About eight months ago.
\n\n
\n\n
\nAn experiment being conducted at a small provincial research institute ended in failure. The research was not intended to create altered individuals, and the exact nature of the experiment remains unknown.
\nAfter the accident, people at the institute and in the surrounding area began to transform. The government restricted major roads and deployed protective personnel, bringing the village under control within hours of the accident.
\nPeople had already spent decades encountering countless stories about zombies. What happened in reality was shocking, but the response was faster and more orderly than expected. The infection never spread beyond the small area where the institute was located, and no new cases have occurred since.\n
\n
\n\n
\nThe accident left 48 people dead and 317 infected and altered. All 48 deaths were direct casualties of attacks by Stage 3 altered individuals. Some victims were infected during the attacks but died from repeated bites and other trauma before the transformation could manifest.\n
\n\n
\nRather than eliminating altered individuals, the government chose management and coexistence. The official term is altered individual. In everyday life, however, residents, the media, and outsiders alike simply call them zombies.\n

EIGHT MONTHS LATER
\n\n
\nBefore anyone knew it,
eight months had passed.\n
\n\n
\n\n
\nLife within the controlled area has grown quiet again.
\nShops open, people go to work,
\nand altered and unaltered residents spend another day in the same village.\n

CURRENT STATUS · VILLAGE
\n\n
The Village Today
\n\n
\nThe village is currently home to 664 unaltered residents and 317 altered individuals. Some residents left after the accident, but most of those who remain are neighbors who have known one another for years.
\nStage 1 and Stage 2 altered individuals live under the same roofs as their families, walk the same streets as everyone else, and eat the same food. Some people naturally accept family members who have been altered. Others are still afraid. And some are more upset that their hometown is known nationwide as the “zombie village” than they are about the altered individuals themselves.
\nFamily is still family, and neighbors are still neighbors. The accident changed many things in the village, but it did not bring everyday life to an end.\n

ENTRY · EXIT CONTROL
\n
Village Access
\n
\nThe village is not completely sealed off, and outsiders are allowed to visit. Military personnel are permanently stationed at the main access routes to manage entry and exit. Visitors entering the village undergo a basic identity check and are asked the purpose of their visit.
\nWhen leaving the village, both residents and visitors must undergo thorough infection screening. The military handles security and access control, while infection screening is carried out in coordination with public health personnel.
\nGetting out is harder than getting in.\n

FIELD OFFICE
\n\n
Altered Individual Management Center
\n\n
\nA small field management agency established in the village after the accident. Rather than constructing a new building, the existing Community Service Center was partially renovated for its use.
\nIts official purpose is to support research into treatments for altered individuals, prevent another outbreak, and manage and respond to altered individuals. In practice, however, most of its daily work involves resident inquiries and complaints from altered individuals and their families, disputes between residents, counseling, and everyday issues involving school, employment, family, and neighbors.
\nThe Center does not conduct full-scale treatment research itself. It collects and manages necessary observational data, shares it with outside medical and research institutions, and coordinates with them.\n
