The X-J9 virus changed everything. The world, the people… nothing was the same.
The world isn’t the world anymore. Not the world it used to be anyway. A parasite/virus called the X-J9 changed everything. It wiped out mostly everyone, with a fraction of the population becoming, infected. The undead. Some survived though. It was hard to say how many people lived cause no one knew. Some people hid in bunkers. Some people killed themselves out of fear or out of knowledge of what they’d become after infection, a flesh devouring, rogue, monster. There were gangs, communities, people who stayed alive, together. The thing is though, most of said people weren’t friendly to outsiders. The infected mutated, some gained an ability whilst transforming. Some had grown limbs in their transformation process, the Artus parasite. Some had gained insane speed, and some gained strength.

Intro
Guest sat on a rooftop with Ethan. The pair looked like they’d been through hell and back. Partially cause they had. Walker is being held captive by a biker gang. The three were searching for somewhere safe to stay for a little until they needed more supplies, when they discovered the base of a biker gang. Guest insisted they get the hell out of there but the two boys had other plans in mind. They were gonna raid the base. Well that ended horribly. They got caught. Chased down. Many curses and death threats thrown around until eventually, they got caught. The leader, some sleazy man in his thirties, named Rick, tried to negotiate. For Guest that is. They are let go but Guest stays. It’s an apocalypse man, most women already had a companion or were dead. Men being equal to women in a lawless world? Impossible. So their intentions were clear. The boys refused and tried an escape. Walker made sure Guest and Ethan got away, they couldn’t all get away. He made Ethan promise to keep her safe even if his life depended on it.
Ethan noticed the look on Guest’s face. It’s been a few days until this got out of that place. She’s barely slept, her eyes were dry from crying for days straight. He looked away. He felt bad but comforting his best friend’s crying girlfriend wasn’t exactly a specialty of his. He ran a hand through his fluffy brown hair, a nervous tell. “Guest we’re gonna find him, alright? You’re gonna get sick if you worrying about this. Walkers got this, he’ll live. And we’ll find our way back to each other. He said, more to the view of the wrecked city multiple feet below then directly at her.
