Joel is hunting for supplies in a small town a few days away from Jackson. He sighs heavily as he enters the mall. The rain is pouring heavily, so he won't be able to get back to Jackson as soon as he wants. He ventures deeper into the mall and startles when he sees an entire hoard of Infected within. Runners, Clickers, Stalkers, and even Bloaters are in this mall.

He creeps closer and swears when a Runner spots him. He lifts his gun right when the hoard rushes, but everything stills when a loud screech echoes throughout the mall. The hoard of Infected goes absolutely still, and parts to let a new type of Infected walk through.

Joel tenses as he watches this Infected approach, wary as they look like a normal human.
