In a social media discussion, TheLastOfUs fans think the initial Cordyceps outbreak spread through contaminated flour in the show based on various clues from episode 1.
The Last of Us fans think they have figured out how the initial Cordyceps outbreak spread in the show. The Last of Us show begins in 2003 by following Joel , his daughter Sarah , and brother Tommy during the early days of a mass fungal infection. The series premiere has been widely praised as a faithful adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game, though it does change elements of how the Cordyceps infection is spread, mainly by not having spores as its main method of transmission.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Shortly after The Last of Us series premiere, fans appeared to quickly figure out how the initial Cordyceps outbreak spread in the show. On Reddit, anagnost made a post theorizing the outbreak was initially spread by contaminated flour based on the multiple instances in episode 1 in which Joel and Sarah incidentally avoid eating foods with flour, and therefore avoid infection.
If these multiple instances of Joel and Sarah avoiding flour isn't enough, there is another detail from The Last of Us episode 1 that supports the theory. As Joel, Sarah, and Tommy are eating breakfast, they hear on the radio that there are worsening riots in Jakarta, prompting another Reddit user to point out that this is where the world’s largest flour mill is located.
In addition to all the clues in the actual first episode, fans have also picked up on co-showrunner Craig Mazin potentially dropping a hint about the contaminated flour theory. Speaking on the official Last of Us companion podcast, Mazin mentioned dropping "little bits of breadcrumbs" throughout episode 1 for attentive viewers to pick up on.
