The United Kingdoms believed they had prevented the virus from spreading further into Europe, but they were wrong. The United Nations believed they had prevented the virus from reaching the West continents, but they were wrong…
I did some modifications in the chapters to improve clarity. After a few comments saying the structure of the story was a bit confusing, I decided to put some side notes here and there to help people understand how the different chapters are built. I also had some comments about the time line so, from now on, I'll add some details at the begining of each chapter to help the reader find out exactly where in the story a particular sequence is. Hope you like the changes! Oh, one more thing: I will also put some real titles to the chapters so that it refers/representents what will be in that part of the story.

28 weeks after the original Outbreak, civilians reinstated in safe zone
We thought we had it under control, but I guess we were wrong. The units that we had to protect the civilians are scattered across the city and most of them are probably dead… We did everything we could to contain it, but it all happened so fast. It came to a point where we could not even see the difference anymore; which ones were infected, which were not. So we have been given the ultimate order, the ultimate attempt to limit our failure.
The voice that echoed in his ear was distorted and oddly calm.
Sergeant Stone, we are now engaging code red, I repeat, we are now engaging code red.
Stone feared this order would come, but as the Commanding Officer, he knew he had to apply it without any hesitation. At this point, it was a matter of life or death, not only for his men and himself, but for the entire country, if not more.
Sweat was rolling down his forehead as he brought the radio to his mouth, taking a deep breath before pressing the button with determination.
Attention all units, we are now engaging code red, I repeat, we are now engaging code red. You are to put all of them down. No one must leave the perimeter. I repeat, none of them must leave the perimeter alive.
But then again, we failed miserably. We knew the risks it would imply if we did not follow that order, but the idea of killing all of them for the greater good did not appeal to everyone of us. We tried to rescue some, but lost most of them to our own snipers while attempting to get out of the city. We barely made it to safety before the higher powers sent planes to firebomb the zone in order to prevent further spreading. Those of us left thought we would be safe for a while. Hope poured through when a fellow soldier of mine contacted us and announced he was on his way with a helicopter, but we were not out of the woods yet. When the infected appeared on the horizon as we were waiting for Flynn, panic re-surfaced and we were forced to return in the wrecked city. Flynn was going to get us at the Wembley Stadium, but that meant we had to avoid not only the infected, but the military reinforcements, also ordered with code red, as well. When we got cornered by the two different groups, I got Andy, Tammy and Scarlet into a car and when we realised it was not starting, I knew I had no choice…
For the greater good.
