Lucian took out three V1 bottles from the refrigerator,
"Hold on to the bed."
Hughie As soon as he held the guardrail, the laboratory in front of him disappeared.
After several consecutive Teleportations, the three of them appeared inside the Supe sanatorium together with the hospital bed.
Hughie held on to the wall and retched.
"I still don't understand, why can't you just fly over?"
"Because I want to."
Hughie rubbed his eyebrows and looked around.
The hall is brightly lit, and several people wearing hospital gowns are sitting in wheelchairs basking in the sun. The items placed here are all defective products produced by Vought International's Compound V human experiments.
Some people have deformed limbs and can only move on the ground with their limbs; some people have most of their bodies covered by tumors induced by compounds; some people have continued organ failure and are lying in hospital beds waiting to die.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Lucian, several nurses and patients were startled at first. After seeing their faces clearly, they immediately stood up straight.
"Hello, Director!"
"Mr. Lu!"
There was fanatical respect in the voice. Most of them knew who had pulled them out of the dark Underground Research Facility.
Lucian nodded with a smile and called to the dean who was coming quickly.
"Gather all the patients together, push those who can move over, and lift those who cannot move along with the bed."
The dean was stunned for a moment.
"All?"
"Yes."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
Hughie watched the medical staff running around, and then looked at the medicine in Lucian's hand.
"What do you want to do?" Hughie couldn't help but ask.
"Be quiet."
Lucian moved his fingers.
"I need to concentrate."
Half an hour later, the hall and the corridors on both sides were crowded with hospital beds and wheelchairs.
The people who were pushed out were a little nervous. Some asked the doctor in a low voice, while others stared at Lucian, trying to see something on his face.
Lucian raised his right hand and pointed his palm at the crowd.
LV6 Blood Manipulation, start.
The bodies of hundreds of people froze at the same time.
The next second, wisps of blood penetrated the skin and floated into the air. The screams exploded instantly, and the medical staff retreated in fear.
"Don't move!"
Lucian's voice overwhelmed everyone.
"I'm repairing your body. If someone messes with it and causes it to grow crooked, I'm not responsible for tearing it down and starting over again."
Hughie's eyes widened as he saw the blood in those patients suddenly seeping out of their skin and gathering into dozens of dark red blood cells above their heads. There was dead silence in the hall, only the viscous sound of blood flowing.
This job is much more troublesome than killing people.
Destruction only requires crushing the heart, but repair requires dealing with different lesions in each person's body. If the cells proliferate faster, they will turn into tumors, and if the cells proliferate slowly, the reconstruction effect will not be achieved.
Fortunately, after merging the abilities of Marie and Neuman, his control over blood has reached the cellular level.
The blood cells suspended above everyone's heads were dispersed again, turning into countless thin red threads and piercing the bodies of the patients again.
A young man whose right leg only reached his knee suddenly screamed in surprise.
The muscles at the fracture grew rapidly, the white bones extended downward, and blood vessels, nerves and skin were covered layer by layer. In less than two minutes, a complete right leg stepped on the wheelchair pedal.
He stared blankly at his toes.
It moved a bit.
It moved again.
"My legs..."
The severely deformed woman next to her had her twisted spine return to its original position little by little. She had been lying on the ground for more than ten years and straightened her back for the first time.
More changes followed.
The necrotic organs regained their activity, the blind eyes focused again, and the tumors covering the skin gradually shriveled up and fell off. Soon there were only cries and uncontrollable laughter left in the hall.
Lucian's face turned pale. This kind of group-level Cellular Proliferation and Reconstruction consumes a lot of physical and mental energy. Even with Super Physique supporting him, he felt like a large piece of his body had been hollowed out.
Fortunately, the blood manipulation that combines Marie and Neuman is powerful enough, and he can now do more than just regenerate severed limbs.
As long as the trunk of the body is still there and the cell base has not been completely destroyed, he can bring people back. He can even bring people who have just died back to life.
Of course, rotting corpses and people who have been brain-dead for too long cannot be saved.
He's not turning back time.
Ten minutes later, the last lump of blood returned to the patient's body.
Lucian put down his hand and shook his feet slightly.
Hughie hurriedly supported him.
"Are you okay?"
"The consumption is a bit high, but it's okay."
The young man who was the first to grow his right leg stood up from the wheelchair, staggered two steps forward, then turned around and bent down to Lucian.
Others also reacted.
Those who can stand stand up, but those who cannot adapt to their bodies immediately sit on the bed and lower their heads.
No one discussed it in advance.
Hundreds of people neatly bowed deeply to Lucian.
Lucian waved his hand, his voice full of exhaustion. "Okay, don't sensationalize here. Observe for a few days, confirm that your body is fine, then go to the Supe Affairs Bureau to report to work. I don't have idle people here."
Supe Affairs Bureau is short of people. This group of people has been tortured by Vought for many years. They have no good impression of Vought and owe him their lives. As long as they are trained, they will be the most reliable group of grassroots members.
Doing good deeds and winning people's hearts are never in conflict.
The young man who had just grown his right leg nodded vigorously.
"Understood!"
Someone shouted immediately from behind.
"I'm going!"
"I'll go too!"
"Director, my life will be yours from now on!"
Hughie stood behind and said nothing for a long time.
Is this the same fucking ruthless Lucian?
In Hughie's impression, every time he cooperates with Lucian, he will be exploited in turn.
The Lucian on TV is more like a careerist.
He formed Supe Affairs Bureau, registered, managed, suppressed, and captured almost all Supe. Anyone who did not cooperate would be visited by Soldier Boy and Black Noir.
But these people in front of me are not fake.
The sanatorium is not fake.
The exhaustion on Lucian's face is not fake either.
Which one is the real him?
Hughie thought for a long time and couldn't find the answer.
For the next whole day, Lucian led two people to deal with the backlog of work of the Supe Affairs Bureau. By night, the progress of [Reality Shift LV5] had just exceeded 70%.
When resting at night, he temporarily let go of his hand and pushed the still unconscious old man to Hughie.
"Don't let him out of your sight."
"Thank you."
Hughie arranged the quilt for his father, but did not leave immediately.
He pinched the corner of his clothes and hesitated for a long time.
"You said before that I can join Supe Affairs Bureau."
Lucian leaned against the door and looked at him.
"Is it still valid now?"
"Why, you were moved after seeing my heroic figure, and are you ready to change your banner and join my command?"
"No... well, a little bit."
Hughie scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I just think that Supe Affairs Bureau seems to be really meaningful. At least it is really helping people here, instead of thinking about how to kill someone every day."
This is quite consistent with Hughie.
"Go and report to Neuman."
Lucian turned and left.
"She will arrange a position for you."
After Teleportation several times, he returned to Long Island's home.
Annie and Cate were practicing boxing and kicking in the living room. Cate had just been knocked down by Annie and immediately took off his gloves after seeing Lucian.
"You're back."
"Stop fighting yet."
Lucian Put V1 on the table.
"Come on, let's make you stronger."
Annie stared at the potion.
"Isn't there any danger?"
"I didn't dare before, but now if something goes wrong, I can save you."
With Blood Manipulation in charge, as long as the two of them didn't turn into ashes on the spot, he would be sure to repair it.
V1 is quickly injected into the body.
A few minutes later, Annie's whole body burst out with dazzling bright light, and the light tubes in the basement exploded one after another due to the surge of electricity. But then, those violent lights began to subside.
Annie looked at her hands in surprise. She could clearly feel that the free ions in the air were continuously gathering into her body.
"I don't need electricity anymore?"
"To be precise, you no longer need to fight with a power bank."
Annie's body value is still in the LV5 category, but Light Energy Manipulation has been upgraded to LV5. It is more powerful and its biggest weakness has completely disappeared.
"I don't need to meet other people." Cate's voice was filled with excitement. She turned to look at Lucian, "Within tens of meters, as long as I can see, I can enter their heads. Even if it's a group of people."
Mind Control has been strengthened, the range has been expanded, and the fatal restriction of skin contact is no longer needed. Her physical fitness has also directly entered the ranks of LV5.
Lucian leaned on the door frame and looked at them, feeling very satisfied. After strengthening again, he felt relieved. With these two people working together, there were few people who could threaten them, and his plan to go to the new world should be put on the agenda.
After a simple celebration, the smile on Cate's face slowly disappeared.
She walked up to Lucian and grabbed the hem of his clothes with her fingers. A woman's intuition is always horribly accurate, let alone Cate who specializes in mental abilities.
"You have enhanced our abilities."
Cate raised his head.
"Are you leaving?"
