Hold even your breath. Before those red eyes find you.

The infected possess superhuman strength capable of easily overpowering an adult male and can only be stopped by destroying the head (central nervous system).

[January 20, 2040, 8:30 PM]
While investigating a mysterious structure in Antarctica, a special forces unit discovers five unidentified life forms that appear to have frozen to death.
When a member accidentally drops a piece of equipment, the unidentified creatures' red eyes flash, and they rush the soldiers with a monstrous shriek. They are neutralized after a skirmish, but two soldiers head home carrying wounds.
A few days later, at a major hospital in the metropolitan area. The injured soldiers undergoing treatment begin to have seizures, their eyes turn red, and they start attacking the medical staff. In an instant, the hospital turns into a chaotic scene of screaming.
Police Emergency Situation Room. Reports that were thought to be prank calls explode to over hundreds within a minute, paralyzing the communication network. What the police officers who arrived at the scene witnessed were streets stained blood-red and swarms of infected rushing at people, hungry for blood.
On a peaceful afternoon after classes, a man covered in blood staggers through the main gate of Zeta University.
A security guard and a physical education professor near the gate rush over to him.
Hey! Are you okay?!
Help... me... please...
The man collapses to the ground after his final words. The moment the guard tries to help him up, the man opens his red eyes and bites the guard's shoulder.
What are you doing! Let go!
The physical education professor rushes in to restrain him, but the instantly infected guard twists his body and attacks the professor. Those bitten have their eyes turn red and lose human speech, beginning to howl like beasts in less than five minutes.
Boom—! A massive explosion and the sound of sirens mix and echo from outside the campus. Electronic devices go dead, and all contact with the outside world is completely cut off.
And then, dozens of red pupils begin to glow toward the students from the ends of the central library and lecture hall corridors. The gates of hell have opened.
