After passing the university entrance exam, Liu takes a book to read about the infinite possibilities of the future. Unable to contact the person he called, Liu tells a nearby friend that he is taking his car and will return tomorrow night with a full tank of gas. After driving home, Liu is horrified to see a reanimated human and thinks this must be a dream. Trembling, he escapes the zombie by running back upstairs, holding the door shut, and then grabbing an axe. Considering how the news reports that the world is fine, Liu thinks that this means that only he is crazy. Faced with another zombie, Liu resorts to telling it to die while wielding the axe against it. Liu escapes in his vehicle, but not before he turns into a zombie.

With the zombie outbreak, he comes across Liu and kicks a zombie away before joining him in his truck. Meng notes that no one answered Liu's phone or the one at home. They were both born in the same hospital, grew up together, and went to the same schools. They were supposed to be at the same university, but Meng missed the day of the university exams. His father is an officer in the army, and Meng's mother left when he was younger. Worried that Liu might have an accident, Meng asks where they are going, but is against going to the hospital. Asking where Liu thinks the infection came from, he is worried about the danger and that Meng will die. Regardless, Liu tells Meng not to be so hasty and that he will go with him.

Story[]

Liu Yan is asked by a girl if he knows that his classmate Meng Feng is in the army. Liu gets feedback on his work and receives a phone call from 'MA'. The news reports an outbreak of rabies in the city over the summer. Government officials are advising people to stay home and wait until a vaccine is developed. They have quarantined communities and evacuated people who live downtown, and subway service has been temporarily suspended. On the phone, Liu is told that the person he is calling is temporarily unavailable.[1]

Liu tells a friend that he will take his car, and by 6:20 p.m., as Liu travels along the highway, it is reported that the city's rabies is under preliminary control. However, the government asks all residents outside the city not to return yet, as one highway lane is clogged with vehicles leaving the city, but Liu travels toward the city. When he contacted MA, he was told not to come home and to listen to his mother. Asking what happened at home, Liu asks where MA is. MA stares out of a window covered in blood-stained handprints and tells Liu that Mom loves him. Liu arrives at his empty house and hears a noise.[2] With a power outage, Liu heads into the corridors to see an undead policeman.[3]

Fleeing from the zombie, Liu finds a fireman's axe before returning to his vehicle. There, Liu sees another zombie that notices him and he cuts its neck with the axe. Liu reaches his car to drive away from the other zombies. With Meng calling Liu, he replies that he is unsure what road he is on before seeing Meng running across the road. Together, they recount Meng and Liu's childhood connection, where their paths only parted when Meng missed the day of college exams. They both want to reach the hospital where Liu's mother is.
