Spanish authorities during the clearing operation of Madrid, a month after the implementation of their version of Redeker. While a large part of the Iberian peninsula was declared as safe zone, isolated infested areas existed within their boundaries, having been sealed off by the military to stop the spread of the pandemic.

A striking example of how old technology was put use during the war: The reproduced French frigate Hermione fires on a Zak swarm in Bordeaux.

Fires engulfed parts of Bangkok, Thailand during the Great Panic. A significant number of casualties in WWZ are not caused by the infecteds, but by major hysteria that happened after the human population becomes aware of the presence of the infecteds.

One of the last known African Spurred Tortoise, this specie (and by the way 90 per cent of tortoises) went extinct during the War, probably one of the "most brutal and violent" exctinction since Cretaceous Mass Extinction, 65 MA ago.

The Earth's ecosystem is badly damaged. The atmosphere was contaminated from the pollutants and ash released by a historically unprecedented amount of fires during the war - from the neglect of nuclear and chemical factories and warehouses, to the burning cities and refugee camps. It was estimated that the amount of particulates in the atmosphere would be comparable to the aftermath of a nuclear exchange by the United States and Russia, this without the exchange between Iran and Pakistan factored in. Parts of Earth were drastically cooled over the course of the war, with the most likely cause being the ash in the air and other pollutants, blocking out the heat of the sun.

Afghan National Army soldiers hold MPi-KMS 72 rifles. Afghanistan fell into a violent anarchy as NATO troops retreat from the country during the WWZ, small factions and militia, sometimes referred to Islamic organizations or a "National Government" controlled parts of Afghan Territory, not so impacted by Zeks. (IMFBD/Zero Dark Thirty).

A small group of infecteds spotted during an outbreak at Johor Bahru, Malaysia, a few weeks before the fall of Kuala Lumpur. Due to its relative proximity to China through air travel, Malaysia was one of the first countries to become infected by Solanum.
 
galang-refugee-camp.jpeg


The Galang Refugee Camp site, Indonesia, revisited after the end of WWZ. Galang is a small island in the Riau Archipelago, a group of Indonesian islands located between Sumatra and Singapore. From 1979-1996, Galang, along with the islands of Natuna, Tarempa, and Anambas collectively hosted hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees fleeing the conflict in Indochina. Following their closure, the refugee camps were then turned into a museum and local tourist attraction.

During the Great Panic, the island of Galang was secured by the Indonesian military with the help of the local government. Its refugee camps were hastily restored to acommodate tens of thousands of refugees from the surrounding islands, and later, also thousands of refugees from nearby Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia. The Barelang Bridge, the only land access that connected Galang with the other islands was severed, to prevent the infecteds from Batam to attack the refugee camps. By the time of Saratoga Conference, Galang already hosted one of the largest refugee camps in the western part of Indonesia.

Partially to relieve the pressure in Galang and Bintan, another nearby safe zone, a combined force of the Indonesian and Singaporean military, who fled to the Riau Islands after the fall of their homeland, went on offensive to clear the infested islands in the region. Their success at Rempang, Bulan, and other islands was what then inspired the Indonesian government in the Moluccas to start an ambitious campaign to retake the entire Indonesian archipelago from the infecteds, some years after the event on Saratoga.

Soldiers of the People's Vietnamese Army Ground Force take aim at chained zombies with Cold War-era AK-47s. As Vietnam struggled to maintain order from increasing zombie attacks, various weapons left in storage from the Vietnam War were handed out to soldiers and civilian volunteers.

Post-war, the tourist attraction of the Cu Chi Channels offers tourists the chance to fire Vietnam War-era weapons at chained zombies. The move itself is considered controversial by activists that claim zombies need to be disposed of humanely rather than being turned into some sort of sport or entertainment.
