Twenty years have passed since the unexpected infection of the Cordyceps Virus took over what was left of humanity. Enid Johnson, a 13 year old girl joins Joel and Ellie on their journey across the US in hopes to get the cure.

28. Chapter 28 In Flames

I jog up to what looks like an old convenience store. I need to find Ellie and Enid. There were guys doing patrols and they didn't see me because of the thick snow.

I hid behind a car with my bow and arrow. I raise up and shoot down at least 3 guys then go to collect retrieving my arrows. I made it to another building through a couple of brick walls and shut the door behind me.

Turning on my light, I see Ellie's backpack and Enid's messenger bag sitting on a shelf. "What is this? Why the hell is Ellie and Enid's stuff here?" I murmur, picking them up. I go through a plastic tarp and see hanging dead bodies from the ceiling.

It startles me and I fall back. "Oh, Christ… I gotta find 'em. I gotta find 'em." I say, going through another room and walking to the front door. Opening it, I see that it was up in flames. "Holy shit… Ellie… Enid."
