To give you a feel for the plot i have in mind and my writing skills, allow me to post the current background for the story:

 

2015 - Conflict has finally ended in the middle east and war no longer exists between nations. All countries no longer have major internal affairs. People celebrate the end of war and vow to never let a war between nations happen again. As per agreement, all countries disposed of all their nuclear weapons and abandoned their nuclear weapon producing facilities.

 

The USA And other technologically advanced nations (Japan, India, Korea, Russia, Germany) begin to Invest huge amounts of money into the latest research - biological engineering, or more precisely, biological implants.

 

It was believed that with a little configuring and experimenting, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, also known as the 'zombie fungus', could be used to increase the speed and strength of humans. Many were worried that such research could lead to an actual zombie infection among humans. This was believed possible if someone intendingly mutated the virus to suit humans. To prevent this possibility, All world leaders and researchers had to vow all info and research was to be used to lead to products beneficial to the human race.

 

2016 - After one year, research is well underway. Most nations have several teams of biological scientists completely devoted to the cause. All 3rd world countries are being developed and now have similar equipment and appliances as the rest of the world. Crime is slowly declining and smaller, local business' are thriving.
 

One of the USA's teams of biological researchers, led by Dr. Jay Brudgee, has been discovered to have implemented unsafe procedures and performed several tests unsuitable to attain the research for the product. They are all taken off the task, stripped of their title as doctors. However, Jay and several his friends sneak into their old workplace overnight, avoiding security and using a counterfeit pass.

 

After 2 months of undercover research, one of them accidently trigger an alarm, setting off sirens, alerting all personnel in the entire complex. Jay and his friends dash towards their lab, sliding under emergency blast doors.  They quickly prepared their equipment as the workers attempted to override the doors commands. Finally, they force the door open. They surround the group aiming with small pistols.

 

Worker - Stop right there! You are messing with dangerous equipment! Step away from it, NOW!

 

Jay - Your too late! >:)

 

Jay pressed a makeshift button and in a fraction of a second, the facility and 3km (1km = approx. 0.62miles) of the surrounding suburban area were showered with gas from a biological bomb, killing everyone instantly. After several minutes of silence, the corpses slowly rose, their faces with blank expressions, pale skin and glassy, grey eyes that boggled around their heads with each step and their skin became rough and hardened. They all moaned in a tired, careless way. They slowly spread out in groups of around 20-30 towards the most populated cities nearby...
