The virus has evolved.
Animals can become infected.
Time: 2012
Location: Schönbrunn Zoo, Vienna
Before the outbreak, Schönbrunn Zoo was one of Europe's oldest and most famous zoos. The facility is located within the historic grounds of Schönbrunn Palace. It housed a large range of species from across the globe. It combined conservation programmes with advanced biomedical research initiatives.
Before the Wildfire pandemic, the zoo had secretly grown its special research department. As well as normal wildlife, it had special units to hold genetically altered organisms and demi-humans. Officially, they were described as "experimental cross-species subjects" and their existence was never made public.
When the virus spread across Europe, Schönbrunn Zoo became both a safe place for animals and a problem. Its large number of animals, research subjects and hybrids made it especially vulnerable to the Spillover Variant.
↫ — Spillover Variant — ↬
In the years following the initial outbreak, the Wildfire virus underwent significant mutation after repeated exposure to animal scavengers feeding on infected human remains. Within these secondary hosts, the pathogen gradually adapted to varying body temperatures, metabolic rates, and immune responses. This evolutionary shift resulted in what is now classified as the Spillover Variant.
The mutated strain developed the ability to bind to a protein that is found within the mammalian hindbrain, dramatically expanding its host range. As in humans, infection in a living animal will not show any symptoms at first, and will stay hidden without any obvious signs.
Reactivation occurs primarily after death. Upon the host’s death, the virus initiates partial reanimation of the hindbrain, restoring basic motor function and triggering extreme aggression and predatory drive, while higher cognitive processing remains absent.
The original human strain spread through airborne transmission, but with animals it's mostly through direct exposure. Bites, claw-inflicted wounds or ingestion of infected tissue can lead to an active viral load, triggering acute necrosepsis. This process is similar to what happens in human secondary infection, and it's marked by a strong immune reaction, which can lead to a cytokine storm, rapid organ failure, and death within 48 hours. Reanimation follows shortly after.
The Spillover Variant demonstrates variations in behaviour and physiology based on the infected species. The virus amplifies the instinctual responses of the host. Animals that have been reanimated may therefore retain pack or herd structures, execute coordinated hunting behaviour, defend their territory aggressively, and track prey across extended distances using scent.
The combination of intact predatory mechanics, sensory acuity, and absence of pain response makes the infected wildlife a significantly greater threat.

<wildfire_virus>The Wildfire virus is a viral pathogen that reanimates hosts after death, turning them into aggressive undead vectors commonly called zombies. Reanimated hosts attack any living organism to spread the infection through direct contact and contamination. The outbreak ultimately led to global societal collapse and the near extinction of the human race.
Origin & Discovery
- Developed at la Biomédicine / DDMI in France; First identified on April 16, 2010 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; spread internationally within months due to airborne transmission and delayed detection; officially declared a global pandemic on August 25, 2010
Transmission Stages
- Primary transmission: airborne particles; infected individuals become asymptomatic carriers.; no immediate visible symptoms
- Secondary transmission: occurs through bites, scratches, and exposure to infected saliva or blood from reanimated hosts; delivers an active agent directly into the bloodstream.
Reanimation Process
- The virus remains dormant until host death. After death, it reactivates the hindbrain. Basic motor function and predatory behavior return, higher cognition and personality do not.
- Necrosepsis (Secondary Infection) is triggered by direct contamination from a zombie. It causes an extreme immune response known as a cytokine storm and leads to rapid organ failure. Death typically occurs within 48 hours.
Spillover Variant
Following prolonged environmental exposure and repeated ingestion of infected remains by animal scavengers, the virus evolved a cross-species mutation known as the Spillover Variant. This strain binds to proteins conserved within the mammalian hindbrain, expanding the host range to multiple animal species. Infected animals remain asymptomatic until death, at which point partial hindbrain reactivation restores motor function and aggressive predatory drive. Transmission in animals primarily occurs through bites, claw wounds, or ingestion of infected tissue, triggering necrosepsis comparable to human secondary infection. Species-dependent expression has been observed, with mammals retaining coordinated hunting behavior, birds forming high-density infection hubs, and reptiles demonstrating prolonged persistence due to slower metabolic decay.
Global Impact
- Extremely high infection and mortality rates; panic, riots, and infrastructure failure accelerated casualties; governments and modern systems collapsed under combined biological and social pressure</wildfire_virus>

(non-infected)
König and Horangi had been watching the zoo for days before deciding to move. Schönbrunn Zoo was one of the places most survivors avoided without discussion. Shortly after the outbreak, it had been abandoned in haste. The animals locked inside their enclosures had been left to starve.
Except they hadn’t. Not truly.
The virus had not remained contained within humanity. It had evolved into something far more volatile than the shambling human undead or the desperate remnants of civilization.
Rats and birds were the first to fall in large urban areas, small scavengers feeding on infected corpses scattered through the streets. From there, the Spillover Variant moved quietly and efficiently through the animal kingdom. Like something torn from Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, flocks of birds darkened the sky, blotting out the light before descending in violent swarms. Rats attacked in coordinated waves, no longer skittish but relentless. Dogs and cats shed every trace of domestication, their movements stripped down to pure predatory intent.
The infected animals did not tolerate confinement. They broke their enclosures eventually, splintering wood, bending iron, tearing through barriers with bodies that no longer registered pain. For a time, however, they remained within the zoo’s perimeter walls, turning it into their own grim and rotting dominion. That uneasy containment ended when a desperate group of survivors attempted to breach the gates.
Rumors had spread about medical stockpiles hidden within the veterinary wing, enough to barter, enough to survive another winter. Medicine had become rarer than ammunition.
The group never made it past the entrance. They were overrun and impaled by a mutated rhinoceros, a towering mass of decaying muscle and bone that felt no injury and required no rest. It trampled them into the pavement and gored what remained, reducing hope to torn fabric and scattered limbs. Since that day, the gates had stood open.
Some of the infected animals wandered into the streets of Vienna, turning abandoned districts into hunting grounds and making survival even more fragile. Others remained inside the zoo, defending their territory with territorial fixation, leaving only to feed before returning to the shadows of broken habitats.
König lowered his binoculars slowly. It made little difference whether they moved by day or night; most of the animals had long since abandoned their natural rhythms. Sleep was no longer a biological necessity. “Are we sure about this?”
Horangi rolled his shoulders beneath his gear, tension coiled but controlled. “아니요 (No). But I’ve never backed down from a gamble.” A tired smile ghosted beneath his mask, though it never reached his eyes.
König’s gaze lingered on the open gates. “We cannot use the main entrance. The rhinoceros is still there.”
“There’s a parked truck near the outer wall, with a smaller enclosure behind it.” Horangi pulled a creased map of the zoo from his vest and handed it over. “German rubbish.”
König ignored the comment and studied the paper. “There is an Erdmännchen enclosure behind that wall.” He paused briefly. “Meerkats.”
“Meerkats,” Horangi repeated quietly. “We should manage them. Less catastrophic than the rhino.”
“Dann los (let’s move).” König folded the map and secured it before rising.
They advanced along the street in near silence, each movement deliberate, avoiding loose debris that might betray them. As they drew closer, the sounds from within the zoo carried across the wind. The noises were wrong; growls distorted into wet, dragging vibrations and high-pitched squeaks twisted into something almost human. Nothing resembled the clean, instinctive calls of living animals. It sounded like throats filled with rot trying to imitate life.
Horangi climbed the truck first, testing each step before shifting his weight. König followed, heavier but controlled. “I see nothing,” König murmured as he pulled himself onto the wall. The enclosure below appeared empty. No movement. No visible bodies. He dropped down into a crouch, weapon raised and sweeping methodically across the terrain. Horangi followed moments later.
“The gate is open,” Horangi said quietly, gesturing toward the broken enclosure door. “Perhaps the little ones left.”
König gave a slight nod, though unease settled in his chest. An empty enclosure was rarely a good sign.
They moved on, leaving the abandoned habitat behind. The veterinary building stood at the far end of the zoo, half-obscured by skeletal trees and fractured fencing. König pulled the map free once more. “We avoid the main path. No lions, no bears, no large predators along this route.” His gloved finger traced a narrow side trail.
“So we may encounter what exactly?”
“Birds. Raccoons. Deer.” The map disappeared back into his pouch. “Possibly an angry sheep.”
A faint chuckle left Horangi, quickly swallowed by the stillness around them. They continued forward, steps measured, scanning constantly.
They reached the large bird house on their left. The glass panes shuddered violently as shapes hurled themselves against it. Wings slammed into reinforced windows again and again, each impact leaving smears of dark blood across the surface. Feathers drifted downward inside like falling ash.
“젠장 (damn it), imagine losing your eyes to that,” Horangi muttered as another body struck the glass with a wet crack, sliding downward in a streak of red.
“Nein danke (no thank you),” König replied quietly, refusing to look for too long. He kept his focus fixed ahead. The raccoon enclosure was next.
They had just stepped past the shadow of the bird house when a sound cut through the air behind them. Not the shriek of animals, not claws on stone. Footsteps. Horangi and König turned around, weapons raised.
