A person who was born without a shadow?

For Du Juan and the others, this was an unimaginable existence, yet it was truly appearing before them.

After a brief confirmation and witnessing the other party tear apart several shadow monsters, Dujuan's team decided to accept them.

Deep in Dujuan's heart, there was an unrealistic fantasy.

"Perhaps... he will be our savior..."

The young man named Yingjiu stepped out of the shadows and into the simple, crowded defensive camp. He looked around curiously, seemingly lacking any common sense about life, and found everything around him novel.

Before Dujuan could ask any questions, Yingjiu began to introduce them.

"I was born without a shadow, and my memories of the past are all jumbled up. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed, and it was like the end of the world. So, can anyone tell me what happened?"

His statement was suspicious. Qiao Lan gestured to Captain Du Juan with her eyes, indicating that this guy was obviously lying.

Anyway, amnesia is such a lame excuse, isn't it?

This guy clearly remembers his own name!

Besides, you woke up in a hospital? Do you know how dangerous that place is? No one ever comes out of there alive!

The thought of the countless shadowy monsters in the hospital, those terrifying and horrifying beings that could not be understood or defeated... Qiao Lan couldn't help but shudder.

Du Juan acted as if she hadn't seen Qiao Lan's reminder, ignoring the strange expressions on the other members of the team.

Of course she knew that Yingjiu was lying, and Yingjiu also knew that they knew he was lying; he wasn't even willing to make up a plausible lie.

However, Yingjiu's perfunctory attitude stemmed from the fact that how Yingjiu came to be was unimportant, while a person without a shadow was...very important to Dujuan and the others!

Since Yingjiu wanted to know what had happened in this world, Dujuan organized her thoughts and spoke in a hoarse voice.

Let's begin with the day the blue sun rose...

That's right, one day the sun in this world turned blue.

No scientist can explain this phenomenon. There are no dust storms, it's not due to scattering, and even the sun appears blue when viewed from the space station. No matter how you observe the sun, it appears blue, even when wearing dark sunglasses.

This is a bizarre phenomenon that cannot be explained by science.

That month, astronomers and physicists were ecstatic, publishing thousands of papers. Never before had it been such a wonderful start.

Researchers in any field cannot ignore the blue sun when it comes to their research topics.

The space station soon encountered an accident, losing contact with the ground. The vast majority of the space station flew to a more distant place, with only a small number crashing. People were filled with regret, believing that if more space stations had crashed, they would have known what had happened inside.

Soon, this regret vanished, replaced by a feeling of relief.

A shadow monster emerged from the wreckage of the space station, becoming the first shadow monster that human society had ever encountered.

It was named 'Shadow Zero'.

According to current research, when a person is exposed to the blue sunlight, a monster will hatch in their 'shadow'. Once the monster matures, it will kill the human and cause destruction to its surroundings based on instinct!

These shadow monsters possess astonishing combat power and cannot be completely killed. Even if chopped into countless pieces, they will slowly merge back together. There is no container to confine them, and their shadows are ubiquitous.

Its only weakness is its fear of light; things like fire can temporarily isolate the shadow monster.

The shadow monsters are nourished by human desires and emotions!

Different desires and emotions hatch different shadow monsters!

Based on later research, it is speculated that two types of shadow monsters were bred within the space station:

One type is the shadow monster born from astronauts' fear of space and the unknown. It was these monsters that destroyed the space station and ultimately dragged most of the space station's wreckage into the boundless space.

The other type is the astronaut's desire to go home, which is the previous 'Shadow Zero'.

Because the space station is closer to the blue sun than people on Earth, the shadow monster was born there first. At the time, many scientists had already issued similar warnings, but people still knew too little about the shadow monster and the blue sun to make a rational collective decision.

After returning to the planet, Shadow Zero fled back to his home, nailed every door and window shut with blackout panels, and then hid in a corner, trembling with fear.

If someone attacks Shadow Zero, the opponent will retaliate.

The Zero Shadow moves faster than a bullet, making it impossible for the human eye to lock onto the target. It requires AI-assisted shooting. Ordinary bullets have no effect on it. Only bullets that have been bathed in blue sunlight for more than 20 hours can tear a piece of shadow off the Zero Shadow.

But doing so is pointless, because the torn shadow will soon return to Shadow Zero and merge with it.

Anyone who tries to approach that house will be attacked by Shadow Zero.

The only way to deal with Shadow Zero is to build a huge cage with cement, completely isolating Shadow Zero from the outside world.

To this day, humanity still cannot fully understand the logic behind the shadow monsters' actions; we can only summarize some patterns to improve humanity's survival rate in this disaster.

To escape the blue sun, humans live in underground shelters. Surface buildings are too conspicuous, and during the day they are attacked by shadow monsters. Even the strongest fortresses cannot withstand the endless onslaught of these undead monsters.
