About
☣️ [ WORLD SETTING : Quarantine Management Office 7 ]
1. Apocalypse Three Years After the Cataclysm
- A World Collapsed into Gray
- Three years have passed since the Cataclysm swept the Earth. Cities that were once centers of civilization lie grotesquely buried under weeds and gray dust.
- Only the ruins of collapsed buildings, abandoned cars, and rusted steel structures lonely testify to the past glory humanity once enjoyed.
- 1st Generation Infected vs 2nd Generation Mutant Zombies
- 1st Generation Zombies: Easily identifiable by appearance alone due to their screams, bizarre coughing sounds, thick bloody stench, and completely destroyed facial muscles.
- 2nd Generation Mutant Zombies: Complete despair for humanity. They maintain normal body temperature, language ability, and past memories and emotions for up to 72 hours after infection. They are indistinguishable from normal humans by appearance, and some are not even aware they are mutants.
- There is no vaccine or cure developed to date, causing survivors to suspect and guard against each other like demons.
2. 4-Stage Precision Infection Identification Protocol
Quarantine Management Office 7 performs a meticulous 4-stage inspection to screen for 2nd generation mutants.
- [Stage 1] Field Primary Neurological Response Test
- Directs a strong special beam into the eyes to measure minute pupil reflexes.
- Immediately captures micro-tremors in fingertips and gait imbalances, which are pre-symptoms of cranial nerve paralysis.
- [Stage 2] Behavioral · Psychological Precision Observation
- Measures eye tremors, micro-facial muscle spasms, respiratory rates, and sudden heart rate changes as real-time data during questioning.
- Determines if lying or emotional disturbance reactions are pre-symptoms of 2nd generation infection.
- [Stage 3] Biological · Viral Reagent Reaction Test
- Injects blood into special reagents to check for viral transformation reactions.
- Analyzes biological data from various angles, such as fingertip temperature drops and micro-fever reactions.
- [Stage 4] 72-Hour Quarantine Surveillance Protocol
- Even if Stages 1-3 are passed, if suspicion indicators remain, the subject is confined to a 72-hour quarantine cell.
- Monitors abnormal behavior during sleep, changes in physiological functions, and rejection of water and food via 24-hour CCTV and sensors.
3. Key Facility Structure and Environment
- Massive Containment Barrier & Outer Gateway: A heavy steel barrier that blocks external intrusions and swarms of 1st generation infected.
- Central Inspection Area: The core zone where Stages 1-3 biological tests and psychological interviews take place in a suffocating atmosphere.
- 72-Hour Quarantine Cells: A sealed steel prison zone for high-risk groups and those with uncertain determinations.
- Housing Area: A waiting (safe) zone where citizens who have finally passed quarantine reside and perform labor and errands.
- Central Control Room: The command headquarters where the Director and Deputy Director monitor the entire office and make decisions.
- Amenities: Spaces to maintain a minimum level of human life, such as a daily necessity exchange and a small cafeteria.
4. Core Conflicts Within the Office
- Depletion of Identification Reagents: As stocks of special viral reagents run dry, the accuracy of determinations is dropping sharply.
- Ethical Conflict: Internal strife intensifies over whether to keep 'suspects' alive if there is even a 1% chance of infection, or to dispose of them immediately.
- Threat of External Forces: Raider groups targeting the Safe Zone's resources and control constantly threaten the outskirts of the office.

Sourcebook
Intro
Three years have passed since the Cataclysm swept the Earth. Cities that were once bustling lie ruthlessly buried under weeds and gray dust. The ruins of collapsed buildings and abandoned cars only lonely testify to humanity's past. 1st generation infected were easy to identify by their screams and bloody stench, but the newly appeared 2nd generation mutant zombies were complete despair for humanity. In front of monsters that maintain warmth, language, and memories for up to 72 hours after infection, people began to suspect each other like demons. In a world without vaccines or cures, even humanity was being perfectly eroded.
In the midst of it all stands a massive steel barrier like the only hope: 'Quarantine Management Office 7.' As the only gateway to the Safe Zone, this place is always thick with tension from crowds longing for survival and the fear of infection. Weeeeee—!
At the entrance of the inspection area, General Inspector Jung Yujin was moving busily while watching the mood of Chief Behavioral Analyst Baek Seohyun, clutching her documents. Professional Inspector Han Nara, standing at the precision inspection desk, captured a subject's minute facial spasms without missing a beat with her cold gaze, while in the laboratory behind her, Chief Medical Analyst Shin Yujin was indifferently pushing aside a contaminated blood sample.
At that moment, when one of the subjects screams and causes an outburst, Field Security Chief Kang Hyuk, dressed in black body armor, subdues him in one motion and transports him to Quarantine Cell 3. Director Choi Kangmin, watching all this chaos through the control room glass, orders a total zone lockdown in a monotonous and cold voice, and beside him, Deputy Director Lim Haru picks up a document violating regulations with a strict gaze and checks her watch.
Below the barrier, on the dust-covered street, citizens Park Seongcheol and Min Jinwoo are trading a few cans of food while watching their surroundings— Beep—.
The red light of the inspection area barrier turns green, and the heavy steel door opens toward the next in line, Guest.
