* And all of this carnage, slaughter and depravity happened in ''one'' country and in ''one day.'' If one of the President's top brass can get infected, who's to say that the Alvin Virus won't spread to mainland China? Or Japan? Or the United States? Or the rest of the world? And what would happen if the infection spread to people in charge of extremely sensitive information, like nuclear launch codes? What happened in Taiwan may be the fate of the entire human race...

* One of the hospital workers saying that a little girl was ''burned alive'' by one of the infected.
* The President of Taiwan attempts to make a statement on an emergency broadcast, only for one of his aides to stuff a live grenade in his mouth. Revealing the real extent of just how utterly ''fucked'' the country is. And then The Businessman shows up…

* The President of Taiwan attempts to make a statement on an emergency broadcast, only for one of his aides to stuff a live grenade in his mouth, to predictable results. It only serves to highlight to the people in the hospital the sheer level of fucked everyone is. Then The Businessman shows up…
* A wheelchair bound Molly gets infected when The Businessman ''rapes her [[EyeScream eye socket]].'' Then, she happily carves up several survivors while sporting one hell of a SlasherSmile.

** Less justifiably, Kat discovers that Wong injected one of them ''with the Alvin Virus '' so that he could always have a fresh supply for testing. He then injects Kat with it to see if she’s immune. He then kills the infected baby…

* Right after Jim hears that announcement, his neighbor ambushes him with a pair of hedgeclippers and casually chews on his [[{Fingore}} severed fingers]], happily informing Jim that he'll be the one pleasuring his girlfriend from now on. ''Brrrr...''

* '''The Subway. ''' It starts simply enough, with Kat being annoyed by handsy old man as she sits alongside the other commuters. We then see a man in sunglasses start crying, which is seemingly his cue to start stabbing people at random. By the time he’s restrained, there’s so much blood that peoples shoes are audibly squeaking. While he’s maniacally asking if he’s “beaten the record” after stabbing 5 people to death (a reference to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Taipei_Metro_attack 2014 Taipei Metro stabbing]], where 4 people died), another person starts stabbing people. Then another. And another. Before anyone can make sense of what’s happening, the subway car becomes a bloodbath; people are biting each other, the businessman stabs a woman named Molly [[EyeScream though the eye]], several people are raped ''onscreen '' and the only thing anyone can do is try not to be noticed because they’re all trapped in the train car. When it finally reaches its stop, the only people who aren’t dead or infected are covered in gore and running away in a blind panic.

* A wheelchair bound Molly gets infected when The Businessman ''rapes her [[EyeScream eye socket]]. ''

* While Kat is dragging a wounded Dr. Wong so they can get to the extraction helicopter, they run into Jim, who Kat had informed of their location. This ''should ''be a good thing, but Jim is [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie infected]]. This leads to Jim getting wounded, killing Wong and attempting to kill Kat, who narrowly avoids him by locking a gate between them. While she tries to talk to him, all he can do is tell her about how much he wants to [[BreastAttack cut off her tits]]. The film ends when Kat, a mentally degraded wreck by this point, making her way up to the roof, [[KilledOffscreen where muffled gunfire and screaming]] can be heard as the camera zooms in on Jim’s dying face, still smiling as he bleeds out.

* The scene in the restaurant is palpable with dread because you just know something bad is about to happen, starting with The Old Lady slowly [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent making her way through as a blurry figure behind Jim]]. She then dumps hot fry oil over some poor workers head and ''drags her nails through his melting face'. When she rounds on Jim, it’s almost a relief when she gets run over... by ''another'' infected, who gleefully laughs "that bitch came out of nowhere!"

*** Of course, when he actually ''is '' infected, he’s no treat to deal with either. He’s certainly the most focused we see, only getting distracted from his pursuit of Kat when he kills or assaults someone he finds while searching for her, as demonstrated with the random stranger he kills in the subway or with what he does to Molly…

** The Businessman is unsettling even before he gets infected, given his [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace lack of respect for Kats boundaries]] and how offended he gets at her obvious irritation with him. It’s also worth noting that, out of all the infected, he’s the only one who doesn’t seem to be crying. Make of that what you will.

** One of the more specific examples is The Old Lady, who is both the first of the infected we meet and almost certainly the most viscerally disturbing. On top of the above mentioned traits, she also has a mouth full of swollen gums and discoloured teeth, and is covered in blood [[NothingIsScarier for some reason]] even before she gets started.
