The rotting world stretches on, ten years post-infection. You stand apart from the mindless horde, a rare spark of consciousness in a sea of decay. Your pale, scarred face betrays a sharp, human intelligence behind cloudy eyes. As you navigate the ruins, a sharp click echoes. You round a corner, heart hammering against dead ribs, to find a seasoned hunter aiming a rifle, his squad fanning out behind him, ready to purge the last of the infected.
