This is my first attempt at a zombie conversion from Romero's dead series and I will be updating the storie as quickly as I can, enjoy.

Prologue

Charles walked through the automatic door. All the doors in this place had advanced technology that read access privileges from a chip entered into the skin of each researchers body, each chip was specifically designed so that the only the person with the correct genetic sequence can activate it, and then only get access to areas with the correct clearance. Charles was a short bald man with flaky skin, pot belly, IQ of 190 and zero personality, in fact the only two ways that he ever managed to pick up a girlfriend was a on an pre-paid nightly basis or one which was as lonely as him (a rare case).

Charles had been searched out by the MOD for his specialisation in Cell structure and genetic recoding; he was called in for a secret project. As he wandered around the lab shaking a test tube here or there and looking at the various charts showing progressing changes in each of these vials he remembered the day he had gotten a phone call at the small research facility he had worked at, previous to this position. The phone call had come one morning saying they would quadruple his salary if he came in on a project with them. Three short days later he had turned up to a briefing at a military base outlining that they wanted to create soldiers that could heal quickly on the field to the point that they could rapidly grow replacement limbs.

He was now in the process of combininga series ofchemicals to a genetically restructured version of the HIV that activates mutations in the white cells and platlets increasing the supply of these when the host is injured, thus healing them from almost any injury. So far he hadn't managed to perfect it, as any person or animal that he injected with it went crazy after two or three hours attacking anyone coming near them. These creatures' hearts stopped beating but brainwave activity continued, any attempt to harm them almost instantaneously healed, you could only stop them through destroying the brain, and this did not entirely work as if the brain was not substantially damaged they would rise again a short while later. What didn't seem to make sense was that these subjects had no pulse, so how where they healing.

As he was getting to the end of his checks he heard loud explosions from another area of the building, his eyes rapidly moving as fear debilitated him.
