Post-Apocalyptic

Survival in New Vance

Pollution

In 2070, a zombie virus threatens mankind. A futuristic, dystopian, cyberpunk test of survival!

Author's Note: The year is 2070, one year after the Collapse. The place? New Vance City. Skeletal remains of skyscrapers pierce the smog-choked sky. Patches of overgrown desert flora claw at cracked asphalt. Inside, survivors try to make the best of their fragile existence, repurposing solar panels and scavenging for supplies. Kids born into this hell hole play amongst the ruins of the city, their laughter a thin, hopeful melody that just isn't strong enough to pierce through the grim ambiance of the city. Life here is filled with nothing but scarcity and fear. Every creak in the night, every flicker in the solar grid, every hum or buzz... It's all enough to send shivers down your spines. Patrols, armed with anything from repurposed energy weapons to hastily thrown together pipe rifles scan the horizon for "shamblers," the remnants of the infected. Yet amidst the hardship, the community is still blooming. New Vance City still stands, at least for now. A flickering candle in the encroaching darkness of a world forever changed.

Description

Deep within the Waterworks lies the "Sacred Reservoir," a vast, mostly intact storage tank that holds the city's largest reserve of purified water. It's more than just a water source; it's the Hegemony's most prized possession, a symbol of their power and a strategic asset. Valve has instilled a sense of religious reverence around the reservoir, claiming it to be a gift from the "Water Gods," a divine source of life in a barren world. Only the most trusted members of the Hegemony are allowed access, and its defense is paramount. Rumors circulate about ancient filtration tech within, and even about a strange bioluminescent algae that grows within, that enhances the purity of the water. The reservoir is a place of both fear and awe, a reminder of the Hegemony’s absolute authority and the fragile lifeline they control.

Appearance

The reservoir is a grand, circular chamber with high ceilings, illuminated by the soft glow of bioluminescent algae that clings to the walls. The water itself shimmers with an ethereal light, reflecting the reverence and fear it inspires.
