Joel and Brian successfully reached the roof along the fire escape. They took pistols and searched some corners to prevent infected people from hiding.

During this period, Brian also briefly recounted what they had experienced over the years. Joel, who was listening to the conversation, had a complex expression on his face.

"So...you traced it from the Atlanta quarantine zone all the way to Boston?"

"certainly."

While scanning the situation on the roof, Brian replied: "We got the whereabouts of Tommy from a member of the Fire Ying family, traced it all the way to Jackson, and then found Boston from Jackson. This journey is not easy.

But luckily we arrived."

After hearing these words, Joel was silent for a while. He naturally knew how dangerous the outside world was now. From Atlanta to Jackson to Boston, it almost spanned most of the United States. The dangers he would encounter during this period were almost unimaginable.

Imagine.

For a moment, he felt countless unspeakable guilt in his heart, because it was what happened that left his daughter helpless in the face of danger.

Thinking of this, Joel, who was never used to expressing his emotions, showed a tangled expression for the first time. He looked at Brian and hesitated for a long time before saying, "No matter what, thank you for taking care of Sarah.

"

In response, Brian just smiled and said: "With our current relationship, this is what I should do..."

It's okay not to mention this. Joel reacted immediately when he mentioned it. The grateful mood just now quickly faded away, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, staring straight at Brian, as if to say, I have seen you a long time ago.

This little brat is plotting against my daughter.

Brian also understood the information immediately, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but secretly complain about Joel's control over his daughter.

"Take good care of Sarah..."

After a long time, Joel seemed to gradually accept the reality, and his eyes faded a little. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that the man in front of him took better care of Sarah than him, but as a father, he still warned:

"If you dare to treat her badly, I will definitely make you look good!"

“…..”

Hearing what he said, Brian just smiled and said, "This is my responsibility."

After confirming that there was no threat on the roof, the two walked to the edge of the fire escape and waved to the people below to come up.

Joel sat on the edge, watching the figures below climbing up the ladder, and asked: "Do you... have children?"

"not yet."

Brian shook his head and responded: "It is not easy to raise a child in the apocalypse. We have to build a camp to deal with hunters and find your whereabouts over the years. We have not considered this matter, but we will do it after we go back.

It’s on the agenda.”

As he spoke, he subconsciously touched his stubble and said, "Otherwise, we are too old, and the risk will be too great in the future. We should think about it."

"As long as you have thought about it."

Seeing this, Joel didn't say much. He raised his chin and glanced at the girl coming up from the front, and said, "Then what are you going to do with this child?"

"This child is an immune system. There is a professor in Peachtree City who has been studying the Cordyceps fungus for more than ten years, which played a key role in his development of a vaccine."

Looking down at Joel's gaze, Brian didn't hesitate and directly expressed his intention to take the girl away.

"Why, didn't you say that developing a vaccine is not a good thing?"

Hearing this, Joel raised his eyebrows and said, "And this child has a very stubborn personality. If she wants to find Huoying, I'm afraid she won't easily follow us."

"I don't know whether it's good or bad, but as long as it's in our hands, it's not a bad thing, and the development speed probably won't be too fast."

Brian just waved his hand indifferently and continued: "As for Ellie's matter, Sarah will handle it. I believe she will find a way to solve it."

After saying that, he glanced sideways and saw the people below were arriving immediately. Brian immediately stood up and walked to the fire escape. He reached out and grabbed Ellie's hand below and pulled her up. Then he brought Sarah and Tess up in turn.

.

"Huh, what were you talking about just now?"

With her feet on the roof of the building, Ellie wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. Thinking of the conversation she heard upstairs just now, she asked curiously.

"Nothing, just discussing the next journey."

Brian explained casually, looked at Joel and said, "What's next?"

When he came to the other side of the roof, Joel looked far into the distance, pointed in one direction, and said, "Go down from here, and we'll get there in another hour's walk that way."

"Ah! We still have to go!"

When she heard that she would still have to walk for another hour, Ellie rubbed her already sore legs and couldn't help complaining. In addition, she had walked for nearly nine hours continuously last night and today, and she also encountered various infections along the way.

Attacked by attackers, such a journey is really too much for her body at this age.

"Just be patient, it's not too far away."

Sarah also stepped forward at the right time, comforted Ellie and encouraged her softly.

After resting briefly at the same spot for ten minutes, the team set off again, without taking too much rest along the way, and finally arrived at their destination near noon.

The observatory mentioned by Joel is located in a remote area far away from Boston. The entire building is not that big. From a distance, it looks like a big steamed bun, but it is surrounded by a fence, which makes it easy to get infected.

Hunters can't enter it either, which is probably why the group of hunters used this place as their temporary foothold.

Several people were hiding deep in the jungle outside the observatory, observing the situation inside the fence and confirming the number of infected people around them.

As they had initially expected, as a temporary foothold, the group of hunters did not often live here, and the number of infected people around was only a handful. There were many corpses lying on the ground, and it seemed that someone was regularly visiting them.

The infected here will be cleaned up.

"let's go."

Seeing this, Joel spotted the gap between the infected people, held the tool in his hand and called Brian forward, and quietly walked to the locked door.

Let Brian be on guard from behind, while he took a pair of large pliers, clamped the big lock and pressed hard.

"Qiang!"

At the sound of metal shattering, the big lock snapped. Joel opened the door and got in first to check the situation inside the observatory.

Brian waved to the people hiding in the distance, and after everyone went in, he closed the door and simply blocked the door by pulling something nearby.

After arriving inside the observatory, several people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Ellie even sat down, leaning against the wall and closing her eyes to rest.

"This place is empty."

Looking at the empty interior of the observatory, Tess walked slowly in it, casually pushing open the doors of some rooms. Except for the bathroom, there were some dusty instruments.

"Is there really a place to live in this place?"

"Of course."

At this moment, a voice came from above everyone's heads. Everyone looked up and found Joel standing on the second floor.

"Come up quickly. There is a lot of food here, and there is also a water storage device where you can maybe take a shower."

"What? Great!"

Hearing this, Ellie jumped up first and ran upstairs quickly along the stairs. Her body was sticky and smelly. She had long wanted to clean it up.

Seeing that Ellie, who was sluggish just now, suddenly became energetic, Brian couldn't help but chuckle and pulled Sarah to follow him.
Chapter completed!
