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.
00:22Is 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 to renew, 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.
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?
02:35Sweetie, 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.
02:40The city is locking down at 8am 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.
02:52Who would we trust if not you?
02:56Stocking up, right?
02:57Don't wait for my cooking today. I'm heading to the wholesale market first.
03:00Send me the list of what you ordered, baby. I'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 8pm.
03:19When 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.
03:25Whoa.
03:32OK.
03:34Oh
03:35What?
03:41OK.
03:41I don't know.
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 chicken.
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.
05:38Attention all passengers bound for city queue.
05:42This flight is about to depart.
05:50Hold on.
05:51If I throw up now, everyone will notice.
06:02I don't know.
06:32Honey, we can't.
06:33We 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.
07:09I 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 stashed the rest in the 24th stair hall.
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, rainwater collectors, rubbing alcohol.
07:51Everything's here.
08:15I don't know.
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?
09:13What was that?
09:14Oh, my God.
09:15I don't know.
09:17Oh.
09:17Oh, my God.
09:46Movies are just movies.
09:48I 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.
09:58Right 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.
10:14We were completely worn out last night.
10:18What's happening?
10:19It's so dark.
10:21Damn it.
10:22The stench of rotten iron is thick enough to choke on.
10:27I remember these eyes.
10:29I 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.
12:23We can't under a gate.
12:25No!
12:25No!
12:26No!
12:27No!
12:29No!
12:30No!
12:32No!
12:34No!
12:34No!
12:34No!
12:35No!
12:39No!
12:43No!
13:00Oh my god, it's horrifying.
13:17Sweetie, what's wrong?
13:19Mom, 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.
13:28They made it in first down, lame her supplies.
13:30We might have been the ones killed tonight.
13:32In this world, even kindness can get you killed.
13:36Alright, honey, go back to your room and rest.
13:40Margaret, you take over the night watch.
13:41I'll reinforce our fire north, our fire door with extra defenses.
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.
14:30The 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?
14:54You hear me?
15:10See you.
15:38I don't know.
15:54I don't know.
16:12That was why I never let my parents get involved.
16:14Do 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 is the cruelest thing a parent can endure.
16:24Have you ever thought?
16:25Two people begged for supplies that day.
16:27Where is the other one?
16:28Could he be hiding on the 14th floor, waiting to ambush you?
16:32I... I never considered that.
16:35Baby, beyond being your family, you need to learn to trust and cooperate with others.
16:41We are not burdens.
16:42We survive this together.
16:50Thirteen people went out to search for supplies, but only five actually made it back.
16:56A severe two-day rainstorm hit one night in September.
17:00It completely submerged the first floor and hit the second floor in imminent danger.
17:07Will 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.
17:36Flooding mostly shortens a building's lifespan, not bring it down at once.
17:50Flooding mostly shortens a building's lifespan, not bring it down at once.
17:51I can't help you feel like the zombies are watching them.
17:55The supplies they brought back this 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.
18:03Right behind us.
18:10Go ahead.
18:11We got that.
18:12We got that.
18:13We want that.
18:15We got that.
18:16What is it?
18:18Boom, boom.
18:20Boom, boom.
18:22Boom, boom, boom.
18:25White'午後, wish it a little bit better.
18:27Go out.
18:29Boom, boom.
18:30Boom, boom, boom.
18:33Boom, boom, boom.
18:37Damn it.
18:38The thick, sickening stench of blood hangs in the air,
18:41and I feel like I'm drowning in it.
18:47Oh, my God!
18:48It's an intelligent variant!
18:50The zombies downstairs have evolved,
18:52and they've spawned a leader!
18:54This is terrible.
18:55Will we even survive?
18:56Don't be afraid, my love.
18:57As long as we stay together as a family,
18:59we'll get through anything.
19:00Based on everything I observed,
19:01I've categorized them as stage one,
19:03stage two, and stage three.
19:04Stage one zombies are the mindless ones
19:06from the early days of the apocalypse.
19:07Stage two are the evolved ones
19:09that hunted the survivors today,
19:10enhanced physical ability
19:11with basic primitive intelligence.
19:13Stage three are the intelligent overlords
19:15that can command the horde,
19:17even capable of showing primitive emotion.
19:19Evolution is only accelerating.
19:21If we don't stop them soon,
19:22there will surely be stage four,
19:23stage 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
19:32left the neighborhood,
19:33finally able to relax.
19:35Yet overwhelming loneliness washed over me.
19:38The world had grown deathly quiet,
19:40leaving only the three of us alive.
19:42You've been down lately.
19:43Go tend to the plants to clear your head.
19:45It feels as if I'm nurturing
19:46the last hope for humanity.
19:48Some of the potatoes we stockpiled long ago
19:50have sprouted.
19:51I plant them alongside the new vegetables.
19:54I cut out the sprouting the buds,
19:55then bury them in soil-filled water bottles.
19:58Once leaves grow in,
19:59I dig up the rooted spruits
20:01and transplant them into large cardboard boxes
20:04alongside the other healthy seedlings.
20:06I fertilize the crops every 20 days.
20:08I snip off all beading flowers
20:10to stop the plants
20:11for wasting nutrients and withering.
20:17Even on such a sacred holiday,
20:19we can only celebrate
20:21in the simplest, saddest way.
20:24How much longer must we endure
20:26this 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
20:39since the zombie outbreak,
20:40and we treasure every scrape of food
20:42more than ever before.
21:09I have a bad feeling.
21:12The zombies are evolving again.
21:17With explosions this massive,
21:20could the military have arrived?
21:44It seems cruelty has become their pastime
21:46in this broken world.
21:47With their endless looting,
21:48the last traces of ordinary survivors
21:49in this community are being erased.
21:51My fingers go numb.
21:52I barely have time to mourn the dead.
21:54At this rate,
21:55we'll be next by tomorrow.
21:56Once they find the locked stair hall door,
21:58there will be no way out for us.
22:03To stay hidden,
22:04we can only survive
22:05on compressed biscuits today.
22:07No fireplace,
22:08no fire at all.
22:09The outsiders clearly know
22:10how to fight the undead.
22:11They carry no fear,
22:13living carefree in the apocalypse.
22:14Compared their recklessness,
22:16our small family is trapped
22:17in heavy, suffocating dread.
22:18I run through every possible plan
22:20in my head,
22:20yet none seem enough
22:21to keep us safe.
22:22I refuse to die like this.
22:31Stay safe, sweetie.
22:33I will, dad.
22:35I will, dad.
22:40I will, dad.
22:42I will, dad.
22:45Oh, my God.
23:16Thank goodness.
23:17It still works.
23:32It only has a flight time of 23 minutes.
23:34We have to turn back after 7 kilometers.
23:48The zombie horde didn't come.
23:50My plan failed.
23:52It's all right.
23:53We'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.
24:02Every 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.
24:19What I feared has finally come.
24:28Honey, your nose isn't leaving me.
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 survivors.
25:23people left in City Q.
25:31Just stay here forever.
25:51We're saved.
25:53We're saved.
25:57We're saved.
26:02We're on the pec фильм.
26:11We're saved.
26:13We're saved.
26:16We'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.
26:43The 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.
27:19Most survivors have already been relocated there.
27:21Your community lies far from the city center and was newly developed, so 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.
27:37Your drone's low-altitude patrols 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.
28:35.
28:36.
28:36.
