4
5	It all started as a typical day for the Michaelses, a rural farm family. The most significant thing that happened being a rat that seemed rather hard to kill. Meanwhile, a team of scientists are researching a new virus that seems to have cropped up in animal populations. It seems to not only make animals vicious, but it also seems to make them able to move even after sustaining fatal damage.

7	Yes, this is the [[RaisingTheSteaks Animal]] ZombieApocalypse.

9	Now the farm family and the scientists are all that are keeping humanity from total extinction.

13	----
14	!!''The Final Plague'' contains examples of:
15	* DownOnTheFarm: The Michaels family's farm, which is stated to be located near the town of Leigh, Iowa.
16	* HazmatSuit: The people in the quarantined facility all wear bright blue hazmat suits.
17	* ManiacMonkeys: During the quarantine, the scientists find an undead monkey either beating another scientist's head in, or ripping part of his face off.
18	* RaisingTheSteaks: The ZombieApocalypse came from the animal kingdom, so there's a lot of undead animals here.
19	* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: The Lieutenant holds on to a shotgun while in the facility. Even after being told to put it down.
20	* ShovelStrike: Helen manages to kill a zombie rat by crushing it with a shovel. It's still twitching a little afterward, though.
21	* SwarmOfRats: [[RaisingTheSteaks Of the undead variety.]] A bum in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity is eaten by a swarm of undead rats.
22	* TechnicallyLivingZombie: Any living people unlucky enough to become infected inevitably devolve into animalistic, psychotically violent cannibals, but are still alive and can be put down easily with conventional methods, if the disease doesn’t kill them first. [[ZigzaggedTrope However]], this is only present in human infected, and given that the virus is capable of reanimating animals along with one of the infected staff in the lab outbreak being seen with the telltale clouded eyes of the reanimated dead, it’s quite possible that humans will also go full-zombie upon death as well.
23	* ToBeContinued: One story ends with a guy covered in zombie rats.
24	* YouDirtyRat: Helen gets accosted by an undead rat at one point. And there's plenty more as well.
25	* ZombieApocalypse: This one caused by [[RaisingTheSteaks zombified animals]]. [[spoiler: Eventually, it jumps the species barrier and starts infecting humans.]]
