Chapter 149: Brothers Fight, a Passerby
Before the peace summit, the dam base of Lake Akalia took the lead in launching the "X Weapon" transformation program.
There were two people involved in the experiment, Wolverine Logan, and his irascible old brother Victor the Saber-toothed Tiger.
The former is because of love and wants to better protect the women around him.
The latter is because of ...... Brotherly feelings?
The saber-toothed tiger couldn't tolerate losing to his stupid brother, so he was willing to get involved.
Teslak and Stryker can be said to have accurately grasped the thoughts of the mutant brothers.
Luke had nothing to say about this.
People have to pay for the choices they make, and pain is one of them.
Logan, who is infused with Edelman alloy in his body, can be directly promoted from a tough fighter in the second and third lines to a first-line level.
In addition to the omega-class mutants, there are also natural nemesis like Magneto, and the bald professor's near-incomprehensible mind control.
The other opponents can basically be tough.
To put it simply, it is more resistant to beating.
"Mr. Major General, although I have minimized the danger, there is still a possibility that there will be accidents during the renovation process."
Teslak had been vaccinated in advance, and he didn't want to be blamed for his failure.
Although it is said that the concept of the X weapon program has been proposed for a long time, and it has been repeatedly refined and calculated by data models.
But, as Murphy's Law says, no matter how unlikely something bad is, it will always happen.
"Who do you think more of?"
Luke asked calmly.
In his sight, the brothers Wolverine and Sabertooth Tiger were stripped naked from top to bottom.
Several female researchers, trying to maintain a working attitude of not squinting, traced the surgical lines for them.
It won't be long before a needle controlled by a robotic arm is inserted through these places.
The red-hot needles pierce the bodies of Wolverines and saber-toothed tigers, and then inject a hot liquid.
"Logan."
Teslak looked at Stryker, who was standing behind him excitedly, and smiled, "You think so, William. ”
"Victor is more like a beast, he is more crazy, more cold-blooded, and can slaughter his enemies without changing his face, whether they are old people, children, or weak people who have no ability to resist."
"From this point, he is also more in line with the requirements of the military and the definition of 'weapon'!"
Teslak stared at the saber-toothed tiger with a beard and a manic and rebellious look in his eyes, as if admiring a top-notch product.
"Then why is the most suitable person in your mind Logan?"
Luke propped his hands on the railing, and he stood on the second floor, below which were the busy researchers, and the mutant brothers lying on the cold iron frame.
Logan kept his sanity. Although he is also a fierce beast, he is not as crazy as Victor. Major General Cavill, sometimes calmness is more important than coldness. ”
Teslak commanded the researchers, ready to begin the modification experiment.
The Edelman ore needs to be kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit before it melts into a liquid state.
As long as it is cooled and formed, it can no longer be destroyed.
Next, follow Teslak's idea.
It is the high-temperature melted Erdman alloy injected into the bodies of Wolverines and saber-toothed tigers, forming an indestructible steel skeleton.
They all have extremely strong self-healing abilities, so the severe damage caused to the body in the transformation experiment can be recovered.
This is the key reason for choosing the two.
Ordinary people who accept such a transformation will not be able to withstand the final stage at all.
"Here we go. Major General Cavill, do you have anything to say? ”
At this time, Teslak hadn't forgotten to curry favor with his boss.
Luke waved his hand, he was not the leader of the future.
I like to speak in crowded places to build my image.
"Based on the experimental model you built with data, what are the chances of success for the two of them?"
Luke watched as the iron frame sank into the water, Wolverine and Sabertooth looked at each other, and the robotic arm connected to the many transport lines began to operate.
"Logan is sixty percent, Victor is about forty percent."
Teslak replied.
Truth be told, this success rate is not low.
In the original timeline, the X weapon program, presided over by William Stryker, may not even be forty percent.
"Once successful, they may fall into a state of madness because of the painful memories left in their brains during the period when they have just woken up...... Major General Cavill, do you want to avoid it later? ”
Teslak habitually associated Luke with the Pentagon generals.
After saying that, I realized how stupid I was.
This is the superman who fought Namor and defeated Atlantis!
Even if Wolverine and the Sabertooth Tiger complete the transformation experiment, they may not be Luke's opponents.
"There's no need for that."
Sure enough, Luke rejected the offer.
"What are you going to do? I don't see any mention of containment methods after the completion of the modification experiment. ”
"Uh...... Brainwash. Victor is okay, Rogan is too self-conscious, not conducive to being a 'weapon'. ”
Teslak replied hesitantly.
"Is this my permission, doctor?"
Luke looked calmly at the diminutive dwarf scientist, and there was no joy or anger on his face.
"Sorry! I just thought ...... Doing so is more beneficial to S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Teslak trembled, his heart filled with fear.
He knew that this young major general, Mr. General, did not like others to make their own decisions.
"Don't take it as an example."
After a long few seconds, Luke's voice came.
Teslak, who was so frightened that his legs were weak, relaxed, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Brainwashing is not necessary, I want a fighter, not a machine. Logan and Victor will be a sharp knife in the S.H.I.E.L.D. field team in the future, puppets who obey their word, useless to me. ”
Luke tapped a few words, continuing to focus on the modification experiment.
In addition to being a scientist, Teslak also wants to transform into a businessman like Howard Stark.
So, he will always take into account the needs of the Pentagon.
For the usefulness of mutants, it is more inclined to the level of "tools" and "weapons".
"Let's get started."
Luke said lightly.
……
……
Five minutes later.
The transformation experiment begins.
The researcher stands in front of the console.
The rows of long steel needles emitted an icy glow.
The sound of a drill bit spinning echoes through the bottom layer.
The red-hot needle pierces the skin and penetrates deep into the skull.
The viscous and hot Edelman alloy liquid is slowly injected into the body along the delivery line.
The terrible pain almost instantly broke Logan's psychological defenses, and he couldn't help but want to raise his head and scream, but the respirator was stuck in his mouth, and he could only spit out a series of bubbles.
His eyes were filled with tyrannical emotion, like a beast being stimulated to be ferocious.
Muscles tense and thick blood vessels burst out on the surface of the skin.
Thankfully, Trask was prepared.
Before the experiment began, Logan and Victor were given metal shackles that bound them.
In case they get out of control, they break free of the iron frame and interrupt the process.
"Doctor, their heartbeats are starting to rise, and so is their body temperatures!"
The researcher said nervously.
The embodiment of life displayed on the screen is close to collapse.
Replaced by ordinary people, it has long been at the moment when it is injected with Edelman alloy liquid.
The cells undergo rejection, the tissues dissolve, the blood evaporates, and they die on the spot.
But Logan is different, he has an extremely strong ability to heal himself.
Therefore, he not only has to endure the extreme pain caused by the destruction of his body, but also has to endure the repair process over and over again.
It's a terrible torture.
If you don't have a strong will, you can't carry it at all.
Victor on the other side is not much better.
Sharp nails, scratching the iron frame lying under him, as a way to vent his inner rage.
Due to the painful process of the modification experiment, and the fact that they all have the ability to heal themselves.
Therefore, it is basically unrealistic to inject anesthetics.
"Keep injecting."
Teslak was unmoved.
The transformation experiment has only reached 20 percent.
The hot Edelman alloy liquid had just covered the skull.
Next there are the torso and limbs.
"Heartbeat 190...... It's already 200! ”
"Blood pressure is starting to spike too!"
“……”
As the data of the vital signs came out, the expression on Teslak's face became more and more solemn.
He somewhat underestimated the pain of the transformation process, and it seemed that Logan and Victor might not be able to withstand it.
"Major General Cavill, look ......"
Teslak looked up at Luke, who was speechless.
"Go on. This is far from their limit. ”
Luke appeared more calm than everyone else, using his super vision to scan Wolverine's and saber-toothed tiger's bodies like X-rays through the top layer of their skin.
The Edelman alloy liquid, of course, destroys tissue cells, evaporates blood, and causes great damage to the body.
But at the same time, it is also blending into the body that is constantly being repaired, covering the bones, becoming a part of it.
"Are you sure? Their heartbeats have reached three hundred, their body temperature continues to rise, and if this continues, they are likely to have a genetic breakdown and die. ”
Teslak hesitated, he still hoped to try to ensure the survival of Logan and Victor, at least one of them.
In this way, more data can be collected for the next step of the transformation plan.
"Doctor, I thought you'd have more confidence in them."
Luke said softly.
"Don't give up when you're just one step away from success."
Teslak's face was heavy, and his immediate boss had said so, what else could he do.
Another five minutes passed.
Edelman alloy liquid has covered the torso.
The progress of the retrofit experiment has been pushed to 50 percent.
The vital signs of the two are not curves that normal people can understand at all.
Heartbeat, body temperature, blood pressure, ...... The data goes up and down.
"Stop Victor's renovation. Logan continued. ”
Luke took over Teslak's reins and began to call the shots.
Although the heartbeat line on the screen falls as fast as the stock market, and then rises sharply.
But Logan still has room for transformation, and his grumpy brother is indeed at the limit.
Victor's injection was interrupted, and the iron frame slowly lifted out of the water.
He was emitting a lot of heat, which was caused by high body temperature.
The Edelman alloy liquid begins to solidify and form in the body.
Since then, Victor the saber-toothed tiger has had a hard skull and an indestructible torso.
Unfortunately, the part of the limbs did not continue.
Ten minutes later.
The injection is complete.
Logan became a veritable Wolverine.
It's just that his heartbeat has completely stopped and turned into a straight red line.
"Major General Cavill, this is also no ......"
Teslak wanted to say two words of comfort dryly, but only received a "shut up".
Luke stared at Logan intently, and the entire laboratory was silent, and everyone held their breath and didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Drip!
The straight red line fluctuated slightly.
The curve turns green.
The heartbeat, which represents the vitality of life, begins to make a powerful voice again.
Teslak and Stryker, who were standing behind, looked at each other, both of them with excited looks on their faces.
"Ho Ho ......"
Logan, who was soaked in the water, opened his eyes, and the bones of his hands grew a pair of alloy claws.
He bit the respirator stuck in his mouth and let out an angry roar, like a wolf king who provoked ferocity.
When Logan was conscious, his mind was full of manic emotions that were stimulated by pain.
Straight from the pool used to cool down, he exposed his tall, muscular body to Luke.
"Hey, that's spicy."
Luke tilted his head, he really didn't have much interest in men's nakedness.
"Put the researchers back and close the door to the ground floor."
Teslak did so, his eyes filled with excitement.
The killing machine he wanted, halfway there.
"Don't be in a hurry to be happy just yet, if you stand in front of Logan, the first thing he will do is to cut off your head."
Luke poured a scoop of cold water down, dousing Teslak's inner agitation.
"Wake up Victor and let the two brothers fight."
At this time, it is useless for anyone to reason with Logan.
The residual painful experience in his brain stimulated him, completely stimulating his inner irritability and bloodlust.
There's no better way to get rid of all of this than to get into a fight.
A semi-finished Edelman alloy version of the saber-toothed tiger, against a full-fledged Wolverine.
It seems to be a really good show.
"Painful ......"
As a grumpy brother, the first thought of the saber-toothed tiger when he opened his eyes was not "who am I, where am I, what am I going to do", not ", it hurts".
The second thought is simpler - "Who is this naked man in front of you"?
And then there's - "Whoever it is, him first"!
The two brothers had a surprisingly identical idea.
didn't even say hello, and just pounced.
Whew!
Alloy claws, cold light flashing.
Pierced directly through the chest of the saber-toothed tiger Victor.
The latter was not afraid at all, held his head high, and pushed forward with all his might.
Boom!
Two Edelman alloy skulls collide!
Logan staggered back, shook his dazed head, and scuffled with his brother.
Two mutants with self-healing abilities, the fight is very boring, and there is no ornamentation at all.
Because each of them is not afraid of injury, there is only offense, no defense.
"You keep fighting, see what I'm doing?"
The fierce fight lasted less than a minute, and the two beasts suddenly stopped and looked at Luke on the second floor.
The latter looked innocent and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was just a passerby who ate melons.
Wolverine and Sabertooth glanced at each other, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.
Each roared angrily and threw himself on all fours to the second floor.
