Klaw's men were quite efficient. Before long, six volunteers were delivered.

Since data needed to be collected and differences between races had to be observed, two each from the Black, Yellow, and White races had been brought in.

However, likely considering Shen Fei's Chinese heritage, Klaw had sent only Japanese volunteers among the Yellow race.

In the laboratory, Logan awoke once more after the drugs wore off. Seeing the six people being wheeled in, pity flashed through his eyes. This demon...

He was actually still conducting human experiments. Given his own identity, along with his experience of being experimented on by Stryker, he would kill every scientist who used human beings for experiments on sight!

"You butcher!"

Logan growled.

"A wolverine who fought in several world wars and left heads rolling everywhere is calling me a butcher. What an honor."

Shen Fei shook his head and gestured for the assistants who had wheeled in the volunteers to strip them all naked.

"I've already made it clear that this experiment carries a high risk of death. If you die during it, a sum of money will be sent to the accounts you left behind."

Shen Fei spoke.

"Heh!"

The two Japanese nodded repeatedly, and the other four also nodded to indicate they had no issue with it.

"Then let's begin."

After saying that, Shen Fei picked up a scalpel and syringe and began replicating his previous experiment.

Before long, all sorts of agonized screams filled the room. Having various tissues continuously extracted was unbearably painful, and to avoid affecting the nerves and experimental data, Shen Fei had not even used anesthetic.

Listening to the howls around him, Shen Fei remained completely unmoved. Once he entered an experimental state, he would become absolutely calm.

In that state, even he himself could become experimental material.

Besides, these six people should have anticipated this long ago. Such enormous compensation was essentially buying their lives—unless someone got lucky and endured it.

"Subject 2: Blood glucose is too low, causing the Self-Healing Factor's recovery speed to increase slowly..."

"Subject 4: Excess protease in the Tissue Fluid confirmed. The Self-Healing Factor cannot fuse..."

"Subject 1: Fusion speed normal. Continue increasing the dosage and test the remaining Tissue Fluids!"

A continuous stream of experimental data was entered. Although Shen Fei possessed the Spirit of Evolution, which could negate the limitations on fusing extraordinary powers and the conflicts between them,

that did not mean he could fuse with anything at will. It had to be something capable of granting abilities, such as this Self-Healing Factor.

If someone without an X-Gene received an injection of this Self-Healing Factor, there was a high chance that their cells would undergo apoptosis during the healing process, or develop uncontrollable cancerous growth.

Because they did not have the X-Gene. But Shen Fei did.

As for overcoming ability conflicts, it meant he could wield both Human Torch's and Iceman's powers at once.

It was as though his body contained unlimited card slots. As long as a card could be made, it could be installed in his body.

"Gag them!"

Shen Fei frowned. Their constant screaming was affecting some of the assistants.

Several rags were stuffed into the volunteers' mouths. "Look at him—he hasn't made a sound! Why are you screaming so miserably?"

The scalpel in Shen Fei's hand precisely sliced open one Black man's skin.

The Black man's face turned white from the pain, as did the others'. Once they recovered, they looked at Logan, from whom Shen Fei was extracting various fluids almost every moment.

Yet he merely sat there blankly, as though nothing had happened at all.

What kind of willpower was that?

Too much Ether has been injected...

Shen Fei looked at the dazed Logan and muttered inwardly. Because he needed frequent injections, Logan's resistance to Ether had rapidly increased over a short period, requiring ever-larger doses to knock him unconscious.

Sometimes, with a slightly heavy hand, Shen Fei injected too much, and Logan would be left blank and dazed even after waking up.

He was already considering how to deal with Logan. Catching this wolf had been easy; handling him was difficult.

For the past several days, Shen Fei had remained in the laboratory.

Drawing on Hydra's vast body of knowledge and the data from so many experiments, Shen Fei took a deep breath.

He had already cracked most of the genome sequence. If he wanted to create the Gene Infection solution now, he could do it. Moreover, after compiling and analyzing all the data,

it should have universal applicability.

As for the six volunteers on the operating tables serving as White Mice, they were already barely clinging to life.

Yet Shen Fei was still using various methods to keep them alive.

His hands were precise, his scalpel incredibly steady. He would not touch anything that he felt might endanger their lives, even if it made the procedure more complicated.

Because he still needed them for the final demonstration of his results.

Shen Fei held several bottles of solution. Most contained various fluids from Wolverine along with several binding agents. Since he was using Gene Infection and did not yet have the Molecular Scissors, he could not make any edits.

So Logan was still the raw material.

In his hands, one bottle of solution constantly changed color. More liquids were continuously injected into it, refined, and finally placed into a shaker.

"This should be it..."

Shen Fei opened the shaker. Inside was a bottle of solution that glittered like a purple gemstone. If his formula calculations were correct, this was the solution he wanted.

"Experiment Subject No. 1, inject it!"

Subject 1 was a Black man. As the syringe was steadily pushed in, his face instantly turned pale, and he snarled, "You bastard, just give your daddy a quick death!"

Shen Fei paid him no attention. His scalpel lightly drew across the man's skin, creating a wound that bled profusely. "Failed?"

No.

Soon, under Shen Fei's gaze, the blood that had been flowing from the wound began to stop.

Moreover, the wound quickly scabbed over, fell away, and finally left behind a faint scar.

Shen Fei raised his brows and let out a breath. "Success! Project Phoenix 1 is a success!"

"President Shen is incredible! Are you God?"

"President Shen actually created a Super Hero!"

"President Shen truly is a genius!"

The assistants around them could not help cheering loudly at the sight. The other five subjects had also seen everything clearly and were so shocked that they nearly forgot their own pain.

Had they just witnessed the birth of a Super Hero?

Logan was even more shaken. He was extremely familiar with his own power. Wasn't that his superpower?

Though the speed was much slower than his, this madman had still replicated it.

In an instant, his worldview nearly collapsed. He had believed that Mutants were chosen by fate, which was why they possessed abilities beyond ordinary people. Yet now, he discovered that his ability could be cracked and copied.

How could he not question his life as a wolf?

"You yellow-skinned monkey, hurry up and let me go. I'm a Super Hero now!"

Seeing his wound heal so quickly, Subject 1 could not help roaring.

He could feel his body growing stronger and stronger.

"Continue the experiment. Compare Logan's Self-healing Ability with Subject 1's, as well as energy consumption and changes in the wounds."

Shen Fei calmed himself and did not immediately prepare a dose for his own use. Instead, he cautiously had the assistants continue the experiment.

"You!"

Subject 1's thick lips parted as he heard Shen Fei's words, ready to say something.

"Sew his mouth shut. He has Self-healing Ability now anyway. Once it's stitched up, let it fuse together."

Shen Fei said flatly.
