Walking down the street, Noah held a book in his hand, flipping through it as he walked aimlessly forward.

This book was one that Noah had casually taken from a desk when he left the place called the police station.

The title of the book was "The Gastrea War."

During the two or three days Noah spent at the police station, he interacted with the police officers every day, pushing their limits with his persistent manner.

In the end, although all the police officers at the station treated Noah like a tiger they wished to drive away, Noah still managed to learn a certain level of communication.

If there were no issues, Noah could now smoothly engage in everyday conversations.

As for the language and writing, Noah intended to use this book to grasp some of it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to smoothly obtain the information recorded in books, which would be quite troublesome.

Of course, during the two or three days at the police station, Noah not only learned a certain level of communication but also gained some information about this world.

Just as Noah had felt when he first arrived in this world.

This world, in essence, could be described as a world filled with despair.

About nine years ago, this world was a peaceful place with a population of over 8 billion.

However, one day nine years ago, a kind of monster appeared in this world without any warning, and with its terrifying infectious ability, it rapidly increased in numbers, launching a massive attack on the human world.

These monsters were collectively known as —— Gastrea.

They were creatures that had been infected by a terrifying virus capable of rewriting a biological organism's DNA through blood.

The virus was called —— the Gastrea virus.

Any creature infected by the Gastrea virus, whether human or animal, would be rapidly transformed into a Gastrea, becoming a complete monster.

These monsters not only possessed terrifying and savage strength but could also infect other creatures with the Gastrea virus by injecting bodily fluids, turning them into Gastrea. They also had a certain degree of regenerative ability.

Human weapons were unable to easily kill these monsters.

In such a situation, the Gastrea, in their terrifying numbers, launched a massive attack on the human world nine years ago, sparking a world war.

In the end, humanity suffered a crushing defeat.

The population of about 8 billion plummeted sharply.

Only about one-tenth remained.

The areas where humans once ruled the world were taken over by the Gastrea, leaving only about 20% of the land where the remaining one-tenth of humanity hid, engaging in a nine-year-long, desperate struggle against the Gastrea.

What protected the last regions where humans could survive and prevented their complete extinction were the massive black stone pillars standing around the cities.

These were made of a black metal called "Vanadium," which could emit a special weak magnetic field, weakening the activity of the Gastrea virus, depriving the Gastrea of their regenerative abilities, and causing them to instinctively stay away.

It was because of the existence of Vanadium, which could deprive the Gastrea of their regenerative abilities, that humans had a chance to fight against the Gastrea. They used large amounts of Vanadium to create the "Monoliths" and placed them around the remaining human territories, using the magnetic fields emitted by Vanadium to isolate the Gastrea, allowing humans to survive.

However, even with this, humans could only hide in the areas where the "Monoliths" existed, barely surviving, still dreaming of reclaiming the lost lands but unable to do anything against the terrifying numbers and strength of the Gastrea.

This world was truly filled with despair.

The city where Noah was located was called the Tokyo Region, one of the five regions that the country of Japan had split into after being invaded by the Gastrea.

Noah's luck was truly not bad.

If he hadn't appeared near the Tokyo Region when he arrived in this world, he would have likely been surrounded and attacked by the terrifying Gastrea army long ago.

Noah didn't know the exact extent of the power of these Gastrea.

However, after the two or three days of effort, Noah learned that creatures infected by the Gastrea virus would mutate in a short time, mixing the DNA of the infected with that of other animals, turning into terrifying and savage monsters, known as Gastrea.

The more different species' DNA a Gastrea mixed, the stronger and tougher it became.

Therefore, based on their strength, Gastrea were generally classified into four stages: I to IV.

Usually, Gastrea infected with the DNA of a single species and possessing the abilities of that species were the weakest, classified as "Stage I."

Gastrea infected with the DNA of two or three species and possessing the abilities of those species would evolve to "Stage II."

"Stage III" and "Stage IV" Gastrea generally possessed the DNA of multiple species and all their advantages and abilities, making them extremely terrifying.

The Gastrea that Noah had kicked to explode upon his arrival, which couldn't regenerate, was likely a "Stage II," possessing the DNA of more than two species.

Noah had the power to defeat a "Stage II," but he didn't know how strong "Stage III" and "Stage IV" Gastrea were.

Thinking about this, Noah muttered to himself.

"This world is far from being easy or boring..."

At that moment, a commotion from in front of Noah caught his attention, drawing him away from his attempt to decipher the text in the book.

Noah looked up and saw a small girl, no older than ten, running in panic, her clothes tattered and her face covered in soot, pushing through the crowd and fleeing for her life.

Behind her, a group of people, more murderous than angry, were chasing after her, clearly targeting the small girl.

Seeing this, Noah furrowed his brow.

The people around them, initially curious and ready to intervene, stopped in their tracks when they saw the girl's eyes, their expressions turning cold, filled with genuine disgust and even hatred, and they quickly dispersed.

Noah also saw it.

The girl's eyes were a deep, blood-red color.

This caused Noah to be momentarily caught off guard, and he came face to face with the fleeing girl.

"Ah!" The girl, seemingly just noticing someone in front of her, stopped abruptly, her panic intensifying, and Noah could even see a hint of despair in her deep red eyes.

Finally, a group of middle-aged and young men, filled with murderous intent, surrounded her, grabbing her without mercy.

"We've got you!"

"Filthy monster!"

"How dare you come here!"

"Let's see how I'll deal with you!"

The girl's dirty face showed fear as she shouted.

"Let me go!"

As she spoke, something surprising happened.

"Bang———!"

The girl struggled, and the middle-aged and young men, who were clearly much larger and stronger than a girl under ten, were thrown back as if hit by a massive force, landing on the ground.

A girl under ten years old had the strength to break free from nearly ten adults?

It seemed there was still much Noah didn't know about this world...
