At a top-secret chemical research facility called "Hope Center #1", a major accident occurs, causing a gas leak that turns all the employees, as well as people living in the area, into zombies. Elsewhere, a special forces detachment consisting of four commandos rescues the American consulate in Barcelona, Spain from a siege by eco-terrorists. The commandos are then sent to the infected area of Papua ​​New Guinea, where the accident occurred earlier, where they encounter a reporter investigating reports of mysterious attacks on the local population. Soon, the commandos and their allies are beset by flesh-hungry zombies.

= Submachine Guns =
== Labora Fontbernat M1938 (Modified as Thompson-Style Submachine Guns) ==
M1A1 Thompson submachine guns is used by members of the police and members of the eco-terrorist group during the US consulate crisis. These are actually modified Labora Fontbernat M1938, adapted for firing some kind of blanks, with moving bolts and visible gun smoke (which, alas, comes not from the barrel, but from somewhere in the receiver). These guns are also used by the commandos during their new mission in Papua New Guinea. They are depicted both with or without an M1928 rear sight but never with a M1A1's. One model with a vertical foregrip seems to be the trademark weapon of Zantoro, but due to a continuity error, this weapon is carried by other members of the team.
