"Come on, come on!"
Pietro gritted his teeth and pushed the third injection all the way.
The familiar pain, the familiar despair, seems to crush the soul and reorganize it.
"Boss... I..." Pietro knelt on the ground, holding the beach with his hands, digging his nails deeply into the sand, and his whole body was trembling. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he swallowed the words again.
He saw his sister not far away.
Wanda also looked ugly, but she stood, her body crumbling, but she never fell. The scarlet light flashed in her eyes, as if she was fighting against the nightmare in her mind.
Pietro gritted his teeth and held back his begging for mercy.
Can't be worse than my sister.
Lucian stood in front of them, his eyes scanning the physical condition of the two people.
Compound V has already improved their physiques, and the blood of Sam has further strengthened the efficacy of the medicine. At this rate, another dose should be ineffective.
After a few minutes, the effects of the third shot wore off.
Lucian directly handed over the fourth potion without giving them any time to rest.
Pietro raised his head and looked at the needle, fear showing in his eyes for the first time.
Wanda took it directly from Lucian's hand, without saying a word, and plunged it into his arm.
Pietro was stunned for a moment, then cursed, grabbed his own one, and pushed it hard into his arm.
When the pain of the fourth injection gradually subsided, the brother and sister seemed to be fished out of water, soaked to the skin and gasping for air. But their eyes became completely different from before.
It is a kind of tenacity that washes away impetuosity and settles down.
"How do you feel?" Lucian asked.
"Still... still alive." Pietro grinned, trying to smile, but it stretched his sore muscles.
"Can you still stand up?" Lucian asked.
Pietro raised his head and gasped. "Of course I can! I can still run."
After he finished speaking, he took a step forward.
A shallow pit was created in the sand under his feet, and Pietro's body rushed out and ran around the island. When he came back, he did not stop like before, but made two traces on the ground with his feet, stabilizing his body.
His face was full of excitement.
"Did you see that? This time I stopped much faster than before!"
"You almost hit that rock just now." Wanda raised his head, his voice still a little weak, but he had regained some energy, "If the boss hadn't moved the rock away, you should be lying on it now."
Pietro's smile disappeared.
He turned around and saw that the rock that was originally standing in front of him had been moved to the side.
Lucian takes back Telekinesis.
"The speed has increased, but the control is still not enough."
Pietro was less excited, but did not refute.
When he ran out just now, he only felt that his body became lighter and everything around him slowed down. But when he wanted to stop, his legs still rushed forward in the same way as before.
"There is one more." Lucian took out two potions and handed them to the brother and sister respectively.
Pietro's face turned green.
"Boss, isn't it? Are you still coming?"
"This is the last shot." Lucian said, "It only hurts the body, not the brain."
Upon hearing this, Pietro breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the mental torture just now, the physical pain is simply enjoyable.
The two took the potion without any hesitation this time.
When the liquid was injected into the body, an indescribable pain exploded from the depths of every cell, as if all the bones, muscles, and internal organs were to be shattered and recast with fire.
But in this severe pain, the two of them also clearly felt that an unprecedented majestic vitality was crazily nourishing their bodies.
When the effect of the potion was completely absorbed, the brother and sister stood up unsteadily.
Lucian took their hands, and the data on System Panel made him nod with satisfaction.
The effect of V1 was not wasted. Since the superpowers brought by Compound V to the two of them were only Super Physique, the effectiveness of V1 fully affected the body level, and their muscles, bones and internal organs were completely strengthened.
Their Super Physique directly broke through to LV6.
What surprised him even more was Wanda.
Under the continuous Psychic Blast, the Chaos Magic in her body was also catalyzed, and the normal level was raised from LV5 to LV6.
It's such an exaggerated potential. Lucian secretly smacked his lips inwardly. Looking at the empty syringe in his hand, he roughly knew that this was also the current upper limit of Compound V.
We still need to find smarter researchers or obtain higher-level extraordinary materials.
"Did we succeed?" Wanda opened his eyes.
"Barely enough."
Pietro Clenched his fists and tightened the muscles in his arms.
"Can I beat Hulk now?"
Hulk, who was practicing boxing in the distance, stopped and turned his head to look over.
"Hulk heard it!"
Pietro Shut up immediately.
Lucian looked at him. "You can try."
"I think it's better to forget it."
Hulk grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Silver hair, timid."
"Who are you calling timid?" Pietro turned around and rushed over.
Lucian raised his hand and pressed his shoulder.
"Don't rush to die yet."
A force pressed down, and the sand under Pietro split open on both sides. The expression on his face froze, and then he honestly stepped back.
This temper needs to be tempered slowly.
Lucian looked at Wanda again.
"One more thing, V1 can not only strengthen your body, but also stop you from aging."
Pietro opened his mouth wide.
"Wait, boss, what did you say?"
"Immortality."
After these four words fell, the brother and sister were a little at a loss.
Pietro looked down at his hands, and then at the needle on the ground. He was only in his twenties, and death was still far away for him. The word immortality sounded like something from someone else's story.
But no matter how you think about it, this is a gift that mortals cannot imagine.
Wanda grabbed his arm.
Pietro turned to look at her.
"What's wrong?"
Wanda didn't answer, but just pulled him up to Lucian.
She glanced at the empty syringe and pulled Brother to kneel down.
"Boss, I..."
She wanted to swear allegiance, in the oldest and most sincere way.
However, an invisible force held up her knees, making it impossible for her to kneel down.
"Don't keep kneeling back and forth." Lucian raised his hand and straightened the two of them up, "My people don't like this."
Wanda was held up in the air, and the red light in his pupils had not dissipated. After hearing these words, his ears turned red first.
My people?
She chewed these three words over and over in her heart, and a strange emotion grew in her heart. She and Brother had been relying on each other for a long time, struggling to survive. This was the first time that someone else had called her this way.
Pietro didn't think too much. He was dazzled by the newly acquired power. He patted his chest and promised carelessly, "Don't worry, boss! No matter what the task is, I promise to complete it for you!"
Lucian smiled, not bothering to expose him.
This is a typical expansion period after a sudden increase in strength, but it is not a big problem.
When he actually encounters an enemy that he cannot defeat, he will naturally know where the gap is.
"Okay, let's go eat and rest first, and we'll continue practicing later."
He waved his hand and dismissed the two of them, then turned around and walked to Hulk.
"Still practicing?"
"Immortality, there's a lot of time."
Pietro's face fell.
Wanda couldn't help but laugh, and then pulled Brother towards the fighter plane.
Lucian turned around and walked to Hulk.
Hulk has rearranged the starting position of Bajiquan, with both fists on his chest and his steps stepped heavily.
"Have you learned how to stand?" Lucian asked.
"Hulk will stand!"
"Very good, let's start teaching you how to box."
"Bajiquan does not mean that you can only throw punches." He said, "Stand close to each other, squeeze each other, and attack with crushing force. The core is Six Great Openings, Eight Great Skills, and Vajra Eight Forms."
If the boring stance just now made Hulk drowsy, now that he heard that he could box, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hit!" Hulk roared excitedly.
"Watch it." Lucian immediately lowered his waist and punched the air.
The fist wind roared, carrying an indomitable and fierce momentum.
"Hulk, fight too!"
Hulk imitated Lucian and threw a punch awkwardly.
"Bang!"
The fist hit the air, making a dull explosion, full of power, but without any rules.
"Instead of throwing it with your arms, use your strength from the ground and your waist and hips!" Lucian walked up to him and reached out to pat his lower back.
"Here, hit me."
"Hulk, hit you?" Hulk hesitated.
"Use your best."
After receiving permission, Hulk no longer hesitated, roared, and punched Lucian in the chest.
This punch is enough to punch through a building.
Lucian didn't dodge or evade, but also punched him.
The fists crossed together, making a muffled sound.
Lucian is motionless.
Hulk felt a subtle force coming from his fist, making his whole body shake.
He stared blankly at Lucian, his eyes full of excitement.
"Come again!"
Having a sparring partner who can box with him to his heart's content instantly ignited Hulk's fighting spirit.
On the other side of the island, several agents brought by Simona watched all this from a distance, with complicated eyes.
They witnessed with their own eyes the painful appearance of brother and sister Wanda as they underwent strengthening, and also saw the completely different and powerful aura exuding from their bodies after the strengthening.
When Wanda and Pietro walked over to prepare for the meal, the eyes of several agents subconsciously fell on them, with unconcealable desire in their eyes.
Who doesn't want to become stronger?
Simona noticed the commotion among his men, and his face immediately darkened.
"Are you all free?"
Several agents immediately stood up straight.
"No, Ms. Simona."
"If not, go on patrol." Simona glanced at them, "Whoever you want to strengthen is your arrangement. You just get paid and do your own thing."
One of the agents couldn't help but said, "We just want to know how to get that potion."
"Want to know?" Simona looked at him, "Then complete the task beautifully. The adults have been watching you, and maybe I will give you an injection someday."
Several people immediately shut up.
But when they stood guard again, their backs were much straighter.
All of this naturally did not escape Lucian's perception.
He caught Hulk's fist, pressed his fingers on the opponent's wrist bones, and dragged Hulk in front of him.
Before Hulk could stand still, Lucian hit him in the abdomen with an elbow.
The green giant's body bent down.
"This time it's a close fight."
Hulk held his stomach, but there was no pain on his face, but a more excited smile.
"Come again!"
Lucian glanced at Simona in the distance and found it useful.
This thought flashed through his mind, and at the same time he raised his hand and caught Hulk's powerful punch.
