The wild rabbits panic and scatter in confusion, as snowflakes drift down in the bright spring of March.
A lone withered tree stands in the cold wind, showing no sign of spring's return with its green vitality.
Clearly, it's already spring, but outside You Shui County, there's no hint of greenery to be found.
The wild rabbit herd hops amidst the withered grass, constantly searching for food, yet starving enough to squeak incessantly.
Suddenly—
One of the wild rabbits' eyes glows red, its fur cracks, oozing traces of blood.
Its body suddenly swells, spikes and scales grow from the fissures, and the fangs in its mouth keep elongating.
"Pfft~"
A nearby companion is suddenly pierced by the fangs, its hind legs kicking futilely in a wide, bloody maw.
It tilts its head and swallows, the companion entering its belly.
"Puhpuhpuhpuhpuh~"
Its reddened gaze sweeps over the surrounding rabbit herd, and this mutant creature starts slaughtering its kin.
