The Fortune City Disaster was a series of events that took place in Fortune City, Nevada from September 25 to September 28 in 2011.

The incident was the result of an arranged outbreak in the Fortune City resort by pharmaceutical company Phenotrans. The company had intentionally released Queens into the resort, turning everyone into zombies. They did this in order to keep up the production of the highly demanded Zombrex (which required Queens from the zombies' bodies), hailed as a miracle drug due to its capabilities of hindering the zombification process. Due to demand of Zombrex, the profits it brought for Phenotrans were overwhelming.

Phenotrans had already carried out this operation in Las Vegas three years prior and killed thousands, where it was a success. This prompted them to repeat it in Fortune City. They first decided upon suitable candidate to use as a scapegoat, someone who could take the blame for the outbreak. Chuck Greene was selected, due to his previous escape of Las Vegas where he had lost his wife. Chuck was competing in Terror is Reality in Fortune City in order to, somewhat ironically, buy Zombrex for his infected daughter; Katey.

After releasing the zombies into the resort, killing thousands, Chuck and his daughter made it to safety, but he discovered that he was in the frame for causing the outbreak. Without hesitation, and with only three days before the military arrived for cleanup, he set out to find evidence to clear his name, with help from CURE representative Stacey Forsythe and news reporter Rebecca Chang.

Chuck uncovered various secrets about Phenotrans in his mission, and eventually found the evidence he was looking for. However, Phenotrans had secretly installed one of their own employees within the safety shelter, who stole the evidence and left Chuck and his associates to die in the coming firebomb. Chuck managed to kill the employee but didn't recover the evidence. Nonetheless, he was able to withhold the firebomb in order to call for rescue.

Any survivors were evacuated, while Chuck was briefly forced to remain in the city to rescue Stacey and his daughter from the crazed host of Terror is Reality. Chuck did manage to escape Fortune City, though without any proof of his innocence. The equipment Phenotrans had left behind would have been destroyed after the firebomb was rescheduled.

Case West is too continue this story. It's widely rumoured that Phenotrans possess the ability to create a permanent cure for the zombie parasite, but are intentionally avoiding development of one due to the money Zombrex brings them.
