It's just a few hours before everything falls apart. The city is still humming — traffic, crowds, the usual noise. Nobody knows what's coming.

But you do.

You have one advantage: information. Use it. Check your finances, make your list, reinforce your doors while you still can. When the outbreak hits, your safehouse needs to hold, and your supplies need to last.

The clock is already ticking.
