Chapter 388 Father and Daughter
The Firefly Organization has its own isolation area, which contains research institutes and doctors.

Ellie is hope for vaccine research.

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

Joel doesn't believe such nonsense and doesn't want to complete this mission as his future is full of dangers.

But Tess wanted to persist.

Escaped from the soldiers' pursuit and had a short supply.

Xiaobai found another surprise.

When modifying a weapon at a workbench.

There is a whole set of animations.

To add a scope to a weapon, you actually take the scope and install it according to the process of adding accessories in real life.

Cleaning a weapon involves applying gun oil to the weapon and wiping off any residue in the barrel.

[I don’t know how to praise anymore, my mouth is floating with praise]

【It's all done if it's awesome】

Next destination, the Empire State Building.

It wasn't safe along the way.

The human enemies we encounter are becoming more and more well-equipped, and the zombies we encounter are becoming more and more terrifying.

There are even sound followers, monsters with thick skin, strong aggressiveness, and extremely fast movements.

The goal is about to be reached.

But unfortunately.

All the Firefly soldiers who were responsible for connecting with several people along the way were killed.

Naturally, I don’t know where the isolation area of ​​Firefly is.

Joel and Tess have a violent argument.

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

But Tess continued regardless.

It turned out that Tess was infected.

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

There is not much time left for her.

To make matters worse, soldiers came searching for them.

Tess decided to stay and hold back 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, oops]

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

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

I managed to escape with great difficulty.

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

Just words like these made Joel, a man who had experienced "loss" all his life, even angrier.

"Listen carefully, regarding the arrangements to come. You are never allowed to mention anything about Tess, ever! Secondly, never talk about your situation with anyone else. Finally, no matter what, you must do as I say! Do you understand?!"

In order to continue the journey, you need to find a car first, and then find Tommy, who used to be in the Firefly organization, to find out the location of the laboratory.

So the next stop is the town of Biel.

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 devices against zombies.

When Joel pushed open a door, he was trapped.

A noose was tied around his ankles, and a heavy object fell down, leaving him hanging upside down in the air.

What's worse, there was a lot of noise and many zombies swarmed in.

If you can't move, you will become a target for zombies.

Fortunately, Ellie was by my side.

Joel was hanging upside down, killing the attacking zombies with his pistol to protect Ellie who risked her life to untie the rope to save him.

Ellie was brave and mature, not like a child. While cursing, she finally cut the rope and rescued Joel.

Noticing the commotion here, Bill finally arrived and rescued the two.

However, Bill's mental state does not seem to be stable.

Although he saved two people from the swarm of zombies, he handcuffed Ellie and pointed a gun at Joel as soon as they were safe.

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

Faced with such an unfriendly Bill, Ellie was not polite at all.

Hit it with a stick.

Although the situation was no longer tense later, Ellie showed a completely different side in front of Joel.

He kept saying "fuck" on the left and "damn" on the right, and rudely raised his middle finger.

All kinds of dirty words came out of his mouth.

Xiaobai wanted to laugh when he saw it.

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

"Besides, did you notice? At the beginning, Joel treated Ellie without emotion."

"After spending some time together, the name changed to little devil."

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

[Yeah, the atmosphere has obviously eased]

[If a lolita saves my life, I will kneel down and kowtow to her, not to mention calling her name.]

[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 not very stable, 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 a life and death experience.

The two officially parted.

I don’t know when we will meet again.

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

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

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

I would get so excited while reading that I wouldn't sleep. I would chat with Joel who was driving about the contents of the comics and complain about the damn out-of-chapter stuff.

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

When I was feeling the things I had never seen before, I was also very curious.

Why some pages are stuck together.

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

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

These two people who are not related by blood are like a real father and daughter on this journey.

I do not know how long it has been.

The two came to a new city, Pittsburgh.

But it is not peaceful here, as there are bandits who pretend to be injured to rob people.

The enemy was defeated, but the car was scrapped.

The two had no choice but to embark on their journey again.

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

Pittsburgh's enemies are overwhelmingly human.

It is very different from the previous fighting style.

The enemies are not just targets standing there, they can communicate, cooperate, outflank, and go around from behind.

He will be frightened when the battle situation is unfavorable, will shout when Joel is temporarily suppressed, and will be sad when his teammates die.

They don’t look like NPCs, but like real people.

On the go.

Joel and Ellie's cooperation becomes more and more skillful, and they trust each other more and more.

At this moment, 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.

I wanted to get it, but I just couldn't.

Liquid rushed into his mouth and nose, making it impossible for him 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 blames Ellie for not hiding, and is unwilling to let Ellie take the gun.

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

There was something complicated in Joel's eyes, and he just said, "It's time to go."

Xiao Bai sighed and said quietly, "If it were my daughter, she could hold a pen to write, a scalpel to heal illnesses, and a piece of chalk to teach. But I would never let her hold a weapon."

[This undercurrent of emotion is like two living people]

[I have a feeling this won't be the last time Ellie saves Joel]

[It's true that every emotional turning point has a CG to supplement it]

That opportunity will come soon.

There are a lot of enemies on the way out.

Joel has to fight his way out.

Here, Joel picked up a sniper rifle and 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 back to this girl.

Before he could 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 those two words were not spoken.

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

While fighting.

Whenever Joel is in need, Ellie's support always comes first.

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

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

Joel even found time to help Ellie find some comic books.

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

night.

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

Joel lifted the black brother and Ellie to a place that was too high for one person to reach, but half of the ladder was damaged.

Joel couldn't get up.

Behind him, there was a surge of soldiers.

At this moment, the black brother left Joel behind and ran away without hesitation.

But Ellie jumped down without hesitation.

No matter how dangerous it is, the two of them will overcome the difficulties together and never abandon the other.

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

When I woke up again, I met the black brothers again.

Joel was furious and wanted to kill his brother Henry.

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

Joel knew he wouldn't.

It was also a way of repaying the two brothers for saving people from the river, so he let them go.

Let’s go together again.

After some adventures and saving each other several times, both sides finally gained each other's trust.

But his younger brother Sam was bitten.

Transformed into a zombie and attacked Ellie.

Joel wanted to draw his gun at the first moment, but Henry's first reaction was to shoot Joel.

After repeatedly confirming that it was no longer his naughty and lovely brother, he had no choice but to shoot his brother himself and send him to death.

He had tears in his eyes and was emotionally broken.

I was about to have a stable life, but I will never see it again.

So Henry committed suicide.

Xiaobai stared blankly at everything in front of him.

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

[I don’t like this brother, but if I were Henry, I would probably do the same thing]

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

[Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs]

This journey is a long one.

Come autumn.

At a gathering point near a dam, I finally met my younger 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 anyone to escort Ellie to the Firefly organization's laboratory.

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

But Tommy promised to help Joel escort Ellie, which made Ellie very sad. She thought she and Joel were close comrades, but now she was abandoned.

The two quarreled again.

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

"Stop talking 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 and Tommy to be together!"

After venting his emotions, Joel turned his back with hesitation on his face.

Ellie had long seen through Joel's heart. He was afraid that he would not be able to protect his second "daughter".

“You know, I’m not her.”

"Ellie! Don't talk about this."

"I'm sorry, but Joel, I've lost people too. People I cared about either died or left me. Everyone—except you, you bastard!"

With tears in her eyes, Ellie pushed Joel hard.

"Stop telling me you're safer with someone! Because the truth is 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 of us when we came here, and there were still two of us when we left.

Another long time passed.

The two arrived at their destination, the university laboratory.

But there is no trace of firefly here, and the place has been deserted for a long time.

But there are new clues.

St. Mary's Hospital.

As they were about to head to their new destination, many scavengers came to plunder the university.

Without saying a word, both sides started fighting.

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

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

It's not a fatal injury, but in this end times, it's just a matter of time.

This meant that Joel was unable to fight, unable to obtain food, and completely lost the ability to work and move.

He walked unsteadily and everything in front of him was blurry.

Joel had never been so weak.

Now, it's Ellie's turn to save Joel, and she has no intention of giving up on this father-like man.

Along the way, the little girl turned into an executioner, shooting anyone who might threaten Joel.

With such a small body, he shoulders a huge responsibility.

Put Joel somewhere safe.

It's time to control the second protagonist, Ellie.

Alone, looking for medicine, food, and bullets.

Not only that, but you also have to fight zombies and scavengers, and your life hangs on a thread.

Ellie sometimes assassinates, sometimes sets traps, and sometimes lures zombies to kill people.

Mature doesn't act like a child.

Finally, he got the medicine and needle and thread, and even though he was trembling with fear, he still helped Joel suture the wound.

Joel was then tied to a stretcher behind a horse and dragged along.

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

Winter is here.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

When Ellie reappeared, she had matured a lot and no longer had the childish look on her face.

Moreover, he met a man named David. After some adventures and establishing a little trust, he found out that David was actually the leader of the group that attacked Joel.

But David seems to be a copper smelting addict.

With his identity revealed, he gives Ellie some life-saving antibiotics.

Early the next morning.

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

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

In a villa, Ellie fights desperately.

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

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

The men outside were chopping up some meat.

Upon closer inspection, it was human flesh.

David used a threatening tone, saying that he needed to give the team an explanation, a reason to keep Ellie.

Otherwise, make Ellie into Ellie sauce.

And touched Ellie's hand through the fence.

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

Look at David's disgusting smile.

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

But, it failed.

What awaits Ellie is execution tomorrow morning.

Xiao Bai commented with a smile: "Okay, this little pepper's personality fits Ellie's character. Come on, learn the character! All right! Old Joe, your daughter is in danger. Wake up!"

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

With antibiotics, Joel finally woke up.

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

Just after walking out of the house a short distance, we encountered the enemy.

Even though his wounds had not healed, he was able to easily subdue the two men.

Never underestimate a father whose daughter is in danger.

Joel was extremely violent at this time.

He used all kinds of cruel means to torture the two people who took Ellie away.

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

[Pet? ? Lao Deng, you are dead]

【Kill him! ! 】

[Don’t leave any troubles behind, cut the grass and eradicate it! ]

Joel never disappoints his audience.

One had his neck broken, the other had his head smashed with an iron rod.

early morning.

The time for execution has come.

The two men took Ellie out of prison.

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

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

But he was no match for the two men and was tied to the chopping board.

Xiaobai's heart was lifted.

"Oh my god. Did I miss any plot points? How can this be reversed? No, don't be so kind as to let her go all of a sudden. Can't Ellie, a little girl, beat him?"

PTSD set in seven days later.

Just as the butcher's knife was about to chop down.

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

David looked unconvinced and said mockingly, "Really?"

"Really? So, you're infected too. There's a wound, right on my arm!"

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

On it, there was a horrific tooth mark and signs of fungal growth.

The two were stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai shouted excitedly: "Damn, you are so smart, Ellie! Yes, why did I forget this? This is Ellie's most powerful cheat code!"

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

David: "That's impossible. If it's true, she has mutated!"

While the two were arguing.

Ellie on the chopping board suddenly jumped up.

Without hesitation, he pulled up the blade on the chopping board and cut off James' neck.

In an instant, blood gushed out like a fountain.

It was so fast that even when David drew his gun, Ellie had already escaped.

After escaping from a large number of pursuers, he 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 were like hunter and prey, maneuvering in the closed, burning restaurant.

Ellie used a small switchblade she picked up to stab David, leaving a bloody hole, but she was still no match for him and was strangled by the neck, in critical condition.

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

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

Taking advantage of the victory, Ellie went crazy, holding a huge machete and slashing at David frantically.

Until it's bloody.

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 and wronged. She was not as strong as she was when she was taking care of the seriously injured Joel.

Still a child after all.

Xiaobai felt his eyes getting hot, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

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

[Who wouldn’t like a strong and determined father and a self-reliant and strong daughter?]

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

[Two souls redeeming each other at the end of the world]

[The father who lost his daughter, and the orphan who never had a family, too cruel, but also too tender]

Xiaobai glanced outside.

By this time, it was already noon.

A night has passed.

But he didn't want to end the show at all and couldn't wait to see the ending.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and spring comes again.

The snow melted, the earth turned green again, and new buds sprouted on the branches.

After going through so much, Joel became more talkative.

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

However, as they got closer to their destination, Ellie became a little distracted.

The hospital is getting closer.

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

Joel beckoned Ellie over like a father taking his daughter to the zoo.

Ellie tentatively touched the giraffe's neck, and it didn't run away, but accepted it with pleasure.

Watch giraffes roam freely around the water pool.

A vibrant scene.

I'm going to the hospital soon.

Joel was a little reluctant and had mixed feelings.

"We don't have to do this, you know that, right? We can just go back to Tommy. Not get stuck in this mess."

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

Xiao Bai nodded and said, "I wouldn't be willing to give her up either. Ellie is no longer a commodity."

Along the way, Ellie knew Joel's mood.

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

On the last difficult journey.

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

You know, Ellie is a landlubber.

Joel escaped and brought Ellie ashore.

Looking at Ellie lying there motionless, not breathing, and not even knowing whether she was alive or dead.

Joel panicked.

He was afraid of losing Ellie, losing another daughter.

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

I kept performing CPR, trying to wake Ellie up.

He even didn't bother to hold his gun and walked towards the soldier with the gun pointed at his head.

"Put your hands up!!"

"S-He's not breathing."

Joel ignored it.

Continue to rescue.

"I said, put your hands up!"

"Hold on, hold on Ellie!!"

The soldier approached slowly.

The butt of a gun suddenly came down, and the world fell into darkness.
