I sell Coke in the doomsday

I stopped what I was doing and used the light to see the figure holding the crossbow. It was a girl. Her skin was a little rough from the wind. She didn't look very old, probably only about fifteen or sixteen years old.

It didn't feel good to have an arrow piercing my head, so I gave up resisting. Also, this group of people gave me a very strange feeling. They didn't use a crossbow to give me a fatal blow at the beginning, but wanted to capture me alive.

After seeing that I gave up resistance, the remaining two breathed a sigh of relief, and then another person walked out of the darkness. He was a burly man who seemed to be the leader of these people.

The leading man looked at me and walked towards me, giving orders.

"lay down your weapon."

I obediently put the shotgun on the ground, and at the same time I was thinking in my heart, if it was just a team of four, I was sure I could get rid of them all with my immortal body.

But, I want to see how they do it.

After the leading man saw me put down my shotgun, he winked at the other two men. The two men immediately understood what he meant and walked towards me quickly. They first took away my shotgun and then took the backpack off my back.

Unfortunately, my backpack is now empty and I haven’t had time to open it today. They must be very disappointed.

The two men took my shotgun and backpack, returned to the leading man, whispered a few words to him, and the leading man took the backpack, then turned his eyes to me and asked.

"There won't be any supplies in the library. What are you doing here?"

I didn't say anything witty and answered honestly.

"I want to find some books to read."

Hearing this, the four of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, clapped their legs and laughed in tacit understanding. No one knew what part of their funny bone this sentence touched.

"Hahahahahaha."

Those four people laughed for a long time, so much so that I began to wonder if their lungs had mutated. But after they stopped laughing, their next actions left me a little overwhelmed.

I saw two of them take out a few cans from their backpacks, put them into my backpack, and then throw them at me with force.

I took the backpack in a daze, my brain suddenly short-circuited, and I looked at the four people in confusion.

They obviously saw my confusion. The man in the lead smiled at me gently and said.

"You can't eat just by reading. Take these cans."

I frowned, feeling like a rabbit was running around in my head, and my thoughts were completely messed up.

"No, do you have any questions?"

In this world, when you are searching for supplies in the city, all the strangers you meet are a kind of supplies, and fighting for life and death should be the norm.

The tall man sat on the bookshelf in a relaxed manner and said with a smile.

"My name is Gao Lian."

"The idiot you just kicked is called Li Yi."

"The handsome girl holding a crossbow is called Wang Zixuan."

As he spoke, Gao Lian turned his gaze towards the leading man, the smile on his face widened a little as he spoke.

"He is our leader and Zixuan's brother, Wang Quan."

"Just like you, a nice guy who can't even fill his stomach and still wants to come here to find a few books."

I held my backpack, looked at the man named Wang Quan, and said softly.

"In this world, good people don't survive."

Wang Quan shrugged slightly and replied indifferently.

"you're right."

"But I am still alive today. Maybe God doesn't want me to die."

When I heard this, I laughed. For a moment, I felt that this Wang Quan was very similar to me, and at the same time I was a little excited.

Finally, in this shitty world, I met a real living person.

At this moment, I let go of all my guard, sat down on the ground with my backpack, looked at Wang Quan with a smile, and asked him like an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time.

“What’s your favorite book?”

Hearing this, Wang Quan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He smiled and refused to answer my question.

As for his sister, Wang Zixuan, who was standing next to them, smiled at the people beside them and said something sarcastic.

"My brother likes the book Lolita the most."

"It's a disgusting lolita."

After that, the other two also laughed. I seemed to be infected by them and laughed happily too.

I looked at Wang Quan, who seemed a little embarrassed by everyone's laughter, and suddenly felt a little satisfied. So, I looked at him, recalled the famous lines in "Lolita", and recited them softly.

"Lolita, the light of my life."

"The fire of my lust, my sin, my soul."

I saw that Wang Quan's eyes lit up at this moment, and he seemed very happy. He laughed and laughed, and then recited softly in the same voice.

"I looked at her, and looked at her again and again."

"For my whole life, with all my heart, she is the one I love most. I am sure of that, just as I am sure of my own death."

"She can fade, she can wither, whatever."

"But I only looked at her once, and all kinds of tenderness came over me."

After saying that, Wang Quan and I smiled at each other, and we both saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

Wang Quan threw my shotgun to me and I reached out to catch it. I was not surprised by this, but the remaining three people were shocked and immediately prepared to continue fighting with me, but were stopped by Wang Quan.

Gao Lian stared at Wang Quan in confusion and spoke loudly.

"Boss, are you crazy?"

In response, Wang Quan just shook his head slightly, looked at me confidently, and spoke slowly.

"Don't worry, he could have shot you when he was fighting you, but he didn't."

"He's just like me, his mind isn't right."

I lived up to his expectations and put the shotgun aside, and at the same time I agreed with his words.

The key to the survival of an organism is to change with the environment. Since we live in a world where life is as cheap as grass, perhaps becoming cold-blooded and violent is the most suitable way to survive.

Staying sober is actually a kind of madness and stubbornness engraved in the bones.

I opened my backpack, threw the two cans they had stuffed in back to them, and warned Wang Quan.

"If you continue to be so soft-hearted, you will probably die."

"So, I still suggest you to kill them first in a place like this, and don't take any chances."

Wang Quan took the two cans, seemed a little unconvinced, and retorted.

"What about you? Didn't you just miss a shot?"

I rolled my eyes at Wang Quan, patted the shotgun beside me, and explained very frankly.

"My shooting skills are terrible. I didn't shoot because I didn't want to waste bullets."

"and……"

I leaned against the wall, gave the four people a strange smile, and said with a little pride.

"I am immortal. I can take care of you four losers even without a gun."

The four of them were stunned for a moment, then they all shook their heads and laughed, looking at me as if I were a fool. After they had laughed enough, Gao Lian asked me curiously.

"Why do you keep the habits of civilized society?"

I narrowed my eyes. This was a very interesting question, but its answer was boring and monotonous. I thought about it and said to them with a smile.

"For me, it's the only thing I can do after losing something precious."

"It is to remember forever."

I looked up at the ceiling covered with cobwebs, my eyes were dazed, and my throat suddenly became hoarse and weak, as if just thinking about it had exhausted all my strength.

“Someone has to remember.”

"There used to be a lot of people in this place. They wouldn't kill each other the moment they met, nor would they become enemies over a few cans of smelly food."

"They would sit quietly, holding the books they wanted to read, listening to their favorite music, and getting lost in one bizarre story after another."

"We were human once, and we should be human now."

"Isn't that right?"

Chapter 15 Shield Stronghold

Wang Quan and four other people talked to me a lot about zombies and human strongholds. After their explanations, I finally understood.

They were running for their lives, not from zombies, but from the human stronghold that originally belonged to the same camp as them.

"When the apocalypse happened, we were lucky enough to find a well-restored ancient city that was used as a tourist attraction with a group of people."

"At that time, the ancient city had just stopped being open to the public and was undergoing restoration work, so there were only a few staff members responsible for guarding the ancient city."

"Unfortunately, they also turned into zombies. It took us a lot of effort to kill all of them."

"That ancient city can be said to be a natural fortress, so we will establish a base there."

"In the following years, we took in many humans and planted crops on the vacant land."

"We set order and maintained order, and everything was going smoothly."

Wang Quan's eyes suddenly became dim. He smiled at himself, then exhaled slowly and said in a depressed tone.

"But we have taken in too many humans, and soon we will run out of supplies. Even if I take people to search for supplies in the city every day, it will still be difficult to supply them."

"At this time, the brothers who accompanied me to build the base suggested to me that we should drive all the old people and disabled people out of the city to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Wang Quan lowered his eyebrows and pressed his fingers on the ground. His knuckles turned slightly white, as if he was using a lot of force. He slowly wrote the word "good" on the ground.

"To be fair, this is actually very correct advice."

"As a leader, you are either incompetent or ruthless."

"And I am indeed an incompetent leader. I cannot bear to watch those people die in front of my eyes."

"I can only promise that brother that I will not take in any other humans."

"Now that I think about it, my answer doesn't really matter, because he's already had enough of me."

“I’m tired of sharing power with others.”

Wang Quan gently raised his hand, wiped the dust from his nails, stared blankly at the word "善" on the ground, and said in a bleak voice.

"When we came out to search for supplies, he brought his men and killed most of the people in the stronghold."

"Instead of doing what he suggested to me, he killed everyone he disliked."

"For example, he had always liked the wife of a brother who had established a stronghold with us. He killed the brother who had saved him and took his wife."

"Afterwards, he buried all the bodies in the field we had reclaimed, thinking that with the nourishment of human corpses, the field would become more fertile next year."

"When we returned to the city, he sent people to arrest us and wanted to execute me in front of him to prove his power in the stronghold."

“Luckily, we all escaped and started wandering around.”

"He has been sending people to hunt us down. It seems that he cannot rest in peace until he sees my body."

When Wang Quan was telling this story, the other three were all in low spirits. They sat on the ground in silence, unwilling to make any sound.

Wang Quan suddenly smiled, his smile full of bitterness. He looked at me, as if he wanted to find an answer, and asked softly.

"Tell me, does everyone have the dream of becoming a local emperor?"

I looked at Wang Quan quietly. Unlike him, I have witnessed many internal conflicts in human strongholds. I know that in this doomsday, once people change, they will never look back.

They will only get worse, not better.

"What are your plans next?"

I asked them, making the decision in my mind that if they had nowhere to go, I could place them in my community.

Although it would be troublesome to explain my physical condition, it is indeed a very safe place.

Wang Quan thought for a moment, drew a shield shape on the ground, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and said to me.
