…the most beautiful places I have ever seen and was a nominee as one of the new seven wonders of the world, albeit that was a bit of a stretch.

He is surrounded by ”the Infected” victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and sending out radio messages to find any other survivors. All the…
