After further testing of the Cordyceps fungus by the mysterious science organization Scorpion-7, the fungus was released to the public through exposure to spores.
The first set of spores were released through the ventilation system of a popular diner in Atlanta. Victims were reported to have extremely aggressive behavior. What initially was reported as riots was actually a national pandemic of a zombie-like disease. After spreading to the majority of the east coast, including the states Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida, Alabama, Virginia, and West Virginia, the disease was quickly quarantined and what was believed to be the rest of the scientists from Scorpion-7 were arrested and executed. After a recent breakthrough of the quarantine borders by a horde of Cordyceps victims, the disease spread to the rest of the country.
At first, it was only in the cities. People living in rural areas were required to evacuate immediately after multiple reports of people that worked in the cities attacking local farmers. What followed was massive traffic on the highways. After a huge gas explosion in Cheyenne, the death toll raised significantly. Cordyceps patients broke out of hospitals and started attacking people in their cars.
Northern Wyoming is the only part of the state that the country has recaptured and cleared out spores. The entire territory has recently been placed under martial law. Rations are at an all time low as winter draws near. More protests and riots against the military continue as more executions of alleged Cordyceps victims happen. An organization identifying themselves as the Purebloods have claimed that they have found the cure for Cordyceps, as well as claiming responsiblity for both previous attacks on the borders. The execution of 6 more alleged Purebloods follows.
--Pureblood Rebellion--
In 2032, the Purebloods launched a large attack on the West End District. After wiping out the guards there, they pushed towards Longstead Harbor. They destroyed all of the US military's supplies and vehicles. After the US's surrender, all of the known soldiers were executed. The Purebloods then took control over the settlements.
They promised to treat the people better.
Winter soon came after and the lack of food made most die of starvation. More rebellions popped up and overthrew the starving Purebloods. Since Cordyceps victims don't know how to reproduce, most died out of age or lack of sufficient food. There are noticeably less zombies.
--Resettlement--
Leaders rose up to their position and led the people out of the US into Canada. Some stayed. Some went back. Some went to Prince Edward Island, a very diverse environment where they could live and prosper. Small manmade settlements popped up on PEI. Some dislike each other, and some allied with each other. The rise of settlement militias meant protection for people.
It is now the year 2035.
