I sell Coke in the doomsday

The candlelight flickered. A light breeze rushed into the room, pulling at the flame on the candle. Qu Yunliu's huge shadow covered everything behind him.

As the candle flame swayed, his shadow also shook violently, and was reflected on the wall, like a demon with bared fangs and claws.

When the wind blows, murderous intent rises.

I just stared at Qu Yunliu quietly without saying a word, waiting for his reaction. After a long time, Qu Yunliu slowly raised his head, looked at me gently, and asked softly.

"Why...why would you ask this question?"

I narrowed my eyes slightly, rubbed my fingers gently, and my eyes fell on the long table in front of me that was covered with oil stains, and I spoke softly.

"This issue cannot be avoided and must be brought to the table."

"Mr. Qu, you are indeed the savior of this stronghold. You have given them faith, order, and a stable life."

I pressed my fingers hard against the table, not knowing what I was struggling with. I lowered my eyebrows and spoke lightly.

"But, you, the savior, are just a savior of time."

"You can save them temporarily, but you can't save them forever."

I withdrew my finger and looked directly at Qu Yunliu again, without dodging or avoiding, and spoke with a smile as if I was chatting casually.

"You condone their violence and feed their bestiality."

"You created gods that were ignorant, crazy, and cruel."

"This stronghold is like a powder keg. It could explode at any time, leaving no trace of the body."

"And you are the fuse of this powder keg."

Qu Yunliu smiled broadly, not seeming to care, and answered with a relaxed look.

"I'm not going to let it explode."

I know if I continue talking, it will be hard to resolve the dispute between Qu Yunliu and I, but I still want to say it, even if it is irrational or even stupid, I still want to say it.

"But everyone has to die. Birth, aging, sickness and death. No one can escape it."

"You're going to die eventually."

Qu Yunliu's eyes darkened, but he did not refute anything. However, the shadow behind him shook even more violently.

Suddenly, I understood something vaguely. My eyes focused, my body leaned forward slightly, staring at Qu Yunliu, and said in a deep voice.

"You actually know all along what this base will become after you die."

"Riots, cannibalism, hunger, cold winters, cannibalism!"

"Everything you maintain will collapse with your death and become a new hell on earth."

Looking at the silent Qu Yunliu, an uncontrollable anger surged in my heart, and I spoke almost with gritted teeth.

"You knew it, you always knew it!"

"But you don't care, because you just want to prove something, you just regard this stronghold as your own work."

"So you don't care what will happen to this base after you die, right?!"

Pop, pop, pop.

Suddenly, the sound of applause rang out in the empty room. Qu Yunliu looked at me with admiration, clapped lightly, and said sincerely.

"Great! You're the first one who can say this. I kind of want to be friends with you."

Compared to my gnashing of teeth, Qu Yunliu was smiling happily. He looked at me and said softly.

"Someone once said that when a person dies, it is like water disappearing into the water."

"Do you know how desperate I felt when I heard these words? When a person dies, there is no trace left. It is a waste of time to come to this world, but it is just empty."

Qu Yunliu slowly stood up and walked towards me. He put his palm on the table, stroking it all the way, and spoke softly.

“So, I do something to leave my mark.”

“And this stronghold is my proudest work.”

Qu Yunliu walked slowly behind me, leaned over gently, put his hands on my shoulders, and spoke in a low voice in my ear in a slightly intimate manner.

"Just imagine."

"After I die, this stronghold will fall apart and fall into chaos."

“Those who live through hardships will remember me, my rule, and the peace I brought them.”

"My name and everything I have done will be the only things they will miss in this apocalypse."

"They will say my name and tell my story day after day."

"They will worship me as a god."

Qu Yunliu spoke the last few words in a low voice, but with great pride.

I listened in a daze, and slowly realized that Qu Yunliu was a madman like me, only he was even crazier than me.

I struggled and uttered a few words weakly.

"They...are not your toys."

Qu Yunliu smiled when he heard that, stood up straight, reached out and patted my shoulder, and said with a smile.

"No, they always are."

After saying that, Qu Yunliu slowly paced back to his original seat, sat down gently, and spoke slowly.

"I originally wanted to keep you for dinner, but now it seems that if I keep you here, I might kill you."

"So, Mr. Su, you should go."

I stood up expressionlessly, looked straight at Qu Yunliu, and spoke loudly.

"Before I go, could you give me a few meat darts?"

Qu Yunliu smiled and nodded slightly, saying nonchalantly.

"There's plenty of meat here, just as you like."

After hearing that, I no longer had any intention of staying, so I turned around and walked out of that strange wooden house.

Outside the wooden house, my pickup truck was parked, and the cabin was full of corn. The middle-aged man who had received me before was also standing by the car, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

The middle-aged man skillfully took out a cigarette, handed one to me and asked.

"The corn is ready. Do you have any other requests?"

I took the cigarette, put it to my lips, and said as if nothing had happened.

"I've made an agreement with your boss to get a few meat darts to attract the zombies."

The middle-aged man lit a cigarette, grinned, patted my shoulder and said.

"That's easy. Come on, I'll take you to pick a few."

The middle-aged man took me all the way to the field, pulled out a pistol, and fired a shot directly into the air.

boom!

After a gunshot, all the people working in the fields quickly gathered together. Those skinny people had fear in their eyes.

Apparently, this kind of behavior of picking up flesh darts is not the first time.

Amid the scoldings from the whip-wielding guards, everyone in the field stood in line.

My eyes quickly swept over those people, and my brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Among these people were old and young, and all of them had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable from the human form, looking like neither human nor ghost.

Save as many as you can.

Suddenly, my eyes froze and I saw three equally stunned faces in the crowd.

Aren’t these three the remaining three members of Wang Quan’s group of four? Are they still alive?

Although I was shocked in my heart, my expression remained calm. I walked up to the three people and pulled them out one by one.

I held a cigarette in my mouth and said to the middle-aged man.

"Okay, I'll take these three."

"I want him alive, don't kill him."

Chapter 52 A Beautiful Wish

"Okay, I'll take these three."

"I want him alive, don't kill him."

The middle-aged man held a cigarette in his hand, glanced at Wang Zixuan's face, winked at me in an obscene manner, and said.

"Brother, you are not picky. You want this tomboy too. There are many good ones in the base."

"How about I prepare some exciting ones for you?"

Listening to the greasy tone in the middle-aged man's words, I suppressed the disgust in my heart, threw the cigarette on the ground, stepped on it with my foot, and replied in a low voice.

"No, that's all. These are the three."

The middle-aged man didn't care. He waved his hand and gave orders to his men beside him.

"Go, tie up those three men."

"Yes."

After the younger brothers responded, they quickly tied up Wang Zixuan and the other two with ropes.

During this process, Wang Zixuan kept looking at me, as if hesitating to say something. I turned my back to the middle-aged man, secretly shook my finger at the three men, and spoke silently with my lips.

Do not talk.

Soon, the three men were tied up tightly and driven into my pickup truck by the group of younger brothers.

The pickup truck bed was already full of corn, and the three men could only squat on the corn with no safety guarantee.

After I exchanged a few hypocritical greetings with the middle-aged man, I walked back to the pickup truck. When passing by the car, I pretended to stretch, and then threw a dagger that I had hidden long ago at the feet of the three men.

Gao Lian's eyes changed, he moved slightly, held the dagger in his hand, and secretly cut the rope on his wrist.

I got back in the driver's seat, turned the key, slowly released the clutch, and drove the pickup truck away from the shield stronghold.

Because I wanted to encourage safety for the three people in the car, I drove very slowly, and at the same time, I kept watching the rearview mirror.

I was always worried that Qu Yunliu would let me go like this. It would be strange for a man like him not to send someone to follow me.

So, I have to secretly throw the dagger to Gao Lian and the other two, and not let them notice anything unusual.

I didn't drive the pickup truck directly to the agreed valley, but deliberately drove around. The people surrounding the shield stronghold were more familiar with the roads here than I was, so they would definitely be hiding on the small road and observing my route.

The nearby woods were dense and perfect for hiding. After I drove ten miles, I suddenly stopped the pickup truck.

At this time, the three people in the car also used daggers to untie the ropes. I leaned out of the car, looked at the three people with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice without bothering to say hello.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."

When Gao Lian and the other two heard this, although they had a lot of questions to ask, they still held on to the carriage obediently. I sat back in the car and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom without caring about anything.

Amid the roar of the engine, the pickup truck sped away like lightning into the distance. Soon it disappeared into the dense forest, leaving only a pile of dust.

The cars that were following the pickup truck from a distance and hidden in the woods were unable to react in time, and when they looked up again, the pickup truck was no longer visible.

In that car, the middle-aged man was sitting in the passenger seat. He was holding a worn-out telescope, with a look of surprise on his face. Then he cursed in a low voice with an unwilling look on his face.

"Fuck, he's running really fast."

……

When I drive fast, I don't care about my life. There's no other reason. After all, I am immortal.

In that dense forest, I was steering the car frantically, completely forgetting that there were three other people and a cart full of corn in the car.

When the pickup truck drove out of the dense forest and onto the plain, I remembered the three people behind it.

I realized it later and quickly slowed down, stopped the car on the side of the road, and got out to check on the three people.

"Are you three okay?"

I stood by the roadside and looked into the car with concern, only to see that the car, which was originally full of corn, was now only half empty, and the three men were covered in dust and holding on to the edge of the car with their hands, looking painful.

Gao Lian looked at me and wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, a mouthful of corn kernels flowed out.
