In the laboratory, Klaw, who had rushed over after receiving Shen Fei's message, stared in amazement at the wounds on the person before him as they continuously healed.

"My God. Shen, how did you do this? Hurry up and inject me too, then I won't have to fear death!"

The way Klaw looked at Shen Fei now was almost like he was looking at a god. Could God really be an Easterner?

A single vial of medicine could grant someone such miraculous power.

Although the Mechanical Arm Shen Fei had created earlier had also left him in awe and given him the power to become extraordinary,

the shock brought by this kind of physical transcendence was even greater than that of mechanical creations.

"Keep watching," Shen Fei said calmly.

Klaw froze for a moment. Keep watching?

Suddenly, the two test subjects, who had been healing continuously and seemed immortal, looked as if they had been thrown into a blazing furnace.

In an instant, they melted into two puddles of slurry.

Klaw took two steps back to avoid getting splashed by the disgusting sludge, while the assistants hurriedly cleared it away.

"What is this?"

"This is the flaw of Phoenix 1. If it heals itself too many times, the cells will be unable to withstand the genetic corrosion from the medicine and will ultimately undergo apoptosis.

"After each bout of self-healing, the body may seem fine for a certain period of time, but once the damage accumulates,

the healing speed will slow down until the entire person turns into something like this."

Shen Fei handed the vial of Phoenix 1 in his hand to Klaw.

That was why they had turned into thick sludge. They simply could not bear the immensely powerful X-Gene. While it could grant them the X-Gene for a short time

and produce Self-Healing Factors, it was probably because it was foreign to their bodies, or because they had not undergone prolonged environmental selection.

These gene fragments were extremely unstable. Once overused, they would collapse immediately and cause cellular apoptosis.

Still, even with its flaws, it was enough to serve as a source of funding.

This was also one of the reasons he had researched Logan. He needed a great deal of money, and this could bring him huge profits. Then, using the knowledge he possessed, he could leverage that money to acquire even more capital.

Klaw looked at the amethyst-like vial and frowned. "Its value will drop a lot like this. Then I won't be able to become a Super Hero..."

There was disappointment in Klaw's voice. He had thought he could become one of those immortal people too.

Shen Fei smiled. "What are you afraid of with me around? We're partners!

"This is only my initial version. The equipment we have now is too crude. We still need a large amount of sophisticated equipment, but we have neither the money nor the means to obtain it right now."

"What do you need?"

"The raw material for this medicine still comes from him. It's a little dangerous, but his ability is quite useful. You have channels to sell part of it and raise funds.

"Buy up shares in biotech-related companies in bulk, then gain actual control over a few laboratories.

"And Osborn. It has always been a leader in biotechnology research..."

Klaw nodded. He knew Shen Fei was even more skilled in biological research.

"Understood. By the way, how much Phoenix can it produce?"

"As long as he doesn't die, production is easy. But if you sell this, you'll probably be targeted very soon."

"Don't worry, brother. I've been selling Vibranium for so long and haven't died. Naturally, I have my own methods. By the way, what about that woman?"

Shen Fei frowned. Klaw was referring to Black Widow. "What about Eric Killmonger?"

"I told him not to come for now. First, you're conducting experiments. Second, he'll be watched the moment he arrives."

"What has that woman been doing lately?"

"My hidden cameras showed that she seemed to have entered my room, but I moved all the information in advance. As you instructed, I left behind information about Eric Killmonger."

Klaw no longer cared much about cooperating with Eric Killmonger. If Shen Fei was right, Eric Killmonger would eventually betray him.

Besides, the benefits Eric Killmonger brought him were nowhere near what Shen Fei offered.

At the end of the day, he was a businessman, and businessmen pursued profit.

So when Shen Fei suggested using Eric Killmonger as bait to draw attention, Klaw hesitated only briefly before agreeing.

"Mm. Keep an eye on Osborn's shares lately. Given their nature, they'll likely get involved too."

"Got it."

"Has Hydra made any moves lately?"

"Yes. I received some information. They're still looking for you." Klaw's expression was somewhat strange. From the intelligence he had gathered, he had learned that Shen Fei had escaped from a Hydra base.

And it seemed Shen Fei had taken something extremely important from Hydra.

That was why Hydra was chasing Shen Fei like a pack of rabid dogs.

"Just keep an eye on them."

Shen Fei nodded. After they finished discussing matters, he said, "Klaw, strengthen the defenses. This person absolutely cannot be stolen. Everyone else, leave. I still need to research something."

"Understood. Get plenty of rest."

Klaw knew Shen Fei had secrets, but everyone had secrets. If he tried to pry into them, their partnership would likely come to an end. There was no need to risk that over a momentary curiosity.

The other assistants all left, and the laboratory doors closed.

"If you're awake, open your eyes."

Shen Fei looked at Logan and smiled.

"That man will definitely betray you for greater profit. If he can abandon that so-called Eric Killmonger, then one day he can abandon you too.

"And if S.H.I.E.L.D. discovers what makes you special, you should know those people will always stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

Logan sneered. He had lived for over a century and seen all manner of right and wrong. He had seen through Klaw's nature at a glance.

"That needn't concern you. Next, I need to do something. Please go to sleep for a while."

Shen Fei activated the machine and injected a mixture of highly concentrated ether and Neurotoxin into Logan's body.

"You want to inject it? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Logan now understood Shen Fei's true goal. He wanted to gain this self-healing ability himself.

But according to what Shen Fei had said, an ordinary person's genes simply could not bear the X-Gene.

Even if this guy was somewhat special...

Could it be...? "You're a Mutant?"

After saying that, dizziness invaded Logan's mind, and he completely fell asleep.

Shen Fei wore a strange expression. "When did I become a Mutant?"

Shaking his head, he picked up the medicine and injected it into his vein. As the fluid entered his body, he soon felt waves of heat flowing through him.

Without another word, he used a scalpel to slice his wrist.

His flesh split open, and blood poured out. Shen Fei did not even furrow his brow.

He simply watched the wound on his wrist. Soon, the severed flesh closed together, scabbed over, and fell away, leaving behind only a pale scar and a trace of blood.

"Success. Even a partial effect is enough."

Shen Fei carefully examined the images he had just taken. A faint green glow flickered within the wound. That was the Self-Healing Factor at work.

As for being unable to bear the X-Gene and undergoing apoptosis?

No problem, I have cheats!
