Hamburg

"Hamburg was heavily infested. They were in the streets, in the buildings, pouring out of Neuer Elbtunnel. We'd tried to blockade it with civilian vehicles, but they were squirming through any open space like bloated, bloody worms. Refugees were also all over. They'd come from as far away as Saxony, thinking they could escape by sea. The ships were long gone, port was a mess. We had over a thousand trapped at the Reynolds Aluminiumwerk and at least tripped that at the Eurokai terminal. No food, no clean water, just waiting to be rescued with the dead swarming outside, and I don't know how many infected inside. The harbor was choked with corpses, but the corpses were all still moving. We'd blast them into the harbor with antiriot water cannons, it saved ammo and it helped to keep the streets clear. It was a good idea until the pressure in the cannons died" (112)

This time, the narrator is a German native who's on a pilgrimage to Ireland for his Catholic wife. His interview is completely accidental and very insightful. He's just an outsider civilian who's witnessing what the Irish are doing to help protect their people. They tried blasting them, and refugee's are coming from all over the world to be saved only Ireland is no better off than any other country who's infested with zombies. They all have their different ways of dealing with this invasion, and no one has the cure all that will kill the zombies and get rid of them permanently. No one has figured out why it started, or how it spread and people want answers. There are riots and protests against the government because they're not telling them anything either. This portrayal of the future depicts the past as a place where people are moving faster than anyone predicted, and they can't deal with everything that comes their way as a consequence. Maybe if they slowed down, this could have been avoided.
