Jason, venturing out for supplies, stumbled upon a small group of survivors huddled around a
crackling fire. They were wary of him, their eyes darting nervously towards the shadows. He
introduced himself, his voice a low rumble breaking the tense silence.
"Who are you?" a girl with fiery red hair and a defiant glint in her eyes demanded. "And what do
you want?"
"My name is Jason," he replied, his voice calm despite the tremor in his hands. "I'm looking for
survivors."
"We've heard about you," the girl said, her eyes narrowing. "The Ghost. They say you're
dangerous."
"I'm just trying to survive," Jason said, his voice steady. "Just like you."
The group, led by Anya, a charismatic but ruthless girl with eyes like cold steel, eyed him with
suspicion. They were a ragtag bunch, hardened by their struggle for survival. There was Liam,
the quiet one, a skilled mechanic with a haunted past; Chloe, the medic, her hands perpetually
stained with the blood of the fallen; and Mark, the former bully, his bravado replaced by a
desperate need for survival.
On a scavenging run, they encountered a horde of the infected. Panic erupted, but Jason, with a
chilling calmness, led them through a narrow alley, using his knowledge of the city's layout to
outmaneuver the horde. However, in the ensuing chaos, Jason, driven by a hidden agenda, subtly guided the group towards a specific location, a location that would have dire
consequences – the old abandoned hospital, the epicenter of the outbreak, according to the
comic book.
