Chapter 57 Take Care Joel!bye ellie

"It's too late, you go in first, I'll hold on." Joel shouted.

At this time, the shutter door had just opened half a person's height.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tess and Ellie rolled on the spot and entered the house.

Joel also quickly let go and rolled over from below.

"Are you alright?" Tess asked concerned.

"It's okay, let's move on."

This building is an old-fashioned museum, and the three of them walked through the museum without any hindrance.

In front of it is the Capitol Building, where a deep layer of water has accumulated in front of the building where the car was originally parked.

"The water here seems to be very shallow, let's go this way." Tess continued to lead the way.

Chen Yingying said happily: "Brothers, 81 is finally here."

"Hahaha, Sister Chen is showing her might tonight."

"I was very worried when I saw it along the way."

"Is it almost there? Is the mission completed? I paid attention to Tess all the way, and didn't pay attention to other things."

""It's Simple""

"It's all up to my wife Tess, okay?"

"Sister Chen is mainly responsible for being a vase inside."

"Damn it, haven't you seen my heroic appearance?" Chen Yingying said dissatisfied.

…………

The three of them waded through waist-deep water.

The water seemed to have been stagnant for some time, and pieces of duckweed grew on the surface of the water.

There are also a lot of weeds growing in the yard outside the Capitol.

Ellie knew that the ultimate goal of this trip was ahead, and she was very excited.

She looked at Tess and Joel.

He said sincerely: "Thank you very much, and I am also very glad that Ma Lin asked you to send me here."

"Even if you are paid to do things, I still want to say, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Tess said calmly.

Joel didn't speak.

The iron gate at the entrance of the Congress had fallen aside, and the three of them waded through the water and walked up the grand staircase in front of the Congress, which symbolized majesty.

The stone lion sculptures on both sides of the stairs are stuck head-down in the stagnant water.

The two doors of Congress were not locked.

Tess eagerly opened the door and went in.

"No no no no no!"

Lying on the ground was the body of a man who had been dead for a long time.

…………

"Don't be kidding, brother." Chen Yingying was helpless, "What do you mean?"

"Huo Ying's person is dead?"

"Then what should I do next?"

"Brothers, I'm panicking."

"Sister Chen, don't cross it, it's a critical moment."

"Yes, Sister Chen will talk later, don't talk at this time."

Chen Yingying: "..."

…………

Tess rushed forward eagerly, reaching up and down the man's clothes.

"What happened?" Ellie couldn't understand for a moment.

Joel's heart sank, he knew that Firefly's people would not come.

This just confirmed my previous guess.

"What are you doing Tess? What are you doing?"

Tess kept groping for the man at the moment.

Muttering in his mouth, "Maybe this person has a map on him, or something that will let us know the location."

Joel spread his hands, "Then how far do you want us to take her?"

Tess stood up suddenly, looking very excited.

"How far? She needs us to send her as far as she wants, understand?"

She continued to squat down without finding anything on the corpse, and looked up at Ellie.

"Where is Firefly's laboratory?"

Allie said, "I haven't heard from Marlene."

After a pause, she seemed to be thinking about long memories.

continued:

"She just said it was somewhere in the west."

Joel was puzzled, he said in a deep voice, "Tess, what are you doing?"

"That's not what we do, and it's not how we do things!"

"How well you know us!" Tess stood up.

She looked a little anxious and a little helpless.

"How much do you know about me?"

"I just know you're not one to do such stupid things!"

"Is that so, Joel?" Tess spread her hands, her voice raised.

"We've never been a bad guy, and we've always been."

Joel was a little angry, "We are just ordinary people who want to live."

"This is our chance, and this is a chance for all of humanity, a chance to treat the infected, Joel."

"It's useless!" Joel yelled at Tess, and he rarely showed anger.

"It's all over, I heard you tried and sent Ellie here too."

Joel's tone slowed, and he looked Tess in the eye.

"Now we should go back! Time to go home!"

"I...where...I won't go anywhere..." Tess' eyes were a little red.

Joel was a little annoyed, he turned his head away, not wanting to look at Tess.

Suddenly, the air cooled down and the atmosphere became very delicate.

…………

Chen Yingying said: "Brothers, this atmosphere is a bit wrong."

Barrage: "I feel a little abnormal."

"What's wrong with my wife Tess?"

"The best way now is to go back to the base! Listen to Joel, Tess."

"There is a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Upstairs, why don't you shut up."

…………

Tess pursed her lips, trembling slightly.

"It's here...Joel...I can't go with you anymore!"

"What? (What did you say)" Joel and Chen Yingying said at the same time.

"What does she mean? Brothers?"

"How the hell do we know!"

"Is naughty cat going to do something again?"

…………

Tess turned her head away, looked at her feet, and walked lightly.

"Our luck will run out sooner or later...Joel!"

Tess' voice was low.

"What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean?" Joel touched Tess's arm.

"Don't! Don't touch me!" Tess suddenly cried like a frightened rabbit.

The voice of "Don't touch me" became even softer, and there seemed to be a hint of crying.

Ellie, who was watching all this silently, seemed to have noticed something.

"Crap! Crap!"

Ellie's tiny brows furrowed, her pupils dilated "She...she's infected."

Joel looked at Tess in disbelief.

Tess' expression changed instantly.

Lonely, unwilling, helpless, silent.

But he didn't say a word to deny it.

"Let me see!" Joel said.

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this!" Tess said softly.

"Show me!" Joel said firmly.

Tess tore off her collar, revealing a fresh bite from a zombie that had been covered up inside.

"Fuck him?" Joel swears, and can't bear to watch it again.

"Look at this" Tess rushed to Ellie, rolled up her sleeves,

"Look! This was bitten three weeks ago."

"And me?" Tess pointed to herself.

"I just got bitten an hour ago and it's starting to get worse."

"Ellie's immunity is real, Joel!"

"You have to send Ellie to Tommy, who used to be a member of Firefly."

"He knows where to take Ellie!"

Joel took two steps back, and Tess begged:

"Just take it as my last request. For me, please bring Ellie to Tommy."

Rumble rumble!
At this moment, the roar of a truck engine sounded outside.

The three hurried to check in front of the glass, and a military truck came outside.

It was full of soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition.

"You go!"

"I'll buy you some time, but there may not be much time, Joel, you have to run faster!"

"Are you asking us to keep you here?" Ellie asked.

"Absolutely impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Joel shook his head.

"I will never let myself become the ugly zombie, Joel!" Tess looked into Joel's eyes firmly.

The moment he met Tess's eyes, Joel gave in. His eyes were red and his eyebrows were wrinkled into a word of Sichuan.

"Come on, Joel, don't embarrass me, and don't cry for me!"

"We can fight side by side!" Joel looked over Tess's shoulder at the approaching enemy outside the window.

"Stop talking, let's go!"

Tess pushed Joel again.

"Mother-in-law doesn't look like a man, let's go!"

Joel looked at Tess, stood there just looking at it like that, as if he wanted to deeply impress Tess's appearance at this moment in his heart.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and spit out a few words: "Ai Li, let's go!"

Watching Joel and Ellie start to run upstairs, Tess let out a sigh of relief, and she reached out and gently stroked the broken hair on her forehead.

"Take care Joel! Bye Ellie!"

Tess's voice was too low to be heard...

At this moment, Chen Yingying burst into tears.
