(There are a lot of plot content, students who don't care can consider jumping.)

Time has come to the winter.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was a rabbit, and Ellie was hunting with a bow and arrow.

From the mental state of Ellie, players can infer that Joel is still alive, but lost his ability to act, otherwise Ellie will not go out hunting alone.

While chasing a deer, Ellie met two passers-by, and while waiting for the passer-by companions to go back to take medicine, Ellie and the passers-by met the zombie attack.

When Ellie and Zombie battled, the players discovered that the little luoli who only knew that 666 was behind Joel had grown into a qualified fighter. Sneak, assassination, bow and arrow, shooting, all the abilities have been unlocked. It can be seen that during these few months, Ellie has had many difficult battles to take care of Joel.

After solving all the zombies, when the players thought it was safe, the plot ushered in a turning point.

The wretched uncle who fought alongside Ellie turned out to be the leader of the hunter, and the hunters that Joel and Ellie had previously killed in the nearby towns were all his companions.

However, the wretched uncle seemed to be very open-minded, gave Ellie antibiotics and let her go.

But in fact, if the player pays attention to the previous story, the hunter in that town mentioned the new leader during his chat. His murder even caused dissatisfaction with the hunters, and even some hunters would rather not leave. Willing to work with him, it can be seen that this is a hidden and deep negative role.

(The egg here: Uncle Uncle and Nathan use the same actor.)

Ellie returned to the hiding place, and Joel was still lying on the ground and stunned. Ellie got the antibiotics to save him.

Frozen in the cold, Joel was unconscious with a blanket, and Ellie used a backpack to make a pillow lying next to him, taking good care of it.

But in the early morning, the hunters searched for it, and Ellie decided to lead the hunters.

Although many hunters were solved, Ellie was caught by the leader of the hunter.

Woke up from the prison, Ellie found that the outside hunter was dissecting the living, apparently to feed on human flesh.

The leader wanted to let Ellie stay, but Ellie was unmoved, and the leader was angry and decided to make Ellie into Avery.

Just then, Joel, who had injected antibiotics, woke up.

......

Zhao Lei manipulated Joel, and it was so happy that you finally woke up!

Apparently, Ellie has been caught, and now only Joel can arrive in time to save her. Zhao Lei did not search for the materials in the room, almost immediately rushed out of the house to find the trace of Ellie.

Killing the hunter who is searching for himself in the town, Joel tied two live mouths and tortured and asked the two men to fall. This scene of inhumane torture not only did not make Zhao Lei feel cruel, but made him feel very relieved!

However, the story after this did not fall into the cliché of "Joel saves Ellie". Ellie escaped very wittyly. The story at this time was a double line. In the snowstorm, Ellie escaped. Searching for a road in the town; Joel also came to the town to search for Ellie's trail.

In the town's restaurants, Ellie and the abnormal uncle had an extremely difficult boss battle. Ellie could only sneak in the scene, assassinated with a knife, and must be assassinated three times.

Zhao Lei died here several times, but when the final knife was stabbed, the picture switched to Joel.

When Joel arrived in the town, the enemy's reinforcements had arrived. They were searching the whole town. Zhao Lei did not intend to entangle with these people, but searched the location of Ellie in the town.

Ellie eventually killed the perverted hunter leader, almost venting a machete and slashing his head. At this time, Joel finally arrived, and Ellie couldn't make a sound in Joel's arms.

In the low guitar sound, everything is calm, Zhao Lei realized at this time that his back has been soaked by sweat.

......

So far, the whole story has actually come to the climax part, the players have experienced a lot, and the emotions of Joel and Ellie have also changed.

From the initial indifference to the later gradual trust, and now, the two people are already inseparable.

When Joel was seriously injured, Ellie did not leave him. Instead, she took care of him with great pains and had already let Joel treat her as her own daughter. The conversation between the two men on the way is also significantly more, Joel said, when this is over, I will teach Ellie to play the guitar. It can be seen that Joel has already made Ellie the sustenance of the last days. family.

At this time, the player's goal is only one, that is, to send Ellie to the firefly, and develop a vaccine against the virus.

Finally came to the hospital of the destination, the scene is no longer the blizzard of the sky, it can be seen that the two people have gone very long time, spent a whole year crossing the United States.

In the ruins of the city, there are many animals. A giraffe is downstairs and stretches his head upstairs to graze. Joel and Ellie walked over and stroked the soft fur on the giraffe's neck.

The giraffe is eating grass, the big watery eyes are looking at the camera, and behind it is a lush high-rise building.

The cute giraffe seemed to wake up Ellie’s girl’s heart and began to bounce and chase the giraffe.

This is a very warm picture. Although it is very short, it has left a very deep impression on Zhao Lei. In the past zombies, the scenes of the last days seem to be the same gray and black, and the almost rotten zombies bring true nightmares and end times. But in the "Apocalyptic Day", because the virus is set to be a Cordyceps, it does not pose a threat to plants and animals. So in the 20 years after the virus broke out, nature and animals have regained their human territory. .

This warm-hearted picture is a very critical female perspective, which has cast a layer of humanity on the "America's Doomsday". It is no longer only hormones and killing, no longer only the cruelty and coldness of the last days, but also a lot of sunshine and warmth.

With a melodious and soothing melody, Zhao Lei has a feeling that after so many painful battles before, the story will finally have a good ending.

Just like the land in front of you, grass, trees, giraffes.

At this point, Joel had already retired, and he proposed to end the journey. But Ellie decided to go on. After all, after so many things, the goal of saving all mankind is to be achieved.

The players at this time are also such a very entangled mentality, knowing that this is coming to an end, but they don't want to end.

The two men skillfully partnered with each other and passed through the zombie-stricken city. They experienced a lot of dangers. Finally, they found the base of the firefly.

When Joel woke up, Marlene was next to him, feeling that they could walk through such a long road.

Joel said: "Because she is there, she insisted on staying here, maybe this is destined."

Joel wants to meet Ellie, but Marlene tells Joel the truth.

Cordyceps has undergone a change in Elli's body, so Ellie can be immune to the virus. Doctors must remove Cordyceps that has spread throughout Elle's brain to produce a vaccine using reverse engineering.

The reality has finally tore off the warmth of the veil, Joel is faced with a dilemma, either let Ellie die, develop a vaccine, or rescue Ellie, put the safety of all human beings behind the head.

After all, the example of an immune virus is only one such case. It is very likely that humans will no longer be able to find the next person who is immune to the virus like Ellie.

Joel chose the latter without hesitation.

Taking the gun, asking questions, and killing a **** road, Zhao Lei never felt so happy. He doesn't care about the end of the world, nor does he care about the virus vaccine. He just wants to save Ellie and leave here.

For Joel, Zhao Lei feels the same, because during this long journey, the two people have experienced so much together and have acquired an emotion that is even more inseparable than the family.

Joel experienced the pain of a lost woman, so he knew very well what Ellie’s death would mean for him, and I’m afraid it’s more painful than the end of the world. Therefore, he did not hesitate, for Ellie he could kill everyone.

On the way to the top floor, Joel found two recordings, one was a doctor's recording. The doctor has confirmed that Ellie is an unprecedented situation, and even has been looking forward to developing a vaccine, saving the world, and all the pains are ended. tomorrow. The other part is Marlene's recording. As the leader of the firefly, she is also very entangled, but eventually agreed with the doctor's advice. Moreover, when Joel arrived, the fire-fighting soldiers proposed to kill Joel, and Marlene saved Joel.

Finally rushed to the operating room, Joel took Ellie all the way out of the base of the fire.

The familiar melody sounded again, and Zhao Lei’s eyes were wet. He seemed to see that in the last days of the scene, Joel and Ellie depended on each other.

What is the definition of the end times? The outbreak of the virus and the destruction of civilization may be the end of the world, but for Joel now, if Ellie dies, it is the real end.

Kill Marlene and leave the fire.

On the leaving car, Ellie woke up. They are going to return to the town of Tommy to continue their lives. Joel had a good lie and told her that there were many people with immune viruses, but there was nothing they could do. They had given up on the development of the vaccine.

The final perspective, back to Ellie's body.

Joel talked about his dead daughter Sarah and thought that Ellie and Sarah would definitely be good friends.

In the last scene, Ellie talked about her friends, Tess and Sam, all of whom died of infection, and Ellie survived. Obviously, if Ellie knows that her death can end all of this, she is likely to choose to sacrifice herself.

Ellie asked Joel to swear that everything he said was true.

Joel looked at Ellie’s eyes and said seriously: "I swear."

......

......

At this point, the game is over.

Zhao Lei still feels a little short of breath, and the heart is also jumping.

This is the first time that he has had this strange feeling after playing the whole game.

Looking at the list of developers in the game, Zhao Lei knows that this story has come to an end, but there are too many places for reflection.

Every character and every story seems to have its own meaning, but obviously this is a controversial story. Everyone's heart will have their own judgment and their own ending.

"Apocalyptic Day" does not give players the opportunity to choose the ending. It does not make a very popular "multiple ending story". It just tells a good story like a movie. The characters in the story are each sticking to their own creed.

Zhao Lei feels that there are too many words in his heart to say, but there is nothing to say.

He understands that "Apocalyptic Day" will be a true work.
