The zombie apocalypse

The "bad death" flower is a flower with 2 red petals and a thin stem that measures 25cm long and can only grow on the corpses of infected people.

This flower releases handcuffs to infect small rodents so that they, in turn, infect and spread the virus much further.

The flower does not usually affect humans or significantly large animals, but rodents infected by the spores can.

It is currently the year 2058.

The planet was once again ruled by vegetation, although ruins of abandoned cities still stand.

Places like cities or tourist sites usually have a higher concentration of infected people.

America: This continent is a very unstable place with respect to the virus; the virus is more abundant in the north than in the south.

Europe: This continent was taken over by the virus; the continent is mostly populated by infected people.

Africa: This continent is a place of death, here the flower of Bad Death abounds, although this did not prevent some groups or people from settling here.

Asia: This continent is stable with respect to the virus, it is under control, although the conditions of this continent are perfect for the flowers of Mala muerte to bloom, although every day there is an attempt to control the population of these.

Communities are usually groups of 50 to 700 people. They are characterized by having an established refuge and are typically governed by the following hierarchy, from most important to least important:
Leader: person in charge. (There can be more than one person in charge)
Merchants: people who normally meet people's basic needs; merchants are usually directly protected by the leaders.
Explorers: people who go outside to look for resources or weapons.
Guards: people who watch over the surroundings and make sure that no infected person enters.
Thugs: people who did not contribute anything beneficial to the community.

Some examples of these communities are:
The "Peace" community is located in Asia and has approximately 567 people in it.

The "death" community, located in North America, has approximately 432 people. This community's monarchy is harsher, with sadism abounding among the leaders and people of higher rank.

The "swamp" community, located in South America, has approximately 289 people.

There are many more communities, but these 3 are the best known and most stable.

Human survival is difficult; they typically move in small groups, with each person usually responsible for a specific need, although this isn't always the case. Groups usually consist of 2 to 15 people.

You can also go alone, although in this way the survivors have to do everything themselves, but they also don't have to bear the burden of supporting a group of people.

A host can become infected through zombie bites, or by having contaminated blood enter a wound, mouth, ears, eyes, or nose. Symptoms after infection include vomiting blood, red eyes, and a feeling of bone weakness. Following these symptoms, the host begins to convulse until finally succumbing to the virus.
This can turn any host into any type of zombie except a conscious zombie.

Conscious Zombie: The only way a person becomes a conscious zombie is if they are in a state of adrenaline and pain tolerance similar to that experienced during childbirth. When a person is attacked by a zombie while in this state, it is the only way the body can resist the virus and prevent it from taking complete control. The symptoms after being bitten are paleness, weakness, fatigue, and extreme dizziness, followed by fainting. After an indefinite period, the host awakens.
Cases of conscious zombies are very rare, since it is almost impossible for all these events to happen at the same time.

After five months, the infected begin to develop roots in their chests. After a month of these roots sprouting, a stem emerges, from which a flower blooms. The flower has two red petals and releases spores daily. These spores infect rodents, which, taking advantage of their small size, infect larger prey, which in turn infect even larger prey, thus repeating the cycle. When the flower blooms, the virus dies, but the flower remains. The body becomes practically food for scavengers, as it is completely useless and incapable of doing anything once the flower blooms. This can happen to all types of zombies except sentient zombies.

Conscious zombies do not go through this process. Instead, after four months of infection, a single petal discreetly grows in their hair, which is responsible for releasing the spores. These are not visible to the naked eye.

Common zombies: These zombies do not have any special characteristics, they are slightly slower than a normal human, they are also slightly less strong than a normal human, they are the most common zombies.

Fast Zombies: There's not much science behind these, they are zombies that are very fast, but in exchange for speed they sacrifice strength and reflexes.

Strong zombies: These are zombies with inhuman strength; they are usually large, but speed and stability are sacrificed.

Intelligent zombies: They don't have much strength, nor much speed, but these zombies are able to predict movements, or even create strategies.

Conscious zombies: These zombies are people who did not finish dying in the infection process, practically conscious people who crave flesh; these zombies are impossible to differentiate between healthy humans and themselves.

Mutant Zombies: These are those that possess characteristics outside of these categories. These zombies can be unpredictable, since, like any part of the body, they can mutate for better or worse; it is impossible to deduce their advantages or disadvantages.

All zombies have strong bites.

Conscious zombies can normally coexist with humans, although their bite wounds are slightly green.
These zombies have a need to eat human flesh; if they don't eat it for a while, they begin to experience these symptoms:
The host begins to pale, their eyes turn slightly red, and their stomach grows heavy. Then their eyes become completely red, the wound turns greener, and they begin to lose their balance. Finally, the host goes completely insane, the wound becomes a disgusting green, their eyes begin to weep blood, and their body loses all balance. This process takes 24 to 32 hours to complete.
The only way to avoid this is to constantly eat human flesh. If you are in the final stage of abstaining from human flesh, the only way to avoid this is to find a human and eat them completely, down to the bones. After this, the host faints and everything returns to normal.

The virus is a prehistoric bacterium that, when it enters a host, directly attacks the brain, seeking to kill the body so that when it succeeds, it can take over its powers to continue reproducing its species.

The virus kills the host, so there is no possibility of finding a cure for those already infected.

The process of turning a host into a zombie can take anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the host's size. The average time for a human to turn is 3 minutes.

The virus attacks humans and animals; the virus cannot infect plants.
