Her observations, penned with a trembling but steady hand, were a testament to a mind wrestling with unfathomable horror, yet refusing to succumb to despair. The sheer speed at which they could move was still a shock, even after months of evading them. They weren't merely running; they were a blur of motion, their limbs pumping with an unnatural, jerky rhythm. This speed, however, came at a cost.

Her observations, penned with a trembling but steady hand, were a testament to a mind wrestling with unfathomable horror, yet refusing to succumb to despair. The sheer speed at which they could move was still a shock, even after months of evading them. They weren't merely running; they were a blur of motion, their limbs pumping with an unnatural, jerky rhythm. This speed, however, came at a cost. She had witnessed firsthand how their lack of refined motor control led to frequent stumbles, especially on uneven terrain. A stray rock, a hidden pothole these were often enough to send one of them sprawling, giving a precious few seconds for escape or, if the opportunity arose, a swift, decisive counter-attack. Their strength was equally terrifying. The way they could tear through reinforced doors or effortlessly snap bone was a stark reminder of the physical chasm between them and humanity. Yet, this brute force was largely unguided. They lacked the strategic thinking, the capacity for planning or ambush that a human would possess. Their attacks were direct, overwhelming, and predictable once one understood the basic principles of their hunger-driven aggression.

Maria had dedicated considerable time to studying their pack mentality. It wasn't true cooperation, not in the human sense of shared goals and reasoned collaboration. It was more akin to a swarm, an instinctual aggregation driven by proximity and the overwhelming scent of living prey. When one infected discovered a source of food, the others in the vicinity would converge, drawn by the commotion and the primal scent. This pack behavior, while deadly in its sheer numbers, also presented exploitable weaknesses. A well-placed diversion, a loud noise or a scent trail deliberately laid, could sometimes draw a significant portion of a group away, thinning their numbers and creating an opening. She had experimented with this, using discarded scraps of food to lure them into less advantageous positions, allowing her to slip past unnoticed or to pick off stragglers. The "pack" was only as cohesive as the immediate stimulus; disrupt that stimulus, and the unity fractured.

Their apparent lack of higher intelligence was, ironically, one of their most exploitable traits. They reacted to stimuli with an almost instantaneous, unthinking reflex. Light, sound, movement these were the triggers. They could be startled, confused, and, to a degree, manipulated. She had spent hours observing them from a safe distance, noting how they responded to sudden flashes of light, how they flinched from loud, unexpected noises, and how their attention, once fixed on a target, was difficult to dislodge without a more compelling stimulus. This single-mindedness, this primal fixation on their immediate needs, was their undoing as much as it was their primary weapon. They were creatures of instinct, stripped of reason, and it was this fundamental flaw that Maria exploited to survive.

She meticulously cataloged their sensory limitations. Their eyesight, while keen for detecting movement, seemed to struggle with static targets in low light. This explained why they often congregated in dimly lit areas and why a well-camouflaged position could provide temporary safety. Their sense of smell was, conversely, their most acute sense, a constant lure and a constant threat. It was the primary driver of their hunts, the invisible thread that bound them to their prey. However, even this was not infallible. Strong, overwhelming scents could mask or confuse their olfactory senses, a principle she had tested with pungent chemicals and makeshift smoke bombs.
