The End of Humanity Is Only the Beginning

Among them are Lance and Rachel, who soon discover something far more disturbing than the plague itself.
Mysterious black figures begin appearing and carrying away the bodies of the dead. As Lance and Rachel investigate, they discover that these creatures are conducting horrifying experiments on their victims.
Rather than simply trying to survive, the two decide to fight back.
Their mission takes them on a dangerous journey as they attempt to confront the leader of the creatures before the last remnants of humanity disappear forever.
