Around a table there are four very decomposed bodies, almost unrecognizable. In the center of the table is a strange device that opens to reveal two vials filled with an active substance.

The raid

The squad puts the two vials in a protected container and leaves, but finds that the local security forces have raised the alarm and the military police have sent reinforcements.

Under fire and in a desperate situation, he resorts to throwing one of his vials at his attackers before retreating to his armored vehicle. The container shatters on the ground and, almost instantly, a cloying, purple fog spreads rapidly through the streets, suffocating the police forces and quickly transforming both the living and the fallen into bloodthirsty zombies.

Safe in the confines of their vehicle, Zakhaev and his squadmate witness the transformation firsthand, as one of their downed men screams and writhes, his eyes flashing red before attacking the nearest survivor. Far from being afraid, Zakhaev smiles; This weapon is unlike any other he could have conceived.
