She leaned forward instinctively, reaching for the tempting chunk of flesh. An NPC, currently enjoying a hearty meal, noticed her movement, turned around, and bared its teeth at her like a dog:

She instantly snapped back to reality. Reason returned, and a system notification sounded:

[Ding~ Player "Song Yuan" has been subjected to a mental attack. Mental value -5, current mental value 95]

[Due to prolonged exposure to extreme cold, body temperature has dropped again. Health -6, current health 41]

What?

She was just attacked by an NPC?!

She abruptly withdrew her hand and clutched her chest, her mind racing. In this mini-game, players either eat others or are eaten. But is it really okay as long as you don't eat others?

In such a state of extreme hunger, the allure of food is immense. Even without eating, one would likely experience a kind of "psychological shock."

The changes in those NPCs further confirmed Song Yuan's guess:

Their faces were even paler, and bluish-purple or black spots had appeared on them. Most of their skin was covered by clothing, so she couldn't see it. But she guessed it was almost completely rotten.

Mutation.

The word immediately popped into her mind. The experience of cannibalism would likely be an indelible trauma for any normal person. Therefore, she deduced that even if she had participated in the cannibalism, her mental state would still have declined.

And like these NPCs, their bodies mutated, leaving them forever trapped in the instance.

These women in front of you are very likely players who failed to beat the game.

After eating an arm, the seven sat back down around the fire, as if nothing had happened. This time, Song Yuan was more careful; every time it was time to "eat," she closed her eyes, held her breath, and showed off her lung capacity in the live stream.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

.....

After more than ten rounds, Song Yuan's mental strength did not drop at all.

As predicted, Song Yuan remained undefeated. At first, the girl with the cold teeth didn't think much of it, reasoning that some people are just luckier. However, her initial indifference turned into resentment and unease, and finally, she couldn't hold back any longer.

They'd already played over a dozen rounds, and everyone had pushed themselves to the limit. Yet this woman was still perfectly dressed, clean and unharmed—why?!

"That's enough!"

She suddenly sprang to her feet and slammed her hand hard on the table:

"Why do you always win! You must be cheating. You have to give up a part of your body, otherwise it's not fair!"

Song Yuan shrugged: "What's unfair about it? I didn't lose, but I didn't eat anything."

It's like gambling. Even though she kept winning, she didn't earn a single penny. What's there to resent?

The woman with the cold teeth was so angry she wanted to swallow her whole, her white teeth grinding together with a crackling sound. But she quickly flashed a malicious smile and waved her hand dismissively.

"Fine! It's quite an achievement that you managed to pull some tricks on me. When they arrive, you'll be the first one they take away! You can go and have some fun with them!"

"Who?" Song Yuan rarely learned from them that there were other people on the train. "You mean someone comes to this carriage regularly?"

The woman with cold teeth snorted coldly, "I won't tell you, so what?"

[Sigh, this newcomer made a mistake. She shouldn't have rushed to change carriages at the beginning, and she angered the NPCs, missing out on the crucial plot points.]

[Yeah, yeah, the Extreme Cold Train is a semi-story-driven dungeon. You should talk to the woman with the cold teeth first, then gather information... wait a minute, what is she doing to the NPCs now?!]

[So, torture methods can be used directly?! Seriously, isn't this girl a bit too strong? She just dislocated the NPC's jaw with a slap, and now she's throwing him onto a fire to roast?!]

Being handsome is my sin. [I even chatted with this NPC for ages; turns out you can get the information just by putting him up there? Sigh, what a waste of my fake smile.]

【? Joe, I always thought you were a civilized person...】

[Yeah, these NPCs seem to be reset along with the dungeon, right? If you really get eaten, there's no chance to revive you.]

If she wouldn't talk, Song Yuan had plenty of ways to make her. This game even involved cannibalism, and these women weren't living, breathing human beings. Song Yuan simply knocked her unconscious with a slap, tore her sweater to shreds to use as rope, tied her up securely, and hung her on the fire.

"Aaaaah! What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?!"

Within seconds, she was jolted awake by the heat. The metal bucket was half a meter high; when lying on it, her head and feet wouldn't touch the ground. The clothes on her back quickly melted, and the smell of roasting meat soon filled the air.

Grilled meat smells so much better than raw meat that the other five people gathered around, sniffing and sniffing, their mouths watering.

"Tell me. What do you know? Otherwise, you should know what the consequences will be."

After this dinner, she estimated that these five NPCs wouldn't need to play any games for the next three days.

"No, no! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

The girl with the cold teeth was indeed defeated, and with half her mouth open, she blurted out everything at once:

After listening carefully, Song Yuan summarized it simply: after the train accident, a group of men with brute strength and ruthlessness formed a gang of bullies.

This gang of thugs would rob the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, and practically monopolized all the food.

They thought rescue would take a long time. By the time that day came, the grass on their graves would be three meters high.

So, while they were still alive, indulging in pleasure was their top priority. They not only stole food, clothes, and blankets, but also women. Young and beautiful women who were willing to submit to them could at least get some food.

Song Yuan and her group were kidnapped. "Chi Han Nu" means that in a little while, men will come to their carriage to choose women.

"They only want the most beautiful and complete ones."

As the aroma of meat filled the air, growing stronger, one woman's mouth watered so much she almost drooled over herself. It was the first time she'd ever been so terrified of unarmed players that she felt like crying.

"So, with your looks, they'll definitely choose you! That's all I know, I've told you everything, now put me down!"

Song Yuan asked calmly, "Are you sure that's all?"

"I'm sure, I'm really sure!"

As an honest and trustworthy citizen, Song Yuan put her down. She immediately shrank to the corner of the bed, while the others drooled and crowded around, only to be kicked back one by one.

"Get out! Get out! Don't touch me!"

Her words were quite revealing. Song Yuan paused to analyze them carefully. If such a gang of thugs existed, it meant they possessed abundant resources. They might even have food other than human flesh and warm clothing.

She glanced at her points: 129. Items for keeping warm and eating were extremely expensive in this instance, so Song Yuan decided to save her points for now and try to find supplies on the vehicle.

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside the carriage.

Song Yuan glanced warily towards the door, while the other six women reacted much more strongly. The woman with the cold teeth, disregarding whether she was smelling like roasted meat, quickly hugged the person next to her tightly.

The footsteps were quick, and upon reaching the door, the door was slammed violently to the right with a loud bang. The man was a middle-aged, very burly man. His complexion was far better than the women's, and upon seeing the bloody scene in the carriage, he grinned, revealing a set of disgusting yellow teeth.

"What are you all standing there for? It's my turn to serve you today."

"I'll go with you."

Song Yuan took the initiative to walk up to that person.
