In Jakarta, Indonesia, mycology professor Ibrahim Ratna was summoned to the police station.When he learned of an infection outbreak at a local flour and grain factory, he already had a sense of foreboding.Rushing to the scene, and after dissecting a body that had died from a fungal infection, his concern turned to fear.

The battle-hardened mycologist knew that this outbreak of infection was no ordinary disease.Under the microscope, those once familiar and harmless fungi have now become ferocious and terrifying. They multiply at an alarming rate and erode every living thing.Ibrahimovic knew that if action was not taken soon, the entire city, and even the country, could be plunged into this disaster.

He made a bold and extreme suggestion - bombing cities.Although this sounds almost crazy, Ibrahimovic is convinced that this is the only way to stop the spread of infection.However, the government did not adopt his suggestions, fearing that doing so would cause greater casualties and chaos.

On the other side, Joel and Tess are accompanying Ellie, a seemingly ordinary girl who hides a huge secret.She contracted the fungus but miraculously had no symptoms.They were told that Ellie's body contained immunity against the fungus and that she was the key to developing a vaccine.Joel, however, is skeptical of this claim.

The three of them traveled through the city occupied by the infected and headed towards the Capitol.Their destination is the Fireflies, a secret organization dedicated to finding solutions.However, when they arrived at the building, they found that all the Firefly members had died, and one of them even became crazy due to the infection, triggering cannibalism among the companions.

In desperation, Tess reveals that she too is infected, but Ellie's wounds begin to heal, proving that she is indeed immune.Joel had to face reality. He shot and killed a member of the Fireflies who had become infected, but accidentally triggered the fungal fibers, causing even greater chaos.

Tess understood that there was no way out for them.She decides to sacrifice herself to buy Joel and Ellie time to escape.She suggested that Joel take Ellie to find their common old acquaintances, maybe there is a glimmer of hope there.

As Joel and Ellie leave, Tess fills the entire lobby with gasoline.When the infected broke in, she ignited the gasoline and disappeared into the sea of ​​​​fire along with the horrific creatures.

Joel and Ellie continue to move forward, and their destination is getting closer.
