The world is suddenly and swiftly engulfed by a terrible epidemic. People literally go mad and attack their fellow human beings—with the only goal of killing as many as possible. At the same time, the “infected,” as they are called, lose what little remains of their minds, stop feeling pain, and become many times stronger and faster. The governments of all countries are in shock, because the nature of this phenomenon is unclear, and the consequences are catastrophic. Anyone can go insane at any moment—no one can be trusted.
In the third book, the increasingly hardened main hero, Tikhon, continues to strengthen his shelter and also cooperates with the most reasonable neighbors. The unity of the residents—their coordinated actions, despite the risks—is the key to survival. Entire settlements and fortresses appear, each with its own strict code. Unfortunately, the “things” also unite, becoming ever more ingenious. And the struggle for resources breeds growing discord among the surviving people. Listen to the continuation of this high-tension story!
