The zombie apocalypse erupted. Former firefighter Derek was betrayed by his trusted captain Vince, who threw him into the horde as bait. He died in agony, only to wake up days before the disaster—sent back seventy-two hours in time. Haunted by his painful past life, Derek stockpiled supplies, modified vehicles and fortified a church. He saved Lily and Tom, two souls doomed to die before. With foresight, he led the group through brutal battles, surviving fire barricades, gas station blasts and narrow supermarket fights. Vince also rose in the apocalypse, building a brutal armed gang under the guise of protection. He raided and destroyed the church overnight. Tom sacrificed himself, and Lily was severely injured. Broken and defeated, Derek hit rock bottom. No longer fighting merely for revenge, he set a deadly trap. Using the zombies’ sensitivity to sound, he lured the horde to Vince’s camp with high-frequency alarms. Amid flames and corpses, Derek killed the traitor with his own hands. As the smoke cleared, he drove north with Lily and the survivors. A faint military signal came from the radio. Staring at the ruins in the rearview mirror, Derek smiled for the first time since his rebirth.
