I sell Coke in the doomsday

Li Yi's eyes narrowed, and the movement of searching his pocket slowed down a bit. Then his voice turned cold, and he raised his head and looked straight at Gao Lian.

"So he died, but Su Li is still alive."

"You think Su Li is our savior, no, he just uses us as useful pawns."

"The ancient city is a good place, but now it is just a mess, so he needs a dog who obeys his orders to temporarily manage this mess."

"When everything is getting better, he will show up and use his prestige in the stronghold to successfully take it down."

Li Yi took a step forward, took out a small iron box from his hand, and gently patted Gao Lian's face with a dark look in his eyes.

"You better be clear-headed. If you can't do it cleanly and neatly, sooner or later, we will be liquidated by him."

"You want to be a dog, but I don't."

After saying that, Li Yi stuffed the small iron box into Gao Lian's hand, turned around and left, walking towards the stronghold.

Gao Lian's eyes dimmed, and he looked down at the iron box in his hand, his expression becoming bitter.

Everything was just an excuse. Li Yi's words had never convinced him. The only thing that really made him obey was this iron box.

Gao Lian slowly opened the iron box. A hint of pink quietly appeared in the rusty iron box. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pink petal.

The sunlight fell on the pink petals, which were crystal clear and looked like a rare treasure in the world. Gao Lian picked up the pink petal, brought it to his lips, and whispered softly.

“Those who cannot hear the music think those who dance are crazy.”

After saying that, Gao Lian stuffed the pink petal into his mouth and swallowed it. Then, his body trembled and his eyes became distracted and blurred.

After a moment, Gao Lian slowly stretched his body, a light flashed in his eyes, but there was no trace of guilt anymore. He breathed a sigh of relief and strode towards the gate of the stronghold.

In the ancient city stronghold, Li Yi held his head high with his chest puffed out, walked forward with his head held high, and strode towards the tallest building in the city. That used to be Liu Yong's residence, and after Liu Yong's death, it became the place where everyone held meetings.

However, up to now, no one holds those meaningless meetings anymore, and that building has unknowingly become the place where Li Yi spends most of his time.

Li Yi walked up the stairs to the third floor, and all traces of the fight had disappeared.

Li Yi walked to the third floor, sat on a sofa that originally belonged to Liu Yong, crossed his legs, and waited leisurely.

A moment later, several figures came up the stairs stealthily, their eyes were dazed and they kept swallowing their saliva.

The leader was a young man. The young man looked at Li Yi, bent down humbly, and said in a trembling voice.

"Chief Li, give it to me...give it to us."

Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up a teacup on the table, looked at it carefully, and said softly.

"I can't hear what you are saying, raise your voice a little higher."

Pfft!

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people knelt down on the ground in unison. The young man looked painful, grabbing his chest and begging.

"Chief, please give us the medicine."

Seeing everyone kneeling down, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Li Yi's eyes. He reached into his arms again, took out an iron box, and gently opened it. However, the iron box no longer contained complete pink petals, but were ground into powder.

"Before I give it to you, I need to confirm one thing."

Li Yi waved the iron box in front of everyone as if he was teasing a dog. As he looked at those people flocking to it, the joy in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

"If you can only choose one between me and Su Li."

"Who will you choose?"

Hearing this, the group of people answered quickly without any hesitation.

"Of course, Chief! How could we possibly choose an outsider?"

Hearing this, Li Yi sneered, threw the iron box to the young man in the lead, and said casually.

"Take it and divide it among yourselves, and don't bother me here."

Everyone was overjoyed. After kowtowed several times, they left the place as if they were running away.

Li Yi put his hands behind his head contentedly and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Will people's hearts change? Of course they will.

Looking back on the past, Li Yi just felt that he was stupid. Why did he suffer all those hardships in vain? Without those pink flowers, he didn't know how long he would be in a daze.

If I were just a little more ruthless, I could have been in this position long ago.

"Chief Li."

Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded in Li Yi's ears, but Li Yi was not panicked. He slowly opened his eyes.

However, he saw that, at some point, a young girl had been sitting opposite the table in front of him.

The girl's skin was slightly dark, but not as rough as others. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, yet she had a heroic look, without a trace of weakness.

Li Yi looked at the girl, slowly sat up straight, and asked the girl without any context.

"Did you see it?"

Hearing this, the girl answered briefly.

"I saw it."

Li Yi continued to ask.

"Is he the person you are looking for?"

The girl nodded slightly again and uttered a word.

"Yes."

When Li Yi heard this, his eyes flashed, and then he revealed a ferocious smile. At this time, the girl looked at Li Yi thoughtfully and said softly.

"The pink flower in Mr. Li's hand is really magical."

Hearing this, Li Yi looked at the girl in front of him carefully and asked softly.

"Would you like to have some?"

The girl shook her head slowly and sighed.

"It's a shame. I don't know why."

"That pink flower is a terrible poison to us. Taking it will lead to death."

Li Yi was a little surprised, but then he put the matter behind him. He leaned forward slightly and asked the girl in a low voice.

"Then...Su Li will be left to you, the Corpse God Cult, to deal with."

The girl smiled when she heard that and stretched out her hand towards Li Yi. Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then held the girl's hand and smiled.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

Chapter 133 Shadow

As the day grew darker, I drove my broken pickup truck and started my journey home with Tongtong.

After a busy day, I settled Sun Zheng and Song Mingtao's family in the shield stronghold.

However, being so busy makes me feel even more confused, as if everything I do is in vain.

I clearly remember the scene of meeting Gao Lian, Li Yi and others. I never thought that they would become strangers to me.

Is there something secretly fueling the situation?

I have always believed that a person's nature cannot change at will. It always requires reasons and time.

So, maybe there really is something that I don’t know about, which is hostile to me and slowly approaching me in the darkness.

That bet, that damn bet! It's really coming!

I gripped the steering wheel tightly, the blood in my body was restlessly stirring, and a crazy thought was gnawing at my body.

What exactly is that bet?

What should I do to win?

Tongtong seemed to see my distress and sat quietly in the passenger seat without saying a word.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a pink petal suddenly flew up from the wind and hit the glass of the pickup truck.

I was stunned, and finally realized something. The gamble must be related to these pink petals. If I go back to the source again, perhaps I can get the answer.

Thinking of this, I stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the pickup truck suddenly accelerated and sped towards the city.

When the pickup truck passed the lake, I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't slow down.

I remember that when we passed by here in the early morning, I promised Tongtong that I would accompany her to play in front of the lake on the way back.

I'm sorry to break my promise.

I didn’t dare to look at Tongtong’s expression. I was afraid to see disappointment and loneliness in her red pupils.

But, the pink petals are like a thorn in my heart. If I don’t see what’s going on today, I will not be able to sleep or eat. How can I have the heart to accompany Tongtong to play in front of the lake?

"Sorry, Hitomi."

I looked straight ahead and whispered apologetically.

"Next time, next time I will definitely accompany you there to play."

Tongtong didn't seem angry. Instead, she raised her little hand, placed it on the side of my cheek, and stroked it gently.

"Ah."

However, the more well-behaved Tongtong is, the more guilty I feel. But now, I can no longer stop. Even if there is no way forward, I have no way to retreat.

There was no conversation along the way. I drove the pickup truck back to the entrance of the community.

Tongtong pushed open the door very naturally and got out of the pickup truck, but when she turned around, she found that I was still sitting in the driver's seat.

Facing Tongtong's puzzled eyes, I forced a smile and spoke in a dry voice.

"Tongtong, I have something to go out for."

"You...wait for me at home first."

To my surprise, this time Tongtong did not refuse to let me go. Instead, she smiled brightly, moved her lips slightly, and spoke stutteringly.

"I'm waiting for you."

Hearing this, I smiled, my eyes softened, I gripped the steering wheel again, and spoke softly to Tongtong.

"Just wait for me, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, I waved gently to Tongtong, then started the pickup truck and set off again.

The night was like a curtain, the stars in the sky were still just dim, and the cold wind in the city was howling through the streets and alleys.

I drove the pickup truck along the route I remembered. In the darkness, I gritted my teeth and looked a little grim.

Pink petals, the Corpse God Cult, and the sudden change in temperament. What is the connection between Gao Lian and Li Yi?

I need an answer, an answer that allows me to let Gao Lian and Li Yi go, or an answer that allows me to kill them.

In the dim vision, the zombies in the city began their carnival, roaring and screaming with all their might, making my head feel dizzy.

As I went deeper and deeper into the center of the city, the roars of the zombies became less and less frequent.

This is something I haven't noticed before. It seems that I have never seen any traces of zombies near the source of the pink flowers.

Is there any strange connection between the two?

Before I could figure out the answer to this question, the road ahead was no longer suitable for cars, which also meant that I was getting close to the source.

"call……"

I took a deep breath nervously, then exhaled slowly. Then, with a serious face, I stepped out of the car and walked forward.

I saw that the road ahead was covered with white gravel, broken walls and ruins, a real ruin.

I walked up the gravel ground. In the pitch-black night, I couldn't find the direction in my memory. I could only walk forward step by step like a fool, relying on my intuition and tentatively.

This was undoubtedly a stupid idea. I wandered around in the huge ruins for a long time like a headless fly, but I couldn't even find the direction I came from.

I suddenly stood still, took a long breath, and called out softly to the empty front.

"Are you watching, Lord God?"
