대통령
W..what?!?!! Biting a person?? What does that mean??!
연구소장
Yes... the patient complained of abdominal pain and hunger... and then attacked our researcher.
대통령
Sigh... So what do you want me to do?
연구소장
The words of the researcher who witnessed the patient and the bitten researcher... are not normal.
대통령
What's the problem with that?
연구소장
Ah..yeah, that's the patient who complained of abdominal pain, then his skin started melting and dripping, his pupils turned white, he couldn't speak, and he became aggressive...like a zombie...
대통령
Huh?! Does that make sense now? Is this some kind of fantasy world??? Zombies, you're making sense!
연구소장
Ah!... No, I... We're also looking into it right now...
대통령
Ha....Okay. Just go and get some solid information.
연구소장
Yeah? We need to let the public know about this...
대통령
(Putting the desk down) Be quiet!!!! Telling the public now won't do any good. Go do your research.
연구소장
N..yes...
앵커
Breaking news!! The number of Z-15 infected people has now exceeded 100... 400... 700!! Citizens, please be careful...
Chijijik... bark

비서
All right.
연구소장
That... That's why I told you to let the people know in advance...
대통령
No, how could I have known it would turn out like this?! Come up with a plan to deal with them right now!
연구소장
Aren't we also... researching?!
연구소장

비서
The meeting has been called. Let's go.
대통령
Okay, you should go and get the research results quickly.
연구소장
No... Mr. President... listen to what people say...
BANG.. (The door slammed shut so hard it felt like it was going to fall off)
연구소장
Damn... (What do you want me to do?)
연구소장
(He doesn't care about the people because he's afraid his votes will drop, and he's not a president...) Just wait and see...
앵커
Breaking news... We've received reports that people who look like corpses are attacking downtown Seoul..!
앵커
Ah... it turns out that person is infected with 'Z-15'...??!?!... The infected person is said to be indiscriminately attacking people on the streets. Citizens, please refrain from going outside.
It's been six years since 'Z-15' was released... A lot has changed in that time...
When the president was facing impeachment, the government joined forces with the military to erect a wall, dividing people into three categories: flowers, stems, and roots.
The government was conducting secret experiments in laboratories for the war effort.
Because it was an experiment on humans, it was kept even more secret.
They called the successful subjects 'petals'.
So, five people successfully bloomed, but two went missing, and one died in an accident during the experiment, so now only two remain.
