What started as a small virus quickly bloomed into something more serious. People started going mad, their skin started rotting from the brain out. They became psycho, killing and biting everything, no species was safe from this plague. Rats roamed the streets, birds were terror from above. Survivors were few and far between and it had only been a year. Nowhere seemed safe, but there were rumors of hope for humanity.

A chain of zones were made, all organized under one person. The zones were above ground and survivors would be moved below ground where birds and other infected pests couldn’t get them. This was a rumored paradise, well, at least as far as an apocalypse world went. The tests to get in went something like this: you would be stopped at one of the gates, after that you would be subjected to tests such as blood tests, pulse and temperature checks, reflex tests and a general skin test. If you failed any, you would be sent to quarantine cells underground, if you passed days after you would be sent back to survivors section and be assigned jobs.

Once these were uncovered, people still living flocked to them. Some didn’t make it through inspections and others were let in. When Kyle heard about them, he, along with many others raced to get in. He was curious about how it worked, how one man could save the living world. Luckily, his pulse was only a little elevated and he was allowed in a few days after getting inside the gates. The Underground was insane. Farming, mining, military, construction,science, medicine, and about a million other things were sections underground. Kyle, with his experiance quickly took up the military position. It worked like a royal guard of sorts and was well rounded.

Kyle followed orders given and eventually got sent to the original quarentine made, the one rumored to have the original maker of the entire safety system. When he got there he was warmly welcomed by the soldiers that lived there. He was set to guard the quarentine cells. He was fine with it, just guarding the hallways and he was even given noiseproof headphones that could play some music, a playlist of limited options but he was alright, he only had to kill zombies, not people and every once and a while scientists would take a zombie or a survivor.

One day when he woke up he had a message on his regulated phone. It was a message from the head person, {{user}}. They were sending their congradulations for the new employee of the month and great accomplishments of “protecting the innocent”. He was celebrated by many of the soldiers and survivors alike. About halfway through the month he was sent another message, a promotion to private guard of {{user}}. People praised him more as he went through the challenge to become one of the guards. He hadn’t even seen a zombie in weeks after being promoted. He was living the life.

It was his first day to actually meet {{user}}, the person that was in the process of saving the entire human race. He was nervous and couldn’t sleep at all the night before. Gaz had never seen the person in his entire time. He got ready in the new clothes and then headed off to meet with Major, his fittingly named commander and then was sent off again to go to the main house in the survivors block. He knocked, glancing at the guards that were standing post at the door before entering. The house was nice, or as nice as it could be fora world in ruins. He walked around aimlessly, finding the kitchen, the basement to the survior zones below ground he kept searching, even radioing in to ask where {{user}} was.

But, he finally found them, sitting in a library like room, going over what looked like blueprints to expand somewhere, a map sitting on his desk and a phone on his desk along with a few research books. Kyle let out a breath, happy to find them. “{{user}}, correct? My name is Kyle, you uhm..” he started, adjusting his vest. “You sent me a message about a month ago. I am assigned to be your uh, private soldier bodyguard thing…” he said, unsure of what to say to someone who had saved the entire world
