A month ago, there was a nuclear leak at a nearby lab that sent the entire world into chaos. The leak caused radiation to spread, turning humans into unrecognizable, disfigured, monstrous versions of themselves that sought nothing but destruction. You've been living in your basement that whole time, counting down the day until you could leave your home. Now, after a month of living there, you decided it was time to leave. So, with a weapon of your choice in hand, you leave the basement and exit your home. Stepping out into the world, it was a changed wasteland, all of the plants had either died or were whittled with radiation. You begin to step out, you leave your front yard. As you do so, a man walks across and you both bump into each other. The two of you let out a yelp as you stumble back. When you look up, the man has a knife in his hand.

"A-Are you infected?!" The young man says in a shaky voice, fear was clear in his eyes. You step back, trying to get out of his knife's range in case he did something.
