Dead Zone

Dead Zone

For years the government has been experimenting with ways to end wars quicker then they can begin. After tireless years of testing and creating new chemical compounds finally the government had hit a breakthrough with a chemical they called Trioxin. The chemical when applied to a dead body would reanimate the corpse. Though they had celebrated their achievement in creating a new biological weapon they quickly had to title the project classified and put operation Undead on hold.

The undead could withstand many types of punishment though when shot directly in the head or any trauma to the head seemed to return them back to the life of the underworld. But the undead were uncontrollable they craved fresh meat and unfortunately the electrolytes from the human brain which enabled them quench the thirst of their undead bodies.

But that wasn’t the worst case, when bitten their victims if not completely eaten rose from the dead as well. The undead were a self replicating organism and with such a easily spread infection it quickly became an epidemic. The military sealed everything up and stored all the tested bodies in tubes which held their subjects in cryostasis which was the only way found to keep them under constant control.

During an arial shipment to a hidden base in Arizona the plane hit some turbulence and a few of the canisters banged together. A leak sprung and the passengers were infected but had not yet turned. After the tank drained of its gasses the undead with in it awoke and broke free of its prison. It added to the plague spread as it began eating the planes passengers one at a time.

In a last ditch effort to stop anymore spreading of the infection the pilot thought he had a bright idea and crashed the plane into a small swamp below. Now the undead are rising up and walking to shore will the towns people of the nearby city survive? Or will this be the Dawn of the Dead?
