Demon Wings!
Next, Dr. Carol Foster took the three vials of serum and walked to William Stryker, who was still asleep on the lab table, to begin the preliminary work for the experiment, leaving the space for the X-Gene Serum preparation area to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo had already reviewed all the research materials of the "X-Weapon Project" and was very clear about the principle, production method and steps of the X-Gene Serum. With the actual operation just now, making the X-Gene Serum was no problem for him. He quickly used the instruments in the laboratory to make serum from the blood in the four test tubes.
However, he did not rush to enhance himself. Instead, he put away the four vials of serum and slowly walked to the experimental table.
Dr. Carol Foster had completed the preparations for the experiment. William Stryker was now lying face down on the experimental table, firmly secured, and Dr. Carol Foster had cut open the clothes on his back, exposing his entire back.
At this moment, it can be clearly seen that two butterfly wings have grown out of William Stryker's back, close to both sides of his spine. Around the area where the wings grew, in an area of about ten centimeters on both sides of his spine, William Stryker's skin has obviously changed. It is covered by a layer of black keratinous hard shell. This hard shell is bulging high, and powerful muscles are obviously hidden underneath, which is why his body can support his body to fly from the ground into the air.
Chen Mo walked to the experimental table and stopped. Dr. Carol Foster saw him arrive, looked up and nodded at him, and slowly said.
"Colonel, we may begin."
Chen Mo glanced at the three syringes placed side by side on the medical cart next to Dr. Carol Foster and couldn't help but ask.
Which one are you planning to start with?
Upon hearing this, Dr. Carol Foster looked down at the three syringes, then picked up the leftmost one, looked at the clear yellow liquid inside, and spoke.
Let's start with 'Angel'.
After Dr. Carol Foster finished speaking, she turned around and inserted the syringe into William Stryker's arm, slowly injecting the X-Gene Serum.
The X-Gene Serum doesn't work particularly quickly; the whole process takes a few minutes. Chen Mo and Dr. Carol Foster aren't in a hurry. They just stand aside and quietly watch William Stryker, who is asleep on the lab table, or more accurately, his back.
A few minutes passed quickly, and William Stryker, who had remained unresponsive, finally showed signs of change. On his bare back, on either side of the black carapace with butterfly wings growing on it, around the shoulder blades, the previously unremarkable skin gradually bulged up, as if something was growing rapidly underneath, pushing the skin up and forming two large fleshy growths.
As time went on, the two "tumors" grew larger and larger, rapidly reaching a length of nearly half a meter. The next moment, under the watchful eyes of Chen Mo and Dr. Carol Foster, the two "tumors" were burst open almost simultaneously, and two huge white Feather Wings unfolded rapidly like blooming flowers.
At this moment, two pairs of wings belonging to different creatures were growing strangely on William Stryker's back: butterfly wings near his spine, growing on a black carapace, and white Feather Wings closer to his sides, located on his shoulder blades!
Chen Mo and Dr. Carol Foster exchanged a glance. Chen Mo glanced again at the two distinct pairs of wings on William Stryker's back, smiled slightly, and said to Dr. Carol Foster with a smile.
"It seems this first attempt has failed."
Dr. Carol Foster nodded, then bent down to pick up the second syringe beside her, held it up to her face, and slowly spoke.
"This time it's bat wings."
The second dose of X-Gene Serum was injected into William Stryker's body. William Stryker, who had been given a powerful anesthetic by Chen Mo, remained in a deep sleep and was completely unaware of the changes happening to him.
This time, Dr. Carol Foster's expression became even more focused. The two types of wings before belonged to insects and birds, respectively. The two were too different, with completely different skeletal and muscular structures, making them incompatible. However, the serum injected this time was from bat wings, which had many similarities to Feather Wings, making the combination more likely.
After the second serum was injected, William Stryker's body underwent another change, but this time it wasn't new wings sprouting from his back, but rather a change occurring on the pair of Feather Wings that had just grown.
The originally slender Feather Wings were slowly widened, and a wider wing surface gradually formed between the wingtip and the wing root. In terms of shape alone, it looked more like a bat's wing. Sharp bone spurs also grew at the tips and joints of the wings, making it look ferocious like a demon.
They really did merge!
Dr. Carol Foster excitedly turned to look at Chen Mo. Her guess had come true: two abilities of the same type would fuse!
It's just unknown whether this fusion is a complete fusion at the genetic level, becoming one gene, or merely an external fusion, where in reality, they are still two different abilities.
Finding out the exact situation is actually quite simple: just inject William Stryker with another X-Gene Serum.
William Stryker has now replicated four abilities. If the last two abilities are completely fused and become one, then injecting another dose of the X-Gene Serum will only grant him the new ability. However, if they are not truly fused, and he is already at the limit of his abilities, injecting another dose of the X-Gene Serum without Logan's healing factor will only result in one outcome for William Stryker: genetic collapse and death by exploding!
"Continue."
Chen Mo wasn't as excited as Dr. Carol Foster. He simply nodded calmly to Dr. Carol Foster and then gave the order to continue the experiment.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Carol Foster also suppressed her excitement. Now was indeed not the time to be excited. This fusion did not prove anything. The final verification step was the key!
So she picked up the last vial of serum and, with a serious expression, injected it into William Stryker. The outcome would depend on this!
This time, the change happened much faster. Not even a few minutes later, almost immediately after the injection, a look of pain appeared on the face of the unconscious William Stryker.
