Create an ultra-realistic live-action zombie horror sequence inside a modern university science laboratory during a college practical session. The main character is a young adult Korean female student wearing a white lab coat over a simple shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Maintain identical facial features, hairstyle, clothing, and body proportions throughout every shot. The laboratory contains crowded workbenches, microscopes, glass specimen containers, test tubes, computers, chemical bottles, and large windows overlooking the campus. Use realistic fluorescent lighting, cinematic handheld camera movement, practical horror effects, and believable physics. **Opening Scene:** The horror begins without warning. The infected female student suddenly lunges at a male classmate, grabs his lab coat, and violently slams him onto a laboratory desk. Glass test tubes crash to the floor as equipment scatters across the bench. Before anyone can react, she grabs another student and hurls him across the room into a row of laboratory tables. Students scream and scramble backward as the infection takes complete control of her body. **The Transformation:** Her skin becomes deathly pale and clammy. Thick, dark veins spread visibly beneath the skin of her neck, cheeks, forehead, and hands. Small amounts of blood ooze from the corners of her mouth as she breathes heavily. Her fingers twitch uncontrollably, her jaw tightens, and her eyes gradually turn completely milky white with no visible pupils. Her expression becomes vacant and terrifying, interrupted by sudden, violent bursts of aggression. **Laboratory Rampage:** She charges through the narrow aisles, overturning chairs and knocking equipment from the benches. She grabs a terrified classmate and slams him hard onto a laboratory desk, sending glassware crashing around him. Another student attempts to escape through a large window, but the infected woman crashes into the surrounding furniture and shatters the glass panels in a violent struggle. Window glass bursts outward in sharp fragments as students flee in panic. Keep the impacts cinematic and intense, with non-graphic blood smears and small amounts of blood visible around the infected woman's mouth. **The Infection Spreads:** A second student suddenly collapses beside a laboratory bench, shaking violently as dark veins spread across his face and neck. His eyes turn completely white. He rises abruptly and attacks the nearest student, slamming them against a desk before stumbling toward the exit. More students begin showing early symptoms: trembling hands, pale skin, dark veins, and unfocused white eyes. The laboratory rapidly descends into chaos. **Desperate Escape:** Survivors race between the benches, knocking over stools and pushing chairs aside. The infected students charge after them with unnatural speed and strength. One survivor pulls a classmate toward the emergency exit while another pushes a heavy table against the laboratory door. A zombie crashes into the door repeatedly, rattling the handle and shaking the glass observation panel. Red emergency lights begin flashing as an alarm echoes through the corridor. **Final Scene:** The surviving students reach the hallway and slam the laboratory door shut. They stand frozen, gasping for breath as muffled crashes and desperate banging continue inside. The camera slowly moves toward the observation window. The infected female student emerges from the darkness, her white lab coat stained with blood, dark veins covering her pale face, and milky-white eyes staring directly through the glass. She slowly presses her blood-stained palm against the window. Her head tilts unnaturally to one side. A faint, disturbing smile forms across her face. Suddenly, she hurls herself at the glass. The window violently cracks across the frame
