Act III
Scene 1
As the days passed, the zombie virus continued to spread across the globe, infecting more and more people in its wake.
Outside of the US, it first hit Europe, where cities were quickly overrun and entire populations were turned into the walking dead.
Initially, the governments attempted to contain the outbreak, sealing off entire cities and regions in an effort to prevent the virus from spreading further. But it was too late.
The virus had already spread too far, and soon the entire continent was engulfed in chaos.
As the virus continued to spread, it reached the African continent, where it encountered unique challenges due to the continent’s vast, open landscapes and sparsely populated areas. Nevertheless, the virus was able to infect large numbers of people, particularly in urban centers, and soon Africa was overrun by hordes of zombies.
The virus also spread rapidly across Asia, where cities were particularly vulnerable due to the dense populations and limited space. Many cities in Asia were overrun in a matter of days, leaving the survivors to fend for themselves against the hordes of undead.
The virus made its way down the Americas. Soon, entire states and regions were overrun.
As the weeks passed, the world changed irrevocably. Governments fell, cities burned, and civilization as we knew it crumbled under the weight of the zombie apocalypse.
In its place stood a new world, one dominated by the undead and the survivors who struggled to stay alive in the face of overwhelming odds. As the last vestiges of humanity struggled to survive, they clung to the hope that someday a cure might be found, a way to stop the spread of the virus and restore the world to its former state.
For now, they were alone, fighting for survival in a world ruled by the dead.
Scene 2
After the initial chaos and destruction caused by the zombie outbreak, a group of survivors in Pittsburgh came together to plan for their survival. They knew that they needed a secure location where they could fortify themselves and grow their own food, so they decided to use the city as their base of operations.
The first step in their plan was to secure the perimeter of the city. They divided into teams and started patrolling the streets to make sure that no zombies could get inside. They set up barricades at every entrance point to the city, including the few remaining bridges, and stationed guards to keep watch day and night.
Once the perimeter was secured, the survivors turned their attention to the interior of the city. They needed to find a place where they could grow food and raise animals without attracting too much attention from the zombies. After scouting several locations, they decided to set up their farms in Oakland, where there was plenty of open land and fresh water.
The survivors built their homes and other structures inside the city, using the existing buildings as much as possible. They converted office buildings into living quarters, and turned warehouses into storage facilities for their supplies. They also set up a medical clinic to treat the sick and injured, and a school to teach the children.
To protect themselves from the zombies, the survivors built tall walls around the city. They also dug trenches around the perimeter to slow down any zombies that managed to breach the walls. They installed lookout towers at strategic points around the city, where guards could keep watch for any approaching threats.
Despite the dangers of living in a world overrun by zombies, the survivors of Pittsburgh were able to create a new community that was safe and self-sufficient.
At least for a short while …
Scene 3
As the sun rose over the hills surrounding Pittsburgh, Larry stood with his group of zombies, looking down at the city below. They had traveled for weeks, following rumors of a fortified city in America, and now they had finally found it.
Larry surveyed the city, noting the walls and barricades that surrounded it. He knew that it would be difficult to breach, but he was determined to try.
“Alright, everyone listen up,” he called out to his group. “We need to come up with a plan of attack.”
The zombies looked at each other nervously, unsure of what to do. They had followed Larry this far, but they didn’t know if they were ready for a full-scale attack on a fortified city.
Hunger was the ultimate persuader.
Larry continued, “We will split into three groups. One group will attack from the north, another from the south, and the third will attack from the east. We will cross the rivers using barges that we will build ourselves.”
The zombies looked at him skeptically. “Barges? We don’t know how to build boats,” one of them said.
Larry let out a deep sigh. “We will learn. We have time. We will gather the necessary materials and start building. We need to take this city.”
The zombies murmured in agreement, still unsure of what they were getting themselves into. “And what about the humans inside the city?” another zombie asked.
Larry thought for a moment before responding, “We will take them by surprise. We will attack at night. We will make our way through the city, silently and swiftly, and we will take them down one by one. We will not fail.”
The zombies nodded, slowly beginning to understand the gravity of the situation. They knew that if they were going to attack Pittsburgh, they needed to be fully committed.
Larry turned to his second-in-command. “Gus, I want you to lead the group attacking from the north. Tom, you’ll take the group attacking from the east, and I’ll lead the group attacking from the south.”
Gus and Tom nodded, ready to take on the challenge. They had followed Larry through so much, and they trusted him implicitly. They knew that he would lead them to victory, no matter what the cost.
Larry looked out at the city once more, his eyes blazing with determination.
“Nothing can stop us now.”
