful memory, telling generations about it."

"This can be considered as a crude version of the God-making plan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Yunliu on the opposite side had lost his previous calmness. He was staring at me with murderous intent in his eyes, as if he would suddenly attack me at any time.

But after a moment, the murderous look in his eyes disappeared, and he asked me with some suspicion.

"Can you read minds?"

I rolled my eyes and responded bluntly.

"I can read your uncle."

Qu Yunliu asked coldly with suspicion still in his eyes.

"Since you can't read minds, why can you describe my plan in such detail without any mistakes?"

I leaned back, put my legs straight on the long table, and said.

"This matter is a bit complicated. If you are willing to listen, I will tell you."

Qu Yunliu did not become flustered or surprised as I expected. After a brief hesitation, he answered me.

"I have plenty of time, and listening to a story is nothing, so go ahead."
