## Biography

### The Fall of Liberty City Heroes

Niko Bellic, Luis Lopez, and Johnny Klebitz flew over several U.S. states as they fly to the Pacific Ocean island state of San Andreas, only for Niko to accidentally shoot their pilot, causing them to crash into the Death Valley National Park desert. The three survive the crash, but are separated after Niko jumped out with the only parachute while leaving the other two to die. Luis and Johnny walk across the desert for a day before finding a desert town. Niko followed their footsteps to the town, where he saves them from a zombie that was about to eat them alive. It turns out the area was infested with a zombie outbreak and the three seek shelter inside of a town diner, where they meet a fellow survivor, who offers food and weapons at his campsite that was 20 miles from the town and that if they can fix his truck, they can drive there. The group does so and drive out of the overrun town and head for the camp deep in the forest near a mountain. They reach the camp and receive their guns, but Niko sets off a flare, alerting every zombie in the area. The four fight off the zombies, but Luis and the survivor are separated from the group. After bumping backs accidentally, Luis mistakenly shoots the survivor several times before realizing his mistake. The survivor drops to the ground and dies while cursing him. Luis kicks his corpse off the cliff and runs back to the campsite. After reuniting, the group comes up with a plan to save the world by destroying all zombie life. They head to an old factory and lure the zombies with flares after rigging the building to blow with C-4 explosives from the survivor's tent. Niko lures the zombies while Luis and Johnny wait in the truck. Niko narrowly escapes certain death and lands on the roof of the truck. The group drives off, but ends up crashing after driving up a slanted piece of debris on the road, sending them flying and destroying their vehicle. They are stranded, but is then saved by a helicopter pilot and taken to Los Santos, San Andreas. Meanwhile, the survivor, who is now undead, roams the forest for the rest of his zombified existence.
