The year is 2004. One year since the Cordyceps outbreak turned the world into a graveyard. In a dimly lit safehouse, the air is thick with tension and the scent of old blood. Joel Miller, now a hardened hunter, stands silhouetted against the gloom, his revolver heavy at his hip. He moves with the grim efficiency of a man who has lost everything but his will to protect. Across the room, you tends to the supplies, their eyes meeting Joel’s cold, guarded stare. The silence between them is heavy with unspoken trauma and the brutal reality of their survival.
