Mid-spring and February are the season of the Waking of Insects.

It is supposed to be the season when "all the insects are hiding and the grass and trees are spreading freely", but the earth is lifeless and lifeless.

On a desolate street, a sewer manhole cover came loose for a moment, and then was lifted and moved away by a hand.

Luo Yan poked half of his head out of the well mouth and looked around cautiously.

As far as the eye can see, there are broken walls, ruins and rubble.

It was once a city with bustling traffic and constant flow.

Nowadays, there is no more noise and no trace of prosperity.

Only dust, paper, blood stains and dead bones are left floating everywhere.

There were dust and stains everywhere, and there was an atmosphere of decay and heaviness.

This is the third year after the ‘behemoth disaster’ passed.

When those huge unknown creatures that fell from the sky appeared in the world, in less than half a year, the world went to destruction and order was lost.

Those who survived lived in hell from then on.

Woo.

got windy.

The wind blew Luo Yan's dark hair, and he quickly climbed out of the well and closed the lid.

Under the cover, there is a rope tied with non-slip knots, which is constantly swaying in the wind.

Luo Yan's clothes were in tatters, covered in dirt, and he had a strong pocket hanging from his waist.

All parts of his body that would be exposed to the air were tied with circles of tarpaulin.

Only a pair of red eyes were exposed.

At this time, thunder rumbled in the sky.

It's raining.

Luo Yan likes rainy days, as rain can dilute his smell.

Luo Yan also hates rainy days. Rainwater can cause a large amount of a toxin called 'kuva' to accumulate, increasing the chance of infection and aggravating the condition.

‘Kuva’ is brought by those life forms known as ‘behemoths’.

When the blood of the giant beast comes into contact with the air, this toxin will be spread.

It causes irregular red spots to appear on the surface of people's bodies and makes the patient's eyes turn red.

When the red color spreads across the entire pupil, it means that the patient is not far from death.

Just like Luo Yan.

The redness in his eyes has almost taken over his pupils.

Wow.

The rain washed the earth, stirring up a muddy smell.

Luo Yan had already pulled down the diving goggles on his head to protect his eyes.

He also put on a waterproof helmet, which made him 'invulnerable to all poisons'.

Next, Luo Yan walked skillfully through the streets and alleys.

Passed by a dilapidated hot pot restaurant and walked past a collapsed movie theater.

Suddenly his eyes burned and he stopped quickly.

At this moment, Luo Yan's eyes became blank, as if he had lost focus.

In his sight, the street scene suddenly became a little dark.

He saw a few groups of gray lights walking forward at the intersection ahead, and would soon appear and enter the intersection.

This magical 'vision' appeared after the 'behemoth disaster' occurred.

Before the disaster struck, Luo Yan bought an ancient book titled "Building Yuan Jue" online.

According to the seller, this is a treasure he dug up from an ancient tomb at the risk of death.

It is a lost cultivation method.

It is a technique of visualization.

Luo Yan was once obsessed with these things.

After I bought it, I actually practiced according to the contents in the ancient book.

But it has no effect.

But after the 'Giant Beast Disaster', Luo Yan clearly felt that this so-called 'visualization technique' began to work.

Every time he practiced, he could feel a little bit of warmth pouring into his body, and soon after, waves of warmth rushed to the top of his head.

It didn't take long for him to discover that he could sometimes see some visions.

He can see the gray light emitted by humans, giant parasites, giant beasts and other creatures.

Just like now, he can always detect danger in advance.

Luo Yan immediately slowed down his steps and silently retracted into the trunk of a car next to him.

Only a gap remains.

After a while, some creatures as big as wolves and dogs passed by.

It looks like a tick, has a wolf-like head, a pointed head and palate, and a protruding nose.

Four or five of these things passed by on the nearby streets. They stopped from time to time and looked around.

Very alert.

This is the wolf tick, one of the parasites of the giant beast.

In the past two years or so, Luo Yan has dealt with them many times.

It is clear that these things have sensitive hearing and move when they smell fishy smell.

They are good at sucking blood, are ferocious and cruel, and live in groups, rarely being alone.

Luo Yan was not surprised at all when he encountered a wolf tick.

Because deep in the city, in the area where the city center once was, there is a giant beast dormant.

A living beast!

It has a sheep face and human body, tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like the cry of a baby.

Whenever you hear a baby crying at night, it is the cry of this giant beast.

It has used the cries of babies to lure prey to its bait on more than one occasion.

In the trunk of the car, after all the wolf ticks were gone, Luo Yan left carefully.

It didn't take long.

He climbed out of a vent.

At the other end of the vent is a supermarket.

Large areas of the supermarket collapsed, but the food section miraculously survived.

So that became Luo Yan’s ‘secret granary’.

Just because the only way in and out was the supermarket's exhaust pipe, Luo Yan couldn't bring out too much food at one time.

He didn't want to either.

Because that will arouse suspicion, attract attention, and bring death to yourself.

There will be no police to maintain order now.

If you want to live, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

At this time, Luo Yan's pocket already contained seven or eight individually packaged bread and ham sausages.

Even though these items have expired, they can still be eaten thanks to preservatives.

As for whether you will get sick after eating it, no one cares about that now.

As long as you have something to eat!

When I went back, the rain stopped.

Luo Yan's steps were also a little brisk.

These breads and ham sausages are enough for him to eat for a week.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan felt satisfied and happy.

Unfortunately, happiness comes and goes quickly.
