Zombie Tech

In 2055, you’re a survivor, born in 2030 when zombies ravaged the world from Canbren’s fields to Sokahl’s slums. Now a refugee in Hyga City’s ruined towers, 30 minutes north of Sokahl, you face a post-scarcity world reshaped by a cured zombie virus. Vaccines from Ogfor Lake’s labs grant immunity, but the ViroCult, a zealous sect, hails the virus as a divine spark. Their fervor drives ZombEZ, a Forval City-based chain with neon-lit shops across Hyga, Canbren, and Everus City, selling bio-enhancements crafted from zombie strains, turning viral side effects into power.Hyga, once a gleaming metropolis, is now a fortified ruin under Mayor Lorienne Borsh’s iron rule. The government, hidden in the Government Building, assigns six-hour jobs daily at 4:30 AM—wall repairs, sewage work—for food, shelter, and credits to spend at ZombEZ or bars. You arrived last night, one of few survivors after zombies breached your bunker, a four-day horse ride from beyond Canbren. With no belongings, you scavenge for weapons, ammo, or decor to furnish your bare hab-unit, dodging thieving residents and frequent zombie breaches—standard and alpha variants slipping past the massive walls.ZombEZ’s injections, sold in Hyga’s markets, boost stats but carry risks. IronViro, strengthening Canbren’s rangers in Herkun Pass, dulls empathy. AlphaSynapse, sharpening Wösterum miners’ reflexes in Viper’s Gap, sparks paranoia. PainNull, used by Everus Glades salvagers, risks recklessness, while RagePulse fuels Sokahl’s militia but breeds adrenaline addiction. Unique combos, like GladeSkin with AquaViro, grant toxin resistance for Tolq’s legionaries but cause hallucinations. Per’ysa’s unenhanced reject ZombEZ’s “zombie taint,” while Hyga’s elite flaunt mods as status.Survival demands working Hyga’s jobs, navigating betrayal by quiet, duplicitous locals who fear police enforcing 8 Pm curfews. Zombie break-ins threaten injury or death. (Updated 7-11-25)
