"If it's true, Joel, you know what that will mean. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Tess said.

"Do you need me to remind you what's out there?" Joel looked solemn.

"I know, we all know." Tess said.

"Vote," Tang Tu said, "I believe Ellie, what about you?" ”

“... I would like to believe. Tess said.

Joel sighed, "Okay, two-on-one, listen to you." ”

So, Tang Tu and the four of them continued to move forward, and Tess walked in the front.

"This way, if we walk through the downtown area, we can get to the Capitol before sunrise." Tess said.

"I hope so," muttered Joel.

From this position, you can already see the Capitol, the former high-rise building, now leaning against the building next to it half-diagonally, and the two skyscrapers are leaning against each other to support each other so that they have not fallen.

Not long after, the four of them arrived at the ruins of the park near the Capitol, which was once a municipal park but now a ruin, littered with steel and concrete blocks that had crumbled after the highway collapsed.

"What the hell is going on here?" Ellie asked, surprised.

"The government army bombed the area near the quarantine area, hoping to kill as many infected people as possible. It worked, but it didn't last long. Tess explained.

Suddenly, what seemed to be a flash of lightning pierced the night sky, startling the four of them.

"Oh, what's that?" Ellie asked.

"Tess," Joel said with a solemn expression, "did you hear that?" ”

"Well, it sounds like it's far away," said Tess. It doesn't seem like it's as simple as lightning.

"Damn." Joel muttered.

Ellie asked curiously, "Are we safe?" ”

"For now, come on." Tess said.

There were no Zhengfu troops here, not even patrolling guards, and the four of them ran.

The Capitol looks very close, but it is still a bit far to walk, mainly because the roads in the city have been destroyed, many collapses cannot be passed, and Tang Tu and the four can only make a detour.

"This is the city?" Ellie asked.

"It was, and now it's a wilderness." Tess said.

On the way, Tang Tu and the four found many corpses of Zhengfu soldiers, these dead soldiers were well-equipped but killed, and they had just died.

"He died a terrible death." Ellie said.

"yes, there's probably a zombie roaming around, so let's hurry up." Tess said.

"Here are the marching records, I'll take a look... These guys died while waiting for rescue, and many of them came, but they were all wiped out by zombies. Joel said.

"Wait, there's a zombie corpse here." Tang Tu found a strange looking zombie corpse near the door, and his face was distorted entirely.

"Oh no, this is the Voice Follower, the evolved zombie." Joel's face was heavy.

"How did his face become like this?" Ellie asked.

"It's going to be like this after many years of infection." Tess said.

"He doesn't seem to have eyes?" Ellie asked.

"They use their voices to discern direction, which is why they are called voice followers," says Tess, "like bats." If you hear a 'tick' sound, hide it, that's how they find you. ”

It's sonar, sound scanning radar.

"The whole building feels like it's going to collapse," Joel said.

Inevitably, they only encountered a few followers along the way. Fortunately, they appeared only one by one, not in groups, and did not pose a threat to the four Tang Tu.

The Followers are very fast, and it is difficult to survive if they are mostly surrounded.

Walking through a jungle of the ruins of high-rise buildings, they came to the street near the Capitol. The streets are much safer than inside the building.

In order to lighten the mood, Tess kept talking to Ellie, so that the little girl would not be too nervous and have an accident.

"How did you get bitten? You must have run somewhere you shouldn't go, and you shouldn't run into an infected person in quarantine. ”

“... I snuck out, I would have been in an army boarding school. ”

"You sneaked out?"

"Exploring the city, I was infected while I was in the mall."

"The mall is absolutely off-limits, how did you get in?"

"I... There's my way. Anyway, one of the infected people bit me, and that's it. ”

"Well, you were with Marlene when you were bitten?"

"No, I'll go to her for help later."

"I know her too well, she's going to let you go..."

"She almost shot... Hopefully she's okay, she looked a little hurt before. ”

"Don't worry, she'll be fine."

While speaking, Tang Tu and the four entered a building again. It was very dimly lit, and Ellie broke a piece of porcelain shortly after entering.

"What is this place, why doesn't there even have a window?" Ellie complained.

"This is the old museum, and there are some things here that are hundreds of years old. The porcelain you broke may be worth a fortune. Tess said.

"Really..."

After passing through a few more buildings, Tang Tu and the four of them came to the street again.

It was already starting to dawn, and they were getting closer and closer to the Capitol.

Walking on the city streets after the Baozi crisis, Tang Tu had a very wonderful feeling, and the scenery around him, you can imagine their former glory, and the appearance of the current ruins is very different.

Finally arriving at the Capitol, Joel pushed open the door and everyone walked inside.

Inside, there was a corpse in the hall, the corpse was very fresh, and the time of death was no more than an hour at most. This should be the person in charge of the fireflies who connect with them.

"No, no, no," Tess pounced on the dead man, rummaging through it.

"Tess, what are you looking for?" Joel shrugged.

"Maybe they have a map or something that lets us know where they're going." Tess said.

"Where are we going to send her?" Joel asked dissatisfied.

"Until it is delivered." Tess said.

Tess couldn't find anything, so she had to ask Ellie, "Do you know where Firefly's lab is?" ”

"Marlene didn't tell me," Ellie spread her hands helplessly, "she only mentioned that it was somewhere to the west. ”

Joel looked impatient, "What the hell are we still doing here?" That's not what we're supposed to do. ”

"How much do you know about us? How much do you know about me? Tess asked Joel a little angrily.

"I know you're not going to do such a stupid thing."

"Really? We're the ones who survive, Joel, and we've always been. ”

"No, we're desperate to survive."

"This is our chance."

"It's over, Tess. We've tried, let's go home. (To be continued.) )
