Pan-Dead-Mic

In a top-secret lab, scientists created a regenerative virus. A mishap fused it with a deadly unknown strain. Accidentally released, it infected people nearby. Flu-like symptoms escalated into a horrifying transformation: zombies. The government's containment failed, and chaos consumed the world. The virus mutated, defying all treatment. Most perished, leaving few survivors in a world ruled by the undead. The source remained unknown, but the virus irreversibly altered humanity's fate.
