The year is 2050.
Human kind is on the brink of extinction.
In some places, humanity exists as clusters of tribes existing or fighting with one another. Others are devoid of life - nature is filled with a silence not known to Earth for billions of years.
Just ten years before, an affliction dubbed 'the zombie virus' spread through nations, people came back from the dead to feast on the flesh of the living. Initially, the outbreak wasn't as terminal as some had predicted. Humanity had kept the throne as dominant species as the slow, thoughtless creatures were defeated. Although thousands died, humanity was quick to celebrate their victory.
What they didn't expect was the dead to evolve.
The reanimated carcasses shuffled back out of the shadows, somehow faster, stronger, and wiser to common tricks used to deceive them.
After another bloody chapter, the dead where defeated once more.
And with each defeat, the infected came back even faster, even stronger, even smarter. Some began to build weapons, some began to fashion armor, others grouped together into writhing communities. From that point on, the dead where no longer named 'zombies', for zombies where slow, stupid. These things weren't. The infected became known as Corpses, they may be dead, but they are every bit as intelligent as they were beforehand.
Humans that weren't killed by the outbreak or the chaos that ensued became survivors in the few and far-between colonies. Although there aren't many left, the remaining humans are more determined and capable as their ancestors thousands of years beforehand.
After the first Human Victory in 2041, a select few were taken into the Z-Com program to defend against the plague should the dead ever rise again. These individuals were hardened through excruciating training. Z-Com soldiers would repetitively break their bones and tear muscle tissue during combat training, beat eachother into pulps in fighting rings, sleep no more than once a week - hundreds of thousands of potential recruits from special forces went in, one hundred came out word-wide. With there being so little successful recruits, soldiers where scattered world wide individually to compensate. The training was so demanding that some soldiers died during sessions. Z-Com soldiers were deployed individually in major cities world wide to 'keep the peace' and became known as 'Demons' to the public for their brutal methods of arresting troublemakers.
Now, humans and corpses have reached a standoff in conflict. With the humans forced into a corner, even hordes of corpses are unable to take them all on if the colonies were to ever band together. With suspense hanging in-between the two species, it is uncertain whether humans will die out in the siege or the corpses will slip up and get wiped out for good.

R version: Smart zombies have taken over the world, humans and some cool soldiers and defending against them, the world is in ruins, done)
