Chapter 62: Heart-control pharmacy

In Canada, an artificial lake called Ekali. This is a large artificial levee built by the US government after the Second World War. This is to facilitate convenient artificial irrigation and to prevent summer flash floods in the area.
Because of the abundant precipitation in the area, the dam was formed into a large-scale artificial lake shortly after construction. This has caused the surrounding farmers and residents to start consciously migrating here. In just over a decade, a town of sufficient size has been formed.
For the residents of the town, the lake named Ekali has become an indispensable part of their lives. A great part of their lives come from this lake, which has been going on for generations. However, the residents here would not have imagined that the lakes they are familiar with and the dykes that have been abandoned for decades have hidden secrets.
Here is the secret base of General Strike, whose mysterious organization is hidden in this abandoned dam.
In order to transform the dam, he spent a lot of effort. Its main purpose is to prevent those who have a variety of abilities from entering and leaving. He regards the mutant as an enemy of his life, and even his own base is designed to deal with the mutant. In this base, in addition to the soldiers under his command, the most is the mutant who was imprisoned by him.
Decades of hard work have filled his base with his prisoners. Those are all variants from all over the world. Some of them were transferred to the place after the crime was arrested, but more were arrested by his men. Before that, they would not consider whether the people they caught were good or bad. Even more, many of the mutants they caught were still children.
In the eyes of Strike and his soldiers, the mutants are not human beings. At this point, even the children of the mutants are the same, they have no burden at all. It is even possible to watch these mutants as if they were animals, and carry out a variety of experiments that are not humane.
Just like now.
A continually struggling mutant was locked firmly in a seat, and several guys in white coats turned a small hole in his skull with a high-speed wig and then used a slender needle to A liquid that looks a bit strange in color is injected.
The soldiers around did not even change their expressions. It seems that in their eyes, the guy being tested is not a human being, but a white mouse with a human appearance. They are used to it, accustomed to everything in front of them, accustomed to the mourning and screams in their ears. This is already an indispensable part of their daily lives.
No one is interested in the pleading and pain of their experimental products. What they are interested in is the results of this experiment.
The pupils who watched the mutants who were working as experimental animals gradually dispersed, and the struggle was slowly stopped. Instead of the physiological fluctuations of the previous few times, the situation was almost out of control, and several white coats around him looked at each other. They saw a common look - joy from each other's eyes.
"General, we seem to have succeeded." A guy in a white coat said to an unsmiling man standing next to them.
This is a man who, although his hair is already whitish, still looks quite tough. He wears old-fashioned glasses, a neatly groomed beard and a closed lip showing that he is a rather serious guy. The straight waist and steady pace made his behavior full of military color. This is William. General Stricker, the supreme commander of this secret military base.
Upon hearing the researcher's report, General Stricker walked quickly to the side of the experimental product. If it is in peacetime, the mutant here sees him coming to himself, even if he does not hate his teeth, he will cringe like a frightened beggar. He is the devil in the eyes of all the mutants, and he will not deny it.
At this moment, the look of this mutant is somewhat weird. His eyes were staring at Stryker, but there was no fluctuation in it, as if he were facing a stranger. This can't sum up all his abnormalities. If you want to describe it, you can only say that his expression is unusually pure, just like a baby.
Stricker looked at his look, and after a moment he put his blunt face in front of him, and gently told him in this close-knit situation.
"Listen, Kane. I am your most respected person. You have always listened to my instructions. No matter what I let you do, you will do it. You always think that everything I say is right, in order to complete I will do it at all costs, whatever I am saying."
A mutant called Kane stared at Stryker and seemed to understand what he meant.
Looking at Kane's reaction, Stricker waved and said: "Soldier, untie his bondage."
"General, I don't recommend you to do this. The ability of the experimental body 254 is very dangerous. We don't have to experiment in this way!" Bai Dazhen on the side listened to Stryker's orders and quickly advised him.
This is only the most preliminary experimental result. It is not necessary to use this dangerous way to confirm the effect of the experiment. If the experiment body is really out of control, with his ability, it is very likely to pose a huge danger to everyone present. Not only Stryker, even they may be injured or even die.
"One of the most important reasons why I don't like these guys is that you really don't have a bit of guts." Strike pulled the corner of his mouth, which is the most expression he wants to show. "Complete my order, the soldier. Open his bondage."
For the soldiers here, Stryker’s orders need to be executed unconditionally. Whether they are really as the researcher said, they will be in danger.
Under the orders of Strike, several soldiers stepped forward. They opened the lock on Kane's limbs and released him completely from the hard steel seat.
Kane, who left the seat, didn't have any worrying behavior. He looked around and slowly walked behind Stryker, just like his shadow.
Stryker's mouth pulled out the curved arc, and it was clear that Kane's performance made him very satisfied.
"Very good, Kane. Now, I command you, turn around." He turned and whispered to Kane behind him.
Kane heard a little back two steps, and then the whole person began to make a huge change. His body is rapidly pulling up and the texture of the skin appears as if it were wood. Soon, his whole body became like this, and it looked like a huge figure carved in wood.
"No, no, Kane. It's not like this little fight. I want you to be your most terrible form. That huge form."
Kane's wood-like eyes turned a few times and showed some hesitation. But soon he nodded and the body that had been more than two meters high changed again.
The woody skin began to crawl quickly over the bark-like outer shell, and his height rose upward again, quickly reaching the top of the lab. In his head, the skull has changed into an outwardly dispersed shape, with a thick layer of green leaves covering his entire head. At first glance, it feels like you look at the crown of a tree again.
And his physical changes are equally astonishing. The huge arm can't see the shape of the human arm, but the stout stump with the roots. The stump with the waist of the ordinary person extends from the shoulder and swings with the shaking of his shoulder. In his lower body, the same stump stands there, the difference is that the roots of his lower body are stronger and stronger. These thick roots even shredded the thick concrete floor and firmly tied themselves deep into the land.
At this time, Kane had no way of seeing the human being. He had to say something. He seemed to be a big tree with a slightly human figure.
This is the ability of the treeman Kane. He can be fully released into a four-meter-high humanoid tree. In this form, he can make slow activities, but it can be used extremely power. A huge stump of the arm alone can cause a heavy impact of about two tons. And as long as the roots of the tree are deeply rooted on the ground, she will continue to absorb nutrients and strength from the land and recover from various injuries.
And his hard woody skin can even block bullets from normal automatic weapons.
In the record in the hands of Stryker, the power, defensive ability, and resilience of the treeman Kane are beyond the level of the general mutant. It is also a very dangerous type among the many prisoners under his command.
However, this danger is completely within the scope of uniforms. Because Kane’s ability is not always sustainable. If Kane maintains this ability for a long time, his brain will gradually become woodized, and by that time he will really become a tree. Therefore, he will take the initiative to remove this form after a certain period of time, and this time is not long, only about an hour or two.
Looking at Kane's transformation into a huge tree, Stryker did not have any accidents. He is waiting and waiting for the final result. See if Kane will always follow his orders, or take the initiative to lift this form out of self-protection.
Time passed by in a minute, and Kane’s look looked like a contoured bark face with a tough look. However, he did not move and still maintained his own form of tree. And Strike looked at him like this, watching his look getting stiffer, watching his slightly swaying action gradually calm down, watching him turn into a real tree in front of him.
Two hours later, Stryker knocked on Kane's body, and the hard body came out with a dull sound. That is the sound of quality wood.
"Kane, Kane. Hear, please come back!" He tried to call a few times, but Kane, who had become a tree, had completely lost his ability to speak. Although he is still alive from the perspective of life, from the human point of view, he is actually dead. The brain is dead.
Stryker, who couldn't wait for Kane to return, took out his own gun and shot a few times on the tree. The bullet rips open the outer bark, but it is embedded in the middle of the wood. If it is the usual Kane, he can still feel the pain, there may be some movements. But now, the whole tree is still.
"It seems to be really useful!" came to the conclusion that Stricker put away the gun and ignored the trees in front of him. "Soldier, pack up this guy. Chop it up and throw it out. Don't stay here!"
"Now, tell me. How much do you have to repeat such an experiment? How much dose can you make?"
Bai Dawei discussed it and responded quickly.
"In the case where the raw materials can support, we can make a dose of about ten people. If more is needed, at least wait until the experimental body 147 recovers itself."
"First use all the materials on the handle. I have plans to use them." Stricker waved and told him to go down. Then I looked outside the lab.
There, many prisoners were watching him with a sad and hateful look. They are all mutants.
"The mutants are a very useful tool. With them, my plan will be realized soon." So self-talking, Stryker slammed his fist. He waited for this day for too long.
