The ocean has become a complete no-go zone for humans, because it is home to countless terrifying shadow monsters, whose origins are unclear—whether they are humans or other creatures.
Humans can only hide underground, barely surviving.
When night falls, the shadow monsters go to sleep, and as long as they are not disturbed, they are safe. Therefore, the resource collection team always operates in the dark at night.
After sunrise, the shadow monsters will become active. The longer they bask in the blue sunlight, the stronger their activity becomes, and their abilities in all aspects will be greatly enhanced!
Each shadow monster is different; no two shadow monsters have ever been found to be exactly the same.
Some shadow monsters are bloodthirsty, and their targets are all living things around them. These shadow monsters are extremely dangerous, and their activity range is usually marked on the map. Teams like Dujuan have to take detours around them.
Some shadow monsters are keen on consuming food; these resource-consuming shadow monsters are the most dangerous!
Because we are now in the apocalypse, resources are extremely precious. For the shadow monsters to consume resources, it is equivalent to killing more people!
Once such monsters are discovered, the surrounding survival bases must send personnel with specialized weapons to dismantle these shadow monsters, ensuring that they are completely incapacitated, and then send people to maintain them regularly.
The survival base where Dujuan is located has 'sealed' a total of 92 resource-consuming shadow monsters in the vicinity, and one is still at large.
"The escaped shadow monster was born from a person who was nearly dying of thirst, bathed in blue sunlight. Therefore, it had a frenzied thirst for water, not only emptying the few remaining bottles on the supermarket shelves but also vandalizing water pipes everywhere..."
If this monster cannot be eliminated, the water supply to the survival base will soon be affected, and once the fragile ecosystem collapses, countless more lives will be lost.
Ying Jiu seemed to be deep in thought. "So, you want me to help you kill this monster?"
"The shadow monster is unkillable..."
Du Juan shook her head. The shadow monsters that Ying Jiu had previously destroyed were now slowly merging together and would soon be resurrected.
"If possible, it would be best to gather information about this monster's movements, patterns of activity, and range of activity—in short, any useful information will do!"
Du Juan didn't let Ying Jiu deal with the monster alone, because that would be tantamount to suicide.
All we need to do is gather some intelligence.
Ying Jiu didn't immediately agree, but instead asked,
Why should I do this?
You will gain our friendship...
Du Juan paused, then found her own statement laughable and shook her head.
"You have no shadow. As long as you're willing to join us, you won't even need to do anything. People will naturally worship you as a god, and you will possess everything we have..."
"I have no interest in anything you have."
Yingjiu stomped down hard, crushing the shadow monster that was about to regenerate into dust once again.
Then, he pulled out a four-meter-long broadsword from somewhere. The blade struck the ground, sending up countless sparks that reflected the surprised and astonished faces of the five members of the team.
After unleashing 198,642 cuts, watching his shadow being chopped into a pulp, Ying Jiu leaned against the back of his blade and wiped away his sweat.
"They are indeed a bit difficult to kill."
Coming to her senses, Du Juan was about to say something when she saw Ying Jiu plunge the knife into the ground and clap his hands.
"Luckily, I know how to call for backup, otherwise I would have really been defeated here today."
"Second brother, come out and get to work."
The next moment, the entire underground parking garage was enveloped in blinding light, which was like invisible swords that made it impossible to open one's eyes.
Du Juan squinted her eyes, barely managing to make out a blurry outline with the help of special glasses.
That was... a swordsman standing on a white horse?
