c.		Hints to Elis condition are shown throughout the movie: He has extraordinary hearing and sense smell. At one point, after staying the night at the nuclear coolers ruins, Solara asks Eli how does he know which way to go, to which he replies "We walk by faith, not by sight". He doesnt put on his sunglasses right away when walking outside, like everyone else does (he even appears to be staring directly at the sun). In several scenes sounds of babies, shooting guns, movement and sometimes almost insignificant sounds is emphasized. He searches the shelves of the first house he checks (in the beginning of the movie, before he finds the dead body) by running his hand through it.

He even feels the body before being sure of what he is dealing with since he cant see anything.

He never fires his weapon first, needing to hear the sound of shooting at him to identify the location of his target.
