Scenario:That’s an incredibly large-scale scenario—essentially a global zombie apocalypse based on Dawn of the Dead (2004). Given the vast number of countries involved, I’ll structure the hypothetical timeline into key phases, illustrating how different regions would react, collapse, or attempt to contain the outbreak. --- Global Zombie Outbreak Timeline Based on Dawn of the Dead (2004) Phase 1: Initial Outbreak & First Response (Days 1-7) United States (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) → Global Spread Begins The outbreak starts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, mirroring the film. Chaos erupts in urban centers as local law enforcement is overwhelmed. The U.S. military deploys emergency containment measures, but major cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington D.C.) see rapid infection rates. Air travel spreads the infection internationally before borders close. East Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, North Korea, Mongolia) China locks down major cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou) with extreme military force. Japan attempts containment, but densely populated Tokyo suffers. The Self-Defense Forces mobilize. South Korea enacts martial law, but Seoul is quickly compromised. North Korea closes borders and orders mass executions of the infected. The government disappears into underground bunkers. Southeast Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, etc.) Chaos in megacities like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Manila. Governments collapse within days. Rural areas become survivalist enclaves. Europe (France, Germany, U.K., Russia, etc.) The Schengen Zone collapses as borders shut down. France declares a national emergency, but Paris succumbs to infection. Germany and the U.K. attempt last-ditch quarantines, but London and Berlin fall. Russia enforces brutal containment, with Siberia and the Arctic acting as last human strongholds. South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, etc.) India struggles to control the outbreak in its 1.4 billion population. The infection spreads through dense cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata within days. Phase 2: Worldwide Collapse (Weeks 2-4) Global Military Actions The U.S. military retreats to secret bunkers. NATO and the U.N. collapse due to infections among world leaders. Remaining world leaders disappear or go underground. Africa (Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, etc.) Larger cities fall, but remote villages and deserts remain untouched for now. South Africa enforces shoot-to-kill laws, but Johannesburg is lost. Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, etc.) Favelas in Brazil become war zones between the infected and militias. The Amazon rainforest serves as a temporary natural barrier. Mexico City and Buenos Aires are overrun. Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands) Australia and New Zealand use naval blockades to slow the spread. Some island nations remain safe longer but risk supply shortages. Phase 3: Near Extinction (Months 2-6) Global Power Shift Human survivors are in isolated areas: Siberia, the Himalayas, small island nations, and Antarctica. Cities worldwide are completely abandoned or overrun. The last governments collapse. The internet and global communications shut down. Survivalist Groups Emerge Remaining militaries act as independent factions. Small survivor colonies form in mountains, forests, and remote areas. Phase 4: The Last Humans (Years 1-10) Zombie Populations Peak, Then Decline Without new hosts, zombies decay over time. Wildlife begins reclaiming cities. Small Human Enclaves Siberian bunkers, Pacific islands, underground cities in Switzerland, and deep Amazonian tribes remain. New societies attempt to rebuild in isolated areas. --- Would you like me to expand on any particular region or phase in more detail?That’s an enormous level of detail to cover. To make it more structured, I'll break it down into regions, listing major cities in each country and detailing how the zombie outbreak unfolds in each. This will include infection cases, chaos, military responses, and civil unrest reports. Given the scale, I’ll start with East Asia and Southeast Asia, then continue with other regions. Let me know if you want a different approach! --- Global Zombie Outbreak Timeline (Expanded) Phase 1: Initial Outbreak & First Response (Days 1-7) The outbreak starts in Milwaukee, USA, but international air travel spreads the virus to major cities worldwide before containment efforts take place. Countries with high urban density experience rapid collapse, while remote or mountainous areas hold out longer. --- EAST ASIA (China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan) China (Population: 1.4 billion) Major Affected Cities: Beijing – The government enforces an immediate military lockdown, but infection cases reach 500,000+ within days. Shanghai – Mass panic erupts as 25+ million residents try to flee. Ports and airports shut down, leading to riots. Guangzhou & Shenzhen – Chaos as people attempt to cross into Hong Kong, overwhelming defenses. Hong Kong – The outbreak devastates the city, leading to mass evacuations by sea. Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Xi’an – The military imposes shoot-to-kill orders to slow the spread, but cases surpass 1 million in each city within two weeks. Tibet & Xinjiang – Initial resistance due to geographic isolation, but refugee movements eventually bring infection. Government & Military Response: The PLA (People’s Liberation Army) deploys forces to all major cities but is overwhelmed. Mass executions of infected citizens. High-ranking government officials retreat to nuclear bunkers in Western China. --- South Korea (Population: 52 million) Major Affected Cities: Seoul – 10+ million residents are trapped as infection spreads through subways and apartments.

Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju – Cities fall within a week, with civil unrest and military crackdowns. Government & Military Response: The government orders mass evacuations to Jeju Island. The DMZ becomes a battlefield as South Korean soldiers prevent infected refugees from the North. --- North Korea (Population: 26 million) Major Affected Cities: Pyongyang – The government orders the capital sealed off. Military purges anyone suspected of infection. Kaesong, Nampo, Hamhung – Mass executions and strict quarantine keep the infection limited at first.
