Rebirth after the apocalypse: I create a new world with space!

Unbeknownst to her, in a dark corner of the base, a shadowy figure was lurking in the shadows of the wall, its gaze fixed intently on the temporary dormitory building where she was.

A strange smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and the shadow beneath his feet twisted and wriggled as if it were alive. Wherever it passed, the temperature of the ground dropped sharply, and even the dust floating in the air seemed to be frozen.

Then, the dark figure disappeared like ink dripping into an abyss, silently merging into the deeper darkness.

An even greater crisis is brewing quietly in a corner that no one is aware of.

In the abandoned alleyway in the northwest corner of the base, the shadows were denser than elsewhere, as if they had been condensed into a ball by an invisible force, and even the sunlight was reluctant to penetrate them.

The figure that had just disappeared into the darkness was now pressed against the mottled wall, as if it had become one with the shadows. Even its breathing was extremely shallow, turning into a wisp of cold air that was almost imperceptible.

He was wearing a faded base resident uniform, and his face showed a numb weariness. If someone passed by, they would only think he was an ordinary survivor who had just finished work and was taking a break.

But if you look closely, you'll find that deep in his pupils lies a cold, red light that is the same as that of a zombie, and as that light flows, it carries a malice that devours life.

He is a core spy of the Destruction Force, lurking in the Youzhou base, codenamed "Shadow Serpent," and is one of the members with the ability to manipulate shadows.

When the Fire Team's convoy drove into the base yesterday, he took advantage of the shadows at the alley entrance to get a clear view of everything.

Especially when he saw the seemingly ordinary backpack on Li Luo's shoulder, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The backpack still had a faint energy fluctuation, scattered and deliberate, clearly a decoy used to mislead people.

Even though his energy shielding device at the base weakened him, his keen perception of the same source energy did not fail. Behind these scattered fluctuations, he vaguely caught a trace of a more subtle and purer source energy emanating from Li Luo, as clear as a candle flame in the dark.

"Zombie virus reagent... Sure enough, it was on her. The backpack was just a decoy." Shadow Snake whispered to himself, his voice cold and piercing, with a metallic, hoarse quality, and the red light in his eyes grew even colder.

The woman was even more cautious than he had expected, managing to hide such an important reagent so discreetly.

He had been lurking in the base for half a year, gradually infiltrating from an initial peripheral survivor into a supply transport team near the research area. He relied on the absolute stealth brought by his shadow manipulation ability, as well as the "harmless" aura that allowed him to perfectly disguise himself as an ordinary person.

In the past six months, he planned three sneak attacks on researchers, each time using the omnipresent shadows in the base to approach the target.

Sometimes it's a dark corner in the wall, sometimes it's a blind spot where the streetlights don't reach, and sometimes it can even slip into the shadowy gap under the door.

After succeeding, they disappeared into the shadows, never leaving any trace, only two cold missing persons records.

Yesterday, when Xu Ying led Li Luo and the others into the temporary dormitory area, he had already secretly followed them for a distance, using the shadows of the corner of the wall.

Although the surveillance cameras around the dormitory area were dense, the shadows were his best cover. Those cameras could only capture his physical form, but they could never capture him hiding in the shadows.
