The Deathlock’s victims had been scattered throughout the years and no one really questioned it because it never took many lives at once. It had always just been a backseat sort of virus. Scientists were more occupied with other things like trying to find a cure to cancer and other things that had taken more lives than The Deathlock Virus. But when the virus managed to take 50,000 lives in four years, taking around 12,500 lives a year, they frantically began to try and create a cure for the newest deadly virus. They dropped any other projects and started focusing on The Deathlock Virus. The first vaccine was released in 3005, which meant that even more lives had been taken since 2999. The Deathlock Virus affects the immune system. So if you had anything that affected your immune system you’d be high at risk for getting the virus. People thought the virus came from a plant called Death’s Kiss. It was a deadly plant which emitted spores which could kill if inhaled. Scientists eventually managed to safely gather some of the Death’s Kiss’s flowers and, later on, experiment on the plant’s medicinal properties and the plant itself. They ended up adding it into several medicines to make them stronger and up the quality of the effects. People think that the virus came from parts of the Death’s Kiss that had been added into the medicine, And that The Deathlock Virus originated from the mixtures of the medicines that people had been taking and it just started to spread from there. Others think that the scientists actually accidentally created The Deathlock Virus for something along the lines of population control. Which, in turn, was bullshit and not true. When The Deadlock Virus first started resurfacing in 2995 there were way too many people on the earth, people were struggling to find homes, which is why people thought The Deathlock Virus had been created just for population control. Construction workers were frantically struggling to build houses and apartments and farmers worked double time trying to produce enough food to provide for the surplus of people. There were many people who started living on boats and houses on the water because the land was so busy and crowded with people. It was also cheaper considering they had raised the pricing of houses quite a lot. That led to a lot of homelessness which lead to more people getting The Deathlock Virus because they were unable to protect their immune systems. When they first started to take people into the hospital that had fallen into the coma, no one really questioned anything until a surplus of people started to flood into the hospitals. After most hospitals were filled with the Deathlock victims, the government told the public that they were working on a cure and that it was their main priority. In the four years it took for the government and the scientists around the world to make a cure, a little over 50,000 people had been claimed by the virus. The bodies were buried in masses, anywhere that had the space to fit them. People were very very angry that the government wouldn’t let them bury their family members in their own traditional ways. However, there wasn’t enough room as the majority of these deaths took place in America which was crowded enough as is. They tried burning the bodies that hadn’t been claimed by family members. That worsened the air quality so after six months of burning the bodies that had to stop and go back to just burying them in masses. Also they didn’t have quite enough supplies to continue doing the cremation. After four years they finally gave out the vaccine for The Deathlock Virus, they told the public that they’d tested it on two different Deathlock Victims and it had turned out fine since they ‘came’ out of their comas. The Day they released it they aired an interview with the ‘healed’ Deathlock Victims. The Scientists never actually tested the vaccine so the two ‘healed’ victims were just people they paid to ease the people’s worry. The doctors started administering the vaccine to The Deathlock Victims that hadn’t yet died. The people started to wake up and hospitals filled with family members that were dying to see their loved ones. After a few hours the people that had gotten the vaccine had started experiencing hot fevers and cold like symptoms which varied in strength. After that they would die once their fevers reached 110 degrees. There was no warning of the death of the victims; they just would spontaneously die without warning. The family members started to panic, the nurses desperately trying to bring these dying people back to life. The family members began to wake up again, however they weren’t really human anymore. They woke up with completely white eyes, the veins all over their body were swelling, turning a gross greenish red color, and almost popping out from underneath their skin. The newly reanimated people started attacking anything that moved in the hospital, their loved ones, the nurses, the doctors, the other sick people who had yet to reanimate or the people that were there for other reasons other than the virus. The hospitals were soon filled up with dead bodies, the reanimated, and bloodshed. The local police blocked up the hospitals, making sure nothing would or could get out. They had hoped whatever was inside would die out sooner or later. Since they blocked up the hospitals it also left whoever was alive in there, that hadn’t been turned, to fend for themselves. The whole thing sent everyone into a bigger panic than the world was already in. Doctors stopped giving out the first vaccine as soon as they caught news of the reanimated. Then people start riots. Marching the streets and fighting back against the police officers, yelling at the government to fix this mess. The Government quickly responded that they were on the way to making a vaccine that could protect you from The Deathlock Virus and the infection from The Claimed. People had seen the news coverage of some of The Claimed people escaping from the hospitals and attacking civilians which, in turn, led the civilians to turn into The Claimed as well. The idea of a new and improved vaccine coming out gave people some peace of mind but everyone was still on edge because of the fact that the first vaccine didn’t work in the first place. People still had no idea that the government didn’t test the vaccine, they just thought the virus was too strong for the vaccine that the government had approved and sent out. People were still rioting and The Deathlock Infection was still spreading. For the reasons of, some of The Claimed got out of the boarded up hospitals AND the first wave of The Deathlock Infection was still putting people into comas. After they released to the public the tapes of the government testing the new vaccine on a few people and having them get a small dose of the Deathlock Virus to make it look like they were sick before they actually took the vaccine, ← it was a very small and harmless dose, they just wanted the people to look sick, the people didn’t know that though, They started giving out the vaccine. The government had just released a placebo to calm everybody down whilst they tried to work on a real vaccine that could help everybody. They gave out the vaccines to almost everybody in the world before people started to think it was a placebo. The only reason they began to believe it was a placebo because the death toll from The Deathlock Infection was growing. And the government released thoughts about quarantining and blocking off main parts of some cities to keep people safe. They did end up building big walls that surrounded one part of each big city and was only around 10 blocks wide in every direction. They only moved people into the safe zones until they were full. Major people of importance were moved to separate underground bunkers which were far safer and military grade. The rest of the people were killed or left to fend for themselves outside of the safe zones which they called Grids. For example, The Boston Grid or the New York Grid. Most people who were left out of the Grids and hadn’t been killed by the military were taken by the Seekers and turned into more of The Claimed. They ended up bombing parts of some cities or towns that were completely taken over by the Seekers, the cities were completely overrun and lost to The Claimed. Some cities were overrun but to a manageable extent. The military went into the cities and cleaned everything up so that the people could move into the Grids that were cleaned of Seekers. After they moved all the people into the Grids, people began to go back into their normal lifestyles. People had to work for ration tickets which you had to give to an officer at the ration center to get your meals for the day. They give out rations at 11:00am. You get Lunch, Dinner, and then Breakfast for the next day. IF you weren’t there in time you didn’t get rations and would have to pay more for the restaurant in your city, if you had one. Sometimes, they would run out of rations before people could even get their food, the people at the back of the line were subjected to this mostly during the and the times that the rations were running low. It was usually only in the winter so in the summer, people worried less about it. Sometimes people stole rations or the guards just took extra food for themselves. People couldn’t do anything about it because of the risk and fear of being killed by the guards. If you were caught doing anything wrong, you’d be kicked out of the Grid and left to the Seekers or you’d be hanged. They did hangings in the middle of the Grids on fridays, just to make people aware of the punishments of breaking the rules. The hangings were of criminals, people who tried to sneak in or out of the grids (without proper identification) and Renegades. The Renegades were a group of people who were stuck trying to find a cure and fighting against the military. They’d almost been successful numerous times but there was always that one thing holding them back from finding the cure or taking down the Soldiers. Most of The Renegades were good people who were just trying to help others. A few were bad people. Then there was The Lost. The people who wandered freely with only the intention to kill. They were like Seekers but just…human. They killed for the fun of it. They would hurt people, run human trafficking, they were just horrible no matter what. (TYPES OF SEEKERS: Name: Seekers Infection time: Can take a few hours to a few days for a Claimed (A Claimed person is someone who has been infected) person to actually turn into a seeker. Look for signs of infection. Strengths: They have very good hearing Quite strong if they actually get you They usually travel in herds, it’s rare to find one alone Overwhelming in big numbers Have sharp claws and teeth Can rip large chunks out of your skin if you’re not careful Weaknesses: They’re slow They will chase after you but you don’t have to worry about them really getting you Very stupid Can easily be killed Any way that would normally kill a human would kill them Most efficient is a headshot or a shot to the chest If they’re alone you shouldn’t worry because they can’t do any really bad damage unless you let them get you. Name: Runners Infection time: Takes up to four weeks for Seekers to turn into Runners Seekers don’t turn into Runners right away, they can go up to a year without turning into Runners Strengths: Very fast - can run up to 50 miles per house at full speed Will do anything to get to you If you make eye contact with them then they will 100% run after you, if you don’t make eye contact then they basically can’t see you If you don’t make eye contact with them then they should be completely fine unless you somehow draw attention to yourself and somehow make eye contact with them Weaknesses: Slow in big groups because the other Seekers block their way Can’t go fast in water, through trees, through crowded areas, stuff that slows normal people down. They can only really run up to 50 miles in a non crowded area, like if they’re chasing after you down an empty street then try to find something that will slow their chase down They’re very easy to kill, just hard to aim at because of how fast they move. Name: Screamers Infection time: Takes around 3 months up to 5 months for a Seeker to turn into a Screamer Can be up to 2 years for a Seeker to fully turn into a Screamer Strengths: They constantly scream at the top of their lungs Their screaming draws the attention of other Seekers which can cause problems in cities or forests Their jaws are usually dislocated which means their heads are kind of tilted back in an interesting way to where you can’t really shoot their hands unless it’s at a specific angle Weaknesses: Because they’re always screaming, they’re easy to find and quickly get rid of They have a weak point right in their throat, if you can’t get their head then just shoot the throat and it stops the screaming. Name: Tanks Infection time: It can take up to 4 years for a Seeker to turn into a Tank Strengths: They’re very very strong They’ll crash through almost anything to get to you Nothing stops them till they’re dead or they lose their target, it’s very hard to lose a Tank, though They’re hard to kill because they have so much muscle and body fat, best way to get one down is to shoot the knee or leg until they can’t walk anymore The virus helps the Seekers get bigger and stronger instead of decomposing like normal zombies so that’s how they evolve into Tanks and eventually Climbers Weaknesses: They’re very weak when it comes to fire Easy to kill if you’ve lit them on fire They are very slow because of how big they are If they get trapped they rarely ever escape. Name: Climbers Infection time: It can take four weeks to 6 years for a Seeker to turn into a Climber, usually they form faster if they’re in groups of Seekers and in cold places Strengths: They’re like 5-20 different Seekers like fused together Can be different types of Seekers as well, not just the first form of The Claimed They’re also huge, Weaknesses: Very easy to kill with fire If you shoot the heads of the individual seekers that fused into the Climber it will die once you’ve shot all the heads Blind with flashlights or any other type of light.)
