Prologue
Those who were around when it all happened never realized just how much it would change our world. Things that we took for granted in our everyday life have now become privileges for a select few, the ones who had money before our realities crashed around us. There were signs everywhere but we enjoyed our entitled lives and paid no mind to the things we thought would always be around.
The world came to a relative end to standard living in 2021. The wars of religion seemed meager in comparison to what occurred. Everyone acted blind sided and shocked when the truth of the biological war that broke out and changed society forever. The truth was the dominant world governments knew about it but kept society in the dark. While most people lived their lives in blissful ignorance some saw the signs and knew what was coming.
Dai Jinko one of the worlds largest economies and countries had long been rising in power economically as well as military power. Standard warfare seemed to be often long hard fights that devastated everyone's economy regardless if they took part in the actual fighting. Sadly the communist mentality or the Dai Jinko government blinded its own people and by the time the common people realized what was going on it was far to late.
In mid 2019 a virus was found in Dai Jinko. The initial deaths from this virus were very high. Dai Jinko said it was a mutation viral infection reporting that they were doing their best to maintain and come up with a vaccine for the virus. This new virus was beyond what many had seen, its infection rate was high and the mortality rate at an astounding fifty percent. The Dai Jinko scientific community said it was due to it being a completely new viral infection that people had no immunities to. Some believed the lies.
By the end of 2019 there was a whistle blower from Dai Jinko. A Dai Jinko biochemical engineer from one of the military support facilities fled the country, he fled to Nord seeking asylum for information about the new Dai Jinko Virus that the media lovingly dubbed the Jinko flu. It was anything but a flu.
The Scientist hid his identity from the public but he was found shortly after revealing his labs research on the virus. The scientist claimed he was head of research in the Viral warfare research lab in Dai Jinko. His lab had been petitioned to create a super virus. Splicing portions of hard hitting viral infections like HIV, Pneumonia, Ebola, even portions of simple viral infections like the common flu, strep and even MRSA in order to make it appear as if it was a mutation of a seasonal flu.
By the time this information was readily available to the public millions had died. From June to December Dai Jinko had managed to "contain" the viral outbreak. The rest of the world held its breath and prayed to the many religious Gods to spare them from the wrath of what everyone thought was nature.
When the scientist defected from communist Dai Jinko, not only did he bring information about the virus and how it was created but he also brought information on how it was released. The Dai Jinko Government was fighting over population specifically in major cities. Important essential government workers and families were quarantined and were given supplies to last 2 years. Some holed themselves inside their vacation homes outside of the major cities, while other lived in a designated bunker while the government released the viral infection to the populace. Releasing the virus through the air systems in businesses, shops and grocery stores. None of the major cities in Dai Jinko were spared and their population halved by the beginning of 2020.
Once this information was leaked to the unsuspecting rest of the world a global panic set in. When the scientist disappeared Dai Jinko shut down their borders. They had already began releasing the viral agent in shipments and packages around the world. Dai Jinko being a leading manufacturing state of goods globally no one was spared, even if they were travelers carried the virus back home from vacation and business travel. The world quickly realized no one was safe from the virus and panic ensued.
The only thing that Dai Jinko did wrong was releasing the virus before they had a vaccine made. The only thing that could be concluded is they miss calculated how contagious and infectious the Jinko flu would be. Those infected showed signs and symptoms of those related to HIV patients with immune system weakness while gaining symptoms of pneumonia and some even developing signs of Ebola lesions. Though not every patient showed the same signs and others varied in severity. The only thing every patient had in common was their immune systems shut down. Immune systems were confused and weakened, the virus like most infections took two weeks to fully develop symptoms and by the time you had your first symptom it was a matter of time for most people.
The infection didn't discriminate, young, old, healthy, sick, no one was safe. Some families got lucky those usually living in more isolated locations had a better chance. Less population less viral infection though this was not always the case.
The first city to be hit hard was The City of Imin, all parts. Having a dense populous was not in the cities favor. The disease had been circulating the city streets before we even really knew what was happening. We knew what Dai Jinko would tell us, though them being a communist country the information was always biased and limited. Miss information in this aspect worked in Dai Jinko's favor and against everyone else.
Nord's major cities all along the coast were the next to take a large hit. Thein was hit like a tidal wave with the sick and it spread from there. Any city that had an International airport was no longer safe. Lock downs and quarantines started.
Cities once flooded with waves of people were barren seemingly over night. Internet videos started first from nurses and physicians, the fear palpable on their faces. Many of the creators were wracked with tears sobs and panic for the things they were seeing and doing. Doctors quickly became grim reapers, deciding who had a higher chance of survival than other patients. People who had any kind of illness were almost automatically told they would die from infection. The Government on all levels was trying to do damage control and save those they could, though it did not make health care workers lives any easier.
While panic and total Government shut down occurred globally economies disappeared over night. Though some did what they could within a year whole families were devastated and food shortage prevalent. If you managed to survive the viral pandemic ravaging the globe, you may not have been so lucky to survive the economic collapse and starvation that happened after.
After a year of the pandemic a vaccine was still in the process of being created. With all of the virus' characteristics and splices from other known deadly diseases made creating a vaccine nearly impossible.
There was a ray of hope in a way from a Biological research company that was prevalent in research involving bionic human organs. Where this was still very experimental, a lot of people took the chance when their families were ravaged by disease and hunger. The first release was bionic lungs, most affected by the disease usually ended up dieing from pneumonia complications, essentially slowly drowning to death. Many of the people who were considered immunodeficient, volunteered their bodies to the research to hope to save those who remained.
Desperation drove these heroic individuals and history would see them as humanities saviors as well as humanities downfall.
