Chapter 388 Father and Daughter

The Firefly organization has its own quarantine area with a research institute and doctors.

Ellie is the hope of researching a vaccine.

If a vaccine can be developed, there will be a glimmer of hope in this desperate apocalypse.

Joel does not believe such nonsense and does not want to complete this task. The future is full of dangers.

But Tess wanted to persist.

Escaped the pursuit of soldiers and briefly supplied supplies.

Xiaobai discovered another surprise.

When modifying weapons at the workbench.

There is a whole set of animations.

To add a scope to a weapon, you really need to take the scope and install it according to the actual process of adding accessories.

To clean a weapon, apply gun oil to the weapon and wipe away any residue from the barrel.

[I don’t even know how to praise, I’m so proud that my mouth is wandering]

[It’s all done if you’re awesome]

Next destination, the Empire State Building.

The journey was not safe.

The human enemies we see are getting better and better equipped, and the zombies we see are getting more and more terrifying.

There are even sound trackers, monsters that are thick-skinned, very aggressive, and very fast.

The goal is about to be reached.

But unfortunately.

The firefly soldiers who were responsible for connecting with several people along the way were all killed.

Naturally, I don’t know where Huo Ying’s isolation area is.

Joel and Tess have a violent argument.

Joel said that the mission was over and he had to go back.

But Tess had to carry on no matter what.

It turned out that Tess was infected.

During a battle, he was bitten on the collarbone by a zombie.

There isn't much time left for her.

To make matters worse, soldiers came to hunt him down.

Tess decided to stay and hold off the soldiers, preferring to die in battle rather than become one of the zombies.

Not long after Joel left, gunshots were heard.

Tess is neither a good person nor a bad person, just an ordinary person.

【Goodbye, Tess】

[Offline, hey]

[Even though it was a knife, fortunately, I died with dignity]

For the rest of the journey, only Joel and Ellie were left.

Escaped with great difficulty.

Ellie: "I don't know where to start about Tess. I'm sorry."

Just these words made Joel, a man who has experienced "loss" his whole life, even more angry.

"Listen, here's what's coming next. You're never allowed to mention Tess, ever! Secondly, never talk to anyone else about your situation. Finally, no matter what, you must do what I say! Listen! understand?!"

In order to continue the journey, you need to find a car first, and then go to Tommy, who has been in the Firefly organization, to learn the location of the laboratory.

So the next stop is the town of Bill.

Tess and Joel are smugglers. Where do the smuggled ammunition and drugs come from?

That's Bill.

Bill owns an entire town, which is full of deadly mechanisms against zombies.

When Joel pushed open a door, he happened to be hit by a trap.

A noose tied his ankles, and a heavy object fell down, hanging upside down in the sky.

To make matters worse, there was a lot of movement and many zombies swarmed in.

Unable to move, it is a target for zombies.

Fortunately I have Ellie by my side.

Joel was hung upside down, constantly killing the attacking zombies with his pistol, and protecting Ellie who took the risk to untie the rope in order to save him.

Ellie was too brave and mature to be like a child. While cursing, she finally cut off the rope and rescued Joel.

After discovering the movement here, Bill finally came and rescued the two people.

However, Bill seemed mentally unstable.

Although they rescued two people from the hordes of zombies, they cuffed Ellie as soon as they were safe and pointed a gun at Joel.

The first step is to check whether the two people are infected.

Facing such an unfriendly Bill, Ellie was also rude.

Knock it down with a stick.

Although there was no more tension later on, Ellie also showed a completely different look in front of Joel.

The left one said "fuck", the right one said "fuck", and even raised the middle finger rudely.

All kinds of bad words came out of his mouth.

Xiaobai looked a little want to laugh.

"Although, it fits the image of Ellie's character. I just hope that my daughter won't be like this when she grows up."

"And, have you noticed? In the beginning, Joel treated Ellie without emotion."

"After we got along for a while, we called him kid."

"Now it's a name again, Ellie."

[Yes, the atmosphere has obviously relaxed.]

[If a loli saves my life, let alone call me by name, I will just kneel down and kowtow and hug my thigh]

[Battle girl, really good at fighting]

But Joel doesn't quite trust Ellie yet and refuses her request for a gun.

Bill's mental state was unstable, but he still agreed to take action.

He took Ellie and Joel across a large area, gave Joel a lot of supplies, and found a car.

After some life and death.

The two officially separated.

I don’t know when we will meet again.

It was a long journey, crossing half of the country.

Along the way, the relationship between Ellie and Joel continues to grow closer.

Outside the walls, Ellie also found many things that interest her age group, such as comic books.

I would be so excited about reading it that I would not sleep. I would chat with Joel while driving about the content of the comics, and would also complain about the damn broken chapters.

It turned out that Ellie had taken out a lot of things from Bill's collection, even tapes and adult magazines.

While she was impressed by the things she had never seen before, she was also very curious.

Why were some pages stuck together?

When Joel was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain, Ellie laughed.

"I'm just joking with you, don't be nervous."

The two people who were not related by blood were like a real father and daughter on this road.

I don't know how long it took.

The two came to a new city, Pittsburgh.

But it was not peaceful here. There were bandits who pretended to be injured to rob houses.

Defeat the enemy, but the car was also scrapped.

The two had to embark on the journey again.

On the way, Ellie got a joke book from somewhere and told Joel some cold jokes from time to time to dilute the tension brought by the battle.

Most of the enemies in Pittsburgh are humans.

It was very different from the previous fighting style.

The enemy is not just a target standing there, they will communicate, cooperate, outflank, and go around.

She would be afraid because of the unfavorable situation, would temporarily suppress Joel and shout, and would be sad because of the death of teammates.

She is not like an NPC, but a living person.

During the journey.

Joel and Ellie's cooperation is becoming more and more skilled, and they trust each other more and more.

At this time, Ellie is no longer a commodity.

She is Joel's friend, comrade-in-arms, and partner.

Or, a daughter.

In a battle.

Joel was ambushed and pushed into the water, and his pistol fell into the mud.

He wanted to get it, but he couldn't.

The liquid rushed into his mouth and nose, making him unable to fight back.

But a small hand picked up the pistol, pointed it at the enemy, and shot without hesitation.

The blood mist exploded, and the enemy died tragically on the spot.

This is the third time Ellie has saved Joel.

But Joel still blamed Ellie for not hiding, and was unwilling to let Ellie take the gun.

Ellie was very dissatisfied and felt that Joel should at least say thank you.

Joel's eyes were a little complicated, and he just said, "It's time to go."

Xiao Bai sighed and said faintly, "If it were my daughter, she could hold a pen and write, she could hold a scalpel to treat diseases and save lives, and she could hold chalk to teach people. But I won't let her hold a weapon."

[This kind of undercurrent of emotion is really like two living people]

[I have a hunch that this is not the last time Ellie saves Joel]

[Every emotional turning point is really supplemented by a CG]

This opportunity will come soon.

There are a lot of enemies on the way out.

Joel must fight his way out.

Here, he picked up a sniper rifle, and Joel gave it to Ellie, who had only played with a BB gun, without hesitation, and taught her how to use it.

Joel finally figured it out and entrusted his life and his back to this girl.

Before he was about to fight to the death, Joel turned around and looked at Ellie.

"I know that at that time, either he will die or I will die."

Although he didn't say those two words.

But Ellie still said to his back: "You're welcome."

During the battle.

Whenever Joel needed help, Ellie's support would always come at the first time.

After escaping, the two met a pair of black brothers and traveled together for a short time.

Along the way, the four helped each other move forward.

Joel even took the time to help Ellie find some comic books.

Ellie also talked and laughed with the younger brother among the brothers, like a friend.

At night.

Just when they were about to escape from Pittsburgh, an accident occurred.

Joel lifted the black brother and Ellie to a height that one person could not climb, but half of the ladder was damaged.

Joel couldn't go up.

Behind him, there were surging soldiers.

At such a moment, the black brother left Joel and ran away without hesitation.

But Ellie jumped down without hesitation.

No matter how dangerous it was, the two had to overcome the difficulties together and never leave the other person behind.

Fortunately, the two successfully jumped into the river and escaped.

When he woke up again, he met the black brother again.

Joel was furious and wanted to kill his brother Henry.

"You had a chance to escape, and you did. But if I come back to save you, I will have to risk my brother's life. If it were you, would you come back to save us?"

Joel knew he wouldn't.

He let the two brothers go to repay them for saving people from the river.

They worked together again.

After an adventure, they saved each other several times, and they finally gained each other's trust.

But his younger brother Sam was bitten.

He turned into a zombie and attacked Ellie.

Joel wanted to draw his gun and design it at the first time, but Henry's first reaction was to shoot Joel.

After repeatedly confirming that it was no longer his naughty and cute brother, he had to shoot his brother himself and send his brother off.

He had tears in his eyes and was emotionally broken.

He was about to usher in a stable life, but he would never see it again.

So, Henry committed suicide.

Xiaobai stared at everything in front of him blankly.

"This pair of brothers are neither good nor bad. They are just ordinary people in the end times. I cannot accept their behavior, but I understand it."

[I cannot like these brothers, but if I were Henry, I would probably do the same thing]

[Hey, to be honest, if I were Henry, I would also sell out Joel and Ellie and run away]

[Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as straw dogs]

This journey is very long.

It's autumn.

At a gathering point next to a dam, I finally met my brother Tommy, whom I hadn't seen for many years.

But apart from the initial excited hug, the two did not get along well.

Tommy refused to send people to escort Ellie to the laboratory of the Firefly Organization.

Then, the gathering point was attacked and lost a large number of people, making it even more impossible to escort Ellie.

But Tommy promised that he could help Joel escort Ellie himself.

This made Ellie very sad. She thought she and Joel were close comrades-in-arms, but now she was going to be abandoned.

The two quarreled again.

Joel felt that Tommy was more familiar with this place and Tommy was a better choice for escort.

"Don't talk nonsense. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will die like Sam? I am immune to the virus and I can take care of myself!"

"How many times have we escaped death? It's better for you to be with Tommy!"

After venting his emotions, Joel turned his back, his face full of hesitation.

Ellie had seen through Joel's heart a long time ago. He was afraid that he could not protect the second "daughter".

"You know, I'm not her"

"Ellie! Don't talk about this."

"I'm sorry, but Joel, I've lost my loved ones too. The people I cared about either died or left me. Everyone - except you, you bastard!"

With tears in her eyes, Ellie pushed Joel hard.

"Stop lying to me about who I'm safer with! Because the truth is that I'm scared."

Can Old Joe really let it go?

A long time passed.

Now no one can let go of the other.

There were two people when they came here, and there were still two people when they left.

Another long time passed.

The two came to their destination, the university laboratory.

But there was no trace of Firefly here, and the building was already empty.

But there were new clues.

St. Mary's Hospital.

When they were about to rush to the new destination, many scavengers came to the university to loot.

The two sides fought without saying a word.

Like countless times, he killed enemies one after another with his superb shooting skills.

But Joel fell from a tall building during the fight and was pierced in the abdomen by a steel bar.

It was not a fatal injury, but in this doomsday, it was just a matter of time.

This means that Joel can't fight, can't get food, and completely loses the ability to work and move.

He walked unsteadily and his eyes were blurred.

Joel has never been so weak.

Now, it's Ellie's turn to save Joel, and she doesn't intend to give up this father-like man.

Along the way, the little girl became an executioner and killed everyone who might threaten Joel.

The thin body took on a huge responsibility.

Put Joel in a safe place.

It's time to control the second protagonist Ellie.

Alone, looking for medicine, food, and bullets.

Not only that, but also fighting zombies and scavengers, with life hanging by a thread.

Ellie sometimes assassinates, sometimes designs traps, and sometimes induces zombies to kill people with borrowed knives.

Mature doesn't look like a child.

Finally, I got the medicine and the needle and thread for suturing. Even though I was shaking with fear, I still helped Joel sew up the wound.

Then, I tied Joel to the stretcher behind the horse and dragged him.

When I walked out of the broken house, it was snowing heavily outside.

Winter has come.

I don’t know how long it has been.

Ellie, who appeared again, has matured a lot, and her face is no longer childish.

Moreover, I met a man named David. After going through some adventures, I just established a little trust, and then I learned that David was actually the leader of the group that attacked Joel.

However, David seemed to be a copper smelter.

With his identity exposed, he gave Ellie some life-saving antibiotics.

The next morning.

In order to avenge Joel’s murder, David and his men actually tracked him down.

In order to protect Joel, Ellie decided to lead the enemy away alone.

In a villa, Ellie fought a desperate battle.

Even though she killed countless enemies alone, she was eventually captured and fell into the hands of that pervert.

When she woke up again, she was imprisoned in a prison.

The people outside were dismembering some meat.

A closer look revealed that it was human flesh.

David threatened the team and said that he needed to give an explanation and a reason to keep Ellie.

Otherwise, Ellie would be made into Ellie sauce.

He stroked Ellie's hand through the fence.

Ellie's expression softened a little and she took her hand up.

Looking at David's disgusting smile.

Ellie suddenly exerted force and broke David's fingers directly through the prison fence, then grabbed the key.

But, she failed.

What awaits Ellie is the execution tomorrow morning.

Xiaobai smiled and commented: "Okay, this little pepper's personality fits Ellie's personality. Come and learn the personality! All right! Old Joe, your daughter is in danger. Wake up!"

As soon as the voice fell, on the other side.

With antibiotics, Joel finally woke up.

Although the injury has not healed yet, he can move.

Not far from the house, he encountered the enemy.

Even though his wounds had not healed, he easily subdued the two men.

Never underestimate a father whose daughter is in danger.

At this time, Joel was extremely violent.

Using all cruel means, he tortured the two people who took Ellie away.

"That, that girl, she is still alive, she is David's new pet"

[Pet? ? Old Deng, you are dead]

[Kill him! ! ]

[Don't leave any trouble, cut the grass and root it out! ]

Joel never lets the audience down.

One broke his neck, and the other smashed his head with an iron rod.

Early morning.

It was time for the execution.

The two took Ellie out of the prison.

But that was Ellie, not a princess in an ivory tower.

Without hesitation, he bit off the finger of a man named James.

But he still couldn't beat the two men and was tied to the chopping board.

Xiaobai's heart was lifted.

"Damn it. Did I miss any plot? How can this be reversed? No, don't be so kind and let it go but not let it go. Ellie can't beat a little girl?"

Seven days later, PTSD occurred.

Just when the butcher knife was about to chop down.

Ellie suddenly shouted, "I'm infected!!"

David looked unconvinced and said mockingly, "Really?"

"Really, so you're also infected. There's a wound on my arm!"

David stuck the butcher knife on the chopping board and brushed Ellie's sleeve.

On it, there was a horrible tooth mark and signs of fungal reproduction.

The two were stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiaobai shouted excitedly, "Damn, smart Ellie! Yes, how could I forget this? This is Ellie's most powerful golden finger!"

James looked terrified: "What, what is this?"

David: "This is impossible, if it's true, she has mutated!"

Just as the two were arguing.

Ellie on the chopping board suddenly jumped up.

She pulled up the blade on the chopping board without hesitation and cut off James' neck.

Instantly, blood was like a fountain.

The action was too fast, and even when David drew his gun, Ellie had already escaped.

Escaped a large number of pursuers and started a battle with the perverted David in the restaurant.

There are tables and chairs everywhere, which is exactly where the short Ellie can perform.

The two sides are like hunters and prey, dealing with each other in the closed, burning restaurant.

Ellie stabbed David with a small switchblade she picked up, but she was still defeated and was strangled by the neck, in danger.

At this moment, she touched the machete under the seat and chopped at David without hesitation.

In an instant, blood splashed, and the offensive and defensive situation reversed.

Seizing the opportunity, Ellie was like crazy, holding a huge machete and chopped at David frantically.

Until the blood and flesh were blurred.

At this time, Joel finally came.

Outdoors, he killed all of David's men and hugged the frightened Ellie from behind.

In his arms, Ellie finally cried out like a little girl, afraid of grievances, and was not as strong as when she took care of the seriously injured Joel.

After all, she is still a child.

Xiaobai felt his eyes were hot, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I still like to watch this kind of warm plot. I apologize to The Last of Us. I once suspected that Naughty Cat would also feed shit. I declare that even if the game ends like this, this game is still a classic."

[A strong and determined father, and a self-reliant daughter, who wouldn't like it]

[Damn, I can guess every plot, but I can't help but be moved]

[Two souls redeeming each other in the doomsday]

[A father who lost his daughter, and an orphan who has never had a family, too sad, too warm]

Xiaobai glanced outside.

At this time, it was noon.

A night had passed.

But he didn't want to go off the air at all, and couldn't wait to see the ending.

Spring went and autumn came, and spring came again.

The snow melted, the earth was green again, and new buds emerged on the branches.

After so much, Joel talked more.

He even took the initiative to talk about everything that had happened, and promised to teach Ellie to play the guitar when it was over.

However, as they got closer and closer to their destination, Ellie was a little absent-minded.

The hospital was getting closer and closer.

On the second floor, the two also encountered a giraffe that stretched its neck to eat leaves.

Joel was like a father taking his daughter to the zoo, calling Ellie over.

Ellie tried to touch the giraffe's neck, and it didn't run away, but accepted it happily.

Watching the giraffe walk freely beside the pool.

A lively scene.

We were about to reach the hospital.

Joel was a little reluctant, and his mood was very complicated.

"We don't have to do this, you know, right? We can go back to Tommy. Don't lie in this muddy water anymore."

"After going through so much and doing so many things, there can't be no result."

Xiaobai nodded and said, "I can't bear it either. Ellie is no longer a commodity."

Along the way, Ellie knew Joel's mood.

She kept telling jokes and comforting him at the same time.

In the last difficult journey.

In order to save Joel who was trapped underwater, Ellie resolutely went into the water regardless of her own safety.

You know, Ellie is a landlubber.

Joel escaped and took Ellie to the shore.

Looking at Ellie lying there motionless and without breathing, and even wondering whether she was dead or alive.

Joel panicked.

He was afraid of losing Ellie, and losing another daughter.

"No, no, don't wake up, please. Please!!"

He kept doing CPR, trying to wake Ellie up.

He even ignored the soldier who was walking towards him with a gun and pointed the gun at his head.

"Put your hands up!!"

"She, he's not breathing."

Joel ignored him.

He continued to rescue.

"I said, put your hands up!"

"Hold on, hold on to Ellie!!"

The soldier slowly approached.

He suddenly smashed down with the butt of the gun, and the world entered a dark place.
