Chapter 87 Successful Research on Dragon Blood Potion
As Li Engang walked into the corridor where the laboratory was located, he saw Melinda and Natasha standing at the door.
The two stood on either side of the wall, their shoulders gently leaning against it, their eyes simultaneously sweeping over.
"What, you were planning to rob someone, but you're just waiting here because you're afraid of Banner transforming?"
Melinda's eyebrows twitched.
She reported the news of the successful drug research to Coulson immediately.
Coulson spoke with Nick Fury one-on-one, and Fury questioned Natasha in detail about Bruce Banner.
Fury had already given orders in the past few days to have Natasha get close to Banner.
If it doesn't work with Lee En, it should be fine with Banner.
But Natasha did not succeed.
Bruce Banner is now solely focused on developing a drug to awaken Betty, who is still unconscious.
General Ross called him and asked him to return to the military to continue researching the super-soldier drug, but Banner refused.
He warned Ross to stop using that stuff, saying he was developing a more suitable alternative.
Ross was originally prepared to send troops to forcibly take over, but Nick Fury made a phone call to him, which temporarily calmed him down.
Natasha took two steps forward, came to Li En's side, leaned slightly closer, and said softly, "We didn't intend to steal anything; we're just here to protect the lab."
Li En smiled noncommittally, pushed open the laboratory door, and went inside.
"Li En, you're finally here! Come over here quickly." Dr. Connors greeted him with a smile and waved.
Bruce Banner also stood beside the lab table, smiling. A light blue shadow hung under his eyes, making him look somewhat tired, but in good spirits.
Li En walked to the two of them and stood down, looking at the white mouse in the glass box in front of them.
Connors pointed to the white mouse's healthy, long tail, his voice rising involuntarily: "This white mouse originally had a broken tail, but after using the atomized medicine, the broken tail not only grew back, but also became very strong." As he spoke, he reached out and tapped on the glass.
The white mouse was startled and scurried around the box, its long tail thrashing against the glass wall with a dull thud, and the whole box trembled slightly.
Bruce Banner flipped open the data panel in his hand and added, "The data shows that this mouse's overall quality has increased at least threefold, and its resilience has also been greatly enhanced."
"However—there's also a wider variety of food available now."
Li En stared at the white mouse's tail, calculating the force of the blow against the glass.
Five-centimeter-thick glass trembled as it was whipped by the tail of a white mouse.
If it keeps hitting the same spot repeatedly, it might actually break the glass.
"Was this based on the G virus?"
"Although it is based on the G virus and T virus, the current drug can no longer be called a virus."
Banner smiled and looked at Connors.
"Thanks to Dr. Connors's expertise in the field of biology."
Connors quickly waved his hand, a little embarrassed: "Without Dr. Banner's help in the field, it would have been impossible to make the cell nutrition drug."
"Cellular nutrition agents?" Li En immediately asked.
Even with his not-so-profound knowledge, he knew that viruses and cells were two different things.
Connors took a vial of purple medicine from the incubator next to the lab bench and handed it to Li En.
The glass tube felt slightly cool in my hand, and the liquid took on a deep violet hue under the fluorescent light.
When you shake it, you can see tiny bubbles rising slowly from the inside of the tube.
"That's right. Through our joint research, it is no longer a virus, but a nutrient that can be absorbed and strengthened by cells."
"It appears to be safe so far, with no side effects, but—" Connors paused, his expression turning serious.
"Human clinical trials are still needed, and I propose that I be the first test subject."
Even though it is a cell nutrition agent, theoretically, it will not cause any damage to human cells and has zero side effects.
But these are still just theories.
The differences between humans and mice are not minor and must be verified through experiments.
Regarding this matter, Banner once suggested that the military send over some death row inmates, but Connors firmly refused.
This approach is still unacceptable to him.
"Li En, the first test subject will be handed over to—"
Before Connors could finish speaking, his eyes widened.
Bruce Banner suddenly turned around, grabbed the electrodes from various instruments, and attached them to Li En's body.
Li En had already rolled up the sleeve of his right hand.
He held the vial of purple cell nutrition medicine in his left hand, aimed the needle at his forearm, and inserted it directly.
The piston was pushed all the way down, and the medicine was injected into the body within seconds.
He placed the empty syringe on the lab table and smiled at Connors: "My body is very strong, so it's safest for me to be the first test subject."
He has antibodies against the virus, so there are absolutely no issues with his safety.
Moreover, if something really goes wrong, there are still Erpis lying in the space warehouse, which can be injected at any time.
"Hurry up." Banner attached the last electrode to Li En's chest, pointed to the lab bed next to him, and said, "Go lie down."
.
Li En felt a warm current starting from his forearm, flowing along his blood vessels to his heart, and then pumping from his heart to his whole body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
But soaking in a hot spring is from the outside in, while this warm current comes from the inside out.
Every capillary was stretched open, and every cell felt as if it were soaking in a liquid at just the right temperature, making the whole person feel warm and cozy.
He lay on the lab bed, listening to the steady beeping of the instruments beside him, and closed his eyes.
The warm current lasted for about fifteen minutes before slowly dissipating.
He opened his eyes again, and there were four people around the bed.
Banner held the data panel, while Connors held the empty syringe.
Melinda leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, while Natasha stood at the foot of the bed, her gaze fixed on Lee En's newly opened eyes.
Li En extended her right hand, opened it, and then clenched it.
The muscles feel tighter and denser than before when they contract.
He brought up the character panel and his gaze fell on the silhouette in the center of the panel.
A new pattern has appeared on my right forearm that wasn't there before.
It is slender, curved, and has several irregular short forks along its edges.
He focused his consciousness on it, and a line of words appeared.
Brand: Constitution +5.
He thought for a moment and filled in two words in the nameable field: Dragon Blood.
Dragon Blood Mark: Constitution +5.
He removed the light screen, got off the bed, and stretched his body a little on the ground.
When the cervical spine twisted, it made a few clicking sounds. When the shoulder blades retracted, they made a very light friction sound. When the ten fingers clenched and then opened in turn, a series of crisp clicking sounds came from the joints.
He resisted the urge to immediately run to the school's wasteland and sprint at full speed, turning to look at the two PhD students: "Can this thing be mass-produced? What's the efficiency?"
Connors's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "We need those two viruses as a base."
"We now have a mature conversion method. The amount of virus liquid you gave me for the experiment can be used to make a tube of cell nutrition agent."
Li En quickly did the math in his head.
Previously, the data we studied for them was about one-tenth of the viral load.
Based on the previous calculation of one-third of the virus fluid volume, one vial of medicine can be made.
In other words, it can produce about twenty-seven more nutritional supplements.
He flipped his wrist, took out the virus, and handed it to Connors: "Make three first, one for you, and the other two for Frank and Bright."
He looked at Bruce Banner beside him.
"Wait until they all have no problems before making it for Betty."
"Okay, thank you, Lee En." Banner nodded quickly in thanks.
Li En has put the risk on him, Connors, Frank, and Bright; how can we not thank him properly?
Melinda and Natasha's eyes were fixed on the two tubes of virus.
Natasha suddenly asked, "Can cellular nutrition drugs only be produced based on these two viruses?"
"Yes, that's right." Banner nodded.
He wasn't lying; the nutritional supplements were indeed based on the G virus and the T virus.
However, both of these viruses are highly replicable, and in theory, mass production would not be difficult.
However, Li En had already privately instructed them that the nutritional supplements were not suitable for large-scale production at the moment.
Neither of them were stupid.
Melinda and Natasha were constantly at the lab, and the military wanted to get involved, but they hadn't sent anyone yet.
They can roughly guess how much political maneuvering is involved here.
So it was agreed long ago that only the virus in Li En's possession could produce the corresponding nutritional supplements.
Li En took the remaining eight doses of virus from Connors and suggested with a smile, "Let's call it Dragon Blood Potion. I'll go outside and test the extent of my body enhancement."
"Then I'll go out too and record the data." Banner picked up the tablet and followed Li En out of the lab.
Melinda and Natasha exchanged a glance.
"Go and take a look," Melinda said.
Natasha nodded and followed her out.
Melinda remained in the lab, leaning against the wall, her gaze fixed on the row of test tubes that Connors was working on.
On the wasteland in front of the school, Li En first did a set of radio calisthenics to stretch his body.
He casually swung his fist, the blade making a muffled whistling sound as it sliced through the air.
He bent his knees, squatted down, exerted his strength, and jumped towards the sky, leaving two shallow shoe prints on the ground.
He shot straight up until he was nearly five meters high before falling back down, his shoes hitting the ground with a dull thud.
"Based on previous data, your vertical jump was about two meters. Theoretically, if it doubled, it should now be close to four meters."
Banner's fingers swiped rapidly across the tablet, bringing up a comparison of Lee En's past and present data.
"I used to be able to jump less than two meters, but just now I jumped about five meters."
After landing, Li En did not pause and immediately began to jump left and right rapidly, silently counting the seconds in his mind.
Twenty seconds later he stopped and gave a number.
Then, lower your body, put your hands on the ground, sprint with all your might, and stop after running a certain distance.
"About fifty seconds."
He hopped back, his legs alternating, and asked Natasha, "Did you bring a pistol with rubber bullets?"
Natasha swiped her right hand across the outside of her thigh, and a pistol appeared in her palm.
She ejected the magazine in front of Lee Eun, pushing the bullet from the first to the last with her thumb; all of them were rubber bullets.
She slapped the magazine back onto the gun, gripped it tightly with both hands, and aimed the muzzle at Li En.
Li En jumped a few steps and stopped ten meters away.
He reached behind his back with his right hand and pulled out a vibranium dagger from his spatial storage.
"We can fire at any time."
Bang bang bang.
The moment the gunshot rang out, the dagger in Li En's hand began to move rapidly in front of him.
The rubber bullet struck the knife, slicing the bullet in two. The fragments of the bullet flew to both sides and bounced a few times on the ground.
After the entire magazine was emptied, fragments of cut rubber bullets were scattered on the ground.
Natasha tucked the pistol back to her outside thigh.
"I used a riot pistol, with a rate of fire of about 110 meters per second."
She looked at Li En, her gaze now more serious.
"His reflexes are very strong."
Banner nodded repeatedly and quickly took notes on the tablet.
Li En put the dagger back into his spatial storage and stretched his wrists: "Overall physical enhancement is about twice as strong, nerve reflex speed is about 1.3 times faster, and maximum burst speed is about 1.6 times faster."
"Of course, these are my personal feelings, not precise data."
He smirked and patted Banner's arm.
"We succeeded."
