Plot[]
Min Eun-ji walks across the field, seeing her former bullies - students and teachers alike - staggering around as zombies. She looks back at the school, remembering the abuse she suffered, then turns and runs back towards the main building. She goes through the teachers' office, finding lighters and anything flammable she can get out of the drawers to set it all on fire.
On the roof, Kim Cheol-soo lies to the soldiers and tells them that he is the only survivor. The soldiers cannot hear the students inside the fire escape banging on the door over the noise of the helicopter, and take Cheol-soo with them, alone.
Inside, Yoon Gwi-nam attacks Lee Cheong-san and Lee Su-hyeok. Choi Nam-ra becomes enraged and begins to show symptoms of zombiism around her left eye again. She grabs Gwi-nam by the neck, pulling him off Cheong-san and throwing him down the stairs. As Eun-ji sets fire to the teachers' office downstairs, the school fire alarm goes off and automatically unlocks the door to the roof, allowing the students to escape. They try to get the army helicopter's attention, but are too late and are forced to watch it leave without them. Believing that she has successfully burned down the school, Eun-ji cycles away into the city.
Jang Ha-ri and Park Mi-jin also watch the helicopter leave. Mi-jin argues that they should go to the archery center roof to catch the attention of any other rescue teams that arrive, On the roof of the main building, the Hyosan School Group constructs a new, bigger SOS sign.
Back in the city, So-ju reaches an abandoned shop and marks up a map to Hyosan High School. At the kindergarten, Song Jae-ik uses scrap wood and tape to make a brace for Orangibberish's leg. He asks Orangibberish why he's in Hyosan, and when the vlogger says he came to shoot a livestream, Jae-ik hits him round the head and berates him for his stupidity. Orangibberish defends himself, saying he just wanted to find out the truth and offering to 'cancel' Jeon Ho-chul on his channel for leaving them behind. Jae-ik ignores him and tries to experiment with throwing some of the buckets on the roof to lure the zombies away from them.
Just then, Ho-chul reappears, driving the kindergarten's van with the two children in the back. Jae-ik and Orangibberish jump onto the van's roof and cling to it and each other as Ho-chul drives away. Later, they hit a cyclist, who turns out to be Eun-ji. Not realizing she is a halfbie, Jae-ik goes out to check on her, and protects her with his body when an army troop appears and points their guns at them. The group is taken to the quarantine camp together.
In the archery center, Ha-ri teaches Mi-jin how to shoot, and the pair discuss their futures. The students on the roof finish their SOS sign and gather around a campfire for warmth, singing and sharing secrets about themselves. Gwi-nam reanimates again and starts heading for the roof.
Lee Na-yeon goes into the music room and blocks the piano zombie's feet from hitting the keys, then picks up the music room camera and retreats to the storage cupboard to watch her classmates' videos. She picks up a bag of food to take to them, but then hallucinates Han Gyeong-su and remembers how the others accused her of his murder, at which point she throws the food on the floor.
At this point she remembers being chased by a zombie she misremembers as Gyeong-su after she left the room, and how their teacher, Park Sun-hwa, sacrificed herself to save her and locked her in the music room. In the memory, Sun-hwa apologizes for cornering her, telling her to stay alive and do at least one thing to help her classmates as a sobbing Na-yeon watches her before disappearing around the corner. On remembering this, Na-yeon collects the food she'd thrown and goes out to the music room, intending to take it up to the roof for her classmates. Gwi-nam finds her as she leaves the storage cupboard, and kills and eats her before climbing out the window and finding a pipe that leads to the roof.
Cheong-san talks to On-jo in private and asks if she ever liked him as more than a friend. On-jo asks him to leave and curls up by the wall alone, crying. After a while, she looks up and sees Gwi-nam, who vaults over the wall and pushes her to the ground. He attacks Cheong-san, pinning him to the floor and pressing his thumb against his eye to gouge it out.

- In the webtoon, the stairway was blocked by a gate, which the group forced open, and while banging on the doors to the roof after seeing signs of other people having already been there, are opened up by Ha-ri who is with Mi-jin after Min-jae sacrificed himself by restraining a zombified Mr. Kang.
- when Dae-su asks On-jo what S.O.S means, she says it doesn't mean anything, just a symbol for help. This is incorrect as S.O.S stands for Save Our Ship/Souls.
