As the press conference concludes, VP Bentley with members of his administration exit the building when a hordes of zombies begin attacking and infecting civilians around the area, forcing the VP to retreat back into the building.
Following the attack, the SEALs are called in and informed on the situation going on where it is revealed that a distress call was sent out before losing communication. The SEAL team led by Lieutenant Pete Cunningham enter into the city via HALO. While searching the State Capitol Building, the SEALs eventually find Bentley, along with other survivors including Amanda and Dave.
