Now, Ellie has seen monsters. She's gotten up close and personal with horrible, mutated, mindless humans and has definitely killed her fair share of them. But this... thing, whatever it was that the older girl drew, that just kind of creeps her out for reasons she isn't even really sure. Maybe it's because it looked completely inhuman, unlike the Infected.

"Shit... and there are a lot of these things?" She's already planning on how best to defend herself if these things come out of this 'Dead Zone'. It couldn't be that hard to find components for the bombs and such Joel had taught her how to make. She had her switchblade, and her pistol was fully loaded... "Has anyone tried to just... clear them out of there? Or are there too many?"
