This was an interesting read. I like how you've incorporated just enough RL medicine and genetics into the mechanics so that it isn't completely fantastical, but then embellished it with supernatural and sci-fi elements to serve the needs of the premise and the plot. A really smart bit of writing!
A question, if that's okay? How are they planning to distribute the vaccine? A standard immunisation programme will be difficult to organise under the state that Haixing and Dixing were in by the end of the story, and also not very efficient considering the pandemic state, but I can't really think of an alternative either, so. I know ZYL said something about "catching immunity from sneezing people," but...?
Also, who's going to be mass-producing the vaccine? Dixing, probably, since Haixing doesn't have the resources or the personnel to spare, but will they try to use that as a bargaining chip or grounds to stage a coup in Haixing? (Though General Lang would probably put a stop to that!)
Aaannd...those questions have nothing to do with science. Whoops!
