Warning: Major spoilers ahead for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us episode 2! Turn back now if you haven't seen the latest episode yet! 

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cordyceps infection wreaked havoc in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last Us's premiere, all but destroying civilization and turning its unfortunate victims into zombie-like creatures wh꧃ose only goal is to spread the sickness far and wide. But, where exactly the outbreak started was left a mystery – and episode 2 has finally filled in the blanks. 

In a flashback at the beginning of the second episode, we learn more about the very early days of the pandemic. A mycologist in Indonesia is taken to a high security facility to investigate a deceased victim of Cordyceps and is told that the mysterious illness beౠgan at a flour fact🍃ory. 

That ties in with a popular fan theory tha꧑t flour is the cause of th♔e spread, after viewers noticed that Joel and his daughter Sarah conspicuously avoid eating anything that contains the foodstuff: Joel♒ forgets a birthday cake, they don't have pancakes for breakfast, and they both turn down their neighbors' cookies. 

When asked by about the theory, co-show🤡runners Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin confirmed its accuracy. "I think it's pre🧸tty explicit," Mazin said, with Druckmann agreeing: "Yeah, we pretty much said yes." 

Added Mazin: "When she talks about where these people worked and what was going on in that factory – yeah, it's pretty clear that's what's going on. We liked the idea of that science, and we try as best we can to make sure that our 🗹research all connects. [The mycologist] asks where it happened, and the guy says a flour factory on the west side of the city. We are absolutely talking about – there is the world's largest flour mill in Jakarta – so that's a fine theory and I think people should keep running with it."

Druckmann also explainไed that they were careful not to reveal too much, however. "Everything we saw in the game was from three characters' perspജective – [Joel's daughter] Sarah, Joel and Ellie, that's it. Here, we have the ability leave those characters and show some other stuff, but it was always important to never say, 'Okay, here is patient zero, the exact origin,'" he said.

"A lot of it is based on hints. Craig would come to me with his millions of questions, like 'How did this thing spread?' We had one hint in the game, in the newspaper you pick up as Sarah, where it implies that there were contaminated products," Druckmann continued. "We ta🔯lked about: How would this spread? Where would it start? We're revealing more and more from the first episode, where we gave hints of things that would have turned out very different for the Millers had they made those pꦕancakes. Now, we get to see a bit more of how this thing started."

The Last of Us episode 2 confirmed that no one is safe from Cor🗹dyceps: Tess was infected and sacrificed herself in 🐈a heart breaking moment, which means Joel and Ellie now must complete their journey alone.
