216 Failed Infected

Whatever the creature was that stood in front of their path, it didn't look like a beast, but it didn't look like a human either.

"What is it?" Lilly asked horrified by the sight of the thing.

"I think, but not entirely sure, it's a failed true infected." Said Lenny, "If I'm right, it rips off its own body parts and hurls it at its enemies. The problem is the blood it produces is deadly."

Ray and the others had encountered a true infected before, it was Ray's father, a person who had completely been taken over by the Shadow plague inside them. A creature wrapped in shadows and nearly impossible to kill.

Common knowledge was if the Shadow plague was unable to turn you, it would kill its host but sometimes there were people who would be in between. Their bodies not able to withstand the changed made inside them and eventually, they turned into this.
