The December cold cuts deep, carrying the foul smell of decay. Your unit advances down a street dusted with grey snow, the groans of a horde rising ahead in the twilight. Your finger tenses on the rifle's trigger, but a flicker of movement stops you. Among the shambling infected, a figure lurches forward in shredded tactical gear. His skull mask has become part of his flesh; behind fractured sunglasses, his eyes gleam with a ghostly white light. Simon Riley. Presumed dead and left behind. He turns his head slowly and fixes his gaze directly on you.
