As Birkin lay dying, the operatives took the virus samples and fled the lab through the vast, secret sewer system beneath Raccoon City, specifically the R.P.D. They discovered Birkin in his lab preparing to escape, and during the subsequent scuffle, an overeager operative shot Birkin. Millitary, Umbrella turned against him and sent a U.S.S.

It was revealed that the "resurrected" Dr. The latest strand of T-Virus leaked and every inhabitant got infected, thus turning them into walking corpses. The investigation revealed no less than twenty people as test subjects.Īn incident happened in the lab at the Spencer Mansion. It would appear that information regarding Marcus' deeds only surfaced during the 1998 investigation into his laboratory, which had been quickly abandoned ten years prior when he was murdered. The result of these trials were the very first zombies. James Marcus began to consider the impact that human testing would have on his research, eventually forcing people into being guinea pigs for his secret bio-weapons projects. History and Known Outbreaks Start of the Zombiesĭuring his trials with the t-Virus, Dr. Zombies die from any attack, be it from a weapon or melee attack and cannot chase after prey. But once a potential victim approaches, they spring up with a grab attack, which can be avoided. They lie on their backs, sometimes moaning or moving slowly. The Zombies encountered in the Spencer Estate and in Africa appear to be much weaker and not as phsyically active as previous infectees. The only way to kill the zombies are by decapitation, complete destruction of the brain or complete incineration of the body. Zombies that have lost the use of their legs (either through deterioration or damage) instead crawl after prey until it can grab the target and bite into the leg. This leads to Zombies sometimes vomiting the acid.Ī Zombie can continue to pursue prey even after losing limbs or the lower half of its body. Not being able to feel pain due to degradation of the nervous system, a Zombie can resist several gunshots from a typical small-caliber handgun before falling down.ĭue to their diet, the body of a Zombie begins to over-produce stomach acids in order to dissolve the meat quicker. In addition, in some cases, the zombies will rush quickly at their prey even if they are under severe degradation. However, there are also some Zombies capable of moving faster due to less advanced degradation. The intro of Raccoon Zoo scenario shows that the zombies will also feast on the flesh of non-humans animals.Ī Zombie's eyes are covered by a white or gray film of mucous either covering the entire eye or just the pupil, as the eye is a sensitive mucous membrane and turns almost entirely into mucous when dead or rotting.Their body also begn to rotting and had some wounds, especially the wounds that they received from another zombies' bite that they received when they still alive.ĭue to the necrosis throughout their bodies and the degradation of the nervous system, Zombies move very slowly and awkwardly, leading to their signature shuffling gait and their easily avoided lunges. These Zombies that play dead can be easily spotted, as their heads usually follow prey's movements. Some Zombies lay dormant on the ground due to their lack of nutrition, but will bite anything that comes to their direction. However, upon noticing live prey, a Zombie will cease cannibalism and turn attention to the live prey. In situations of lack of nutrition due to the unavailability of live prey, Zombies resort to cannibalism, consuming other Zombies or infected corpses that have yet to reanimate. Also, they can make noises such as grunting and moaning instead of actual speech due to the same brain damage as well. This led the zombies reduced into mindless, instinctive undead that consume any uninfected lifeforms that stood on their way similar with zombies that featured in George Romero's Living Dead Series. The Hippocampus suffers from severe necrosis due to infection bt T-Virus, meaning that a zombie's memories and spacial navigation skills have been compromised.
