It's been a few months since it happened. In the first two weeks, it was chaos. People hoarding and killing each other because they thought it was necessary in order to survive and protect their loved ones instead of working together as a race. As if the deaths caused by the infected weren't enough already. Then, people hid and prayed no one would find them. Of course, that was hardly ever the case either, since human beings aren't known to be particularly stealthy. More people were murdered for the resources they had scavenged that others wanted. Finally, people thinned out enough that they were hardly any threat and survival was the bigger issue. Hunger, thirst, illness, injuries... In the end, approximately 8000 out of 8 billion people survived until today.
