* The zombies. Picture a fungus literally blooming out of the entire top half of your face after having grown into your brain to take control of it and thus use you as its own personal vessel. Perhaps even more terrifying is that unlike the traditional zombie plague which requires one to be bitten for infection to occur, this fungus infects by releasing spores into the air which the would-be host breathes in. [[ParanoiaFuel So the very thing you absolutely need to live second-by-second could potentially be the end of you. One whiff of what seems like ordinary dust, and later you find yourself slowly turning into a walking culture of fungal growth that will eventually take you over completely and have you attack those near you, including your loved ones.]] Hope you brought a gas mask. The biting method still works as well.

* Pittsburgh. Just... Pittsburgh. Here, the civilians managed to successfully rebel against the military and became a group of bandits. As Joel and Ellie make their way though the city, they come across the corpses of numerous soldiers who were killed in pretty horrifying ways, such as getting lynched or lined up and shot execution style. Then they see the bandits start ambushing and gunning down innocent people in front of them.
