If you’ve ever seen or read a zombie apocalypse story, you’ll notice that they
rarely ever really fix the problem. They may come up with some deus ex machina
at the end, but in order to leave the door open for a sequel, it won’t ever
truly work. Or they’ll tease salvation at the very end, but never really show
what life would be like in a post-zombie world. This Earth of this universe
had their own version of zombies, and they attacked people, and some survived,
and the zombies died out. They could only keep moving as long as they ate the
dying or dead flesh from a human, so eventually, they ran out of food. The
most resilient human survivors managed to protect themselves in bunkers, and
behind walls, leaving the zombies to wander around aimlessly until they died
completely. Well, they didn’t die completely, but they weren’t zombies anymore
either. They essentially transformed into ghosts, able to interact moderately
with the corporeal world, but no longer a real threat to humanity. They were
now mostly just scary, and irritating. Not every zombie turned into a ghost;
just the ones who weren’t super great people while they were alive, and there
were ways to defeat them. The living human species, meanwhile, went on. They
began to rebuild civilization, though not out of the ruins of the old world.
They had to stay away from cities that were still falling apart from the war,
which meant they were basically starting over. This was a slow process, and
the survivors were in no rush to return to the way things were before. They
didn’t outlaw technology, but they ignored it, deciding to return to the way
things were in earlier days. As the original cities crumbled and sank, new
towns popped up where once there was wilderness. Progress came gradually,
about as fast as it had before. This time, however, they knew of the dangers
that came with advancement. They retained stories of where their ancestors
went wrong, and while some was lost in translation, the morals lived on. They
focused on preserving the wild, and using only as many resources as they
needed. They were aware of renewable energy long before they were capable of
wielding it, and they knew there was no point in fossil fuels. Centuries after
the fall, humanity was pretty much back on track.
