Joel is a "troublemaker" in the end times. He has been wandering between life and death for many years and has long developed his extraordinary fighting skills and calm mind.

Although his body was old, his eyes burned with determination and endless fatherly love.

Even though the road ahead is filled with cruelty and danger, the old father will resolutely fight his way into the encirclement to save his daughter. He will use his own strength to defeat all enemies who stand in his way!

The next second, Joel transformed into a brick warrior. He picked up a few bricks from the ground and smashed the heads of the two guards with precision.

Then, while the other party was still unable to react, he instantly broke open the door of the laboratory building and rushed in with unparalleled bravery.

Joel, armed with his own gun and machete, moved with swiftness and precision. Like a cheetah, he darted between his enemies, each strike carrying deadly ferocity. With a flash of blade and ruthless determination, he pierced Meow's heart, slit its throat, blood splattering as his enemies felled one after another.

Joel was in a state of panic after being repeatedly obstructed by the enemy. The sounds of gunfire and the chopping of swords and axes echoed one after another, and brutal battles continued in the building!

During the battle, his old body was also wounded by the enemy's attacks. Blood seeped through his clothes, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell, his body covered in blood and extremely ferocious.

But he was not afraid, and his heart was not shaken at all. He had only one goal, which was to save his daughter.

He bravely fought his way out of the enemy's encirclement, while screaming out Ellie's name.

The enemies seemed endless, constantly coming, trying to kill the old father. But Joel didn't give up hope! He believed his daughter was not dead! She was waiting for him to save her!

Joel couldn't help but recall the time he spent with Ellie. Countless words choked in his throat, causing him to roar!

[Screw saving the world! Screw the future of civilization! Screw this noble mission! If Ellie isn't in the future, then everything will be meaningless! Other people's lives are not worth even a finger of Ellie's! They are not worthy of being saved by her!]

Joel wielded his blade, slicing through any enemy who stood in his way. His eyes gleamed with determination, his body strong and fierce. The intensity of the battle surprised everyone present. Even after being shot multiple times, the tabby cat remained standing.

This old father always held on to his beliefs and goals. The sounds of brutal fighting continued to echo in the building, and his blood dragged a shocking trail on the ground, but he never stopped and never gave up saving his daughter.

Joel struggled to climb to the last floor and found Ellie, who was anesthetized on the operating table and almost dissected. He raised his gun to scare off the doctors, then covered his wound, held on to the wall, and struggled to get closer.

Joel's injuries became more and more serious, and he knew that he didn't have much time left, so he picked up Ellie and wanted to take her away from here.

Looking at Ellie's lovely appearance, the old father couldn't help but tears flowed down his cheeks. He wanted to tell Ellie in person to be strong, to live, and to protect herself.

But his increasingly tired body no longer gave him this opportunity.

Not long after he carried Ellie out of the operating room, the leader of "Firefly" caught up with a group of his men and pointed their guns at Joel.

"Look at what you've done! Joel! You're destroying the hope of all the meows in the world! Sacrificing her can save the whole world! Is there anything wrong with that? I can't let you take her away! Put her down!"

Joel didn't look back, but said quietly, "If the world has no hope for the future, what does it have to do with me? I'm a 52-year-old old man, how long do I have left to live? But getting along with this child has helped me find the meaning I lost. Now, I just hope Ellie can survive. Even if it means becoming the 'last survivor' in this apocalypse, I'm willing to do it!"

"You forced me to do this! Joel!"

The leader of "Firefly" raised his pistol and issued a final threat to Joel.

But this time, Joel did not stop. He hugged the anesthetized Ellie, as if walking towards the beautiful and promising future.

To save the world, he had to sacrifice the lives of those he loved? Such a shitty sacrifice, to hell with him!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of gunshots suddenly erupted behind him, but the expected bullets did not penetrate his flesh. Joel looked back curiously and found that all the enemies had their heads blown off instantly by an invisible force.

What happened?

Just as he was shocked and confused, a voice suddenly sounded in Joel's mind: "Keep going, go to the rooftop, you will be saved."

He couldn't detect the source of the sound, nor could he see any people around him. It was as if... he had encountered a group of ghosts...

Joel had no choice because he heard a lot of footsteps running up from the corridor below. He could only choose to follow the guidance of the mysterious voice and go to the rooftop.

He was seriously injured and walked very slowly, and was soon caught up by the pursuers behind him. But he seemed to be protected by a group of ghosts, and no enemy could get close to him.

He witnessed with his own eyes how the pursuers were lifted up into the air one by one by the transparent air and then chopped into pieces.

His brain was lacking oxygen due to excessive blood loss, and he simply couldn't support his thinking about such an incredible question. He could only rely on his amazing perseverance to reach the rooftop.

But to his disappointment, there was nothing on the rooftop. Could it be that... all this was just a hallucination before his death?

As if he had been drained of his last bit of strength, Joel knelt on the ground, holding the unconscious Ellie in his arms, ready to wait quietly for death to come.

Suddenly, a blue arc of light rippled in the sky before his eyes.

Soon, an extremely huge spaceship appeared in the originally transparent sky.

Arcs of light flashed around him and Ellie, and five unknown beings dressed in glowing clothes appeared out of thin air.

With a loud bang, like a bolt from the blue, it exploded in Joel's mind. A single word instantly popped into his mind.

alien!

Aliens are coming!

Are they here to rescue Ellie?

The brilliance of the spaceship caught Joel's eye. It was so dazzling, so beautiful, like a ray of light suddenly appearing in the darkness. It was called: Hope!
