Pandemics might become the norm considering we just got out of COVID and MonkeyPox is looming as a threat. What if we got a pandemic like what happened in the Last of Us? Would you survive this? If you are a fan of the show, these are the threats that you would face:
THE TYPES OF INFECTED
-runners: Runners are people who recently turned into infected. They are fast and travel in hordes.
-stalkers: stalkers are INFECTED who are between 2 weeks old to a year old. they stalk and hide from prey in the dark and attack at opportune moments, some also can latch unto a wall and “hibernate” until there next prey walks by at which point the stalker breaks free and attacks.
-clickers: people who have been infected for at least one year. As time went on the fungus spread all over the hosts body, blinding them, as a result forcing them to use echolocation. Even though these infected cant see they have excellent hearing and enhanced strength making them fearsome foes in close combat.
-bloaters: people who have been infected for several years. They are slow and blind yet incredibly strong and resilient with the fungal growth serving as armor plating. Bloaters tear chunks of fungus to use as spore bombs.
-shamblers: people who have been infected for several years within bodies of water, shamblers are similar to bloaters yet not as physically strong they are able to expel large amounts of acidic spores into the air.
-rat king: a super infected abomination composed of multiple stalkers,bloaters, and clickers. It was only encountered by Abby Anderson in the Lakehill Seattle Hospital basement. The rat king is the strongest known infected. Upon sustaining enough damage from weaponry, the other infected conjoined within it will be detached and act individually to attack the survivor.
OTHER SURVIVORS
Seraphites: The seraphites are promoted/encouraged to living a life in line with nature and detached from the civilized world so the seraphites primarily use melee and silent weapons like bows and arrows, although there are some exceptions for some to use rifles, shotguns, and handguns. their primary goal is to wipe out the WLF.
WLFS (stands for Washington liberation front): The WLFS is a strict and powerful group led by Isaac,they have a strict discipline for the formalized, uniformed soldiers in their community with them taking place and gym sessions to train soldiers in fitness and combat. and Unlike the seraphites the WLFS aren’t religious and they use mostly guns and dogs trained for combat use, predominantly German Shepherds and Dobermans. their primary goal is to wipe out the seraphites.
Conclusion: you would probably be dead if you didn’t join any survivor groups.
