((Aight here goes. Operation Atomic Tide was a military undertaking to clear the major cities of America of zombies. Despite their best efforts, most units were simply overwhelmed and destroyed by the tidal waves of undead. Murdoch's company was charged with securing southwest Atlanta, but found themselves outmatched. By the end of day one Murdoch's company had been reduced from 130 men to about 47 Marines and 19 scared civilians. The next day they encountered the 17 survivors of a National Guard unit fighting off a large group of zombies. As the Marines stopped to help they found themselves overwhelmed, and only an estimated 12 men escaped. To this day there only 2000 confirmed survivors of the soldiers and 356 civilians taking place in this bibical fuckup. It's rumored that so few civilians survived because desperate soldiers used the panicked survivors at meat shields rather than risk losing their own men))
