Extinction Quote by S. Johnathan Davis
““We had everything, and our arrogance took it away from us. When the world fell to shit, our lives fell right with it. The dead roam the landscape while Man fights over what little we have left. It wasn’t the strongest or the most intelligent of us that survived. It was the ones most willing to adapt to the new rules of the world. No matter how hard we tried to avoid it, those still alive have all lost a little humanity. The Zs may have kick-started our extinction…but we’ll be the ones that finish it. In the end, Mankind has turned out to be the real plague. ””
