Shanghai and Beijing……millions of people……all dead! Nuclear warheads have destroyed both cities, and we don't even know where they came from! Some here believe that they were launched from silos in Russia, but no one can determine whether it was intentional or accidental. The fallout from the blasts has already blanketed most of China, and we've had survivors….if one can call them that, for most are on the verge of death….coming to this bunker in droves. Many walked for over a week to get here. The radiation levels are extremely high in places, even this far away, and the ensuing sickness has depleted our ability to care for ourselves or others. 
The Afflicted are swarming everywhere, and all of our attempts to create any kind of safe zone beyond this bunker have failed. The radiation has not stopped them. They seem unaware that their own flesh is peeling from their bodies, and they now truly look like raving bands of zombies. The Afflicted are not immune, however, and they appear to be dying of radiation sickness along with the rest of us.
We can no longer accept the non-Afflicted into our bunker, and have started to turn people away. It grieves me to know that we are condemning them to death in doing so, but we are running low on food, water, and medical supplies. At night we frequently hear cries of terror and the horrible, incoherent screaming of the Afflicted just outside…….but what can we do?
