Grammar
in the panic surrounding
Hello, Let me introduce the following sentence.
/
[In the panic surrounding] a worldwide pandemic which kills 15 percent of the population and cripples many more, a secret organization, the Propater, topples the UN and seizes control of much of the world. A boy and a girl, raised in an abandoned virology research center, immune to the virus, are attacked by the Propater and escape.
/
I'm not sure of the structure of it (in the panic surrounding~)
A dictionary says surrounding (adj) is used only before a noun.
This is why I think that the structure is as follows : in the panic (that is) surrounding a worldwide pandemic~. Am I wrong?
