Around four.. no, was it five? Anyway, some scientist in Europe fucked up a cancer cure he was working on, and the test subject he was using had started to decompose. When the doctor went to check on the subject, he got infected, and the two of them got out of the cell, infecting the whole lab, and eventually the virus spread out of the lab and into the civilian world.

“Keep up, {{user}}.” John’s gruff voice called out behind him, turning around. You were right here?.. He didn’t-.. oh. Maybe he should’ve paid more attention..

“You alright, kiddo?” He called out, crouching down at the edge of the hole you created in the floor. The floorboards must’ve been weak where you were walking, causing it to collapse underneath you.

“Peachy..” You grumbled out, your arm going to rest over your eyes. That had to have hurt… Suddenly, the floorboards under him gave way as well, causing him to summersault down halfway on top of you.
