"Were you with Marlene when you were bitten?"

"No, I didn't meet her until later."

"I really didn't expect that someone as ruthless as her would actually let you go!"

"...Actually, she almost shot."

“…..”

In a dark basement.

Joel stood in front of the workbench that he had sorted out, adjusting the pistol in his hand, and using the materials he had just obtained along the way to repair and upgrade the firearm.

At the same time, I had to listen to the endless chatter of two ladies behind me, one big and one small. They still kept a faint expression on their faces, but they couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

After packing up their things, Joel greeted the two of them and moved on.

They are currently located in the basement of a certain building. The room next door is filled with old tables and chairs, and next to it are shops that are still under renovation.

"Come on, let's go this way."

The ceiling at the top of the store's lobby collapsed completely. From above, you could see bits of sunlight coming in from the outside world, and it was already bright before you knew it.

His eyes swept across the door of the shop and the gap at the top. Joel hesitated for a moment before choosing to continue moving upward.

"Crack!"

But just when he reached the upper floor, there was a sudden sound like porcelain breaking on the ground behind him.

"Oh, damn!"

Looking at the porcelain that she accidentally knocked over on the ground, Ellie cursed secretly and said quickly: "Sorry, sorry, my fault."

After looking around vigilantly and confirming that the sound just now did not attract the attention of the infected nearby, Tess secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the girl behind her angrily.

But thinking of the identity of the other party's immune system, she frowned slightly and said: "Follow me closely, and be careful outside."

Seeing this, although Joel was also dissatisfied, he didn't say anything and just walked silently in front of the team.

"What is this place?"

Seeing that the two people didn't seem to blame themselves for it, Ellie, who was following closely behind, breathed a sigh of relief. After coming up, she looked at the calligraphy, paintings and ornaments around her, and asked curiously.

"This is a museum, and some of the things here are hundreds of years old."

Taisi looked around at the surroundings. It was completely different from the situation below. Although it was dilapidated and dusty, it could be seen from the charming decoration and many objects placed in different places that they were in a place where

place.

It's a pity that after the end of the world, these old gadgets will no longer have any value, so naturally no one will come to take the antiques.

"Wow! Really?"

All the way forward, Ellie looked at the things around her without blinking, looking here and there, like a curious baby.

These things may not be unusual to people before the end of the world and those who have been wandering outside all year round, but to her, who has lived in the quarantine zone since birth, all things are extremely novel.

Joel, who was walking in front, had no time to pay attention to the two people behind him. He carefully explored the path ahead, squatted down and entered a collapsed room, and quickly found a shortcut to continue moving forward.

However, the door was sealed by two or three thick wooden stakes and stones, leaving only some space in the corner for one person to pass through.

"I'm going this way, and be careful with your heads!"

Seeing this situation, Joel looked up and down, squatted down and lifted himself up a little, and after confirming that he could do it, he called the people behind him to come over.

After the two of them walked in, he grabbed the wooden stake with both hands and lifted it up with force. He endured the pressure on his arms and shouted with difficulty: "Hurry up! Get over there!"

"Walk."

Seeing this, Tess quickly pulled Ellie forward, and the two of them squatted down and crossed the narrow intersection.

Seeing the two people going through, Joel couldn't bear it anymore. He was about to ask Tess to help, and then he went through. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he found that the wooden stakes above were showing signs of loosening.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he didn't even think about how to get past it. He quickly let go and stepped back.

"Clang!"

At the moment Joel let go, all the wooden piles without support collapsed, completely sealing the entrance and exit, which had little space in the first place.

"Joel! Joel!"

Joel, who accidentally fell to the ground, listened to Tess's shouting in front of him, waved his hands to disperse the smoke and dust, and responded: "I'm fine, be careful, I will go around to find you!"

"Roar...!"

"They're coming!"

But when Joel stood up, what responded to him was the footsteps and roars of approaching infected people.

….

"Quick, hurry up!"

Constantly urging Ellie to run forward, Tess could clearly hear the approaching sound of the infected behind her, and she held the pistol in her hand tightly.

But she didn't dare to turn around and attack. She could feel that there were other infected people hiding in this museum. If she fired in such a closed space, it would only attract more infected people.

But Tess understands

When they ran around a corner, they grabbed Elifa's arm and hid sideways into a dark room with a broken door nearby.

"Roar!!!"

Just when they were hiding, accompanied by terrifying howls, several figures passed by their hiding place. However, after running not far away, they were stranded in place because they lost their target.

Listening to the low breathing of the infected people in the corridor, Tess leaned against the wall to control her breathing, and covered the mouth of the girl next to her with one hand.

If they were discovered by those infected here, they would really have nowhere to run.

The two stood there quietly for a long time. After confirming that the infected could not find them, Tess released her hand covering Ellie.

Glancing at the room illuminated by the flashlight, I immediately noticed a long and narrow gap in the middle of the opposite wall, which could lead to the next room.

Patting the girl's back gently, Tess signaled her with her eyes, and Ellie also understood the situation and walked over cautiously.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This gap is narrower than expected. Ellie's thin body can fit in easily, but it is a bit difficult to wait for Tess.

An adult's body is no better than that of a child, not to mention that Tess, as a woman, has other burdens on her chest.

However, although the process was a bit difficult, I still reluctantly chose it after putting in some effort.

At the other end of the gap is an exhibition room displaying paintings. At this moment, a staggering infected person is wandering in it.

But when Tess got out of the gap and saw the infected person whose whole head was wrapped in bacteria, her expression suddenly changed, and the words "Sound Follower" she wanted to say were suppressed.

Seeing the Sound Follower walking towards the double doors next to her, she quickly squatted down and motioned for the girl to go in the opposite direction.

After the two of them carefully evacuated the exhibition room, Ellie looked at the figure of the infected person not far away and asked: "Where should we go next? Will that person... be okay?"

"Let's go up first."

Tess turned her head and looked deep into the dark corridor of the museum beside her, knowing that Joel was somewhere in it at the moment, and said: "Don't underestimate Joel, if any of us can survive to the end, I believe he will."

It's him!"

After saying that, she didn't stay where she was. She quickly walked to the stair passage at the end of the trail, and quickly walked up to the third floor of the trail museum.

Carefully walking up the stairs, Tess glanced sideways at the corridor area on the third floor to confirm that there was no infected person, then walked out and closed the door at the same time.

But just when she turned around and closed the door, a runner walked out of a certain room with his head lowered.

"Roar!!"
