The Viral Outbreak of 2038

The Viral Outbreak of 2038 was the world epidemic of the Jangshi Virus created and released by Pentacorp as a weapons test. Mercer, the president of Pentacorp targeted China because of it's dense population and distance from the United States where Pentacorp is based. The initial impact of the contagion crippled the Chinese government, breaking the countries control over national quarantine; thus allowing the virus to spread world wide. Consequentially, world governments collapsed leading to a period of international lawlessness known as the Age of Anarchy.
