Mission Briefing

We found out the hard way
scientists make mistakes.

The outbreak couldnt be contained.
The city has fallen.
Communication is limited.
And now survival is all that matters.

We need YOU.

You are no longer just runners
you are leaders of the last survivors.

Form groups. Stick together.
Your chances of survival increase as a team.

warning Remember the first rule of the zombie apocalypse:
Zombies hate cardio.

So run. Run fast. And dont stop.


Your Mission
Our remaining medical team is working tirelessly to develop a cure
but weve hit a critical problem:

There is a severe blood shortage.

Without it, the cure cannot be completed.
Without it there is no saving whats left.

Your objective is to:

right arrow Travel through the infected zones
right arrow Avoid or outrun the infected
right arrow Locate and secure the remaining blood supply
right arrow Deliver it safely to headquarters

Every second counts.


warning Final Warning
The infected are everywhere.
Some are fast. Some are relentless.
All of them are hungry.

Stay together.
Protect your team.
And whatever you do

dont get caught.

to save what remains of humanity.
