I sell Coke in the doomsday

After all, that pickup truck has been with me for several years and looks better.

I didn't have much to take with me, so after a simple packing, I was ready. I just had to say goodbye to Tongtong before I could set off.

After I waited for ten minutes, Tongtong finally put on her clothes and slowly walked out of the bedroom.

But after seeing that I was dressed as if I was going out, Tongtong took small steps and grabbed my clothes nervously.

"..."

Tongtong didn't say anything, she just raised her little face and looked at me with some pleading, which made people feel distressed.

It seems that Tongtong must have been very lonely during the time I was away.

I smiled helplessly, and like I used to do, I stroked Tongtong's little head and comforted her softly.

"Tongtong, be good."

"I can come back today."

Hearing this, Tongtong just bit her lips and said nothing, but her little hands refused to let go.

I tried to persuade her for a long time, but Tongtong was still like this, which made me laugh and cry, and I was at a loss as to what to do.

Just as I was thinking hard, Tongtong suddenly blinked and spoke in a low voice.

"I...I want to go too."

Hearing this, I was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then I came to my senses.

It seems that Tongtong has been staying by my side since I picked her up. I am afraid that she will get hurt or that something unexpected will happen to her.

But this excessive desire to protect may also be hurting Tongtong.

I looked at Tongtong's pleading expression, and after a moment of distraction, I smiled at her, held her hand, nodded heavily, and replied.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Tongtong's eyes lit up instantly, she smiled happily and gave me a big hug.

But after this hug, I took out a pistol from the house and put it on me.

I am not afraid of guns, but the same may not be true for Tongtong. I don’t know how many strange things about Tongtong that I don’t know about, but I don’t want to take the chance.

After packing everything up, I took Tongtong out of the room and came to the community.

Yesterday, I did not drive the jeep into the community, but parked it at the gate of the community. Now when I looked over, I found that a lot of zombies had gathered around the jeep.

But after seeing me, the group of zombies scattered. It seems that I don’t have a very good reputation among the zombies.

I opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, and Tongtong also sat in the passenger seat. The jeep drove slowly with the sound of the jeep's engine.

The black wheels rolled over the dry grass and headed out of the city.

This was Tongtong's first time riding in a car, so she was particularly excited and looked at the scenery outside the car.

In the deserted city, there are no rabbits running around, only fallen leaves on the ground. After the wheels run over them, the dead leaves are completely crushed.

I had walked the road out of the city countless times and was very familiar with it, so it didn't take me much time to drive the jeep out of the city.

When the tall buildings disappeared, I deliberately slowed down the car. Tongtong had never seen the scenery outside the city, and I wanted her to see it more carefully.

Sure enough, when the mountains and plains appeared on the horizon, a strange light appeared in Tongtong's eyes. She looked at the scenery outside the window and kept pulling my arm with her little hands.

I slowed down the car and turned to look at Tongtong, only to see Tongtong pointing at a lake outside the window with a smile on her face.

The lake in the distance sparkled under the sunlight, and fish jumped out of the water from time to time.

It was a round lake and it was a very famous place in my childhood. But later people preferred to go to faraway places and the lake became deserted.

The lake in the distance always seems to be clearer and more beautiful than the lake nearby.

I looked at the lake in the distance and introduced it to Tongtong softly.

"That place used to be a very lively place, called... called..."

This lake...what is its name?

I was speechless and couldn't remember the name of the lake. I just vaguely remembered that this lake was once very famous.

With or without a name, the lake is still the same lake, but I feel that the lake is no longer complete.

The world of the past seemed to begin to fall apart in my mind.

I cannot deny that I am forgetting the old world that once made me stop and refuse to move forward.

Is it because of...Tongtong?

I didn’t think about it any further, but just whispered to Tongtong.

"When we come back, I'll take you somewhere to play."

Hearing this, Tongtong raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded very seriously.

"Ok!"

I turned my gaze back to the road and drove the jeep along the route I remembered all the way to the shield stronghold.

The wind blew away the clouds and the sand along the way. This might be the slowest time I have ever driven. From time to time I had to introduce to Tongtong things outside the car window that she had never seen before.

But this was also the happiest journey I have had in these years.

After stopping and starting for a very long time, I finally drove the jeep to the shield stronghold.

The magnificent and huge shield fortress appeared in my sight again.

This time, I didn't need to introduce myself. The gate of the stronghold was opened early, and a dense crowd of people poured out.

It seems that the people in the ancient city stronghold have already told Ajie the news of my return.

Ah, this scene is very familiar to me. I just saw it yesterday.

When I stopped the jeep, Ajie, who was in the crowd, came up to me quickly with a cheesy smile on his face.

But when he was halfway there, he saw Tongtong getting out of the car. The smile on his face froze and he stepped back cowardly.

Yes, the first time he and Tongtong met, Tongtong slapped him on the head to the ground. Fortunately, he did not die on the spot, but it naturally left a big trauma.

When Tongtong got off the bus, the people crowded at the gate suddenly became quiet. They were as silent as a mouse and looked at Tongtong quietly. No one came to see me at all.

Yes, for the people surrounding the Shield Stronghold, the person they truly remember in their hearts is the deceased Qu Yunliu.

As for Tongtong, apart from her exquisite and perfect appearance, a girl with silver hair and red eyes would have attracted countless attention even ten years ago.

Tongtong seemed to be very afraid of such a sight. She hid behind me timidly and didn't dare to show her head.

On the other side, Ajie finally plucked up the courage, came up cautiously, and laughed dryly.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Chapter 127 Storm is Coming

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Facing the cowardly Ajie, I couldn't help but laugh and went up to give him a hug.

Let me make it clear in advance that this hug did not have any special meaning, but after the hug, Ajie's eyes became frightened and he quickly took a few steps back.

I felt a little embarrassed, then rolled my eyes and sneered at Ajie, who was seeing danger everywhere.

"What are you doing? Don't make the atmosphere weird."

Ajie forced a smile, still looking like he was ready to run away at any moment. He moved his lips slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"It's not that I meant to do this, but the look in the eyes of that... that lady behind you just now was a little scary."

"I'm really afraid that she'll slap me into a pulp."

“The kind that doesn’t leak.”

Hearing this, I was a little confused and turned to look at Tongtong who was hiding behind me, but I only saw Tongtong's eyes were soft and she smiled sweetly at me.

What's so scary about this?

"Ajie, did your brain get caught in the door? Why is Tongtong's eyes so scary?"

The corners of Ajie's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled bitterly with some helplessness.

"The way she looks at you is totally different from the way she looks at us."

Hearing this, I became even more confused and turned my head quickly, but what I saw was still Tongtong's harmless appearance, which was not at all what Ajie said.

"Ajie, don't be so suspicious."

Ajie had an expression that looked as if he had something to complain about, and after a moment, he sighed deeply, then turned around and chuckled softly to the people behind him.

"Okay, okay, everyone go away and do your own things."

Hearing this, the dense crowd was stunned for a moment, but they still took a reluctant look at Tongtong who was hiding behind me before turning around and dispersing.

Ajie glanced at me, then waved gently and smiled.

"Let's go and see the changes in the shield stronghold."

I smiled and nodded, stepped forward, walked side by side with Ajie, and walked into the gate of the Shield Stronghold.

As the crowd went away, Ajie lowered his voice, his expression unchanged, and spoke in a voice that only the two of us could hear.

"Where's the monster that took you away?"

I kept my expression unchanged, lowered my voice and replied in a low voice.

"He's dead, don't worry."

Hearing this, Ajie breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had put down a heavy burden in his heart, and sighed in a low voice.

"That's good. Zombies are already enough of a headache. If some new monsters appear, I won't be able to handle it."

In the Ancient City Stronghold and the Shield Stronghold, perhaps the person I trust the most is Ajie.

Compared to the trio in the ancient city stronghold, Ajie was more frank and showed his true feelings. He was willing to gamble his life with me.

I raised my eyes and looked forward. The shield stronghold had not changed much since I left, except for the shield symbol and the wooden house where Qu Yunliu had lived for a long time.

In addition, there were many more wells in the stronghold, with flames burning beside the wells, and a group of people were busy working around a big pot.

I turned to look at Ajie and asked softly.

“What are these wells for?”

Upon hearing this, Ajie smiled complacently, put his hands behind his back, looked at me sideways, and said.

"you guess."

Without any hesitation, I turned my head to look at the nervous Tongtong behind me and called out softly.

"Tongtong, beat..."

Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by Ajie, who looked terrified.

"No, no, no! I said it's not okay."

However, at the same time, Tongtong behind me actually clenched her little fist and looked eager to try. I was a little panicked and reached out to hold down Tongtong's little fist.

I was just joking, but I didn't dare let Tongtong really punch Ajie. With Tongtong's brute strength, I wasn't sure if Ajie's head could withstand a punch and survive.

After I calmed Tongtong down, Ajie explained to me.

"I want to try to avoid people going to the city to plunder supplies, so I'm trying to find a way to be completely self-sufficient."

“Among them, salt is one of the most important things.”

"Coincidentally, I know a very backward method of making salt, which is to boil salt using well water, also called well salt."

"I don't know if the well water here can be used to make well salt. At first, I only used the existing well in the base to experiment."

"The results of the experiment were very good, so I asked everyone to dig a few more wells to make well salt."

I listened quietly and understood Ajie's previous pride. This is indeed something to be proud of.

However, it sounded like Ajie had given up on the idea of ​​exploring the city and wanted everyone to live in this cramped base.

"Are you planning to make a prison of this place so that no one can leave it again?"

Hearing this, Ajie frowned and reminded me.

"Isn't this how the term 'drawing a circle to imprison' is used?"
