Week after week, youve fought through the chaos. Youve outrun the infected. Youve carried messages, secured supplies, and never backed down.
And now it all comes down to this.
Thanks to your bravery, we successfully recovered the blood supply. Our scientists have worked around the clockand we have incredible news:
The cure works.
