The black wooden box was filled with a highly dense, soft substance known as Oak Mucus,
harvested from the oak cultivation areas within Zion, artificially infected to contract a controllable tree disease.
After infection, the oaks would produce tumorous tissues, periodically secreting a sealing, malleable, and controllable mucus; the initial mucus appeared light grey, with a translucency of 30–40%.
It could be diluted or refined to create Oak Mucus for various uses.
Often used to encase infectious materials, it could effectively prevent the spread of the Pathological Characteristic while catering to both “storage” and “sealing” effects.
within the concentrated and refined mucus, lay a special firearm, primarily black with silver decorations.
Due to its “handgun-like grip” and “no stock” configuration, Yi Chen mistook it for a handgun at first glance,
only upon closer inspection did he realize it was a portable shotgun designed with a shortened barrel,
he was already gripping the shortened shotgun in his hand, even assuming a shooting stance,
The gun, retaining its vitality, ‘obediently’ stayed in Yi Chen’s hands, seemingly acknowledging its new master without absorbing any iron elements from his body, or firing on its own.
Everyone except for Teacher Zede had kept their distance from Edmund.
Their distancing was partly due to the dangerous nature of the firearm and partly because of the Death Aura emanating from Yi Chen.
“I… was just recalling some past events, sorry about that.”
Seeing that Yi Chen had returned to normal, Edmund approached once again,
Observing Yi Chen’s standard shooting posture and his command over the living firearm, Edmund said with satisfaction, “My feeling was indeed correct, William, you do possess a talent for firearms.
If you have time, you can come to my place to practice shooting.”
“Alright then, I’ll take you up on that offer.”
Having said that, Yi Chen agreed.
Moreover, holding the grip of the gun felt very comfortable, even stimulating the secretion of adrenaline in his body, making him eager to use it to kill enemies and expel diseases.
“I should probably introduce you to some information and usage of the gun, since it differs somewhat from ordinary firearms.
The total length of the gun is 419mm, barrel length is 165mm, and the weight of the empty gun is 4.01kg.
The total weight is variable; through the absorption of ferrous materials to fill the ammunition, the maximum weight can reach 10.55kg.
It doesn’t come equipped with ammunition, instead, it uses ‘corpse supply’.
Firing at metal targets or
contact with metallic objects with the gun body can obtain ammunition, with iron or rare metals derived from iron being the best. The maximum ammo capacity is [10],
with two types of ammunition corresponding to two different shooting modes:
1. Buckshot, each round contains 10 pellets, spread-shot firing. The most effective range is within five meters, maximum range 50m.
2. Rifled-slug, a single spiral bullet head, heavy and large, for single-point firing. Significantly increases effective range, showing decent performance even at close distances. Effective range 250m, best within ten meters.
There’s a ‘switch’ located where your thumb rests when holding the gun, which you can pull to change ammo types.
Considering that most of the time you will use it for close-range shooting, William, there’s not a high requirement for accuracy.
Therefore, my father transferred all the Sick Object’s Self-aiming Feature into damage amplification during its making.
The damage from this firearm is quite terrifying, and it will increase with the purity and rarity of the metal used.
Moreover, it has the potential for growth and development. Its true value and additional uses will need to be discovered by you, William.
If you want to preserve the entire corpse of a Patient, try not to use it.”
Teacher Zede, who had been listening to the information about the firearm, immediately became interested and suggested,
