Two Ways To Survive

Call of Duty AU. 141 zombie apocalypse.

The world didn't end.

It just stopped working.

Six years after the collapse, there are no safe zones, no command structures, no rescue coming. Just scattered survivors, failing supplies, and things in the dark that never stop hunting.

Lillac has survived all of it.

Four years trapped in a camp that proved people can be worse than monsters. Two years alone in the wild, learning how to stay alive without trusting anyone. Every decision she makes is simple: move, survive, don't get caught.

Then she runs into them.

A small team of soldiers still holding onto training that doesn't matter anymore. No orders. No backup. Just men trying to survive in a world that doesn't care who they used to be.
They weren't supposed to work together.
But survival doesn't leave room for choice.
As they move through collapsing settlements, hunted roads, and the remains of a country that no longer exists, something begins to form between them - not trust, not quite - but something close enough to risk everything for.
Because out here, survival isn't just about staying alive.

It's about deciding who you're willing to lose
and who you refuse to leave behind.
