Campus of the undead
At the heart of Nigeria’s academic pride, Eko University, life for students revolves around exams, friendships, and dreams of a brighter future. But all of that changes when a cryptic video from an underground group called Zotes sends shockwaves across the nation. Their chilling ultimatum: the government must release 5 billion naira within a week—or face a nightmare unleashed.
No one takes them seriously until the first outbreak.
A mysterious virus spreads rapidly through the university campus, turning students and staff into mindless, bloodthirsty creatures. As the infection spirals out of control, the government seals off the campus, leaving survivors trapped with nowhere to run.
In the midst of the chaos, a mismatched group of students bands together. Their only aim to survive. Now, with time running out and betrayal lurking among them, the group must fight their way through infected lecture halls and crumbling dormitories to find the cure and stop the madness from spilling into the outside world.
In this intense tale of survival, loyalty, and sacrifice, Campus of the Dead explores the price of ambition and the fragile line between order and anarchy.

Chapter: Orders from the deadLuke stood frozen, his thoughts racing as he tried to make sense of what he’d just witnessed. What the hell was that? Zombies don’t move like that. Are they even zombies? The memory of their precise, coordinated attack churned in his mind, leaving a cold weight in his chest. “Bloody hell!” Collins exclaimed, pacing frantically. “What was that? We’ve got to get out of here! We can’t stay in this death trap—we’ve been exposed!” Collins’ words snapped Luke out of his daze. He shook his head, forcing himself to focus. Across the room, Mira gripped a shard of glass so tightly her knuckles turned white. “Mira,” Luke said, his voice tight as he gently wrenched the glass from her hand. “Did you see that? They weren’t just attacking—they had a plan. They were working together.” “I saw it,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “It’s like...they knew what they were doing.” “They took Bayo,” Jeff muttered from the corner, his voice hollow. “Dragged him like he mattered to them.” “Val

Chapter: Shadows of betrayalsAmos paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, the faint hum of the overhead bulb doing little to soothe his growing frustration. "What the hell is wrong with them!?" he spat, his voice sharp with anger. He dragged his hand through his disheveled hair, his breath coming in short bursts. "I told them to keep it quiet. Just stay in the shadows, but no—they had to involve those damned terrorists!" Amos’s mind raced, piecing together the fragments of chaos. The serum—the very thing he had sworn to keep hidden—was now at the center of this unfolding nightmare. How had Zotes learned about it? Worse, how had they turned it into a weapon? He clenched his fists, veins bulging against his skin. His phone buzzed, jolting him out of his thoughts. This time, the caller ID read Unknown Number. He hesitated, his thumb hovering over the screen before answering. "Who is this?" he barked. A gravelly voice responded, calm yet laced with menace. "Governor Amos. We've been expecting your call. S

Chapter: The Choreographed Chaos
“Damn it! Of all schools, why hers?!” Joseph Erickson cursed, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white. The car roared down the highway, his foot pressing hard on the accelerator, daring the engine to give out. “If anything happens to her... I swear to God, those bastards are going to pay. Every last one of them!” he yelled, slamming the dashboard for emphasis. Joseph wasn’t just any soldier—he’d recently been promoted to sergeant, and he took pride in his discipline. But hearing that Mira, his younger sister, was trapped in a terrorist attack, all that discipline flew out the window. And zombies? The thought made him scoff angrily. Zombies sounded like a bad joke, but the situation wasn’t funny. “What the hell is the government even doing, letting things get this bad?” he muttered, punching the steering wheel. His phone buzzed on the passenger seat. He glanced at the screen before snatching it up and putting it on speaker. “Yeah, Dad, I’m not tu

Chapter: Shadows within The orange glow of the evening sky spilled through the cracks in the boarded windows, casting long shadows across the storage room. The muffled groans outside had faded, replaced by the occasional scrape of undead feet shuffling across the pavement. Inside, the group sat in uneasy silence, their nerves fraying with every passing second.Luke stood by the barricade, his eyes scanning the darkening campus outside. His thoughts, however, were locked on Akin and his group, seated in the corner. The unease in his chest had only grown since Bayo's arrival.Bayo lay on a makeshift bed of torn-up jackets and cushions. His pale, sweat-soaked face twitched as he drifted in and out of consciousness. Jeff crouched beside him, carefully cleaning a jagged wound on his arm."He's burning up," Jeff said, glancing at Luke. "But he's alive. For now.""Alive and infected," Collins muttered, pacing the room. He tightened his grip on the metal pipe he carried. "We’re sitting ducks if he turns in here.""H

Chapter: Trust and TeethThe banging at the door grew louder, splinters flying off the barricade with each hit. The tension in the room was suffocating, a mixture of fear and suspicion thickening the air. Everyone held their makeshift weapons tightly, their eyes darting between the door and each other. Luke’s gaze fell once again on Akin, who sat unbothered, his arms crossed. His relaxed demeanor infuriated Luke. How could someone be so calm when chaos was clawing at their only line of defense? “Help reinforce the barricade!” Luke barked, directing his order at Akin and Charles. Akin didn’t budge. “And risk being the first one dragged out? No, thanks.” “You’re unbelievable,” Collins growled, stepping forward with the metal pipe in his hands. “Collins, not now!” Mira snapped, grabbing his arm. “Focus!” Jeff and Justin rushed to push a heavy cabinet against the door, adding another layer of protection. Favour fumbled with his book, muttering what sounded like prayers under his breath. Luke glanced at Mir

Chapter: Cracks in the planThe storage building was eerily quiet. Inside, the air was thick with unease. The group had done their best to barricade the door, but the makeshift barricade of old shelves and desks didn’t feel strong enough. Favour perched on a crate, thumbing through the battered virology book he’d salvaged from the library. He mumbled to himself, occasionally glancing nervously around. Justin, unfazed as usual, was munching on a pack of biscuits he’d somehow stashed in his bag. “You seriously brought snacks during a zombie outbreak?” Collins snapped, his irritation rising. “What? Comfort food,” Justin said with a shrug. “You’d be amazed how thinking clearly works when you’re not starving.” Collins grunted, muttering something under his breath as he resumed pacing. Luke leaned against a wall, his arms crossed, eyes fixed on Akin and his small group of students. They had been in the building before the outbreak started, and that fact gnawed at Luke. Akin seemed too relaxed, too prepared,
