Spoiler :

It is the year 2099. As time moves towards the 22nd Century, humans struggle for survival. Mankind’s constant consumption of resources drove them towards extinction. Constant growth of factories, cars, fossil fuel burning and littering heat the Earth up.

By 2035 the North Pole was only water, and a few years later, Antarctica had no ice. The sea level rose up 500m by 2051, and most modern areas were under water, namely and most famously: Amsterdam. However that was not the end, as the Greenhouse effect and Global Warming took effect even further and dried up the Earth rapidly and the sea level dropped by 5 kilometres. Islands became small countries, Africa is now joined with Asia and New Zealand doubled in size.

Most of Earth is now arid desert; with the average temperature around the Earth is 35°C. Rainfall is very rare; the Earth receives about 20-25mm of rainfall a year. The only known human settlement is Spes.

Spes is a city near the region of what was once Cape Town, South Africa. With a population of 25 million, it is the only known city inhabited by mankind. 25 million people try to survive against these harsh conditions that they have created for themselves. But there is another threat, another made by mankind. One that could see them be wiped off the plant in a few months.

The Creatures – that is what they call them. They are giant robot like lizards. Their heads are elongated ovals, with large like teeth capable of tearing a human apart in seconds. Almost 3 metres in length, they tower over humans, and with their red eyes, stare at you. For a while you cannot move, standing there in shock, you desperately try to scream, you try to call out for help. But nothing comes out.

In a second the Creature runs towards you at lightning speed. Before you know it, you’re in the air, flying backwards. Their long tail catches you in mid-air, pulling you back instantly. If are lucky enough to still be alive, a poisonous stings from the tail of a Creature will wreck your body. The poison goes through your body instantly, killing all neurons (Nerve Cells) in your body. You will lie there, unable to move. The Creature will take you away to its lair. Before you are eaten, you will try to scream. There is no point. You will lay Numb.

It is the year 2099. As time moves towards the 22nd Century, humans struggle for survival. Mankind’s constant consumption of resources drove them towards extinction. The constant growth of factories, cars, fossil fuel burning and littering heated the Earth up. By 2035 the average temperature on the Earth was 35°C. The whole of North Africa was uninhabitable, as temperature soared over 45°C. By 2056, China had grown so powerful, they were twice as powerful as Russia and the USA combined. Eventually, China declared war on the world, and their brilliant new army was revealed to the world. An army so powerful, humans stood no chance against it.

They were called the Creatures. They were a combination of poisonous lizards with robotic military troops. Their lighting quick reflexes and their incredible strength made them almost impossible to destroy. China took over the whole over Asia, and was moving towards Europe. Their army of Creatures started their attempt on taking over the world. However, nature ran its course, and the mind on a Creature was no longer controlled by a robot. When cells are together long enough, they divide, grow and become specialised. The Creature grew its own brain, and destroyed its own robotic CPU. Millions of Creatures started this process. Millions of free, hungry Creatures out in the world. The world was still at war, but for the first time, not against themselves. Against a threat that could wipe mankind off the face of the Earth.

The Creature continued to slaughter humans. Mass amounts of humans moved to the city of Spes, near the Cape of Good Hope. The reason for Spes; the USA and UK decided to move their government officials there. Using all available resources, they built up Spes in the same location of Cape Town, after Cape Town’s destruction in World War Three by constant bombing.

The whole coast of South Africa sprouted with cities, and Spes grew into a giant metropolis. With a population of 20 million, surviving on the Mediterranean climate of the Cape, farms grew all over the outskirts of Spes. However, the Creatures came towards Spes. In a last ditch attempt, 10 million men marched towards battle. The Creatures slaughtered the men. In just 2 days, 5 million men died. However, in a sudden change of events, the Creatures grew sick. A virus, now called the K2C2 started weakening the Creatures. It attacked their lungs, and they struggled to breathe. The humans quickly took advantage of this. They wiped out almost 8 million Creatures in 2 weeks. Over a year, not a single Creature was spotted. Scientists later discovered the virus that affected the Creatures. Known as H7N3, or more commonly, a type of Influenza. The War for Survival was over, and humans live in peace.
