The night sky becomes the background for conveying the news of a tragedy.
Of course, without any other trouble, Siad's wooden boat was able to reach back home, the small island.
After harboring his boat perfectly, Siad just walked to the prayer room like a zombie, which means soulless. He just sits kneeling there and prays deeply. They know Siad is grieving.
Ojnay becomes the moderator to inform the civilians there about the tragedy. The family of the three crew members who are captured by the infected of course crying to hear the news.
The mother even falls to the sandy ground to cry, she just lost her lovely son.
Rory, Qunn, and especially Yeum Bi don't know what to do. Some part of them feel guilty for what happened. They even can't speak their mind because they witnessed, even Siad must throw his own younger brother to death because of the incident. But in fact, Ros is still missing in the jungle, hopefully, she is still not captured yet. What must they do? There is nothing they can do besides stand submissively and look to the ground.
But their tragedy does not stop until there. Suddenly...
"Yaat... Yaat... This is Mion. Copy."
"MION! Where are you? Are you and the biologist OK?" Yaat was startled and answered that call right away.
But what they hear next is the sound of the distanced crowd growling and the sound of something banging many times!
"Ssssst... Be quiet..." Mion whispered.
"OMG. What is happening?" Yaat whispered right away.
"What is going on here?" Suddenly Gerald shows up and asks.
"Sssst! Be quiet, listen..." Rory closed Gerald's mouth and dragged him to listen also.
"We are compromised and cornered until the steel factory, you know the electricity post of this steel factory, right? Now we lock ourselves in there. They are out there, everywhere, the infected. Please help!" Mion said.
"Where is Ros?" Gerald asked after he observed the situation.
"She still out there, in the jungle. Suddenly the infected showed up, they scattered us to run in different directions." Yeum Bi gives the direct answer.
"WHAT! We must go back there! How come Ros survives alone in the jungle pursued by the infected?! Come on, let's go, help her!" Gerald said in a panic.
"Hey! I heard that! Sayaka also heard that, well, her face became not... Well, I think this is the first time she is in this kind of situation, she looks so scared, please help us." Mion said.
Qunn just pulls Gerald away from the crowd and tries to explain everything to Gerald. Especially the case of Siad must throw his brother to death. In fact, they are staying on their island, and their only hope is Siad's boat.
