On July 6th, 2017 the first major case of the Sanguineous Terrestris, or now commonly called "Blood Bugs" appearing in the United States. A town in Vermont went under quarantine as the government went into action. Overnight half the towns population was rendered dead or dying. Less than a quarter was considered alive and immune to the virus, while the other quarter was kept under wraps. Word didn't get out of the mutations the Blood Bugs did to certain individuals. Increased physical attributes and lose of intelligence. No better than feral animals as the Bugs deteriorate the brain, while fueling muscles. The teeth of these mutants adapted to fierce jaws of sharp teeth, perfect for tearing flesh. These hosts of the parasites quickly hunted down the survivors of quarantine before trying to escape the quarantine.
It was believed to infect animals and humans alike, and soon it spread across the country. Before scientist had knowledge of the parasitic worm that lived inside the host, thousands were dead in the states alone. Third world countries in Central and South America conditions were much worse, and soon it was world wide. Finally a break through was received by a team of scientist in Asia
Blood Types
Blood types O+ and O- were prime host for the Blood Bugs, and they quickly adapted into the mutants that roam the world today.
Blood Types A and B - weren't mutated, and were treatable with medication.
Blood Types A and B + Untreatable, and didn't mutate.
Blood Types AB+ and AB- Blood Bugs died in host, and host received minor side effects such as headaches and chills.
By then it was too late. The majority of third world countries were in chaos, and the United States was in no better condition. The ground zero sight became a hive for the Bugs, and through birds and other wild life spread rapidly. In a final effort to preserve life, the government funded cruises and other large boats to carry anyone not infected off the mainland. Those that were found infected were either turned away, or killed.
Two years later and the worlds no better. Any attempt the US has made on reclaiming the land has failed, and those that remain struggle to survive. Will you?
