I sell Coke in the doomsday

Hearing this, the man smacked his lips softly, seemed a little embarrassed, scratched his head with his hand, and said.

"I wanted to say no, but in fact I was a believer for a short time, although it was fake."

"Young man, my name is Sun Zheng, what's your name?"

I thought this old man was quite interesting, and his words showed disgust towards the Reformed Church, so I answered with a smile.

"Su Li, a foreigner passing by."

"Outsiders? No wonder. With the behavior of those idiots out there, you might suffer a lot."

The man touched his chin and seemed to have a headache. He began to give me advice very enthusiastically.

"These people in the Reformed Church, no, the people in this entire stronghold, are not in their right minds."

"You are a foreigner. If you want to survive, you have to listen to your brother and pretend that you are willing to become a believer of the Reformed Church."

"When you find an opportunity, steal a horse and run away."

I pretended to be helpless, spread my hands and said.

"I'm afraid this method won't work. Not only am I an outsider, but I also beat up those guards. Someone might even die."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zheng immediately frowned, pinched the sparse beard on his chin with his fingers, and sighed.

“This is going to be more difficult.”

"Let me think of a solution for you."

After saying that, Sun Zheng looked like he was deep in thought and stopped talking. I didn't disturb him but waited quietly.

I waited like this for an hour, but after an hour, Sun Zheng seemed to have forgotten about the matter and started chatting with me about all sorts of things.

I was also bored, so I started chatting with Sun Zheng, and we spent the day just like that.

The next two days were a repetition of this process. Sun Zheng was very interesting and time always passed quickly when chatting with him.

However, from Sun Zheng’s words, I always felt that he seemed to be very familiar with Zhao Yi, the leader of the Reformed Church.

Finally, on the third day, I couldn't help but say it to Sun Zheng.

"Brother, you seem to be very familiar with Zhao Yi."

Sun Zheng curled his lips and muttered in a low voice with an angry look on his face.

"I wish I could kill him, that bastard!"

Seeing this, I became even more curious and continued to ask.

"Did anything happen between you and him?"

Hearing this, Sun Zheng's eyes dimmed, his face looked a little more lonely, and his voice became a little lower.

"It's a long story."

Sun Zheng stretched out his hand, pointed outside and said.

"Xiao Su, you have seen the rough construction of this stronghold. You should be able to tell that this is a small town before the end of the world."

"Anyone with a brain should know that a town full of zombies like this is not suitable as a base. We should choose a deep forest and build a simple base before the zombies come."

"Then we will slowly reinforce it and improve the security of the base, but Zhao Yi is not a normal person."

"He actually used human lives to exchange for this town just because the Reformed Church's stronghold needed to be more impressive."

Sun Zheng's eyes were filled with anger, he gripped the iron railings tightly with both hands and said hatefully.

"Almost tens of thousands of people died here. I am a construction engineer, but I have to lead people to make such crude wooden boards. I have to watch others lead away the zombies to protect us, and never come back."

I was speechless for a moment, and after a moment's silence, I asked in a low voice.

"Tens of thousands of people... no one resisted?"

Sun Zheng sighed, looking dejected, and said helplessly.

"How can we resist? At that time, there were already a lot of Reformed Christians. They had guns in their hands. They also detained the elderly, the weak, women and children. Whoever was unwilling to go would have to watch his wife and children die at the hands of the gun."

"You know, in this world, we lost everything at that time. Wealth, fame, status, all vanished into thin air."

"All we have left are our own relatives."

I felt my breath choke, and my heart was filled with mixed emotions, and I just felt a sense of powerlessness.

Sun Zheng repeated the action of breathing in and out, as if trying to stabilize his emotions. After a moment, he spoke in a low voice.

"It took us a lot of effort to build a simple wooden wall around this town, and we lost a lot of lives to clear out the remaining zombies in the town."

"After all this back and forth, the number of people is reduced to only 10,000."

"I thought that Zhao Yi should stop at least, and then we can just slowly reinforce the simple wooden wall."

Sun Zheng looked up at the roof and said self-deprecatingly.

"But who could have imagined that the beast started to go crazy, destroyed all the guns, and became his own local tyrant."

"He is cruel and bloodthirsty. He will kill anyone he doesn't like, and not only will he kill him, he will also kill his family."

"In this world, he and his group of lackeys are still thinking about enjoying themselves and indulging in extravagance."

Hearing this, I suddenly interrupted.

"If he destroyed the guns, why didn't anyone rebel?"

Sun Zheng glanced at me and shook his head slightly.

"Zhao Yi is a stupid guy, but he is not really a fool. He and his group of lackeys are more powerful than the pyramid schemes of the past."

"In just a few years, almost everyone in the base has been brainwashed."

"You know, the faith of the Reformed Church is the only motivation for those people out there to survive."

Hearing this, I was lost in thought. The four people who repaid my kindness with enmity seemed to be in this state. They would beg, but would not be angry, and certainly would not think that they were wrong.

Especially, when Zhang Ling uttered the word "pagan", I could clearly feel that she was proud.

Proud of...the inferior being superior to the heathen.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh and said to Sun Zheng.

"Your statement reminds me why I came here."

Then, I simply told them about how I rescued the four people and how they repaid my kindness with enmity.

After listening to this, Sun Zheng was not surprised at all, but instead sighed.

"Aren't you stupid?"

"If there is a stronghold in this world that can be completely massacred without a single innocent person left."

"Then it must be this Reformed stronghold."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but shake my head and said.

"That's too extreme. How could there be no innocent people? I believe there must be good people in this city."

"what."

Sun Zheng sneered, showing some disdain for what I said. He leaned against the wall and spoke in a cold voice.

"According to the teachings of the Reformed Church, people do not really die. Those who have died will be waiting for everyone at the place where the stars gather."

"You know, I once tried to tell an old lady that Reformed Christianity is all fake and a lie."

"Guess what, the old lady picked up her cane and hit me. She questioned me."

"If Reformed Christianity is false, then her son and grandson are really dead, right? Should I compensate her son and grandson?"

"These people have gone crazy, and they are willing to go crazy along with the Reformed Church. The Reformed Church has become their only spiritual sustenance."

"Not only are they not worth saving, they deserve to die!"

After listening to Sun Zheng's words, I was touched, but I still thought he was too extreme, so I tried to persuade him in a low voice.

"Just being crazy and foolish is not a crime punishable by death, right?"

Sun Zheng suddenly closed his eyes, and after a long silence, he slowly opened his eyes. He looked at me and spoke softly.

"I don't want to be so extreme, but if you knew what they did, you would understand."

"Why do I think they deserve to die?"

Hearing this, I had a bad feeling in my heart, which told me not to delve further into the matter, but at the same time, my curiosity forced me to continue asking.

Finally, my curiosity overwhelmed my uneasiness, and I asked Sun Zheng.

"What did they... do?"

Sun Zheng sat up straight, looking frustrated, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"You know, you're not the first outsider to come to this stronghold."

Chapter 97: Past Events

"About three years ago, a group of very embarrassed young men came to this stronghold."

"They said their base was destroyed by a fire and they fled all the way here, hoping to join the base."

"I thought what they said was vague and there might be something fishy going on, so I kept paying attention to them."

"But after nearly half a year of observation, nothing suspicious was found. But half a year later, influenza broke out in the base."

"This is not a serious disease. People of our generation have received countless vaccines since childhood, so our bodies can handle it."

"But the children born after the zombie virus didn't have such luck. So, after many children got the flu, they could only pin their hopes on that illusory god."

"During that half year, the people in this stronghold did not really accept the group of young people. They just used them as free laborers."

"When the flu broke out, the young people felt it was time to prove their worth and they wanted to integrate into the community."

"So, in the absence of cars, they rode on horses, risking their lives, to search for drugs in the city."

"There is also a young man who must have studied Chinese medicine and wants to go up the mountain to collect some herbs."

"No one forced them to do this, everything was done voluntarily."

A faint light appeared in Sun Zheng's empty eyes, and his gaze was wandering, not knowing where he was looking.

"Whatever cold medicine it is, it has long expired over the years, and I don't know how much of its effectiveness is left."

"That group of young people think that if the drug is not effective, they can make up for it with quantity, which will eventually work."

"But in the end, it was the kid who had studied Chinese medicine who found a solution."

"I don't understand the principle, but the young man planted a medicinal field in the open space, collecting herbs while planting new ones."

"At the same time, he was also treating patients with acupuncture."

"What's interesting is that thanks to their efforts, the flu in the base is actually slowly subsiding."

“Those young people are very happy and feel that their efforts have not been in vain. They think they can truly integrate into this base.”

"But just when they were about to succeed, the beast Zhao Yi jumped out."

"During the flu epidemic, he hid in his comfortable house out of fear of death. He refused to show his face, but just when the group of young people were about to succeed, he stood up."

"He gathered everyone together and said that he had been communicating with the gods during this period. Thanks to his efforts, the flu gradually subsided."

"Zhao Yi is an expert at stirring up people's hearts. He successfully took away the credit for the work of those young people."

"But he was not satisfied with just that. He put those young people on a pedestal in front of everyone."

"He said these young people were demagogues who had brought the flu to this stronghold."

"I think Zhao Yi absolutely hates these young people for daring to do such a thing as buying people's hearts right under his nose."

"What do you think the people in the base will think of their savior? Will they plead for him? Or will they do nothing to help him?"

"Neither. They were very excited and threw the things in their hands at the young people, shouting hysterically."

"Kill them! Kill them!"

"Do you know what Zhao Yi did? He threw those young men into the crowd and let the people they rescued be beaten to death."

"I... really don't know how to describe that scene. In the end, those young men didn't even have a complete body left."

"How can this be true in this world?"
