The small city of Millfield had always been a peaceful place. But one day, a mysterious epidemic broke out, and it snappily spread like campfire. The symptoms were intimidating- people started to act strangely, with a vacant look in their eyes and a hunger for meat. The many who survived the first surge of the epidemic set up themselves in a world full of zombies.

The townspeople did not know what to do. They tried to flee, but it was too late. The epidemic had formerly reached near municipalities, and it sounded like it was only a matter of time before the whole world was infected.

As the days passed, the number of survivors downscaled. The zombies had taken over the city, and the many survivors were forced to hide and scavenge for food. The formerly- beautiful thoroughfares of Millfield were now a wasteland of decaying structures and the reek of death.

One day, a group of survivors stumbled upon a strange structure on the outskirts of city. It was an old exploration lab that had been abandoned for times. But there was commodity strange about it- the lights were on, and there were signs of life outside.

The survivors cautiously approached the lab, their munitions at the ready. As they entered the structure, they were met with a sight that made their blood run cold wave. The lab was filled with coops, and inside them were the remains of test subjects some of them were still shuddering and writhing in agony.

They continued to explore the lab, and they soon discovered the cause of the epidemic. The scientists at the lab had been conducting trials on a new contagion, and commodity had gone horribly wrong. The contagion had shifted, and it had turned its hosts into meat- eating zombies.

The survivors realized that they had to destroy the lab and stop the contagion from spreading any farther. They set snares throughout the lab, and as they were about to crump them, they were ambuscaded by a group of zombies.

The survivors fought courageously, but they were outnumbered. They were forced to retreat, leaving the snares before. As they made their way back to city, they could hear the lab exploding in the distance. The explosion shook the ground, and they knew that they had succeeded in destroying the lab.

The survivors returned to the city, but they set up that it was too late. The contagion had spread too far, and there were too numerous zombies. They knew that they could not stay in the city any longer. They had to leave and try to find a safe place.

As they were leaving the city, they noticed commodity strange. Some of the zombies were beginning to show signs of intelligence. They were communicating with each other and sounded to be working together.

The survivors realized that the contagion was still evolving, and they had no idea what it would come coming. They knew that they had to keep moving and stay one step ahead of the contagion.

The survivors continued their trip, but they knew that they could noway let their guard down. The epidemic had turned the world into a living agony, and they did not know if they would ever be suitable to find safety again.

As the survivors moved further down from Millfield, they encountered other groups of survivors. Some were friendly, but others were hostile and attacked them on sight. They snappily learned to be conservative around other survivors and to only approach those who sounded secure.

The survivors traveled for weeks, living off the land and avoiding the major metropolises. They had heard rumors that the metropolises were overrun with zombies, and that there was no stopgap of chancing safety there.

One day, they came across a small, isolated community that had managed to forfend off the zombies. The community had erected walls around their city, and they had a system for dealing with the zombies that approached their walls. The survivors were overjoyed to find a safe place, and they were ate into the community.

For a while, life in the community was peaceful. They were suitable to grow their own food, and they had a sense of security. But soon, the survivors noticed that commodity was wrong. People in the community were beginning to show signs of the same strange geste

that they had seen in the zombies. They were getting more aggressive, and they sounded to have lost their humanity.

The survivors were frighted to realize that the contagion had ever set up its way into the community. They knew that they had to leave, but it was too late. The infected members of the community had begun to attack the others, and chaos replaced.

The survivors fought for their lives, but they were outnumbered. They knew that they had to flee, but they had nowhere to go. They were trapped in the community with the infected.

Just when all hope sounded misplaced, they were saved by a group of scientists who had been working on a cure for the contagion. The scientists had been tracking the survivors, and they had come to the community to prize them and take them to their lab.

The survivors were skeptical, but they had no other choice. They were taken to the lab, where the scientists worked lifelessly to develop a cure. After months of testing and trial, they eventually set up a way to neutralize the contagion.

The survivors were overjoyed to be cured, but they knew that they could noway forget the horror that they had endured. They made a oath to work with the scientists to find a way to help any analogous pandemics from ever passing again.

The world sluggishly began to recover from the epidemic, and life returned to a semblance of normality. But the survivors noway forgot the assignments that they had learned. They knew that they had to remain watchful and set, always ready for the coming outbreak, and always working to help it from passing.

Times passed, and the epidemic came a distant memory. The survivors went their separate ways, but they kept in touch, always keeping an eye on the news for any signs of another outbreak.

And also one day, it happed again. A new contagion began to spread, and people started to turn into zombies formerly more. But this time, the survivors were ready. They had been working lifelessly to develop new technologies and strategies to fight the contagion, and they were suitable to contain the outbreak before it came a full-bloated epidemic.

The survivors knew that the fight against the contagion would noway truly be over, but they were determined to noway let their guard down. They had seen firsthand the horrors that the epidemic could bring, and they were prepared to do whatever it took to help it from passing again.

And so they continued to work, always watchful, always set, always ready for the coming outbreak. For the survivors, it was a noway - ending battle, but they knew that they had each other, and that they would always be ready to face whatever came their way.
