Welcome to the Battle Ground: Oaksdale College
In 2005, a virus known as ZED was released from a lab beneath Goucher College. The virus spread rapidly, but the government managed to contain it. The United States government claimed that the threat had passed, and that the citizens of the country were safe. Yet after years of testing, there is still no vaccine, no cure, for the virus that reanimates the dead bodies of the infected and makes them crave human flesh, specifically brains.
Many people refused to believe that the threat had truly passed because there was no known cure, and so they began to take matters into their own hands. Underground groups began to form at colleges across the country, college students who were determined to be prepared in case of the return of the zombie menace. They called their movement HvZ, standing for Humans vs. Zombies. They hoarded weapons, ammunition, and survival supplies. They created security systems in case of an outbreak. They made contacts higher up in government. Despite the distrust in the United States government the HvZ Squads believed that they would more time. It has only been seven years and yet...another outbreak has occurred. And this one cannot be contained...
