Before Sarah's death, Ye Tao felt uncomfortable for a moment, but at the same time, he was more curious about the plot later.

Because it's clear that in the game's trailer, Joel is not alone, he has another little girl by his side.

He had wondered when he would meet the little girl.

But he didn't expect to meet the little girl in this situation, a little girl named Ellie.

When they opened the door, Ellie, a little girl hidden in the house, rushed out with a switchblade in her hand.

However, it is clear that she is no match for Joel and Tess, and is easily stopped, and then Marlene and Ellie inform Joel and Tates of their identities, which also discusses Uncle Tommy, who saved Joel in the first place.

From the picture, Ye Tao learned that Uncle Tommy was once also a member of the Firefly Organization, but after that, he also left the Firefly Organization.

Joel hasn't decided what to do next, but Tess has already decided to escort Ellie.

After all, this is no different from the usual smuggling without smuggling, except that this time it has become a living cargo.

Of course, before that, they need to determine the payment of Fireflies, the batch of arms that belong to them.

Tess follows Marlene to confirm the cargo, while Joel takes Ellie to their secret stronghold.

During this period, Joel also had some interactions with Ellie, allowing Ye Tao to learn something about Ellie's life experience, she was born in a post-apocalyptic world, and she had never seen human civilization before the apocalypse.

However, Joel is basically too lazy to pay attention to Ellie, and he doesn't say much.

After arriving at the agreed place, Joel prepares to pass the time by sleeping and waiting for Tess to return.

However, during this period, through Ellie's mouth, Ye Tao noticed a detail.

Joel still wears the watch Sarah gave Joel to his hand, even though its surface is broken.

Leaning on the sofa, Joel soon fell asleep, and at the same time, Ye Tao noticed that the light outside the window began to slowly change, and finally fell into darkness.

Apparently it was already dark.

In the VR version of the game, most of the cutscenes are in this time-blurring approach, rather than the usual black screen.

If it is projected on a monitor, it will naturally not be much of a disobedience, but in an immersive experience like VR, this kind of sudden black screen like blindness is not suitable.

In other words, this method of scene transformation is not suitable for frequent occurrence.

When Joel woke up, Tess had finally returned, and Tess couldn't contain joy on her face as she pushed the door in.

Tess tells Joel that she has seen more weapons in Marlene than she could have imagined, and that she thinks they can do it, and that it is a sure deal.

The rest of the story is not so thrilling, through the secret door in the room, the three of them go through a simple elevator to the damp and dark underground, this is an artificially dug tunnel, low and low, the entrance is only supported by thick wood, but this tunnel is the last way for smugglers like them to the outside world.

Once you're out of here, it's no longer a quarantine zone, there's no high grid walls, but there's also no food or water available, ration cards are useless, and there's no safe place for the infected, just the infected and the countless people who want your life.

But the bad happened, and while leaving the tunnel to reach the truck, they were spotted and subdued by two soldiers.

Despite the fact that today was the most unlikely rainy day for an ambush, they forgot a fatal factor, the government forces had just finished a vicious battle with the Fireflies, and the vigilance had been strengthened.

Tess and Joel, who were kneeling on the ground, were tested by the soldiers for infection, but when it was Ellie's turn, she began to get nervous, and then took the lead while the soldiers put the infection monitor on her neck.

The switchblade in his hand slammed into the soldier's thigh, and the latter screamed in pain, and no one could have imagined that a little girl would attack the soldier with a gun at this time.

Ellie immediately went to snatch the other party's gun, but her strength was too small, and she was thrown away.

Just before the soldiers were ready to shoot, Joel and Tess seized the opportunity to attack the soldiers.

'Oh, shit! ’

Ellie looked a little frightened, her eyes were like a fawn that had just escaped from the lion's mouth, and she sat down against the wooden box.

I thought they were just going to tie us up. Ellie looked at Joel and Tess as if to explain something.

And Ye Tao's whole person was already shocked, although the situation just now was very dangerous, Ye Tao believed that Joel, as the protagonist of the game, should not be finished here, and there would definitely be some action later.

But what he never expected was that it would be a little girl like Ellie who took the lead.

However, thinking of Ellie's expression just now, another picture appeared in Ye Tao's head.

The execution of an infected person hidden in a building seen in the quarantine area earlier.

And in the game, Joel and Tess also become suspicious of Ellie, obviously for old smugglers like Joel and Tess, her behavior just now can be said to be very abnormal, no one will use a knife against a soldier with a gun to his head for no reason, unless he is completely sure that he can succeed, or he is simply crazy, and there is another secret hidden, a secret that may make the soldier kill her in the next second.

Tess came to the side and picked up the detector on the ground, which was displayed on the green LCD screen - infected!

Ellie, she's an infected.

But the miraculous thing is that she has been bitten for three weeks, but it still hasn't spread or worsened.

Joel and Tess were a little incredulous at Ellie's words, the end had been going on for 20 years, but they had never heard of such a thing.

Tess, who was pointing a gun at Ellie, hesitated to shoot an infected person, which was not something that the Provisional Government Army would do.

Liberate people, make one less infected person in this world, every sane person will do it.

But the question is, what if what Ellie said is true?

After all, Marlene really had no reason to frame them, and what good would it do her to smuggle a girl who was about to become infected to the Capitol?

However, the arrival of reinforcements in the next step can only make Joel and them put aside this problem for the time being, and think about how to survive first.

And Ye Tao, who has VR facilities, has almost understood the plot.

Looking at it this way, it is clear that Ellie's words should be true.

The next plot should be the story of Joel and Tess escorting Ellie to the Firefly base, and then going through a series of difficulties and dangers to save all mankind.

Ye Tao thought so in his heart.

Moreover, not only Ye Tao, but also some other players and industry insiders who pay attention to the game "The Last of Us" of Nebula Games have such an idea when they play this plot.
