The zombie infection was one that caused humans' minds to degrade and to seek out living flesh for consumption. People referred to the infected as zombies. It passed from person to person via bite, quickly spreading throughout all of Las Vegas during the initial outbreak. Animals, in general, were not immune to the infection, though birds were. It's unknown if the infection was caused by a virus, another type of microbe, or something else, but there was a blue substance that could build up when the infection was strongest. This substance burst forth from Zeus' brain when he was shot in the head, and it also covered Zeus' son in the womb. The infection is prominent throughout the Armyverse.
History[]
Not much is known about the origins of the infection that plagued Las Vegas, but it was the result of an experiment with alien origins taking place in Area 51.
Attempting to ship their patient zero elsewhere, he was loaded into a military convoy, which quickly ended up in a car wreck with their package escaping into the nearby Las Vegas. He went on a rampage, and those that fell arose to expand the rampage until the city had to be walled off to prevent the spread. The city remained for six years with the infection contained wihtin the retaining walls until the President of the United States launched a nuclear strike on the city, presumably destroying the infection and all its carriers. Vanderohe still remained outside the city walls with a bite, however.[1]
