Chapter 821: Ellie, who is proficient in the skill of striking first
There is no friendship between each other and each other to tide over the difficulties as imagined, Joel is a little reticent after Tess's death, and Ellie seems to be afraid of something, and she keeps looking for topics along the way in the hope of having something in common with Joel, but Joel doesn't pay attention to Ellie.
Ye Tao could imagine that even though Joel still looked cold on the surface, it still hit him a lot because of Tess's death.
In the past 20 years since the apocalypse, Joel and Tess definitely have a deep relationship, otherwise Joel would not have accepted Tess's last wish to escort Ellie to the Firefly base.
After leaving Boston, Joel and the others had to look for Tommy, but before they could do that they needed a car, as it would have been too difficult to get through the trek on foot.
And they are going to Lincoln Town next to find a man named Bill, who owes Joel a big favor, a favor that is so big that he has to help him even in this zombie-infested apocalypse.
Most of the time, Joel is still very cold to Ellie, but he will also talk to her for a word or two.
At the same time, Ellie's performance also made Ye Tao feel some emotion.
The emotion that occurs when Ellie sees the reindeer in the woods, as well as the town's street record store and the Blade Angel game console in the arcade hall, make Ellie think of a good friend of hers in the past.
Joel then gets caught upside down by a trap as he enters Bill's warehouse, and a loud noise attracts the infected around him.
This is a vicious battle, and the upside-down perspective makes Ye Tao feel a little uncomfortable, but it is more of a sense of tension.
Unable to move, without cover, and surrounded by infected people who wanted his life, he was even more nervous than he had been in front of a group of followers.
But fortunately, Bill arrived in time to save Joel.
After a chase, Joel and Ellie arrive at Bill's hideout, but are restrained by Bill to check if they have been bitten by an infected person.
As on the previous rainy night, Ellie took the lead again and struck Bill on the arm with a hose.
Looking at Ellie who was holding a water hose in his hand, Ye Tao felt that he had also discovered one of Ellie's advantages, and he was very decisive at first.
Although it was because Ellie was worried that she would be infected, but before this against the Provisional Government Army, and now against Bill, it can be said that Ellie's first move is very brilliant.
After a short negotiation, Bill immediately criticized Joel, who seemed to have grown accustomed to Bill's silence, but Ellie next to him was a little bit.
Shit! Fack!
Skillful swear words burst out of Ellie's mouth, this is not the first time Ellie has turned into a Zaun girl, but compared to before, Ellie obviously said more swear words this time than before.
After a short negotiation, Bill agrees to get Joel a car, and during this journey, a new monster appears.
The infected person named Big Mac, but compared to the Big Mac infected in the third stage, Ye Tao felt that it was easier to deal with than the voice follower.
Because its movements are too slow, and if there is a Molotov cocktail in his hand, then this big guy can easily defeat it casually, because it is weak fire.
However, the voice follower's movements are sensitive and often appear several, which can be said to be much more difficult than the Big Mac.
After turning around twice and figuring out the Big Mac's attack routine, Ye Tao easily killed this guy.
But then, after Joel and the others have worked so hard to reach their destination, Bill discovers that his things are missing.
During this period, Joel, who was not in a very beautiful mood, had a heated argument with Bill, during which Bill mentioned Tess, and Joel was instantly enraged when he heard Tess's name, and just when the two sides were arguing, Bill suddenly quieted down.
He saw a corpse hanging from the ceiling, and he immediately recognized it as his good friend Frank, who had fought side by side, and Bill, who had been arrogant, had tears in his eyes and his voice suddenly became choked.
Joel also fell silent.
Not only Joel in the game, but Ye Tao, who was playing the game, also thought of someone in his mind at this moment.
Tess, who was also infected before and then resolutely died.
Frank in front of him, after knowing that he was infected, chose to understand himself like Tess.
And then in the house, Ye Tao also controlled Joel to find a suicide note, which Frank left behind.
It says he's repaired the battery, fed up with Bill's solipsism and wants to get out of here alone, even though he knows it might be more dangerous to leave, but he decides to do it because he's had enough of Bill.
After handing over the suicide note to Bill, Ye Tao clearly saw Bill, who was leaning on the front of the car, tearing Frank's suicide note into a ball with a trembling hand and throwing it to the ground, and then 'scolding' in a choked voice: "This is how you feel?" you, Frank. you idiot. ”
After this, Bill helps Joel to start the car successfully, and when Joel and the others come to a bridge, Bill chooses to say goodbye to Joel and reminds Joel that there is not much gas in the car.
An uncle with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.
Looking at Bill's departing back, Ye Tao's impression of Bill in his heart has changed a little.
At the beginning, he indiscriminately handcuffed Ellie, and then subdued Joel with a gun, coupled with all kinds of bad remarks halfway, Ye Tao didn't really like the character of Bill very much at first.
But after seeing Frank's body, Bill showed weakness in his heart, and the scene just now, the last sentence 'Flattened, get out of my town.'
Although it is not good, it makes Ye Tao feel speechless.
It's even, and the big favor that I owed Joel at the beginning is even.
But this is the end of the world, and it is the end of the peace, 20 years later.
In such an environment, Bill still insisted on risking his life to repay Joel's favor.
In the end, Bill doesn't choose to leave Joel, even though his companion Frank is dead.
I hope you can live well.
Looking at Bill's back from Joel's perspective, Ye Tao blessed in his heart.
At this moment, he even forgot that he was playing a game, and instead immersed himself in the game's story.
Saying goodbye to Bill and driving the truck down the highway, Joel also has a small interaction with Ellie.
It can be seen that Joel's relationship with Ellie has changed.
For example, at the beginning, Joel didn't pay much attention to Ellie's words, but now after a period of adventure, Joel will have some conversations with Ellie normally, and even after Ellie picks up the adult gay magazine from Joel's room, Joel will specifically warn her that this is not what she should read.
The silent change in this relationship made Ye Tao look forward to the next plot.
