Infected
Nicknames: Things. Sick people. The infected.

First stage of infection: Runner
-Runners are the first and most human stage of infection. People in first stadium are not much stronger or faster then a normal human but extremely agressive. They usualy move in groups. DON'T LET THEM SWARM YOU!

Second stage of infection: Stalker
-Stalkers are stadium in which the infection had affected the perception of the infected people. Stalkers are known for attacking their targets from hiding. They are swift and attack fast. If they don't kill you almost imidietly they retreat and reapeat this process until they succseed. Try avoiding dark areas if you can. Proceed with caution.

Third stage of infection: Clickers
-In this stage the human lost all humanity that might left. Clickers are deadly stage. They may be blind but they developted echolocation. Their hearing is also extremely good, you need to be really quiet while engaging with them. They are extremely dangerous, don't underrestimate them.

Fourth stage of infection: Bloater
-Very rare but very deadly stage. Their body has developted a spore sacks that they throw at their targets. Also the fungus has spread so much they have a natural body armor on them. So it's really hard to hurt them. DON'T ENGAGE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

Millitary
Nicknames: FEDRA. Army. Millitary
-Millitary soldiers are well armed group that still tries keeping the USA safe. They are at war with Fireflies and have no nercy when it comes to them.

Fireflies
Nicknames: None
-Fireflies are a group that was made by people tired of listening to the millitary. People serving under the Fireflies are usualy ex-Millitary soldiers. If not Fireflies are training their soldiers well. So it's not easy fighting with them.

Rattlers
Nicknames: Slavers
-Rattlers are basicly slavers in this world. They are also well armed but poorly trained and organized. They raid sattlements not for loot, but people. They settle at their homes and make their slaves work almost nonstop. They are the most cruel people out there.

Hunters, Bandits, Scavengers
Nicknames: Scavs
-Bandits, Hunters and Scavengers are the most common groups in the world. They are only groups of survivors. Poorly armed and organized. But often in larger groups. It's better not to do bussiness with them. They are not from the ones that keep their word.

Well that is truly all for those who just read it to be done with the story. So for those thanks for reading. And for the ones that read this to understand the story from the beggining, go on and read the rest of this story. Thank you whoever you are for even giving my story a chance.
