List the most disgusting viruses in movies and games

In movies, books or games, Zombie has always been the most attractive topic in history. Objects that once carried human souls but now carry an uncontrollable hunger for blood and flesh have become images that have haunted the entertainment world since the very first days. Although they are narrated in many different forms, such as some dragging on bare feet or some running like moths on fire… but they all mutate in a unique way. That’s the Virus.

And hereafter, to understand the nature of the most bloodthirsty creature in this entertainment world, Emergenceingame.Com would like to point out the most notorious Virus strains that movies, books or video games have ever witnessed.

Solanum – World War Z

Max Brooks’ hit novel World War Z has soon spread across movies and games, gradually building a mighty Zombie empire. But few people know that behind the bloodthirsty aliens that almost wiped out humanity and engulfed the mighty armies of many great powers.. is a small Virus named Solanum.

It is impossible to know where Solanum was born, but it seems to have existed since the first days that humans walked on Earth. When successfully approaching the human body, Solanum used cells in the frontal lobe to clone and simultaneously destroy these cells. As soon as the brain is successfully infected, all functions in the body will stop working completely, such as the lungs or heart. At the same time, all human characteristics such as personality, personality or all logical thoughts disappear completely.. giving way to a crazy hunger and thirst before the flesh of living creatures. However, science still cannot explain why the preferred prey of Zombie strains is always humans when they are willing to ignore weaker animals to hunt humans who are clearly armed and fast. than them.

In the world of World War Z, the mystery surrounding the question of why infected people can still function without absorbing energy is a mystery (eating meat is simply due to pure hunger, cannot help the body absorb substances because all functions in the digestive system have stopped working). However, scientists found that each cell in the human body after being infected will act as an independent individual, producing a huge amount of oxygen to help the Zombie brain perform the most basic actions. such as moving or biting. Therefore, they are almost impossible to die and are ready to exist forever until the rotting flesh can no longer function.

Although the origin of the Solanum Virus cannot be found in the wild, World War Z suggests that the disease originated in the Yangtze River region in the basin near the Three Diep Dam, China. In the storybook China is considered the place where the pandemic started, but in the film version this element is changed to India.

T-Virus – Resident Evil

T-Virus is not the name of a single Virus but in fact is a way of calling a collection of different strains of Virus that are modified from the Progenitor Virus which only exists in the flower called “Stairway of the Sun” in Thailand. West African. After the Progenitor Virus was discovered by three scientists, Oswell E. Spencer, Edward Ashford and James Marcus, it was researched as a military project in the hope of strengthening the individuals it infects. . The breakthrough of this research came when James Marcus combined the Progenitor Virus with the DNA of leeches, officially giving birth to the T-Virus that would haunt humanity forever. Unlike its origin, the T-Virus causes the host not only to die but also to develop violent behaviors that are difficult to control. The host often loses its normal logical thinking and develops cannibalism.

Like other viruses, the T-Virus comes into contact with the cell membrane and proceeds to insert their genetic code into that cell. This cell will absorb the Virus’s genome and then hijack the main functions to create Virus particles (Virions) similar to the original. The new Virions are then released from the host cell and infect the surrounding cells. Each strain of T-Virus has a different way of working and spawns different types of Zombies depending on time and conditions. One of the first mutant forms was Lickers – Zombies with completely rotting skin and exposed brains with long tongues used to attack prey.

Virus of unknown name – The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead’s Unidentified Virus is arguably the most popular version we’ve ever seen. Accordingly, no one knows whether it was born in nature or artificially. Only know one thing that it has been and is existing in the body of every human being. It has two main states “hibernate” and “active”. During hibernation, it resides in human nerve cells and does not exert any effect on the body. However, when that body dies, whether by natural means or by external forces, this Virus will suddenly activate and turn that body into a Zombie .. as long as the brain is intact.

Of course, hibernating viruses can also “activate” through the introduction of active pathogens into the body, usually through the bite of a Zombie or through an open wound. In this state, the infected person, if he survived the Zombie attack, still showed symptoms such as high fever, body pain, extreme fatigue ..etc. Until the climax, the entire nervous system Neurological and bodily functions will cease to function completely, officially bringing the victim to death.
​

​

However, after a period of “dead” depending on each case, that body will be taken over by the Virus and “resurrected” into creatures that are prompted by primitive hunger. However, when bitten, the chance to survive is still if promptly cut off the bitten part of the body, usually an arm or leg. Therefore, if bitten on the neck or main body, the victim will be 100% sure of death (continued).
