Chapter 36: Happy Birthday, Son!

“Father…”

Albert froze on the spot.

He had never thought that his father would have such thoughts.

But before his eyes.

Elke’s words were not over yet.

He looked at Lambert and said slowly.

“Albert, there’s actually a reason why I gave you the cold shoulder in the base.”

.

“Don’t forget, child, it’s Doomsday now.”

“In Doomsday, if we don’t grow up, the only possibility that we will be able to welcome would be destruction.”

…

When these words were slowly said, Albert had already stood stunned on the spot.

“Alright, speaking till here, it’s about time to say goodbye.”

In his arms, Elke’s breath became weaker and weaker.

At this moment, there was no doubt that he had almost no strength left.

But even so.

He gritted his teeth and reached into his pocket slowly, as if he was searching for something. Finally, he took out a piece of cake that was sealed in a plastic box.

He stretched it out in front of Albert and smiled one last time.

“Finally, I wish you a happy birthday, son.”

“It’s just a pity that I wasn’t able to accompany you on your last birthday.”

Elke’s eyes dulled completely after he said this.

With a thud.

The cake fell from his hands onto the ground.

Albert’s eyes froze completely when he looked at his father who had sacrificed himself in his arms.

He was stunned.

He was completely taken aback when he saw the cake on the ground.

It was also at this moment.

Albert suddenly realized that he seemed to be wrong.

There was a reason why his father seemed not to care about him.

In other words.

By becoming stronger in the base and allowing him to live like the young master of the shelter base was his father’s way of indirectly loving him.

At this moment, Albert’s eyes were filled with tears. After Elke left, he let out the loudest shout.

“Father! ! !”

His voice echoed throughout the entire block.

“Albert!”

Robert was frightened by this voice. He subconsciously wanted to remind Albert to lower his voice because there were zombies nearby.

However, just as he reached out his hand…

Another figure beside him suddenly interrupted him.

“Alright, Robert, let Albert be alone,” Phyllis said softly.

Then, she left with Robert.

After the two of them left.

Soon, there was a burst of crying sounds from where Albert was.

A full half an hour passed.

Only then did Robert and Phyllis dare to look for Albert.

At this time, Albert was already walking towards them with a gloomy face.

“Albert… You…”

Phyllis was stunned.

“Let’s go.”

Albert said lightly.

“Albert, what about Lord Demon Hunter?”

Robert looked at Albert who wanted to leave and couldn’t help but ask.

Because it was only half an hour, it wasn’t definitely not enough to cremate a person.

Then what was Elke’s current situation?

“No need, I’ve already buried him. Let’s go back.”

Albert said faintly.

Then, he continued forward silently.

Seeing this, Phyllis and Robert looked at each other.

Seeing that Albert’s mood wasn’t right, they didn’t dare to say anything else and could only nod.

“Mm, let’s go.”

The three of them left just like that.

However, it was also at this moment.

When the two of them didn’t know.

Within the street.

The bodies of Elke, Jim and Freire were lying quietly in a row under a big tree.

However, at this time, everything was still on Elke’s body, except for the scarlet mask on his face.

The breeze blew gently, lifting Elke’s hair, and his face showed a peaceful expression.

…

Time passed bit by bit.

In the afternoon.

Albert and the other two had already returned to Fallout Shelter 043.

When they appeared in the Fallout Shelter’s security area.

“Huh?”

The soldier guarding the door was slightly stunned, and he looked in the direction of the three.

“That’s…”

At first, he was still a little confused.

He subconsciously thought that it was the nearby survivors who wanted to seek refuge in the Fallout Shelter.

However, just as the three of them walked closer in…

Looking at the familiar faces of the three, he was taken aback.

“This… It’s Albert and the others! ! !”

The guard said in surprise.

This shocked the guard who was dozing off and hurriedly asked, “What… What’s the situation?”

“No, look, Albert and the others are back!”

With that, the guard also noticed Albert and the other two who were walking over from a distance. He also had a shocked expression on his face.

The reason why they were so surprised.

It was naturally because they had long heard about the deeds of Albert and the other two.

Lord Elke was deep in the zombie tide. They were actually not afraid of death and went to rescue him.

After this news was spread, the entire shelter felt that Albert and the other two were already dead meat.

However, they never expected that they would actually come back!

If the people in the base saw this, how shocked would they be?

After feeling shocked.

At this moment.

Albert and the other two had already walked to the door.

“Albert, Phyllis, and Robert, we’re coming!”

The guard said as he opened the gate of the shelter base.

However, just as they went out to welcome the three of them, they suddenly froze.

Because they discovered a strange situation.

That was, Albert and the other two should have been very happy since they were lucky from returning from a zombie tide.

However, at this moment, they didn’t say a word!
