Zombie

Biodata

Background / History

Biohazard Apocalypse Survival

The outbreak is initially linked to TB100, a black-market enhancement potion that promises to double bodily functions but transforms many users into zombies. Dawn City becomes the first city to fall. Later, Wang Yu learns that the organization Tianzhou and cooperating elites deliberately engineered the apocalypse to pursue human evolution and harvest its benefits 303 419.

The zombies continue evolving after the outbreak. Early encounters involve largely instinctive attackers, while later enemies demonstrate speech, specialized abilities, coordinated command, and an understanding of players’ ability to return after death 294 315 350 363.

Plants vs. Zombies

Zombies attack players’ Big Trees through waves delivered by Fog Winds and through tombstones that produce additional enemies. Wang Yu eventually discovers tombstones operating beneath black mist even during daylight 538 588 800.

These zombies are not exclusively mindless game enemies. A speaking Giant Zombie identifies itself as a member of a zombie clan, and Wang Yu encounters zombies working in a mining area 744.

Types and Power Levels

Biohazard Zombies

Plants vs. Zombies Enemies

Abilities & Skills

Physical Strength and Persistence

• Ordinary biohazard zombies overpower normal humans through enhanced physical capabilities 296.
• Some remain mobile after being cut in half, crawling despite catastrophic injuries 296.
• Numerical superiority allows ordinary hordes to exhaust far stronger opponents; an early Silver Player dies after being surrounded 294 358.

Intelligence and Horde Command

• Low-level biohazard zombies largely act on instinct and rush toward loud noises, allowing Wang Yu to gather them for mass attacks 296 350.
• Intelligent zombies retreat from superior opponents, coordinate assaults, and recognize threats to their leaders 337 361 364.
• The bone zombie devises a plan to turn returning players into zombies rather than repeatedly kill them 363.
• In Plants vs. Zombies, hordes build a passage across a lake from their own bodies. Destroying attackers supplies more corpses, while gaps blasted into the road are rapidly refilled 791 792.

Infection and Transformation

• Infection is a major danger even when a fighter greatly outclasses ordinary zombies. Wang Yu investigates protective barriers and gold-transformed claws to reduce exposure 310.
• Transformation does not always erase the original consciousness: Ye Feifan retains self-awareness after receiving a special TB100 injection 450.
• The Plants vs. Zombies Zombie King can transform summoned Nether Cat avatars through contact 815.

Black Mist

• In Plants vs. Zombies, black mist strengthens zombies and obstructs the visibility needed by several ranged plants 763 801.
• Tombstones within the mist produce new zombies; destroying these tombstones reduces incoming enemies 800 806.
• Ordinary mist can be dispersed with Clover, but the Zombie King’s mist resists that countermeasure 800 819.

Countermeasures

Resources and Contracts

• Zombie crystals — Extracted from some biohazard zombies and used for mutation and strengthening. At the point described in Lü Hongting’s memories, fewer than one in a thousand zombies possess one 419 425.
• Zombie Contract Scroll — Costs 50 crystals and converts a subdued or willing zombie into the player’s extraordinary item. Growth potential depends on the contracted zombie 390.
• Cross-world infection risk — The scroll’s warning explicitly states that contracted zombies may spread infection to other worlds 390.
• First-kill reward — Wang Yu’s first zombie kill in Plants vs. Zombies awards a Corn Catcher 539.
• Giant Zombie loot — Documented kills yield three Watermelon Pitcher cards each 781.
