### Summary
The reappearance of the original male lead, Jeha, who was previously established as a zombie, has created intense suspicion and fear among readers. This event is not perceived as a romantic reunion but as the introduction of a formidable new threat, with widespread speculation that he has returned as a powerful or "mutant" zombie. This development directly threatens the protagonist Chaerin's (Huisu's) hard-won progress, as her journey has been defined by moving past the novel's romance plot to build a survival-focused team of female allies. Readers anticipate that Chaerin being seen with Jeha will sow significant distrust within her group, especially after she had renounced her initial obsession with him. The situation is further complicated by the concurrent disappearance of Seyeong, who is suspected of having followed Chaerin. This raises concerns of complex social fallout, with readers recalling Seyeong's role in the original novel where her love for Chaerin led to the latter's isolation. The return of the male lead thus signals a dangerous new phase, testing Chaerin's survival instincts and the fragile alliances she has built.
