Short filmTranscript
00:00Today is the day our village celebrates.
00:02The collective relocation.
00:03My luck is insane.
00:04I win a fully loaded luxury RV.
00:06But the village chief's niece, Amy, only draws an abandoned mine out back.
00:10She starts wailing.
00:11I'm asked to swap.
00:12And since I'm an orphan, no one stands up for me.
00:14I swap with her.
00:15A week later, acid rain falls.
00:17Along with it comes a huge wave of zombies.
00:19Amy drives the RV everywhere.
00:21The acid rain eats through it.
00:22It breaks down.
00:23Zombies swarm her and tear her apart.
00:25Inside the mine, I stumble upon a shelter.
00:27The old mining crew left behind.
00:29It's solid, durable, and resistant.
00:31It's also packed with supplies.
00:33With them, I survive acid rain and zombies.
00:35My days are almost peaceful.
00:36But later, out of jealousy, Amy reveals.
00:39My shelter's secret to the villagers.
00:40Before she dies, I soften and let them in.
00:43They rob me of everything.
00:44Then drive me out.
00:45I die in the zombie horde too.
00:47I open my eyes.
00:48I'm back on the day of the lottery.
00:49I turn and meet Amy's vicious and jealous stare.
00:52I know right away she's reborn too.
00:54She still draws the abandoned mine.
00:56But she's happy.
00:57The villagers whisper the disappointment.
00:59Has messed with her mind.
01:00Only I know she's thinking about stealing my shelter.
01:03To survive the apocalypse.
01:04I'm asked to hand over the RV.
01:06Feeling bad for Amy.
01:07The chief yells at me.
01:08The village bully, Bob, who likes Amy, threatens to make me pay.
01:12If she loses her mind.
01:13His lucky Tom echoes him.
01:15I'll break my legs at Bob's demand.
01:17More and more villagers point fingers at me.
01:20It's exactly like last time.
01:21But Amy suddenly cuts everyone off.
01:23And says firmly that she wants the mine.
01:25When her gaze lands on me.
01:26It's filled with smug pride.
01:28Mary Morse, who loves gossip, asks why.
01:30Amy can't mention being reborn.
01:31So she plays pitiful.
01:33Saying she has played there.
01:34Besides, as the village chief's relative.
01:36She's obligated to protect this place.
01:37Their village's birthplace.
01:39Hearing that.
01:40The villagers praise her.
01:41Her performance makes me sick.
01:43I don't expose her.
01:44Calmly, I slip the RV keys into my bag.
01:46As we pass each other.
01:47She lets out a sneer.
01:48And whispers that in her last life.
01:50I stole her perfect life.
01:51This time, I'll be torn apart by zombies.
01:53Just like her last time.
01:54While she survives the apocalypse.
01:56I pretend not to understand.
01:57Inside I laugh.
01:58That shelter looks like a lifesaver.
02:00In truth, it's a ticking ball.
02:01These villagers are extremely greedy.
02:04Once they find out.
02:05Hela's waiting for her.
02:06I hurry into the RV.
02:07Shut the door.
02:08And call Caleb Britt.
02:09The richest man.
02:10To gather enough money.
02:11Before the apocalypse.
02:12I plan to sell every asset I own.
02:14I offer him a price 20% below market value.
02:16But it must be done within three days.
02:18Caleb agrees right away.
02:19After that.
02:20I spend the night.
02:21Maxing out every online loan app.
02:23I can find and got 3 million dollars.
02:25But it's not enough.
02:26In my last life.
02:27Gold prices skyrocketed.
02:28That starts tomorrow.
02:29So I use every last dollar to buy gold.
02:32Hoping that this time I get rich overnight.
02:34Relying on my memories.
02:35I trade gold.
02:36Overnight.
02:37My wealth multiplies tenfold.
02:39Staring at over 100 million dollars in my account.
02:41I sit in the RV.
02:42Thinking about.
02:43How to survive the apocalypse in comfort.
02:44If I build a super shelter.
02:46I'll become a sitting target.
02:48Hire retired soldiers as bodyguards.
02:49But in a world gone mad.
02:51Betrayal is almost certain.
02:52As I'm lost in thought.
02:53I notice a small button.
02:55Under the steering wheel.
02:56Curious I press it.
02:57The wheel glows faintly.
02:59On impulse.
03:00I lay my hand over it.
03:02And the RV glows with white light.
03:04The light fades.
03:04And a tiny fairy appears before me.
03:06It says if I make a pact with it.
03:08I can unlock the RV's hidden system.
03:10And every mission I complete for it.
03:12Will earn me random rewards.
03:13This could be my ultimate survival tool.
03:15I'm stunned for a moment.
03:17Then snap back and decide.
03:18To work with it.
03:19Compared to humans.
03:20This mysterious fairy.
03:21Freya.
03:22Makes me feel far safer.
03:23When the pact is signed.
03:24My first mission.
03:25The RV upgrade plan begins.
03:27I contact.
03:28The world's top auto modification company.
03:30I tell them I'm a woman driving into war zones.
03:32I need tank level armor for safety.
03:34I'd pay more the usual price.
03:36To have my RV rebuilt.
03:37Into a three story structure.
03:38And demand it be finished in two days.
03:40Knowing mutated zombies hit hard.
03:42I hire a retired special forces soldier.
03:44To install weapons on the RV.
03:46Shovels on the first floor clear obstacles.
03:49The second has powerful remote turrets.
03:51The third is equipped with automated gun turrets.
03:53To fend off the paths.
03:54Outside.
03:55I install 20 hidden cameras.
03:57So I can monitor every angle from inside.
03:59All windows are bulletproof.
04:01Even the tires are upgraded.
04:03To tank raid tracks.
04:04Able to roll over any terrain.
04:06Finally.
04:06The doors.
04:07Become double layer blast doors.
04:09With separate passwords and fingerprints.
04:11Freya even gives me.
04:12Special anti-corrosion paint.
04:14That can resist acid rain.
04:15I coat the exterior.
04:17Including the tires with this paint.
04:19Mary from the village sees my setup.
04:21And snidely says.
04:22I'm showing off now that I'm rich.
04:23I ignore Hirand even toss a box.
04:25Of cash in front of her.
04:27The crew sees the money.
04:28And works even harder and faster.
04:30Mary's eyes turn red with jealousy.
04:32After the upgrade.
04:34I buy the world's most advanced.
04:36Water filtration system to get water.
04:37Finally.
04:38My first reward arrives.
04:40Since I completed the RV upgrade.
04:42The system rewards me a pocket dimension farm.
04:44I step inside immediately.
04:45And find myself.
04:46Standing on about 10 acres of land.
04:48In the center.
04:49Is a fully tilled field.
04:50To the left.
04:51Is a small fish pond.
04:52And to the right.
04:53Is a cozy farmhouse.
04:54Freya explains that.
04:55Everything on this farm.
04:56Grows 10 times faster than outside.
04:58And might even have special effects.
05:00And if I complete certain missions.
05:02This farm system can upgrade endlessly.
05:04I can expand the land.
05:05And unlock new areas.
05:07Since I completed my first mission.
05:09It gives me an extra reward.
05:10With a whistle.
05:11A massive warehouse appears before me.
05:13The space is big enough.
05:14To store all the supplies I'll ever need.
05:16I leave the pocket dimension.
05:18And drive into town to stock up.
05:20Clearing out two large supermarkets.
05:22Barrels of mineral water.
05:23Boxes of compressed biscuits.
05:25Cup noodles.
05:25Canned food.
05:26And that.
05:26Pile up into a small mountain.
05:27I also grab female essentials.
05:29And fuel for the RV.
05:31I feel completely safe.
05:32Then I buy seeds for all kinds.
05:34Of vegetables and fruits from a seed shop.
05:36I also find a farmer in the next village.
05:38And buy hundreds of fish fry.
05:39Hundreds of eggs.
05:40Dozens of chickens.
05:41And a few small pigs.
05:42Cows and sheep.
05:43With the farm system.
05:44And my farming experience.
05:45I know I can be self-sufficient in the RV.
05:48Through the black market.
05:49I buy guns.
05:50Ammo bulletproof vests.
05:52And drones for scouting and transport.
05:54On the last day before the apocalypse.
05:56I look at my full warehouse.
05:57And feel extremely safe.
05:59I have what it takes to survive.
06:01I start checking the monitor.
06:02Everything around the RV is normal.
06:04The village is calm and peaceful as always.
06:06Just as I'm about to turn off the monitor.
06:08I notice Bob and Tom.
06:09Staring at my RV from not far away.
06:12Scheming something.
06:13Even from 30 feet away.
06:14I can feel their greed and malice.
06:16My nerves tighten.
06:17The villagers hostility.
06:19Has arrived before the apocalypse.
06:20I prepare to drive away.
06:22But something unexpected happens.
06:24Before the apocalypse.
06:25My RV is already surrounded by villagers.
06:27Just as I'm about to drive away.
06:29From Bob and his gang.
06:30Mary suddenly falls in front of my RV.
06:32Pretending I ran her over.
06:34She lies there.
06:35Screaming for compensation.
06:36Lately she saw me spending big.
06:38And assumed I've become rich.
06:40So she tries to scam me for a quick gain.
06:42Amy sees this.
06:43And immediately fans the flames.
06:45She calls out to the nearby villagers.
06:47Claiming I hurt Mary on purpose.
06:48And plan to drive off without paying.
06:50The villagers rush over.
06:51Demanding.
06:52I step out to explain.
06:53Amy.
06:54Feeling powerful.
06:55Orders me to get down.
06:56And apologize to Mary.
06:58Or she'll have the villagers smash my RV.
07:00Hearing that.
07:01Bob and Tom grab shoveled those.
07:03And other tools.
07:04Ready to attack my RVs.
07:05I don't want to fight them.
07:07Besides.
07:08Cash will be worthless after today.
07:09So I roll down the window.
07:10And fling a handful of cash out.
07:12Mary.
07:13Who is lying on the ground screaming.
07:15Jumps up to grab the bills.
07:16The other villagers.
07:17Fueled by greed.
07:18Starts crambling for the money too.
07:20Bob and Tom try to reach for it.
07:21But freeze at a glare from Amy.
07:23She commands them to attack my RV.
07:25Determined to make me pay.
07:26Bob doesn't pull back.
07:27He swings his shovel at my door.
07:29A loud bang echoes.
07:30And the shovel flies out of his hands.
07:32His fingers numb from the shock.
07:34And the RV door doesn't even scratch.
07:36Beside Bob.
07:37Tom gets slammed by the back latch.
07:38And lands hard on his bottom.
07:40Just as I think they'll give up.
07:41And this farce is over.
07:43Amy suddenly speaks again.
07:45Pulling me back into a desperate situation.
07:47Last time.
07:48Amy died because of her greed.
07:49This time around.
07:50She swears.
07:51To eliminate anyone who knows the secret.
07:53Of her shelter.
07:53To track me.
07:55She planted a trojan on my phone long ago.
07:57Through which she discovered my gold trading fortune.
08:00She incites people to surround me.
08:01Revealing that.
08:02I've made at least 100 million dollars.
08:04From trading gold.
08:05She demands I pay 5 million dollars.
08:06The villagers.
08:07Who has been scrambling for cash.
08:09Breeze at the astronomical figure.
08:11Then redirect their anger toward me.
08:13They play good cop.
08:14Bad cop with me.
08:15A few of the older villagers.
08:16Even have jealousy bloodshot in their eyes.
08:18They call me selfish saying.
08:20I only care about money.
08:21I think about paying them off.
08:22But realize the money I gave Mary.
08:24Was all I have left.
08:25The villagers don't believe me.
08:27They grab their tools.
08:28And beat on my RV.
08:29Mary's husband.
08:30Evan Solis.
08:31Drives his tractor straight at it.
08:32Smashing it repeatedly.
08:33I have weapons yes.
08:35But I can't bring myself to shoot them.
08:36For a moment.
08:37I don't know what to do.
08:38When Amy sees that I'm stuck.
08:40Her eyes gleam with triumph.
08:42Her plan works perfectly.
08:43She turns to leave.
08:44Heading back to her shelter.
08:46To face the coming acid rain.
08:47When the villagers see me sitting there.
08:49They get even angrier.
08:50An old man even climbs onto my RV.
08:53Lying across the windshield.
08:54Just as the standoff drags on.
08:56The sky darkens suddenly.
08:57A green hue spreads across the clouds.
09:00And heavy rain pours down.
09:01The villagers all look up.
09:03To observe the sudden change.
09:04But soon.
09:05They realize something's wrong.
09:06This isn't ordinary rain.
09:07It's highly corrosive acid rain.
09:09They scatter and panic.
09:10I also realize that.
09:12The apocalypse has arrived early.
09:13The acid rain falls.
09:15It's extremely corrosive.
09:16It can even melt steel.
09:17Anyone caught in it will have.
09:18Their skin rot instantly.
09:20And if the decay goes too far.
09:22They can turn into zombies.
09:23At first.
09:24No one realized how deadly it is.
09:25After a while.
09:26More and more villagers start screaming in pain.
09:29Their skin develops burn-like sores.
09:31They run in chaos.
09:32Only Evan refuses to give up.
09:34He keeps ramming my RV.
09:35With his tractor.
09:36Shouting that if I don't pay him.
09:38I can't leave the village today.
09:39But.
09:40He doesn't notice the tractor roof.
09:41Has been eaten through by the acid rain.
09:43Without the roof.
09:44The rain hits him directly.
09:46His clothes start to dissolve.
09:47Smoking in white flumes.
09:49Soon.
09:49His clothes are tattered.
09:51His body shows more and more sores.
09:53Evan jumps off the tractor.
09:54And rides on the ground in pain.
09:56Screaming.
09:57But soon he goes completely still.
09:58I see this inside the RV.
10:00But I'm powerless.
10:01I let out a quiet sigh.
10:02I use my monitor to check the surrounding.
10:05The villagers have all scattered.
10:06The fields that were full of light.
10:08Are now withered.
10:09The leaves are yellowed.
10:10And also shredded.
10:11I know the food crisis is coming fast.
10:14I need to start planning.
10:15Just as I prepare to drive off.
10:17Evan.
10:17Who had been lying motionless.
10:19Suddenly rises in a strange way.
10:21His body is warped.
10:22His eyes fix on my RV.
10:23Then.
10:24He leaps and lands at my window.
10:26He tears at the glass with his teeth.
10:27And smashes his head against him.
10:29The first zombie.
10:30Appears right before my eyes.
10:32My rebirth has altered the timeline.
10:34Making the acid rain more dangerous.
10:36Its corrosion is stronger.
10:37And the mutation speed has increased.
10:39Freya adds that.
10:40The longer zombies are exposed to the rain.
10:42The stronger they will be.
10:44They can even evolve or mutate a second shot.
10:46If I want to avoid serious trouble.
10:48I must quickly eliminate the zombie.
10:50Hearing this.
10:50I immediately steal my resolve.
10:52I activate the second floor turret.
10:54Aim at the zombie at the window.
10:56And press the fire button.
10:57After a burst of shots.
10:58The zombie at my window falls.
11:00Freya's body glows warm yellow again.
11:02It congratulates me on defeating the zombie.
11:04The seed shop is unlocked.
11:05It urges me to check.
11:07My pocket dimension farm.
11:08I step into the farm.
11:09I notice somehow.
11:10A small, unattended shop has appeared.
11:12As I approach.
11:13The system panel pops up.
11:14Three options appear.
11:15Offensive crops.
11:16Support crops.
11:17Enhancement crops.
11:18Freya explains that.
11:19These crops can upgrade my crops.
11:21Giving them special effects.
11:22I can choose the type I want.
11:24Which specific crop will be upgraded as random.
11:26To survive.
11:27Combat power is the key to victory.
11:29I decisively choose offensive crops.
11:31As my choice is confirmed.
11:33A new panel appears before me.
11:35Freya tells me that.
11:36My RV's third floor.
11:37Has become a special crop farm.
11:38I just need to operate the panel to start planting.
11:41My chili seeds have evolved into blaster chilies.
11:43Following the instructions.
11:45I swipe the screen.
11:46And instantly fill it with chilies.
11:48At the same time.
11:49My RV changes again.
11:50A flash of golden light appears.
11:52And a patch of soil forms on the roof.
11:54Each plot glows faint red.
11:56After that.
11:57I divide the farm into three zones.
11:59Vegetables.
12:00Fruits.
12:00And corn.
12:01In the vegetable zone I plant.
12:02Fast growing crops like.
12:03Lettuce.
12:04Cabbage.
12:05Tomatoes.
12:05And radishes.
12:06For fruits.
12:06I pick oranges, peaches.
12:08And apples.
12:09Which don't require trellises.
12:10The corn zone feeds my chickens.
12:12Ducks.
12:12Cows.
12:13And fish fry.
12:14It's essential feed.
12:15After all that.
12:16I pull out my phone to check the time.
12:18But a message from the government.
12:19Fills me with a sense of danger.
12:21Only a week into the apocalypse.
12:23And society has already collapsed.
12:24The rain is so corrosive that.
12:26It eats through the ceiling.
12:27Of the largest water plant in Zintree.
12:29As it seeps directly into the tap water.
12:31People drink it unknowingly.
12:32And mutate into zombies.
12:33The government issues a warning.
12:35Stay indoors.
12:36Avoid bathing.
12:37And only drink bottled water.
12:38The cities are in chaos.
12:40Rural areas like ours drinking spring.
12:42And well water.
12:42Escape the worst of it.
12:44Still.
12:44I don't want to stay here.
12:45When I was delivering supplies.
12:47Many villagers saw me.
12:48So I decide to drive away.
12:50Find a secluded spa.
12:51Grow stronger.
12:52And tend my pocket dimension farm.
12:54After driving the RV for three days.
12:55Fatigue weighs heavily on my mind.
12:57I plan to check the farm.
12:59And rest for a full day.
13:00But I find the chicks and calves.
13:01I raised before have grown a lot.
13:03Even the eggs have all hatched.
13:05Growth in the pocket dimension farm is astonishing.
13:07The meat supply problem that used to bother me.
13:09Is resolved effortlessly.
13:11So I decide to make chicken soup as a treat.
13:13I go to the RV's second floor.
13:15It's transformed into a kitchen and lounge area.
13:17I sip the soup.
13:18The rich flavor spreads across my tongue.
13:20The chicken is tender and fresh.
13:22As acid rain falls outside.
13:24I drink warm chicken soup inside my RV.
13:26This is a scene I could never have.
13:27Imagine last time.
13:28Just as I prepare to tidy up and rest to regain energy.
13:31I suddenly notice a massive crowd of zombies has gathered outside the RV.
13:35My planned escape routes are completely blocked.
13:37But in this life, I have this ultimate fortress that gives me enough power to fight.
13:42Those damn zombies?
13:43I'll take them all on.
13:44In my last life, I could only run blindly.
13:47But this time around, my combat skills have skyrocketed.
13:49Faced with the swarm, I'm no longer helpless.
13:52I immediately decide to strike back.
13:54I activate the third floor automated gun turrets, targeting zombies on both sides.
13:58In an instant, over a dozen zombies lose all ability to fight.
14:02Then, I use the second floor turret to blast every zombie by the windows.
14:05The dense horde from before is now cleared, leaving a path.
14:09I think the crisis is over.
14:10And I'm ready to drive.
14:12When I see another wave of zombies approaching from afar, I don't want to linger in a fight.
14:16Or my turrets might overheat.
14:18I slam on the accelerator, trying to break through.
14:20But the zombies move too fast.
14:22They've blocked my way.
14:23The RV crawls forward slowly.
14:25More zombies climb onto the windows, blocking my view completely.
14:29Just as despair sets in.
14:30Freya tells me that.
14:31My special crops are ready and urges me to check them out.
14:34I switch to the interface.
14:35The blaster chilies are fully grown.
14:37I can harvest them all.
14:38I confirm instantly and choose to load them into the turrets.
14:41Once ready, I fire again.
14:43Chilies shoot from the barrels.
14:45The moment they hit a zombie, they explode violently.
14:48The blast is a mess, wiping out the nearby zombies in an instant.
14:51I seize the chance to push through the horde.
14:53I use the shovel to carve a path for myself.
14:55Just as I rejoice, thinking I've finally escaped.
14:58And can hit the road.
14:59The creature that truly threatens my life appears.
15:02With the blaster chilies.
15:03I defeated the zombie hood.
15:05But before I can celebrate.
15:06A new crisis erupts.
15:08Suddenly, I feel a tremor in the ground.
15:10The shaking grows stronger.
15:11Through the monitor I see.
15:12A giant zombie, as tall as my RV.
15:14Charging straight at me.
15:16Terror floods through me.
15:17I slam on the accelerator.
15:18Trying to outrun it.
15:20But to my despair.
15:21The distance between us keeps shrinking.
15:23Freya rushes out and tells me.
15:24This zombie has mutated twice.
15:26The giant red-eyed zombie is strong.
15:28And incredibly fast.
15:29Risking an overload.
15:30I force the turrets online.
15:32But every bullet I fire bounces right off.
15:34It doesn't leave a single mark.
15:36I steer the RV onto the mountain low.
15:38Hoping the twisting path will help me lose it.
15:40At the same time, I ask Freya for a solution.
15:42But it lowers its head and stays silent.
15:44Just then, the giant zombie suddenly leaps.
15:47And lands right behind the RV.
15:48Its fist slams into the vehicle.
15:50The impact is so violent I almost lose control of the RV.
15:53So I load blaster chilies again.
15:55And fire at the giant zombie.
15:56After the explosions, the smoke slowly clears.
15:59I realize the giant zombie has vanished.
16:01I think I've finally killed it.
16:03But suddenly, a massive boulder.
16:04Drops from the sky behind me.
16:06Blocking the road ahead.
16:07Behind.
16:08The giant zombie slowly approaches.
16:10Then, an even more horrifying sight.
16:12Appears before me.
16:13On top of.
16:13The boulder stands another giant zombie.
16:15Two mountain-sized mutant zombies.
16:17Lunge at me.
16:18Claws out.
16:18My death countdown begins.
