Vector or V. class Zombie
.by A fellow survivor.
I would like to note, it is illegal in this and most other countries to create or perpetuate zombies. With that said, There is a widely known misconception, that if you are bitten by a Vector or a V. class zombie, you will become a zombie. This is really only a half truth. first of all, the active pathogen which causes one to turn into a zombie is a virus called Volanum. It is a mutated version of the Solanum Virus with distinctive differences. It is a vector born pathogen like Rabies (passed on threw bites) but it is also a blood born pathogen not unlike the aids virus. whether one becomes a zombie or not is dependent on the bitten hosts blood type. For example, lets say a man whose blood type is AB+, is bitten by a zombie. Because the host is AB+ his blood cells have special proteins and antigen markers. the virus attaches itself to the hosts blood cells and is undetected by the host immune systems. the virus then attacks and kills off the protein and antigens markers. In effect changing the hosts blood type to AB-. The hosts body will react in a negative way. Symptoms result in A fast high fever, decreased respiration, anaphylactic shock soon followed by death. End of story? Well, yes in this case.
Now lets say the same man is bitten by a zombie, only his blood type is AB- this time. Because he is AB- his blood cells lack the proteins and antigen markers, that would otherwise mark him as AB+. Just as before, the virus attaches itself to the hosts blood cells. Only this time, there are no proteins or antigen markers to attack. the virus positions itself in the locations normally maintained by proteins and antigens of an AB+ blood type, which at this time, is undetected by the hosts immune systems. the hosts body absorbs the infected blood which mutates and replicates in the hosts brain and other cell structures over a short period of time. Once the hosts body is sufficiently inundated with the virus. the virus then tricks the host body into believing it is proteins and antigen markers of an AB+ blood type. Since this is not the hosts blood type. The host goes into anaphylactic shock and quickly dies. The hosts brain, at this point has mutated into a new organ that no longer requires oxygen but rather necrotic gases produced by decaying flesh. Upon death the hosts eyes begin to go dull. This activity or lack there of, sends a signal along the optic nerve to the occipital lobe. The Occipital lobe in turn instructs the Medulla Oblongata to seek out fresh flesh for Necrotic gas production and like a light switch, the mutated new brain reboots and the host's body enters a state of sue-do life. The infected host must then seek out fresh flesh so as to continue the necrotic gas production which sustains the host brain.
So in short, if you have a positive blood type. death is permanent. If you have a negative blood type. you get to come back as an V. class zombie.
