Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Defects of the Potion
Shen Fei watched as the mouth of Experiment Body No. 1, who was in front of him, was stitched up. The assistants around him were constantly testing the self-healing ability of this Experiment Body No. 1, comparing it with the data of Logan that Shen Fei had collected before.
"President Shen, the skin's healing speed is only five hundred times that of a normal person..."
The black man watched helplessly as a piece of his skin was cut off, and the assistant recorded the healing speed of this wound.
"The muscles are a thousand times that of a normal person."
"The bones are two thousand times that of a normal person!"
A series of data was constantly being tested. Logan, listening to the names being reported, began to doubt for the first time whether he could escape from the clutches of this devil.
What was the point of having self-healing abilities if he was still being studied like a lab rat?
Moreover, this guy's purpose was not to create weapons like Stryker. Weapons were meant to be used and would eventually be released by him, which was why he was able to escape in the first place.
This guy's purpose was research, and research materials could never be free.
The black man's joy at obtaining extraordinary abilities vanished instantly, replaced by a more intense pain. Because of his self-healing abilities, the assistants were even more direct in their actions, completely disregarding his pain.
A strange, muffled sound came from the throat of Experiment Body No. 1, the intense pain making him want to pass out. However, as soon as they saw any signs of him fainting, they immediately injected him with stimulants.
All to test the most accurate data.
Shen Fei listened to the assistant's report, comparing it with Logan's data, and soon he frowned.
This was definitely not as good as Logan's peak state, after all, the method he used was gene infection.
But he found that the tested data, although weaker than the current Logan,
could still reach 70% of his level, and even 80% in the depths of the bones.
"Test the data of the same parts of Logan again."
Logan, who was originally watching the experiment on the side, was suddenly stunned. Why was it his turn again?
He wanted to speak, but the assistant had already started.
"You demon!" Logan roared with a ferocious expression, "Professor X will not let you go!"
"He's already dead... Well, no, he should be resurrected in his brother's body now, but it will take some time to return to his peak state.
This time is enough!"
Shen Fei said indifferently, not afraid of Logan's threat at all. This period of time could be said to be when Logan was the strongest mutant, but that was all.
Like Professor X and Magneto, they had both been dealt with by the United States government. One had his physical body die and was resurrected in his brother's body, who was already a vegetable.
The other was injected with a large amount of X-Gene Inhibitor, and his abilities should have recovered in the end, but he was just a cripple now. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find where he was, and that he was likely being protected by many mutants,
he would have wanted to go and find Magneto to cause trouble.
Logan heard Shen Fei knew so much about the situation of the mutants, and for a moment even ignored the pain of having his body fluids extracted, "How do you know?"
But Shen Fei was no longer interested in chatting, constantly calculating while looking at the data handed over by the assistant.
"Adamantium..."
Shen Fei looked at the deepest part of the bones. Because Logan's bones were all Adamantium, it was impossible to cut off some bones for research. He could only use a Vibranium drill bit to drill out some bone marrow from inside the bones.
"So Adamantium isn't all that great after all." Shen Fei turned his gaze to Logan and asked, "Do you feel like you're not as young as you used to be, and even your recovery ability has declined?"
"That's the fate of everyone, even mutants are no exception."
"No, the source of a mutant's power is beyond your imagination. Mastering your kind of self-healing ability, how could you possibly age?"
Logan frowned and growled, "Then what do you say it is?"
"Naturally, it's that indestructible Adamantium skeleton of yours!
This metal, combined with your healing factor, has formed a new, active existence, a metal that can continuously grow.
Your defense will become stronger and stronger, and your physical discomfort will decrease, but your recovery ability will weaken.
Because this special metal inhibits flesh growth and releases a special substance that destroys your healing factor."
"It was okay before, when the time was short.
But now you've noticed, haven't you? As time goes by, your recovery ability has decreased, and you're starting to age.
When your healing factor is completely destroyed, that's when you'll die!"
Shen Fei said, this indestructible metal skeleton must be the reason why Logan is entering his twilight years.
Logan was stunned. What Shen Fei said seemed to make sense.
"But there are good and bad sides. At least it protected your brain.
You had amnesia before because your brain was damaged. Although the brain cells recovered, the memories disappeared.
Without that skeleton to protect you, you'd be reckless like you are, and have amnesia every day."
Shen Fei shook his head. Although he could also try this method, he would at least need to replicate Logan's complete state before considering it.
But for him, to achieve the defensive power of Logan's skeleton, he has many backup plans, and there's no need to sacrifice recovery ability to gain defense.
Logan was even more stunned listening to Shen Fei's words. How did this person even know he had amnesia?
As for the other side, Experiment Body No. 1, the black man, was constantly having his tissues broken down and body parts cut off. His self-healing ability was constantly being exerted. Soon, Shen Fei said, "His muscle tissue recovery is slowing down!"
"Yes, it's reduced by twenty times compared to a normal person."
In Shen Fei's sight, the recovery of the biceps brachii muscle, from which a piece of meat had been cut off, began to slow down.
Moreover, the sweat on the black man's face was increasing, his complexion was gradually turning pale, and his eyes had already fallen into a state of pupil dilation.
"Test the basic indicators!"
Before long, Shen Fei looked at the increasingly weakened black man's data.
His physical indicators were declining rapidly because the cells in his body were spontaneously undergoing apoptosis.
Apoptosis is controlled by the cell's nucleus and is often a special mechanism for clearing abnormal cells, and it also has the effect of degenerating some organs.
"Blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure are all decreasing rapidly, the sodium and potassium ions in the body are disordered, and the cell membranes in various cells are rupturing..."
A series of experimental results appeared in front of Shen Fei. "Do we need to stop?"
An assistant asked in a low voice, this was their first successfully tested sample. If they took good care of it, it could be used for a very long time.
"Continue, I need to test its side effects and its limit!"
The other five experiment bodies and Logan watched as a living person melted away like sludge, turning into a puddle of mud.
The assistant quickly collected the puddle of mud and burned it in an incinerator.
Shen Fei looked at the final test data. "Test all five of these people. Next, we need to calculate how long a bottle of Phoenix Solution can last, and how to allow ordinary people to gain self-healing abilities without dying!"
