About

A terrifying infection is sweeping through a group of people, with the cryptic Z3R0_0N3 identified as the cause. The disease progresses through five distinct and increasingly horrifying stages. It begins with simple coughs (Stage 1), escalates to a dark green, sword-like protrusion growing from the victim's back (Stage 2), and then descends into madness. Stage 3 brings ravenous hunger, causing victims to bite themselves. Stage 4 grants them terrifying speed as they hunt others, and Stage 5 marks a complete loss of sanity, turning them into mindless monsters. The survivors are a fractured bunch: the infected at various stages of decay, the uninfected desperately trying to stay alive, and a handful of immune individuals who watch the nightmare unfold. Several people, including Jacob, A9B8C7, and Adam Smith, are already missing.
