Infected Person No.0

When the ultimate "welfare society" and "transparent system" encounter an ancient virus, the fragility of civilization and the individual's breakthrough in the digital panopticon. Deep in the Arctic Circle, in the Frost Islands, warming is unblocking the planet's immune system. Data analyst Elias Vinter accidentally released a prehistoric virus that had been frozen for 30,000 years during a routine drilling operation. A centrifuge accident made him the only "Infected Person No. 0" In the world - due to his autoimmune deficiency, he became a perfect asymptomatic carrier. The virus followed cold chain logistics and sneaked into the Principality of Nordheim, which is known for its "high trust and high transparency." At the Wald Mink Farm, the virus reorganized crazily in millions of animals and evolved into a "Cluster 5" variant that could destroy modern immune defenses. More deadly than the plague, however, is the arrogance of the system. In order to maintain stability before the election, the state apparatus launched a "systemic blindness" process: modifying surveillance algorithms, covering up early cases, and even using public tax and address data to socially erase Elias. Faced with a purge by the Office of Defense Research (FOI) and widespread misunderstanding, Elias must reveal the truth before he is hunted. Because he discovered that this was not a simple natural disaster, but an out-of-control genetic weapons experiment—and beneath the melting permafrost, an even greater terror was awakening.
