Heartland Collapse, An Undead Nightmare The Horizon Fell, The Dead Rose. “In the end, it wasn’t the virus that killed us, it was what we became because of it.” The Beginning of the End It began in Knoxville, Tennessee. Deep beneath the Appalachians, a team led by Dr. Emily Carter uncovered HZ-21, an ancient virus hidden in bat guano from uncharted cave systems. HZ-21 held promise, rapid mutation, pathogen adaptation, even potential for a universal vaccine. But hope quickly turned to horror. Containment failed. The virus spread fast. It didn’t just kill, it changed people. Cities collapsed. Screams replaced sirens. The government fell. Martial law came too late. Two years later, America’s heartland lies in ruin. The dead walk. The infected evolve. Humanity survives in scattered pockets. In this nightmare, survival is just the beginning.
