Official description
The Rex Virus is known to have lots of side effects to human who have contacted with it.

It is well-known that body shrinking is one of the side effect that can happened and it is very difficult to detect. Many people have lived for years without noticing that their body has been shrunk due to the virus infection.

A battle was initially started out around the residential area by a group of infected people who are changing their battle ground due to their body size. By hiding in the house, it provides more cover for the troops in battle.
