We Still Need One More Person!

The X factor rapidly fused and replicated within this Mutants's body, causing a genetic change to spread rapidly throughout his body, while no outward changes were immediately apparent.

After the X-Gene Serum was injected, William Stryker waited for a while but did not notice any changes. The only difference was that the heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration data on the monitor next to the operating table were slightly improved.

After patiently waiting for a while, a full five minutes had passed. William Stryker felt his patience running out, and his expression darkened. He turned and looked seriously at Dr. Carol Foster, who remained calm and focused on the monitoring equipment beside the operating table.

"Doctor! Is this what you wanted to show me?"

William Stryker's voice was filled with anger.

He was very excited when he first discovered the successful research on the mutant ability replication technology; his years of waiting had finally paid off!

However, the situation before him quickly cooled his burning anticipation. He felt cheated, and it happened to the thing he cared about most, which was hard for him to accept!

"Colonel Stryker, don't worry. His body is undergoing dramatic changes, from the genetic level to the cellular level. These changes cannot be completed quickly in a short period of time, but it's almost done."

As Dr. Carol Foster finished speaking, William Stryker gave her a deep look before turning his gaze back to the motionless Mutants on the operating table.

Several more minutes passed, and just as William Stryker was about to completely lose patience, the Mutants who had been sleeping on the operating table finally reacted.

On his naked body, the skin, which was originally normal, gradually changed. First, the color gradually changed from white to yellow, and then it began to thicken rapidly, becoming uneven and even cracking, just like cracked earth.

But the changes didn't end there. His skin, or rather, it could no longer be described as skin, because now, the changed skin on his body looked more like a shell, and this shell continued to thicken, and its surface became more uneven, like the rough surface of a rock.

William Stryker watched the changes in the Mutants, stood up excitedly, and stared at the rapidly changing skin with shining eyes.

Finally, when the changes completely stopped, the Mutants's appearance and physique had undergone a dramatic transformation, leaving no trace of his original self.

His originally thin body became incredibly muscular, his entire body swelling up several sizes like an inflated balloon, and his body was completely covered by a layer of yellowish-brown stones, as if he were wearing a thick layer of rock armor. Even his face was completely petrified, with only the outlines of his features vaguely discernible, but it looked more like a rough and abstract structure pieced together from stones.

However, William Stryker didn't care about any of that. What he cared about was that the Mutants ability replication technology had really succeeded!

They successfully copied the mutant abilities of another Mutants into the Mutants in front of them using the X-Gene Serum!

Having witnessed and truly confirmed the success of the mutant ability replication technology, William Stryker's expression at this moment was incredibly complex.

Eight years!

From the initial proposal of the "X-Weapon Project and its support from the military, to the formation of the X-Force, the establishment of research departments, the capture of Mutants, and finally the successful development of the most core mutant ability replication technology, a full eight years have passed!

William Stryker's rank was Colonel from Major to colonel, but his age also increased from his forties to his fifties, and two more gray hairs appeared on his temples!

But it was all worth it!

With the mutant ability replication technology and the Adamantium that he had already successfully researched, his "X-Weapon Project" could finally officially begin!

The day he had been waiting for was finally about to arrive!

Thinking of this, a ferocious look appeared on William Stryker's face!

However, the ferocity on his face quickly disappeared. William Stryker's expression turned serious. Now was not the time. The key was to manufacture the X-Weapon first!

Thinking of this, William Stryker immediately turned to Dr. Carol Foster and asked in a deep voice.

When can the X-Weapon Project officially begin?

The X-Force, Adamantium, and mutant ability replication technology are merely preliminary preparations for the "X-Weapon Project." The real "X-Weapon Project" is to create "X-Weapon" with multiple powerful mutant abilities, capable of countering any Mutants!

Dr. Carol Foster adjusted her glasses and looked at William Colonel Stryker spoke slowly.

"The technology to manufacture X-Weapon is now mature, but if we really want to manufacture X-Weapon, we still need one more person!"

Who is it?

Upon hearing Dr. Carol Foster's words, William Stryker replied with a ruthless expression.

"The base holds hundreds of Mutants. If needed, even ordinary civilians can be used for modification!"

Dr. Carol Foster gently shook her head and said slowly.

I wasn't talking about those prisoners.

"Then tell me who you need! I'll have X-Force bring him here right away!"

William Stryker's words were full of confidence.

William Stryker was well aware of the X-Force's strength. Over the years, whenever they discovered traces of Mutants, no matter how powerful Mutants, the X-Force could easily capture them. William Stryker had the confidence and assurance that as long as Dr. Carol Foster named the Mutants he wanted, the X-Force could capture him!

However, Dr. Carol Foster's next words were completely unexpected!

"What I need is a member of X-Force, James Howlett!"

Dr. Carol Foster's voice was soft yet firm!

It's him!

William Stryker's pupils contracted upon hearing this.

The current X-Force is no longer the "private army" that he built and controlled entirely, and that obeyed his every command!

Even if he is in charge of the "X-Weapon Project", he cannot completely disregard the law and act arbitrarily!
