Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1628: Battle for the Dragon Ball

Just then, a slight sound broke the deathly silence in the laboratory.

An orange bead rolled out from a corner of the laboratory and stopped right at his feet.

Dr. Connors was startled, his eyes widened at this moment, his face filled with astonishment.

His laboratory, as a frontier in the research of reptile regeneration systems and xenogeneic transplantation, has always been known for its strict disinfection procedures and rigorous protective measures.

Every object that enters the laboratory, whether it is a tiny reagent bottle or a sophisticated instrument, must undergo detailed records and layers of security checks.

And this sudden bead was obviously not in any record.

He slowly squatted down and gently touched the bead with his fingers. The warm touch from his fingertips made his heart tremble.

The surface of the beads is as smooth as a mirror, as if they have been polished for thousands of years, emitting an indescribable mysterious glow.

At this moment, an indescribable force seemed to penetrate his fingertips and reach his brain. Then, a series of complex and confusing information poured into his consciousness like a surging tide.

"Dragon Ball? Make a wish?"

Dr. Connors' pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes flashed with shock and confusion.

As a rigorous scientist, his worldview is based on solid experimental data and scientific theories. All phenomena must have reasonable explanations and verifiable basis.

In his opinion, the concept of "making a wish" is nothing more than a fictional plot in myths and legends, which is incompatible with the real world.

However, the strange experience brought by the bead and the information that kept echoing in his mind made it impossible for him to easily attribute it to hallucinations or misunderstandings.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the laboratory, his heart full of contradictions and struggles.

On the one hand, he is a determined scientist who does not believe in things that have no scientific basis; on the other hand, he is in a desperate situation at the moment and has no other way to escape the predicament of lizard mutation.

Dr. Connors was ruthlessly expelled from the research team after opposing Norman's human experiments on lizard serum without sufficient ethical review.

To make matters worse, the lizard serum he was injected with caused a severe rejection reaction in his body, and some of his tissues even began to show lizard-like characteristics.

This unprecedented mutation not only threatened his life, but also caused him to lose his dignity and status as a scientist.

Perhaps, this dragon ball is his only hope.

He began to study the dragon ball carefully, trying to find more clues from it.

He took out his research tools and performed various tests and analyses on the Dragon Balls, but the results only confused him more.

The material of the dragon ball was something he had never seen before, and its energy fluctuations were beyond his current understanding.

In the next few days, Dr. Connors seemed to be possessed, staying in the laboratory day and night to study the dragon ball.

He consulted a lot of information, trying to find records related to Dragon Ball, but found nothing.

His body was still very weak, and although the rejection reaction had been alleviated, it still tormented him from time to time.

However, his desire to return to normal life made him forget the physical pain and focus on the mysterious dragon ball.

In the end, Dr. Connors confirmed that the dragon ball should be real, and he also found out that the dragon ball would emit a special energy wave to the surrounding environment. Based on this, Dr. Connors researched and created a radar to search for dragon balls.

He had already been fired for opposing Norman's human experiments with lizard serum, so this was his last hope.

Find the other seven dragon balls and finally make a wish to make the lizard serum disappear. As for his personal gains and losses, reputation and even life, they are insignificant in the face of the disaster that the lizard serum may bring.

So, he resolutely embarked on the journey to find the Dragon Ball, leaving his personal problems behind.

However, the side effects of injecting the lizard serum soon appeared.

The evil Dr. Lizard consciousness took over the main consciousness.

"Dragon Ball, make a wish. I want all humans to become lizardmen. Lizardmen are the new direction of human evolution!"

It grabbed the Dragon Ball Radar and found a location where several Dragon Balls were gathered together.

So Dr. Lizard headed in this direction without saying a word.

On the other side, Whip Ivan Vanko also received a prompt from the Dragon Ball Radar. He has not been idle during this period. He has been upgrading and improving the Dragon Ball Radar, and using mechanical soldiers to fool Justin Hammer and the military personnel of the Ministry of Defense.

Currently, Hammer Industries has delivered one hundred mechanical soldiers, and the subsequent ones are still in production. The output cannot be increased because Ivan Vanko is too lazy to do it.

"New Dragon Balls!"

Ivan Vanko looked at the signal displayed on the Dragon Ball Radar. A newly appeared Dragon Ball was approaching him. Judging from its route, it was heading straight towards him.

"Does anyone else have a way to find the Dragon Balls?"

Ivan Vanko determined this.

But it doesn't matter. Ivan Vanko is confident that as long as it's not Iron Man, the White Emperor or the Green Hulk, he will not be afraid even if the "soldier boy" on TV news comes.

Because he upgraded his Iron Man suit.

Dr. Lizard was climbing up and down the walls in the city, moving much faster than any other means of transportation, and soon arrived at the location shown by the Dragon Ball radar.

It was a workshop factory that looked quite large, surrounded by cordons and surveillance cameras.

Although Dr. Lizard's subjective consciousness has been replaced, Dr. Connors' intelligence and knowledge still remain in his body, making him realize that this place is not simple.

The "Hammer Industries" logo on the factory gate made him frown.

Although Hammer Industries is not as big as giants like Stark Industries and Ares Industries, it is also well-known in the arms industry.

The large quantities of light weapons it produces have always been the military's first choice, but Stark Industries, due to Tony Stark's personal preference, does not involve this business, unless it is a privately customized industrial-grade rifle or toy collectible.

Dr. Lizard was secretly alert. He sneaked into the factory and used his lizard-like agility and strength to avoid all surveillance and guards.

But the next moment, countless bullets came towards him.

Dr. Lizard was startled. Even though he had an extremely quick reaction, he could not avoid the hail of bullets and was instantly riddled with bullets.

Only his main torso and head remained intact.

"A lizard?"

Ivan Vanko watched this scene through the camera and was a little surprised.
