Take off and shoot every virus infected monster and raider. Defend the last shelters from any kind of monster to help to survive the human race. Every defenseless convoy need your help to make it to the next secret human military base. Gather loot and supplies to get the best helicopter, shooter and gun to stop the virus-infected monster invasion that causes the plague. Seek and destroy every monster, zombie boss and the evil raider that caused doom on Earth. Maybe there’s a chance to stop the plague and make this country great again. The virus that caused the plague turned almost everybody to a monster and caused doom. The military forces are outnumbered against the plague. Monsters are everywhere spreading the virus. You have to construct a helicopter from the scrap you found in the junk yard. You also need a brave shooter with a gun to kill the monsters, free the land and stop the plague. Use your helicopter to escort every convoy that transport vital military supplies to every shooter who fights back to the virus infected monsters. Your helicopter mechanic will supply you with the most advanced helicopter and gun parts … what (, everything) he can find, in the junkyard. Mostly scrap metal. Hey, it’s the apocalypse and you expected high tech military vehicles? Fortunately, you can always find a shooter who is willing to fight for humanity. Or cash. A lot of cash. They won't work for free. Grandma Abigail always has something cool stuff under the counter. Even some military-grade stuff. She knows a few skilled shooters and pieces of military equipment in the black market. All you have to do is just ask nicely. It seems you have everything to deal with the plague, hordes of monsters, giant bosses and those punk raiders. Humanity must survive. Kill every virus-infected monster and stop the plague which caused doom but all you have is a helicopter made of scrap from the junkyard and a few hired guns.
