Outbreak within the North
After 7 years and three months since Prince Chang faked his dying, we realized from Younger-Shin, in a reunion with Cho Beom-Pal, that his royal highness had been investigating the resurrection plant, looking it throughout Korea. We realized that the resurrection plant had been rising in areas throughout Korea, and a mysterious vendor from the Chinese language/Korean border had been promoting it to the frequent folks.
Taking Prince Chang, Seobi, and his guard north, they found an deserted village. Upon investigating, they quickly found that the village had develop into contaminated.
