I sell Coke in the doomsday

In the blink of an eye, it was two months later.

Autumn is gone, and winter is approaching us little by little, stepping on the morning frost crystals.

Early in the morning of that day, the sun was rising, and the warm sunlight shone through the window and fell on the head of the bed. I slowly opened my eyes in the dim light.

I subconsciously reached out my hand to my side, but felt nothing. I rubbed my eyes, sat up from the bed, looked at the empty side, and exhaled slightly.

Has Tongtong gotten up yet? That silly girl really likes reading.

I straightened my slightly messy hair and started to get dressed.

During these two months, nothing special happened. Tongtong and I lived a repetitive yet warm life. I went to the city to search for textbooks every day, and then returned home to teach Tongtong to read.

Tongtong is really smart and has an amazing memory. She can remember each word after reading it once, so I only taught her for a week and Tongtong was able to recognize new words through the context.

So, I stopped teaching Tongtong to read, but I still liked the sight of her sitting in my arms and reading seriously.

In the past two months, I have not been to the Shield Stronghold once, but have instead become somewhat decadent and indulged in the land of pleasure.

I have begun to look forward to life after Tongtong and I leave.

There were no other humans, no damn gambling, and no conflicts or disputes.

"coward!"

There was a voice cursing in my head, and I knew it was my own voice, but I ignored it.

Since the gods treat us as weeds, why should I take myself too seriously?

Selfish, arrogant, and sentimental, I am born unable to be a great person, so let me be a coward.

I am just an ordinary person among the masses. The only reason I can get to where I am today is because of my immortal body. I should accept my mediocrity.

Step, step, step.

I squinted my eyes, rubbed my hair, walked into the bathroom and started to wash. When I immersed my face in the sink, a pair of hands gently embraced my waist and the soft body pressed against my back.

"Tongtong."

I raised my face and called Tongtong's name helplessly. Tongtong poked out her little head, rested her chin on my shoulder, and tilted her head slightly.

"I can't go out and play today. I have to deliver some things to the Shield Stronghold."

I wiped my face with a towel while explaining to Tongtong.

Tongtong likes to wander around the city with me aimlessly. Sometimes she would urge me to leave early like this.

But unfortunately, that’s not possible today. After two months of searching, I have successfully found everything Ajie wanted.

The textbooks for the children and the TV that Ajie wanted were all available. Although the DVD player was not found, the laptop computer found at school before could be used. And extremely fortunately, the computer contained the Spring Festival Gala of that year, so the DVD player was no longer needed.

This is really my luck to be ranked second in these ten years of the end of the world.

So, now that everything has been gathered, it's time for me to deliver the goods to Ajie and the others, and tell them that I'm leaving.

After simply comforting Tongtong, I took the remaining potatoes at home, went downstairs, drove the car, and prepared to set off.

This is not a job that can be completed in one go. I will probably have to go to the Shield stronghold frequently to deliver goods in the next few days.

Not only because of my promise to Ajie, but also because of the guilt caused by my escape, I wanted to make up for it, so in addition to those textbooks and televisions, I also found a lot of supplies that should be useful to the shield base.

The journey is long and there is a lot of cargo, so it will take at least five consecutive days to deliver all the goods to the shield stronghold. In addition to these things, I also found several forklifts that can be used.

No matter how I think about it, I'm going to be busy for a long time.

After getting everything ready, I started the pickup truck and drove out of the city. Today's batch of goods is textbooks. Now the days are getting shorter and the journey is longer, so I guess this is the only trip I can make.

The journey was uneventful, and nothing worth mentioning happened. When I arrived at the gate of the Shield Fortress, the sun had already risen to the middle of the sky.

I parked the car in front of the gate of the shield stronghold and squinted at the sun in the sky while waiting for the gate to open.

We set out in the morning and arrived at noon, so it shouldn’t have taken me that long, right?

Just at this moment, the gate of the shield stronghold slowly opened, and Ajie led a group of people and slowly walked out from behind the gate. When I was about to say hello to Ajie, I found that Ajie's face was not looking good.

I was stunned when I saw this. What happened? I thought about it and got out of the car.

Ajie walked towards him, first took a look at the cargo in the pickup truck, then forced a smile and said.

"I knew this kind of thing would not be difficult for you."

I smiled, then my eyes focused, I lowered my voice and spoke to Ajie.

"You look very bad, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Ajie no longer concealed anything and gave a bitter smile. He turned around and greeted the others.

"Everyone, move these things in. I have something to say to this guy."

After saying that, Ajie turned around, his eyes dark, and spoke softly.

"It's not convenient to talk here. You come with me."

Seeing this, I became even more confused, so I followed Ajie into the shield stronghold. As I walked, I looked around the entire shield stronghold.

Everything was normal inside the Shield Stronghold, and there was nothing strange. It seemed that nothing special had happened here.

I followed Ajie and walked all the way to the mountainside, where there was an ordinary wooden house. Ajie walked into the wooden house before me. I hesitated for a moment and then followed him.

The moment I stepped into the wooden house, I saw several people sitting in it, including Sun Zheng and Song Mingtao, whom I knew, as well as some familiar people from the shield stronghold.

The remaining few people were in a state of great fear. Although they did not have any physical injuries, they were like frightened birds, and were extremely anxious.

Among these people, the most conspicuous one is Wang Zixuan, who looks haggard.

I frowned slightly. Shouldn't Wang Zixuan be staying in the ancient city stronghold? Why did she appear here?

Ajie pulled over two stools, looked around, and finally set his gaze on Wang Zixuan, sighing softly.

"Zixuan, Su Li is here."

"You may continue."

I sat on the stool with Ajie, and the doubts in my heart grew stronger. After seeing me, the people in the ancient city stronghold and Wang Zixuan were obviously relieved, and the fear in their eyes dissipated a lot.

Damn it, don't expect that from me, I've decided to be a coward.

Chapter 143 Flower Disaster

After I sat down, everyone's eyes were focused on me, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

No matter how many times, I can never get used to this expectant look.

I looked at Wang Zixuan awkwardly, coughed lightly, and asked her.

"Speak up, what happened, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Wang Zixuan's eyes dimmed, she bit her lips in pain, pressed her hands on her forehead, and looked very uncomfortable. She slowly raised her head and squeezed out a few words from her trembling mouth.

"The ancient city stronghold... is over."

Hearing this, my eyebrows raised, and I was so shocked that I almost stood up. But Ajie put his hand on my shoulder and signaled with his eyes that I should continue listening.

Wang Zixuan looked painful, and kept scratching and pressing his forehead, speaking in a hoarse and dry voice.

"Su Li, you don't know what happened in the ancient city stronghold in the past two months."

I was becoming more and more uneasy, but seeing Wang Zixuan's painful look, I couldn't rush her too much and could only ask with concern.

"Zixuan, what happened in the ancient city stronghold?"

Wang Zixuan took a long breath, lowered his brows, looked at the table, and spoke slowly.

"I don't know how to put it. Ever since you and Li Yi and the others parted on bad terms that day, I feel that the atmosphere in the ancient city stronghold has changed a little."

"You know, everyone in the city respects you. I thought there would be a lot of people who would come out to accuse Gao Lian and Li Yi."

"But that day, the leaders in charge of various matters in the city didn't say a word, and they looked dazed, as if they were wandering in a trance."

"At that time, I began to feel strange, but I didn't expect that they would be so unscrupulous later."

At this point, Wang Zixuan turned pale, looked up at me, and said weakly.

"You know, it was actually the day before you came."

"A child has gone missing in the ancient city stronghold. No matter how hard we look for him, there is no news of him."

"This is a very strange thing. No one can leave the ancient city stronghold, and no one can enter. Whether he is alive or dead, he will be in the stronghold."

"But for some reason, we just couldn't find the boy."

"And... while we were still searching for the child, another old man... went missing in the city."

Wang Zixuan's body trembled, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, his chest heaved violently, and after a long pause, he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"At the same time, the body of the child we couldn't find finally appeared."

"I don't know how to describe the body of that child. He had been missing for a month, but his body didn't smell rotten."

"But... there are holes all over his body, as if... something has come out of his body."

Wang Zixuan suddenly looked up, looked at me straight, and spoke to me while her body trembling.

"What scares me the most is that the child's body has a strange smell, a very... fragrant smell."

"A fragrance that makes you want to eat it."

When I heard this, I felt cold and nauseous. When I looked again, the other people surrounding the shield stronghold also had nauseous expressions.

After a moment, Wang Zixuan lowered his head and continued speaking.

"At the beginning, everyone was very angry and thought there was a traitor in the base and that he was responsible for everything."

"But over the next two months, more and more people went missing, and each time a corpse appeared it became more horrific."

"In addition to being angry, everyone is also starting to get scared."

"The whole stronghold was in a panic, and I... also guessed who was doing this."

"I don't know when it started, but the tall building in the city became the territory of Li Yi and Gao Lian. I seldom go there, and there are people guarding the door there."

"Three nights ago, I sneaked in, and then... and then I saw..."

"I saw... a lot of corpses piled up in the room on the third floor. All the corpses were covered with pink flowers."

Wang Zixuan seemed to feel the cold. She hugged her shoulders with both hands, her breathing became rapid, and her voice became even more trembling.

"I don't know why I have such a strange feeling, but I really feel that... those pink flowers are living, conscious creatures."

"I saw Li Yi and Gao Lian gathered around a corpse, inhaling pink flower petals like drug addicts."

"At that time, I took a step back in fear and made a noise, which alarmed Gao Lian and Li Yi."

"I saw it. When they turned around, their eyes were like those of wild beasts, savage and violent."

"They saw me... they really wanted to kill me."

At this point, Wang Zixuan's face was pale. She stretched out her hands, pressed them to her face, and finally choked with sobs and cried, speaking intermittently.

"They...they wanted to...kill me."

The room was dead silent. The people from the ancient city stronghold who were with Wang Zixuan also looked miserable and desperate.

I don’t know how to comfort Wang Zixuan, but at the same time I also understand that Gao Lian and Li Yi were like real brothers to Wang Zixuan.

At that time, those two people would rather die to protect Wang Zixuan, but now they can kill her without hesitation.

After Wang Quan, Wang Zixuan once again lost her few remaining relatives.

No one spoke amid the low, suppressed sobs. I stood up gently, patted Ajie's shoulder, and whispered in his ear.

"Comfort her."

After saying that, I turned and walked out of the wooden house. Outside the wooden house, a breeze suddenly blew, bringing a little chill. I kicked the gravel on the ground casually, feeling irritable, and subconsciously touched my pocket, wanting to take out a pack of cigarettes.

But unfortunately, my pockets were empty. Then I remembered that I had left all the cigarettes I had collected to Sun Zheng.

Just when I was becoming more and more upset, a hand reached out and handed me a cigarette.

I turned around in surprise, only to see Sun Zheng standing next to me. I smiled bitterly, took the cigarette he handed me, put it in my lips, and slowly lit it.

My heart is in turmoil. I am more upset than anyone else here.

I have decided to leave here, but why do these bad things always stand in my way?

Especially the pink flowers. I remember clearly that when I first encountered that ghost thing at the source, there were many pink flowers growing on the body of a flying bird.
