Those outside watched Shen Fei climb into the machine. They had seen this many times before, and some had even taken part in similar experiments. Those who knew what was going on merely smiled.
"This guy really is looking to die! He might as well have died at our hands!"
"I've never tried the failed serum myself, but I've seen it. That guy even begged me to put him out of his misery."
"This kid's gone crazy."
In the office.
The soldier watched Shen Fei lie down inside and recalled Baron's words.
His unease faded as well. This guy was definitely dead.
After watching Shen Fei inject all the serum, the soldier picked up the phone to report the situation.
Once Shen Fei lay inside the machine, tubes attached themselves to his body, and a sapphire-blue solution was injected into his muscles.
In an instant, he felt an unbearable pain, as though his entire body were being torn apart.
"Pain!"
Shen Fei knew it would hurt, but he had never expected it to hurt this much.
The agonizing pain invading his nerves made him want to pass out, but he knew he could not lose consciousness. If he did, he would never wake up again.
Without willpower driving him to control his body, his body would eventually collapse.
That was why Captain America had been chosen as a volunteer back then, and why he had succeeded.
Though he himself had been weak, his will was powerful. That was why he had been selected as the candidate to become a Super Soldier.
Sweat poured from Shen Fei's entire body. He trembled violently as he did his best to control his muscles, his eyes bulging as if they might burst from their sockets.
Hold on!
Shen Fei roared inwardly.
As long as he survived this, his talent would let him roam freely through the universe. He might even touch the upper limits of this world.
Surely he would not die the moment after transmigrating here.
Besides, if he died after injecting a successful serum simply because he could not endure it, then he would be utterly useless.
He had finally transmigrated, and he even possessed such heaven-defying talent.
He would never accept dying like this.
At that moment, Shen Fei's muscles began swelling relentlessly, while the research base's electricity was continuously drained away. When Captain America had become a Super Soldier, it had taken nearly half a city district's power supply to succeed.
Though his Spirit of Evolution could help him rapidly fuse with the medicine, it could not make up for this massive energy consumption.
The power pouring in from outside was like countless streams of lava flowing through his body, nearly burning all his muscles to ash.
This scorching energy was even more terrifying than the tearing pain from the injection.
Shen Fei clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. Blood seeped from the wounds, but that slight pain was completely drowned out by the agony consuming his entire body.
The muscles across his body swelled as though he were a monster made of flesh tumors.
The Cleanup Team members outside shuddered at the sight inside the machine. This was what experimental subjects looked like after receiving failed serum.
"He'd have been better off with a bullet in the head. Suffering this much before dying—what the hell was he thinking?"
The Cleanup Team leader sneered. "Stop talking. Kill him and get this over with!"
The reinforced Bulletproof Glass was covered in cracks.
Though the Cleanup Team knew this guy was doomed, it was safer to make sure he died by their hands.
Metal Storm battered the glass without pause. With a bang, it shattered instantly.
The Cleanup Team members all smiled at the sight.
"We finally broke it. I ought to buy some of this glass for my house. Then I won't have to worry about bullets."
"Go in and put a few bullets in him. End it."
"Hehehe, leave it to me. I guarantee he won't feel a thing!"
The group rushed inside, while in the laboratory before the glass shattered.
In the office, the soldier connected the call and said into the phone, "Baron, he just injected himself with the failed serum.
He's still suffering worse than death right now.
It won't be long before... huh?" The Soldier Captain's words abruptly stopped, followed by a sharp intake of breath.
"What happened?" Baron suddenly had a bad feeling.
"He's not dead!" The Soldier Captain's voice was filled with disbelief.
Inside the laboratory.
Shen Fei forced himself to remain conscious as he endured wave after wave of pain.
At last, the Spirit of Evolution began to show its effects.
Streams of warmth surged through his body, constantly drawing in the electricity transmitted by the machine and strengthening Shen Fei's body.
And at that moment.
Power surged through him, causing Shen Fei's originally frail body to expand, his muscles brimming with explosive strength.
A great deal of steam spread from the opened machine. Shen Fei clenched his fist, feeling the power in his palm.
"So this is the Spirit of Evolution? It can absorb all the medicine in such a short time!"
Then he heard the Bulletproof Glass shatter. A cold glint flashed through Shen Fei's eyes. "Now it's my turn."
He picked up the surgical scissors he had prepared earlier. They had originally been meant for dissecting failed "volunteers."
Now, they had a better use.
With his strength, the sharp scissors were more than enough to become a deadly weapon.
After stepping out of the machine, Shen Fei stood naked. He tightly gripped a piece of Bulletproof Glass pulled from the machine, rolled at astonishing speed, and ducked behind an experiment table.
The team members rushing in knew something was wrong as soon as they saw the steam spreading from the machine.
They shouted, "Fire! Fire!"
But Shen Fei had already darted behind the experiment table like lightning.
The Cleanup Team members looked at one another, their eyes full of horror.
"Holy shit, he's not dead!"
"How is that possible?"
"He's so fast. Did he succeed?"
Fear flashed through the Cleanup Team leader's eyes. He hurriedly picked up the Walkie-Talkie and said, "Captain, it looks like he succeeded."
Shen Fei was the only one who had injected the serum and remained alive.
Everyone else had turned into slurry and been disposed of.
"I can see that already..." The soldier's voice came through the Walkie-Talkie.
It too was filled with horror.
Baron, on the other end of the phone, demanded loudly, "What exactly happened?!"
"Sir, he didn't die!"
The Soldier Captain's voice was filled with terror. He knew exactly how powerful a Super Soldier was.
How were they supposed to deal with a Super Soldier inside the research institute?
But Baron's voice was full of excitement. "He actually succeeded!"
He had never expected an ordinary researcher to truly develop the Super Soldier Serum.
"Bring him back to me! Have your men test whether he truly succeeded!"
