The laboratory.
An old biological gas experiment laboratory in Colorado from the World War II period.
It had now been abandoned.
After Ba Di completely destroyed the military base and Underground Research Institute in Nevada, General Vick transported Jenny and Slade here to continue their secret biological experiments.
After nearly four months of dissections and experiments on numerous human subjects General Vick had brought in,
Jenny not only revived Slade, but truly created a Gene Serum capable of strengthening the human body. The price of receiving the Gene Serum, however, was lifespan. Those who could not endure it might simply waste away and die.
Even those who endured had a fifty percent chance of becoming monsters. Jenny had drawn inspiration from Ba Di's genes, supplemented it with her own improved catalyst, and formulated the serum based on Slade's genes.
It reduced the number of cell divisions, increased cellular strength, granted immense power, enhanced every bodily function, and surpassed the limits of human abilities.
Lifespan in exchange for power.
Inside the laboratory, the environment was old, but the supporting equipment was state-of-the-art: heart rate monitors, brainwave detectors, blood testing instruments.
In the darkness, a pillar of light shone down upon the operating table. A faint chill drifted through the air. The temperature here was fifteen degrees.
Not too cold, not too hot.
On the operating table, refined steel firmly restrained Slade's limbs. Bloody, swollen marks from his struggles ringed his wrists and ankles.
He opened his eyes. The fluorescent lamp before him appeared as a vast halo, gradually sharpening from a blur.
This was not the first time he had awakened. Facing his circumstances, he still felt fury rising from the depths of his heart.
General Vick had made him a biological test subject.
Because he possessed willpower beyond that of
