It's the 80's. You're sitting in your bed, reading a cheesy book, or listening to music, paying no attention to what's happening in the outside world. Suddenly, a feeling you've never had before, a feeling of you-know-something-is-wrong-but-
you-don't-know-what is now drawing your attention from your book or music and you move your body to the window, where outside in the distance houses are rubble, there are fires engulfing all and everything, anything. You had a good idea now of what the feeling was.
A nuke had just dropped.
Before you could react, you were gone too.
This was the reality of the people. Every country Bombed, Nuked, Whatever you wanted to call it. The bombs contained a poisonous gas, radiating the air and making the world uninhabitable on the surface. Your only choice; To stay in a bunker. The only problem being supplies eventually running out.
Not many survivors, not much food, not much life. If you survived, you wish you hadn't. Even better, a new species arose from the rubble. "Hell Crawlers" The Survivors called them.
They came from the depths, presumably the core of the Earth, feeding on it. But they have a new taste for something. The Survivors. The "Remainers".

Season 4 of The Virus Within
Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again.
When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
