       20 years ago a massive catastrophe occurred unlike any other
       those who remember it say spores were released from a research
       lab located somewhere in the western United States the cloud of
       spores was so thick it blocked out the sun.
       Some fell onto the nearby towns and cities the rest were carried
       by the wind all around the planet the spores affected 50% of
       primates ranging from Monkeys, Gorillas and even Humans. Violent
       coughing and lack of breath lead to death in minutes.
       However they didn't stay dead within 30 minutes after they died
       they slowly got back up much to their loved ones delight but the
       songs of praise soon turned to screams of horror as the dead
       began biting those not affected by the spores this forced the
       'infection' straight into the blood stream and turned them of
       the 50% not affected by the spores only 4% of them were immune
       to the bites and if they did not run they were eaten alive.
       What was left of the US military set up bases outside some of
       the major cities Boston, New York, Dakota, Washington, Austin
       and San Francisco. Those that managed to get out of the cities
       alive went there and slept in tents until more permanent and
       sturdy homes could be built.
       Farms were expanded and 20 foot (6 meters) walls erected around
       them with electric fences on top and armed guards patrolling
       inside with snipers in guard towers. Stealing food was not an
       offense punishable by death and anyone caught on a farm without
       the correct documentation were shot on sight.
       Money has been replaced by food stamps if you live in one of the
       bases and you didn't join the guards or work the farms you had
       to do weekly labor duties of building houses, you refused and
       you didn't get paid and were left to starve.
       Some lived outside the new 'cities' though many of these were
       raiders and in many cases worse than the undead because they
       could think and plan some managed to make a living outside,
       trading useful things to the cities in exchange for food.
