Baltimore (Project Noah)

Baltimore is a major city located in Maryland, United States. It was the ground zero for the Zombie Fish Worm infections.

Pre-Outbreak
Baltimore in April 2015 suffered numerous protests and riots, especially among the African-American community, over death of Freddie Grey on the hands of Baltimore PD officers. The protests highlighted the current issue of police brutality especially to minorities/ethnicities, especially African-Americans. The protests ended on May 1, 2015, but the movement for justice still continues on.

Zombie Fish Worm Outbreak
Baltimore was the first city to report outbreaks of the Zombie Fish Worm parasite on March 21, 2017. By March 22, Patient Zero infected several hospital staff members before being putdown by hospital security guards. The following day, the same people infected by Patient Zero would infected others, prompting a lockdown of the hospital. However, the infected started pouring out to the city, clashing with police and citizens and infecting more people. On March 26, the Maryland National Guard was deployed, along with FEMA and the DHS-SRT. By this time, there were already cases of infection in some cities in the East Coast of the United States.

Baltimore was overrun by April 2017. Only a few pockets of survivors remain, namely surviving police, SWAT, National Guard soldiers, DHS operatives, armed civilians, and African-American gangsters who control various survivor outposts within the ruined city.
