Zombie Antidote

The Zombie Antidote was a re-engineered version of the zombie plague created by George Gutter. It was used to cure Alyssa.

History
George Gutter accidentally created the zombie plague as a means to cure diseases and keep people alive for thousands of years. Once the Apocalypse began in July of 2013, Gutter created a bottle of a liquid medication that could cure the affliction that he had created. Gutter hid the antidote away in his apartment and sent a plea out on the internet for someone to come and claim it. Jack, Ryan and John raced The Guy With The Car and the Arthur Beansman Community to Gutter's New York Apartment to claim the antidote, and after John defeated The Guy With the Car the antidote was recovered by Jack, who vowed to mass produce it.

However, this task proved to be impossible. At some point over the next six years, John was separated from Jack and Ryan with the zombie antidote. John was mortally wounded in the morning of May 23, 2019, and used his fading strength to pass on the antidote to Annika. Overwhelmed by the prospect of guarding the cure that could save the world, she locked away the antidote. Like the previous guardians of the antidote, she believed that someone would come to mass produce the antidote, and refused to take it herself even after being bitten by Alyssa, a zombie. A hallucination of Alyssa's human side convinced Annika to take the antidote herself, but at the last second she sacrificed herself to save her new friend and gave the antidote to Alyssa. The cured Alyssa went out into the world with the knowledge that honey could serve as an alternative food source for the zombies. This created the possibility of a peace between humans and zombies meaning that the efforts of Jack, Ryan, John, and Annika to guard the antidote were not in vain.
