Ellie Williams, played by Bella Ramseycould be the key to saving the world. Inside The Last of Us For the first time, the world was devastated in 2003 by Cordyceps infection, a mind-controlling infection caused by a fungus that invades the host’s brain. Humans cannot escape the wrath of the infection. Twenty years later, the world is a shell of what it once was.
Civilization has been decimated by Cordyceps infection and the subsequent global pandemic. Uninfected survivors are kept in licensed quarantine zones. There is no cure or vaccine available even after all this time. When a child shows up in one of the quarantine zones, the child is euthanized when the agents discover that he is infected.
Marlene tells Ellie (merle dandruff), leader of the Fireflies, who has a “greater purpose” than anyone could imagine. Ellie is revealed to be immune to the Cordyceps infection. At the end of the first episode, Ellie reveals that she was bitten by one of her infected weeks ago and that she didn’t get sick.
Why is Ellie immune?
The answer to why Ellie is immune has yet to be fully explained on the show. Ellie was born in 2019, when Cordyceps infection had already spread around the world. The Last of Us The series begins in 2033 after brief flashbacks to 1968 and 2003.
Ellie may have been exposed to Cordyceps infection in vitro, and this is what led to her becoming immune. Ellie’s mother Anna, played by Ashley Johnson in the HBO series, he died shortly after Ellie was born. Anna is never seen in the game, but she will be introduced in the show. bad dogs Neil Druckmannwho created it The Last of Ussaid news week, “There was a story I wrote after the game came out, about Ellie’s mom, that was going to be done that way, and then it fell apart, so it was always on a shelf.” Getting a little bit of Anna’s backstory can give you an idea of just how immune Ellie is.
After her mother’s death, Ellie is placed in foster care within a Boston quarantine zone. Ellie befriends Riley, who will be played by storm reid. While escaping one night, Ellie and Riley are bitten by one of the infected. While Riley dies of the infection, Ellie survives. However, she still has a scar where she was bitten (as seen in the premiere) and she continues to test positive for the infection despite not being ill.
news week he also pointed to a clue about Ellie’s immunity in the game’s epilogue. Players can find a “Surgeon Recorder” which reveals Ellie’s condition to be “an anomaly the scientists had never seen before in any of their previous subjects”.
Ellie’s immunity could be very simple: she could have been born immune. Regardless of how immune you became, you are the most important person in the world. The Last of Us world. That’s why Joel (Pedro Pasqual) ends up trying to bring her to Salt Lake City to researchers who want to try and find a cure or vaccine.
How did the infection spread?
The Last of Us The series also did not explain the origin of the Cordyceps infection. However, game pot There is an interesting theory as to how the fungal infection first spread. In the premiere during the 2003 portion of the episode, Sarah originally made pancakes for breakfast, but they were out of flour.
As Joel and Sarah go out for the day, their neighbor offers them cookies while feeding her elderly mother. Joel and Sarah politely decline the offer. After school, Sarah goes to the neighbor’s house to bake cookies. Sarah doesn’t eat the cookies because they aren’t chocolate chip cookies. When Joel gets home from work, he realizes he forgot to pick up his birthday cake.
The result indicates that the “common ingredient” in all of these foods is flour. At breakfast the news is about trouble in Jakarta. Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is home to the largest mill in the world. Contaminated flour is “probably the cause of Cordyceps infection”.
Cordyceps infection has four stages: runner, stalker, clicker, and bloat. As the infection progresses in the host’s body, they become more dangerous. When the infected die, the fungus continues to grow and spread wherever the corpse is.
The first episode begins with a flashback to 1968, when an epidemiologist warned about the dangers of mushrooms. He said there are some “mushrooms that are not meant to kill but to control” and “mushrooms can alter our minds.”
At the time, fungi could not survive in humans. However, the epidemiologist noted that if the world “warms up a bit,” mushrooms could adapt. He says some fungi, including Cordyceps, may “be able to penetrate our brains and take over not millions of us, but billions of us. Billions of puppets with poisoned minds permanently obsessed with one unifying goal: to spread the infection to the last living human being by any means necessary.”
He added: “And there is no cure for it. No estimates, no cures. They do not exist. It’s not even possible to make them.” His words were almost like a premonition. Just 35 years later, mushrooms would be the cause of the destruction of the world.
as far as The Last of Us The series reveals that the reason behind Ellie’s immunity will remain a mystery. Keep on with the theories! The Last of Us airs Sundays on HBO.
