Summary
The space monster (Gastreya virus), which originated in the Universe, crashed onto the Earth and began to infect humanity, penetrating the body at the DNA level. Affected people turned into a kind of huge virus. In a short time, almost all the inhabitants of the Earth were infected, and the few who survived managed to gather in one colony and take cover behind a wall from a lizard, a special alloy that the Gastreya virus could not overcome.
However, ten years later, people who escaped behind the fence began to give birth to girls with a virus in their blood. They were called damned children. However, soon everyone noticed that the “damned children” had supernormal abilities that could be used to counter the Gastrea and destroy the giant virus.
