Short filmTranscript
00:00At the annual party, I won the grand prize, a luxury RV, while my Nipo co-worker drew 100 tons
00:06of coal. She burst into tears on stage, and I was forced to trade prizes with her. Then,
00:11the glacial apocalypse hit, and zombies swept the world. She fled in the RV, but fuel was scarce,
00:16and the RV died mid-journey. She was torn apart by zombies. I, on the other hand,
00:21stayed warm and traded for supplies using the coals. But soon after, disaster slipped.
00:25I was swarmed by zombies and torn apart. When I opened my eyes, I was back at the party.
00:33I turned and saw Raine, my Nipo co-worker, glaring at me, with raw jealousy and open hatred.
00:39She'd been reborn too. This time she still drew the coals, but she looked thrilled.
00:43People thought she snapped from disappointment. Only I knew that she realized. RVs were useless
00:48in the apocalypse, and coal was king as last life. The 100 tons of coals I was forced to trade
00:53for
00:54gave me a life of comfort and bleakness. Driven mad by envy, Raine sold me out to thugs for my
00:59supplies. They forced my door open, took my home and supplies, and tossed me out.
01:04Raine sneered that if she had chosen the coals, she'd be on top now. She said I stole her fortune.
01:09Now reborn, she only wanted coal. Our co-workers urged me to comfort her. Her fling, the department
01:15head, even demanded that I trade my RV for her coals, to spare her from emotional harm or I was
01:20a
01:20villain. It all played out like before. However this time, Raine pushed her fling away, and said
01:25pitifully that she wanted the coals. As she spoke, she shot me a smug glance, gloating at her advantage.
01:31The new intern was baffled, and she asked Raine why she'd choose coals over a luxury RV. Of course,
01:37Raine couldn't reveal her rebirth. She simply whimpered that she didn't deserve an RV, for a bumpkin like
01:42her. 100 tons of coal could heat her family's winters for life. At that our co-workers praised her
01:48devotion to her family. But I thought her bullshit was ridiculous. While coals were valuable in the
01:52apocalypse, it was also trouble. Once exposed, it made you a target. But, no need to warn Raine.
01:59I quietly put the RV key into my bag. Seeing that, Raine snorted. As she passed me, she whispered in
02:05my
02:05ears that my good days would become hers. The zombies would kill me like they did to her, while she
02:10would
02:10enjoy a warm apartment through the apocalypse. I played dumb on the surface, but actually it's not.
02:15To live above others, you need the strength to keep it. I could already picture Raine panicking in front
02:21of the looters and zombies. I took the RV key and headed straight to my vehicle. Once inside,
02:26I called the realtor, who had contacted me last life. Someone wanted my house. I'd refused before,
02:31but with the glacial apocalypse come, all fixed homes became open targets, and crowds spread
02:36disaster. Time was short. I needed cash fast. When the realtor Bucky heard me ask plainly,
02:42if we could close the sales within 3 days, he was stunned. I'd refused days ago, yet now.
02:47I changed my mind. I told him I wanted speed, and would take 10% below market. Bucky agreed
02:53at once. I told him he only had 3 days. After hanging up, I moved on to step 2. I
02:58downloaded
02:59every loan app, and borrowed over 3 million overnight. Also with past life memories, I wrote down the
03:04winning number, so the 50 million jackpot. Once the money came in, I upgraded my RV. I contacted
03:10the top security firm, said I wanted to road trip, but feared stalkers as a woman, and would pay 10
03:16times. The rate for my RV to be refitted in 2 days. I replaced the exterior with bulk-grade
03:21plating. Not even machine gun fire could scratch it. All windows were swapped for bulletproof glass,
03:26then covered with high-voltage steel mesh. Zombies would be charred the moment they touched it.
03:30The tires were upgraded to military-grade runflats, with heavy show chains. The doors became triple
03:36blast doors, each with its own code and biolock. The workers were confused by my demands. Some even
03:41suspected I was on the run. But when I threw out wads of cash, they stopped asking. The money urged
03:46them to work tirelessly. Even the ones slacking up jumped in and joined the overhaul. After the
03:51refit, I installed the most advanced self-circulating water filter and a generator in the RV to secure
03:57water and power. I also hired retired special forces to mount high-output solar panels and battery
04:03banks on the roof. Also, I installed 12 cameras outside to monitor everything with zero blind
04:08spots. But I faced a new problem. The RV was too small for my massive supply haul, especially fuel.
04:15Once it ran dry, the RV would turn into an icebox. I bit my finger trying to think and broke
04:20the skin
04:21without noticing. Suddenly, a chime rang inside my head. Congratulations on unlocking the RV system.
04:27Because I upgraded my RV, the system rewarded me with infinite storage. An infinite storage space
04:33appeared at the back of the RV. I immediately grabbed my phone and ordered like crazy barrels
04:38of water, boxes of compressed biscuits, instant meals, canned food, medicine, antibiotics, bandages,
04:45all piled up high. I also ordered essential feminine products. The amount could let me live out my life
04:50in the RV. I even drove to every gas station and bought out all the fuel at twice the price.
04:55With that, the gas problem was solved. Lastly, I spent all my savings to contact an overseas
05:00mercenary group and bought a large stock of firearms and bulletproof vests, making sure I can fight
05:06zombies and looters in the days ahead. On the last day before the apocalypse, I looked at the storage
05:11space, packed with supplies and felt safer than ever, knowing I now had the means to survive.
05:16I checked the monitors. The surroundings seemed normal. The streets were still busy, quiet and peaceful.
05:21When I was about to turn off, I saw a man dressed in black in the distance, staring hard at
05:26my RV.
05:27Even from far away, I felt the malice and greed in his ass. I tensed up at once. The apocalypse
05:32hadn't arrived, but the darkness in people had. I drove off at once, heading for the outskirts,
05:38unaware the real danger was closing. It was 7am. I woke in my RV shivering from the cold. I checked
05:44the thermometer, and the temperature inside had dropped to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. The extreme cold
05:49had arrived. I turned on the heater, and warm air rushed out. Outside the window, the city was buried
05:55in snow. I checked the cameras, but the blizzard left only a white blur. I know the snow wouldn't
06:00stop soon. Temperature dropping. A person outside would freeze to death in minutes. Just then, my phone
06:06started vibrating, sending red alerts nonstop. An emergency broadcast ordered everyone to stay indoors.
06:12Weather service issued its highest alert. Some regions had fallen to minus 255 degrees Fahrenheit.
06:18For times colder than Antarctica. Something even more shocking. Zombies had been sighted.
06:23People were told not to open their doors. But none of it concerned me. I was in the suburbs.
06:28No zombies. Not even people. I turned on the TV, grabbed a bag of chips, and watched the news.
06:34The city was in chaos. The cold snap barely began. Yet many had frozen. At home after the power went
06:40out.
06:40I suddenly remembered. I was struggling at home same time last life. Barely surviving with burning coal.
06:45But now, I sat in my upgraded RV, enjoying warm air at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Watching my favorite
06:52show. I even took time to sort my supplies by shelf life. Just then, my two-faced co-worker began
06:59texting me nonstop. When I didn't reply, she called me on video. Outside was a frozen wasteland. Inside,
07:05zombie mutations could erupt any moment. But right then Reine was sitting in a mansion,
07:10wearing a camisole with full makeup. Video calling me. She asked me if I was cold.
07:14I hugged myself, pretending to shiver. Delighted, she turned the camera to her plate, and bragged
07:20about her comfortable life. I put my phone aside, entered the storage space, and picked out today's
07:25breakfast. Reine had no idea that the city would lose power in days. By then, people would lose
07:31reason. Crime would gyro, and her precious coal, would become everyone's target. Seeing I was
07:36unresponsive, Reine grew annoyed, and hung up. Meanwhile, I discovered that my storage space,
07:42could also keep food fresh. The produce, and meat I stored before the apocalypse,
07:47were still good as new. Excited, I cooked a steak. A few minutes later, I set it, on the table,
07:52and
07:52began eating. As I ate, I recalled how Reine, betrayed me last night. I stopped the steak. This
07:58time, no trader would walk free. After breakfast, I did my routine safety check. I locked every window,
08:04checked the generator, and reviewed the cameras. It was still white outside, except for a few people
08:09frozen to death. I moved the cameras to check the blind spots, and suddenly found a red mark.
08:15Painted on the RV, I sat down fast, and zoomed in. Circled in red was the words,
08:20has goods. Was it the workers who modified the RV, or that man from a few days ago? But for
08:25sure,
08:26my RV, my home, my fortress in the apocalypse, had been marked. On the first day itself, I faced a
08:33deadly choice. If I left the RV, to wipe off the mark, I could walk into an ambush. But if
08:38I didn't,
08:39I might become everyone's target. After weighing it, I chose to wait. No, one unnecessary move,
08:45could get me killed. If my hunch was right, I was marked back when, I bought supplies. I had
08:51mountains of them, and also weak. The perfect prey in the apocalypse. All I did, was sleep and watch
08:56cameras. Five days later, a car appeared. The man got out, and approached my RV. He walked to the door,
09:02and started wrapping it. He said, he was the delivery guy from a few days ago. So I slept
09:07freely. He offered overpriced goods. I remain unmoved in the RV. His clumsy lie, proved he
09:13wasn't smart. When I didn't respond, he grew violent. He pounded the door, then picked the lock.
09:18He even threatened to call the nearby gang, saying I'd lose my supplies in my life if I didn't open
09:23the door. Outside, he ran the door. Inside, I leisurely ate. My warm ravioli, his terrible acting,
09:29made me laugh. Not even a power drill could scratch my reinforced blast door. His pounding
09:35drew nearby zombies. Blinded by anger, he never noticed them. They lunged from behind, and bit
09:41thee. Within minutes, he was dead, and the zombies left. After feeding, an hour later, after making
09:47sure it was safe, I opened the door to check, and uncovered something shocking on his phone.
09:52The man targeted my supplies, and attacked me in the extreme cold. My RV's defenses saved me,
09:57but his phone revealed that he was in a gang. My location had been exposed. Earlier, he told his
10:03crew about my RV, and even took photos for a full assault. But as the cold worsened, he feared the
10:09supplies would be limited, so he came ahead of his group. I quickly wiped off the mark, then chucked
10:14his phone far away. Once inside, I started pondering. My location was exposed. Staying here, meant facing
10:20the gang. I had to leave now, so I started the RV and drove deeper into the outskirts. But soon
10:26after,
10:26the RV stopped. The snow was too deep, and it sank in. Panic rose instantly. Memories of last life,
10:32the ambush, the zombies. It all flashed in my mind. I quickly took a deep breath to calm down.
10:38I grabbed my phone, and searched for ways to get an RV moving in deep snow. One solution,
10:43was to modify the tires, but the extreme cold, could lure in zombies. It was too risky. I searched more
10:49options, but rejected them all. I, entered the storage space, looking at the weapons. I made up my mind.
10:55Even if the RV remained stuck, I was ready, to fight the gang to the death. As frustration set in,
11:01my phone rang again. Another call from Reini. I was about to decline it when,
11:05a familiar voice came through. Congratulations on surviving the crisis.
