Short filmTranscript
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.
00:23Is 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 other new, and I can give you a discount.
00:54The city will be locked down at 8am tomorrow. Get out if you can. Stock up on supplies until your
00:59place is full.
01:09There's an emergency at home. I need to take leave.
01:12Okay Emily, go on home. Take a week off.
01:20Dad, drive back to City Q right now. I'm coming home today.
01:24Honey, 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. Leave 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? A huge metropolis with tens of millions of people, a major
02:17transportation hubbit,
02:18locking down just like that? Why run away from the most important economic and cultural center unless it's already out
02:24of 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. The city is locking down at 8am tomorrow.
02:43Someone warned me to leave right away and stock up on supplies. I'm so scared. Please believe me, Mom and
02:47Dad. We really need to buy enough to last at least a year.
02:50Don't be afraid. Mom and Dad have your back, always. Who would we trust if not you? Stocking up, right?
02:57Don't wait for my cooking today. I'm heading to the wholesale market first. Send me the list of what you
03:01ordered, baby. I'll check what you're missing and fill in the gaps.
03:09Our family will be fine. Stop panicking. Pack your things properly and head to the airport.
03:14I already placed an order for a batch of supplies. To avoid drawing attention, I had them delivered to the
03:18B1 parking garage around 8pm. When you could be upstairs, be careful not to run into anyone.
03:21Okay, don't worry, sweetie. Mom will never let anything happen to you.
03:44Let's go. Let's go.
03:46Let's go. Look.
04:11I don't know.
04:32I have to face it, this is already the last train to the airport.
04:56It'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, 4 whole chicken.
05:21Still need chicken wings and drum hocks, is there anything else you want?
05:24Mom, you're incredible.
05:25Listen, remember to buy a solar generator, batteries and a few more refrigerators.
05:30I'll search for the rest.
05:38Attention all passengers bound for city queue.
05:42This flight is about to depart.
05:51Hold on.
05:52If I throw up now, everyone will notice.
06:01I don't know.
06:03I don't know.
06:11I don't know.
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.
07:08I 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 stair hill.
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, everything's here.
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?
09:14What was that?
09:44What was that?
09:46Movies are just movies.
09:47I 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.
09:54Judging from this, the virus spreads through saliva and blood.
09:57Right now, these zombies seem mindless, wandering aimlessly in circles.
10:01After that sick man vomited earlier, they were drawn to the smell and swarmed around building 10 where he lives.
10:07That means they hunt relying on hearing and smell.
10:11Honey, let's get some sleep. We 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. Wake up.
10:38You have a fever, baby. Take this medicine and you'll feel better.
10:52The number of zombies between building 10 and building 12 hasn't changed.
10:57Still 11.
10:59It means there are likely no new infected in our community.
11:03I have no idea what sustains them.
11:05They 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.
11:27Dad, come quick!
11:37Dad, should we help him?
11:43Help might come for us soon.
11:47I think we can give him something, just not too much.
11:52That makes sense.
11:55Two packs of compressed biscuits and two chocolate bars.
12:00But 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.
12:23Oh no!
12:25No!
12:26Oh no!
12:27No!
12:27No!
12:40No...!
12:42Naaaah!
12:44No!
12:46No!
13:00Oh my god, it's horrifying.
13:17Sweetie, what's wrong?
13:18Mom, Dad, that man downstairs, he'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.
13:27They made it first down, Lamar's supplies.
13:30We might have been the ones killed tonight.
13:31In this world, even kindness can get you killed.
13:35All right.
13:36Honey, go back to your room and rest.
13:39Margaret, you take over the night watch.
13:41I'll reinforce our fire doors, our fire door with extra defenses.
13:57Who says being trapped indoors means we're just waiting to die?
14:15Damn you.
14:16Just you wait.
14:18I'll make you pay.
14:29The dying woman's last words played in my mind.
14:33She mouthed one thing to me.
14:35Run.
14:46Hi.
14:48Hi.
14:52You hear me?
14:53You hear me?
14:54Do you hear me?
14:55Do you hear me?
15:50Sweetie, was what you did today truly foolproof?
15:54Of course.
15:55I'm not reckless. I'd never gamble with my own life.
15:58Deep down, I knew the plan was full of flaws.
16:00If the zombies had caught me before I got in the elevator,
16:03or if that man downstairs had noticed the changing floor numbers and grown suspicious,
16:06I would be dead a hundred times over.
16:08My plan came with high rewards, but equally high risks.
16:11That was why I never let my parents get involved.
16:13Do you think your father and I are weak, hiding behind you, waiting to be protected?
16:19Watching your child take dangerous risks just to keep the family safe
16:21is the cruelest thing a parent can endure.
16:23Have you ever thought?
16:24Two people begged for supplies that day.
16:26Where is the other one?
16:27Could he be hiding on the 14th floor, waiting to ambush you?
16:32I... I never considered that.
16:34Baby, beyond being your family,
16:37you need to learn to trust and cooperate with others.
16:40We are not burdens.
16:41We survive this together.
16:50Thirteen people went out to search for supplies,
16:53but only five actually made it back.
16:55A severe two-day rainstorm hit one night in September.
16:59It completely submerged the first floor
17:01and put the second floor in imminent danger.
17:06Will the buildings collapse after being soaked in rainwater for so long?
17:10It's unlikely.
17:12Flooding mostly shortens a building's lifespan,
17:14not bring it down at once.
17:15Flooding once.
17:44I'll see you next time.
17:50I can't help. I feel like the zombies are watching them.
17:54The supplies they brought back is only enough for one person to survive three days.
17:59I reckon they'll have to go out for more.
18:01But I heard the streets are flooded with them.
18:41I'll see you next time.
18:47Oh my god! It's an intelligent variant!
18:50The zombies downstairs have evolved, and they've spawned a leader!
18:53This is terrible. Will we even survive?
18:56Don't be afraid, my love. As long as we stay together as a family, we'll get through anything.
18:59Based on everything I observed, I've categorized them as Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3.
19:03Stage 1 zombies are the mindless ones from the early days of the apocalypse.
19:07Stage 2 are the evolved ones that hunted the survivors today.
19:09Enhanced physical ability with basic primitive intelligence.
19:13Stage 3 are the intelligent overlords that can command the horde, even capable of showing primitive emotion.
19:18Evolution is only accelerating.
19:20If we don't stop them soon, there will surely be Stage 4, Stage 5, and beyond.
19:24This is catastrophic.
19:25We've lost all contact with the government.
19:27We have no idea what has become of the outside world.
19:29We held our breath until the last zombie left the neighborhood, finally able to relax.
19:34Yet overwhelming loneliness washed over me.
19:37The world had grown deathly quiet, leaving only the three of us alive.
19:41You've been down lately. Go tend to the plants to clear your head.
19:44It feels as if I'm nurturing the last hope for humanity.
19:47Some of the potatoes we stockpiled long ago have sprouted.
19:50I plant them alongside the new vegetables.
19:52I cut out the sprouting the buds, then bury them in soil-filled water bottles.
19:57Once leaves grow in, I dig up the rooted spruits and transplant them into large cardboard boxes,
20:03alongside the other healthy seedlings.
20:05I fertilize the crops every 20 days.
20:08I snip off all beading flowers to stop the plants for wasting nutrients and withering.
20:16Even on such a sacred holiday, we can only celebrate in the simplest, saddest way.
20:23How much longer must we endure this cursed world?
20:27I never cared for Christmas pudding.
20:29I wouldn't take a single bite last Christmas.
20:32This year is different, though.
20:34Every ingredient feels incredibly precious.
20:37It has been six months since the zombie outbreak,
20:39and we treasure every scrape of food more than ever before.
21:09I have a bad feeling.
21:11The zombies are evolving again.
21:17With explosions this massive,
21:20could the military have arrived?
21:43It seems cruelty has become their pastime in this broken world.
21:46With their endless looting,
21:47the last traces of ordinary survivors in this community are being erased.
21:50My fingers go numb.
21:52I barely have time to mourn the dead.
21:53At this rate, we'll be next by tomorrow.
21:55Once they find the locked stair hall door,
21:57there will be no way out for us.
22:02To stay hidden, we can only survive on compressed biscuits today.
22:06No fireplace, no fire at all.
22:08Outsiders clearly know how to fight the undead.
22:10They carry no fear, living carefree in the apocalypse.
22:14Compared their recklessness,
22:15our small family is trapped in heavy, suffocating dread.
22:17I run through every possible plan in my head,
22:20yet none seem enough to keep us safe.
22:22I refuse to die like this.
22:30Stay safe, sweetie.
22:32I will, dad.
22:33I will, dad.
23:15Thank goodness.
23:16It still works.
23:31It only has a flight time of 23 minutes.
23:33We have to turn back after 7 kilometers.
23:46The zombie horde didn't come.
23:49My plan failed.
23:51It's all right.
23:52We'll figure out another way.
23:53I'd hope the noise from the drone would lure the evolved zombies
23:55from the city center into our community.
23:57They would fight the intruders,
23:58buying us time to find a way to survive.
24:00But I drew nothing.
24:01Every one of my guesses was wrong.
24:02The drone needs four hours to fully charge.
24:04We can't fly it again until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
24:06By then, the intruders will have started searching the buildings.
24:09It will be too late.
24:18What I feared has finally come.
24:27Honey, your nose is bleeding.
24:37Have some chocolate.
24:38Sweets are said to boost dopamine and calm you down.
24:46I'll try one last time.
24:48This is my final gamble.
24:50Our last struggle before everything ends.
25:20It seems the three of us are the last
25:22surviving people left in City Q.
25:30Just stay here forever.
25:50We're saved.
25:55We're saved.
26:05We're saved.
26:10We're saved.
26:33I still can't believe it.
26:36Are we truly safe now?
26:37The zombie outbreak was a global catastrophe, and our nation was among the worst hit regions.
26:41The government has exhausted every resource on rescue and containment.
26:44Here in Q-City, we have eliminated the last remaining undead.
26:47Only three major cities nationwide still await full clearance.
26:50We must accept the heavy consequences this disaster has left behind.
26:54Restoring public trust will not happen overnight.
26:57The explosions you heard in the night were part of Operation HICU,
27:00a joint campaign between military and civilian task forces.
27:03Your drone drew no response from the undead for one simple reason.
27:08There were no zombies left in Q-City.
27:10For half a year, this city has been nothing but an empty dead zone.
27:14Temporary safe havens have been established in every provincial capital.
27:17Most survivors have already been relocated there.
27:20Your community lies far from the city center and was newly developed,
27:23so rescue notifications were delayed.
27:25Thermal scans from military drones mark this area as completely uninhabitated.
27:29We are so sorry.
27:33None of this is your fault.
27:35Your drone's low-altitude patrols caught our attention long ago.
27:38We spotted the shaky blood-written SOS today.
27:41We hesitated, uncertain if it was a genuine plea or an enemy trap.
27:45Refusing to abandon any chance of saving lives,
27:47we tracked the drone back to this complex and waited for the right moment.
27:50I trust you.
27:52I trust it's our country.
27:59Come in.
28:00Warm up with a cup of hot cocoa.
28:04They never imagined anyone could have survived hidden inside this community.
28:10One vicious-looking man fixed me with a cold, vengeful glare.
28:15He may have been plot-rotting retaliation,
28:18but none of it mattered anymore.
28:30I hope it heals soon.
28:33Just like all of humanity.
28:34You reasoned people is the only little virus that you've ever escaped through Friday.
28:34You know what?
