After Ellie stashes the tampons, she notices that there is an infected trapped under rubble. She closely inspects the infected and then takes out her knife and stabs it in the head.

3. When Ellie was under the care of the Fireflies in Boston, what type of test did they make her do daily to monitor her infection?
Say the colors of the rainbow and walk in a straight line.
Recite a poem and snap her fingers.
Spell her name and tie her shoes.
Count to ten and hold her arm out steady.
Answer: Count to ten and hold her arm out steady.
For most people that get bitten by an infected, their body totally breaks down within twenty-four hours. However, Ellie is unique in that her body did not get overtaken by the fungal infection even after being bitten three weeks ago. To monitor her infection, the leader of the Fireflies in Boston, Marlene, had Ellie count to ten and hold her arm out steady. Presumably, those that are developing a fungal infection after being bitten cannot count or hold their arm steady.

Knowing that other infected are heading toward them, Tess knocks over some gas tanks and uses her lighter to cause an explosive fire to take out as many of the infected as possible while Joel and Ellie run away

Answer: He hides in his basement.
Joel tells Ellie that most people wanted to be rescued and evacuated by the soldiers. However, if there wasn't enough room or the person was weak oftentimes they were killed instead of being brought to the QZ. Bill on the other hand did not want to be taken away by the military so he hid down in his basement when the soldiers were evacuating people. Bill had seemingly been preparing for an apocalyptic event as he had a stash of necessary supplies down in his basement.

Take whatever you need.
Ellie is the answer.
There is still hope.
Keep Tess safe.
Answer: Keep Tess safe.

2) Don't tell anyone about your condition.
3) Whatever Joel says goes.
