However, the allyl sulphide fails to provoke any reaction in the vampires he tests. Neville also tries to kill vampires by injecting them with allyl sulphide, the pungent chemical found in garlic. Neville also learns that it’s possible to kill vampires by piercing their bodies anywhere-it doesn’t have to be the heart, contrary to folklore. There, he waits for them to wake up, and then dangles crosses in front of their faces-he finds that some, but not all, of the vampires are repulsed by the sight of a cross. During the day, he kidnaps sleeping vampires from their hiding places, and takes them back to his house.

In an effort to stave off his depression and loneliness, Neville tries to learn about the vampires. To his horror, Virginia rose from the dead and walked back to the house-afterwards, it’s strongly implied, Neville was forced to “kill” his vampire wife for a second time. However, when Virginia died, Neville couldn't bear to burn the body instead, he dragged it to a cemetery and buried it underground. The government instituted a law that all victims of the plague be burned in a huge pit after the death of his daughter, Neville followed this rule. In 1975, the year of the plague, there were widespread reports of dust storms and genetically mutated bugs and insects that spread the plague across the world. In flashbacks, we learn that Neville has been devastated by the death of his wife, Virginia Neville, and his daughter, Kathy Neville. Afterwards, he drinks heavily and falls into depression.

Neville narrowly manages to return to his house alive. One evening, his watch stops, so that he’s forced to drive home after sunset and fight past Ben Cortman and the other vampires. Neville has several close calls with the vampires. All night, Neville hears the sound of his old friend and neighbor, Ben Cortman-now a vampire-shouting, “Come out, Neville!” Every day, he travels across the city, impaling sleeping vampires with wooden stakes, and every night, he barricades himself in his house to hide from the vampires (who only come out in the dark).

In the city of Los Angeles, a man named Robert Neville has managed to survive by converting his house into a fortress. After their deaths, the world’s human beings rise from the grave and become vampires: sensitive to light, garlic, and mirrors, dormant during the day, and impervious to bullets. The year is 1976-one year after a deadly plague sweeps the world, killing virtually all human beings.
