External Military

Shortly after the zombie outbreak, external military forces created a quarantine zone around Malton. Their first actions were to ensure that nothing could cross the border of this zone in any direction. The military also shut down all power and infrastructure systems in Malton and began jamming local short-wave radio frequencies.

The military have never entered the city themselves, nor taken any direct action to deal with the zombie infestation; however, they have on occasion aided survivors by dropping supply crates from helicopters. They are also known to use helicopters to observe the quarantined city and to cooperate with NecroTech. Military class survivors are presumably not affiliated with the force maintaining the quarantine.

It is unknown what country or organization the military belong to; it is possible that they could be an assortment of militaries mobilised by NATO, the UN or another sort of group with the same aims, whatever they be.

Supply Crates

main article: Supply Crates

Supply crates contain supplies airdropped by military helicopters to help support survivors. Notice of a nearby drop can come by hearing a thunder of helicopters passing overhead. Crates have been dropped on 'special days', such as holidays and the game's birthday, as a gift for players. They hold a random amount of useful items and ammo, equal to several days worth of searching.
