The world was enveloped in pitch-black darkness.
For Zhou Yuan, an extraordinary person from the Shadow System, it felt like being home, moving like a fish in water.
He stepped out from the darkness atop a building and looked down.
In the shattered ruins of the city, two Hunters were desperately sprinting down the road.
They were a man and a woman, dressed in tattered clothing, carrying compound bows on their backs. At a glance, they appeared no different from regular humans.
However, their speed and agility far surpassed that of normal humans, putting them in the category of enhanced humans.
Behind them were thirteen large monsters in relentless pursuit. These creatures stood about two meters tall, their bodies roughly cylindrical. Their heads were extraordinarily developed, giving them a swollen appearance, somewhat resembling mushroom caps. Their skin was pale and hairless, with bulging veins visible on the surface.
