Katie: “What about the camp fire? You need it to get warm. Maybe set someone to stand sentry. Just one jumper.....”
Galen: “One? One is enough to kill all of us! Thanks god until now, none of us was killed by jumper. We don’t even know how to deal with the dead body.”
Dominic: “Enough, go and change your clothes. You will catch a cold.”
Katie: “Stop putting yourself in danger!”
Galen: “Well, I won’t leave you and children.”

Tony: “Are you fool? The lake is frozen! Boat cannot......”
Thomas: “Then we walk across! Yeah! Oh no! I don’t want to walk anymore.”
Amanda: “It’s dangerous to walk on the ice, dropping down isn’t a good thing.”
Tony: “So, keep on walking along the lake! Come on Thomas, only a few hours walk.”

Emily: “Nancy! Stop persuading me! I told him, meet me in the villa......He must be around here.”
The man: “We don’t mean to depress you but, Emily, maybe, I mean, unfortunately, he......We’ve been searching for weeks!”

The man: “what’s your name? Emily?”
Emily: “Yeah! How could you... You must know where Thomas is! Right?”
The man: “No, sorry, I don’t know where he is now, but I know where he will be if he survived.”
Emily: “What do you mean? Survive?”
The man: “There is a lot of things if you want me to talk...... So, you are his girlfriend? My name’s Frankenstein·Rodriguez, and Thomas is my friend.”
Emily: “God I know it! I know it! He is alive!”
Frankenstein: “Well, if you want to find him, maybe we have to walk a while.”
Barrette: “Why should we trust you!”
Emily: “Barrette! He knows something! He knows Thomas! I will follow him, no matter you do or not!”
Frankenstein: “Hey, big guy, you seem a little bit defensive. If I want to, I can kill you all!”
Barrette: “You can try!”
Nancy: “Alright! Lead the way! If you want to play some tricks.....”
Barrette: “I will rip your head off!”
Emily: “Where shall we go?”
Frankenstein: “A-Lake, I told my people to wait there, if Thomas knows, he will head there.”
Emily: “What happened to you? Why are you separating from each other?”
Frankenstein: “You don’t really want to know, aren’t you... Okay, Let’s begin our trip!”

Yaro: “What can we do? They are all around our wall!”
Armstrong: “Our high-steel wall can hold them, there’s no problem, but it’s hard for us to find supplies outside!”
Volking: “Most of them are frozen, moving slow. Hum... That big guy! No, those! God! We need some grenades to kill them. I will have a trip to the armor room, and by the way tell president this condition.”
Armstrong: “I’m afraid bombing will attract more......”

Armstrong: “Our wall is definitely consolidus! Oder more people to stand sentry! Let’s clean them all.”

Emily: “I need to see him right now!”
Galen: “Wow! I thought you were dead......”
Jennifer: “Thomas told us his girlfriend......”
Emily: “What? What the hell he was talking about?”
Frankenstein: “Anyway, let’s wait for him coming back! I think there must be some misunderstanding.”
Galen: “Come on, we set some barricades around our camp. Welcome to our new shelter!”
Evening, a car drives in the ‘shelter’, two men get down.

Frankenstein: “I told you, those people who caught me, who killed my friends....”
Galen: “What shall we do? Rodris?”
Frankenstein: “Tell everyone, we will leave.”
Frederica: “But we just settle down here?”
Frankenstein: “They will find us and kill us all! We need to find a better place! Galen, sorry to let you do this again but... Find a better place.”
Galen: “...No problem.”
Frankenstein: “And Thomas, Barrette......Amanda, oh god... I just thought Keith......”
Amanda: “It’s okay, Rodris. He is gone. And we will revenge for him.”
Emily: “I’m going with Thomas! I’ll never let you leave again!”
Nancy: “So am I!”
......
Nancy: “I mean, I will go with Barrette.”
Frankenstein: “OK, I respect your choices. The rest, get on the RV, go with Galen.”
Frederica: “Rodris! Get back safely!”
Amanda: “We all will!”
Frankenstein: “How many people there?”
Thomas: “About 6, all armed with weapons.”
Frankenstein: “I’ll go there by myself, just me, I’m sure Alexander wants me alive!”
Barrette: “What are we going to do?”
Frankenstein: “Perhaps cover me. Shoot them in the shadow! Amanda, Barrette and Nancy; Thomas, if possible, get somewhere high, shoot them there.”
Thomas: “What about Tony? How can we save him?”
Frankenstein: “Play it by ear.”

Somewhere in a village, Several men sitting around a campfire, eating some meat.
Black: “Tasty? I said, long time no meat, you guys will miss it! I’ve done this several times before.”
Micheal: “I have to say, if this is not after the end, it will blow my tummy! Never thought I could do some cannibalism!”
A man: “So you regret?”
Micheal: “On the contrary! I feel excited! Ha ha!”
Tony wakes up gradually, feeling suddenly pain on his leg, hearing same laugh long time ago. He looks down immediately, finds out that some part of his left leg, was gone, the bone appears out. He falls into unconsciousness.
Black: “I know this guy, ran away from our mouth, now I have him. He was with Frankenstein! I’m sure, they will be back to save him!”
Micheal: “How many are they?”
Black: “Who knows, many of them were already killed.”
“You want me and now here I am!” Frankenstein walks to them from the shadow, “Let him go!”
Black: “Frankenstein! Ah... It’s funny! We met again in the same circumstance! Ha ha... Do you remember Blight!!!”
Frankenstein: “He deserved! And I should ask you about Sean! What did you do to them?”
Black: “Fuck him! Now I just want to cut your damn head and throw it in the pot!”
Micheal: “Calm down Black! Forget what I told ya? Get back! ......Okay, Mr.Frankenstein, where are your people? Ha? I don’t think you will get here alone aren’t you?”
Those men behind Micheal all hold their guns towards Frankenstein.
Frankenstein: “Yeah, you are clever, but unfortunately, they already point their gun towards each head of you motherfuckers! Now let Tony go and we
can talk!”
Micheal looks around: “Hen, you mean you won’t go with me? That’s bad! How can I reply president? And how can I know whether you have anyone in the shadow or not?”
Frankenstein: “We’ll see...”
Black grabs his pistol slightly, however noticed by Frankenstein. While Black puts up his pistol, Frankenstein jumps behind a wall suddenly.
Black(Pull the trigger): “Fuck you!”
Bang---Bang! Micheal: “Hey! Hold him!”
Bang bang bang!!! Gunshots fills this camp. Two of EC’s people were shot precisely in the head.

Frankenstein: “Now!”
Barrette, Amanda, Nancy hold their weapons and run towards them. Frankenstein grabs out his gun and points towards Micheal: “I said, we can talk, but you don’t listen to me. I’m sorry.”
Amanda: “You guys can try to fight back! But we have another sniper! At somewhere you don’t know! Try to move a little bit! You will result in death like those two!”
Nancy paces towards Tony and unties the rope on his arms.
Nancy: “Come I hold you, let’s go to the car.”
Micheal: “What you want to do to us? If you try to kill any of us? President will blow your carcasses all!”
Frankenstein: “Don’t be so sanguinary! Come on! Remember how you treated my people? In termination? How you killed them? I’m just doing what I’m supposed to!”
Black: “Fuck you Frankenstein!” He struggles to his feet and shoot towards Frankenstein. Bang! Bang!
A bullet flies in Frankenstein’s shoulder.
Amanda: “Rodris!!!”
Micheal and their people take the chance to stand up and shoot. Barrette swings his sub-machine gun, and Thomas, on the top of a church, hold his sniper gun and shoot.
All of a sudden, a wall behind ECs crashes down, a huge, strong muscled walker breaks in and swings its huge fists, throwing several ECs away.
Howling~~~ Bang---Bang Bang! Gunshots!
Thomas: “What the hell?!!!”
A huge stone drops on Frankenstein’s leg: “Ah!!!!”
Amanda: “Rodris! Are you okay?”
Frankenstein: “ Run! Don’t stop! Shoot! Run!”
Barrette: “Run! Fuck! We can’t beat it! Run!!!”
A huge group of walkers and jumpers run towards them, thousands of walkers. Tearing ECs apart.
Micheal: “No!!! Fuck!!!” He shots the last bullet towards his own head, end his life.
Black: “Fuck you! Come on!”
Peng!!! The monster swings its arm right on Black, blowing him meters away.
