The mercenaries refused to intervene because they were hired to kill infected, not normal people, and had no loyalty to the rich residents.

The most unrealistic part. They're mercenaries, they're loyal to money

The Great Panic in World War Z was when the public realized there was no cure and the rabies vaccine developed did nothing against the infection. Another chapter mentions a border guard who remembered how "[travelers] gave me a look that said money wasn't going to be good for much longer."

In that moment I doubt their paychecks were on their mind.
