The Story After a terrible science project at a local high school goes terribly wrong, an infective disease begins to spread across the entire school and the local area. Those who came in contact with the disease became hungry and the only thing that can fulfill their hunger was the flesh of the uninfected. After just 1 day into the break out, more than half the city was already infected, and now the government has decided to send in their best to try to contain this out break. However, they did not understand just how bad the situation has become, and their best now is fighting for their own survival. Unable to contact head quarters or anyone else out there, they have no other choice not but to stand and fight. They will kill as many of these infected as they can before the end.
