Infected Orphans

"He made 50 little ticking time bombs?"

- Frank West

The Infected Orphans are the fifty orphans that Carlito Keyes infected that are mentioned in Overtime Mode of Dead Rising.

Summary
After hearing Frank describe himself as a "ticking time bomb," Isabela immediately searches Carlito's laptop. She recalls that some time before their plans at Willamette, Isabel has created a similar zombie suppressant to the one she used on Frank in their own personal lab. After the suppressor was created, Carlito volunteered at a non-profitable organization with the goal of helping place war orphans into homes.

Isabela and Frank soon discover that Carlito infected a group of fifty orphans with the parasite causing zombification. After the orphans were infected with the parasite, they were given Isabela's suppressant so that the zombification process would be slowed. Shortly after, all fifty children on the list were adopted into homes all across the United States.

The fate of these children remains ultimately unknown, but it is likely that the parasite still lies dormant, as no major outbreaks have been reported in the cities where the children were adopted into.

Dead Rising 3 Speculation

 * Shortly after Dead Rising 3 was announced, there was speculation among fans that Nick Ramos may have been one of the infected children. There is nobody on the list of orphans by the same name as Nick Ramos, so this is most likely mere speculation.
