I'm building Gundams in America

Chapter 38 A Hymn to Courage

Wayne placed his hand on the corpse's shoulder, feeling the firmness of the frozen muscles, but surprisingly, nothing happened.

Has it been dead for too long...?

Wayne pushed the freezer back, glanced at the label on it, and nodded.

He died two days ago.

Before Mike and David could react, Wayne had already pulled open all the dozens of freezers on that wall, revealing the corpses inside.

Although many of the freezers were empty, there were at least twenty or so corpses.

Clearly, winter is a harvest season for St. Mary's Biotechnology.

"Bro, what are you doing?" Mike asked curiously.

Wayne didn't answer. Instead, he walked along the wall, touching each corpse one by one, saying:

"God bless you, rest in peace."

Mike and David couldn't help but show expressions of pity.

These are my own brothers seeing these corpses off.

He has a heart of gold; he's practically an angel descended to earth!

You have acquired the skill: Bicycle Driving (Beginner)

Wayne raised an eyebrow and looked at the corpse he had just touched. It was a teenage Latino homeless man whose chest had been riddled with bullet holes by a shotgun.

Time of death: 23 hours ago.

Wayne then reached over and suddenly stopped.

The old man in front of me also had his death date marked as less than a day, or even just this morning, but he didn't pick up any skills.

Wayne quickly investigated the cause of death.

cancer.

These are corpses sold from the hospital.

Wayne had already made a quick decision.

The skill of picking up corpses seems to require two conditions to be met:

Newly deceased within 24 hours; died a violent or tragic death.

Those who die in hospitals from illness or old age do not count.

This is quite in line with the setting of the Demon Realm dungeon system; one must die a gruesome death for their ethereal soul to linger and retain some skill fragments.

At this point, only one corpse remained.

This is a teenage Black boy with a gunshot wound to the chest, his face still showing a hint of childishness.

Normally, it would only be the age of junior high school.

Wayne stepped forward and gently touched the back of the other person's hand.

You have acquired the skill: Handgun Use (Beginner)

Wayne felt a chill run down his spine; his usually calm heart finally stirred with a hint of excitement.

finally come!

In a region like the United States, known for its intense gunfights, basic combat skills still revolve around firearms.

In American Iai, you can't become a martial artist without a gun, and you can't practice Taoism without bullets.

A series of images of shooting glass bottles and jars in the street and engaging in handgun fights with gang members instantly flooded Wayne's mind.

Although his marksmanship is relatively basic, he can improve it rapidly with the skills he currently possesses.

Mike and David were a little confused by Wayne's series of actions. Just as they were about to ask questions, Wayne called them over to turn off the freezer.

Once the last freezer was closed, Charlotte entered with two staff members, both wearing white coats and masks.

Two staff members began skillfully handling the body, while Charlotte pulled out a roll of money and handed it to Wayne, saying:

"Alright, Mr. Wayne, thank you for your work. I hope we have a pleasant working relationship."

Wayne took the money, put it in his pocket, nodded, and said:

"You're welcome. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Goodbye."

He then waved his hand, and under Charlotte's watchful gaze, led Mike and David back the way they came and left through the back door.

After Wayne and the other two left, Charlotte walked with satisfaction to Alexander the Great's body and asked the staff who were conducting the examination:

"How is it? Is it poisonous?"

The other party had already finished taking the sample, shrugged, and said:

"Actually, there's no need for testing. Based on my experience, I can tell without a doubt that this is an excellent body that has not been contaminated in the slightest. Especially his skin, which has no tattoos and is almost completely undamaged... top-quality."

He paused, then looked at Alexander the Great's body and said regretfully:

"It would be even better if it had just died; so many good organs, it's such a waste..."

The sewage in the sewers didn't just wash away a life, it washed away a pile of US dollars.

After receiving confirmation, Charlotte stubbed out her cigarette and then made a phone call:

"Officer Witt? This is Charlotte. Our body handlers just brought in a body. Yes, your police have verified the identity, it should be..."

She picked up a document and glanced at it:

"...The one with identification is called Alexander the Great. His stepfather seems to still be alive, but I hope he becomes an unclaimed corpse, you understand..."

"Okay, thank you."

After making the call, Charlotte said to the subordinate she had just spoken to:

"That's enough. Contact the buyer immediately and tell them we have a flawless corpse."

He paused, stubbed out his cigarette in the mouth of a corpse, and then said:

"Also, tell Nature House that they're making a batch of human leg lamps, right? We have the raw materials now."

……

An eighteen-year-old Toyota drove out of the backyard of St. Mary's Biotechnology Company and sped along the streets of Seattle, with black rap music playing on the radio.

"Hahaha, damn it, if we had known those severed legs and arms were so valuable, we should have fished out more from the sewers!"

"My God, three thousand six hundred and sixty dollars in just one night! Thank God! Brothers, we're rich!"

Mike and David were cheering and excitedly driving along.

You have to understand that they earn at most a few dozen yuan a day. After working hard for a month, they can only have a few hundred yuan left after paying off loans and expenses.

Especially Mike, whose house burned down and he still has to pay the mortgage.

I earned 3,600 yuan in one night, and it feels unreal.

[Brave adventurer, Witch Doctor! You survived ten minutes in the Bone-Eating Demon's lair and emerged unscathed—a hymn to courage!]

[Experience points +20]

Wayne was overjoyed and quickly looked at the panel.

Experience points: 10/100

Free attribute points: 1

He has finally condensed another free attribute point!

However, Wayne did not rush to add this attribute point, but instead kept it for the time being.

With this attribute point, even if you have an extra life, you can at least block one fatal attack.

Let's talk about it when a real emergency occurs.

Then I looked at the panel.

Battle Pet: Wilderness Hound (Level 1, 50%)

Status: Minor injury not yet healed

This huge array of skills is simply dazzling.

Of all the skills I picked up today, only the [Pistol Use] skill is truly useful.

The drop rate of such offensive skills is extremely low, which is why they are so valuable.

Without hesitation, Wayne placed [Pistol Use (Beginner)] into the enhancement slot, and then placed the three skills [Large Model Basic Structure (Specialization)], [Lawn Mowing (Beginner)], and [Bicycle Driving (Beginner)] into the sacrifice slot.

Immediately afterwards, they chose to offer a sacrifice.

Offer me a sacrifice!

A flash of golden light appeared on the panel, and all the skills in the sacrifice gauge disappeared, leaving only the [Pistol Use (Mastery 20%)] skill in the enhancement gauge.

A flood of memories of pistol practice and combat flooded his mind, and almost instantly, Wayne had become a sharpshooter proficient in pistol combat!

The use of handguns includes not only shooting accuracy, but also various combat concepts and methods.

What comes next?

Gunfighting?

Just then, a burst of flashing police lights and wailing sirens appeared beside them, followed by the sound of a loudspeaker:

"Vehicles ahead, please pull over for inspection!"
