Chapter 59: The Emergence of Superpowers
I have to say that Lin Ming's strong desire for science or the unknown is very similar to Reed, which makes Susan's original strangeness to Lin Ming gradually fade.
"Lin, what exactly did you find?"
Lin Ming smiled, "We have all been radiated by the stream of high-energy particles, or we have been directly shattered by this force, theoretically speaking, everyone has completely died at the moment of being shattered, but why are we living so well now, as if everything never happened." In fact, this is not the case. ”
Although Susan is not a smart person like Reed, she is also a female scientist who has been trained in science, so she immediately realizes that something is not normal.
"Yes, it is impossible for a normal person to withstand such an excessive amount of radiation stimulation and not die. In fact, the intensity of the cosmic storm was enough to penetrate the protective layer of the entire space station. Exactly how we got back from the space station has no memory at all. ”
"So now it looks like there's nothing wrong with everybody, but actually, like me." Speaking of this, Lin Ming's figure suddenly shook, but in fact, it was difficult to see such a change with the naked eye.
After all, Susan's superpowers in her body had begun to awaken, so she observed it, because Lin Ming had an extra test report in her hand than just now. And this report was supposed to sit on the doctor's desk.
"You see, that's it. When I woke up, I noticed that there were some changes in my body. Originally, my metabolic ability was much stronger than normal because of that special serum. So when my body is hurt, the wound heals quickly. But now that this ability has evolved, I have a speed that is unimaginable to ordinary people. ”
Susan looked at Lin Ming, a little surprised, and she immediately reacted: "You mean, such changes will also happen to us." ”
"Yes, maybe it's a gut feeling on my part, I've always felt that our bodies are exposed to that excess of radiation, and even the force of that radiation that can break through the outer shell of a space station. So for us, now our body is actually going through a process of reorganization. It's hard to predict what will happen in this process. But what is certain is that everyone feels that their physical condition is much better than before. ”
"Yes, I used to exercise a lot, but there was no time when I felt more comfortable than I do now, and it felt like I had a new lease of life. Originally, I thought it was caused by the environment of this medical institution, but now I think that this is not the case. But I think it's right away to tell Reed what you've found. ”
"Yes, I'm just going to go to him. He wasn't in the ward, though. ”
"After this accident, Reed needs to calm down now. By the way, did Victor just come to you for the sake of serum? ”
"Yes, after all, Reed's experiment is not going on for the time being. Space stations in space are also not repairable in a short period of time. I don't think Victor has time to worry about these things right now. So he now needs a product that will allow the public to revert their attention. And this superpower serum that I have researched is exactly that. ”
"Looks like we'll have to inform Reed right away." Sue immediately thought of Reed, and although there was an accident, the trust Reid had built up over the years would not be lost because of it.
"They're already here."
Following Lin Ming's gaze, Reed and Ben had already walked downstairs, and Ben said hello: "Hey, Su." Lin, it just so happens that you are also there. How about we have dinner together tonight? ”
"Okay, but I need to see Victor. So only one drink. ”
Sue's words made Ben grumble, "yes, Victor, he's always that important. ”
At this time, Johnny, who was skiing at the ski resort with the female doctor he had newly hooked upon, found that he had spontaneous combustion in his body while skiing.
But this spontaneous combustion did not cause him to be burned, on the contrary, at the moment of falling off the cliff, this power saved his life, he felt his body suddenly lighter, and a surge of power made him turn into a flame.
This made Johnny extremely surprised, and even a little excited in the depths of his heart.
In a cafeteria near the nursing home, they began to talk pleasantly, but not about work, but about Reed, Susan, and Ben's college life.
"You know, Ben was a superstar, he was a regular on the varsity football team. Every girl wants to climb into his bed. ”
"Wow, it looks like I'm not a star now."
"Ben, you'll always be our star."
However, at this moment, Ben suddenly showed an unusual reaction, and an abnormal grunting sound came from his body, which sounded as if stones were colliding.
Reed, on the other hand, asked worriedly, "Are you alright?" ”
Ben patted his chest, "Maybe the shrimp aren't clean?" But he did look a little uncomfortable, "I think I need to go to bed and lie down for a while." ”
Since Su had already learned about some abnormalities from Lin Ming before, she immediately realized this, but Lin Ming had already pressed his hand on Ben's shoulder.
"Ben, wait a minute." Lin Ming said in a very serious tone: "It's not normal, this is definitely not the reason for the food. Ben's body is changing, just like me. Don't forget, all five of us were exposed to the radiation of the cosmic storm at the time, and Ben endured the longest and most severe. ”
Lin Ming's words made Reed pay attention to it, and Susan hurriedly said: "Yes, some wonderful changes have happened to Lin, he told me, I haven't had time to explain it to you yet." ”
But Ben's condition is really not very good, and he must have asked what the reason is at this time. But now he felt that his body was getting heavy, his energy was rapidly draining, and he just wanted to lie in bed and sleep.
Reed, after all, was Mr. Fantastic, and he immediately realized something: "You're saying that during that cosmic storm, our genes all underwent some kind of mutation. ”
Only Ben looked worse and worse, Lin Ming said: "I'll send Ben to the ward first, and we'll talk about this discovery later." ”
After seeing Lin Ming help Ben leave, Reed sighed. Mr. Fantastic hasn't figured it out yet, after all, he still has an emotion in his heart at this time with Susan. For example, Susan mentioned that she was going on a date with Victor or something.
So Reed asked, "And how are you feeling now?" ”
Susan smiled, "It's okay, thank you!" You're always very talkative. ”
Reed obviously wanted to say something in his heart at this time, but when facing the woman he liked, he couldn't say it at all. And then Susan looked at the table, "Wow, I need to go to Victor's appointment now." ”
"I'm really happy for you and Victor."
Reed's words made Susan, who was about to get up, sit down again, yes, she felt a wave of anger in her heart for no reason, "Are you really happy for me and Victor? ”
Reed obviously didn't realize what he meant, okay the spare tire man's name could be pressed on his head, "I can see that there is something beautiful between you that we shared when we were in love. ”
Susan was taken aback by Reed's words, "What? ”
"Passion, passion for science!"
When Susan heard Reed's words, she shook her head slightly, and she said in a disappointed tone, "What a bastard you are, Reed!" You never figured it out, and you never will, unless I explain it to you in quantum physics. ”
Reed hurriedly said, "I just want you to know that I really ......"
Susan slapped the truth at this time, "Reed, it's been two years, and now what you want to tell me is that you're happy for me and Victor?" Victor may have many shortcomings, but he dares to fight for what he wants! Reed, sometimes it feels really good to be needed. ”
However, at this moment, Lin Ming, who had just sent Ben back to the intensive care unit, happened to break the increasingly awkward atmosphere between the two, "Dr. Reed! I don't think this is the time to flirt. Because the crisis in us is far from being solved, the idea that it will change us more and more deeply. ”
Lin Ming's words made Susan accidentally knock a bottle of wine on the table to the ground. When Reed subconsciously reached for it, he found that his arm could be stretched as quickly as rubber.
Susan, however, was a little surprised, and suddenly became invisible, and then revealed.
Reed looked at Susan in surprise, and then at his arm that had been restored to its original state.
"What's going on with Ben?" Susan asked Lin Ming first, after all, the changes in everyone's bodies can be said to be the first to be discovered by Lin Ming. But at a time like this, it obviously doesn't matter.
"As we have seen, each of us has been 'altered' in varying degrees in excess of cosmic radiation, and it is not clear whether this alteration is benign or not. For example, my metabolism used to be faster than normal, and now my speed has become unimaginable. It's like this. ”
Lin Ming continued to show Reed his super speed, in Reed's eyes, Lin Ming's body seemed to flicker suddenly, but the wind around him still made Reed realize how high Lin Ming's speed was when he burst out in an instant.
Lin Ming already had an extra form in his hand at this time, which happened to be placed next to his hospital bed by Reed.
"In other words, this time we have become the experimental subjects of this experiment!" Reed immediately realized that something was wrong, and he could already feel that every part of his body could be stretched at will.
Susan had already been invisible once, and she now found that her arms could become transparent at any time, and she couldn't see anything. However, it was Johnny who rushed in through the door wrapped in a blanket.
Johnny is a show-off character, so as soon as he returned to the nursing home, he shouted, "Hey, you're never going to believe what happened to me just now!" ”
