☠ "Viral Reads" list pick on WattZombie. 

A woman with rare immunity and an AWOL troubled soldier struggle to keep her secret from those who would exploit her in a tyrannical, zombie-ridden world.

As the colony they seek refuge in keeps the dead at bay, other survivor groups ready to fight those within for the last remaining safe territories in the south.

A disturbing cult moves in, lead by a serial killer from the old world. His distorted religious beliefs and those of his followers claim him as the savior of the new world, where only the purest of souls are deemed to live under his reign.

Another group of mismatched survivors harbors a school-shooting survivor who will stop at nothing to ensure her friends see the next sunrise. Their own leader, an exile from the colony, seeks his revenge on the colony's current barbaric ruler, Russell Wolfe, and to take all he holds dear.

As allies and enemies shift and form, only one thing is certain-the dead are coming for them all.

WalkerZ - A Zombie Apocalypse Story by TheOrangutan

As a scout for what remains of the government in a post-outbreak world, Merryn is sent to investigate an old naval supply depot in a nearby city but finds so much more than zombies. ***** A year after a virus leaves the world infested with shambling zombies, those who remain attempt to rebuild a shattered country. Supported by her friends and colleagues, Merryn forges a path through the post virus landscape, finding other survivors, and searching for anything that could help everyone survive. The best and worst of humanity still live, but things take a turn as nature plays another card: a young woman could be the key to everyone's survival as one variant after another changes the behaviour of the walkers, once again threatening the scattered remnants of humanity as they teeter on the brink of extinction.

Hunted || Wesari by Smosh_Fanfics

After a bomb was dropped on New York City, WWIII began. In retaliation, the American Government unleashed a plague onto their enemies. Transferred through bites, this virus turned people into mindless creatures whose only goal was to bite survivors. When the virus spread much farther than the Americans intended it too, the world fell into anarchy. And so the zombie apocalypse began. Wesley Johnson has somehow remained alive. With the help of his friend, David, he managed to find a survival group. Things were looking good for him... until a failed mission killed his girlfriend and earned him a bite. He was sure he was going to die. But when the virus doesn't start to spread, Wesley learns something dangerous; that he's immune. To make matters worse, the gang that his group is indebted to demands that they hand him over, as their leader is a firm believer that if you drink the blood of an immune, you become one yourself. Wes barely manages to escape. Finding himself alone in the wilderness, with no supplies, Wes doubts he'll be able to survive... especially after he learns that a certain purple-haired woman is hunting him. Cover by @shipperson

Rise of the Dead by GeorgiaMD2000

We don't choose to die, we're designed too. It was just never the creator's plan for the dead to rise again. Zombies were the characters in our nightmares, the actors in our films and the taboo we'd all secretly admired. Never did we imagine they'd become our reality. Now every day is a battle for survival, a fight against the dead that seems to be creeping ever closer. We don't choose to die. We're designed too. * This story follows a small group of teens in a race for survival against the infected, with death, disease and the unshakable feeling that they're being stalked- life just got a whole lot harder.

What Lasts in Us by monstrousbeauty

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.
