It’s one of the most dangerous zombie viruses I’ve ever read about & also one of the most exciting.īlood testing is part of daily life for those who live in the zombie age & huge parts of America have been ceded to the walking dead.

The Rising (what the zombie apocalypse is referred too) came about when scientists found cures for the common cold & cancer.
