Humanity is finally starting to settle down and technological advancements have vastly improved life as we know it. A new species has started to arise through unknown means and locations, and, while some are okay with it, others aren't, and now war is looming over everyone's head. A terrorist group started bombing countries and making it look another country. Soon everyone started blaming everyone leading to war without purpose, and it ends with nuclear war wiping out almost everything, and during this, a group of people with intentions of causing global level disaster as an insane attempt to end the war, along with everyone else. They planned on detonating a very large nuclear device in the north and south pole while the countries were weak to start the next ice age. Now everyone on earth who's left are suffering from the extreme cold and whatever lurks in it. This is my first story so support and suggestions are appreciated.

The ice deep in the north has melted to reveal a new world hidden under the ice. It holds vegetation and animals that seem unworldly when compared to ours, but hidden in the deepest part of this world is another cave with the oldest surviving strains of an ancient bacteria capable of taking host of dead creatures and reanimating them into beasts worse than before. This strain had grown weak over the ages and was nearly extinct, but the human immune system, never being exposed to this, caused the strain to thrive inside its new unexpecting host and spreads out to the world. It starts small, just a speck on the hands of a few people, but soon, it spreads to door handles, pens, books, chairs, things like that. It continues spreading and now has infected its first corpse, the remains of an ant. This new creature comes and spreads to that ant's nest and then to the animals that eat them. Before less than a month passed, the virus had spread to a graveyard in the hidden grottos of the Yukon. This virus, now able to think from the new minds of fresh bodies, can strategize. In only another week, the epidemic had spread to the northern edge of the United States. Spreading further and further in, people began to notice this strange happening. From people disappearing to entire towns popping out of existence, the bacteria continued to spread. To keep order, the governments had those who disappeared erased from existence, but it wasn't enough. The takeover of those long gone happened in less than three weeks and society collapsed. Spreading overseas, it began its removal of life in Europe, but that's a story for another day. We now come to those few remaining settlements in the collapsed U.S, now called The Crumbled Land. What does this new land hold hidden deep in the remnants of its former glory?
