Chapter 131: Capture

The plan was just as such. Yi Chen left the exhibition area with the most firearms for last, considering that this awakened creature, aware of the world and capable of thought, would certainly not sit idly by but would definitely take measures to respond. This action of gathering all the firearms together was indeed the best scenario in the plan. Thus, the explosion set by Jin could cause maximum damage and might even eliminate the target directly. This time was unlike at the village church; Jin had brought enough meat products. Boom! The explosion of the two meat cubes was just right, not completely destroying the exhibition area to prevent any residual firearms from flying out of the factory, thereby increasing the enemy’s range of movement. The target was still confined within the exhibition area. Taking advantage of the protective effects of the “gentleman’s clothes,” Yi Chen and others rushed into the blast area at the first opportunity, preparing to deal with the remaining firearms once and for all. Scanning the area. 1…2…3…4! There were still four guns intact, just as everyone was about to destroy the remaining firearms, Yi Chen’s vision quickly captured a pistol ‘in action,’ and the corresponding name emerged on the top of the gun. The gun, however, wasn’t aimed at anyone at the scene but turned its barrel towards a wall hole created by the explosion. “Trying to escape! Little grape!” Though they couldn’t make eye contact, he could still affect it with his spiritual power. The impact wasn’t enough to make the target faint, but it would certainly be affected. The pistol, hit by the spiritual shock, deviated slightly. Bang! A gunshot rang out. Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The bullet that should have shot through the wall hole changed its trajectory due to the tilt of the gun body and struck a solid wall instead. However, the power of this bullet was remarkable, piercing straight through the wall! Nevertheless, the obstruction formed by the wall greatly reduced the bullet’s speed and range. At the moment the gunshot sounded, Yi Chen raised his arm! His eyes, arm, and fingers aligned in a straight line, marking the direction of the bullet while he loudly exclaimed: “Jin!” The next second. A figure, glowing with a deep red luster all over, flashed out of the hole in the wall following the direction Yi Chen had indicated… None of those present could catch such speed with the naked eye. ℝἈɴꝋʙĘ???? Jin immediately utilized 200% of his “Body Explosion,” with a meat juice injector stuck in his neck, completely disregarding his body’s deterioration, he pursued the target at the highest speed. … In a wooded area more than three hundred meters from Wendell Town, a kinetic bullet, about to run out of energy, was about to land, but just before it hit the ground, a snake slithered by… The bullet changed its path mid-air and struck the snake’s body. In less than a second, the snake’s body was covered in a layer of metallic scales, and its mouth formed a structure similar to a gun barrel. However, due to insufficient iron atoms within, the gun barrel couldn’t fire bullets, and it could only quickly wriggle away from the area. The newly birthed self-aware creature, also possessing an instinct for survival, would rapidly heal and reach higher levels through killings if it could escape to a town with metal structures. But the snake didn’t slither far before a terrifying aura struck from behind. It instinctively turned its head to shoot, but found it couldn’t fire any bullets… the next second! A huge fleshy sack obscured its vision, instantly enveloping it. [Capture successful] Jin, not minding the explosion of flesh from his lower legs due to high-speed running, joyfully hung the swollen sack on his shoulder, “The Village Chief’s derived organ is really useful~” After a brief moment of joy, excruciating pain swept through his whole body, forcing Jin to lean against a tree for a rest. Using 200% of the “Body Explosion” rating was still quite a strain; if the chase distance had been any longer, Jin’s lower legs might have broken mid-run and blown off. By the time Yi Chen, Edmund, and the others arrived, they were shocked by Jin’s appearance. Covered in blood top to bottom, turning his entire body red, with only a layer of skin and some fragmented bones connecting his lower leg region. Yet he seemed completely unconcerned, lifting the swollen sack in his hands to boast to Yi Chen, “Got lucky, eh? The target was captured alive in a weakened state, this rare ‘Severe Disease Object’ is beyond valuation.” Everyone present was astonished by the terrifying speed Jin displayed, and regarding the captured creature, nobody had any objection; it rightfully belonged to Jin. After a brief cleanup, the squad boarded their respective carriages back to Zion, Yi Chen, Jin, Edmund, and Dagbert took a carriage specifically from the Mariano family, discussing the incident on the way. “I was planning to ask you for repayment, but I learned from the butler that you and Dagbert were out on a mission. Jin is quite interested in incidents involving firearms, and since the scene wasn’t far, we came over under the guise of ‘Cesimani’ to help out.” “It’s really embarrassing… still needing William and your help to escape danger.” “Having your attribute countered is normal. By the way, how is Miss Juliana recovering?” “Better than expected, Anna is enduring severe pain, persisting with rehabilitation training every day, her body is returning to its former state… The doctor estimated that she could fully recover in a few months.” “That’s great!” Edmund used his fingers to brush aside the blond hair blocking his vision, stared at Yi Chen in front of him, and asked in a low voice, “Your change is significant, you were even able to heal Dagbert’s physical injuries. What special events have you experienced during this period?” “Hmm… Jin and I barely completed a five-star difficulty task, and gained quite a few benefits from it.” “Five stars, full difficulty!” Edmund had already felt a certain gap between himself and Yi Chen, After this firearm incident, upon hearing that the latter had completed a five-star full difficulty event, he realized that the gap between them had unknowingly widened significantly. “I can’t keep up with you anymore… That’s too exaggerated.” “It’s nothing, I just got some benefits in the event, and I also had little Grape’s help. The really exaggerated one is Jin. She had reached the Limit of Man in ‘Coordination’ several months ago and could burst beyond human speed through Pathological Traits.” Actually, through the battle performance previously, Yi Chen had estimated Jin’s ability value and deeply felt her terror. At the moment, Jin was sizing up Dagbert’s robust physique, even poking his biceps with her finger. Jin asked curiously, “What’s your ‘Physique’ at now?” “5.” Dagbert was always reticent, simply responding with a number to Jin’s inquiry. “Your profession must also be closely related to your physique, let me guess… does it increase your muscle limit, or even your physique limit?” Dagbert just nodded, without verbally responding. “A pure strength type gentleman…” Jin suddenly became interested, pressed one hand slightly against her upper chest, leaned slightly closer to her colorful mask, and made a self-introduction gesture. “My name is Jin Almeda, I hope to have a strength contest with you~ Let’s do it on the coach, it will be a good way to kill some boring time.” Dagbert wanted to refuse, but Edmund and Yi Chen beside him nodded in indication, both of them also wanting to see this interesting contest. In the spacious family coach, a sturdy wooden table was placed in the center. Two arms, which were not of the same caliber at all, were in a handshake position, Dagbert’s arm was almost twice as thick as Jin’s, however, despite Jin’s arm appearing very slender, its muscle distribution was extremely smooth and the structure perfect, with no flaws to be found. “Get ready… start!” When Yi Chen, the temporary referee, gave the instruction, the winner was decided instantly. Jin looked at her overwhelmed arm with a confused face! Like a huge rock pressing down on her arm, leaving her completely immobile. The disparity between them at the strength level was not simply a numerical difference. Dagbert’s physique represented pure strength. “Wait…” Jin, unwilling to accept this fast defeat, grabbed a swollen pouch bag beside her. “Let’s compete once more! If you can still win against me, this thing is yours. I won’t take part in dividing the spoils, since I am not interested in non-flesh and blood objects.” Seeing Jin’s serious expression, Dagbert could only agree. As their palms clasped together, strands of eerie red silk wound up, sketching a Red Lotus pattern on the surface of Jin’s arm, even the sounds of explosions within the muscles could be heard. Dagbert distinctly felt a qualitative change in the strength of Jin’s arm, “Get ready… 3, 2, 1! Start!” The moment the contest began, Jin again unleashed 200% of her Body Explosion, streaks of blood seeping through the pores, quickly overpowering Dagbert. Just as she was about to overpower his giant arm, Whom! A burst of pure strength suddenly stabilized the situation. Dagbert’s arm became bulkier than usual, turning into hard lumps! His whole body’s veins bulged, an invisible aura of strength surrounding him. He forcibly bent Jin’s arm back to centerline. “You guy!” Jin refused to lose, she further increased the rating of her Body Explosion… 220%, 230%, 250%! Boom! A loud explosion burst out in the coach, the coach abruptly stopped by the roadside, the startled coachman quickly opened the front window to check the situation in the coach. The wooden table used for arm wrestling was completely blown apart, broken wood scattered, and a completely exploded forearm dropped on the floor. Jin, due to excessive use of strength, had her arm completely blown apart. “Ah~ My body at this stage, indeed can’t withstand a higher internal explosion… It’s really annoying, to think I still couldn’t win. I indeed fall short compared to a pure strength type gentleman, I need to properly train my body when I return. Fair and square in a bet, take this thing then~” Jin tossed the swollen pouch bag over, picked up the severed arm and reattached it, with a dejected face, she crouched in the corner, intermittently stroking Little Pay, who stared with wide eyes, fur bristled, seemingly ready to be torn apart by the emotionally unstable Jin on the spot.
