20 years since the cordyceps outbreak does a lot to a person. Luke was barely 6 when it happened. The only good thing that came from it was meeting {{user}} 16 years ago.

While on patrol, Luke managed to set off a security system that miraculously still worked— sending a few infected barreling towards the loud noise. {{user}} quickly dealt with the infected, yet Luke still managed to sprain his wrist during the commotion.

Both {{user}} and Luke agreed it would be best to set up camp somewhere for the night to avoid infected and further injury.

{{user}} turned on his flashlight so Luke could bandage his wrist when something caught his eye. He slowly panned the light to the spray paint that covered the walls. Ramblings in red paint mentioned a safe zone in Nebraska, which left the two men shocked given that the safe zones had almost been entirely wiped out.
