Fearing he was bitten, Sam nearly kills himself a second time when he falls asleep with the shotgun placed beneath his head while waiting to see if he would turn.Īs winter approaches, he is forced to contend with a lack of heat, and the water supply to the apartment building stops working. He makes it back to the apartment enraged, Sam shoots the cat from the window. Desperate for company, he attempts to capture a stray cat wandering aimlessly among the undead, but is nearly killed by several zombies. As time passes, Sam becomes increasingly lonely and unhinged. He rations these and discovers musical equipment in one room, which he uses to entertain himself. Sam successfully raids the building for a large quantity of supplies. He finds a zombified elderly man in the building's lift, binds the gate up, and begins conversing one-sidedly with the zombie whose name he learns is Alfred. Sam explores the building's units one by one, finding most of them empty. He quickly closes the doors to the building to seal himself inside. He retrieves their shotgun and ventures outside, finding the zombies in the stairway gone.

Looking through the hole, he discovers that one of the residents below has committed suicide, after killing his wife, who he had bound to a chair after she became infected. Unable to leave the apartment, Sam begins cleaning up until a shotgun blast erupts through the floor. They are also completely silent, making almost no noise and never vocalizing. The zombies have seemingly taken over all of Paris, are very fast moving, and respond in hordes to any sight or sound. The apartment, which is several stories up, is the only safe location that Sam can find. Locking himself in her apartment, he witnesses the death of a family from the apartment across the street who attempt to escape in their car. He ventures into the stairway and discovers a zombified Fanny who charges at him when he calls her name. The next morning, Sam wakes to find the apartment trashed, with blood stains on the walls and no one inside. Sounds of chaos erupt outside the door of the office, but Sam sleeps through it. Once there, his nose starts to bleed and he passes out. Sam is accidentally bumped by a partygoer on his way to the tapes. Fanny is holding a party and brushes Sam off multiple times before telling him the tapes are in the office.
