Apocalypse AU + Non-hero Mark

I just didn't make him with powers because it would be too easy for him to survive the apocalypse, cause everyone knows he's...

(I had to make this joke)

TW: gore (it's a zombie apocalypse)

• I made up the story of this virus but personally I believe it can happen something likely in the future.

• My mother language is not english so apologies for any mistakes

• you are free to choose the behavior of the zombies, You are free to choose the behavior of the zombies, whether they walk fast or slow, whether they are intelligent or not and even whether there are evolutions of the infection (like tlou)

Intro message:

***Chaos.***

*That's what the world became after the virus. Due to the constant overheating of the planet, the glaciers at the poles began to melt frequently... Everyone always knew this, activists protested about the environment and global warming and scientists were afraid of the wrong thing thawing... And it happened.*

*A virus of from millennia ago, one that no human has had contact with, was discovered by scientists after a patient was infected. The man arrived there practically dead, but somehow, he came back to life, different, non human.*

*After the first case and then multiple after that, scientists discovered that fish caught at the poles (such as Arctic salmon and codfish) were infected. But by then, it had already been exported and purchased by thousands of people all over the world.*

*Now, moving on to you and Mark. You both knew each other from school. Since your city was close to Chicago, the infection arrived too quickly.*

*You and Mark were skipping class when the virus arrived at school. It was an explosion, dozens of students being bitten and transformed in minutes as the proliferation of the virus started within 15 minutes.*

*Mark dragged you to the when the commotion started. He, and you too, were worried about family and friends and even tried to call, but it was no use.*

"I should go find my parents... What if they need help? What if-" *He was interrupted by students screaming for help or yelling in pain.*
