I sell Coke in the doomsday

The other two people were lying on the edge of the carriage, retching continuously.

"Brother...before the apocalypse, were you flying a fighter plane?"

Since he can joke around, it seems like there's nothing serious going on.

I thought about it seriously and then replied frankly.

"How is that possible? I don't even have a driver's license, how can I fly a fighter jet?"

Wang Zixuan recovered a little bit of her spirit. She held the dagger nervously and asked me.

"Who are you?"

Without waiting for me to say anything, Gao Lian next to me slapped the dagger out of Wang Zixuan's hand, picked up the dagger and threw it at my feet.

I didn't say anything, just smiled, picked up the dagger, turned around and walked into the pickup truck, drove the pickup truck again, and drove towards the valley of the Xise stronghold.

There's nothing strange about this. After experiencing the deception at the Shield Stronghold, it's normal for them to be wary of me.

The pickup truck started moving. Gao Lian sat in the car, looked at Wang Zixuan helplessly and sighed.

"Are you stupid? If they want to harm us, why bother saving us? Isn't that unnecessary?"

Wang Zixuan remained silent, but was obviously still a little unconvinced. Li Yi on the side finally spoke.

"The three of us don't have anything, so there's nothing for them to gain."

Wang Zixuan bit her lips lightly, looked at Gao Lian and the others with some dissatisfaction, and spoke loudly.

"But...but I see that he has a good relationship with the people in the Shield Stronghold. If he has no ill will towards us, why didn't he tell my brother the truth about the Shield Stronghold?"

Gao Lian shook his head and sighed again. He leaned against the carriage and whispered.

"It should have been two months since we last saw him. In these sixty days, anything could have happened."

"I don't know how he got connected to the Shield Stronghold, but I'm sure..."

"If the boss were still alive, he would definitely believe this man."

Wang Zixuan was stunned when she heard the words. She clenched her fists, then loosened them dejectedly. She seemed to have no strength left. She lowered her head, leaned against the carriage, and stopped talking.

I didn't know what was happening in the car. I just drove the pickup truck obediently towards my destination.

There was a plain outside the car window, and the grass on the roadside was lush and green. When the wind blew, the grass bowed its head neatly.

At first glance, the blue sky, white clouds, green grass and sunshine are actually quite beautiful.

This world, without so many humans, seems to be more beautiful than before.

I looked at the beautiful scenery ahead, but my mind was filled with Tongtong's figure, which I could not erase no matter what.

Maybe, without realizing it, I have become a complete lunatic.

But honestly, it feels pretty good.

The endless green grass, like a sea, undulating in the wind. Looking at this scene, I had thoughts for no reason.

After solving these annoying things, let’s take Tongtong to see the sea.

Find an empty beach, settle down, stay with Tongtong, watch the ebb and flow of the tide, pick up shells on the beach, and play with crabs on the beach.

Chapter 53: Xisai Stronghold (I)

After driving around for twenty minutes, I finally found the valley where Ajie and I separated. I parked the car in front of the valley, honked the horn hard, opened the car door, and leaned against it waiting boredly.

On the other side, Gao Lian and three other people in the carriage also jumped off the car. Wang Zixuan was still a little wary of me and asked me with a stern look on his face.

"Where is this place?"

I glanced at the tomboyish Wang Zixuan, pointed my finger at the valley in the distance with an indifferent expression, and replied in a low voice.

"Xise stronghold."

Wang Zixuan frowned but still refused to give up and continued to ask me with a cold face.

"What is the Xisai stronghold? Who are you? Why are you so close to the Weishield stronghold?"

A series of questions, like a string of cannonballs, came at me quickly and chaotically, but I just rolled my eyes, raised my middle finger to Wang Zixuan, spat on the ground, and spoke slowly.

"I don't owe you anything. If you don't trust me and don't want to stay."

"Then go ahead. I won't force you."

I'm not a submissive person. I want to save them, but that doesn't mean I owe them anything. I also know that she lost her loved ones and was trapped in the Shield Stronghold for a long time, so she suppressed her emotions.

But who hasn’t lost something in these last days? Who hasn’t suppressed their emotions?

Wang Zixuan's breath was choked, and then her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she clenched her fists. Gao Lian, who was standing next to me, stood between Wang Zixuan and me helplessly, and explained with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, Zixuan...her emotions are not very stable."

I glanced at Wang Zixuan behind Gao Lian, kicked the dirt under my feet, and asked softly.

"Has she been like this before?"

There was a flash of pain in Gao Lian's eyes, but he still forced a smile and explained to me.

"Although there have been similar situations before, but this time..."

Gao Lian paused, took a deep breath, and then spoke slowly in a hoarse voice.

"The man who had been comforting her is dead."

I was stunned and fell silent. I only saw Wang Zixuan hiding behind Gao Lian. Her shoulders were shaking and she seemed to be sobbing.

Perhaps, this child has never had a good cry.

I sighed, turned around, looked at the startled birds in the distant forest, and spoke softly as if talking to myself.

"I am a doomsday merchant. Today is my first time to do business at the Shield Stronghold."

"If I had known... what the Shield Stronghold was like, I would never have let you go to that damn place."

I don’t know whether Gao Lian and the others will believe my explanation, and I don’t care. I’m just doing what I want to do.

In the distance, startled birds flew by, and several figures walked out of the forest. I saw Ajie from a distance. He was waving a branch and shouting something to me, but the distance was too far, so I couldn't hear clearly what he said.

After jumping around for a while, Ajie finally realized the problem. He held his waist, panting, then raised his middle finger to me and yelled at me angrily.

"Damn it, come here!"

I still couldn't hear Ajie's roar, but I could vaguely feel his resentment. In short, I could guess that this grandson definitely didn't say anything good.

"Get in the car, someone is coming to pick us up."

I asked Gao Lian and a few others to get in the car, and then I got back in and drove the pickup truck towards Ajie.

From afar, there was no trace of human settlement on the valley. If Ajie hadn't come out, it would have been difficult for me to find the direction.

When the pickup truck reached the edge of the forest, it could no longer move forward. The branches and leaves in the forest were tangled, blocking out the sun, and there was no space for the pickup truck.

I had no choice but to get off the car again and asked Ajie with a frown.

"Can this damn place actually be used as a base?"

Ajie rolled his eyes at me and retorted rudely.

"The people in the Xisai stronghold are all elderly people. You should think about them. They don't have the energy to occupy a good place."

While I was talking to Ajie, a group of ragged old men, holding sharpened sticks, came out of the woods and surrounded us.

Seeing this, Gao Lian and the other two immediately became nervous, followed me closely and asked.

"How is this going?"

I didn't answer their questions directly, but looked at Ajie. Ajie smiled, put his arm around my shoulders, and spoke to the old people.

"Don't be nervous, this is the person I told you about."

"Put the stick down."

Those old men seemed to trust Ajie very much. After hearing what he said, their expressions relaxed and they put down the wooden sticks in their hands.

Those old people were not as old as I imagined. They looked to be only in their fifties, but they were extremely thin. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were just skin and bones.

I looked at this scene and said to Ajie.

"There is some corn in the carriage. Take it back and give everyone a good meal."

Ajie was delighted when he heard this, and quickly greeted the old people and said.

"Old men, did you hear me? Hurry up and pack up the corn."

Hearing this, the old people perked up, and a hint of joy appeared on their wrinkled faces. Then they took off their upper clothes.

The old people used their clothes as sacks to wrap the corn and walked carefully into the woods. Ajie next to them also took off his coat, wrapped the corn, and explained to me.

"The base was extremely short of supplies. We didn't even have a decent bag. We could only wrap the things in clothes."

As he spoke, Ajie had already wrapped the corn in his coat and tilted his head to signal us to follow him.

I waved gently to Gao Lian and the other two, then followed Ajie into the forest.

The lush forest was full of water and the road was muddy, as if it had rained heavily not long ago. Ajie treated the corn in his arms as a treasure and walked slowly with every step, for fear of dropping even a grain of corn.

As I walked, I glanced at Gao Lian and the other two who looked worried, and then I spoke softly to Ajie.

"Ajie, please introduce this Xisai stronghold."

Ajie was stunned when he heard this, but after looking back at Gao Lian and the other two, he suddenly realized and began to introduce it patiently.

"This Xisai stronghold is where the old man was driven out from the Weidun stronghold when Qu Yunliu was not so extreme."

"Some of these elderly people used to live in nearby villages. They remember that there is a hidden tunnel here."

"So, with the secret help of some people in the stronghold at that time, these old people came here and established the Xisai stronghold relying on that tunnel."

When he said this, a hint of bitterness flashed across Ajie's face, and his voice became a little ethereal.

"But this base is short of everything. Clothes, food, nothing."

"So, some elderly people couldn't make it and died in the dark tunnel."

"These old people love nothing more than to bask in the sun, but in the end, even until they die, they can only stay in the dark tunnels."

When they heard this, the three people behind me looked gloomy, and there was a bit more pity in their eyes as they looked at the old people who were walking hard in the forest.

After walking for a long time in the dense forest, we finally saw the foot of the mountain and a half-open wooden door.

There is also a stone next to the wooden door. It seems that the stone will usually block the wooden door and cover the entrance.

Ajie took the lead, gently kicked open the wooden door, held the corn in his arms, bent down and walked in. I followed closely behind him and entered the tunnel together.

As soon as I entered the tunnel, my vision immediately became dark and I couldn’t see anything. After a while, my eyes barely adapted to the darkness.

I saw that although the entrance of the tunnel was low and short, the tunnel was very spacious. At first glance, the passages were crisscrossed and complicated, like a maze.

The only downside is that this is not a place to live.

Chapter 54: Xisai Stronghold (Part 2)

After entering the tunnel, Ajie shouted loudly towards the criss-crossing passages.

"Old man Li, the guests are coming, get ready to set up the pot."

Ajie's voice echoed in the passage, and it never stopped. I really didn't know how many branches there were here.

Not long after, a ray of fire lit up in the dark tunnel. The flame flickered, and a white-haired old man was seen walking out of the dark cave, supporting a dazed and extremely haggard old man, leaning on a torch.

Behind these two people, several elderly people were carrying an iron bucket with great effort, moving slowly.

Gao Lian behind me seemed like he couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he reached out and patted Li Yi beside him. The two of them walked over quickly and took the big iron bucket.

The old men were stunned when they saw this, then they smiled kindly, patted Gao Lian and Li Yi, and whispered.

"Thank you, young man."

Gao Lian didn't say anything, but there was something wrong with his mood. In the light of the fire, I saw that his eyes were a little red. I wondered what he was thinking about.

At this time, the old man who needed help finally walked in front of us. His eyes were cloudy and dull, and his skin was as dark as if he had rolled in a pile of charcoal.

The old man paused for a moment, looked at me, then looked at Ajie beside him. His reaction was a little slow. He raised his dry branch-like finger, pointed at me, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Ajie, who is this?"
