If you smell them... it's too late.
The apocalypse is upon us, and has been ravaging the world for more than 10 years already.
Kayl Richards and Bailey Degray are best friends, the only humans for miles around, in a Zombie infected world. Baily is tormented by the death of her younger sister and both parents, and Kayl is devoted to watching the back of his best friend. He himself has had his family torn apart by the Infected, and the two friends have somehow managed to stay alive for ten years of war.
But this outbreak is slowly evolving for the worst.
A bite is not the only thing that can spread the virus now.
Now, even just the smell of the Decaying flesh of the Infected can cause the disease to spread.
Baily and Kayl MUST find sanctuary soon, or else they will be killed... or turned.

THE UNDEAD (Zombie x Reader)
They're not supposed to feel. So why does this one seem... different? Zombies don't just develop feelings... not love, not empathy, not anything. They're mindless, flesh-hungry monsters driven by an unstoppable virus. No mercy, no second thoughts. Just kill or be killed. But somehow, this one isn't like the rest. (Y/N) is a lone survivor in a world overrun by the undead. Every day is a battle to stay alive, to find food, shelter, and some reason to keep going. When she stumbles upon a group of survivors, hope flickers but so does danger. Because something or someone is following her. A stalker. But not a typical one. He's infected. Dead. And yet... he seems to be obsessed with her. Protective. Territorial. Almost like he's in love. How is that even possible? Can a zombie really develop feelings or is something far darker at play? One thing's for sure is this apocalypse is about to get a whole lot bloodier. ⚠️ Warning: Contains graphic violence, blood, adult language, and some strong scenes. Reader discretion is advised.
