## Plot Summary

#### The beginning

Chapter one of the chronicles follows a group of survivors led by general Jake Gunn. One day after the outbreak of the Huntsman virus, Richard Thompson shows up at the door of the survivors' base seeking shelter from the undead roaming the streets. He is welcomed to the group by Zak and is introduced to Jake Gunn.

#### The break-in

During his stay at the base, Thompson, who was sleeping on the floor, awoke to the sound of a zombie approaching him. He swiftly grabs a pistol, spins around and shoots it twice. He orders Francis, a guard who had been sleeping on the couch behind Rick's spot on the floor, to check the zombie was dead. Francis does so and informs him that it was dead. Richard then drags the body outside while Francis went upstairs and alerted Gunn and Zak of the situation. Both rush downstairs as Richard returns. Gunn is outraged at the break-in and asks Rick where the body is and upon being told it had been dragged outside, demanded to know if Rick had worn gloves when he did this, which he had. Thompson and Gunn leave the building to go and inspect the body, and when they do so, the body seemingly comes back to life and attacks Gunn, who promptly shoots it in the face with a small pistol he had taken with him.

#### The invasion

Gunn later discusses the break-in with Thompson. A few nights later, one of the guards positioned outside is attacked by a zombie and infected. In the morning, the infected guard and the zombie that infected it begin banging on the door, which gains the attention of another guard who is positioned by the door to listen and watch out for intruders or survivors who may want in. The guard opens the door and is then infected by the other two. During this invasion, everyone in the base is killed or infected except for Gunn, Thompson and Francis. The three then begin exterminating all infected still in the base. During the extermination process, Thompson comes across a survivor entering the base, who helps him kill one of the last zombies in the building. The survivor then tells Rick his name is Jeremy Stevenson. Gunn is not pleased to see a new survivor in the base and believes him to be a spy for another group of survivors seen near the base when he tells them of a large horde of zombies heading towards the base, but soon welcomes him to the small group of survivors. Gunn then holds a meeting with Thompson and Stevenson while Francis deals with the remaining undead upstairs. He tells Stevenson that the three of them were the only survivors. They know that the only thing left to do is fight.

#### The last stand

Gunn, Thompson and Stevenson all prepare to go out and fight the horde, while Francis stays behind. The three all go in to the kitchen one-by-one and choose the weapons they plan to use in their fight against the mass of zombies heading their way. Once they have everything ready, the trio leave and head to a river where they position themselves for the fight. Richard sets himself up in a tree while Jake lays down in some plants while Jeremy stays up top on higher ground. The horde soon arrives and it doesn't take long for Jeremy to be killed. Jake and Rick both run out of ammo as one of the infected charges Jake, who runs off. Richard picks up another gun he had brought with him and runs after Jake. When he catches up with Jake the zombie is already dead, but Jake accidentally drops a live grenade, which goes off killing them both and ending the chapter.

#### The credits

After Jake and Rick die, the credits begin to roll. The music that plays while the credits are displayed is 'Heart of Courage' by Two Steps From Hell. While Jackson Bell is not credited as having portrayed any zombies, he did in fact portray the zombie Richard and Jeremy kill when Jeremy first appears.
