Chapter 602: Living Shotgun
(The missing chapter has been filled in, hehe~)
It is a shotgun, entwined with weird withered branches and weird meat tentacles.
At the center of the gun body is a rolling eyeball, and at the muzzle grow two rows of teeth, constantly gnawing the gun barrel.
Even just a glance made Zhang Jie feel his sanity points plummet by two....
As for why supernatural objects and anomalies look so much like things from the human world, that's another story.
These two are actually... essentially no different; the forbidden land's ultimate goal is to devour the human world, and what is swallowed turns people into anomalies and objects into anomaly entities.
Although it's unknown whether anomalies can reproduce within the forbidden land, objects definitely cannot.
Behind every anomaly entity or supernatural object, there may lie an investigator's sacrifice.
Looking at that shotgun, Zhang Jie suppressed his nausea and still opened its details page.
No way, the weirder something is, the stronger it is—that's the consensus.
As for that shotgun, frankly, it's already beyond what humans can accept—just look at it, it's obviously powerful!
"(Unnamed): This anomaly entity has the appearance of a human shotgun, but it cannot fire normal shotgun shells; to use it, one must bear the highest 'Super Intensity' contamination! The stronger the contamination borne, the greater the power—proceed with caution when exchanging!"
"The projectile count is 3, the kill radius is 15 meters, and it seems to have a growth trait."
"Anomaly Grade A! It's not yet known if there are other negative effects."
Zhang Jie thought: it has a growth trait, bears massive contamination, but its price is only one-tenth of that of a Grade A anomaly object.
This.... this is simply.... simply his dedicated weapon, you idiot!!!
Super Intensity contamination? Laughable—Zhang Jie has no taboos!
Whether it's medium, high, or super intensity contamination, just see if Zhang Jie is afraid—that's all.
"Hmm... it arrived a few months ago, it seems no one dares to use it."
"It's you!"
Zhang Jie immediately hesitated no longer, spending all his contribution points, and directly exchanged for this weird shotgun at the Supplies Department,
"Are you sure....?"
"Sure."
Zhang Jie took the shotgun; its tentacles writhed, lightly brushing his arm, slick and slimy, instantly giving him gooseflesh all over.
Those eyes just stared at him, as if wanting to see whether this human before it could actually use it.
Zhang Jie took a deep breath, brought the shotgun to the Anomaly Bureau's firing range.
His hand gripped the gun handle; the sticky tentacles carefully wrapped around his forearm, firmly fixing the gun body to Zhang Jie's arm, as if fearing he might let go.
Zhang Jie didn't bother with that, attached his supernatural power to it, then pulled the trigger!
Boom!!!
A sound like an evil dragon spewing dragon breath suddenly rang out, extremely jarring amidst the usual pattering noises of the firing range.
The shotgun's pellets, like dragon breath, shot out accompanied by wind and flame, and upon hitting the target they explosively burst, blasting three fist‑sized holes.
"Holy crap!"
Zhang Jie exclaimed in delight, "This thing is literally a massive weapon!"
Don't look at him having only three bullets, but this range and power are far from being as pitiful as the description says!
Oh, it might also be because he directly bore high‑intensity contamination as soon as he arrived.
"If high‑intensity contamination is already like this, what about super‑intensity contamination?"
Zhang Jie thought so, ignoring the shocked gazes of the surrounding investigators, and pulled the trigger again—this time without attaching great supernatural power.
With a bang, Zhang Jie felt immense pressure on his arm; if not for the tentacles wrapping him, the gun would have just slipped from his hand.
Such recoil almost overwhelmed even Zhang Jie, whose physique is so strong.
As for the wall of the firing range before him, it sure suffered.
(Hehe, still not finished writing, hehe—ginseng didn't hit! Ginseng, try to return to normal.)
