Chang and Mu-yeong went to Frozen Valley and found a woman, Seo-bi, inside of a cave. She attempted to explain what had happened to the people of Jiyulheon and warned them not to move the bodies. One of the other survivors of the Jiyulheon incident ran to the magistrate’s office and begged them to burn the corpses. But, the magistrate arrested him and ignored his claims that the corpses would awaken and attack people. Back in Frozen Valley, Chang decided to go with Seo-bi to the magistrate’s office and explain what happened in Jiyulheon. Chang returned to Jiyulheon to find evidence of Seo-bi’s claims, but he was attacked by the leader of the Haewon Cho Clan. Back with the magistrate, Seo-bi arrived and testified that the people of Jiyulheon would attack when night fell. Sundown came, the zombies awoke and the magistrate’s office was decimated. In Jiyulheon, Chang managed to escape after everyone else was killed by a zombie that had remained in the village. Chang walked out of Jiyulheong and saw the magistrate’s office was burning.
