John Wick: Chapter 11, New York branch of Kunlun Group.
In the underground base, the highest-level biological laboratory, Zuo Yu and Li Yun stood in front of the one-way glass outside the laboratory, smiling at Gu Changwen who was lying on the metal table in the laboratory with a somewhat nervous and anxious expression.
"You didn't tell him that this is another world?"
Li Yun suddenly asked.
Zuo Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course, the review period has not passed, how could I tell him this?"
Li Yun glanced at him and asked, "What's the name of the experiment?"
Zuo Yu shook his head: "Neither."
Li Yun frowned and said, "There's no need to hide this, right?"
“Indeed not.” Zuo Yu grinned and said with a smile, “But the feeling of opening a blind box is always more exciting. What’s more, this blind box is an ultimate super power gift package…”
Li Yun shook his head and said helplessly: "He is qualified to join the alliance. Is it really okay for you to cheat him like this?"
"A trick?" Zuo Yu objected strongly, "I'm obviously doing charity!"
"Void No. 2 has simulated thousands of times in the illusion, with a success rate close to 100%. There is no reason for it to fail this time, not to mention that the experimental subject is the most suitable traverser..."
At this point, Zuo Yu paused and said unhappily, "Those guys in the alliance only know how to eat for free. They are only willing to believe in the things on the shelves of the Rare Treasure Pavilion. No matter how much I persuade them, they are not willing to come with me to do a small experiment with little risk."
A little risk-free experiment...
Are you referring to the transplantation experiments that could lead to total genetic collapse?
Li Yun's cheek muscles twitched, and he tried hard not to complain about Zuo Yu.
Zuo Yu curled his lips and said, "I know what you are thinking, that's why I said that travelers are the most suitable experimental subjects. Their souls come from the source world of their hometown, and they are born with the ability to adapt to all the forces of the heavens and the worlds."
"Not to mention that they have the right to use the Gray Ball. Even if they really have genetic collapse, they can be easily saved."
Li Yun rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Then why don't you do it yourself?"
Zuo Yu shook his head and said, "Because I will definitely succeed, which does not meet the requirements of the experiment."
Li Yun frowned and was about to say something when he heard the electronic broadcast of the artificial intelligence 'Void 2' above his head.
"The first human experiment of 'Kryptonian gene transplantation' is about to begin. Countdown is now being broadcast. Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
As Void 2 began to broadcast the countdown, Zuo Yu and Li Yun outside the laboratory became alert and their faces turned serious.
When the countdown ended, a dim yellow light suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the laboratory.
That is the light of the mind constructed after analyzing the power of the Mind Stone, and it has a powerful effect far exceeding physical anesthesia.
Illuminated by the light of the soul, Gu Changwen, who was lying nervously on the metal table, immediately felt a deep sleepiness coming from the deepest part of his soul, and his eyelids closed involuntarily.
“Is this… starting?”
Gu Changwen was slightly startled, and then he felt his thoughts begin to stagnate, and it seemed that even his soul was falling into a state of silence.
After a little struggle, Gu Changwen realized that he was still unable to resist this force, so he had no choice but to succumb to sleepiness. With a trace of uneasiness and anticipation of mastering powerful power, he slowly fell into a deep sleep of his soul.
…
…
Suddenly, Gu Changwen opened his eyes abruptly and quickly sat up from lying down.
The cold metal platform beneath him made a teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting as he stood up.
"...Where is this?"
Gu Changwen looked around blankly, and his eyes gradually regained focus.
"This is... my home?!"
Gu Changwen looked at the familiar environment around him in some surprise, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly lowered his head.
The metal rings that were originally bound around his wrists and waist were broken by his sudden sitting up, and he himself did not feel the stagnation of the metal obstruction at all!
Looking at the twisted metal ring remaining on his right wrist, Gu Changwen's eyes became brighter and brighter.
He has realized what this means.
“The experiment was successful!”
"So what kind of power do I hold now?"
Thinking of this, Gu Changwen couldn't wait to jump off the metal platform.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Gu Changwen's feet sank into the ground instantly. The hard marble floor tiles began to ripple like water. Broken stones splashed in all directions like water, easily scratching the sofa and shattering the glass.
“Crack, crack—”
The floor-to-ceiling windows pierced by the rocks quickly cracked, and the cracks spread on the glass like a spider web.
Gu Changwen stared blankly at the scene in front of him. After a long time, he swallowed his saliva, carefully pulled his feet out of the ground, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window as lightly as possible.
Don't get me wrong, he came here not to check the broken glass, but because the sunlight shining in from the window made him feel a yearning and desire from the bottom of his heart, no, from the depths of his genes.
Finally, Gu Changwen stepped into the area covered by sunlight.
In an instant, every cell in the body sent out signals of warmth and comfort.
Countless energies that are difficult to detect with the naked eye flow into the body and are absorbed and stored by every cell in the body, thereby strengthening the body in a miraculous form.
Facing the warm sunshine outside the window, Gu Changwen subconsciously stretched his body, opened his arms, and squinted his eyes comfortably.
This feeling is like a long-awaited rain after a long drought. The whole body feels warm as if it has been soaked in a hot spring.
But soon, the brief period of comfort was over, and what followed was a symphony of reverberation that had nothing to do with beauty.
That is the ticking of the clock on the wall, the footsteps of people walking on the street, the friction between the soles of shoes and the ground, the vibration of the mobile phone when receiving a message, and the faint soothing music coming from the car when the car passes by...
“Sizzle—”
A sound like tearing cloth rang in Gu Changwen's ears.
Gu Changwen suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
At the street corner 800 meters away, a man who had just walked out of a clothing store was tearing off the label.
Gu Changwen stared at the man's actions in a daze, and suddenly heard the sound of countless whistling winds.
He immediately looked in the direction of the sound, but found that there was no so-called strong wind there. Instead, there was a young man in sportswear who was holding his knees, breathing heavily, as if he had just finished running.
The moment he saw the young man, Gu Changwen immediately realized the source of the strong wind -
That was not a whistling airflow, but the boy's breathing was heavier than others!
Gu Changwen stared at the young man through the glass window, across a distance of hundreds of meters.
Suddenly, his eyes felt warm and his pupils automatically zoomed under the effect of the energy, like a telescope, allowing him to clearly see the boy's tender face with the fuzz still on.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Changwen's brain began to work rapidly, and more information flooded into his mind frantically.
He covered his head in pain, and when he turned his eyes, the bustling and crowded street with cars coming and going suddenly came into his sight.
Countless details that had previously escaped his notice suddenly popped up and flooded into his mind.
The tiny cracks on the roadside stone tiles from the sun and rain, the dirt and stones mixed in the spinning wheels, the frequency and trajectory of the leaves in the green belt gently fluttering in the breeze, the brightness of the red and green lights when they flash alternately...
All the details are in sight in an instant!
It was at this moment that he finally realized what kind of powerful power he had obtained.
That is the power of Superman, the god on earth in the DC universe, or the Kryptonian!
Realizing this, Gu Changwen immediately began to control his senses like in the Superman movies.
"Concentrate...Concentrate..."
“Imagine an isolated island that blocks out all irrelevant information…”
Gu Changwen muttered to himself while blocking the information captured by his five senses one by one.
Gradually, the expression on his face calmed down, and when he opened his eyes again, the world before him was finally no longer so chaotic.
Gu Changwen lowered his head and clenched his fists lightly. The sound of air bursting suddenly came from his palms.
"So this is the power..."
A smile appeared on Gu Changwen's face.
Just when he was about to laugh heartily, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Well, I say it's great value for money!"
“…”
Gu Changwen turned his head suddenly and looked in astonishment at Zuo Yu, who was smiling on the sofa behind him, and Li Yun, who had a calm expression.
"You...when?!"
Gu Changwen looked at the two of them in astonishment.
He had clearly acquired superhuman perception, and even if a mosquito or fly flapped its wings ten miles away, it would not escape his ears. However, these two people were able to evade his perception and appeared in the living room without him noticing.
Zuo Yu smiled and said, "About two minutes ago, when you closed your eyes and controlled your senses."
Gu Changwen calmed himself down, looked at his right hand, and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I am still far from it!"
"It's already pretty good!" Zuo Yu stood up with a smile, walked to Gu Changwen, and pinched his arm. "Well, although the time spent in the sun is still relatively short, this level is already comparable to that of an S-class hero."
As he spoke, Zuo Yu turned to look at Li Yun and chuckled, "I tell you, the experiment will definitely succeed!"
Li Yun twitched his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "If you develop a serum version... leave one for me."
Zuo Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a share for you!"
Gu Changwen watched the interaction between the two in silence, and suddenly asked: "Can you tell me now, what exactly is this experiment?"
"Why do I have the powers of Superman in the movies?"
"..." Zuo Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Who told you that this is a superhuman ability?"
"Can you fly, do you have a bio-field, do you have heat vision?"
"You have none of that. You just gained the superpower of absorbing solar energy to strengthen your body!"
"...Is that so?" There was a hint of doubt in Gu Changwen's eyes.
"What else?" Zuo Yu shrugged and said with a smile, "What good would it be for me to lie to you?"
Too……
The suspicion in Gu Changwen's eyes gradually faded, but for some reason, he always felt that Zuo Yu seemed to be hiding something.
Before he could think about it, Zuo Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, now you have the power you always dreamed of, and I have successfully completed the experiment of the new product. Everyone is happy, and now it's time to get down to business."
"You've slept for eighteen hours, so you may not know what's going on in the plot right now."
"Genos has already become Saitama's disciple, and Mosquito Girl was slapped to death by Saitama. Next up is the House of Evolution!"
"I'm very interested in the genius scientist in the House of Evolution and would like to hire him to work for me. Your predecessor has a past with Saitama, right? Come with me!"
"If I run into Saitama, I can catch up with him and..."
Zuo Yu paused, then said with a smile: "You should also want to test the power you just gained, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Changwen was immediately moved.
He felt the power contained in his body, looked at Zuo Yu steadily and asked, "When do we set off?"
