When the apocalypse started 20% of the population was instantly lost. Two weeks later humanity was reduced by a further 30%, such a drastic loss left the human population with an estimate of four billion survivors worldwide. When fortresses formed “enhancers” or people who became stronger by defeating zombies and other mutations became the main combat force of humanity, but only comprised around 1% of the remaining population.

And out of the 1% only around 0.01% became “awakened”, humans who unlocked special abilities. However the time for change was coming, this event would be know as the “Human Awakening Period”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Present day: Western region (Nevada,Utah,Arizona)

The event that would trigger the human “awakening period” would begin today.

Sector 0 -

Human Stronghold, one of the three main strongholds in the western US region was located in the Las Vegas World Market Center, the building was easily fortified and became a strategic point due to its large amount of communication equipment, allowing the military to communicate with other strongholds worldwide and learn of the current world situation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Early morning

Communication center

“Hurry and make the report to the higher ups!”

“Sir, we lost contact with sector 3”

“Sir Urgent news!, Encampment three in sector four is under attack”

“Urgent news!, Sector six encampment two has been annihilated”

“Sir” “Sir” “Sir”

“Urgent news!” “Urgent news!” “Urgent news!”

The office was in constant panic, various encampments in certain sectors were either under attack, facing imminent danger, or where annihilated. Every piece of news brought great fear to every worker, anyone working here would eventually become nervous. Everyone constantly wondered about their safety, it was already guaranteed that they would be facing crisis sooner or later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sir based on the news, the undead are focusing their attacks underground, they swiftly destroy any sentries guarding the sewers and use that as an invasion point, while some encampments have successfully repelled the attacks from the sewers, other camps which completely let their guard down were destroyed withing minutes."

"According to another set of intel not many high tier undead have shown themselves…. That could only mean that…”

(Commander)“Their saving the best for us” “huh” well the national guard have stationed themselves here, however....

“Sir we have sighting on thirty Tank-Type undead heading here”

(Commander) "Send the the new 1’st Company, along with several anti-personnel vehicles to support them."

“Yes sir!”

(Commander) "Sigh" things just have to keep deteriorating.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commander's Thoughts

Even though it’s only been three weeks since this all began, the military found itself crippled and even though a lot of the equipment is still there, we are unable to recover it. The ranks have also been simplified and most of the existing titles aren't used anymore.

The current national guard is only an improvised force made up mostly of volunteers that managed to help in the salvaging of military equipment. While their abilities are low compared to professionally trained forces, almost the entire force is made up of enhancers who have killed countless undead. Their abilities could not be underestimated. Special education classes were created to train others to operate military machinery such tanks and helicopters, however their training is still clearly not enough.

We don't have a choice anymore that's why I have no choice but to put them in action now. Today is humanity's last chance, the survivors will be baptized and we might even gain some awakeners, however I know that the undead have something big planned, if we want to continue living it's going to require sacrifice.

If worst happens I will have no choice but to use that ability of mines...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile….

“Shooooooop” (IDK just pretend it's a loud explosion or something)

A large mushroom cloud bloomed in the distance, the scene repeated itself in several places worldwide, whether it was intentional or not didn't matter anymore, however seconds after the explosions took place in the cities/towns a shocking event happened, Undead began gathering in these radioactive sites.

These places where once proud monuments of humanity, prosperous rural establishments, or even modern sweatshops. However all that's left is ashen rubble and standing steel and concrete frames.

This is how the future Undead Cities began to form, becoming the breeding ground of mutations born to instill fear into all life.
