00:04Oh my god, something's wrong at Pinnacle Hospital. There are police and doctors everywhere.
00:09Is there a confirmed case?
00:16Emily, I was just about to reply to you, but the post vanished. I didn't delete it.
00:19I don't know if it's a confirmed case, but there are special police. It's terrifying.
00:22Is your lease almost up? Do you want to renew it?
00:26Emily, graduation season is coming up soon and apartments will be in short supply.
00:30Decide quickly if you want it or new, and I can give you a discount.
00:54The city will be locked down at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
00:56Get out if you can. Stock up on supplies until your place is full.
01:09There's an emergency at home. I need to take leave.
01:11Okay, Emily, go on home. Take a week off.
01:20Dad, drive back to City Q right now. I'm coming home today.
01:23Honey, what's going on?
01:25I'll explain everything as soon as I get out of the car.
01:27Where are you now?
01:38Mom, send me the address of our new place.
01:40Leave work now. I'll be home this afternoon.
02:01Miss, are you sure you want this much stuff?
02:03Positive. Please deliver it as soon as possible. Thank you.
02:11What was wrong with that biter in the video?
02:14A huge metropolis with tens of millions of people, a major transportation hubbit, locking down just like that?
02:20Why run away from the most important economic and cultural center unless it's already out of control?
02:25What is happening to this world?
02:33What's wrong, honey? What happened?
02:35Sweetie, does this have something to do with you coming home suddenly?
02:38I don't know exactly what's going on, but I know it's serious.
02:40The city is locking down at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
02:43Someone warned me to leave right away and stock up on supplies.
02:45I'm so scared. Please believe me, Mom and Dad.
02:47We really need to buy enough to last at least a year.
02:50Don't be afraid. Mom and Dad have your back, always.
02:52Who would we trust if not you?
02:56Stocking up, right?
02:57Don't wait for my cooking today. I'm heading to the wholesale market first.
03:00Send me the list of what you ordered, baby. I'll check what you're missing and fill in the gaps.
03:09Our family will be fine. Stop panicking.
03:12Pack your things properly and head to the airport.
03:14I already placed an order for a batch of supplies.
03:16To avoid drawing attention, I had them delivered to the B1 parking garage around 8 p.m.
03:19When could be upstairs, be careful not to run into anyone.
03:21Okay, don't worry, sweetie. Mom will never let anything happen to you.
03:25Let's go.
03:40Assistant light
03:42Wait, wait, wait.
03:49Oh, my God.
04:32I have to face it.
04:34This is already the last train to the airport.
04:55It's passable now.
05:13Hi, Mom. It's me.
05:15Honey, Mom's busy here.
05:17I just ordered 200 pounds of pork, 100 pounds of beans, 100 pounds of lamb, four whole chicken.
05:21Still need chicken wings and drum hocks.
05:22Is there anything else you want?
05:23Mom, you're incredible.
05:25Listen.
05:26Remember to buy a solar generator, batteries, and a few more refrigerators.
05:30I'll search for the rest.
05:39Attention all passengers bound for City Q.
05:42This flight is about to depart.
05:50Hold on.
05:51If I throw up now, everyone will notice.
06:32Honey, we can't go home yet.
06:34We need to finish buying everything first.
06:36Starting tomorrow, we won't go out at all.
06:44We're out of stock.
06:46Installation can't be done for three days.
06:48What if we pay extra?
06:50I'll head over to your place and install them right now.
07:04Mom, when will you be back?
07:06My girl's calling.
07:07I'll head home now.
07:09I couldn't bargain down the price for these clothes.
07:11I'll check the underground market tomorrow.
07:13Oh, my God.
07:14Fine.
07:15You win.
07:16Take it at this price.
07:17Mom, when will the meat and solar generators you bought be delivered?
07:19The wholesale market will deliver the meat pre-stored in refrigerators.
07:22The fridge shop and meat vendor are run by the same family.
07:24The solar generators have already arrived.
07:26I had them left outside room 1502.
07:28That apartment's unfinished.
07:29No one will notice.
07:30I stash the rest in the 20th floor stairwell.
07:32Hardly anyone climbs that high, and no one lives above the 20th floor.
07:43Mineral water, toilet rolls, self-heating hot pots, lime storage barrels,
07:48rainwater collectors, rubbing alcohol.
07:51Everything's here.
07:52Okay.
07:52Let's go.
08:02Alright.
08:08Let's go.
08:09Let's go.
08:10Let's go.
08:13Let's go.
08:36I'm keeping the four hens on the enclosed balcony off the kitchen.
08:40Soundproof cotton has been installed everywhere, so no clacking can be heard outside.
08:58What was that?
09:27What was that?
09:46Movies are just movies.
09:48I can't judge these creatures downstairs based on fictitional stories.
09:51The person who was brutally attacked this morning has now turned into one of them.
09:55Judging from this, the virus spreads through saliva and blood.
09:58Right now, these zombies seem mindless.
10:00Wandering aimlessly in circles.
10:01After that sick man vomited earlier, they were drawn to the smell and swarmed around Building 10 where he lives.
10:08That means they hunt relying on hearing and smell.
10:11Honey, let's get some sleep.
10:13We were completely worn out last night.
10:18What's happening? It's so dark.
10:21Damn it.
10:22The stench of rotten iron is thick enough to choke on.
10:27I remember these eyes.
10:28I saw them at the airport in City B one day ago.
10:33Sweetie, you're having a nightmare.
10:35Wake up.
10:39You have a fever, baby.
10:41Take this medicine and you'll feel better.
10:53The number of zombies between Building 10 and Building 12 hasn't changed.
10:58Still 11.
10:59It means there are likely no new infected in our community.
11:03Meow!
11:03I have no idea what sustains them.
11:06They seem to need no food or energy besides human flesh.
11:09Stray cats in the yard hold no interest for them.
11:13They fear no daylight.
11:15And will lunge and bite and blindly at any sound.
11:19Proving their hearing is extremely sharp.
11:28Dad, come quick!
11:37Dad, should we help him?
11:44Help might come for us soon.
11:47I think we can give him something.
11:50Just not too much.
11:52That makes sense.
11:55Two packs of compressed biscuits and two chocolate bars.
12:01But how?
12:02The distance between our building and Building 14 is nearly 50 meters.
12:06We can't throw it that far.
12:07There's no way we'd risk our lives to deliver it.
12:36There's no way we'd risk our lives to deliver it.
13:00Oh my god.
13:02It's horrifying.
13:05It's horrifying.
13:17Sweetie, what's wrong?
13:19Mom, Dad, that man downstairs?
13:20He's the one from apartment 1602, Building 14.
13:23The neighbor gave him two packs of instant noodles today.
13:25So the victim was that kind Linju.
13:28They may didn't first down Lamer supplies.
13:30We might have been the ones killed tonight.
13:32In this world, even kindness can get you killed.
13:35All right, honey, go back to your room and rest.
13:39Margaret, you take over the night watch.
13:41I'll reinforce our fire north, our fire door with extra defenses.
13:48Shit!
13:49Shit!
13:50Shit!
13:57Who says being trapped indoors means we're just waiting to die?
14:15Damn you.
14:17Just you wait.
14:18I'll make you pay.
14:30The dying woman's last words played in my mind.
14:33She mouthed one thing to me.
14:35Run.
14:47Hi.
14:52You hear me?
14:53You hear me?
15:05You hear me?
15:20I don't know.
15:54I don't know.
16:17I don't know.
16:31I don't know.
16:35I don't know.
16:38I don't know.
16:42I don't know.
17:01I don't know.
17:15I don't know.
17:17I don't know.
17:45I don't know.
17:50I can't help if you feel like the zombies are watching them.
17:55The supplies they brought back this only enough for one person survive three days.
17:59I reckon they'll have to go out for more.
18:01But I heard the streets are flooded with them.
18:09I don't know.
18:11I don't know.
18:14I don't know.
18:14I don't know.
18:22I don't know.
19:10I don't know.
19:11I don't know.
19:11I don't know.
19:12I don't know.
19:25I don't know.
19:27I don't know.
19:31I don't know.
19:49I don't know.
19:54I don't know.
20:04I don't know.
20:06I don't know.
20:07I don't know.
20:08I don't know.
20:10I don't know.
20:11I don't know.
20:12I don't know.
20:14I don't know.
20:14I don't know.
20:17I don't know.
20:20I don't know.
20:22I don't know.
20:23I don't know.
20:25I don't know.
20:26this cursed world. I never cared for Christmas pudding. I wouldn't take a single bite last
20:32Christmas. This year is different, though. Every ingredient feels incredibly precious.
20:37It has been six months since the zombie outbreak, and we treasure every scrape of food more than
20:43ever before.
21:09I have a bad feeling.
21:12The zombies are evolving again. With explosions this massive, could the military have arrived?
22:20I'm numb. I barely have time to mourn the dead.
22:22Stay safe. I refuse to die like this.
22:31Stay safe, sweetie.
22:33I will, Dad.
22:47Stay safe.
22:49Stay safe.
22:56Stay safe.
23:16Thank goodness, it still works.
23:32It only has a flight time of 23 minutes. We have to turn back after 7 kilometers.
23:48The zombie horde didn't come. My plan failed.
23:52It's alright. We'll figure out another way.
23:54I'd hope the noise from the drone would lure the evolved zombies from the city center into our community.
23:58They would fight the intruders, buying us time to find a way to survive.
24:01But I drew nothing. Every one of my guesses was wrong.
24:03The drone needs 4 hours to fully charge. We can't fly it again until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
24:07By then the intruders will have started searching the buildings. It will be too late.
24:19What I feared has finally come.
24:28Honey! Your nose is bleeding!
24:38Have some chocolate. Sweets are said to boost dopamine and calm you down.
24:47I'll try one last time. This is my final gamble. Our last struggle before everything ends.
24:53I'm sorry.
25:21It seems the three of us are the last surviving people left in City Q.
25:31Just stay here forever.
25:50We're saved.
26:22We're saved.
26:35I still can't believe it.
26:37Are we truly safe now?
26:38The zombie outbreak was a global catastrophe, and our nation was among the worst hit regions.
26:42The government has exhausted every resource on rescue and containment.
26:45Here in Q City, we have eliminated the last remaining undead.
26:48Only three major cities nationwide still await full clearance.
26:51We must accept the heavy consequences this disaster has left behind.
26:55Restoring public trust will not happen overnight.
26:57The explosions you heard in the night were part of Operation PICU, a joint campaign between military and civilian task
27:04forces.
27:05Your drone drew no response from the undead for one simple reason.
27:09There were no zombies left in Q City.
27:11For half a year, this city has been nothing but an empty dead zone.
27:15Temporary safe havens have been established in every provincial capital.
27:18Most survivors have already been relocated there.
27:21Your community lies far from the city center and was newly developed, so rescue notifications were delayed.
27:26Thermal scans from military drones mark this area as completely uninhabitated.
27:30We are so sorry.
27:34None of this is your fault.
27:36Your drone's low-altitude patrols caught our attention long ago.
27:39We spotted the shaky blood-written SOS today.
27:42We hesitated, uncertain if it was a genuine plea or an enemy trap.
27:46Refusing to abandon any chance of saving lives, we tracked the drone back to this complex and waited for the
27:51right moment.
27:52I trust you.
27:53I trust us, our country.
28:00Come in.
28:01Warm up with a cup of hot cocoa.
28:06They never imagined anyone could have survived hidden inside this community.
28:11One vicious-looking man fixed me with a cold, vengeful glare.
28:16He may have been plot-rotting retaliation, but none of it mattered anymore.
28:31I hope it heals soon.
28:34Just like all of humanity.
