Description
Often found in the center of high density populations to give plenty of food for human to zombie conversion, there are numerous Zombie Hives located across the world. The hives contain various underground caverns or chambers, with an above-ground entrance or portal. Once inside, the caverns become lighter and smellier as their distance to the Queen diminishes. Many of the walls are covered in orange slime, which may be potentially hazardous to human visitors. There are countless hibernating zombies in the walls of the hive, enclosed in pods.

Reno, Nevada
The Reno Hive, overseen by an especially formidable Zombie Queen, appears to be the main hive for the northwestern United States. Sledge and her gang (the Raiders) would often visit the city to capture a soldier zombie for potential recruits to battle, although they did not venture into the hive itself, nor did they know of its existence. After several members of your colony are hypnotized and kidnapped by a Siren, You and your group venture into Reno to rescue them, but discover that all except for May have been killed and eaten. May is alive but severely shaken, but before you can rescue her, the Zombie Queen reveals herself. She is the creator of the zombies and is responsible for producing the various types, and introduces your sister as a newly transformed Queen too.
