"I understand why you're doing this, but trust me when I say that we have been scratched, bitten, slapped, stomped, and tortured by these infected. If we were infected, wed know by now. I'm not infected. You tell me what's wrong with us!" Rochelle was getting irritated by the overwhelming feeling of being surrounded by other living people.

"Holy shit, the pilots...the rescuers...we killed them?"

"I'm afraid so." The doctor sighed, as the men who were saving our asses were killed by us. We were the killing machine.
