My name is Patient Zero,
I found myself an NPC.

I used to think that I was the protagonist, probably the protagonist of novels like "Dream Everyday Dream", "Infinite Dreams" and "Let's Come with That Earth".
If someone sleeps at night, he often dreams that he is in another world where the end is happening, and no matter how long he stays in that world, and finally wakes up after only one night, it will also produce the same idea as me. Right.
With a certain sense of superiority, I actively participated in saving these worlds facing the end, and as expected, found their prototypes through various clues. The world with obvious signs so far can be judged by "After Tomorrow" and "I "Legend", "Resident Evil", "2012", "The Rise of the Orangutan" and so on.
If there is any dissatisfaction, it is suspected that the golden finger is too weak. The only function is to give me "wake up" in the case of mortal death, and to return to "wake up" for a period of time when I next dream.
As for the task, the enhancement, the exchange, and the ability to bring the results of the exercise or the obtained items back to reality, there is no such thing at all, so that even the existence of the golden finger itself is doubtful.
Although it was a bit miserable at the beginning, it awakened from time to time, but due to the perseverance of reading files, it will eventually save those worlds. It feels a bit like a movie called "Edge of Tomorrow".
Because nothing can be brought out, those adventures are completely zero gains. The only thing I have to say is that my level of appreciation for disaster films is getting higher.
As for the accumulated experience of saving the end ...
Well, the real world is normal, and that kind of thing won't happen.

In the morning of a weekend, I dreamed of a doomsday world that was difficult to save, and I fell a little out of bed,
After opening his eyes, he found a big red balloon with a play button pattern floating in front of him.
Could there be a bear kid at home?
Subconsciously reaching for the push, it exploded with a blow.
[Hint: ‘PAX-200’ has already infected Patient No. 0 in Country C. Since it is in an unstable period, please use DNA points to evolve it as soon as possible to infect more people. 】
Ear, not right, it is a female voice that is obviously mechanically synthesized in my mind,
what is that--
Before understanding this situation, I saw my hand stretched out dyed red, and then a circle of red strokes like animation rendering appeared, and then I heard Mario eating a gold coin.
Judging from certain keywords, this seems to be the end of a biochemical virus ...
So why did you run out of the dream!
No, wait, it sounds like a system prompt, so that incompetent gold finger can be used?
"System!" I shouted at the location of the balloon just now.
no response.
"Evolution! Check DNA points!" I tried to call the related nouns that I just heard.
There was still silence in the house, but there was a rustle of high heels in the corridor outside the house.
"What are you arguing about? Others thought we had a crazy girl in our family." Mom pushed the door and walked in.
"Uh, I have a nightmare." I thought about how to stop the spread of the "PAX-200" and pretended to be sleepy, and put my head on the quilt.
"Huh? You will be scared by nightmares?" Mom walked over to tear off the quilt and reached out to touch my forehead.
wait! Although you usually do it well, the situation today is different!
Ding.
Unsurprisingly, my arm touched my arm and was quickly red, and then the same red edge appeared on her.
"It doesn't seem to have a fever. Wake up and eat down early." Mom didn't seem to find the red, turned around and walked out and closed the door.
It's terrible, you have to think about countermeasures, based on experience-wait, because it's weekend, dad and brother seem to be at home?
[Hint: ‘PAX-200’ evolved ‘airborne’ successfully. 】
Following the prompt in his ear, two faint dings came from downstairs.
Uh, in terms of the population density of country C, air transmission is the most convenient. I have to make an excuse to stop them from going out today.
But who is controlling evolution?
I raised my arm and looked at the faint red light above it, and started asking myself questions and answers.
Question: Under the premise that the system can hear the prompt, the system ignores you, what is the reason?
Answer: Permissions, energy, points or similar stuff are not enough.
Ask again: The system does not respond to you, but is acting on its own, why?
Answer again: There are other people in control, the authority is higher than you.
The last question: Why is it forced to encounter something very unfortunate and irreversible in the presence of a system.
Last answer: You are an NPC that the plot needs.
Amount of support ... So what am I going to do now? Keep smiling and say "helloworld"?
"Don't eat, I have an appointment with my classmates in the morning--" Although the brother came downstairs because he was a little husky because of the voice change period, he still had a very energetic voice, followed by the door opening and closing.
I pulled the curtain sideways and looked out, and I saw that the kid had just stepped out of the yard on a skateboard.
He played some small stunts and greeted the neighbors he met, and the ding dings from my system kept ringing.
Neighbors who lived nearby began to stain pale red at an incredible speed, first people, then streets, and finally the whole house.
It was as if a drop of red ink had fallen into the pen wash tank that had just been replaced with new water.
This younger brother may be approaching a period of rebellion. He hasn't listened to me recently. Even if I come up with an excuse to keep his family out, he won't listen.
But is this just like the act of actively spreading the virus within the design of the system?
In this way, the big balloon is set before me?
I really am not the protagonist, just a key NPC.

Most of the world view was destroyed. After a simple wash, I lost my way downstairs and stared blankly at the red borders on my mom and dad. Their words and deeds were the same as before, but how they looked strange in a dark red background.
While thinking about how to break the situation while sitting at the table preparing for breakfast, the conversation between my father and my mother again confirmed that I had some kind of speculation.
"I'm going to Japan for a business trip in the afternoon." "Well, I'll send you to my mother's house by the way."
See, even the direction of propagation is scheduled, abroad and in the province.
In the dream before speaking, none of the birthplaces of those "doomsdays" is country C.
So the end world with country C as the starting point is the reality I think, hehe.
In the previous dream, from the perspective of outsiders, I have saved quite a few people, but if I change it to myself, it really is not enough, because I am the center of the end, so the rescue is the lowest ...
Calm down, did you save so many worlds just for this moment? Come on, you must do it, who--
Huh? What's my name?
"[Patient Zero], you are an older sister, will we take care of your younger brother when we are not home, right?" Dad said to me.
I nodded while thinking: "Of course, no problem, if he is not obedient, I will let him know what elder sister is like mother."
and many more!
What is my name? Patient zero?
Why didn't I realize such a stupid name until today?
The "patient zero" in medicine refers to the first patient who has contracted an infectious disease and has begun to spread the virus. In an epidemiological investigation, it may also be called "initial case" or "labeled case", which is caused by the individual. Large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases.
Think again, what is the name of Mom and Dad? Remember what was written on their ID card?
[Father of Patient Zero] [Mother of Patient Zero]
... I seem to hear the collapse of the worldview.

Soon after, the family members went on business trips or travels, thinking that they were spreading the virus.
Although it is initially determined that this is a world produced by a grungy doomsday game, I have no impression of it at all. For example, there will be no Aunt Rowling in the world of Harry Potter, and you are a dimension higher Here.
But I still decided to rescue, such as finding a doctor or something.
Because this "PAX-200" did nothing but dye the world red, it seems that after the evolution of air propagation, it will wait for it to spread to the world on its own. In this case, I do n’t have no chance at all.
But the problem is that there are no "symptoms" at all, so that the doctor will not prescribe me. Even going to the hospital for a laboratory test and successfully discovering it is useless, because the microbial population that does not cause harm or even be beneficial is called "probiotics", and common sense cannot destroy their balance.
To solve that thing, unless I drink antibiotics madly-that is not the thing to drink.
Perhaps now "players" are planning to wait for "PAX-200" to spread to the whole world and then suddenly evolve all the symptoms ... cough.
The throat was inexplicably a little itchy, and the system prompt appeared in the ear next moment.
[Hint: Without the use of DNA points, ‘PAX-200’ mutates ‘cough’ symptoms autonomously]
Does patient number zero even have symptoms in advance?
But as I would like, from the word "autonomous mutation", we can see that this event should be an accident for the "player", similar to the challenge given by the game itself, so take this opportunity to quickly find a doctor.
Quickly change clothes and go out, walk to the clinic at the door of the community.
The community where my home is located is some small high-rise buildings with separate buildings. Each family has its own yard. There are also living water lakes and artificial hills nearby. The environment is very good, and all community services are also complete. The name is stupid-[patient zero] Community].
No one has ever had an opinion on this dumb name carved on a rockery before today. It is probably the same as my name. It is restricted by some rules. It is really a sad thing to do NPC.
The community services of the community are basically concentrated around the small park near the gate. All the signboards are prefixed with the "zero patient community". I am guilty of cancer when I look at it. At the same time, I am more concerned about the role of the clinic. doubt.
Come on, "Zero Patient Community Clinic"!
【Public Health Surveillance Center of National Center for Disease Control and Prevention】
……what?

"Cough cough cough--"
I originally thought that the signboard was already exaggerated, but after entering the clinic, I was shocked twice.
"Well, it looks terrible. When did it start?" The doctor at the clinic, the source of the fright, asked.
"Cough-well, this is how I got up this morning, and I didn't have a fever." I covered my mouth and answered.
It stands to reason that I have experienced a lot of things that have collapsed reality today, and I should not be surprised by other small things, but this is obviously beyond expectations.
This doctor, he was not dyed red at all!
In a world where red filters are used, and even the air is stained with light red, only the one-meter square circle around him is all the normal colors in the impression.
Was the Center for Disease Control and Prevention so powerful? To reason about it, it should be the main enemy that the "player" needs to fight in order to clear customs.
"Is it? It may be cold, after all, your home is by the artificial lake." The doctor has natural ear curls, the facial features and facial lines are very cold, and even a bit fierce when viewed alone, but a Frame glasses suppressed them all.
"Huh? Doctor, do you know me?" I tried to think about how to explain to him that I was infected with an unknown disease. Although there are only cough symptoms at present, it will destroy the world sooner or later-normal people will not believe it.
"Although I'm boastful, I still know the resident population of the community, Miss No. zero." The doctor smiled at me, wrote down the prescription and got up and walked to the medicine cabinet: "I personally recommend not to take medicine first, but if If you feel serious, take the dose. "
So my surname zero is called a patient, right? If I can manage this crisis, I will definitely change my name!
[Hint: "PAX-200" degenerative "cough" symptom is successful, and get DNA points. 】
Yes, it! Sure enough, the "player" has been staring at the opening stage?
"Huh? Why, do you feel serious?" The doctor asked when he saw me suddenly clenching my teeth.
"No, on the contrary, I feel almost better, it must be the curative effect of the clinic air." I talked nonsense, paid and received the medicine, and then found that even if I entered the doctor's "immune range", the red did not expand.
Very good, it seems that this is a key NPC. If symptoms appear in the future, he will come to him immediately to "surrender". Even my layman knows that finding the source of infection is the key to curing infectious diseases.
After thanking the doctor, I left the clinic.
Next, just pay attention to world news and system prompts.

[Hint: ‘PAX-200’ evolved ‘drug resistance’ success]
[Hint: "PAX-200" has spread to South America]
[Hint: "PAX-200" has evolved successfully in "Water Source Spread"]
[Hint: "PAX-200" has spread to Africa]
[Hint: ‘PAX-200’ has evolved successfully through ‘drought adaptation’]
The next few days, as I expected, the "player" did not mean to evolve symptoms at all, just constantly evolving the method and speed of propagation, I just need to adapt to a world covered with a light red no matter what. You can also listen to the prompts to understand where "PAX-200" has spread.
During this period, I voluntarily mutated the symptoms several times, but all of them were quickly degraded before I went to the doctor. The bad luck was basically only myself.
In order to be able to "report" in time, I always found excuses to hang out around the clinic, but before the goal was achieved, a group of gossip aunts made out rumors that I had seen the doctor.
"The girl at [Zero No.] seems to like the guy who works at [Monitoring Point] and is called [Monitor] ~"
Please! Do you really feel awkward about this gossip? The world is still ruined!
[Hint: Without the use of DNA points, ‘PAX-200’ mutates ‘nausea’ symptoms autonomously]
[Without using DNA points, ‘PAX-200’ mutates voluntarily to ‘stomach bleeding’ symptoms]
Probably because of the fact that it will almost spread to the whole world. Recently, there are two symptoms of autonomous mutation, but "players" will always degenerate them quickly. I am walking in a small park. clinic.
It should be degraded soon, but it was me who had stomachache before then ...
[Hint: Degeneration of "nausea" symptoms failed, please degrade advanced symptoms first]
Ok? Speaking of the past are unrelated symptoms, this time seems to belong to digestive problems?
[Hint: Degeneration of "nausea" symptoms failed, please degrade advanced symptoms first]
[Hint: Degeneration of "nausea" symptoms failed, please degrade advanced symptoms first]
A sense of trembling rushed straight over the back of the head, that ’s right, this is the legendary state that
playing games in the middle of the night is too difficult
, just like the union in one of my games has opened up wasteland several times until midnight, and the whole group has all All kinds of sleepwalking are the same.
I will talk about the time difference between the world later! The most important thing now is that I have rushed to the clinic entrance!
"Pooh!" As soon as I entered the clinic door, I vomited a lot of blood on the ground: "Monitor, help me--"
I hope I didn't make any mistakes. Unlike the small things like cold and cough, this "advanced" symptom should be paid more attention.
In the next moment, the colorless area that was almost compressed to the surface of the monitor doctor suddenly expanded, covering the entire clinic.
[Hint: A new infectious disease was discovered in country C, named ‘PAX-200’]
I hadn't had time to vomit, the virus even brought me in, and I lost consciousness in front of my eyes, so I laughed in my head.
Hum, let you play such a dark game, know that NPC is not so irritating!
