Chapter 191 - 188 Brothers Fight, A Passerby.
Before the Peace Summit, the dam base on Lake Alkali took the lead in launching the 'X Weapons' project.
Two people participated in the experiment, Logan and his grumpy brother Victor. ??
The former did it for love and wanted to better protect the woman beside him.
The latter was because of … brotherly feelings?
Sabretooth couldn't tolerate losing to his stupid brother, so he was willing to participate.
Trask and Stryker, these two guys, could be said to have accurately grasped the thoughts of the two mutant brothers.
Luke had nothing to say about this.
Everyone had to pay for the choices they made, and the pain was one of them.
Besides, it wasn't all bad.
Logan, who was injected with Adamantium, was able to go from a tough second or third-tier soldier to a first-tier warrior.
Apart from Omega mutants, there was also a natural nemesis like Magneto and the almost unsolvable mind control from Professor X.
Other opponents were just a little more effort on his part.
The simple explanation was that he was more resistant to beatings.
"Major General, even though I have minimized the risk, there's still the possibility of accidents during the transformation process."
Trask took precautions. He didn't want to be blamed by his boss if he failed.
Although the Weapon X project concept had been proposed a long time ago, it had been repeatedly refined and the data model measured.
But, as Murphy's law says--
No matter how unlikely it was, anything that could go wrong would go wrong.
"Who are you more optimistic about?"
Luke asked quietly.
Within his sight, Wolverine and Sabretooth, the two brothers, were stripped naked.
Several female researchers, trying to keep an else's working attitude, traced their surgical lines.
Before long, the injection syringe controlled by the robot arm would be inserted through these areas.
Those red-hot needles would pierce Wolverine and Sabretooth bodies and then inject the extremely hot liquid.
"Logan."
Trask looked at Stryker, who was standing behind him excitedly, and smiled, "You think so too, William."
Stryker nodded and agreed, "Victor is more like a beast. He is crazier and more cold-blooded. He can slaughter his enemies without changing his face, whether they are old people, children, or weak people who have no resistance."
"From this point, he is more in line with the requirements of the military and the definition of 'weapon'!"
Trask was convinced. He looked at Sabretooth, with his bearded face and manic, fierce eyes, as if he were admiring a top-quality product.
"Then why is Logan the most suitable candidate in your mind?"
Luke stood on the second floor with the busy researchers below him and the mutant brothers lying on the cold metal table with his hands on the railing.
"Logan kept a clear head. Although he's also a fierce beast, he isn't as crazy as Victor. Major General Cavill, sometimes calmness is more important than cruelty."
Trask leads the researchers, ready to start the experiment.
Adamantium requires a high temperature of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit to melt into a liquid state.
Once cooled and formed, it could no longer be destroyed.
Then, according to Trask's idea.
The Adamantium melted at high temperature would be injected into Wolverine and Sabretooth to form an indestructible steel skeleton.
They had extremely powerful self-healing abilities to recover from the severe damage caused to their bodies during the transformation experiment.
This was the key reason why Trask chose the two.
If a normal person underwent such a transformation, he or she wouldn't survive the final stage.
"It's starting. Major General Cavill, do you have anything to say?"
At this time, Trask didn't forget to please his immediate superior.
Luke waved his hand. He wasn't a latter-day leader.
People that liked to speak in crowded places to build up their image.
"What are the chances of success for both according to the experimental model you constructed with the data?"
Luke saw the iron frame sink into the water; Wolverine and Sabretooth looked at each other, seemingly cheering each other on.
Then, the robotic arms connected to the many pipes began to operate.
"Logan is 60%, and Victor is about 40%."
Trask replied.
To be honest, the success rate wasn't low.
The William Stryker-led 'Weapon X' program probably wouldn't reach 40% in the original timeline.
Except for Logan, his older brother Victor wasn't even eligible to participate.
"Once successful, the period when they first wake up, it's possible that they may fall into a state of insanity because of the painful memories left in their brains … Major General Cavill, would you like to avoid it later?"
Trask habitually identified Luke with that group of Pentagon Generals.
After that, he realized how stupid he was.
This was the Superman who fought Namor and beat Atlantis!
Even if Wolverine and Sabretooth completed the transformation experiment, they still wouldn't be Luke's opponents.
"No need for that."
Sure enough, Luke refused the offer.
"What are you going to do? I don't see any mention in the report about what will be done after the transformation experiment is completed."
"Er … brainwashing. Victor is fine. Logan's self-awareness is too strong to be a 'weapon.' "
Trask hesitated to answer.
"Is this with my permission, Doctor?"
Luke looked at the dwarf scientist calmly. There was no emotion on his face.
"Sorry! I just thought … it was better for S.H.I.E.L.D."
The gaze from the top of his head, like a sharp sword, caused Trask's body to tremble and filled his heart with fear.
He knew that the young Major General didn't like it when people made their own decisions.
"This isn't an exception."
A few long seconds later, Luke's voice came out.
Trask, whose legs were weak with fear, relaxed, leaving a cold sweat on his back.
"There's no need to brainwash. I want a soldier, not a machine. Logan and Victor will be sharp knives in the field team for S.H.I.E.L.D in the future. Obedient puppets are of no use to me."
Luke emphasized a few words and continued to focus on the transformation experiment.
Trask, apart from being a scientist, wanted to transition into a businessman like Howard Stark.
Therefore, he would always consider the various needs of the Pentagon.
The usefulness of mutants was more on the level of 'tools' and 'weapons.'
"Let's start."
Luke said faintly.
…
…
5 minutes later.
The transformation experiment started.
The researchers stood in front of the console.
The rows of long steel needles radiated cold light.
The rotating noise, like a drill bit, echoed in peoples' ears.
The red-hot needle pierced the skin and went deep into the skull.
The viscous and boiling Adamantium liquid was slowly injected into the body along the tube.
The terrible pain destroyed Logan's mental defenses almost instantly. He tried to throw his head back and scream, but the respirator was stuck to his mouth, and he could only exhale a series of air bubbles.
His eyes were filled with ferocious tension, just like a wild beast being provoked to fury.
His muscles were tight, and thick blood vessels appeared on his skin.
Fortunately, Trask was ready.
Before the experiment began, Logan and Victor were bound in metal shackles.
In case they got out of control, breaking away from the iron frame and interrupting the process.
"Doctor, their heartbeats are starting to rise, and their body temperatures are rising!"
The researcher nervously reported.
The vital signs shown on the screen were close to crashing.
For ordinary people, they would crash as early as the moment Adamantium was injected.
Cell rejection, the tissue dissolving, the blood evaporating, and the patient would die that instant.
But Logan was different. He had an extremely powerful self-healing ability.
Therefore, he had to endure not only the extreme pain of having his body destroyed, but he also had to take the restoration process over and over again.
This was terrifying torture.
If they didn't have a strong mind, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Victor, on the other side, wasn't much better.
His sharp nails scratched the iron frame lying beneath him to vent his inner rage.
Due to the painful process of the transformation experiment and their ability to heal themselves,
The anesthetics were ineffective.
"Keep injecting."
Trask was unmoved.
The transformation experiment was only at 20%.
The boiling hot Adamantium fluid had only just covered their skulls.
Then there was the torso and extremities.
"Heart rate 190 … it just reached 200!"
"Blood pressure is rising!"
"…"
As the vital signs were reported, the expression on Trask's face became more and more serious.
He underestimated the pain caused by the transformation process. Unfortunately, it seems that Logan and Victor may not be able to withstand it.
"Major General Cavill, you see …"
Trask raised his head and looked at Luke, who said nothing.
"Go on; this is far from their limit."
Luke was calmer than everyone else; he used his supervision to scan Wolverine and Sabretooth bodies through the surface of their skin like an X-ray.
The Adamantium fluid could quickly destroy tissue cells, evaporate blood and cause great damage to the body.
At the same time, it was being integrated into the body and was constantly being repaired, covering the bones and becoming a part of it.
"Are you sure? Their heart rate has reached 300, and their body temperature is rising. If they continue like this, they will probably have a genetic breakdown and die."
Trask hesitated. He still wanted to keep Logan and Victor alive as long as possible or keep one.
In this way, more data could be collected to facilitate the next step of the transformation project.
" I thought you would have more confidence in them, Doctor."
Luke whispered.
"Don't give up when you're one step away from success."
Trask's face looked heavy. His boss said so; what else could he do?
Another 5 minutes passed.
The Adamantium fluid had covered their torso.
The progress of the transformation experiment had been pushed to 50%.
The vital signs of the two weren't curves that normal people could understand at all.
Heartbeat, temperature, blood pressure … The data fluctuated at an incredible pace.
"Stop Victor's transformation. Continue Logan's."
Luke took over Trask's authority and began to give orders.
Although the heartbeat line on the screen fell rapidly like the stock market, it dramatically rose back up.
Logan still had room for transformation, but his cranky older brother was indeed at his limit.
Victor's injection was stopped, and the iron frame was slowly lifted out of the water.
He had a lot of steam rising from his body, caused by his excessive body temperature.
The Adamantium liquid began to solidify and form in his body.
Since then, Sabretooth has had a hard skull and an indestructible torso.
Unfortunately, they were unable to continue with his limbs.
10 minutes later.
The injection was completed.
Logan had turned into a true Wolverine.
It's just that his heartbeat completely stopped and flat-lined.
"Major General Cavill, there's no way …"
Trask tried to say a few words of comfort, but all he got was, "Shut up."
Luke stared at Logan intently, and the whole lab was silent. Everyone held their breath, and no one dared to breathe loudly.
Pip!
The straight red line fluctuated slightly.
Then it turned into a green curve.
The heartbeat, which represented his life force, started to make a vigorous sound again.
Trask and Stryker, who were standing at the back, looked at each other's eyes. Both had excited faces.
"Hehe…"
Logan, who was soaked in water, opened his eyes and grew a pair of alloy claws at the joints of his hands.
He chewed the respirator stuck in his mouth and let out a furious growl, just like a wolf king who was provoked.
The conscious Logan's mind was filled with manic emotions due to pain and agitation.
He directly stood up from the pool used for cooling, exposing his tall, strong body to Luke without any cover.
"Tsk, really 'charming.' "
Luke turned his head. He wasn't interested in male nudity.
"Have the researchers retreat and close the access doors on the ground floor."
Trask did as he was told, with a look of excitement in his eyes.
The killing machine he wanted was halfway there.
"Don't be happy. If you stand in front of Logan, the first thing he'll do is chop your head off."
Luke poured cold water on Trask's inner excitement.
"Wake Victor up and let the two brothers fight."
At this time, it was useless for anyone to reason with Logan.
The painful experience that remained in his brain fueled him and completely triggered his inner rage and bloodlust.
The best way to eliminate all of that was to fight.
The semi-finished Adamantium version of Sabretooth versus the complete form of Wolverine,
It looks like a really good show,
"Ahh… ahh…"
Like a cranky old man, Sabretooth's first thought when he opened his eyes wasn't 'Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?', but rather 'Sh*t, that hurts.'
The second thought was even simpler -- 'Who is this naked man in front of me?'
Then there was -- 'Whoever it is, kill him first!"
The thoughts of the two brothers were, surprisingly, the same.
Without even saying a word, he directly pounced.
Swing, swish, swish!
The Adamantium claws glinted with a cold light.
They are slashing Sabretooth's chest.
The latter, without fear, held his head high and pushed forward.
Bang!
Two Adamantium skulls collided!
Logan staggered back, shook off his dizziness, and wrestled with his older brother.
It was boring to see two mutants with self-healing abilities fight, not at all enjoyable.
Because they weren't afraid of injury, they would only attack, not defend.
"You keep fighting. What are you looking at me for?"
The fight lasted less than a minute when the two beasts suddenly stopped fighting and looked at Luke on the second floor.
The latter looked innocent and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was just a watching passerby.
Wolverine and Sabretooth looked at each other as if they had reached some kind of consensus.
Each roared and pounced on all fours to the second floor.
