Stills taken from the body camera of a Spetsnaz GRU soldier, deployed as part of a joint-expedition between HRE, UFC and ROK Special Forces to investigate a series of large subterranean bunker complexes situated along the Kangnam Mountains. Though relations between the three nations have historically grown terse, reports that the DPRK evacuated its citizens to underground bunker complexes following the Great Panic were sufficient to promote cooperation between the three nations (with corresponding support from NATO) who would conduct several exploratory missions in efforts to confirm their whereabouts.

As with similar NATO-led incursions to the southeast, no conclusive evidence was found that any of the complexes still harboured survivors - the inherent danger of exploring the uncharted tunnels in closed quarters, poor visibility and other environmental hazards from the unstable architecture and flooding precluded a more thorough investigation. Testing of water samples taken from several sites revealed the presence of human remains and Solanum.

Concerns remain that a not-insignificant percentage of North Korea's near-25 million evacuated citizens were infected and remain trapped underground. More alarmingly, investigations have confirmed that most of the bunker complexes, exacerbated by poor construction, lack of maintenance, overgrowth, exposure to the elements and flooding, are likely to collapse or breach within a decade or so, potentially loosing millions of Zekes across the region.

The fanfic looks great, how sad that they aren´t more of WWZ

Still from declassified mission footage showing Alpha Team 41 containing an outbreak in NYC in July of 2013.

Initially there were just a handful of Alpha units but as the sickness spread the numbers needed rapidly proliferated. By the start of the Great Panic training periods had been reduced to just days, and still the existing units were working without rotation. Casualty rates increased exponentially in the final months before Yonkers.

The outbreak above was one of four rapid deployments of Alpha Team 41 in the same night. By the end of the week they’d been on eighteen operations and suffered a casualty rate of almost 60%. The next week NYC was lost and Alpha Team 41 disappeared.

Soldiers with a service dog patrol along the wire fence at the 3rd "Kamenyuki" frontier post in the Bialowieza Forest on the Belarus border with Poland. Patrolling dogs were used by some belarusian soldiers when the first cases came to the Polish/Belarusian border, but the goverment denied the virus until it was too late (similar as with the Covid IOTL...)
