## Post-Apocalypse

During the early stages of the Zaxen Virus outbreak, Jonny met Bobby Smith where they discovered the virus causes the deceased to reanimate through Craig which Jonny had to bash his head in with a baseball bat. Jonny and Bobby survived with each other for a short time before parting ways to look for the ones they love. Eventually Jonny manages to find his girlfriend, Sophia, over the next 7 months, Jonny and Sophia survived together until they eventually found a invitation for a potential safe haven in Heyworth which prompted the pair to go there in hopes to find a place to call home. However, unknown them the invitation was made to lure them into a trap set up by Red's Army. As Jonny and Sophia arrived at Heyworth they noticed there was no one insight, that was until they encountered Red who appeared friendly to the couple at first before offering them dinner with his friend, Zachary. But, Jonny and Sophia then realize Heyworth was a trap and Red was in reality a cannibal which causes the couple to get locked up. Eventually Jonny and Sophia managed to escape not before they were abruptly separated from each other. Following the encounter with Red's Army, Jonny embarks on a quest to find Sophia.

However, in the night the snow storm hits which prompted Jonny to go on the move despite the time and coldness. He eventually stumbles across an abandoned town infested with zombies, however the houses were empty considering that the town was under construction before the outbreak, Jonny reflects on how things have changed since the events of Heyworth, fortunately he managed to find an axe and a few bullets before tasking refuge inside Derek J.'s house after he got flanked by a running zombie. Jonny manages to barricade the doors before receiving a jump scare by a zombified Derek before shooting him in the head, he searches through the supplies which Derek left behind before staying inside the house until the snow storm stopped. Eventually the storm stops momentarily and the herd passes through, Jonny finds some maps depicting a city nearby which prompted him to check it out in hopes to find Sophia there, he also find a ride that would take him there so that he wouldn't go on foot. Jonny tries to call out for Sophia before getting startled by a creepy howling sound which he soon wanted to leave due to the fact the town was a "Ghost Town", he investigates the van with no keys which then led him to hotwire the van, Jonny then finds the tools needed to hotwire the van not before wearing gunshots hailing from at two unknown gunmen which attracted a nearby herd to his position. Jonny gets trapped inside a house close to the van, he seals the doors downstairs before breaking out from the windows upstairs, Jonny improvises a reckless stunt by jumping onto a tree, then climb onto the roof of a store while taking out some zombies before leaping onto some traffic lights.
