As the Archer left the bunker, he wasn’t alone. It was watching him leave. It was standing outside of a 10-foot tall fence topped with razor wire that surrounded the bunker opening. As the Archer unlocked the gate, It watched him as closely as possible, without being seen.

Now, you may be wondering why It wouldn’t want to be seen. It was a Ghoul, a victim of a ravaging disease that made everyone infected with it turned into a zombie.

It just happened to be a relatively inteligent Ghoul, so it was able to recognize that the arrows that the Archer carried had tips that were coated in the one thing that would kill a Ghoul: Panavac. Panavac was a chemical that would cure pretty much any disease as long as the heart was beating.

Even though the Ghoul was so inteligent, It realized that he couldn’t operate the lock, seeing that he had lost 3 fingers on each hand. He decided that he would just follow Archer to see if he might create a companion.
