American comics: Random transformations

Lex Luthor used the blood of those human test subjects to extract a "God Gene" with a fusion effect, weakened by at least three times.

Because it contained too many human genes, and there was no way to remove them, this batch of defective drugs lost the ability to randomly fuse various genes.

He used white mice for experiments, injecting twenty white mice with this defective gene.

As time passed, after three hours, human characteristics gradually grew on the white mice.

The white fur on their bodies began to decrease, their faces slowly changed to resemble human faces, and their claws also turned into something similar to human hands.

If one didn't know they were mice, people might mistake them for miniature monkeys.

Sixteen of the twenty experimental mice died, leaving four live subjects. They were transformed into small, hairless monkeys, but their intelligence didn't change much, and their habits remained the same as mice.

"If it were a normal 'God Gene,' it would automatically adapt to the DNA of the living body and then undergo gene fusion.

This defective drug... just crudely splices human genes that don't belong to the white mouse, completely disregarding whether the mouse's genes can accept it...

If a human were to absorb this, would there be no conflict? Perhaps the human's genes could even be completed. Hmm, tomorrow I'll have Max prepare test subjects for me.

...For the time being, no abnormalities have been found in the living test subjects, except for the changes in appearance. I wonder if there are any internal changes."

...

Lex Luthor dissected the dead mice to study the internal changes.

"How interesting. The structure of the internal bones has also been modified, becoming more like a human's... What is this?"

He cut open the evolved hand of a dead mouse and found strange bone spurs growing on the knuckles, different from normal finger bones; they grew out from the middle of the joints.

"That's, Superpower User Number 7's superpower!"

Lex Luthor felt like he had been hit by a huge surprise.

Hard bone spurs—this was the superpower of Number 7 among the ten human test subjects. The effect was to allow him to grow three to five centimeters of bone spurs all over his body. Before he died, he even managed to launch bone spurs from his entire body.

Now, this effect appeared on the mouse's body, which meant what! It meant that genes related to superpowers might have been mixed into the defective drug.

He dissected another one and found that it had a very thick stratum corneum, which couldn't be pierced even with a scalpel.

"Wait!!!"

Lex Luthor suddenly realized a very serious problem: the stratum corneum of this test subject grew after death!

In other words, the reason for the test subject's death might be because it couldn't adapt to the superpower!?

"If that's the case, what about the four that survived?"

Lex Luthor stretched his sinful hands towards one of the live white mice. After drawing blood and running a series of tests,

it was confirmed that this mouse possessed the ability to regenerate. It was because of that superpower that it saved its life. The other three had the same result.

At this time, Lex Luthor excitedly flipped through the ability records of those previous test subjects:

[Number 1: Thick Stratum Corneum]: Able to increase the thickness of the stratum corneum. Evaluation: Useless.

[Number 2: Electric Current]: The cells in the body produce a weak electric current, making the whole body electrified. Evaluation: Not as useful as a stun gun.

[Number 3: Camouflage]: Similar to skin discoloration to blend into the environment. Evaluation: Too slow, easy to be discovered. Current technology is 100 times better than this ability.

[Number 4: Super Speed]: Increases one's speed, but accelerates the consumption of energy in the body. After using the ability, a large amount of nutrient solution is needed to alleviate it. Evaluation: Trash. One will die on the road while running.

[Number 5: Limited Rapid Regeneration]: Knife wounds, puncture wounds, burns, frostbite—all can be repaired. Evaluation: A good ability, but unfortunately, blowing off the head will still result in death. There is room for gene optimization.

[Number 6: Cell Restoration]: Possesses a powerful healing ability. After the human body is damaged, cells will quickly proliferate and recover. Evaluation: Those old geezers should love it. Worthy of research.

[Number 7: Hard Bone Spurs]: Allows one to grow three to five centimeters of bone spurs all over the body, which can be launched. The disadvantage is that the created bone spurs cannot disappear naturally after being launched. Evaluation: An ability mutated from bone hyperplasia.

[Number 8: Super Strength]: Bench press reaches 500 kilograms, but lacks endurance. Evaluation: Too weak, much weaker than Superman.

[Number 9: Shell]: A shell like a seashell will form on the body surface. Evaluation: Can block bullets, but can't stop machine guns.

[Number 10: Life Detection]: Able to detect how many living people are around. Evaluation: Useless. A trained police dog is better.

These abilities have strengths and weaknesses. If Tian Xiaoban were here, he would find that if all these abilities were combined into one, it could become a Pillar Man who wouldn't absorb life energy.

"If it's really as I think, then these can really be sold as Compound Five!"

Regardless of whether the ability is strong or weak, as long as one can obtain superpowers, then the value of this thing is immeasurable.

"Human experiments! I need to start human experiments as soon as possible!" Lex Luthor muttered like he was possessed. He didn't want to wait even a second longer.

He quickly called Max and asked him to prepare everything for human experiments in the shortest amount of time.

"Boss, the fastest it will take is one hour. Where should I deliver it to you then?"

Max was driving his car towards the nearest military prison while talking on the phone.

"Be quick! Send it directly to my underground laboratory. Let's witness a new achievement together! This thing will definitely drive the military crazy!"

...

An hour later...

A sunken-faced, emaciated death row inmate was brought in by his subordinates.

Lex Luthor carefully examined his body. Apart from malnutrition, he had no other problems.

Based on his physical condition, he prepared the required dosage and tied him tightly to the experimental table.

Lex Luthor said:

"This time, it's a military super-soldier experiment project. There are certain risks. As long as you endure it, you will become a super-soldier. Then I can give you a job and exempt you from the military's death penalty."

The death row inmate's eyes flickered. His originally lifeless appearance seemed to suddenly have new vitality.

Lex Luthor nodded in satisfaction. A will to survive is needed to do experiments better.

"Inject him."

The surrounding assistants acted quickly, filling the death row inmate's body with tubes. Most of them were used to deliver nutrient solution, and only one tube was used to deliver Compound Five.

As the somewhat greenish Compound Five was injected, the death row inmate's eyes widened instantly. His whole body began to itch, and his skin-and-bones body began to gain flesh.

A strip of cloth was stuffed into the death row inmate's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue, which made him only able to whimper and unable to shout loudly.

The people around him watched with indifference, excitement, and anticipation. The visible strength of the condemned man's body indicated that the drug was working very well.

Many people had already taken out their guns, as only the guns in their hands could give them some sense of security.

An hour later, all the drugs had been injected into the condemned man's body, but the pain of genetic modification caused him to pass out.

The instruments monitoring his body indicated that everything was normal. Lex Luthor personally drew a tube of blood and rushed back to do research.

The others took the condemned man away and locked him in a special cage, waiting for him to wake up on his own.

In the laboratory, Lex Luthor analyzed his blood and compared the genes with those of the superhumans.

He discovered that the condemned man had similar genes to Number 2's ability: electricity. If there were no accidents, the condemned man's superpower would also be electricity.

… … … … … … … …

After waiting all night, the condemned man slowly woke up the next day at noon.

Seeing that he was locked up and watched by three people with machine guns, he jumped up excitedly. While rejoicing that he had survived, he discovered that his body was perfect and full of power, and that sparks could actually come out of his hands.

"It's real! I really became a super soldier! Hahaha…"

"Yes, you have successfully completed the experiment!" Lex Luthor said through the monitor. "Your ability is electricity. All the cells in your body will discharge electricity, about the same amount as a taser. Your physical strength is comparable to that of a professional boxer."

The condemned man excitedly swore allegiance to the camera in the corner of the room with fervent eyes: "Boss, I am willing to work for you, Boss!"

Lex Luthor smiled slightly: "Of course you have to work for me. Without you, how would the military believe that my experiment was successful!"

Then, he ordered the people outside: "Take him for a physical examination."

"After the physical examination, come with me to the military. If this deal is reached, then I will not be stingy with money."

"Hahaha, okay Boss! I swear to be loyal to the Boss!" The condemned man rubbed his hands excitedly like a fly.

While the other party followed the staff outside to check his body, Lex Luthor looked at the two-meter-high metal tank in the laboratory, thinking about his next plan.

The idea of cooperating with the military using the "God Gene" yesterday can be ended. Now, this Compound Five is a better thing, large in quantity, sufficient in supply, and quick in effect.

This metal tank is full of Compound Five that he just synthesized, enough to cultivate an army of 500 superhumans.

Soon he will take this drug to trade with the military.

"I hope the military can be more helpful and find that organization with the 'Ultimate Creature' as soon as possible."

Chapter 83 Mysterious Gourmet Island? (1)

A small yacht encountered a shipwreck and was forced to drift to a deserted island.

There were two men and three women on board, five lucky unfortunates who had been drifting at sea for three days.

The good news was that they hadn't died. The bad news was that they were about to.

They hadn't eaten for three days, relying entirely on the liquor on the boat to survive. Each of them was dizzy with hunger. On the boat, they tried not to move as much as possible to reduce the body's energy consumption.

If the yacht hadn't hit a reef and made a loud noise, they wouldn't have realized that they had drifted to a deserted island.

This deserted island looked very large and should be able to provide a lot of food. It became their hope for survival.

"Lucas… let's go… find… some food!"

Ethan, relying on his survival instinct, came down from the boat with trembling legs. He had only taken a few steps on the shore when his legs gave way and he collapsed weakly on the beach.

"Ethan, don't sleep… we're almost there."

Lucas's situation was similar to Ethan's. His whole body was also weak. He had just moved to Ethan's side when his eyes turned white and he fainted from hunger.

Ethan, awakened by Lucas, vaguely tasted a mouthful of sand, and an explosive salty aroma came from his mouth!

Fragrant! Crispy!

"Eat… something to eat?! So fragrant! The taste of fried rice!"

His saliva secreted wildly, and his originally chapped lips recovered under the moisture of the saliva, which allowed his mouth to open wider, devouring the "sand" in large mouthfuls.

The rich aroma awakened the unconscious Lucas. When he saw Ethan swallowing sand like crazy, he immediately wanted to stop him!

"Ethan… don't eat sand… you'll die! Please, stop!"

Lucas thought that his brother was planning to commit suicide by eating sand, wanting to be a full ghost.

At this time, Ethan had frantically devoured several mouthfuls, and with the replenishment of this delicious food, his brain reconnected.

He had clearly realized that this island was unusual. Various aromas were floating here, and he hadn't noticed it just now because he was too hungry.

Hearing his brother call him, he quickly crawled over and fed his brother a handful of "sand."

"Try it! This is edible sand! We seem to have come to an amazing place!"

Lucas didn't have the strength to resist. His expression was extremely aggrieved. He didn't expect that his good brother would actually want to harm him with sand. How good could sand be? He just wanted to pull a good brother to his death before he died, to die together.

He chewed a mouthful with tears in his eyes. Crispy, salty, and fragrant, the rich burnt aroma of carbohydrates rushed straight to his head, and his expression changed instantly!

Oh my, so fragrant.

After swallowing it in one gulp, Lucas began to gnaw frantically on the beach.

"Eat slowly, don't choke to death! We don't have any extra liquor now!"

Ethan patted Lucas on the shoulder, telling him to be careful and not choke himself to death.

"Cough cough cough cough…", the sand choked his trachea. Lucas coughed frantically. The stinging pain in his throat and lungs convinced him that he was not dreaming. How could anyone be choked in a dream, and the food was still in his mouth.

"This is definitely not a dream! Not only did we not die, but we also ate such delicious food. It must be God's guidance. Thank God!!

Hey! Ethan, what are you doing!"

Lucas turned his head and saw that Ethan was actually gnawing on a large black reef not far away! Ethan's natural good teeth didn't seem to have any reaction no matter how he bit, and he didn't even gnaw off any debris.

This was simply outrageous!

"Lucas, this is sugar! It's sugar!!!!" Ethan roared while gnawing.

Although he couldn't gnaw on the hard reef, just licking it with his mouth, the taste that was so sweet that it was bitter could make people unable to stop.

"Sugar?" Lucas also ran over and licked the reef. "Oh my god! It really is sugar, coconut sugar!!!!"

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the other plants on the island!
