The story of End of The Road

The Story (long version)

Starts off with the news from different channels talking about the outbreak of a virus, which was meant to cure cancer instead mutated into a lethal strain. This highly contagious virus has spread throughout the world, killing 90% of humanity. The remaining survivors become predatory beings known as Biters that prey on those who have not been infected. Some people who have not been infected have resorted to cannibalism due to the collapse of civilization. So far no one has been immune to the virus.

10 months later, shows a father coming back to his house after searching for supplies. Turns on his radio as usual and finally after months of hoping to hear someone’s voice, he hears a broadcast about a survivor’s camp in Texas.

Decides to pack what little things he has and sets off on a journey with his young son over a period of several months.

While exploring a large mansion, the pair discover prisoners in the basement; serving as a food supply for their absent captors. When four armed cannibals return, knowing that their discovery is imminent, the father acted fast and shot all of them, took his son and ran away. However, he only killed three of them and one was slightly injured. This cannibal decides to hunt down the father and his son and kill them.

When exploring a deserted supermarket, the father notices two Biters. The father told his son to run and hide while he fought of the Biters. After killing them, the man goes looking for his son only to find him lying on the floor bleeding and a dead Biter lying next to him. He was about to use the revolver he had on his son when he realizes that the son does not become one of the Biters. It turns out his son is immune to the virus.

During their trek, the father searches a ruined town hoping to find food and medicine. The father heard a sound and when he turned to look at his son, the cannibal from the mansion was holding a knife to his son’s throat. The cannibal told the father to put away his gun, which he held in his hand. While the father was going to lay the gun on the floor, his son bit the cannibal’s hand, resulting the cannibal to let go of the son. The son ran towards his father. Meantime, the father was about to shoot the cannibal before the cannibal came at him and attacked him with the knife. However, before the father shot him dead, he was stabbed in the right leg. The father coughs blood from time to time and eventually realizes he is dying; yet still struggles to protect his son from the constant threats of attack, exposure, and starvation.

A day was only left before they reached the survivors camp. However, the father succumbs to an illness. Before he dies, he tells his son the values of self-preservation and humanity. The boy holds wake over the corpse for days, with no idea of what to do next. On the third day, the boy decided to continue to the survivor’s camp. He finally reaches the place and was greeted by the survivor’s colony.
