This is where i’ll dump the lore for my series.
In 2032, America’s desperate attempt to rebuild itself into a utopian society under decentralized, people-driven governance collapsed catastrophically when a devastating virus called C-40B unleashed a zombie outbreak. By 2042, only 100,000 survivors remain, scattered across fractured regions that once promised hope but now hide ruin, violence, and despair. Amid mutated infected hordes and ruthless bandits, a shadowy authoritarian Big Brother-esque regime known as The Council controls the last safe enclaves, trading freedom for security while humanity’s fragile remnants fight to reclaim their future or simply survive another day.
