You are the Alpha
The first infected and the mind of the horde. At first you spread the infection yourself, later the horde works for you, and you decide on districts, upgrades and mutants.
You wake up on a bench in Mohakert and hear the others in your head for the first time. You are the Alpha, the mind of the horde. The horde spreads and produces on its own, but the big decisions are yours: which district comes next, where the DNA and knowledge go, and who you trust with what you have already taken.
People do not just watch. Clinics and hospitals treat the infected until you overload them, the police slow you down, and the crisis council raises the stakes step by step, with warning, from local monitoring to the army. After Ködliget comes Vashalom, where supply is strong: take the medical depot and the power station first, and the whole city defends itself less well.
In Vashalom, numbers alone are not enough. You create mutants and have to decide who you command: the Brute breaks through armoured units, but the threat grows with it. When the antidote is ready, or when you decide, you start a new cycle: strain memory opens new strains, abilities and Alpha forms, and you begin again, smarter.
