Inside the institute.
The staff were all very surprised. Why was Chu Xiao the director of the institute today, while Dr. Erskine was nowhere to be seen? However, they only thought about it in their minds and did not dare to ask any more questions.
At this moment, Dr. Erskine is on the train, heading to the city where Rogers is. His purpose is to find Rogers and directly invite him to become a reserve soldier of the super soldier program.
The plot changes caused by Chu Xiao are slowly being corrected.
That night, after all the researchers had gone off work and Chu Xiao was the only one left in the entire institute, Chu Xiao prepared to start strengthening himself with the super soldier serum.
Ever since he knew that his body could perfectly adapt to the strengthening of the serum, Chu Xiao had been eager to strengthen the serum for himself.
It was really during the daytime at work, when there were many people around and Chu Xiao was unwilling to expose his own strength and the matter of the enhanced serum.
If you think about it carefully, only Howard and Dr. Erskine in this world know his abilities, and a few other people only know that Chu Xiao is a famous new generation scientist.
Chu Xiao took out the notebook that recorded the serum formula. All the raw materials were already available in the research institute. The main reason why the staff were busy was to extract and synthesize the raw materials for making serum. As for how to mix them, only Dr. Erskine and Chu Xiao knew.
To go into more depth, Red Skull in Hydra still has some stocks of super soldier serum. Those were made for Red Skull by Dr. Erskine when he was in Hydra. Fortunately, the quantity is limited, otherwise, Red Skull would have ruled the world long ago.
Chu Xiao used the raw materials on hand to quickly prepare a super soldier serum. Looking at the light blue transparent liquid in the test tube, it was hard to imagine that this was the super soldier serum that could enhance human fitness.
Chu Xiao filled the super soldier serum into the syringe, took off his clothes, revealing his solid and well-defined muscles, and slowly lay down on the cold laboratory table.
Then, Chu Xiao took a deep breath and pressed the control button to start the injection.
There was a crisp sound of a switch, and the needle tip of the syringe pierced Chu Xiao's upper arm, and the super soldier serum inside was slowly pushed into Chu Xiao's body.
A cold feeling came from the needle, along Chu Xiao's blood vessels, and entered his venous arterial circulation.
"hiss!"
A shrill scream suddenly sounded, and Chu Xiao, who was originally calm, immediately became extremely painful. A bean-sized bead appeared on his forehead in the blink of an eye. His muscles were tense, and his blue veins were bulging, as clearly visible as the roots of an old tree.
Chu Xiao only felt the icy energy entering his body. After flowing into his whole body, his temperament suddenly changed and he became extremely irritable and crazy.
They were like soldiers who had lost their minds. They used Chu Xiao's body as a battlefield and began to bombard him crazily.
Chu Xiao felt as if his whole body was being bitten by countless ants and his muscles were constantly torn apart, causing him to suffer unimaginable pain.
But none of this mattered to Chu Xiao, because the pain only lasted for more than a minute, and the super self-healing ability from the dragon ball in Chu Xiao's body began to take effect.
The mysterious power followed the serum closely, just like a firefighter, appearing wherever there was a fire, repairing Chu Xiao's dead cells and torn muscles.
Everything happened in a moment.
For the first time, Chu Xiao personally experienced what it meant to feel like every second felt like an age.
Chu Xiao waited until he no longer felt any pain in his body before he slowly opened his eyes, breathing heavily. The sweat pouring from his body soaked the entire lab table.
By the way, the novel app I’ve been using recently is supported by both Android and Apple phones!
Chu Xiao, who originally had very well-defined muscles, had changed his appearance at this moment. Instead, he was covered with full, bronze muscles that were full of explosive beauty.
His muscle mass is almost the same as Captain America in the original plot. Upon closer inspection, he is even more perfect than Captain America.
"Power!" Chu Xiao looked down at his body, as if he was admiring an extremely perfect work of art. He clenched his fists, and the power that burst out from his body made Chu Xiao tremble with excitement.
"Speed!" Chu Xiao swung his fist, and his arm immediately turned into a shadow. Only a sound of breaking through the air was heard, but Chu Xiao's fist could not be seen at all.
"Lifespan!" Chu Xiao felt the response from his super self-healing ability. The effect of the serum had already been demonstrated, and the lifespan was four times longer than before. "Two hundred and eighty years?!"
Chu Xiao was very surprised. According to Dr. Erskine's prediction, the serum could extend his lifespan four times. Shenlong had told him before that his lifespan was eighty years. Shouldn't four times eighty be three hundred and twenty years? !
So why is it now 280 years? 280 years is four times shorter, which is only 70 years of life.
Chu Xiao thought about it carefully and immediately understood, "My lifespan has been consumed!"
Shenlong once said that his super self-healing ability is closely related to his lifespan. If he keeps using his super self-healing ability, his lifespan will continue to be consumed.
Chu Xiao has been practicing madly since he gained his abilities. Such high-intensity practice naturally puts a huge burden on his body, so Chu Xiao's lifespan was reduced from eighty years to seventy years, a full ten years lost.
"The training with the Cat Immortal is really too much of a drain on one's lifespan!" Chu Xiao recalled that because of his super self-healing ability, the Cat Immortal tortured Chu Xiao regardless of the degree of injury. In Karin Tower, he used his super self-healing ability almost every day, which naturally consumed a huge amount of his lifespan.
"When practicing in the future, I must grasp the degree! Try to reduce the consumption of lifespan as much as possible." Chu Xiao made up his mind. He had not paid attention to this before, but now that the problem has occurred and the cause has been found, it is natural to prevent such situations from happening again.
As for the loss of life caused by using super self-healing ability in battle with the enemy, Chu Xiao had no way to decide it. Only by making himself stronger could he suffer less injuries and save less life.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiao suddenly felt that his life span, which had increased to 280 years, had become so short that he could die at any time.
After completing the strengthening, Chu Xiao put on his clothes, erased the traces he left behind, and then left the research institute.
At the same time, Dr. Erskine finally arrived at the city where Rogers was and found Rogers who was rejected by the conscription office again.
Looking at Rogers, who was holding the 4F level medical examination report in front of him, Dr. Erskine didn't understand why Chu Xiao would recommend this frail man as the first person to be strengthened with super soldier serum.
However, after Dr. Erskine talked with Rogers, he changed his mind and firmly believed that there was no problem at all for Rogers to be a test subject of the super soldier serum.
"I don't want to hurt anyone, nor do I want anyone to be hurt. I joined the army not to prove anything, but because I hope the world will become a better place!"
Rogers' words deeply touched Erskine's heart.
"Rogers, you are a good man!"
