(picture is not mine obvi)
Anyway, we last left off with Cross Gene arguing on whether or not they should focus on their new song or get to a possible sanctuary. They have a ridiculous riddle to decode before they can find the sanctuary.
Some unidentified amount of time after Seyoung leaves Youngseok outside, Cross Gene goes to sleep. Okay, they sleep. Good to know. Interestingly, none of them even try to sleep in a comfortable place or use anything resembling pillows or blankets; they just sleep right on the floor, like babies/little kids do (I used to like sleeping under tables. The carpet was just soft enough.)
The next day (I assume it's the next day), they go into a building that resembles a cross between the museum in BTS's Blood Sweat and Tears MV and the mall where Jonnie and those other guys get ambushed by the Psychlos in Battlefield Earth. It's littered with the ubiquitous paper trash that is used in post-apocalyptic movies to make places look Desolate and Empty (I'm looking at you, 28 Days Later).

They sneak around with their guns, like they're expecting an ambush of bloodthirsty vampire bats or something (they keep looking up). Seyoung says they need to find ammunition.
...Interesting place to look for ammunition, isn't it? Next time, I suggest a Walmart or a gun store (wait, are there Walmarts in China or wherever the heck this is supposed to be set?) Casper suggests they split up, and Shin and Takuya go with him. Going up the stairs, Casper and Takuya have another mini-argument regarding music or survival. Seyoung's group (him, Sangmin, and Youngseok) goes into a hallway lined with jail cells [??]. So...is this a courthouse?? I seriously doubt a regular jail would have such an elaborate entrance. Youngseok muses that the place looks familiar, and Sangmin wonders what happened to the dude who framed them. Good, at least there's *some* explanation as to why they got sent to jail. Seyoung and Youngseok say that maybe he's a zombie if karma came back to bite him in the butt.
Somehow, Sangmin makes the logical leap from "bad guy might be zombie" to "everyone who's a zombie must have done something bad." [?] I'd just assume he was a zombie, because, you know, *most* people are zombies now (in the movie. not in the real world). Sangmin feels sorry for the kids that have to be zombies too. (Don't they turn into zombies because someone bites them, not because they did something bad?) Seyoung says that they can't save them, since they aren't doctors or scientists. Well, not with that attitude you can't. Sangmin and Youngseok reminisce about a dude in prison who wrote with his hips [?]. They start wiggling their hips and yelling, while Seyoung unsuccessfully tries to shush them.
Meanwhile, Casper, Shin, and Takuya are arguing over which canned food is best. Shin says Spam (obligatory link to the Monty Python skit), Casper, scallops (yummmm), and Takuya, tuna (blegh). Shin says that scallops stink (what is with ur nose dude? Tuna STINKS). Casper points this out, just as they hear something up ahead. They instantly aim their guns at the hallway in front of them. After a while, a girl peeks out of one of the doorways. They wonder if she's a zombie or not, as some zombies charge at them from a hallway perpendicular to theirs.
Apparently, they have No Peripheral Vision (and they're slightly deaf), but Casper notices the undead horde charging at them just in time and starts shooting. Seyoung hears the shots and runs off, Sangmin and Youngseok following. In an office (seriously, what kind of building has a museum entrance, a Von-Trapp-esque staircase, jail cells, AND offices?), Casper's group has taken refuge behind some desks, while a few zombies shuffle around looking for them. Casper has run out of ammo (way to go, buddy), so Takuya gives him some. Shin looks at his belt, mutters that they need to save the girl, and runs off.
The girl (who's around 10-12, maybe) runs out of the building, Shin following her silently. He chases her down some fire-escape-like stairs in to something that resembles an alley. Hey, dude, how about saying that you're here to help instead of chasing her like some predator? She stops in a corner, next to a conspicuously open window. Shin catches up to her, yelling that they need to leave before the zombies get there. She just hugs an ugly blue bear and stands there.
Shin and Casper both grab at her and try to make her come with them. Takuya tells them to chill and adopts a gentler but slower approach. Seriously, the three of them could probably grab her and drag her off...it's better than being chewed to jerky by a bunch of white American extras in runny makeup and rubber masks. Takuya holds out a chocolate bar and coaxes her forward with it. Good man. Chocolate is the way to a woman's heart.
Except for those freaks who don't like chocolate because it's too bitter for them.
Suddenly, a zombie comes out of the open window. Takuya shoves the girl back towards Casper and Shin, and the zombie starts gnawing on his neck.

Even though he's literally a few feet away, Casper is reluctant to shoot the zombie because he's afraid of hitting Takuya. Seyoung, standing quite a ways away on the stairs leading to the rooftop or alley or wherever the heck Casper/Shin/Takuya/Girl/Zombie are, shoots it instead. Horrified, Shin puts his hands on Takuya's neck to stop the blood. Yeah, Shin is totally upset. Now he won't be able to blow on Takuya's neck anymore.
Takuya says to kill him before he turns into a zombie. Shin is like "Aw, heck no, bro!" and opens his eyes INCREDIBLY WIDE--wider than IU's even. Shin starts screaming and crying that they totally can't kill Takuya and overacts horribly. That's kind of strange; he seemed like a fairly good actor in Big and Bachelor Vegetable Store. A whiny, bratty, ditzy, spoiled actor nonetheless, but still better than the crazy-eyed screaming beast that he is in Zedd. Seyoung points his gun at Takuya, preparing to put a bullet in his brain, and Shin screams and cries even more.
