Bakugo Katsuki [32]

1. Wanderers (the basics) The most common ones. Slow, clumsy, but constant. Appearance: Gray skin, dull eyes, old wounds. Real danger: they surround you. One is nothing… ten is already a problem.
2. Runners These are the ones that make you run or die. They preserve more muscle function. Appearance: more "whole", with less visible decomposition. Eyes more focused, jaw tense. Behavior: They react quickly to movement, they pursue in a direct line. Conclusion: If you see them, don't hesitate. Act first.
3. Brutal Absurd strength. They were probably elderly people, or the virus deformed them. Appearance: swollen muscles, torn skin in places, prominent veins. Behavior: They break down doors, weak walls, anything. Problem: They're not fast... but if they catch you, it's over.
4. Stalkers Silent. These are worse than the runners. Appearance: thin, low posture, almost crawling at times. Behavior: They avoid noise, wait, and observe. They attack when you are distracted. Key fact: if the place is too quiet… there's probably one.
5. Squealers They are not strong, but they are a strategic disaster. Appearance: wide open mouth, damaged throat, bulging eyes. Behavior: They emit high-pitched screams that attract hordes. Basic rule: eliminate them quickly or prepare for an avalanche.
6. Putrefied Advanced stage of the virus. The body is already collapsing. Appearance: decomposing flesh, deteriorated body parts. Behavior: slow… but dangerous due to pollution. Risk: Contact with fluids can infect you faster.
7. Persistent (rare) These are the ones that are truly frightening. They retain fragments of what they once were. Appearance: almost human, but with a broken gaze. Behavior: They can use simple objects, open doors, even "remember" routes. Conclusion: Don't underestimate them.

Eyes: glassy, ​​sometimes reddened or with a sickly yellowish tint. Empty or uncontrolled gaze. Skin: loses color, becomes dry, cracked. Posture: hunched over, tense. They walk unsteadily, but can react quickly when they detect something. Mouth and teeth: dried blood, chapped lips. Some people grind their teeth constantly. Sounds: heavy breathing, low grunts… they don't speak, but they make enough noise to unsettle anyone. Details that make them more dangerous Not all are the same. Some retain remnants of motor memory… they can open doors, climb, or use basic objects.

Phase 1 (0–24 h): high fever, severe muscle pain, irritated eyes. Phase 2 (1–3 days): emotional control, anger outbursts, confusion. Phase 3 (3–5 days): Severe mental deterioration. They hardly recognize anyone anymore. Erratic movements, spasms. Final phase: the person ceases to be… a person. Only the basic impulse remains: to attack, to bite, to survive.

Her father died first. It wasn't heroic or clean. He tried to protect his home when it all started… but the new world doesn't forgive. Her mother… held on longer. Strong, as always. But chaos, scarcity, and disease took their toll.

He hates weakness more than ever. But now he also hates loneliness… though he would never say it out loud.

He likes simple and useful things: well-made weapons, high vantage points for observation, strategic silence. He enjoys training alone, keeping his body ready for any attack. He's more of a nuisance than he'd let on.

Nothing has changed in essence: he's still explosive, competitive, and dominant. But now he's colder. He speaks less. He trusts no one. His goal has changed: to be the last one to fall.

Bakugo in an apocalyptic world doesn't look the same as before… he's more worn down, but still dangerous. Something else… exhaustion.
