Chapter 4
Han So Hee's heart pounded in her chest as she sprinted toward the wall, her eyes fixed on the crowd of people scrambling to climb it. Ahead of her, a man was helping people over the wall, offering his hand to pull them up. She waited for others to climb as she helped them to push back the zombies.
There were 2 more people ahead of her trying to climb.
There's still a chance, she thought.
I just need to reach him, she told herself, ignoring the panicked growls of the zombies increasing in number and getting closer to her.
As she neared the wall, she stretched out her hand along with the other two people still trying to climb, desperation filling her voice.
"Please! Help me, too!"
The man, Kim Yeon, glanced at her for a brief second before his eyes widened in horror. Behind her, a massive horde of zombies was closing in fast. His face paled, trying to pull up as many as he can and he did. He pulled two other to safety but ...

She was the only one left now ...
It will be too late,
he thought, and without a word, he pulled his hand back and disappeared behind the wall himself.
"Wait!" So Hee shouted, panic flooding her. But it was too late.
So Hee whipped around and saw the approaching wave of undead.
I can't go this way,
she realized, her pulse racing.
Without thinking, she bolted in another direction, her feet pounding the ground as she looked for any place to hide. She could hear the moaning of the zombies growing louder, but somehow, she managed to slip out of their sight and duck into an abandoned building through a broken window.
Her breath came in ragged gasps as she pressed her back against the cold wall, clutching her gun tightly.
I'll survive,
she told herself, trying to control her fear.
.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, Kim Yeon and the group of survivors were still running, trying to put as much distance between themselves and the zombies as possible. His sister, Kim Yuri, ran beside him, her face streaked with dirt and fear.
"We have to keep going!" Kim Yeon shouted to her, his voice strained from the effort of running.
