The beginning of the story can be found
here.
Essentially, this will be set 3 years after the events of the original.
WALL OF TEXT, GO!The Military have deployed a tactical retreat, using the
Scorched Earth strategy. While this was effective in some areas, after some time it just increased the space that the infected had to multiply. This also damaged the remaining survivors, who were trapped inside the Military's cordon. They created a Black Market, and became more like Smugglers than survivors. They would trade weapons, exotic goods and whatever else they could loot to the outside world. Noticing there was a lot of money to be made, some survivors stayed while others left. Outsiders would also sneak into the cordon, with hopes of making their share with the newly created market place. Some soldiers even deserted their army, seeing more opportunity with the survivors.
The outside world is finally showing signs of recovery. More isolated countries like New Zealand and Japan were nearly completely free, while others like Europe, America and Australia still had a long way to go. In same cases, no signs of recovery were shown. An example of no recovery is Hillside Terrace, a small industrial city. However it's strong civilian resistance showed hope, they were eventually over run and the Military ordered the city to be bombarded with artillery fire. The city, now, is completely destroyed. Most were killed in the bombardment, however some managed to escape to the marshy outskirts, along Highway 22.
A small group of survivors found a Vehicle Checkpoint that had been abandoned in the Military's retreat. It's location was central, between Highway 22 and Wild Territory. The facilities were in an alright condition, and one of three generators were still working. Thus, the survivors settled here and made it their base. They re-furbished, adding their homely touches. They barricaded certain areas to make good fall-back points. They rolled out mattresses, sleeping bags and tents. They set themselves up for good, feeling that this is probably the last place in Hillside Terrace where they won't get mauled or shot.
They had set up their home, and prayed the best however fearing the worst...
