It is July of 2007, the world is in chaos, Zombies have appeared on all around the world and are threatening the existence of humanity. You are a survivor, take up arms, join together, fight the living dead, and most importantly, survive.
Zombies, What they are.
Zombies are the creation of the virus "Solanum" The virus is said to be neither waterborne or airborne; the only way to become infected is through direct fluidic contact, in which context the virus is 100% communicable, with a 100% mortality rate. Although the virus is most commonly transmitted through zombie bites, it is also possible to be infected through mucosal contact with the blood or entrails of an infected individual. The guide also states that it is theoretically possible to be infected through sexual contact with a zombie, but that there are as yet no records of any such incident.
The Undead are often attributed to Superhuman feats, but they posses no powers beyond that of the human the virus has infected. Meaning, if the infected could fly, so could the Zombie.
Symptoms
* Hour 1: Pain and discoloration (brown-purple) of the infected area. Immediate clotting of the wound (provided the infection came from a wound).
* Hour 5: Fever (99-103° F), chills, slight dementia, vomiting, acute pains in the joints.
* Hour 8: Numbing of extremities and infected area, increased fever (103-106° F), increased dementia, loss of muscular coordination.
* Hour 11: Paralysis in the lower body, overall numbness, slowed heart rate.
* Hour 16: Coma
* Hour 20: Heart stops. Zero brain activity.
* Hour 23: Reanimation

How it works
Solanum is described as traveling through the bloodstream, from the initial point of entry to the brain, where it uses the cells of the frontal lobe to replicate itself (destroying these cells in the process along with any forms of intelligence). During this period, all bodily functions cease; by stopping the heart, the subject is rendered "dead". The brain remains alive, but dormant, while the virus mutates its cells into a completely new organ. The most critical trait of this new organ is its independence from oxygen. By removing the need for this all-important resource, the undead brain can utilize, but is no way dependent on, the complex support mechanism of the human body. Once this mutation is complete, this new organ reanimates the body into a form that bears little resemblance (physiologically speaking) to the original corpse. Some bodily functions remain constant, others operate in a modified capacity, and the remainder shut down completely. This new organism is a zombie, a member of the living dead.
