They took someone I can't live without. So I did something stupid and went after them.
Four years after Deadbreak, a convoy cuts across the northern plains—Verum Ex up front with their lab-coat gospel, the CCB lurking behind to tax anything with a pulse. I've got a small crew, a dog who thinks he's in charge, and a trail that leads through every settlement still dumb enough to have hope. Each one costs us something. Most of them cost us blood.
Then the trail ends at a fortress by a lake, the dead show up like they got the invite, and we learn what it takes to hold a line when the math says don't bother.
If we survive, the road points to a hospital where the answers are. If we don't, the world gets smaller. Again. And I'm running out of world.
