It's bitingly cold!

Regarding a movie with emptyness as a gimmick, I didn't expect it to bring me so many feelings. It can be said that it is a social film with a zombie film to discuss the direction of human development.
In the first half of the film, human beings seek a bleak future in a deserted city. An electronic signal repeated from other people can arouse countless hopes. This seems to be a busy and impetuous person crowded in modern society. How ridiculous. But when we are really facing extinction, is this still ridiculous?
The countless records chased by zombies in the film are lacklustre, but in the end when humans kill each other for their own desires (sexuality, power), the shocking tragedy is hard to express in words. When the male owner put his thumb in the eyes of another person, it was not just the person who was about to die, but the entire human race.
I can understand why the film ends with "HELLO" in the picturesque countryside to end this depressing story. This is a breathable window opened by the director for the audience. Although it is not big, it is better than nothing.
Compared with "The Day After Day", this film is closer to the real development trend.
Of course, there are still a few things that I can't figure out:
1. A large number of people died in the film, but some of the infected are still alive. Autumn did not commit any crimes and only attacked normal people. In the tunnel, the four were besieged by zombies. When they drove away, the zombies calmed down immediately, and there was no dispute with each other. If this is the case, where are there dead people? Isn’t it all right if everyone becomes a zombie?
2. In the later stage of JIM's supernatural powers, can't you get better if you lose your temper?
