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 in a few first cities and was 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. My biggest regret was never knowing if my parents were safe
00:52until the very end.
00:53Hey, 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.
01:08Dad, don't forget the sausages I love.
01:10Okay.
01:14Last life, the power cut out on the third day after the zombie apric. I have to write down everything
01:18I need to prepare.
01:19I haven't put my brain this hard since finishing my college thesis. Honestly, writing that paper was easier. After all,
01:26this 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 ten thousand 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
02:30million.
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
03:33and 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.
04:30This 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.
05:16Mom, 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.
05:30Sophia, 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.
05:54We need extra supplies just in case.
05:57Dad, 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
06:22fill the truck to the brim.
06:52Boom, it's over 35.
06:52The resolution is amazing!
06:53Sea, 2 of the Sun.
06:53All the different baits come out and play for prayer.
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.
07:47I only want to protect my family.
07:49I can never be a savior.
07:52Water and power are fully secured.
07:54I've rented the empty next door apartment solely for garbage storage.
07:59Everything is nearly ready.
08:08I've observed for days.
08:10These floors are completely unoccupied.
08:16Dad, Mom, we'll get through this together.
08:39One 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.
08:57This small trick keeps both zombies and dangerous strangers away.
09:09Dad, Mom, will 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.
09:50We understand.
09:51As long as our family stays safe and sound.
10:08What the hell is wrong with you?
10:10Help, help, help!
10:14Shit, get off me!
10:15Get off!
10:27We shouldn't reply to the survey.
10:29We 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.
10:37After 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?
10:48Oh, I'm not home right now.
10:49I'm staying at my hometown.
10:51All right, that'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.
11:06This building has two households per floor, and no one can get upstairs without an elevator key card.
11:11I already claimed my spare card was lost and took the second one days ago, but we still can't risk
11:15it.
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.
11:37Stairwells are far safer.
11:38Elevators are a death trap in emergencies.
11:40Sophia, don't overthink it.
11:42Your father and I checked before.
11:44The elevator goes straight down to the underground parking lot, but the elevator lobby is pitch black and far more
11:48dangerous.
11:49The stairs give us a better chance of escape, whether going up or down.
11:53I guess that's the only way we can comfort ourselves.
11:58All 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 and 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?
12:32Sophia?
12:33How do they climb up here?
12:34Don't worry, mom.
12:35We're on the 21st floor.
12:36We'll be fine.
12:42What 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.
13:41I know where they're going.
13:54They're so brave.
13:57Their boldest move is still tonight.
14:01That 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.
14:39No one has it easy in this world.
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,
15:18but now it's a death sentence.
15:20It's one less layer of protection they desperately need.
15:48Oh, my God.
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.
17:13It 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?
18:28Are you ready?
18:28Are you ready?
18:29Are you ready?
18:30Are you ready?
18:36Are you ready?
18:40Are you ready?
18:42Are you ready?
18:43Are you ready?
18:48Luckily, there aren't many zombies around here.
18:52If we were in a busy downtown area,
18:55that gunshot would have drawn hordes of them over.
18:59Do you remember anything about these people from your past life?
19:02I only remember they started looting the compound out of nowhere.
19:06Within 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,
19:15and 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.
19:28But how do we drive them away afterward?
19:30Are we just gonna 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,
19:39but I'm terrified things might change this time around.
19:42Besides, even if we lure the zombies over,
19:43we must never expose our hiding spot.
19:45What if other survivors in the compound spot us?
19:47It all comes down to scent.
19:49I can mix supplies we have on hand to make a scent nearly identical to blood,
19:52and it will last 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,
19:59we can use the drone to release the blood scent in other deserted areas far away.
20:03The drone has an eight kilometer flight radius.
20:05There's a reservoir just three kilometers away,
20:08completely isolated and uninhabited.
20:11We can release the scent there.
20:12If the scent can't travel far enough,
20:14we can pilot the drone to drop the blood scent repeatedly along 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?
20:34I need to finish off those people outside as soon as possible.
20:37Other res, I can't be asleep.
21:13Now we can have breakfast.
21:22Look how panicked they are.
21:24But their vehicles are still by the security booth.
21:26If they want to leave,
21:28they'll have to fight their way through the zombie horde.
21:33There seems to be a leader, zombies.
21:35An elegant urban woman in a truss.
21:38She tie-haunted behind the boot of zombies and doesn't forwards,
21:41but it looks like she's passantly directing them with her hands.
21:45It seems zombies have evolved intelligence.
21:48I'm afraid they'll keep evolving.
21:50The big question now is,
21:51how far will they evolve?
21:53All right, there's no point dwelling on this.
21:55Instead of overthinking it,
21:56we'd better check if we watered the vegetables today.
21:59And Sophia, you need to go get some sleep.
22:01Don't worry about all this.
22:13Attention all residents.
22:14The government has established safe havens along the coast.
22:17The bases are guarded and fully secure.
22:19All survivors are advised to make their way there on their own.
22:22Official notice.
22:23Supply drops will only be provided for five days.
22:29Thank goodness Mom's trick lured most of the zombies away from our compound.
22:33Otherwise, with how chaotic things are,
22:35countless people would have ended up as zombie prey.
22:37We're lucky this compound doesn't have many residents.
22:40Imagine if it were crowded.
22:41Limited supplies, endless human greed.
22:43Even without zombies, humans would drive themselves to total annihilation.
22:48They must have agreed to head for the safe haven as a group,
22:51thinking there's safety in numbers.
22:52I'm not so sure that's a good thing.
22:56From what I've noticed,
22:57that one family who used to go out scavenging hasn't left at all.
23:00They have an elderly person and a small child at home.
23:03Only the husband and wife are capable of fighting.
23:06With enough stockpiled supplies,
23:08there's really no need for them to take the risk of leaving.
23:17Hello, we've been watching you for a long time.
23:20We mean no harm.
23:22As you must know, we have plenty of supplies,
23:24and we assume you do too.
23:26We want to form an alliance with you and take turns keeping watch together.
23:36Let's ally with them.
23:38Even if only the husband and wife can stand guard over there,
23:41it will still make things 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.
24:20These past few days,
24:21I haven't seen anyone enter or leave the compound.
24:24Apart from our family and the household Opsusit,
24:27everyone else must have headed for the safe haven
24:29or failed to survive the bitter cold winter.
24:44Sophia, is it too cold for you to sleep?
24:48Leonard and I bought these on our last trip outside.
24:51We worried the weather would turn freezing
24:53and make it impossible to sleep at night.
24:57We should give this pack to the family next door tomorrow.
25:00They have an elderly person at home
25:02who must struggle to sleep in the cold.
25:05We only use one each at night anyway,
25:07and we have three whole boxes.
25:09We'll have more than enough.
25:23Thank you so much.
25:25Grandma has bad legs and can't stand the cold.
25:29With these warm patches,
25:31Grandma can finally sleep well.
25:42Looking back,
25:43forming an alliance with Hunter and Wendy
25:45was truly a good decision.
25:47Before the outbreak,
25:49Hunter worked as a fitness trainer
25:50and Wendy was a doctor.
25:52On the day the disaster began,
25:54Wendy was off work
25:55and planned to take the elderly
25:56and their child out for the afternoon with Hunter.
25:59That was how their whole family survived
26:00by sheer luck.
26:02A doctor is such a rare
26:04and valuable profession in the endotes.
26:06Let's go.
26:38Let's go.
27:14If we'd save that girl during the day, would she have survived?
27:20Mom, we can only save ourselves.
27:43The drone doesn't have much load capacity, Dad.
27:46I admire your patience.
27:56The hunters really do have a chicken cube.
27:59I heard the old lady got it on a whim long ago.
28:01Never thought it'd be so useful in the end times.
28:03They only have two young hens.
28:05They only started laying eggs about a week before the outbreak.
28:09They only get one or two eggs a day.
28:11The hunters must have saved these five up over several days.
28:14They 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?
28:25Sweetheart, you and Leonard have them.
28:28I've never really liked eggs.
28:31Fine.
28:31If you won't eat them, I won't either.
28:34Dad, Mom, we have enough supplies.
28:36I 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?
28:42You know how much I love you both.
28:46What joy would there be in living on my own without you?
28:49You're right, honey.
28:52Starting today, I'll spend more time running on the treadmill.
28:57Oh, my God.
29:16Warning.
29:17A zombie horde is coming.
29:20Can't see clearly from far away.
29:22Two of us will keep watch tonight at our place.
29:24Send one person from your family to stand guard to...
29:37Oh, my God.
29:38This is terrifying.
29:39Don't be afraid.
29:40I don't think they'll stop here.
29:48Mom, let's skip cooking today.
29:50With so many zombies out there, any little noise could put us in terrible danger.
29:55Let's just have some bread instead.
29:59God protect us.
30:01I suppose we have no other choice.
30:05Could they be afraid of the sun?
30:07But why?
30:08I remember they weren't bothered by sunlight at all when the outbreak first started.
30:19It's been dark for hours, and those zombies still haven't moved an inch.
30:24No, to be precise, they haven't moved since early this morning.
30:31These zombies feel no pain.
30:33They only keep charging forward.
30:34They won't go around obstacles.
30:36They just surge ahead, crashing into anything in their path without hesitation.
30:43Oh, my God.
30:45I dare not imagine what would happen if the Horde passes straight through our compound.
30:52We'd be trapped right in the middle of it.
30:54There'd be no way out in any direction.
31:13Thank goodness we agreed to ally with them back then.
31:16Otherwise, this endless hellish end times would have driven us insane long ago.
31:24It's already been more than half a year since the outbreak.
31:29Our entire city has lost all life.
31:32Yeah.
31:33It feels like we're just numbly surviving.
31:35Eating, drinking, exercising every day, waiting for the government to come rescue us.
31:41If it were just us alone, isolated like an island with no one else, I think we would have lost
31:45our minds long ago.
31:47Elena's birthday is in two days.
31:49Sophia, let's celebrate it for her together.
31:52That's a wonderful idea, Dad.
31:54Even in the end times, at least our family is still safe and together.
32:12Please hold on a little longer.
32:14I give you my word.
32:16In three months at most, we will put an end to all of this.
32:21Survivors hiding inside.
32:23We've left supplies for anyone still alive.
32:25We have urgent missions to complete and cannot guarantee your safety if you come with us.
32:38It must mean they've successfully developed a vaccine.
32:41At last, rescue is almost here.
32:44Just leave it there.
32:45Neither of our families lack supplies.
32:47If anyone else passes by someday, it can give them a little hope.
32:50I pray this catastrophe ends soon.
32:53May our families stay safe and unharmed.
33:09This is the best they can offer with what they have.
33:11Exactly.
33:12The hunters rarely ask us for anything.
33:14For one thing, they have plenty of supplies themselves.
33:16For another, they always know their place and keep to themselves.
33:26Mom, Dad, the rain is way too heavy.
33:29I'll keep watch tonight and see how high the water rises.
33:50Send this to them.
33:54I'll keep watch tonight and see how high the water rises.
34:04Hey!
34:05Hey!
34:05Keep going!
34:06Stay safe out there!
34:08Hi!
34:09You must be starving!
34:11We brought you eggs!
34:13Please eat!
34:17Would you like to come up for a rest?
34:19Have a proper hot meal.
34:21No need to trouble yourselves.
34:22We still have a mission to complete.
34:24Thank you so much for the food.
34:26Dude, it's been a very long time since we've had anything this delicious.
34:31Wait a moment then.
34:32I'll send you more supplies.
34:42Thank you all.
34:43Please hold on a little longer.
34:45Give us two more months and we will definitely give you back a safe, peaceful life.
34:56Probably because our compound has few people and stays safe.
35:00They don't have to watch out for sneak attacks from other survivors amid hordes of zombies.
35:30Please.
35:30Come on in and rest.
35:32You've been working so hard.
35:33Yes, please make yourselves at home.
35:35I'm sorry for tricking you into coming up here like this.
35:39It's quite alright. We're the ones who should thank you for the food.
35:41You're so lucky to have stocked up on so much supplies right at the start of the outbreak.
35:46You have no idea.
35:47Within just a few days, the outside turned into a living hell.
35:51We only happened to come visit our daughter back then.
35:53We've struggled a great deal too.
35:57So what's the situation really like out there?
36:00This is a global disaster.
36:01The rescue effort launched from the Laurent Capital Circle, pushing outward city by city.
36:06Many areas have now been secured and are in the middle of post-disaster reconstruction.
36:11But humanity has suffered catastrophic losses.
36:14Far too many lives perished in this catastrophe.
36:18These are compact and taste pretty good.
36:21They can help vary your meals.
36:22Living on nothing but bottled water and bread every day must be dreadful.
36:28In these desperate times, your kindness is something we will always be grateful for.
36:32Leonard, please put new locks on the corridor doors.
36:35Make sure you keep yourself safe at all costs.
36:39You have my word.
36:41Dear citizens, winter will eventually pass and hope will always find its way.
36:46City A is now fully secure.
36:48Official defense forces have been stationed here.
36:51We will do everything in our power to guarantee your safety.
36:54It's finally over.
36:58Though this disaster left irreversible scars upon humanity,
37:02as long as people keep living, life will go on endlessly, generation after generation.
37:06And we make sure they have been beingетровzy in the process.
37:06So please pop up and show you the Who asset is still on roastHA.
37:06This can be brand new moderates with the Vitamin B.
