"Uhh, W-we're live."
"Shit we are!? This is *Static* and I'm here at the Zootopian General Hospital, and we've just gotten reports of numerous patients dying to this apparently unknown disease *Static* There are reports that the Army and the Zootopian National Guard have officially declared Martial Law."
"It all happened so fast... We weren't prepared to deal with this new threat..."
"As you can see, the Zootopian National Guard, and CDC hazmat units have just arrived on scene and appear to be moving. *Static* Oh god! I think I'm gonna throw- cut the camera!"
"They told us it was a simple quarantine operation for this 'Unknown Lethal Disease'. Humph, I should have known there was something more to it."
"Why are we still rolling!? Get into the fucking van!... I said turn that shit of- *Static*"
"Just like us, Zootopia's citizens weren't prepared for something of this scale."
"And we're live!"
"Hello *Static* here again, roadblocks have been placed throughout the city's roads. As you can see behind me, we've been redirected into a designated safe zone *Screams!* What the hell is going on?"
"Millions died within a few hours of the outbreak, there was nothing we could do to save them."
"What's going o- *Gunshots* Oh my god, they just killed somebody. *Static* Wait he's still alive."
"The dead didn't stay dead, we thought guns could solve everything, but they just kept coming... "
"Oh my god, how is this juguar still aliv- *Sreams* *Gunfire* Oh god... That jaguar just b-bit part of that solider's nec- *Gurgle* Shut the camera off."
"And just like that; it spread across into the surrounding towns. The City's safe zones were overrun. No-one was safe."
"A-As you can see, something very strange is happening in Zootopia, I recommend that everyone who can't make it to a safe zone; hunker down in their homes."
"They craved living flesh, even infected prey turned into blood thirsty predators."
"There a lot of mammals in distress, apparently family members are going missing all over our current safe zone, we're gonna see if we can help someone out."
"I couldn't save anyone, I couldn't save them... I left you alone in that city. They told me everything was gonna be okay, and that I was to be deployed somewhere else."
"Ma'am are you alright? Do you need help?"
"YES, I'm looking for my husband, he said he'd be here."
"Do you have any idea where he might be?"
"No, but he's working with the army, he told me that he'd be stationed here."
"I believed them, and they were wrong. They left her in that fucking city to fend for herself."
"What's his name, maybe he watching the news."
"Sparky honey, where are you? Please come find me... I'm scared."
"Don't worry Ma'am I'm sure he's alri- *ROARING*."
"OH GOD THEY'RE INSIDE! EVERYBODY RUN!"
"Shit, turn off the cam *Static* Oh god Wh-what are those things!? Shit they're hundreds of them, run dammit run!"
"They're too fast! Run *Screams* run!"
"We're not gonna make it! *Static* OH GOD, THEY'RE GONNA GET US, I DONT WANNA DI- *Static*."

"Damn gas!" A husky growled as he drove down a withered road in a possibly stolen black 1969 Shelby Cobra Mustang . "Good thing there's a service station just ahead." He sighed in relief.
Zootopia and it's surrounding towns, and cities, have been overrun with a highly contagious disease. The government has ordered a complete quarantine of Zootopia and all other surrounding cities. The military was supposedly helping survivors, but have been given strict orders to not take in any survivors due to the risk of infecting the remaining military power.
The city of Zootopia is considered the most highly infectious place to scavenge even the remaining military forces are afraid to retake it. It is also confirmed that this "unknown outbreak" started in the city.
"There you are." The husky whispered to himself, as he saw the service station appear over the horizon. He drove a little faster, the V8 engine roared, as the husky pushed down on the accelerator. There was a slight growling coming from the husky's stomach. "Hopefully, there's something to eat too." The husky said to himself, as he slowly started pulling into the gas station's entrance. The husky slowed down his car and parked next to a gas pump, before shutting off the engine and exiting from the drivers side.
The husky had black fur, with white fur running down his chin and all the way down to his tail. His eyes were a blood red color, he was wearing a Woodland BDU with two Sergeant First Class patches on his BDU jacket's collars, he also had a patch to the right of his chest that read "Sparks". His pants were tucked into his black boots, there was also two sheaths around both of his legs, one seemed to be carrying a handgun while the other seemed to be holding a combat knife.
The husky, who's named appeared to be Sparks, stretched his back and legs, he stood at a height of "5.6" feet tall. "I'm almost there sweetheart." Spark said, as he leaned onto the the drivers door, and pulled out a small notebook from a pocket located on the left side of his camouflaged jacket. "Let's see here... 250 miles left... Stop for supplies here and here and..." Before Spark could finish writing down notes he was interrupted by loud shuffling coming from inside the store.
Spark looked up to face the stores general direction, he closed his notebook and slowly started walking towards the stores front entrance. The double doors seemed to be missing, which meant anything could've gotten inside. As Spark neared the front entrance a figure kneeling on all fours slowly walked out from inside.
Spark immediately froze, and watched the figure, who appeared to be a male wolf, but was missing patches of his fur, exposing a yellowish skin underneath. Spark widened his eyes, as he stood completely still. The strange wolf was looking down at the ground, and was frantically looking from side to side.
It's eyes appeared to be missing, which explained it's frantic head movements. Spark took a heavy step back towards his car, which caused the wolf to snap it's head up at Spark. The wolf snarled viciously at Spark's direction; it's teeth were yellow and covered in old blood. "What is this thing?" Spark thought to himself. Sparks noticed that the wolf's ears were twitching. "Sound!" Spark thought to himself, as he slowly reached for his knife located on his left leg. "That thing must be using its remaining senses, hopefully it's nose isn't functional."
The crazed wolf bared it's rotten canines, muzzle missing pieces of flesh and fur. Spark pulled out a black Bowie knife, and took small gentle steps backwards towards his car, he was so preoccupied that he didn't even notice he was about to step on a shattered beer bottle.
*CRUNCH*
The wolf almost immediately pounced foward towards Sparks, fortunately he jumped out of the way, and watched as the wolf landed on all fours were he once stood. The wolf was panting heavily, while it was salivating blood from its infection riddled mouth, landing onto the ground just below him.
Spark couldn't help but pant heavily himself, he's never encountered such an aggressive infected. The wolf roared into the air and charged Sparks. He was able to barely dodge the infected wolf's pounce, but the infected wolf became extremely aggravated; it turned and grabbed Sparks by the right ankle by what seemed to be the speed of light, and pulled him onto the ground face flat.
Spark began to panic, but kept his cool. He rolled onto his back and repeatedly kicked the wolf in the face with his Free foot.
The wolf snarled in annoyance, and jumped on top of Sparks, grabbing him by the head. The wolf began forcing Spark's neck towards his gaping mouth, Spark desperately tried pushing him away, but the wolf's unbelievable strength began to slowly overwhelm him.
"I'm not going down like this, NOT TODAY!" Spark yelled, stabbing the wolf in the neck repeatedly, causing blood to splatter all over his enraged face. He could feel the tight grasp around his head weaken, so Spark pushed the wolf back and was able to kick it away. The wolf flew onto it's back and started thrashing around. Spark slowly stood up and walked over to the thrashing wolf. Spark stood over the wolf and stared down at it. Spark picked up his leg and started stomping the wolf in the head. After a few seconds of continuous stomping, the infected wolf stopped moving.
Spark panted heavily sweet rolling down the side of his head beneath his fur. "Fuck me..." Spark said, leaning over on a nearby gas pump. He walked over to his car and looked inside for a cloth, he found a white T-shirt, and used it to wipe his face and his knife of blood.
Spark place his Bowie back into its respective sheath, before looking back into his car once again. He threw the T-shirt onto the backseat, and grabbed a Woodland camouflaged tactical backpack. Spark put the backpack on, and closed the cars door, before carefully walking into the store. He remained alert at all times, but when he noticed he had the place on lockdown and there wasn't anymore of those... "Things" he began scavenging for anything he could use to survive the drive.
As Spark dug around he was able to find two cans of bean, and a five cans of peaches, and was fortunate enough to find four unopened water bottles lying on the ground. He placed all the supplies he collected in one pile, and took of his backpack, so he could place the supplies inside. Once the supplies were secure, Spark zipped his backpack closed, and place it over his back. He went over to a corner where he had noticed two red Jerry Cans placed side-by-side.
Spark picked up both of the red containers, and proceeded to exit the store, he placed down the cans behind the car, before twisting off the Shelby Cobra gas cap in between the rear lights. He picked up one of the cans that already had a tube protruding from it, and carefully started poring gas into his car.
Once the cars tank was full, Spark threw the empty jerry cans to the side, he then opened the passengers door so he could place his backpack on the passenger seat. But before Spark could get in his car and drive off he looked back up at the store, he had the feeling something useful was still inside.
Spark closed the drivers door and jogged into the store for a second time, but this time he approached an open door behind the registers desk that he surprisingly never noticed, and cautiously slowly walked inside, he was suddenly taken back when he found the skeletal remains of a moose, who was probably a employee, inside leaning against a wall. There was dry blood covering the floor around the corpse, there was also a double barreled 12-gauge shotgun lying on the corpse's legs.
Spark approached the corpse, and carefully picked up the shotgun. He popped it open to only find a single bullet left. Spark closed it and noticed a box lying next to the body; it was ammo for the shotgun. He didn't hesitate to pick up the box of ammo, but in doing so revealed a cassette player underneth it. Spark kneeled down, placing the shotgun to his side, and picked up the cassette player, he dusted it off and examined it. He popped it open revealing a tape labeled in messy handwriting "Green Fields".
Spark removed the tape, and closed the cassette player, he placed it inside a pocket, while he kept the tape in his paw. He picked up the shotgun and kneeled back up. He proceeded to exit the room closing the door behind him. Spark walked back to his car, and entered through the drivers side he placed the shotgun in the backseat and inserting the key into the ignition, turning on the car in one quick twist.
The car roared to life, as it's powerful V8 engine were sparked to life. Spark brought the cassette tape up to his eye level before injecting it into the cars built in cassette player. He lowered his window and shifted the car into drive, before promptly driving off. The song Green Fields by Brothers Four began to play, as Spark cruised down the long stretch of road. He felt the air whooshing through his fur; it reminded him of childhood memories, when his father used let him stick his head out of the car's open window. The moment was peaceful for Sparks. It was a breath of fresh air for him. He was so caught up in the moment that he ignored a sign.
