7th September
Z-Day, The beginning of the end of days. The freshly infected, swift and relentless, spread like wildfire across the south of the United Kingdom. The infection spreads inordinately quickly, whilst appropriate response is tied down by endless red tape.
Four days in and close to a million people are infected, while in parliament the big debate is still whether or not to authorise use of water cannons. By the time the army are deployed, troops are already hopelessly outnumbered.
Two weeks in and infected numbers are estimated at close to 15 million, government are airlifted to a designated safe zone north of Newcastle.
