It's been five years since the war broke out and the virus spread, both taking countless lives. The war started when Hellstorm Industries (already owners of Russia) bought the American continent's. It wasn't long before europe and the remaining countries pulled together to form The Republic. War broke out between the Hellstorm and republic nations. Seven months of war then the flu came, inocent enough to give you a runny nose then leave your system.
Hellstorm Industries, being in the middle of a war, created a healing gene that repaired destroyed body tissue, g56, then distributed it to troops. The only the only things it can't protect is your brain and heart. Then a plant worker that dealt with the waste product of creating the gene caught the flu. He then he sneezed in a waste container for g56 wich was then shipped to Anchorage, Alaska for disposal.
While the container was shipped from Washington to Alaska, the flu changed to a deadly virus in wich your skin rots off and you have a huge craving for, well, skin. A drop of this solution,aka v720, dropped on a worker's boot then made contact with his skin. In a hopeless rage the man infected several medics, and started a long two year process of the eastern states being infected. Hellstorm held a line, so the virus stoped before it hit the Great River, but at the cost of several civilians, trapped on the other side.
Two more years of war and small virus breakouts, wich were quickly handled, I joined Hellstorm Industries. I quickly became a section comander, meaning I controled 10% of the million man Hellstorm army, in six months time. Wich is my current job, its amazing how I did this in six months. I have no freinds but I'm not lonely, I have two comanders to talk to in my comfortable 67th floor living quarters in the Hellstorm Tower. Although life is pretty much a routine its not boring.
