Act I

The world before the virus (modern Earth), then the Hong Kong CDC attempts to create a serum intended to strengthen the immune system of the Chinese military and citizens to help them live longer and make them the most powerful country in the world. The U.S. finds out about this plan and they demand China to sell the serum to them. China creates an alternate serum to sell to the U.S. and convinces them that it’s the drug they initially created, but in reality, it’s a serum that shortens life expectancy rather than prolonging it. Once the serum gets distributed in the U.S., people begin to discover that the serum is infecting them, and it becomes an airborne virus that spreads and kills millions of people around the world.
