Instead, the host is rendered unsuitable to the virus as a result of the trauma caused by the amputation. However, given the pathogen's extremely fast-acting nature, it is unlikely that by removing an infected limb (assuming that is where a person was bitten) they cut off the path that allows it to spread throughout the rest of the body. Amputation has been seen as being able to stop the infection as demonstrated by a female IDF soldier. For example, Ellis, a soldier at Camp Humphreys, was ignored in a room full of infected due to his lame leg and was able to escape the room and incinerate the infected. Those who have been seriously injured or stricken with severe illness are ignored by the infected. Having the substance splashed into the mouth does not result in infection.Ĭuriously, the zombies only go after those who are healthy. The ooze is surmised to be loaded with the virus though it has an incredibly short life span and must be directly injected into the victim through a bite. The zombies secrete a black tar-like substance from their mouths. When not attacking they enter a dormant state listlessly standing around awaiting stimulus. The zombies are driven to infect any human they see on sight and are attracted to any loud or man-made noises such as a car engine or a person's voice. After some time, they degrade and appear more like typical zombies with decaying flesh and hair loss, though they are still able to move quite fast. However, their eyes become blurry and black veins appear all over their face and body. Humans who have recently turned do not look too different from while they were alive. During that very short amount of time, the person writhes and convulses violently on the ground, contorting and snapping their body in many directions in an uncomfortable manner before finally standing up. The pathogen responsible for zombification is one of the fastest recorded infections observed with people transforming in as little as 12 seconds. When a human is infected, it is a matter of seconds before they turn. The zombies forming a wall, allowing them to climb over and breach Jerusalem's tall walls While capable of grabbing their victims, they are more dependent on their jaws, snapping away once a target has been sighted. The zombies also behave like viruses themselves, as their only interest is in spreading the infection and seem to have no real interest in consuming their prey once they manage to land a bite on a victim, they quickly lose interest in that victim and cease their attack to immediately chase after another uninfected person. Some zombies can lunge at humans, similar to tigers or lions. For example, they are able to climb atop of one another to form a "pillar" or "wall" of zombies, allowing them to cross high walls, a characteristic taken from ants. The zombies appear to have behavior heavily based on that of animals, hence the opening credits of the film which shows various animal species and their habits. In startling contrast to the novel, the zombies in the film adaptation of World War Z are depicted as the "fast" type of zombies, capable of running towards their would-be victims with ferocity. Damage to the body will do very little to slow them down and damage to the brain is typically the surefire method of killing them. While slow, they are extremely dangerous in large groups and can easily overwhelm survivors or corner them. The zombies from the books adhere to the traditional "slow" zombies. They are slow-moving creatures that seem to possess a mysterious sixth sense and stop at nothing to spread the disease via biting and/or scratching living humans. The zombies in Max Brooks' book " The Zombie Survival Guide" and the follow-up novel " World War Z" are people who have been infected with the Solanum virus.
