Dead in Love — Colby Van Wagoner

In a small town, residents are aware of the basic operations taking place in a nearby military facility. What they don't know, is the facility has developed two different, top secret compounds that they have been testing on lab animals and humans, taken from nearby hospitals. A few test subjects manage to escape the facility and wander into the surrounding area, infecting local residents. The military attempts to quarantine and contain the virus, spreading throughout the town, by declaring martial law and setting up a perimeter around the town. Little do they know, the virus has already spread outside the town's perimeter. Baxter is a local resident, fighting to save his life and the love of his life, Laylianna, during the zombie apocalypse, but he becomes Dead in Love.
