32 parts Complete A Modern Filipino Zombie Outbreak Novel
The disease doesn't care about traffic. The infection doesn't distinguish between privilege and poverty. In a country built on chaos, a hyper-aggressive plague turns Bayanihan into brutal survival.
The end of the world begins with a simple, frantic touch. It's called the Pindot Plague-a fast-acting, rage-inducing virus that strips the infected of their humanity, turning them into lightning-fast predators known as the Naka-Pindot. And it's spreading like wildfire across Metro Manila.
Caught between the initial gridlock of EDSA and the concrete jungle of Quezon City is a diverse barkada (friend group) of eight teenagers. They aren't soldiers, heroes, or experts-they are just high school seniors with fragmented knowledge and deep-seated loyalties.
There's Marvin, the meticulous strategist whose medical ambition is now a terrifying reality.
Lia, the pragmatic nursing student who struggles to treat wounds she barely understands.
Jelo, the tech-savvy gamer whose only viable weapon is his ability to bypass the city's failed systems.
And Samira, the street-smart survivor who knows how to navigate the city's hidden alleys better than any map.
As their safe havens fall one by one-from abandoned malls to high-rise condos-the barkada must make a desperate trek across Luzon toward an rumored evacuation point. They face not only the unrelenting hordes of the Naka-Pindot, but the brutal realities of a society that has instantly devolved: corrupt officials, desperate looters, and the constant threat of disinformation spreading faster than the plague itself.
In a world where the only rule is to survive, their greatest struggle won't be against the monsters outside, but against the erosion of trust, hope, and their own humanity within the group.
In the chaos of Peste, the barkada will learn that the true Filipino horror isn't the folklore of the past, but the impossible choices of the present.
