Post Apocalypse

The Resurrection Cult is a religious cult created by Priest Jacob after the zombie apocalypse began. Jacob believed that the Zombies were the holy "resurrected" who were in some way closer to god. He would ring the bell of his church to attract Z's and capture them for his services.

Jacob and his Cult begin their approach on Province Town planning to kill and zombify the population of it. Shortly after the three cultists who returned back to Province Town begin to commit suicide, Patrick stand up on the cafeteria table and tells the people that Jacob will save them and that they will join the Resurrection Church, right after giving the speech he slits his throat with a hidden knife in the cross and he reanimates, quickly Zombified Patrick begins to devour people and reanimate them. At the gate Mary and Luke appear also killing themselves Mary slashes her abdomen open, Cutty sees this and tries to help her however she reanimates and bites Cutty killing her and turning her. Jameson helps find Luke something in his ammo bag when he sees Cutty get killed he asks Luke to help him but he’s already slit his throat and reanimates. Jameson pulls Cutty away but it’s too late and the two zombies devour Jameson, leaving the gate defenseless. While Garnett and Warren are having sex they hear someone banging on the door of their room, they tell it to go away but it doesn’t so they check to see what it is and it’s a zombie. It pushes Garnett down to the bed and Warren beats it with a lamp. The lamp shatters and Garnett grabs it by the head and bashes it into the wall killing it.

Chaos erupts all over Province Town with zombies attacking countless numbers of people and reanimating them. The Cafeteria is overrun with many zombies chasing about civilians and the Group. Addy finds Zombified Patrick who had killed himself and put him down with an egg beater she found in the kitchen. Garnett and Warren Cautiously leave their room holding books as a weapon. They kill a zombie that charges at him and they run into Joe Williams who explains that Jacob attacked the community by using the suicide sheep to start a zombie attack. The suicidal cultists also tampered with all the doors so they wouldn’t shut right. Major Williams is in shock and tells them that all of the weapons are at the gate and there are no other ones inside the community. Suddenly Mack, Doc, Addy, and Cassandra find Garnett and Warren. Warren asks where Murphy and 10k are but they have no idea. Major Williams tells them to get to the emergency exit that leads to outside the compound. Major Williams stays back to try and save some of the people in the community. Murphy encounters one of the townspeople named Madeline, she promises to help him if they work together. However, a large group of zombies enter the room they were hiding in and Murphy abandons her leaving her to be devoured by them.

The Group run to the emergency exit as well as surviving townspeople of Province Town, however the door has been blocked by a cross placed by the Cult, with many zombies pursuing them. People begin to be eaten and bitten by the zombies will the group freaks out. Thankfully 10kremoves the cross and opens the door for the group to get out, but no other people survive to make it out. The group tries to figure a way out of there but suddenly Brother Eli appears and orders the group to come with them, Cassandra and 10kare able to run away while being shot at.

Jacob tells them that they can either join his church or become one of the Resurrected, Garnett sees the Zombified version of Major Joe Williams and is saddened by the loss of him.

Garnett protests to Jacob that this was a peaceful place before he attacked it, and Jacob says it’s his turn to join the Resurrected. He pulls out a knife hidden in his cross and prepares to kill him, Warren yells for him not to and they hit her with a gun, she tells him that she’s going to kill “you psychotic bastard”, which he says you won’t be far behind your Charlie. Brother Jacob puts a knife to Garnetts throat and Garnett begs him to not hurt the others. Suddenly everyone hears a “STOP” from the zombie cage and Murphy walks out, the zombies do not attack him. Murphy tells him that zombies are not closer to heaven, Jacob says that you’re a human and not resurrected. Murphy tells them how 8 times he was bitten and how he didn’t turn. Murphy claims that Jacob is a false prophet and tries to get the other Cultists to betray him. Jacob orders his men to kill him and Jacob asks the “Blasphemer” to prove it. He grabs the dead Major Joe Williams and puts his fingers in his mouth, when the zombie does not bite him it proves that he in fact is immune. However Jacob is still in denial, Jacob gets a gun and says that a blast to the heart will prove that he is truly “dead”. Warren screams “NO” and pushes Jacob, Jacob prepares to shoot Murphy but Garnett jumps in front of him taking the bullet. He falls to the ground, 10k snipes Jacob in the shoulder and kills Brother Eli. Warren runs over to Garnett and she says he’ll be ok but he says he loves her and wants her to go and live. He dies and Warren is pulled away by the group as she begs to give him mercy. Cassandra brings the truck over and they quickly drive away. Garnett reanimates, and later Warrenorders them to stop the car. She takes 10k’s sniper and gives Garnett mercy, she then shoots Jacob in the heart killing him. Shortly after he reanimates and begins to attack his cult members.

Jacob also spent time recruiting "living" members of his coalition to do his bidding, most notably, from Major Joe's camp, Province Town. Members of his church wore upside down crosses and he even convinced three of his members to kill themselves for the sake of his mission.

After Roberta Warren kills Jacob in Resurrection Z, it is unknown if any members of the cult are alive.
