Chapter 18

Chapter Eighteen I know gas. I know THE CREATURE'S POWER. And YES, I WATCHED THE TOWN. YOU ARE CORRECT-THE TOWN WILL BE GONE. If GUST COMES HERE. "Wait, hold up, really?" I say. "I was just saying that in hopes of getting you out there." Warg's head dips. Frost dots her strange, loose face. "Your town will be overrun by the undead. An

第十八章我知道煤气。 我知道这个生物的力量。 是的，我看着这个小镇。 你说得对，小镇会消失的。 如果阵风来到这里。“等等，等等，真的吗？”我说。 “我这么说只是希望能让你走出去。” 小王的头低了下来。霜点在她那奇怪的、松弛的脸上。 “你的城镇将被亡灵占领。 一个

endless army. Ghazt is...... The General. The General of the undead." June stammers. "You mean... he, like, leads zombies?" "Not leads," Warg says. "Controls." Now I understand why Evie had thousands upon thousands of zombified action figures. It was her way of planning, plotting.... And I understand, now, why Evie wants Ghazt, specifically. Why she's not content with the Cosmic Servants already on Earth, why she's not just trying to bring .e...c. himself here. Because she wants something that can control the thousands and thousands of zombies. "Take this," Warg says. She plucks a single eyeball from her body and pushes it into my hands. "These globular organs are why Bardle sent you."

无尽的军队。Ghazt是…… 将军。不死族的将军。” 6月口吃症状。“你的意思是…… 他，就像领导僵尸一样？”“不是领导，”Warg说。 “控制”。现在我明白为什么艾薇有成千上万的僵尸人偶了。 这是她的计划和策划方式.... 现在我明白了，为什么伊维特别想要加斯特。 为什么她不满足于已经在地球上的宇宙仆人，为什么她不只是想把… 自己在这里。因为她想要某种能控制成千上万僵尸的东西。 “拿着这个，”Warg说。她从身上取出一只眼球，塞到我手里。 “这些球状器官就是巴德尔派你来的原因。”

YOUR FRIEND MUST DRINK THE JELLY FILLED CENTRE BEFORE HE IS FULLY UNDEAD THAT WILL REVERSE THE ZOMBIES. WAIT, What? No, why? As I'm holding the eyeball, I realize I only thought this far. I only thought about figuring out how to get Dirk fixed. And where do we go now? Where did she take him? Her house, right? But I'm not so sure. She brought the Louisville Slicer with her. Home is where she kept it! And she needs to be with the artifact in order to carry out her nefarious plan....

你的朋友必须喝果冻填充中心之前，他完全不死，将扭转僵尸。 等等,什么?不,为什么?当我拿着眼球的时候，我意识到我只想了这么远。 我只想着怎么把德克治好。 我们现在要去哪里？她把他带到哪里去了？ 她的房子，对吧？但我不太确定。 她把路易斯维尔切片机带来了。 家是她保存它的地方！她需要和藏物在一起才能实施她的邪恶计划....

Quint's watch is tick, tick, ticking. And there's no way to stop it. No way to stop time. The moment the zombie bit Dirk, things got rolling. I can hear her voice, ringing in my head: "In one moment, I'll have all that I need. And then Ghazt will be here. As easy as A-B-C...." I spin around. "The ABC Block Smasher Cinema! That's where she's taking Dirk. That's where this is all going down. I'm sure of it." June's jaw is tight. She sighs. "That is miles from here. Many hours of walking...." My heart pounds. No way. No way. We didn't make it this far to not finish. I mean—I've got an oversized eyeball in my hand. You don't waste oversized eyeballs! But June's right. We're miles from our destination. We need, like, a... "Christmas miracle," June says, softly—and she points... And there I see Bardle, Skaelka, and Rover running toward us. Our own Christmas miracle.

昆特的表在嘀嗒嘀嗒地走着。 而且没有办法阻止它。 没有办法让时间停止。僵尸咬德克的那一刻，事情就开始了。 我能听到她的声音，在我的脑海里回响：“在这一刻，我将拥有我所需要的一切。 然后Ghazt会在这里。 就像A-B-C一样简单....”我旋转。 “ABC街区粉碎电影院！”她要带德克去那里。 这就是事情的发展方向。 我敢肯定。”琼的下巴紧绷着。 她叹了口气。“那离这儿很远。 走好几个小时....” 我的心怦怦直跳。不可能。不可能。 我们走了这么远还没完成。 我的意思是，我手里拿着一个超大的眼球。 你不会浪费超大的眼球！但琼是对的。 我们离目的地还有好几英里呢。 我们需要一个…“圣诞奇迹，”琼轻声说道——她指着…… 我看见巴德尔、斯卡卡和罗孚向我们跑来。 我们自己的圣诞奇迹。

JUNE QUINT FOR YOU. FOUND THIS WHILE CLEANING UP FROM THE BATTLE. It's a card. June's hands tremble as she opens it. Quint peers closer. I read over their shoulders. June, Quint— Merry Christmas! I feel lousy that you have to wait until spring to answer the radio call. If you want to get to the big city and try to find your family, you should get to do it now.

六月昆特送给你。在清理战场时发现的。 这是一张卡片。琼打开它时双手颤抖。 昆特更靠近了。我越过他们的肩膀看书。 六月，昆特-圣诞快乐！你得等到春天才接电话，这让我很难受。 如果你想去大城市找你的家人，你现在就该去了。

So I built this. I'm not sure what Jack's gonna do—but I'm staying put. I fit here. Hard to explain. I didn't know it, yet, when we were planning to leave. But the holidays showed me. I have better friends here than I ever had before the Monster Apocalypse. I'll finish the engine this week! Promise, guys. Merry Christmas! Dirk I look up. I don't totally understand. Behind me, Quint and June are in shock. I look in Rover's eyes. And then I notice something in his mouth—a big giant Dozer bone. And attached to that bone—rope! Like an old-timey sled dog! And I see what he's pulling. "It's Big Mama!" I say. "But Big Mama isn't Big Mama anymore," June says. "She's like—Sled Mama! Or the Big Sled!" Quint grins. "No, no, I got it. She is..." -SNOW MAMA!

所以我做了这个。我不知道杰克会怎么做，但我要留在原地。 我适合这里。很难解释。 当我们打算离开的时候，我还不知道。 但是假期让我明白了。 我在这里的朋友比怪物启示录之前的朋友都好。 这周我要把引擎修好！承诺,男人。 圣诞快乐!德克：我抬起头。 我不太明白。 在我身后，昆特和琼震惊了。 我看着罗孚的眼睛。然后我注意到他嘴里有什么东西——一根巨大的推土机骨头。 而且系在那根骨绳上！就像老式的雪橇狗一样！我知道他在做什么。 “是大妈妈！”我说。“但是大妈不再是大妈了，”琼说。 “她就像——雪橇妈妈！”或者是大雪橇！”昆特笑着说。 “不，不，我知道了。她是……” 雪妈妈!
