The situation in the Tower takes a turn for the worse, and an entire floor is shut down when an outbreak occurs that leads to many deaths, including many children.

In desperate hopes of finding Antizin, Crane and Jade attack a supply storage facility run by Rais, which was formerly a school. Surprisingly, they don't find Antizin, but plastic explosives, which they decide to steal to prevent Rais from using them in the future. As soon as they both return to Tower, Rahim tells Crane that he and a survivor named Omar are planning to bomb a nest of volatiles (extremely aggressive and dangerous creatures that only appear at night) in an abandoned building with the explosives that Jade and Crane found at school. Crane objects to this plan and forbids Rahim from carrying it out, but after finding out that Rahim ignored him and did it anyway, Crane tries to bail him out. Upon reaching him, he finds out that Omar is dead and that Rahim has a leg wound. Rahim tells Crane that he just cut himself and not to worry about him.

Thinking that Crane would not arrive in time, Rahim armed the explosives and waited for death. But when Crane arrived, Rahim handed him the explosives and told him to hurry up. Crane then carries out Rahim's plans, managing to infiltrate the building and successfully destroy the nest of volatiles. When he goes back to Rahim, he finds out that that leg wound was actually a bite and Rahim had turned while Crane was away. Rahim attacks Crane and tries to kill him, and Crane is forced to break his neck. Afterwards, Crane returns to Tower to inform Brecken of the news. Jade listens and, visibly upset, runs away and does her mission alone.

Meanwhile, a Tower scientist named Dr. Zere, who was trying to develop a cure for the virus in his research trailer, is kidnapped by Rais, causing Crane to go on a rescue mission. When he finds Zere, Crane is kidnapped by Rais too, who forces him to fight in an arena against groups of zombies including a huge monster. After the fight, Rais reveals to Crane that the file he stole contains proof that the GRE intended to sell the virus rather than develop a cure, and releases the file to the public. Crane manages to escape before being killed with moves that only someone trained would know how to do, and in the process, cuts off Rais' hand. Zere is killed in the rescue attempt, but manages to tell Crane that he turned his research over to Jade and that she was tasked with turning it over to another scientist named Dr. Camden.

As Crane searches for Jade, he discovers that the Ministry of Defense is planning to bomb Harran in an effort to completely eradicate the outbreak, claiming that there are no survivors left in the city. Crane manages to reactivate an antenna tower and broadcast a message to the outside world, thwarting the Ministry's plan. Later, when Crane goes to the game's second city, Jade is kidnapped by Rais, who also steals Dr. Zere's research. Crane manages to rescue Jade and retrieve a portion of Dr. Zere's research, but Jade reveals that she was bitten, and tells Crane to stop Rais. Jade then succumbs to the wound, forcing Crane to kill her without hesitation after she turns, breaking her neck too like he did to her brother.

After killing Tahir, Rais' right-hand man, with his own machete, Crane gives the tissue samples to Dr. Camden, who believes he is very close to finding a cure but needs the rest of Dr. Zere's research. Crane then discovers that Rais has made a deal with GRE, in which he will hand over Dr. Zere's research to them in exchange for Harran's extraction. Crane then invades Rais' headquarters (full of infected) and faces him on top of a building, just as a GRE helicopter appears. After much fighting and dialogue, Crane stabs Rais in the neck with a knife that Rais himself threw at him and throws him off the building, killing him.

In the end, Crane retrieves the research data and decides to hand it over to Dr. Camden instead of GRE, intending to stay in Harran and help the remaining survivors.
