732-ZH

732-ZH is a virus which causes the pandemic and subsequent zombie outbreak in No More Room in Hell. Described as an mysterious pathogen by those who discovered it, it laid dormant for some time before emerging in livestock and eventually infecting humans.

When a player is infected they must take Phalanx pills to delay death and reanimation, but it can be cured with Gene Therapy. Suicide remains an option, however, and it is usually the most effective way of treating infection since Phalanx pills serve are only temporary and Gene Therapy is incredibly rare.

Infected who do not cure themselves or destroy their brain will die and reanimate as a Runner.

Transmission and Symptoms
732-ZH is highly infectious and invariably deadly to those who aren't able to receive proper treatment. Once infected by a zombie, a player has only a 2 minutes to find Phalanx, Gene Therapy, or a gun.

Transmission
732-ZH is also spread via bodily fluids, such as blood or saliva from a zombie. It is also found in contaminated water, indicating that it may be able to survive in water for quite some time.

In game, it is spread via:


 * Bites
 * Scratches
 * Contaminated standing water

In lore, it is most likely transmitted in a manner similar to that of the Flu (more specifically, H1N1), according to classified documents (see docs below). It has been described to be incredibly infectious by health professionals in-universe.
