This is how I envisioned it after a little thought being disapointed in the ‘stands on their own’ feeling each movie had. (and aside from money/time/resources to get the game out for the 2008 holiday season this might be why we’re left to envision, in order to make our own story out of it)…
Prologue – A extremely communicable version of rabies is let loose in the world’s airports, the initial form has a 6-10 day incubation and is airborne. Thanks to the very small world we have now with international travel this disease spreads across the globe like wildfire. It mutates as it spreads to become more contagious and with a shorter incubation period.
0.5% of humanity is naturally immune to virus but not the swarms of rampaging raging infected that now infest every city, town and village.
No Mercy – Our four survivors have been trying to ‘wait it out’ in the city but the infected aren’t dying off like they’d hoped from thirst and starvation and now they’re mutating into other [I][B]things[/B][/I]. Â This is not good. Not good at all. The chopper flies past entreating any survivors to head to Mercy hospital. Our quad fights it way to the hospital and escapes in the chopper. Unfortunately the pilot has the disease and isn’t immune. He rapidly worsens but manages to bring the chopper down on a rooftop near the edge of the city.
Dead Air – Our quad kills the pilot and while wondering what the hell is next sees the airplane flying past. Okay, time to head to the airport on the edge of town! They make it there, get the plane fueled up and head out. Unfortunately, yet again, in 10 minutes you can’t completely fuel a plane and all the airports are overrun anyway so the pilot makes an emergency landing on a highway dying in the crash.
Death Toll – Our fearless quad hikes up the highway coming across a small town. They fight through the town and find a dock where they’re picked up by a boat to chug away down the river. Gas is a problem and eventually they run out and after drifting for two days end up beached on a sand bar in rural America. After hearing their stories about how everyone dies around them, the pilot decides he doesn’t want to be their next redshirt and heads off on his own.
Blood Harvest – Our group heads inland in search of supplies and comes across the train tracks and travels along it knowing most of America’s goods are shipped by rail, hoping to come across a boxcar full of Hungry Man meals and Jello Brand Pudding Pops (TM). They find more infected and a corn field watered in blood. It’s obviously they’re not going to take up a career as farmers with infected for neighbors but are rescued yet again and drive off in a armored personnel carrier even further into outback where they eventually hole up in a fully stocked ‘oh those crazy survivalist nut’s bought an abandoned missile silo, who’s laughing now’ complex along with other survivors which has become known as Vault 101 in the area.
