Storyline:

Russian Terrorists release a nuclear toxin known as ‘Radiate X15’ all over the world, in the hope that they could dominate the world.

On their way to Moscow, Apollo 10’s chopper runs out of fuel and are forced to abandon the helicopter in Omsk, a city in Russia which has been dominated by zombies that have crossed from Kazakhstan and Mongolia to Russia and have traveled to nearby Russian cities, and is over  1000miles from Moscow. Apollo 10 will encounter many survivors on their journey to Moscow, but not all the survivors are Russian, many survivors come from different countries in the world in the hope of sanctuary. Apollo 10 will also find many vehicles and weapons on their way to Moscow, and many survivors that have gone insane and are killing other survivors, which they must tackle by killing them.
