Short filmTranscript
00:16I'm not sure if what just happened was a dream, but one detail is burned into my memory.
00:22If this is a rebirth, a massive celebrity scandal will break tonight.
00:27Oh my god, I've really been reborn. In seven days, a global disaster will break out. The zombie virus.
00:33It first emerged from a few places that it can be quickly denied by officials.
00:36I went along with the crowd online, spouting lines about trusting science and never paid it any mind.
00:40But in just three short days, the virus spiraled completely out of control.
00:46Communication signals died out far too quickly last life.
00:49My biggest regret was never knowing if my parents were safe until the very end.
00:52Hey, Mom and Dad. It's been snowing in City A lately. Could you come visit me? I'm craving the apple
01:01pie you make, Mom.
01:02Of course, sweetie. We'll head over tomorrow.
01:07Dad, don't forget the sausages I love.
01:11Okay.
01:13Last life, the power cut out on the third day after the zombie apric.
01:17I have to write down everything I need to prepare.
01:19I haven't put my brain this hard since finishing my college thesis.
01:23Honestly, writing that paper was easier. After all, this is a matter of life and death.
01:31Sophia, your door is already sturdy enough. It's just as secure as a bank vault door. There's no need for
01:37extra reinforcement.
01:38My dad insisted on getting this door replaced. He said it's too dangerous for a young woman to live alone.
01:44I never liked these heavy, bulky doors, but I couldn't argue with him back then.
01:48Also, replace every window in the house with top-clear bulletproof glass and add one-way privacy film on top.
01:57That'll take three days to finish.
02:00I'll pay you an extra 10,000 US dollars. Can you finish it this afternoon?
02:04My mom's coming to stay, and she suffers from persecutory delusions.
02:08No problem. We'll get started right away.
02:15Please take me to Metro Cash and Karma.
02:18Thank goodness. I've earned solid income from my years as a streamer.
02:22I still have over 700,000 in total savings.
02:25I'll talk to my parents when they arrive, and combined with their savings, we'll have roughly one and a half
02:29million.
02:38Dad, go rent a cargo truck and meet me at Metro Cash and Caller.
02:42Exactly. I'm doing a fan giveaway for my stream.
02:45The bulletproof glass has all been installed.
02:51The pandemic's getting bad again. Stock up on plenty of food for your families.
03:08Looks like I'll need to buy two large freezers.
03:19Whoa. Honey, you've really splurged. How much stuff are you planning to give away?
03:26Sophia, why did you replace all the windows at home, stock up on so many supplies, and rush your mom
03:32and me over in such a hurry?
03:34What's really going on?
03:47Reinforcing doors and windows is enough. We need soundproofing, too.
03:50If people hear noise from our place, they'll break in and steal our supplies.
04:01Should we raise a few chickens?
04:03No. Chickens make too much noise.
04:06Then we'll raise fish instead.
04:13We should buy some vegetable seeds as well.
04:17That's a great idea, darling. You stay home and organize things. I'll take our daughter to Sam's Clayton.
04:29This should last me well into menopause.
04:32Oh, right, Dad. Soon after the zombie outbreak, the power and natural gas will be cut off.
04:37We need to install solar panels at home.
04:39Okay.
04:44Sophia, your company's management is truly unreasonable.
04:47Donations to charity are one thing, but why donate physical supplies?
04:51And sending a young girl to buy all of this alone?
04:56It's all for Zai's areas. Companies come to stock up this all the time these years.
05:15Mom, where did you put all our supplies?
05:19On the rooftop.
05:23We still need to stock up on medicine and multivitamins.
05:27Our water reserve isn't nearly enough.
05:29Sophia, tomorrow you and your father go buy more drinking water.
05:33Hit multiple stores and buy small quantities at each one.
05:36I'll go get seeds and planting soil tomorrow.
05:41Mom, don't you remember?
05:42Every time you and Dad visit, you bring me piles of medicine all with fresh expiration dates.
05:47The last batch was only about 10 days ago.
05:50That may be true, but the situation is going to turn critical.
05:53We need extra supplies just in case.
05:56Dad, don't forget the solar panels and the large freezers.
06:01The study has more than enough space for two big freezers.
06:0810 buckets of drinking water, 10 packs of bottled mineral water, 50 packs of assorted seeds, 10 sacks of wheat,
06:1550 kg of chicken breast, 20 kg of chicken wings, 20 kg of chicken feet, and 20 kg of beef
06:21fill the truck to the brim.
06:28Oh!
06:29That's what's happening.
06:40That's what I've ever done.
06:49That's what I say about the spoonful, man.
06:52What are you doing, someone?
06:52You must find the승man.
06:5370 packs of salt, 10 crates of soy sauce, 5 crates of vinegar, 3 crates of oyster sauce, 20 packs
07:01of tissues.
07:03I've used up all my accumulated store coupons.
07:12We need an escape plan if things go wrong.
07:14A high safety vehicle is essential.
07:17You have excellent taste, Ms. Sophia.
07:19This RV is bulletproof with a high chassis, extremely safe for emergencies.
07:24I'll take it.
07:26I'll help you complete all the paperwork.
07:28You can pick up the vehicle in three days.
07:33We'll store these in the RV once we pick it up.
07:36If the situation collapses, we leave immediately.
07:41Forgive me for not being able to reveal the truth.
07:44I'm just an ordinary person.
07:46I only want to protect my family.
07:49I can never be a savior.
07:51Water and power are fully secured.
07:54I've rented the empty next door apartment solely for garbage storage.
07:58Everything is nearly ready.
08:08I've observed for days.
08:10These floors are completely unoccupied.
08:15Dad, Mom.
08:17We'll get through this together.
08:38One should never stop learning, no matter the circumstances.
08:45Not sure about studying, but these books would definitely hurt if you hit someone with them.
08:49Thanks to my memories from my past life, I know zombies are extremely sensitive to light.
08:54We keep the house dark every night.
08:56This small trick keeps both zombies and dangerous strangers away.
09:00Help!
09:01Help!
09:02Help!
09:04Help!
09:05Help!
09:09Dad.
09:10Mom.
09:12Will those creatures turn back into humans?
09:15There's nothing to fear.
09:16We're together as a family.
09:18Even if the sky falls, I'll always protect you too.
09:22The only way to kill them instantly is to strike their heads.
09:25Hitting any other part of the body is useless.
09:28They can no longer feel pain.
09:30Don't worry.
09:31Your mother and I watched The Walking Dead a few days ago.
09:33We know all about these things.
09:35Dad, Mom, I have to say this.
09:36In the end times, the most terrible thing is not the walkers, but human nature.
09:39We can only protect ourselves.
09:41We cannot be saviors.
09:42I know you've spent your whole lives as teachers, always kind to others, but this is the apocalypse.
09:46We have to put our own safety first.
09:48Don't worry, sweetie.
09:49We understand.
09:51As long as our family stays safe and sound.
10:26We shouldn't reply to the survey.
10:28We have more than enough supplies and our household is small.
10:31What if desperate people come breaking in to rob us?
10:33I saw in the group this morning that everyone else seems to be holding up fine.
10:36After lunch, I'll keep watch.
10:38Sophia and your father can take turns using the treadmill to stay active.
10:43Hello, resident.
10:44Are you at home?
10:45We're counting survivors.
10:46Why haven't you replied to the message?
10:47Oh, I'm not home right now.
10:49I'm staying at my hometown.
10:51All right.
10:51That's all we needed to know.
10:53Why would they call with a video call out of nowhere?
10:55It just dawned on me.
10:56A few days ago, your mother and I went shopping in the RV.
11:01On the way back, a stranger stopped us and asked why we'd stockpiled so many supplies.
11:05This building has two households per floor, and no one can get upstairs without an elevator
11:10key card.
11:10I already claimed my spare card was lost and took the second one days ago, but we still
11:14can't risk it.
11:15Sophia, do you remember when the power went out in your past life?
11:18Roughly two or three days from now.
11:20That's bad.
11:30It's inhumane, but we have no other choice.
11:33All that matters is keeping our family alive.
11:35It's for the best.
11:36Stairwells are far safer.
11:38Elevators are a death trap in emergencies.
11:40Sophia, don't overthink it.
11:42Your father and I checked before.
11:43The elevator goes straight down to the underground parking lot, but the elevator lobby is pitch
11:47black and far more dangerous.
11:48The stairs give us a better chance of escape, whether going up or down.
11:52I guess that's the only way we can comfort ourselves.
11:59All residents, we are facing an unprecedented disaster.
12:03Please stay indoors and wait for government rescue.
12:08Trust us, we will never abandon anyone.
12:13I've always wondered why rescue never came for me.
12:16Not even until my death in my past life.
12:18I'm just ordinary, small, and selfish.
12:20Even with a second chance, all I want is for my family to survive.
12:23All residents, please hold on to hope!
12:26Who still uses loud beakers in the digital age?
12:29It's absolutely reckless.
12:30Sophia?
12:32Will they climb up here?
12:33Don't worry, Mom.
12:34We're on the 21st floor.
12:36We'll be fine.
12:41What a waste.
12:57I remember that couple clearly.
13:00They were among the first to venture out for supplies and in return safely with huge loads.
13:07In my past life, they never stepped outside again until I died.
13:24I know where they're going.
13:26They're after solar panels.
13:28And they'll come back with two vehicles.
13:34I know where they're going.
13:54They're so brave.
13:57Their boldest move is still tonight.
14:00That couple will go go out one last time.
14:04If I remember correctly, they'll clear out the entire metro supermarket.
14:13Honestly, I have no idea what the world outside is like right now.
14:18But judging by how they've returned safe and sound twice,
14:22this couple is clearly strong and capable.
14:49Life is about to get far harder for ordinary residents now.
15:00Stay indoors and wait for aid.
15:04Supply drops will be delivered to all residents.
15:08The access door for the apartment blot directly opposite us has been broken for a long time.
15:15That was just a trivial issue before the apocalypse, but now it's a death sentence.
15:20It's one less layer of protection they desperately need.
15:50It's one less gate planeta.
15:53It's another place.
15:54It's a situation where people can walk the downstairs.
15:54It's a pattern where people can walk thes and they can walk the stairs together.
16:04We have to be cautious, more cautious than ever.
16:07We're not strong in a fight.
16:09If real danger comes, I fear I won't be able to protect you two.
16:13I could never rest in peace if that happened.
16:16Dad, you'd better keep yourself in good shape.
16:18If anything happens to you, Mom and I won't stand a chance out here.
16:26Starting today, everyone adds ten extra minutes.
16:42Selfish people.
16:43They only care about saving their own skins.
17:12It would be terrible if Dad gets sick.
17:15Our medical replies are already limited.
17:18We stockpiled plenty of basic daily medicines and first aid manuals in advance.
17:23But Mom still hasn't fully figured out how to use many of the potions and medications.
17:28Leonard, go lie down and sleep right now.
17:30Get plenty of rest.
17:31In this doomsday wasteland, good health is our greatest asset for survival.
17:45Let's treat ourselves to a hearty dinner tonight, just for once.
17:52Christmas Eve will be here in six days.
17:55Mom, let's make gingerbread and cookies.
17:58And roast turkey with red wine.
18:01Sounds perfect.
18:15Mom, I've noticed that the elite male zombie has grown much weaker.
18:19I'm sure others have noticed it too.
18:21It's only a matter of time before we wipe out all the zombies.
18:24All we need to do is wait for rescue.
18:26Are you ready?
18:27Are you ready?
18:28Are you ready?
18:28Are you ready?
18:28Are you ready?
18:29Are you ready?
18:30Are you ready?
18:30Are you ready?
18:32Are you ready?
18:32Are you ready?
18:48Luckily, there aren't many zombies around here.
18:51If we were in a busy downtown area, that gunshot would have drawn hordes of them over.
18:58Do you remember anything about these people from your past life?
19:02I only remember they started looting the compound out of nowhere.
19:05Within three or four days, around 20 to 30 people died here.
19:09In the end, the heavy blood scent attracted massive numbers of zombies.
19:13Even with guns, they couldn't fight off the horde, and they turned into zombies too.
19:17That's exactly why the zombie population in this compound exploded overnight.
19:21They cannot be spared.
19:23Zombies are highly sensitive to sound and scent.
19:26I have a way to lure them here, but how do we drive them away afterward?
19:29Are we just going to let them wander around the compound forever?
19:32You're right, Dad.
19:33We have to plan ahead.
19:34If I remember correctly, they'll start looting the compound tomorrow afternoon.
19:37They never got to our building in my past life, but I'm terrified things might change
19:40this time around.
19:42Besides, even if we lure the zombies over, we must never expose our hiding spot.
19:45What if other survivors in the compound spot us?
19:47It all comes down to scent.
19:48I can mix supplies we have on hand to make a scent nearly identical to blood, and it will
19:53last for about three hours.
19:54That window of time is more than enough to draw in a large group of zombies.
19:58Once the three hours are up, we can use the drone to release the blood scent in other
20:01deserted areas far away.
20:02The drone has an 8 km flight radius.
20:05There's a reservoir just 3 km away, completely isolated and uninhabited.
20:11We can release the scent there.
20:12If the scent can't travel far enough, we can pilot the drone to drop the blood scent repeatedly
20:17along the route towards the reservoir.
20:19We'll wear them down little by little until all the zombies are drawn away.
20:31Mom, why didn't you sleep a longer?
20:33I need to finish off those people outside as soon as possible.
20:37Other res, I camped asleep.
21:13Now we can have breakfast.
21:22look how panicked they are but their vehicles are still by the security booth
21:26if they want to leave they'll have to fight their way through the zombie horde
21:33there seems to be a leader zombies an elegant urban woman in a dress
21:37she tie haunted behind the feud of zombies and doesn't forwards but
21:41it looks like she's passantly directing them with her hands
21:45it seems zombies have evolved intelligence i'm afraid they'll keep evolving the big question
21:50now is how far will they evolve all right there's no point dwelling on this instead of overthinking
21:56it we better check if we watered the vegetables today and sophia you need to go get some sleep
22:01don't worry about all this
22:12attention all residents the government has established safe havens along the coast
22:16the bases are guarded and fully secured all survivors are advised to make their way there
22:21on their own official notice supply drops will only be provided for five days
22:29thank goodness mom's trick lured most of the zombies away from our compound
22:32otherwise with how chaotic things are countless people would have ended up as zombie prey
22:37we're lucky this compound doesn't have many residents imagine if it were crowded
22:40limited supplies endless human greed even without zombies humans would drive themselves to total
22:45annihilation they must have agreed to head for the safe haven as a group thinking their safety in
22:51numbers i'm not so sure that's a good thing from what i've noticed that one family who used to go
22:58out scavenging hasn't left at all they have an elderly person and a small child at home only the
23:04husband and wife are capable of fighting with enough stockpiled supplies there's really no need for
23:09them to take the risk of leaving hello we've been watching you for a long time we mean no harm
23:21as you
23:22must know we have plenty of supplies and we assume you do too we want to form an alliance with
23:27you and
23:36let's ally with them even if only the husband and wife can stand guard over there it will still make
23:43things much easier for us
23:56we have three people in our household who can take watch duty
24:03that way each of us only needs to keep watch for four hours a day
24:07it'll lighten our load a lot
24:18i'll go make dinner these past few days i haven't seen anyone enter or leave the compound apart from
24:25our family and the household obsesit everyone else must have headed for the safe haven or failed to
24:30survive the bitter cold winter
24:44sofia is it too cold for you to sleep leonard and i bought these on our last trip outside we
24:52worried the
24:52weather would turn freezing and make it impossible to sleep at night
24:57we should give this pack to the family next door tomorrow they have an elderly person at home who
25:02must struggle to sleep in the cold we only use one each at night anyway and we have three whole
25:08boxes
25:09we'll have more than enough
25:22thank you so much grandma has bad legs and can't stand the cold with these warm patches grandma can
25:31finally sleep well
25:42looking back forming an alliance with hunter and wendy was truly a good decision
25:47before the outbreak hunter worked as a fitness trainer and wendy was a doctor on the day the
25:52disaster began wendy was off work and planned to take the elderly and their child out for the afternoon
25:58with hunter that was how their whole family survived by sheer luck a doctor is such a rare and valuable
26:04professional profession in the endoats
26:37so
26:39i'm
26:44you
26:50and
26:55you
27:01and
27:02and
27:03and
27:14if we'd save that girl during the day would she have survived mom we can only save ourselves
27:43the drone doesn't have much load capacity dad i admire your patience
27:56the hunters really do have a chicken cube i heard the old lady got it on a whim long ago
28:01never thought it'd be so useful in the end times they only have two young hens they only started
28:06laying eggs about a week before the outbreak they only get one or two eggs a day the hunters must
28:11have saved these five up over several days they have the elderly and little kids to look after
28:16we should send them some vitamin c supplements
28:21mom dad remember to eat those two leftover eggs tomorrow morning sweetheart you and leonard have
28:27them i've never really liked eggs fine if you won't eat them i won't either dad mom we have enough
28:35supplies i know you're trying to save everything for me but if our own reserves can't hold out
28:40how am i supposed to survive alone you know how much i love you both what joy would there be
28:47in
28:47living on my own without you you're right honey starting today i'll spend more time running on the
29:15treadmill
29:16warning a zombie horde is coming can't see clearly from far away two of us will keep watch tonight at
29:23our place send one person from your family to stand guard to
29:36oh my god this is terrifying don't be afraid i don't think they'll stop here
29:48mom let's skip cooking today with so many zombies out there any little noise could put us in terrible
29:54danger let's just have some bread instead
29:59god protect us i suppose we have no other choice
30:05could they be afraid of the sun but why i remember they weren't bothered by sunlight at
30:11all when the outbreak first started
30:19it's been dark for hours and those zombies still haven't moved an inch
30:23no to be precise they haven't moved since early this morning
30:31these zombies feel no pain they only keep charging forward they won't go around obstacles they just
30:36surge ahead crashing into anything in their path without hesitation
30:42oh my god
30:45i dare not imagine what would happen if the horde passes straight through our compound
30:51we'd be trapped right in the middle of it there'd be no way out in any direction
31:13thank goodness we agreed to ally with them back then otherwise this endless hellish end times would
31:18have driven us insane long ago
31:24it's already been more than half a year since the outbreak our entire city has lost all life
31:32yeah it feels like we're just numbly surviving eating drinking exercising every day waiting for
31:39the government to come rescue us if it were just us alone isolated like an island with no one else
31:44i think we would have lost our minds long ago elena's birthday is in two days
31:49sofia let's celebrate it for her together that's a wonderful idea dad even in the end times at
31:55least our family is still safe and together
32:12please hold on a little longer i give you my word in three months at most we will put an
32:18end to all
32:18all of this survivors hiding inside we've left supplies for anyone still alive we have urgent
32:25missions to complete and cannot guarantee your safety if you come with us
32:38it must mean they've successfully developed a vaccine at last rescue is almost here just leave it there
32:44neither of our families lack supplies if anyone else passes by someday it can give them a little hope
32:50i pray this catastrophe ends soon may our family stay safe and unharmed
33:09this is the best they can offer with what they have exactly the hunters rarely ask us for anything for
33:14one thing they have plenty of supplies themselves for another they always know their place and keep to
33:25themselves mom dad the rain is way too heavy i'll keep watch tonight and see how high the water rises
33:51send this to them
33:52send this to them
34:03hey keep going stay safe out there hi you must be starving we brought you eggs please eat
34:17would you like to come up for a rest have a proper hot meal no need to trouble yourselves we
34:23still
34:23have a mission to complete thank you so much for the food it's been a very long time since we've
34:28had anything this delicious wait a moment then i'll send you more supplies
34:41thank you all please hold on a little longer give us two more months and we will definitely give you
34:49back a safe peaceful life
34:56probably because our compound has few people and stays safe they don't have to watch out for
35:01any other sneak attacks from other survivors amid hordes of zombies
35:20so
35:30come on in and rest you've been working so hard yes please make yourselves
35:35i'm sorry for tricking you into coming up here like this it's quite all right we're the ones
35:40who should thank you for the food you're so lucky to have stocked up on so much supplies right
35:44at the start of the outbreak you have no idea within just a few days the outside turned into a
35:50living
35:50hell we only happened to come visit our daughter back then we've struggled a great deal too
35:57so what's the situation really like out there this is a global disaster the rescue effort launched
36:02from the laurent capital circle pushing outward city by city many areas have now been secured and
36:08are in the middle of post-disaster reconstruction but humanity has suffered catastrophic losses
36:14far too many lives perished in this catastrophe
36:18these are compact and taste pretty good they can help vary your meals living on nothing but bottled
36:24water and bread every day must be dreadful
36:28in these desperate times your kindness is something we will always be grateful for leonard
