Collapse Iron Cosplay Battle Damaged Star Spinal Cut - Everyone Cries to Death

Chapter 4 Oh dear, I hope I didn't scare them.

The lights in the medical pod were adjusted to the softest, warmest yellow.

A very jarring fragrance wafted in the air.

That's the smell of food.

"Are you awake?"

A gentle voice sounded in my ear.

Xing opened her eyes, her vision still a little blurry.

What came into view was Himeko's face, which was full of concern, and the exquisite tray she was holding.

On the tray was a bowl of steaming cream of mushroom soup and several pieces of golden-brown, fluffy bread.

Beside him, Train Conductor Pam was standing on tiptoe, struggling to hold up a plate of his specialty – "Train Conductor's Special Interstellar Fried Rice".

"Star passenger, please have a little something to eat..."

Pam's big ears drooped, her voice filled with a cautious, ingratiating tone.

"The body needs the most nutrition when it is repairing itself."

Xing looked at the food.

Its color is enticing, and its aroma is irresistible.

If this were her before she time-traveled, she would probably be drooling by now.

but now……

"vomit--"

A strong feeling of nausea shot straight to the top of my head.

Nausea.

It's like looking at a pile of heated plastic, or a bowl of cement mixed with sand.

Xing's throat twitched violently, and she instinctively turned her head away, letting out a painful gag.

The rejection reaction was so intense that her newly reattached left arm began to tremble.

"What's wrong?!"

March 7th was startled and almost dropped the water cup in her hand.

"Is it because it doesn't suit your taste? Or... or is something else bothering you?"

Himeko quickly put down the tray and reached out to pat Hoshi's back.

Xing shrank back slightly.

She didn't want to vomit on Himeko.

She could feel the [Martyr System] within her body frantically sounding alarms.

hungry.

I'm so hungry.

Every cell in my body was screaming, wailing, and trying to devour all the energy around me.

The bone sword that was parasitizing her spine was restless and throbbing because it lacked nutrients, as if it were gnawing at her marrow.

Xing's eyes began to glaze over.

She is searching.

Looking for something to eat.

Even if it's just... even if it's just a piece of iron or a battery, that would be fine!

Sudden.

Her gaze froze.

On the lab table in the corner of the medical pod, there was a transparent isolation box.

Inside the box, a fist-sized crystal emitting a faint purple light floated.

That was a sample Walter had brought back from the rift—a high-purity rift erosion crystal.

It is highly radioactive and corrosive; even a light touch can cause skin ulceration in ordinary people.

But in Xing's eyes...

That was a "top-grade steak" that exuded an enticing aroma and sizzled with oil.

"Hungry……"

Xing made a hissing sound of longing in her throat.

She abruptly threw off the covers, not even bothering with her still-healing left arm, and stumbled off the bed.

"Star?! Where are you going?"

Danheng tried to stop her.

But the star's speed is astonishing.

That's the hunting instinct that creatures unleash when they're in a state of extreme hunger.

She rushed to the lab table, her intact right hand shot out, and smashed the seemingly sturdy isolation box to pieces!

"Splash—"

Glass shards flew everywhere.

Walter had just stepped through the door when he saw this scene, and his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

"Stop!! That's erosion crystals!!"

"You can't touch that—!!"

late.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone.

Xing picked up the purple crystal, enough to poison an elephant, as if it were an apple...

Open your mouth.

He took a big, hard bite.

"collapse!!!"

A chilling, sharp cracking sound, like teeth colliding violently with a hard object, rang out in the deathly silent medical pod.

The voice was too harsh.

"Click...click..."

Xing chewed with a blank expression.

The incredibly hard rift crystal was brutally crushed and ground down by her mutated teeth.

Sharp shards of crystal cut her mouth and tore her lips.

Dark golden blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

But this did not stop her from eating.

in contrast.

When the blood comes into contact with the crystal fragments, it makes a "sizzling" corrosion sound and emits puffs of white smoke.

She was like a starving ghost, greedily and frantically devouring the angular, poisonous fragments.

"Gulp."

Adam's apple bobbed.

That was the sound of swallowing broken glass.

"Aaaaaahh ...

March 7th let out a scream of despair.

"What are you doing?!"

"That's a stone! That's poison!!"

March 7th rushed forward like a madman, trying to pry open Xing's mouth and dig out those horrible things.

"Spit it out! Spit it out now!!"

The girl cried, her face covered in tears, her fingers trembling as she reached for Xing's blood-soaked mouth.

"Don't come any closer."

The thought flashed through Xing's mind.

Her current condition is dangerous.

When she is eating, the bone spurs on her body will instinctively pop out as a defense.

and……

The crystalline fragments and corrosive blood in her mouth would hurt March 7's delicate hands.

"Hiss—!! (Get away!)"

Xing suddenly turned his head and let out a low growl full of warning in his throat.

She gently nudged March 7th away with her shoulder.

"Bang."

March 7th was knocked down and sat on the ground, staring blankly at the stars.

Xing had her back to everyone.

She was still chewing.

"Kabeng... Kabeng..."

Each sound seemed to pierce the hearts of everyone on the train.

Walter's hands were trembling.

He gripped his cane tightly, barely managing to stay upright.

As a rational scientist, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness at that moment.

"Her digestive system..."

Walter's voice was terribly hoarse.

"Has it... completely mutated?"

"Human food... is garbage to her."

"Only this...highly toxic substance, brimming with destructive energy, could...fill her stomach?"

Himeko covered her mouth, tears silently streaming down her face.

She watched that figure from behind.

That thin figure with white bone spurs protruding from its back.

What is she eating?

She was taking poison.

She was eating stones.

And... he ate so quickly, so... wolfed it down.

It's like a child who has been wandering for a very long time and is starving to death, finally finding a moldy piece of bread in a garbage dump.

Even if there were razor blades hidden in that bread, she would still swallow it.

because……

If I don't eat, I'll die.

"belch."

at last.

The fist-sized rift crystal was completely consumed.

Xing let out a burp.

A wisp of purple smoke drifted out from the corner of her mouth.

That agonizing hunger finally disappeared.

The black fibers inside the body began to wriggle merrily, breaking down the high-energy fragments and converting them into fuel to maintain the body's functions.

"Phew... I'm alive again."

Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Although my mouth was full of the taste of blood, and my tongue was cut to pieces (it was healing).

But this feeling of abundant energy is just so amazing.

She wiped the gold blood from the corner of her mouth, somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh dear, your eating manners are a bit unsightly."

"Did you scare them?"

Xing turned around.

She wanted to explain, for example, "I actually have pica" or "This thing is actually quite crunchy."

however.

When she turned around.

She saw four pairs...
