Summary
As two other survivors, Saya Takagi and Kohta Hirano, try to avoid the zombies, Rei tries to contact her father, who tells her the city is in complete chaos before being cut off. Meanwhile, kendo club president Saeko Busujima saves the big boobed but naive, Shizuka Marikawa, but fails to save Kazu Isshi. Kohta manages to piece together a nailgun, while zombies break in.

Meanwhile Takashi and Rei manage to stop the zombies on their end with water. As Kohta runs out of ammo and Saya starts to crack under the pressure, the other survivors join them to take out the zombies. As they make plans to journey to each of their houses to check on the safety of their families, they learn that the outbreak is much worse than they thought.
