what is the outcome of the novel

Shukhov dies,

Shukhov smokes a cigarette with his new tobacco during recount and rushes back inside to protect Tsezar's package. In return, Tsezar gives him two biscuits, some sugar, and a slice of sausage. He eats the sausage and gives one of his biscuits to Alyosha. Alyosha is reading his Bible and tries to convince Shukhov to find solace in religion, but he can't. He is just getting comfortable in his bunk when the men are called for a recount, this one taking place inside the barracks. Shukhov finally gets back in bed and thinks that this was an almost good day before he goes to sleep.
