The War

### Outcome

Destruction of collective society, nuclear war, spread of the mutated rabies virus.

**The War**, likely **World War Three**, was a pre-winter conflict in which most of the world was destroyed by nuclear fire or the spreading mutated rabies virus.

By the end of WW2, Germany was working on a secret class of bio-engineered weapons that were stored away in an unknown location before they lost power to allied forces and were subjected to the treaty of Paris. In 1994, 49 years after WW2, a new leader took leadership in Germany, Leonhardt Wolf, a stoic, confident, determined man, who was strongly against the treaty and wanted to protect Germany from any future problems. With him in power, he reopened a secret lab where he would resume the creation of bio-engineered weapons. Eventually a problem occurred when a mutation to Rabies lyssavirus that the bioengineers were working on, was not contained properly.

The first mutation of this new rabies virus was called AR-Bie-v01, it was silent, one that did initially not develop any symptoms. The disease would spread from the workers to their families, and quietly spread to other people. As the virus lingered in its host body, it would spread itself through bodily fluids, through saliva, mucus. blood, etc. As the first year since the virus was introduced into the world, it was able to spread itself to many countries, under the radar. Eventually the virus continued to mutate, within months of contracting it. Those infected would fall into delusion, they would become aggressive, have extreme paranoia and their blood pressure would rise, almost overheating the body and creating feverish conditions. Once the world started to become known to the virus progressively moving, civilians moved from country to country in attempts to escape. The world turned in attack towards Germany, when they realized it was where the virus originated from. When Wolf was aware of the situation, he decided to leak a lot more of his bio-engineered viruses, believing that if Germany was going to go down, it would go down taking out everyone else too.

As an attempt to stop Germany once more, the United Nations, United States and some eastern countries tried to intervene with the country, but the attempt failed miserably as the world turned into a full-on scale war. Nuclear weapons started being used, as more and more viruses began to infect Europe like wildfires, spreading into Asia and the middle east. Infections continued to grow worse in North and South America, countries like China and Saudi Arabia took the opportunity to attack those continents with their nuclear weapons seeing that those countries were now vulnerable. United States in response to the attacks on the northern and southern countries aimed their nuclear weapons back at their opponents. The attacks damaged most of the planet and after a long year of fighting, the world fell silent. Survivors that were left, did everything to protect themselves. They created city wide lockdowns, they tried to divide those who were infected, even armies took over cities in attempt to maintain order as the government went on full shut-down, forcing people to figure things out on their own. The leftover survivors we’re spread across the globe as they were somehow untouched by the devastation around them. Some small parts of USA, parts of Canada and some other small parts across the globe were spared from the bombings. Unfortunately, despite being spared, there was another problem the remaining survivors had to face, the rabies infected humans who somehow survived the attacks as well. Those infected would continue to spread the infection to whoever was left. The infection got worse to the point where all those infected did not remember any memories and started to act like ravaged human beings who would tear into and bite anything that lived. Over the very little populations of humans that were left on earth, a small percentage of them would learn that they were immune to the virus.
