What Caused the Outbreak In Dead Rising?

Question

What happened?

Answer 1

Scientest were developing a drug to try and speed up breeding of catle, the lab was based in CARLITO and ISABELLA's hometown Santa Cabenza. The wasps somehow developed in way that it turned people into ZOMBIES. The wasps escaped from the lab into Santa Cabenza(sp?)

Turning all the civilians into zombies, (except CARLITO and ISABELLA and a few other survivers.)

CARLITO and ISABELLA went for revenge on the "Americans" Blaming them all for the incident. So CARLITO infected 50 children war-orphans but injected them with a serum (drug) that allowed them to slow down the process of ZOMBISM, The same process was repeated all over the United States, Making them into "Walking Zombie Time Bombs" (revealed in Overtime Mode)

Then CARLITO (somehow) Infected the town of Wilamette (maybe with Queen Wasps?)

He then put TIME-BOMBS in the underground parking tunnels underneath the mall, planning to blow it up and let the infection spread.

DR. RUSSEL BARNABY, was the man behind the experiment, although he had nothing to do with the breakout, He holds vital info.

ISABELLA is CARLITO's little sister and in partnership with CARLITO and his plan, So the "Girl Hunting" case is one of "THE" most important in the game. If you sucsessfully beat her before the case runs out of time, she joins you and helps to foil CARLITO's plans.

If you manage to get all of CARLITO's TIME-BOMBS from the tunnels in Case 7-2, you automaticly loose the chance of getting Ending F.

AFTER this, ISABELLA agrees to show you CARLITO's Secret Hideout in the North Plaza. Once you find the hideout (by following Isabella) SHE begins to de-activate some device (dont ask what)

Just then you get a call from JESSIE telling you to come back to the SECURITY ROOM,

Once you arrive in the SECURITY ROOM, You see an image of CARLITO being dragged into a basement by LARRY the Butcher.

CARLITO dies in the basment of the butcher's shop telling FRANK to give ISABELLA his locket.

Once ISABELLA gets the locket she realizes that the password must be a phrase used by their parents, "pachamama" (mother earth)

The password is correct and ISABELLA manages to login and found out CARLITO was the one who infected the town.

And thats it all in order i think

Answer 2

their were american scientists in carlitos villages, who were trying to work out a way to breed cows Asexually, they accidently made a virus to turn people into zombies. The zombies destroyed carlitos village and thats why hes so pissed.

most of the game is a japenese attack (kind of) on the wests way of life, i.e it was the wests greed that made the zombies
