The Infected Rise: Episode 1 – Patient Zero | 2025 AI Zombie Apocalypse Begins

The infection didn’t begin with chaos. It began with a promise… then silence.

The Infected Rise: Episode 1 – Patient Zero introduces the terrifying beginning of a post-COVID world ravaged by the side effects of a rushed vaccine. This AI-generated cinematic episode tells the story of how the virus mutated—and how humanity fell.

Set in a hauntingly empty urban landscape, this chapter follows the first signs of collapse: news reports fading into static, hospitals overwhelmed, and the chilling appearance of the infected. Through a lone survivor’s eyes, we witness society’s first irreversible crack.

🎥 Featuring ultra-realistic visuals created with Midjourney and Leonardo AI, stunning voice narration by ElevenLabs, cinematic editing through Runway ML Gen-4, and scene transitions powered by Kling AI, this episode marks the beginning of a new kind of filmmaking.

If you’re a fan of gritty survival horror, pandemic thrillers, and emotional dystopian stories, this is the origin story you can’t miss.
