The Last of Us's plot is mainly played in 2033, two decades after a mutated Cordyceps fungus infected 60 percent of the world’s population and turned into changing cannibals. After the collapse of the government, the military controls the quarantine zones inhabited by most survivors. The Fireflies Group rejects the violent and totalitarian police state and runs a guerrilla campaign against the US military.
