Joel and (Y/N) land at the bottom and spread out to cover more ground. (Y/N) grabs a brick and throws it to distract them. They go and check it out as him and Joel sneak behind two of them kill them. Joel then grabs another one and uses him as a shield and shoots the rest

Ellie snipes one trying to get behind him and Joel chokes the hostage out. With everyone dead Ellie jumps down from her vantage point and regroups with the other two

Ellie: How'd I do?

Joel takes the rifle away and hands her a handgun from a dead hunter

Joel: How about something a'..... a little more your size. For emergencies only

Ellie: Okay

She grabs it and puts it away then they continue forward. The came across more hunters but at this point they could trust each other. They quickly killed them all and moved on

As they moved on Ellie noticed some spray painting saying Death for freedom. Along with that were 3 dead bodies of soldiers

Ellie: Geez. I guess this is how it ended for this zone

Joel: Every battle has a loosing side

(Y/N): Poor guys. They were just doing their job

Joel: Well the people really didn't appreciate their jobs. Especially now. C'mon we gotta keep moving

Joel asked (Y/N) to grab the ladder while he gave him a boost. He climbed up to the fire escape and dropped the ladders down for them. They jump off the other side of the wall and Ellie sees a poster

Ellie: Hey there's another one. These posters are everywhere

Joel: I saw this right before the outbreak

Ellie: You did? Does he totally gut her hy the end?

Joel: Nobody get gutted. It's a dumb teen movie

(Y/N): Then why'd you watch it

Joel: I don't know

(Y/N): huh. And were the wierd ones

A short while later they see a large armored truck pass by as they hide from it. The truck had a mounted gun on it so with no other choice they decide to sneak by it. That didn't work out because as soon as they try and cross the street they get spotted

They make a run for they alleyway as the truck keeps shooting and following them. They cut through a building and catch a breath

Ellie: What the fuck are they shooting at us with?

Joel: Dome kind of military turret

(Y/N): How the hell did they get their hands on one?

Joel: That doesn't matter. We need to find another way out

They search the building for supplies and another way out, one without a turret mounted gun on the other side. (Y/N) then sees an open window and gets a, not so smart, idea

(Y/N): Alright I got and idea, follow me!

He jumps out the window and onto a fire escape then goes up the stairs. They follow him as the truck is still searching for them down below. They go to the next floor and see a pile of planks making a small bridge to the other building

(Y/N): This makes things easier

Joel: What was your plan to begin with?

(Y/N): Jump to the other building, but looks like we don't have to jump anymore
