Crisis of Devastation

"The year is Early 2026 Tensions snapped across the world as the world's nuclear arsenals are launched.
The U.S. government launched Operation Salvation opening old Cold war nuclear bunkers and the new top secret bunker system across the United States of America, The state of Alaska, the Philippines and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico which are high tech geothermal powered bunkers called the Ark System which are connected by underground tunnels.
Once the bunkers are filled to maximum capacity they can hold they are closed and sealed shut to those on the surface.
Those on the surface had to find shelter elsewhere making makeshift shelters in basements, storm shelters, underground parking garages or metro stations sealing them off best they can.
The bombs hit hard devastating the surface and changing the landscape. Those still on the surface would die in the blasts or later from the radiation if they stayed close to the impact zones.
In the following years Earth began to slowly recover with every mutating due to radiation changing everything.
Those in the cold war bunkers when the supplies ran out began to return to the surface to see a different world working with the surface dwellers to try to create new civilizations dealing with not just regular human raiders but mutants and ghouls as well.
Those in the arks was placed in cryobed pods to sleep awaiting for the time when they can rejoin a rebuilt world."
