Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 26 The Changes and Warnings of Meteor Tears

City 023 in the wilderness area.

Zhou Yang used his mental power to propel Lei Hong and the others at high speed.

Fearing an attack from flying monsters, he dared not fly too high.

After using the buildings for cover and dodging for nearly half an hour, he finally managed to shake off the restless beasts.

He manipulated a throwing knife to break open a window of a dilapidated residential building, and used his mental power to lift Lei Hong and the others' combat uniforms, shields, belts, etc., and quickly floated them inside.

After carefully laying them flat on the ground, he quickly began to check their injuries.

His father, Zhou Yong, was the most seriously injured. His entire chest collapsed, and sharp bone fragments had damaged his heart. Blood flowed continuously along the way.

Fortunately, after cultivating genetic energy, the martial artist's vitality also became extremely strong; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have lasted this long.

Among the others, Lei Hong had his right arm severed, a knife wound to his chest, and broken bones in both legs. He was also close to death, but barely retained a faint breath of life.

Uncle Liu and Chen Chong, who were standing next to him, were in similar situations.

The Japanese warriors, in order to satisfy their perverse fetishes, deliberately held back and did not kill them outright, but unexpectedly left them with a glimmer of hope for survival.

However, that passionate and fiery female gunman truly lost all hope of life and became a cold corpse.

Zhou Yang felt extremely frustrated.

To be honest, after transmigrating to this world and possessing a powerful support item like the Meteor Tear, his ego became somewhat inflated.

He thought that even if he didn't actively cultivate, the magical effects of the Meteor Tear would be enough to boost his physical fitness.

Since I am familiar with the plot, I can take advantage of the situation and avoid risks early on, so at least during my time on Earth, I shouldn't encounter any major risks.

However, reality dealt him a harsh blow!

"In the original story, Luo Feng easily cleaved through a sniper rifle bullet with the aid of his mental power. I thought ordinary firearms couldn't hurt me anymore..."

"Now it seems like a huge mistake!"

An unknown war god, never mentioned in the original work, almost wiped out their entire team with a single sniper bullet that he never took seriously!

"This is not a novel, but a real world with flesh and blood. There are far too many things that cannot be described in the novel."

"And even plot points that have appeared in novels could change because of my arrival..."

"If I continue to approach this with the mindset of reading a novel or going through the plot, and rely too heavily on familiar storylines, I might end up making a big mistake!"

In that instant, Zhou Yang thought of many things and secretly became vigilant.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his chaotic thoughts, and then quickly went to Zhou Yong's side, gently pressing his right hand on the wound on his chest.

"Meteor Tears, give it another boost!"

He silently recited it in his mind, his consciousness quickly communicating with the faint diamond-shaped mark on his chest.

By this time, the penetrating wound to his chest caused by the sniper rifle had completely healed, leaving only a faint red scar.

Meteor Tears has returned to its previous dormant state, with only a clear stream occasionally flowing out to nourish and strengthen its physical body.

When he was on the verge of death, his will to live struggled frantically, and he seemed to have established some kind of strange connection with Meteor Tear.

Recalling the description of the effects of Meteor Tears in "Stellar Transformation", he had a vague guess.

Sure enough, as he continued to direct and mobilize his thoughts, a wisp of almost invisible and colorless mysterious energy slowly flowed out from the diamond-shaped mark on his chest.

The energy flowed rapidly along the veins in his arm, eventually seeping into the wound on Zhou Yong's chest through his palm.

The moment this energy entered, the bleeding in Zhou Yong's chest stopped instantly, and the flesh and bones at the wound began to regenerate and repair themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Well"

Zhou Yong, who was originally unconscious, was quickly awakened by the cool, tingling sensation in his chest.

In just a moment, he saw Zhou Yang squatting beside him, his face showing a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Yangyang! You, you're not... cough cough cough."

He struggled to get up, but the pain in his chest made him cough violently.

"Dad, don't move yet, we can talk later."

Zhou Yang quickly stopped him.

He once again used his mind to draw three strands of mysterious energy from the Meteor Tear and introduced them into Zhou Yong's chest wound. Sensing that his life force was gradually strengthening, he quickly got up and came to Lei Hong and the others.

He skillfully guided the mysterious energy within the Meteor Tears, slowly channeling it into their bodies, and their initially weak life force quickly stabilized.

Even Lei Hong's severed arm was put back together, and five or six strands of mysterious energy were injected into the joint in one go.

The mysterious energy from the Meteor Tear contains a powerful life force. Nourished by it, the wounds on Lei Hong and the others quickly stopped bleeding, healed, and regenerated.

Soon after, they gradually regained consciousness.

"Zhou Yang, you're not dead? What's going on?"

In the dilapidated residential building, Zhou Yang roughly recounted his escape to the group, and naturally also revealed his identity as a mentalist.

Apart from Lei Hong, everyone else looked completely astonished.

If they remember correctly, Zhou Yang's physical abilities have already reached the level of a junior warrior, right?

Given that mental strength is generally two levels higher than physical strength, wouldn't his current mental strength level be—Advanced Warrior level?

Goodness, an 18-year-old advanced warrior!

Although they had just escaped death, they were all shocked when they heard the news.

Of course, Zhou Yang only revealed his identity as a mentalist; he did not reveal anything about the Meteor Tear.

As for why he was able to heal their injuries, he claimed that while browsing dark web forums, he had inadvertently learned a secret method that uses mental power to stimulate the body's hormone secretion and quickly heal injuries.

Lei Hong and the others naturally didn't quite believe this reason, but they all tacitly refrained from pressing the issue and accepted the explanation.

"What a pity for Xiaoxia, sigh."

Lei Hong and Zhou Yong glanced at the woman's body lying quietly in the corner, their eyes filled with grief.

The members of the Chasing Wind Squad have been comrades-in-arms for many years, and their bond is naturally very strong after fighting side by side for so long.

Zhou Xia joined the Chasing Wind Squad when she first became a martial artist, and it has been seven or eight years now.

She has a cheerful personality and is the only woman in the team, so she naturally receives a lot of care from everyone.

The young man, Chen Chong, who was only a few years older than Zhou Yang, seemed to harbor a vague and inexplicable affection for her.

But all of this ends here.

Since embarking on the path of martial arts, they have become accustomed to death.

However, when death happens to me again, I can't help but feel sorrow.

"Dad, Uncle Lei, there's something I need to discuss with you."

In the midst of the somber atmosphere, Zhou Yang's voice rang out.

"Yangyang, what's wrong? Tell me."

Zhou Yong and his companion forced a smile and nodded at Zhou Yang.

"Dad, your injuries still require further treatment. I think you should rest a little longer and then return to the base city immediately."

Zhou Yong and Lei Hong all nodded. "You're right, and Xiaoxia's body needs to be returned as soon as possible."

But they quickly grasped another layer of meaning in Zhou Yang's words.

"We're going back to the base city? What about you? Do you want to?"

Zhou Yang nodded emphatically, meeting the gazes of the group.

"I'm going to find those guys and collect some interest!"
