Chapter 11 - 9 : Cordyceps Brain Infection (CBI)
The Last of Us Fungus is Real. The fungus from The Last of Us is based on a real fungus that exists in nature today and is called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, or cordyceps. Cordyceps is often referred to as the "zombie-ant fungus" because it primarily infects ants and other insects such as spiders.

"It is reported that a virus called "Cordyceps fungus" or "Cordyceps brain infection (CBI)" is rapidly spreading around the world. The southern region has been completely occupied, and a large number of infected patients have begun to appear in the east and west."
"The World Health Organization, together with elite medical teams from various countries, is making every effort to defeat the "CBI" bacteria and is expected to produce a relevant vaccine next year..."
"The government has urgently set up the "Federal Disaster Relief Agency," equipped with the latest research and development of "infection scanners." They will try their best to save all compatriots trapped in the infected area, and at the same time, they will also detect all those detected by the scanner as infected."Persons placed in quarantine"

A full week has passed since the outbreak of the plague, and he and Sarah have stayed here for a whole week.
From beginning to end, Joel and Tommy were nowhere to be seen. After Sarah's legs recovered, they searched all the areas near the bridge and even searched along the place where they parted, but there was no trace of them.
Gradually, they learn to accept reality and understand that the person they are looking for may never appear again.
