The Gentleman at the End

Chapter 65: Chapter 64 Weapon Preparation

The next morning

“Moon Skin (Patient)” × 1

“Hairy Moon Skin” × 20

The collected Moon Skins were spaced evenly on the ground.

Yi Chen and Edmund had also removed their upper garments, revealing two bodies radiating masculine hormones, yet inherently different in essence.

Edmund’s muscle distribution, contour lines, and overall proportions conformed to contemporary aesthetics.

Yi Chen’s musculature was somewhat strange, not only overall lean but also with some muscles noticeably shorter, and some unexpectedly continued where they shouldn’t.

The lines were deeply defined, seemingly related to specialized training in the past

Though it looked harmonious overall, those in the know would understand that acquiring such a physique must have involved special tempering.

To one side, the two-meter-tall Dagbert nodded repeatedly upon seeing Yi Chen’s distinctive muscles.

Next,

the two started applying the Moon Skins to their bodies using an adhesive, continuing from the upper body to the thighs and legs.

After fully applying them, they immediately redressed.

The attire made from “Gentleman’s Skin” could suppress the Moon Skins, ensuring they would not cause any pathological effects on the body.

While straightening his clothes, Yi Chen remarked, “With this, we now have enough leverage to negotiate with Mr. Lee.”

Due to the early morning hours, the Clinic would be bathed in moonlight and experience the transition between the inner and outer worlds.

For the remaining time today, everyone stayed in the Theater, conducting a brief simulation of the plan about to be implemented.

In fact,

even with the assistance of the theater manager,

this plan still had several uncertain factors, and failing to connect any of these “points” would greatly increase the difficulty later on, or even lead to a direct collapse.

Even if everything went smoothly,

they would ultimately still have to confront ‘the Pathological Gentleman – Mr. Lee’.

Even with five mission experiences, Edmund and his team had never fought against a “Severe Patient.”

As the manager said, Mr. Lee, compared to the Moonfolk of the city, was closer to the moon, able to harness more of the moon’s powers; his own abilities as a gentleman would also be pathologically amplified.

“The key to eradicating a Severe Patient lies in finding the concealed ‘Pathogen Core’ within his body.

If it cannot be found in a short time, our physical strength will gradually fall behind, ultimately leading to death.”

“I’ll take responsibility for the search.”

Yi Chen and Juliana almost simultaneously spoke these words.

“Then I’ll leave it to the two of you, as the searching methods you possess are different. Working together might help you find it faster.

If the plan proceeds smoothly, and we come into a direct confrontation with Mr. Lee… Dagbert and I will do everything we can to create opportunities for you to make contact and search.”

“Hmm.”

“By the way, Moonfolk are immune to silver, so our weapons will be significantly less effective.

William, you are still using basic weapons, which are already somewhat inadequate against ordinary Patients… not to mention causing damage to a Severe Patient.

Later, focus primarily on searching for the Pathogen Core to minimize direct encounters with Mr. Lee.”

“Hmm, I’ll manage,” said William.

Edmund was right.

In the sewer, the old man had caught William’s single-handed attack with his palm.

The success in severing the old man’s arm,

was based on wielding the axe with both arms, the additional power provided by pathological plants, the initial speed from a full sprint, and a special vision that had locked onto the center of the crevice in the dog-transformed arm.

The combination of four conditions was necessary for a successful strike.

If they were to face Mr. Lee, a Severe Patient, he might possess higher hardness, toughness, or regenerative capabilities,

relying merely on this ordinary Hand Axe might not cause any damage.

“A weapon?”

The theater owner, who was serving sausage and potato stew to everyone, happened to hear this topic of conversation. @@novelbin@@

Yi Chen smelled an opportunity and immediately pressed, “Do you have more suitable weapons for killing the enemy here?”

“I don’t have any ready-made, but I myself am skilled in some crafts and can temporarily become a weapons craftsman with the aid of disguise and performance abilities.

If you have suitable materials, you could try crafting a weapon.

By the way, how did you deal with the Gatekeeper’s body?”

“We just ‘skinned’ it; the body is still down there.”

“The fellow’s Physical form is quite robust, and the arm combined with a pet dog has considerable destructive power… Bringing his body up here will certainly be useful.

I will use the leftover theatrical physical materials and some personal treasures to try to craft a decent rodenticide weapon before dawn.”

Shortly after,

a severely dehydrated old man’s body with a sewer smell was moved to the theater’s front hall.

“The right Arm was completely cut open, but thankfully the bone structure remained intact… Let me confirm again, you prefer using the ‘Axe,’ right?”

“Yes.”

Yi Chen had been training his Physical body over the last six months and had little research or training with weapons.

Certainly not an expert,

the only weapon he was comfortable with was the Hand Axe taken from the cemetery.

“How about we craft it according to the proportions of the Axe in your hand?”

“That would be great, thank you, Mr. John.”

Yi Chen handed over the Axe that had accompanied him since leaving the cemetery and joining the organization,

The owner, dragging the body with one hand and holding the Axe with the other, went into his private quarters, and soon the sounds of flesh being torn and bones cracking could be heard.

Every so often, he would go to the main hall to drag some hairy bodies back.

Yi Chen did not insist… He stayed alone in a partition, closed his eyes for meditation, and occasionally absorbed the cerebral marrow of the early infected.

It was ten o’clock at night.

After a busy day, the theater owner finally emerged from the room, the completed weapon wrapped in cloth, still dripping with blood at the bottom.

The four people gathered in the theater’s front hall almost simultaneously smelled a strong stench of blood and quickly looked at the mysterious weapon in the owner’s hand.

“Although there are some flaws, it’s still pretty good overall… Give it a try, it should be more useful than your previous Hand Axe.”

Unwrapping the cloth.

A special Hand Axe, completely made from a body, appeared before them, providing a shocking visual impact.

[Axe Handle]- Made from a suitably curved, slightly polished, and polished spine, with bandage-like dead skin wrapped around the palm grip area, enhancing comfort and friction.

[Axe Head]- Seemingly through some kind of melting and compressing technique, mainly using the Gatekeeper’s right arm, a large amount of bone melded and compressed together. The Axe face even maintained evident, clear bone patterning.

[Axe Blade]- Specially designed in the shape of a dog’s mouth, while retaining sharp slashing properties, it was also embedded with Sharp Teeth, capable of easily tearing biological tissues and administering Big Bloodletting.

Fresh Blood still flowed from it, suggesting that neatly planned blood vessels were embedded between the compressed bones in the Axe Head, bestowing a certain vitality to the Axe.

As Yi Chen received the Axe, he observed closely,

Despite flaws in bone connections and detailed carvings, it added a rugged charm.

Feeling the residual warmth between the bones and the significance brought by the compressed bones, he couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Great stuff!”
