When the driver stops the ambulance, Liam and the newly-infected paramedics break out and assault him. The family follow the ambulance in their car, and along the way, they witness scenes of carnage in the streets as the Infection spreads through Cambridge around them. They rush to the aid of Liam and load him into their ambulance, instructing the family to follow in their own vehicle as they rush the child to a hospital in London. A team of paramedics happen to be nearby, attending to a bicyclist with a minor injury. When the family see the infected ape attacking Liam, the father of the family, Roger, beats the animal to death. The youngest son Liam sees a chimpanzee in a tree (one of the infected chimps from the Primate Research Centre), which assaults him and vomits blood in his face. A family of five is picnicking at Cherry Hinton Hall park in Cambridge, bickering over trivial things. The second story begins the day after the break-in at the laboratory. He approaches the door, and upon opening it to investigate, Warren is abruptly ambushed by an infected ape which bites him, infecting him with Rage. Warren at this moment hears a strange noise coming from down the hall and follows it to the closed door to the lab. Warren informs him that the inhibitor has had a reverse effect, and the man enlightens Warren that this could have "other applications" when the telephone suddenly cuts out. Later that night, he makes a call from his home to an animal rights organisation called the Animal Freedom Front, and then shoots himself in the head.īack at the Primate Research Centre, Warren sits at his desk talking on the telephone to a respresentative of the company that hired him and Clive. Frustrated, Warren lashes out at Clive for making a snide comment, and Clive quits on the spot. Two weeks later, the virus has mutated, reversing the inhibitor's effect - the Rage Virus is born. He genetically modifies the Ebola virus to carry the inhibitor, against Clive's strong objections. Warren decides that the only feasible means of delivering the inhibitor widespread is by using a contagion as a delivery system. Despite his misgivings, Clive is now irrevocably tied to the project. He then decides that they should test on chimpanzees as Clive had been suggesting, and Clive and Warren bury the criminal's body at dawn. However, just before the criminal can attack Clive, Warren recovers and bludgeons the criminal to death with a fire extinguisher. He sees the criminal break free and attack Warren, then turn to Clive. That night, Clive is trying to get drunk and drown out his anger when he hears a noise and goes to investigate. Clive recognizes the criminal from the CCTV footage at the London police station, and tries to warn Warren, but the latter simply mocks Clive on his anger issues, causing him to storm off. The next day, back in Cambridge, Warren reveals to Clive that he has secured a violent criminal as a human test subject. They are attempting to develop an inhibitor which can be used to control aggressive impulses in humans. Two scientists named Clive and Warren watch CCTV footage of several violent crimes committed in London the previous night at a police station. The first stage begins a little over two weeks before the Original Outbreak in Britain. The first three stories each follow separate groups or individuals the fourth story brings the survivors of these stories together for their ultimate fate. The Aftermath is divided into four stories ranging in setting from shortly before the outbreak to several weeks afterwards.
