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.
00:22Is 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 8 a.m. tomorrow.
00:57Get out if you can. Stock up on supplies until your place is full.
01:09There's an emergency at home. I need to take leave.
01:11Okay, Emily, go on home. Take a week off.
01:20Dad, drive back to City Q right now. I'm coming home today.
01:23Honey, 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.
01:40Leave 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?
02:14A huge metropolis with tens of millions of people, a major transportation hubbit, locking down just like that?
02:20Why run away from the most important economic and cultural center unless it's already out of control?
02:25What is happening to this world?
02:33What's wrong, honey? What happened?
02:34Sweetie, does this have something to do with you coming home suddenly?
02:37I don't know exactly what's going on, but I know it's serious.
02:40The city is locking down at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
02:43Someone warned me to leave right away and stock up on supplies.
02:45I'm so scared. Please believe me, Mom and Dad.
02:48We really need to buy enough to last at least a year.
02:50Don't be afraid. Mom and Dad have your back, always.
02:53Who would we trust if not you?
02:56Stocking up, right?
02:57Don't wait for my cooking today.
02:59I'm heading to the wholesale market first.
03:00Send me the list of what you ordered, baby.
03:02I'll check what you're missing and fill in the gaps.
03:09Our family will be fine. Stop panicking.
03:12Pack your things properly and head to the airport.
03:14I already placed an order for a batch of supplies.
03:16To avoid drawing attention, I had them delivered to the B1 parking garage around 8 p.m.
03:19When you could be upstairs, be careful not to run into anyone.
03:21Okay, don't worry, sweetie.
03:23Mom will never let anything happen to you.
04:06Mom will never let anything happen to you.
04:32I have to face it.
04:34This 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, four whole chickens.
05:21Still need chicken wings and drum hocks.
05:22Is there anything else you want?
05:23Mom, you're incredible.
05:25Listen.
05:26Remember to buy a solar generator, batteries, and a few more refrigerators.
05:30I'll search for the rest.
05:39Attention 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.
06:16If I throw up now, everyone will notice.
06:23Move the chuy
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.
06:54Okay.
07:04Mom, when will you be back?
07:06My girl's calling. I'll head home now.
07:09I couldn't bargain down the price for these clothes.
07:11I'll check the underground market tomorrow.
07:13Oh my God. Fine, you win. Take 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. No one will notice.
07:30I stashed the rest in the 24th stairwell.
07:32Hardly anyone climbs that high and no one lives above the 20th floor.
07:43Mineral water, toilet rolls, self-heating hot pots,
07:47lime storage barrels,
07:48rainwater collectors, rubbing alcohol.
07:51Everything's here.
07:53Everything's here.
08:20Look at the
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?
08:59What was that?
09:16What was that?
09:35What was that?
09:38What was that?
09:46Movies are just movies.
09:48I can't judge these creatures downstairs based on fictional stories.
09:51The person who was brutally attacked this morning has now turned into one of them.
09:55Judging from this, the virus spreads through saliva and blood.
09:58Right 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
10:0610 where he lives.
10:08That means they hunt relying on hearing and smell.
10:11Honey, let's get some sleep.
10:13We were completely worn out last night.
10:18What's happening?
10:19It's so dark.
10:21It's so dark.
10:22Damn 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.
10:35Wake up.
10:39You have a fever, baby.
10:41Take this medicine and you'll feel better.
10:53The number of zombies between building 10 and building 12 hasn't changed.
10:58Still 11.
10:58It means there are likely no new infected in our community.
11:03I have no idea what sustains them.
11:06They seem to need no food or energy besides human flesh.
11:10Stray 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.
11:28Dad, come quick!
11:37Dad, should we help him?
11:44Help 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.
12:01But how?
12:02The distance between our building and building 14 is nearly 50 meters.
12:06We can't throw it that far.
12:08There's no way we'd risk our lives to deliver it.
12:36If we go into the tunnel,
12:36we lift them up.
12:39We just need the towel.
12:39Oh, my goodness.
12:46Just move away.
13:00Oh, my God.
13:03It's horrifying.
13:17Sweetie, what's wrong?
13:19Mom, Dad, that man downstairs?
13:20He'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.
13:28They made it first down, Lamer's supplies.
13:30We might have been the ones killed tonight.
13:32In this world, even kindness can get you killed.
13:36All right.
13:37Honey, go back to your room and rest.
13:39Margaret, you take over the night watch.
13:41I'll reinforce our fire north, our fire door with extra defenses.
13:48Shit! Shit!
13:57Who says being trapped indoors means we're just waiting to die?
14:15Damn you.
14:17Just 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.
14:47Hi.
14:52You hear me?
14:53You hear me?
14:55You hear me?
15:08You hear me?
15:21I don't know.
15:54I don't know.
16:17I don't know.
16:31I don't know.
16:35I don't know.
17:04I don't know.
17:06I don't know.
17:06Will the buildings collapse after being soaked in rainwater for so long?
17:11It's unlikely.
17:12Flooding mostly shortens a building's lifespan, not bring it down at once.
17:16I don't know.
17:17I don't know.
17:33I don't know.
17:50I can't help if I feel like the zombies are watching them.
17:55The 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.
18:03I don't know.
18:05I don't know.
18:10I don't know.
18:13I don't know.
18:14I don't know.
18:28I don't know.
18:33I don't know.
18:38I don't know.
18:41I don't know.
18:47I don't know.
18:50I don't know.
18:57My love.
18:57As long as we stay together as a family, we'll get through anything.
19:00Based on everything I observed, I've categorized them as stage one, stage two, and stage three.
19:04Stage one zombies are the mindless ones from the early days of the apocalypse.
19:07Stage two are the evolved ones that hunted the survivors today.
19:10Enhanced physical ability with basic primitive intelligence.
19:13Stage three are the intelligent overlords that can command the horde, even capable of showing primitive emotion.
19:19Evolution is only accelerating.
19:21If we don't stop them soon, there will surely be stage four, stage five, and beyond.
19:25This is catastrophic.
19:26We've lost all contact with the government.
19:28We have no idea what has become of the outside world.
19:30We held our breath until the last zombie left the neighborhood, finally able to relax.
19:35Yet overwhelming loneliness washed over me.
19:38The world had grown deathly quiet, leaving only the three of us alive.
19:41You've been down lately.
19:43Go tend to the plants to clear your head.
19:44It feels as if I'm nurturing the last hope for humanity.
19:48Some of the potatoes we stockpiled long ago have sprouted.
19:51I plant them alongside the new vegetables.
19:53I cut out the sprouting the buds, then bury them in soil-filled water bottles.
19:58Once leaves grow in, I dig up the rooted spruits and transplant them into large cardboard boxes, alongside the other
20:05healthy seedlings.
20:06I 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.
20:24How much longer must we endure this cursed world?
20:28I never cared for Christmas pudding.
20:30I wouldn't take a single bite last Christmas.
20:33This year is different, though.
20:35Every ingredient feels incredibly precious.
20:37It has been six months since the zombie outbreak, and we treasure every scrape of food more than ever before.
21:09I have a bad feeling.
21:12The zombies are evolving again.
21:18With explosions this massive, could the military have arrived?
21:44It seems cruelty has become their pastime in this broken world.
21:47With their endless looting, the last traces of ordinary survivors in this community are being erased.
21:51My fingers go numb. I barely have time to mourn the dead.
21:54At this rate, we'll be next by tomorrow.
21:56Once they find the locked stair hall door, there will be no way out for us.
22:03To stay hidden, we can only survive on compressed biscuits today.
22:07No fireplace, no fire at all.
22:09The outsiders clearly know how to fight the undead.
22:11They carry no fear, living carefree in the apocalypse.
22:14Compared their recklessness, our small family is trapped in heavy, suffocating dread.
22:18I run through every possible plan in my head, yet none seem enough to keep us safe.
22:22I refuse to die like this.
22:31Stay safe, sweetie.
22:33I will, dad.
22:52Stay safe, sweetie.
22:53Stay safe, sweetie.
23:04Stay safe, sweetie.
23:05Stay safe.
23:09Stay safe, sweetie.
23:13Stay safe, sweetie.
23:15Thank goodness.
23:17Still works.
23:19Stay safe, sweetie.
23:21Look peace out of my our journey isn't that beautiful unofficaciousist!
23:31It only has a flight time of 23 minutes.
23:34We have to turn back after 7 kilometers.
23:47The zombie horde didn't come.
23:50My plan failed.
23:52It's alright. We'll figure out another way.
23:54I'd hope the noise from the drone would lure the evolved zombies from the city center into our community.
23:58They would fight the intruders, buying us time to find a way to survive.
24:01But I drew nothing. Every one of my guesses was wrong.
24:03The drone needs four hours to fully charge.
24:05We can't fly it again until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
24:07By then, the intruders will have started searching the buildings.
24:10It will be too late.
24:18What I feared has finally come.
24:28Honey, your nose is bleeding.
24:38Have some chocolate.
24:40Sweets are said to boost dopamine and calm you down.
24:47I'll try one last time.
24:49This is my final gamble.
24:51Our last struggle before everything ends.
25:21It seems the three of us are the last surprise.
25:23The two surviving people left in City Q.
25:31Just stay here forever.
25:50We're saved.
25:52We're saved.
25:52We're saved.
26:35I still can't believe it.
26:37Are we truly safe now?
26:38The zombie outbreak was a global catastrophe, and our nation was among the worst-hit regions.
26:42The government has exhausted every resource on rescue and containment.
26:45Here in Q-City, we have eliminated the last remaining undead.
26:48Only three major cities nationwide still await full clearance.
26:51We must accept the heavy consequences this disaster has left behind.
26:55Restoring public trust will not happen overnight.
26:58The explosions you heard in the night were part of Operation PICU,
27:01a joint campaign between military and civilian task forces.
27:05Your drone drew no response from the undead for one simple reason.
27:09There were no zombies left in Q-City.
27:11For half a year, this city has been nothing but an empty dead zone.
27:15Temporary safe havens have been established in every provincial capital.
27:18Most survivors have already been relocated there.
27:21Your community lies far from the city center and was newly developed,
27:24so rescue notifications were delayed.
27:26Thermal scans from military drones mark this area as completely uninhabitated.
27:31We are so sorry.
27:35None of this is your fault.
27:36Your drone's low-altitude controls caught our attention long ago.
27:39We spotted the shaky, blood-written SOS today.
27:42We hesitated, uncertain if it was a genuine plea or an enemy trap.
27:46Refusing to abandon any chance of saving lives,
27:48we tracked the drone back to this complex and waited for the right moment.
27:52I trust you.
27:53I trust it's our country.
28:00Come in.
28:01Warm up with a cup of hot cocoa.
28:06They never imagined anyone could have survived hidden inside this community.
28:11One vicious-looking man fixed me with a cold, vengeful glare.
28:16He may have been plot-rotting retaliation, but none of it mattered anymore.
28:31I hope it heals soon.
28:34Just like all of humanity.
28:35just like,….
