6. Zombie Killers: Ambush
First came the plague. A genetically engineered virus that brought civilization crashing down, while turning its victims into mindless carnivores. We fought. Retreated. Died. Lived. Advanced. Started rebuilding the United States.
The scout teams went out, seeing what was left of the world, moving far ahead of the Army, seeking survivors, checking infrastructure, salvaging precious relics of our history.
Then the second plague, loosed by a dictator in a desperate bid for power and control, and the cycle repeated itself, this time with even smaller numbers. Still, we held on, and rebuilt again, the United States reduced to a few million people living in Upstate New York and Lower New England.
I had thought we were done, hung up the weapons and settle down to farming and trading, but for a soldier, that itch never goes away. The adventure just around the next corner, the thrill of combat and defeating your enemies, the call of the unknown. So I went out, one more time.
10. Even Zombie Killers Can Go To Hell
How far will you go to save the one you love from Hell?
It had been ten years since the world fell. Later historians would theorize that the virus was just the final straw; if it hadn’t been that, it would have been something else. Pollution, greed, overpopulation, whatever. Regardless of the cause, civilization survived, but just barely. The plague, civil wars, despotism, the second plague, all had reduced the population of the United States to only ten million people. That was enough, though, to reestablish the center, and the center held. A flickering light of civilization in a barbaric world.
Outside the borders of the smaller United States, now gathering strength again in the Northeast, teams of scouts, mixed civilian and military, explored what was left of the devastated world. Their job was to examine infrastructure, recover precious items of our history, and gather that most valuable of commodities, information. These were the Irregular Scout Teams, men and women who were both professional soldiers and hard case civilian survivors. They went out, took the lead, accomplished their missions, and gave their lives to serve a country that had finally remembered the meaning of that service.
At first thrown together informally, those teams lead every fight and participated in every battle. Over time, as with all armies, things became a bit formalized, and training a bit more standard. Lessons were learned, knowledge gained, and a Scout Training Program established in Upstate New York. It was run, of course, by the best. The men and women of Irregular. Scout Team One, known by their call sign, the Lost Boys.
On a mission in Tennessee, one of the team members becomes infected while trying to save the life of a young girl. Through hordes of undead and the hell of combat, her friends race to find a cure before the infection destroys her mind.
11. Patient Zero
The world has fallen, but America fights on …
Nine months after the Apocalypse devastated the US, a small band of scouts, military and civilian, lead the way back out into the wilds. Infected swam and warlords rule while everyday men and women try to survive.
Orders are given, and Irregular Scout Team One does an airborne insertion into chaos…
After enforcing rough justice in the Hudson Valley, the Team is sent on a desperate mission to find Patient Zero, the first infected, in hopes of tracking down a cure. Along the way hidden agendas manipulate the military and leave the Team fighting for its very survival.
