The Zone Survival Mission Season 2 Episode 7 brings the trio to Busan in an underground bunker with horror, puzzles, and no signal. Following the coordinates given to them last week, Kwon Yuri, Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Kwang-soo enter the bunker from three different locations and begin their solo journey to meet again.
While the two men are known to be scared in such situations, this time Yuri too was affected by the horrors of this bunker which made her goosebumps rise. Upon entering the bunker, the three looks at the spooky atmosphere The Zone Survival Mission team created and make their way deeper inside. Luckily, they find light in this darkness when they are able to hear each others’ voices.

Soon, the trio meet at the centre of the maze but are separated by the walls in between them. Their individual bases are ready for them and they are soon told that they need to answer some questions to be able to see each other again. Their first question soon arrives and the three need to go around their areas to find the clues needed to solve the questions.
Unfortunately, they fail the first question which was related to a song by Yoo Jae-suk himself. While it may have been a bummer to the team, they soon get a hang of the way these questions will proceed and begin to pick up their skills and speed. But being on this show means that the troubles are neverending and with this, the horror of the bunker gets to the next level.
With darkness covering the bunker or voices and screams of women echoing through the place, it is not easy for the trio to get their hands on the clues without having each others’ backs. The fears soon set into them all and they work harder to be able to see each other through the separation. This is also so that Jae-suk can get his hands on some ramyeon which is on Kwang-soo’s side.
The questions continue to flow, but having no signal in these bunkers leaves them with no sense of time either. So with no idea how long these puzzles are going to continue, the irritation soon sets in but the trio is unable to do anything.
Soon, after numerous failed questions, the four hours time is up and the separation falls, giving the trio their much-awaited reunion. However, this also indicates a failed mission as they failed to bring down the separation themselves.

With this, the mission for the day comes to an end while the episode closes with a small preview of the season finale which looks like another war that is soon to come.
Summing Up: The Zone Survival Mission Season 2 Episode 7
Episode 7 brought in another important lesson for us all while also showing us the mirror of our reality that has become so dependent on communication networks.
