I got banned for swearing as DaBrennerGuy, so here is the lore...As DaBrennerGuys.

There lies a man, dying, propped up against a wall, and a young soldier who listens intently to what he has to say, despite the barrage of gunfire and grenade blasts sizzling to life near their position.

"Well, they said that with the zombies gone, the world would go back to normal..."

The man coughs, hacking up a film of blood and spit, and then continued.

"At first, we couldn't believe it. Whole cities were purged of zombies and made inhabitable again. No more fighting, no more killing, no more dying, no more starving, just something without them and with only us."

"We rejoiced, as we should have, but we were too naive."

"But what happened?"

The young soldier ventured, wincing as a bullet zinged past inches from his face.

"We found that we just didn't have the capacity to rebuild from the bottom up. The government had used up too many resources combatting the undead, and us normal people simply didn't have the organisation to do it either."

"Fall back!"

Orders are yelled from the opposite side. The young soldier breathes a sigh of relief.

The man smiles, blood running down his lips, before continuing.

"That reminds me so much of the botched operation at the Complex.... Anyway, that was the least of our problems. All of our people were fighters. People who didn't know how to use a gun or didn't know how to perished very quickly."

"That meant that right now, over 99% of the human race are all fighters. All we knew was fighting, we'd known only how to fight for 20 years. That meant we were destroyers, not builders."

"People who had experience from before the outbreak now had not had any experience in ther fields for 20 years.... Even if you remember how to do it, the facilities that you can use are just too beat up from constant war to just be reused."

"We suffered from famine soon after the cleansing of the world from zombies... We'd been scavengers, and kept a long distance from each other, and now that the government had crammed us all into cities, getting hold of food was just impossible."

"We also lacked commodities such as electricity, water and general daily items. Electricity Generators had suffered from lack of maintenance, water had to be drawn through filters which again relied on electricity, and all the factories in the world had been converted into churning out armor, ammo and guns."

"And the whole world had an excess of guns, armor and ammuntion. The government wore itself out even more trying to regrow humanity, and even they began resorting to scavenging and killing to get by."

"Humanity was even better off during the outbreak, but now...Call it the Dark Ages, just with guns."
