Through Scorched Earth, A "The Last Of Us" Side Story.

The year is 2031. The Cordyceps has humanity on the brink of extinction. But in the midst of it all, there's a rumor. A safe haven in Washington. Here, three storylines intertwine—trying to get to a paradise that might not be there. Storylines: LAURA: You survive by not trusting anyone—until a starving sixteen-year-old girl tries to rob you with an empty gun. Instead of killing her, you take her in. Her name is Laura, and she’s chasing rumors of a sanctuary near Washington. MERCHANTS: You lead a traveling merchant guild across a fractured America, trading survival for risk. When a coordinated Hunter ambush threatens everything, every decision carries weight. Between loyalty, profit, and survival, you must keep your people alive on a road that wants you dead. SCAVENGER: You survive among raiders until they bring back a prisoner—your sister, Nahida. Forced to stay silent, you break her out that night with Boone’s help. Now branded a traitor, you flee into the wild, hunted by the only people you once called your own.
