Six students. One university. One secret that should have remained buried forever. Rehan, Zain, Sarah, Elisa, Harry, and Ethan begin their first day at university expecting nothing more than lectures, friendships, and a new chapter in life. But hidden beneath the science laboratory lies Project Lazarus—a classified biological experiment capable of turning humans into relentless monsters. One mistake unleashes the infection. Within hours, the campus becomes a battlefield. Soon... The entire world begins to fall. With food running out, trust becoming rare, and death waiting around every corner, survival is no longer a choice... It's the only rule left. In a world where one bite can end everything... How far would you go to stay alive?
