Cyber, Extraordinary and Extraordinary Adventures

Chapter 6 Special Item: Silver Bullet

Do you need to retrieve the body's belongings?

Yu Jing made up his mind without much hesitation, bowed three times to the corpse, and then reached for its belt.

To survive in this foreign land, you must not miss any items that can help you move around; otherwise, you would be irresponsible towards your own life.

Besides, since the person is dead, these things should be ownerless.

He picked it up!

He had already shown his utmost sincerity by bowing three times.

Suppressing the pungent stench, Yu Jing approached the corpse and deftly unbuckled his belt, inevitably having to tug at the body to make room.

Perhaps because I had been frightened too many times before, raising my threshold, I am adapting very quickly now.

To put it bluntly, the corpse in front of us is actually quite handsome compared to Kadori.

Carefully pulling off the unbuttoned belt, Yu Jing's attention was entirely focused on it, and he didn't notice the unusual movements that were emerging under the mask wrapped around the neck of the corpse as he came into more contact with it.

Holding the belt in his hand, Yu Jing was surprised to find that compared to the common belt styles in the world, this wide cowhide belt was obviously thicker and thicker. The overall texture was black and hard, the leather surface was dry, cracked and wrinkled, the edges were worn and rough, the metal buckle was dull and covered with scratches and dark red bloodstains, and the buckle had long been worn smooth.

Several thin leather straps were crisscrossed and tightened around his waist. A hard leather revolver holster with reinforced edges hung on his left side, next to which was a row of ammunition pouches, with cylindrical leather wrapped around a metal lining.

Currently, only two portable magazines, each filled with six bullets, remain inserted on top.

Yu Jing had seen similar objects in movies in his previous life. When loading, you only need to take them out, align them with the cylinder of the revolver, press down, and then remove the end device to complete the loading in one go, which can save a lot of time.

On the other side is the scabbard of a tactical straight knife and short leather cords and slings for securing throwing knives or smoke grenades.

There are no superfluous decorations; every detail is filled with killing and practicality.

The person in front of him was clearly not a newcomer like Yu Jing who was venturing into a foreign land for the first time, but an experienced explorer who had been through many battles. The marks on his belt were the best proof of this, and if you got close, you could even smell the mixture of gunpowder and blood.

This time, however, they were unable to escape unscathed.

Aside from all of the above, what Yu Jing cared about most were the two pendants on his lower back.

A square metal box, its surface engraved with patterns like those on a revolver.

A palm-sized, brownish-red shoulder bag, with two pencils that were already half-used secured to the outside by a thin leather strap, and inside the bag was most likely a notebook.

Just as Yu Jing was about to open them to examine them, a strange noise suddenly came from the surface of the corpses, causing him to take two steps back.

His gaze shifted to the corpse, and he noticed that coarse, stiff gray hairs had begun to grow on its head, and the mouth covered by the mask seemed to be wriggling, as if something was trying to crawl out from inside!

"Hey! That's going a bit too far. You've only been dead for a few days, it's not like it's some ancient tomb. Do you think you can come back to life just because you found a belt?"

The scene before him made Yu Jing's scalp tingle. He never expected that "zombies" existed in this alien space.

Is this still a hairy corpse?

I should have lit a candle first!

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed his belt, turned around, and ran out of the tavern.

Without a peach wood sword at hand, he had no intention of dealing with a zombie in this room.

To everyone's surprise, even after rushing out of the tavern, there was no movement behind them. Looking back, the door was still half-closed, with no sign of any monster rushing out. Even the monster detection device on the Torch Watch did not give any warning, and the pointer was still at the bottom.

After a brief hesitation, Yu Jing mustered his courage and returned to the tavern, standing on tiptoe at the door to take a look.

The body was found to be covered in hair, but remained motionless, showing no signs of further movement.

Is it not a zombie coming back to life?

Yu Jing looked down at the belt in his hand, lost in thought.

The sudden change in the corpse was clearly not a coincidence; it was most likely influenced by some external factor.

In his view, there are only two possibilities.

Firstly, the corpse came into contact with the scent of a living person, which caused it to undergo a mutation.

Secondly, the mutation of the corpse had already begun, but the belt had a certain suppressive effect, which delayed the mutation.

Considering the fact that the other party was seriously injured, fled here, and then chose to commit suicide by shooting himself, Yu Jing was undoubtedly more inclined to the second possibility.

He guessed that the man initially wanted to find a place to heal his wounds, and the two used injections were evidence of that.

However, during the treatment, he discovered that his body had developed some unknown disease, and in order to avoid irreversible consequences, he was forced to end his life.

It's not difficult to verify this hypothesis.

Yu Jing left the tavern, and by the moonlight, opened the satchel and metal box on his belt.

There was indeed a notebook in the bag, which was unsurprisingly the tool that person used to record information from foreign lands. Yu Jing didn't intend to spend time looking through it at the moment, but instead turned his attention to the contents of the metal box.

"Just as I thought..."

The metal box contained three rows of specially made, bright silver bullets.

Although their caliber is no different from other revolver bullets, the spiral pattern and Holy Cross mark on their surface highlight their special nature, and there must be a reason why they are specially stored in metal boxes.

The metal box should have been able to hold fifteen silver bullets, but now only nine remain.

Yu Jing believed that one of them was inside the corpse's brain.

When he picked up the silver bullet to examine it closely, the Torch Watch reacted first.

A red exclamation mark appeared in the "Items" section on the screen.

Upon clicking, it was discovered that information about the bullet had already been loaded into the Torch system.

Item Name: Silver Bullet

[Type: Consumable]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Special Effect: Holy (Extremely powerful suppression effect against monsters with negative energy)]

[Consumable: None]

[Usage requirements: Must be equipped with a firearm of the corresponding caliber.]

As it turned out, Yu Jing's guess was correct.

It was these silver bullets that suppressed the abnormalities inside the corpse, keeping it dormant in the clinic until now.

It didn't erupt until the belt was removed.

Having figured this out, Yu Jing didn't go back in and turned to leave directly.

On the one hand, there is a concern that the corpses will continue to mutate and eventually turn into zombie-like monsters that rush out.

On the other hand, the abnormal changes in the corpses suggest that there is a high possibility that a virus-carrying monster is lurking in the dark forest outside, and who knows if it will be attracted by the commotion here.

Yu Jing didn't want to stay here forever like the person in the room.

The rewards from this beginner trial mission have far exceeded expectations.

Regardless of the intelligence value recorded in that notebook, the revolver and silver bullets alone were enough to elevate his combat power to a new level, giving him more confidence in completing this novice trial mission.
