Humanity has always overturned the bad events that have happened to them in the past. Natural disasters, diseases, hunger, prosperity, and many more problems that have risen in the past. Humans succeed at anything they try for, and when they do, its such a huge morale boost to the world when something is done right, like when the first man set foot on the moon. Yes, it was in America and the American president made this his dream, but it was a global success.
Humanity usually finds a way to surpass something that could possibly destroy the world and all the effort put into it to make it the way it is today.
Now, a disease spreads once more, worse than any other plague humans have ever faced. It doesn't just kill. No. It goes beyond destroying the memories and souls of the humans, and brings them back to such a demonic state. They turn into mindless zombies, who stagger and lurch in the streets and feed off of the living.
Doctors have tried to find cures, but most think it is a waste of time and believe everyone should just accept what is happening and give up and get eaten. Not you. Not your organization. Or what it used to be.
You were a lab assistant for a company that was called NecroBorgia Labs. Its a corny name, and you never really thought you belonged there, but you ended up there anyways. They had maybe 100,000 workers there, and they all were always trying to create a vaccine. You thought they were stupid for creating it, and asked them why they made it, but they always told you that you and the rest of humanity needed it one day. You thought it was a ridiculous thought, but you never questioned any more after they told you that. Its not like you cared, you were getting payed $700 an hour just for standing around and making sure people didn't blow up in your face after they drink or inject a vaccine. But now you know exactly why they told you about the vaccine and why it would save humanity.
Here you are, standing in the middle of an empty apartment. You have no items, no friends you know who are alive, and no idea what to do next... or do you?

"It's very nice to meet you, Sarah. Now, let's get on our way." We unbarricade one door, leave and shut it, then head over to the grocery store and try to climb over, provided the carpet is still there.

You head to the apartments. You enter one room, and search everywhere. You don't find anything useful, and as your about to leave, you hear a zombie behind you. It attacks you, biting you in your shoulder. You turn around, and push it away from you. How will you fight it?

The door opens, and you and Sarah step inside. "Welcome ba- oh... Sarah?" The beautiful woman is shocked. "Mom!" Sarah runs to her mom, and hugs her tightly. Now that you think about it, you can see that Sarah is quite beautiful herself. She has her moms looks. They make up, have a long conversation, and Sarah thanks you. She wants to stay with her mom in the grocery store. You can try to convince her and her mom to come with you on the journey to safety, and maybe the two big goons that protect her.

"I'm glad you two are reunited now, but there's something I need to talk to you all about. As has been said, you are all low on food and weapons. You can't all stay out here forever. Now, it's nearly impossible that every city and fortress in the world are gone, and supplies can still be found in houses and other buildings. If we all leave together, I believe we can survive and find a stronghold with other survivors and food. Along the way, we'll be able to find more weapons and food."

Sarah's mom counters with,"Well, there is a fortress that is safe and that people are staying and surviving there. We can go there..." It sounds like you convinced them. They are now following you, and all their supplies became yours.

"Exactly my point. Since zombies don't seem to have any nightly disadvantages, I suggest we sleep the night here, then get going tomorrow. Provided that is alright with everyone?"
