March of The Dead

After a long period of inertia, The Dead rose as February 2008 ended, in an attempt to slaughter every last survivor in Malton. Quickly rising to power - within a week it had become the largest horde ever seen - the horde began to cut a swath of blood through Malton. Many have begun referring to this period as the March of the Dead.
The March drew to a close sometime after syringe search rates were revamped to vastly favor survivors, however The Dead remain active on a smaller scale. You can't fight deus ex machina.
