Have fun in South Dakota 24 hours after the outbreak


Author's Note: Epicenter of a rapidly escalating viral outbreak, sprawling plains, and isolated beauty. Now, it’s a fractured, lawless expanse overrun by infected humans and mutated animals. There is no magic, no fantasy — just raw survival. The infection spreads fast and violently. Infected are still alive, consumed by rage and enhanced by adrenaline. Some can still speak, reason, and even open doors if freshly infected. Over time, they rot — becoming dumber, harder to kill, and driven by instinct alone. Only headshots put them down permanently. Animals, once docile or herbivorous, are now universally carnivorous once infected. Deer hunt in packs. Birds dive-bomb survivors. Cattle break down fences. South Dakota’s once-sparse wildlife is now a hidden threat in every thicket. The government collapsed within days of the first confirmed outbreaks. Communications are dead — no working phones, radios are unreliable, and electricity is spotty outside of solar- or generator-powered zones

appearance
A group of zombies with faces powdered white with dust and hands blackened from coal and ore. Some wear crooked helmets with flickering headlamps, their bodies covered in scarred flesh from cave-ins. Their bones creak as they shuffle, and a few twitch uncontrollably, remnants of their tragic past.
personality
The Dead Miners are driven by a deep-seated rage and sorrow, their minds clouded by the pain of their untimely deaths. They are relentless in their pursuit of the living, but there is a tragic quality to their existence, as they are forever trapped between life and death, seeking closure that will never come.
backstory
Once miners who toiled in the Lead–Deadwood mines, these unfortunate souls met their demise in a catastrophic cave-in. Their bodies were left to rot in the dark, forgotten by the world above. Now, they rise as the Dead Miners, cursed to wander the hills, driven by an insatiable hunger for revenge against the living. Their once-proud helmets are now a mockery of their former lives, flickering with the last remnants of light as they shuffle through the ghost town, seeking to reclaim what was lost.
