I sell Coke in the doomsday

But they all turned into zombies.

Seeing this, Tongtong immediately became alert, protected me, and said in surprise.

"What on earth is going on? Why did all these people turn into zombies?"

I stood up and looked back at the zombies in the darkness. They were moving stiffly in the narrow theater, but they didn't know how to get out.

Recalling the roles of these people in fairy tales and their struggles as human beings in the conscious world, my eyes dimmed and I turned and walked towards the stage.

On the stage, the fairy tale book in the mummy's hand slipped down and landed on the dusty stage. I walked up to it, picked up the fairy tale book and blew away the dust on it.

Tongtong was puzzled and followed me, asking softly.

"Su Ming, what happened?"

My eyes dimmed slightly, I put away the fairy tale book, stood up, looked at the zombies below the stage, and sighed.

"I ruined their last beautiful dream."

Tongtong seemed to understand, but not quite. She quietly put her arms around me and whispered.

"Afterwards, can you tell me exactly what this story is about?"

I smiled when I heard that, held Tongtong's hand tightly, narrowed my eyes slightly, and answered softly.

"This story is like most stories."

"It's all about a bunch of fools and a liar."

Chapter 188 The Sea

After a long time, the night faded away and the stars in the sky gradually dimmed.

I took the fairy tale book and walked out of the theater building with Tongtong, breathing the fresh air, feeling as if I were in another world.

To Tongtong, I was just unconscious for a few hours, but to me, I spent a long time in that fairy tale world.

Thinking about that imaginative world and those bizarre characters, I couldn't help but look back at the theater building standing behind me.

Those people did not want to become zombies, so they chose to become story characters without self-awareness in the fairy tale world, but in the end, their persistence still failed.

Now, there are no living things in this building except zombies.

Tongtong had no idea what was happening. She looked at the gradually brightening city and asked me with some anticipation.

"Will such giant creatures appear again today?"

I opened the fairy tale book in my hand, pursed my lips, and said lightly.

"No, everything that happened before was due to the overflow of energy from this book, which caused the phenomenon of inanimate objects being transformed into living things."

"Now everything has returned to dust, and naturally, such a thing will never happen again."

Tongtong was very disappointed when she heard this and complained to me in dissatisfaction.

"I don't understand what you're saying at all. Can't you explain it in detail?"

I squatted down gently, tore off the pages of the fairy tale book one by one, took out a lighter and lit it.

"It's a very boring story, but if you want to listen, I'll tell you."

The flames quickly spread along the paper, and I tore off the pages one by one and threw them into the fire.

Tongtong also squatted down and asked me curiously.

"Are you worshipping God?"

I shook my head and answered softly.

"I'm worshiping ghosts... Actually, it's not appropriate to say this. Maybe it's just my sense of ritual that's playing tricks on me."

Tongtong snatched the fairy tale book from my book and started tearing off the pages for me, saying with some heartache.

"Burning books is too extravagant. You should tell me the story."

I smiled helplessly, sat on the ground, and told Tongtong the whole story of the fairy tale world, without missing a single thing.

Tongtong listened very carefully and did not miss even a single detail. But after I finished the whole story, she looked at me quietly and asked softly.

"According to what that damn machine said, at the end of the finale...will you die?"

Hearing this, I was silent for a moment, but finally nodded slightly.

"That should be the case. At least in the ending he arranged, there will be no role for me."

Tongtong looked at me quietly, suddenly dropped the book in her hand, leaned over, tilted her head slightly, rested her head on my shoulder, and spoke softly.

"So...even if the ending is like this, you don't regret it?"

I smiled when I heard that, but my smile was full of bitterness. I reached out my hand, gently held Tongtong's waist, and whispered in a low voice.

"I don't have the power to choose. After all, I am just a human being."

Tongtong didn't say anything, but buried her little face in my arms without saying a word. I held Tongtong tightly in my arms and gently smelled her scent.

"That's enough. I've lived enough in this life."

"Don't die in vain, don't live in vain."

The sun rises, and the morning mist gradually dissipates. Amidst the ruins, I hold Tongtong's body, narrow my eyes slightly, look at the rising sun, and exhale gently.

Really, enough.

At least that's the case at the moment.

……

A few days later, I drove a black car onto a warm beach.

The sea breeze caresses, bringing the salty and humid smell of the sea. Winter has not yet passed, but here, there is not a trace of winter cold.

I parked the car on the beach, got out of the car with Tongtong, and looked at the blue ocean not far away, unable to come back to my senses for a long time.

The blue waves beat towards the shore, constantly washing the coast. On the sea surface which is deeper blue than the sky, seagulls flew over the sea, grabbed a small fish and flew to the shore.

Tongtong stared at the blue sea, gently held my hand and said softly.

"It's so beautiful, more beautiful than I imagined."

I raised my eyes gently, looked at the blue, and my heart was softened. After so many years, after countless cycles and repeating the same mistakes, I finally fulfilled my promise to Tongtong.

We went to see the sea, to this beach that we had imagined visiting countless times.

This is our only destination for this short vacation.

I squatted down, took off Tongtong's shoes, and took off my own shoes. I watched Tongtong carefully put her little feet gently on the soft sand.

Tongtong was stunned for a moment, then she smiled sweetly and ran barefoot on the beach like a child.

I stood there, looking at Tongtong, who looked like a child, with my eyes slightly narrowed, as if I was looking at the only happy moment in my life.

Tongtong was running, kicking the sand gently with her white little feet, with her arms open and a smile on her face.

After a while, Tongtong stood in the distance, waving her arms towards me vigorously and shouting my name loudly.

"Su Li, come quickly."

I raised my eyebrows slightly, and without any hesitation, I took a step forward to catch up. The soft sand supported my feet, allowing me to temporarily forget about the end of the world and my own ending.

In the warm sunshine, Tongtong grabbed my hand and spoke softly.

"I read in a book that we should have a dance at this time, right?"

I shook my head and spoke honestly.

"I won't."

Tongtong blinked her bright eyes and spoke softly.

"Neither can I. But there won't be any audience here to laugh at us."

I chuckled, followed my memory, bowed slightly to Tongtong, saluted, and stretched out my hand, inviting Tongtong like a gentleman.

Tongtong smiled and gently placed her hand on my palm, then threw herself into my arms, put her arms around my neck, and kissed my lips.

I was stunned for a moment, then I hugged Tongtong tightly and kissed her hard, wanting to rub her into my body.

Our breaths intertwined, I held Tongtong in my arms, kissing her non-stop, my hands moving to her earlobes, kneading them gently.

Perhaps many years ago I never thought that I would love a girl so much in this life.

It’s just that our ending is not perfect, and it is destined not to be perfect.

The clothes slipped off, and all the words seemed to be integrated into the actions between Tongtong and me. I demanded and greedily wanted to possess everything of her, even if it was only temporary and could not last long.

After a long time, I held the naked Tongtong in my arms, and we lay on the beach together, looking at the end of the sea, in silence.

Tongtong curled up in my arms and whispered softly.

"It would be great if this were the end."

Chapter 189

A few days later, in the ancient city stronghold.

As time goes by, winter is coming to an end. The cold weather is gradually warming up, and the snow accumulated over the winter is beginning to melt.

The snow mixed with dirt stains made the streets of the stronghold filthy. People in the city were hurrying, many of them were wearing thin clothes, holding brooms and sweeping the ground.

A simple broom made of dry grass quickly swept across the snow and water, sweeping it off the road, but it also spread the stains of mud thoroughly, making the entire bluestone paved street stained with the yellow color of mud.

In the tallest three-story building in the city, Nebula looked indifferent, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, looking at the people sweeping the street, and said coldly.

"I don't know what's going on. After we clear the snow today, there will be new snow tomorrow. What's the point of keeping so many people?"

"Why don't you let me kill half of them as a sacrificial ritual? Maybe it will help me regain some strength."

Mo Li sat in the room, picked up a teapot, put an old tea bag into the pot, and poured boiling hot water into it. He didn't even look at the nebula body and said lightly.

"I never knew that sacrifices could actually work for you guys who claim to be gods."

The cold wind blew, and Xingyun, who was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, frowned, closed the window completely, turned to look at Mo Li, and said lightly.

"Putting aside your special feelings towards gods, we so-called gods are just a race that is more powerful than you. Your glorification and beliefs, these invisible things, are naturally more useful than tangible things like flesh and blood."

"I've said before, we are on the same boat. The more strength I recover, the more benefits it will bring to you."

"If you let go of your prejudice against us, you will have a chance of defeating Su Li."

Mo Li sneered when he heard this. He picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, lowered his eyebrows, and spoke softly.

"Since you lost the source of your power, your temper has been getting worse day by day. It seems that you are now tired of the human body."

Nebula frowned and said unhappily.

"Your human bodies are too weak. They are afraid of fire and cold. I don't want to waste my strength on such a small matter."

“It’s normal to get bored.”

Mo Li picked up the teacup, blew the hot steam from the cup, and spoke slowly.

"So, your previous calmness and interest in humans were all based on your superior strength."

"Once you lose your power, you are nothing, even worse than an ordinary person."

Hearing Mo Li's obvious sarcasm, the Nebula Body sneered and responded in a mocking tone.

"Please imagine that one day you suddenly become an ant. Would you definitely do better than those guys who were originally ants?"

"For us, the human body is not even as strong as that of an ant. We cannot adapt, so naturally we will be nervous."

Mo Li picked up the teacup and took a sip. The old tea bag had soaked in the water and it had a bitter taste that stung his throat. But this was already the best tea in the apocalypse.

He shook the teacup, watched the pale yellow tea sway, and spoke softly.

"Regarding the sacrifice, I cannot promise you."

"Now you have lost your power, and the surrounding strongholds have basically been divided up. If you kill one less person in the stronghold, there will be one less person. If you really follow your method to make sacrifices, I'm afraid you will suffer a great loss in the future when facing the conflict of the shield stronghold."

Hearing this, Nebula hesitated for a moment but still did not give up, and continued to persuade Mo Li.

"Why don't you understand? The real victory or defeat does not depend on these people outside, but on who can take the dominant position in the final fusion between you and Su Li."

"As long as I can recover more strength, the final fusion will be absolutely safe. The people outside will die, and it will not affect the final outcome."
