The first thing you do when you take down the spy ship is to prepare for the move.

There are many benefits to living on a boat. The sea breeze blows, the air is fresh, the sun is shining, and you can also fish. It's much better than hiding in an abandoned high-rise. Hiding in Tibet all day long, and having to cover the windows with a black cloth to make a fire, is really uncomfortable.

Joel is elated, but Tommy is preoccupied.

Back at the makeshift base, after the code, Maria came and opened the door.

Maria is the blonde that Tommy had befriended earlier. It's not pretty, but it's very capable, and because of the perennial scavenging in the infected area, he's strong and strong, and his marksmanship is also very good.

Because of this, with her watching Sarah in the stronghold, Joel is relieved to go out to run errands.

As soon as the door opened, Joel walked in happily. "Sarah," he said, "we have a new home!" The place above is so big that everyone can have their own room. You can also fish and swim...... Do whatever you want. ”

Sarah, however, doesn't seem too happy. "Daddy," she said, "Aunt Mary has something to say to you. ”

Joel was stunned.

Nan Xiao immediately noticed that Maria's face was unnatural, and her hand was always leaning on the holster on her waist, intentionally or unintentionally. What does she want to do? Yin us? She's Tommy's wife, so it's not right......

The atmosphere was solemn for a moment, like the silence before a storm.

In the end, it was Tommy who stood up and spoke. "Joel," he said, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving." ”

"You're leaving?" Joel looked at him in surprise, "Where are you going?" You are my brother, and this is your home. ”

Tommy's expression was a little guilty, but he was also insistent. "I'm sorry," he said, "and I talked to Maria about the Fed's plan for the vaults, and she didn't support it, thinking we were going to die." Traveling to the distant Himalayas in search of the lost city of Shangri-La, too, she thought it was mad and would surely die. Joel, I love you and Sarah, but I have to respect Maria's opinion. She already has a baby, I ...... I have to take on my responsibilities as a husband and a father. ”

"So, you're trying to quit?" Joel asked.

In the face of Joel's forced gaze, Tommy wanted to speak several times. Then Mary stood beside him, took his hand, and gave him courage. "Yes," Tommy said, "I have decided to take Maria away and no longer participate in your and Nanxiao's plans. ”

"You...... Where are you going next? ”

"Maria and I are going to leave New York. She's the leader of a team and we're going to take those people to Jackson County, Wyoming. There's a hydroelectric power station that's just been built, and it's well located for defense and energy. We intend to settle down there and build our own homes. Joel, you can join us if you want."

"Needless to say," Joel interrupted Tommy, "you go, but I'll never go with you." For Sarah's sake, the plan must be carried out to the end. ”

"Impossible, the plan of the Fed coffers is not hopeless at all! There is gold elsewhere too! On the way to Wyoming, there were banks and gold shops everywhere."

Maria interrupts Tommy and says to Joel, "Looting the Fed coffers is tantamount to death." The Manhattan Peninsula was a big barracks full of soldiers. Every road in the entire Manhattan Peninsula is under the control of the government, and even if you go into the vault, how much gold can you transport? What is the concept of more than 2,000 tons of gold, do you think you can carry it in your pocket and take it? ”

It's really possible, after all, the space equipment produced by Stardew Valley has no upper limit when stacked.

Nan Xiao was silent. Right now, Tommy is arguing with his brother, and Maria is considered a brother-in-law, so it's just a matter of jumping in and scolding Joel. He is an outsider with no relatives and no reason, and it seems more embarrassing to speak at this time.

Besides, if you're half-hearted, it's better not to join in the first place.

Tommy left anyway, with Maria, taking his equipment, guns, ammunition, and some gold. He left behind a map of their intended route of travel and their final destination. A thin line runs west from New York and ends near a river in Jackson County.

"You can come to us at any time," Tommy said before leaving, "and the door to the colony is always open to you." ”

Joel didn't say anything, took the map, and went to the roof alone to smoke.

Sarah sat in front of the window with a ragdoll bear in her arms, alone and sullen.

The team was suddenly reduced from five to three, and it was much more deserted. Nan Xiao felt the need to boost morale, so he took out the claw knife found on the Red Cossack and handed it to Sarah: "Come, this is for you." ”

Sarah's eyes changed from bewilderment to surprise and then to surprise: "Hey, what a beautiful handmade knife, bear hilt!" ”

Despite receiving a lovely gift, Sarah's mood is still a little low after losing Uncle Tommy.

Lonely cities, high-rise buildings near and far are in ruins. Little Lori sat on the sofa with her knees crossed, and in front of her was the large floor-to-ceiling window with no glass. This scene is really sad to watch.

Nan Xiao felt that something should be done to make Sarah's mood better. He sat down on the couch and coughed, "Want to hear a story?" I can tell you a story. ”

"Okay."

So Nan Xiao told the story of a killer and a little girl. An illiterate killer who likes to drink milk, raised a pot of verdant large-leaved green plants. One day, a bunch of bad guys came to the building where he lived. They killed his neighbor's whole family, and only the little girl of that family went out to buy milk, and it happened that she was not spared. That day, the killer had a simple conversation with the little girl in the hallway.

The little girl asked, "Is life always so painful?" Or was it only when I was a kid? ”

The killer replied, "Always." ”

"This killer isn't too cold." Sarah said.

"Hey, you guys actually have this film on this plane"

"What did you just say?" Sarah turned her head in interest.

"Uh, I mean, you guys actually have this film in the United States."

"No, I'm pretty sure, you just said the word 'plane'," Sarah leaned closer to Nanxiao, "Wakanda, it exists in another world, isn't it?" ”

Well, Nan Xiao didn't know how to answer these words. Should it be said that children are more sensitive? Sarah has come very close to the truth.

"We're not in a hurry to explore the truth about Wakanda, there are some things that I can't say right now, but maybe there will be opportunities in the future."

"Okay."

"Take it easy, even if your Uncle Tommy isn't there, we'll be able to easily get our hands on the gold in that underground vault. You will be safe and take one pill every three days so that the spore virus will not flare up. Finally, we will find the lost city of Shangri-La. There is the Tree of Life, and its sap can heal you. ”

"Well, I think so."
