"The last two sentences should be accompanied by a smile. Sincerity is the cornerstone of establishing a friendly relationship." - Ling Qiu said.
An Yu came back to his senses and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "You're right, I'm looking forward to it."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head as if he had completed his task, and his eyes slipped away to the lunch box uncontrollably.
The woman smiled and opened the lid, "Want to try it?"
"Taste?" An Yu was stunned, "You want... to give it to me?"
"Yeah, I've done a lot."
There were two stacks of semolina cakes neatly stacked in the lunch box, and the little red beans baked on them were much more valuable than his life.
There was finally a hint of life in An Yu's eyes, and his straight eyes reflected in the car window, staring at the piece of cake that was getting closer -
The engine brakes suddenly!
After a sharp scraping sound, the train stopped on the dead snowfield.
Everyone in the car was startled.
"what happened?!"
The piece of cake rolled along the slope of the floor to the back row, and An Yu was also brought to the ground by the inertia. He got up and chased after it without thinking.
There were explosions all around, and someone exclaimed: "The car broke down!"
The soldier shouted: "Everyone, stay where you are! Cooperate with us to investigate the abnormality!"
The solid iron sheet cracked from the roof of the car downwards, the little girl's collection of poems fell to the ground, and a fluorescent green mantis larva quickly slipped away.
An Yu chased the cake faster and faster until he reached the rear of the car, squatted down and took out the cake that had rolled into a blind corner.
The wind whirling around the snowfield suddenly brought a smell of acid, wrapped in the hum of the cholera people's minds, and a shadow enveloped the train.
"Abnormal! There is a freak!! Sir officer!!"
Abnormality?
An Yu clutched the cake she finally got and turned around belatedly.
The buzzing sound came from a giant praying mantis, with eyebags as big as a human head tightly closed on both sides of its snout. When An Yu turned around, it raised its sickle-like forelimbs and slashed them toward the side of the train!
The mother and daughter were cut off at the waist before they could scream, and the blood mist dispersed into the wind.
Mantis opened his eyes at this moment.
There was no eyeball in the eye sac, only the gray fleshy membrane pulsating, and it quickly closed again.
"Help...Help!!"
"Master officer..."
"no no……"
Broken screams echoed across the snowfield.
The triangular head of the mantis keeps turning, and its sickle feet are harvesting the scurrying humans.
An Yu quickly took a small bite of the cake and huddled into the corner.
He licked a small, sweet red bean with the tip of his tongue and observed the situation through the gap in the seat.
Blindness did not hinder the mantis from hunting. Soon, the last poor man was chopped into pieces. At the moment when the scream disappeared, its head suddenly twisted towards the rear of the car.
An Yu just finished swallowing the cake and his body stilled at the same time.
The whole car was dead silent.
The mantis paused for a few seconds, seeming a little hesitant, but still dragged his front legs to find this way.
The sharp scraping sound gradually approached, and the sour smell had already pressed to the top of An Yu's head——
Bang gunshot!
The soldier hiding in the front of the car took aim and shot it in the back of the head!
However, the bullet carrying Mars was embedded in the carapace, but there was no explosion as imagined.
Mantis suddenly turned around and cut off the spines of the two men with one blow. Blood sprayed everywhere. The third poor man was thrown to the rear of the car and smashed into the blind corner diagonally opposite An Yu.
He was a young lieutenant with short stubble. There was only a hole left in his left shoulder, and the arteries that branched out were spurting blood in clusters.
At the other end of the car, the mantis was picking up food on the ground - the whole car was infected, and the limbs of several corpses had formed shells. It excitedly cut open the semi-deformed corpses, and the car was filled with sticky and crunchy food. The sound of chewing.
The second lieutenant's life was passing quickly. He slowly raised his only remaining hand and made a silent gesture to An Yu.
An Yu noticed that the hand was a little stiff, like an arthropod's foot. The left shoulder began to shoot clear liquid outwards, and it no longer looked human.
He turned his head away and did not meet the second lieutenant's eyes again.
After a few long minutes, the mantis finally had its fill and dragged its huge body slowly away.
The second lieutenant opposite who was continuing to become deformed also gradually closed his eyelids. Only An Yu was left in the carriage. He buried his head between his knees, his sweaty body shivering in the cold wind.
The outside world is indeed dangerous. He must finish his work quickly and return to his kennel...
A communication bell rang suddenly.
The ringtone pierced the snowy field, and the second lieutenant's eyelids trembled as he was about to go into shock. Before he could get out the terminal, a huge shadow appeared in front of him.
It only took a few seconds for the mantis to turn around and come back.
This time, it opened its eyes - there were actually more than a dozen blood-red eyeballs in the eye sacs, making people instantly think of the poor person who had just been eaten.
An Yu held his breath and huddled in the blind spot behind it, forced to watch this abnormal eating and broadcasting live.
However, as soon as it tore open the ensign's chest, it stopped.
It seemed to be sniffing something deeply, the tentacles on the top of its head were spinning around, and its fluorescent green head slowly turned back 180 degrees, heading straight towards the place where An Yu was hiding!
At that moment, the stumbling eyeballs all turned towards the center, filled with wonder.
It was the ecstasy of finding something delicious in a trash can.
Although it was very inappropriate, An Yu couldn't help but think of the scene where he accidentally dug out a piece of thick bread from under Ling Qiu's bed two days ago - it was so ridiculous. He had always been slow to human emotions, but now he seemed to be able to deeply relate to this weird thing. Empathy.
The wheezing became rapid, and the mantis turned completely, the scythe trembled, and let out an unbearable hiss at him.
"..."
Crazy greedy.
All the cells in An Yu's body screamed to run. Under its fanatical gaze, he put the cake into his pocket and slowly walked out of the aisle. The moment he charged up and jumped up, a cold sickle hooked him from behind. Stop, slap it on the ground as lightly as a pancake!
Severe pain suddenly penetrated the bone marrow.
In an instant, mysterious whispers traveled along the nerves throughout his body, stirring up shocks he had never felt in the depths of his consciousness.
The wind suddenly became noisy, howling across the snowfield.
The piece of bean cake rolled into the corner, and the small crescent moon gap was stained with black mud.
——That was the last scene before An Yu lost consciousness.
The author has something to say:
[Waste Book Loose Pages] 01 Wind and Snow
Since the disaster struck, the world has gradually turned white.
Whenever the wind and snow blow, disordered frequencies and energy will be detected in the environment, and people firmly believe that this is the cause of distortion.
Over time, white became an ominous color.
If you see someone with white hair on the street, they are probably anti-social lunatics, so stay away.
But if he even wears white clothes, then he can rest assured.
He might just be poor.

Chapter 2 Prologue·02
Severe pain surges from the fingertips, as if a big hand is roughly squeezing the brain, and the sense of impending death is like a rising tide that drowns the person...
Dying?
An Yu opened his eyes suddenly!
Di——
The red light scanned the cold operating table.
A voice sounded from high up: "This is the black tower interrogation room in the main city. What's your name?"
An Yu was stunned, "Black Tower...how could I be in...where are you...on the top?"
"Your name."
"...An Yu."
"ID."
"AY53...21281222."
"How long have you been hiding?"
"……What?"
"What is the direction of distortion?"
"I do not……"
"What is the superpower?"
"...I am not deformed..."
"Shangfeng" is the highest decision-making organization of mankind today, stationed in the black tower in the main city.
