Resurrection!
Scenes and dialogues played out clearly in James's mind like a movie, and the physical pain seemed to gradually leave him as he became completely immersed in his memories.
Meanwhile, his heart was still racing, and seeing that the monitor showed a heart rate of over 220 beats per minute, Dr. Carol Foster said quickly with a serious expression.
"Your heart rate has exceeded the limit!"
Upon hearing this, William Stryker also became somewhat anxious. Looking at James, whose body was shaking violently in the water tank below, William Stryker asked urgently.
"What about blood pressure?"
"260/180, continuing to surge!"
William Stryker stared uneasily at James below, muttering to himself.
"He can pull through! He can do it!"
In the transparent container above the robotic arm, the silver liquid Adamantium was dwindling, with most of it already consumed. Meanwhile, in the X-ray images, the bright yellow light on James's body had spread to almost all of his bones.
His heart rate continued to climb, quickly exceeding 300 and rapidly approaching 400, which far exceeded the limits that a normal human heart could reach.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Adamantium in the transparent container on the robotic arm was finally injected. But at the same time, James' heartbeat rapidly weakened and soon stopped beating completely. The green heartbeat curve on the monitoring device turned into a flat red line, and a piercing alarm sounded.
This sound became the only sound in the laboratory at that moment. Everyone present fell into silence. No one spoke, and all eyes were focused on the water tank in the laboratory.
James, who had been shaking violently, was now lying there motionless. In the real-time X-ray, his bones, which were originally bright yellow, rapidly cooled down and turned into a metallic white. The water in the tank, which was originally cold, was now bubbling as if it were boiling, and bursts of hot steam rose from the tank.
In the dead silence, the faces of William Stryker, Dr. Carol Foster, and other researchers were somber, and more than anything, they found it hard to accept. General Munson's face was particularly grim.
Staring at the glaring red line on the monitor screen and the heart rate reading "0" next to it, William Stryker turned away, somewhat distraught. Even James couldn't withstand the Adamantium enhancement; was there any chance that the "X-Weapon" he had been pursuing could still be obtained?
William Stryker, who was originally full of confidence and high spirits, suffered a huge and heavy blow because of James's failed enhancement, and even began to doubt whether his "X-Weapon Project could be completed.
However, William Stryker was suddenly struck by another question, which made him temporarily put aside his dejection over the failed experiment and quietly turn to look at Chen Mo was not far away.
At the same time, Dr. Carol Foster and General Munson also turned their attention to Chen Mo.
William Stryker had assured Chen Mo of the experiment's success rate, but now that it had failed, he didn't know how Chen Mo would react. If Chen Mo took his anger out on him and launched an attack, it seemed that no one here could stop him!
Dr. Carol Foster and General Munson both looked at Chen Mo with concern, but their concerns differed from those of William Stryker.
To their surprise, Chen Mo did not appear grief-stricken or angry as they had expected. Instead, he stood there calmly, just as he had before the experiment began, looking down at the boiling water tank without any sign of urgency.
If we're talking about the person who knows James best, it has to be Chen Mo. James's strength was entirely honed and cultivated by Chen Mo, and only Chen Mo truly knows just how powerful his self-healing ability is.
James' healing ability is now much stronger than in the movies. According to Dr. Carol Foster's classification of Mutants abilities, James in the movies should be at level four, just like Wade and the others. But now, under Chen Mo's influence and the enhancement of the Super Soldier Serum, his ability has reached level six. Even if he suffers severe injuries, he can fully recover in a few seconds.
In the movie, James was able to successfully undergo the transformation, so the now even stronger James will have no problem at all!
What does it mean when the heart stops beating?
Even if his heart is completely cooked or ripped out, James can quickly regenerate a new heart; the only difference is that it takes a little longer.
Therefore, Chen Mo actually had no worries about this experiment.
William Stryker and the other two were wondering about Chen Mo's reaction when a change suddenly appeared on the heart rate monitor.
The heart rate curve, which had been a straight line, suddenly fluctuated slightly.
"Ding ding!"
The piercing alarm that had been going on suddenly turned into a heartbeat alert. This sudden sound left everyone present stunned and shocked, and all eyes turned to the huge water tank that was still boiling, with billowing steam rising from the surface.
"Ding ding!"
After a while, another heartbeat notification sounded.
"Come on, James! Get back to life!"
William Stryker looked at James lying in the water tank and murmured to himself with anticipation.
"Ding ding!"
The intervals between heartbeat alerts are getting shorter and shorter.
"Heartbeat is recovering!"
Dr. Carol Foster looked at the heartbeat on the monitor, which was gradually recovering and becoming stronger, and said loudly.
Just then, the experimenter in charge of injecting the Adamantium turned off the button on the equipment and turned to report to William Stryker and the others.
"All Adamantium injection complete!"
"No rejection reaction, enhancement complete!"
Upon hearing this, William Stryker was overjoyed and excitedly looked at Dr. Carol Foster beside him.
"We did it!"
Dr. Carol Foster nodded slightly, her face also full of excitement.
"We did it!"
Standing not far behind William Stryker, General Munson looked at the normally beating heartbeat curve on the monitor, and a hint of relief flashed across his serious face as he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone thought the experiment had failed, but it miraculously turned out to be a success, a "resurrection"! From great sorrow to great joy, William Stryker was extremely excited. He turned around and walked to the side, but still couldn't contain his excitement and slammed his hands heavily on a table in front of him.
"Great! That's wonderful!"
