They run away from the city together, but Hiromi Hayakari has been already bitten by a baby ZQN. The baby ZQN that bit her did not have teeth and Hiromi is in half state of ZQN. They then meet Nurse Yabu (Masami Nagasawa) at a shelter. Yabu hopes she can draw an antibody from Hiromi Hayakari.

Hanane Nov 21 2020 6:18 pm Does anyone know who played that ZQN athlete?

Ryu Samuël Oct 19 2020 11:34 am Tuk Poon: this is way better than Train to busan.

Tuk Poon Jul 20 2020 3:02 am Unlike train to Busan, a manga drawer with a shotgun, and does not use it with a little gut. The scenes were awful, running and stopping to capture those moments are terrible. It should not make it obvious as no one will stay to see will happen. People die running around but he is fine just pausing every 10 seconds.

V Aug 03 2018 8:32 am The movie did not show that they discovered the antibody to that high school girl. What will happen to them tho? It is not like they've killed everyone who got zqn????
