"How did the Korean armed forces react in this situation? Do you have any ideas? Because when we got here, one of their aircrafts intercepted us."
"I don't have full intel," she said. "But during the first few days… the military moved fast."
Ryan listened.
"How fast?" he asked.
"Immediate mobilization," she replied. "Quarantine zones, roadblocks, checkpoints across major cities. Seoul, Busan, Incheon—everything was locked down within hours."
Adrian nodded slightly.
"That lines up," he said.
"They tried to contain it," she continued. "At first, it looked like it was working. The infected were isolated. Civilians were being evacuated to controlled zones."
She paused.
Then shook her head slightly.
"But the numbers kept rising."
Ryan frowned.
"Too fast?" he asked.
"Yes," she said. "The infection rate was higher than what they expected. It wasn't just bites. Close contact was enough in some cases. Panic made it worse. People ran, broke containment, spread it further."
