After seeing my eye roll, Ajie laughed and stopped joking around. He just asked me softly.

"Do you think this is bad?"

My eyes flashed, and after hesitating for a moment, I sighed.

“It’s not bad, I just think there will be a lot of problems in the future.”

"It's not so bad now. Life is still tight and we don't have time to think about those trivial things."

"But, when you succeed in making this stronghold well-fed and well-watered, there might be some trouble."

I kicked the stones under my feet, my eyes dark, and continued speaking with a little helplessness.

“When you are full and satisfied, you will think of some random things, such as freedom.”

"By that time, this stronghold might have some conflicts, conflicts that we don't want to see."

"Of course, this is just my guess. You can also say that I am worrying too much."

Ajie clasped his hands in front of his chest, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he winked and nudged me with his shoulder, but after seeing Tongtong's kind eyes, he immediately distanced himself.

"Hehe, I'm not stupid, how could I do something so stupid."

"My current plan is to teach the children in this base to read and learn to read, so as to pick up what was left behind before."

"It just so happens that there are people in the base who used to be teachers. The only problem is the textbooks."

Having said that, Ajie looked at me with expectation in his eyes and said.

"For this matter, I can only count on you, the Doomsday Merchant."

I was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ajie in some surprise. This guy is really rough but smart. He can fight and also use his brain.

"Okay, leave it to me."

I generously agreed to Ajie's request. For a special person like me, this was not a difficult thing to do.

"but……"

I changed the subject, my expression suddenly became serious, and I spoke to Ajie in a deep voice.

"There is one more thing you must pay attention to right now."

Seeing my serious expression, Ajie's face also became serious and he asked.

"what's up?"

I looked at Ajie, thinking back to the pink petals floating outside the window last night, and couldn't help but raise my voice a little more.

"I don't know when that will be, but if you find any pink petals in the base, please destroy them immediately."

"This is a matter of great importance. I hope you can implement this matter forcefully."

Ajie's eyes were full of confusion, but he still nodded.

"Got it. I'll tell the people below."

As he spoke, Ajie came closer to me, even ignoring the fierce look in Tongtong's eyes behind him, and whispered.

"I also have something to remind you."

"Recently, a group of forces has emerged in this area. They are small in number, but their physical fitness is different from that of ordinary people."

"The most important thing is that they are looking for a person with a portrait."

"They call themselves... the Corpse God Cult."

Chapter 128 Suspicion

"They call themselves... the Corpse God Cult."

As Ajie's voice fell, my brain went blank in an instant, my pupils shrank, and my whole body felt cold. A strange chill spread from my legs, penetrated into my skin and flesh, and seeped into my bones.

Memories of the past come pouring in like raindrops falling from the sky.

Corpse God Cult, this word is like a nightmare to me. Those beasts eat my flesh, drink my blood, and want me to dedicate myself to them willingly like gods.

They appeared in my sight again.

Almost instantly, cold sweat broke out on my forehead. I wiped the sweat from my forehead with my right hand in a somewhat uncoordinated manner and asked Ajie in a hoarse voice.

"Where are they...now?"

I wasn't afraid of anything, I just felt sick, a feeling of sickness and disgust that I couldn't resist.

Do I hate them? Of course I do, but the disgust in my heart overwhelms this hatred, and I don't want to hear any more news about them.

Ajie obviously noticed something was wrong with me. He frowned slightly, looked around, and after making sure that no one was approaching, he spoke in a low voice.

"There were very few of them. They seemed to be here to gather information. They only met me outside the city. I don't know where they went."

"However, after that group of people appeared, a weak stronghold in this area was strangely destroyed."

"It's very weird. That group of people is weird from the inside out. I feel like they are not normal human beings."

I nodded slightly, feeling relieved, but also a little disappointed, disappointed that I couldn't go over immediately and tear those beasts into pieces.

Seeing that I was worried, Ajie smiled heartily, patted my shoulder and said lightly.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens."

"I will always stand by you."

I have no doubt about Ajie's determination when he said this, but I couldn't help but give it some thought.

"Don't be silly. Let me ask you, is it worth sacrificing the lives of other innocent people to save one person?"

Hearing this, Ajie shrugged slightly and answered directly without any hesitation.

"I don't know about others, but if it's to save you, it's definitely worth it."

“It’s a sure win.”

I was stunned when I heard that, and looked up at Ajie who had a calm expression. After staring at him for a long time, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Are you stupid? This is the simplest arithmetic problem."

"Can't you do it?"

Ajie still looked carefree. He rolled his eyes at me and sneered.

"But I don't think you're a math genius."

After saying that, Ajie's expression straightened up, he put away the smile on his face, and spoke slowly.

"This isn't grocery shopping, there's no need to do the math."

"I only know that as long as you are still here, there will be more people saved by you."

"Nothing is worth it or not. You are much more important and useful than me."

"I can die, but you can't."

Hearing this, I wanted to refute, but before I opened my mouth, Ajie punched me in the chest and said in a deep voice.

"Don't be silly, at least take your own life more seriously."

My breath was choked, and then a wry smile appeared on my face, and I sighed softly.

"Why am I thinking about this? It's really unnecessary worry."

Ajie smiled when he heard this, nodded in agreement, and said very confidently.

"Yeah, what are you worrying about? Is there any force stronger than the Shield Stronghold in this area?"

"Besides, don't forget that we have a secret killing weapon, the Maxim heavy machine gun."

"Everything is equal under the heavy machine gun."

After Ajie reminded me, I remembered that the Maxim heavy machine gun was still there, and my sense of security instantly increased.

During the conversation, Ajie and I did not stop and walked slowly in the shield stronghold. Tongtong was still shy and hid behind me, not daring to look at other people's eyes.

As we were walking, a hint of hesitation flashed in Ajie's eyes and his pace slowed down. I felt strange, so I stopped, looked at him with weird eyes and said.

"What's wrong? You look so hesitant. This is not like you."

Surprisingly, Ajie did not retort, but paused slightly, hesitating. After a moment, he spoke hesitantly.

"I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

I looked at Ajie speechlessly. His behavior today was a little abnormal. He was not as straightforward as usual.

"Just tell me, there is nothing you can't say."

Ajie sighed, the hesitation in his eyes did not dissipate, but became even stronger.

"How should I put it? This makes me feel a little petty and overly suspicious."

I couldn't stand Ajie's procrastination, so I kicked him lightly and urged him on in a bad mood.

"Just say what you want to say, don't make it up."

Ajie's eyes flashed, and after he hesitated for a moment, he slowly spoke.

"You know, before the apocalypse, I didn't do a clean job, and I wasn't considered a good person."

"So, I have always lived cautiously. I become suspicious at the slightest sign of trouble. This is a bad habit."

“But I can’t change it.”

This overly long-winded preparation made me even more curious, so I asked him more questions, somewhat like I was arguing with him.

"Give me an example."

Ajie glanced at me, shrank his head, and said in a low voice.

"For example, the lady behind you, I always feel that she looks at us like weeds."

“It’s like the way we look at ants.”

"..."

Damn it, Ajie's brain must have been damaged by the beating from Tongtong, he could actually say such stupid things.

I was at a loss for words about this, and instead of dwelling on the statement, I asked further questions.

"Is this what you were hesitating about just now?"

After he finished speaking, Ajie shook his head and muttered softly.

"That's not it."

"Then what exactly do you want to say?"

"..."

Ajie fell into silence, with a hint of struggle flashing across his face, which made me roll my eyes.

Just when my patience was about to be completely exhausted by Ajie, Ajie sighed deeply, and finally stopped hesitating and said in a deep voice.

"I think there's something wrong with Li Yi."

"……What did you say?"

I doubted my ears a little, and tilted my head, looking at Ajie in disbelief, but Ajie changed his previous hesitation and spoke again directly.

"I think there's something wrong with Li Yi!"

My face darkened and I asked softly.

"Do you have any basis for this?"

Ajie smiled bitterly, spread out his palms, and spoke slowly.

"It's just a strange feeling, with no direct basis."

“And this is exactly why I hesitated before.”

Ajie narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly exhaled a breath, and spoke slowly.

"I know this sounds petty, but Li Yi gives me a really weird feeling."

"Like... a lot like Qu Yunliu back then."
