Under a barrage of bullets, the strengthened bulletproof glass was riddled with cracks. Finally, it shattered with a bang. A group of armed personnel saw this and smiled. "Damn it, we finally broke this thing!" one of them exclaimed. "Charge! Let's give this guy a few shots and let him die a little more comfortably!" another added with a sinister grin. "Hehe, I'll go for a headshot, no one should try to steal it from me!" said a third as they quickly rushed in.
Meanwhile, inside the laboratory, Xu Luo had just completed his metamorphosis after enduring waves of pain. A warm current surged through his body, releasing bursts of explosive power. Lying on the ground, panting heavily, he clenched his fist, feeling the astonishing power surging within him. "Finally, it's done," he smiled with satisfaction. Hearing the sound of glass shattering, a cold light flickered in his eyes. "Next, it will be my territory," he thought as he quickly rolled and grabbed several sharp surgical knives from the experimental platform. These knives, originally used to dissect those who died from taking the wrong serum, now had a new purpose: to kill living people.
The security personnel were astounded to see Xu Luo stop screaming and swiftly roll onto the experimental platform. Their eyes widened with disbelief. "F**k! He's not dead?!" one of them shouted. "How is that possible?!" another echoed. "This speed... Did he... Did he succeed?" a third swallowed hard, fear creeping into his voice. After injecting the serum and enduring the pain without dying, Xu Luo's continued activity was a sight they'd never witnessed before.
In another room, the person in charge took a sharp breath, his words faltering. The Baron, noticing this, demanded to know what was happening. However, the person in charge was fixated on the lab, incredulous. "How... How is this possible?!" he exclaimed. "He clearly injected the serum! How can he still be alive and moving normally?" The Baron's breath hitched at this revelation. Injected the serum and still not dead? Still able to move normally? Considering the only possible outcome, the Baron took a cold breath and urgently questioned, "Did he succeed?! Did he succeed? Did he succeed?!!!"
Inside the laboratory, the security personnel, driven by fear, started shooting at the experimental platform. However, the metal platform couldn't be penetrated. They quickly moved to flank Xu Luo from behind. Listening to the direction of the gunshots, Xu Luo's brain worked swiftly. He popped his head out from the other side of the platform and hurled several surgical knives. Psst! Psst! One knife struck a person's forehead directly, another buried itself in someone's chest, while a third left only a small scar as it grazed past another. Even with a strong physique, Xu Luo's accuracy was not 100%. Landing a headshot sometimes came down to sheer luck.
There's no way around it; after all, Xu Luo had never fought before. Being able to do this is already very good. Several screams rang out as two people fell. One person died, and the other groaned in pain. Xu Luo pursued his advantage. He quickly dodged attacks, crossed several experimental tables at once, and rushed into the crowd. He still held a surgical knife in his hand, with a cold and sharp blade. During the fight, Xu Luo showed no signs of panic and was even terrifyingly calm. Even with continuous gunshots and imminent danger, he could still calmly think about how to fight, how to position himself, how to throw the knife, and how to kill. He didn't know if it was the effect of the Super Serum enhancing his willpower or the effect of his research abilities.
As Xu Luo charged into the crowd, the situation instantly reversed. He was like a ferocious wolf among sheep. The movements of these security personnel seemed slower in his eyes. Before the opponents could aim their guns at him, his surgical knife turned into a cold and bone-chilling arc, slashing across their throats! Warm and viscous blood splattered onto Xu Luo's stern face. Quickly, Xu Luo dealt with the security personnel in front of him as easily as cutting vegetables. The noisy gunshots disappeared, leaving only silence. Blood gushed out, and the bodies on the ground twitched slightly. On the ground, only Xu Luo stood tall. His face and body were splattered with blood. Combined with his stern expression and cold eyes, he looked like a blood-soaked demon.
"Resolved. Next, I'll go to the control room, get the data I want, and then break out." If possible, Xu Luo wouldn't mind staying and slaughtering everyone in the research institute, killing all the HYDRA soldiers and leaders. However, he didn't have the time for that because HYDRA could send reinforcements at any moment. He was currently just a strengthened super soldier, not the Hulk or Superman. If the enemy sent a large number of fully armed soldiers or more super soldiers, he wouldn't be able to handle it. So, he had to escape from this research institute before HYDRA reinforcements arrived. As for his grudge with HYDRA, he could settle it when he became stronger.
But before breaking out, he had to go to the control room because there was the data he needed. After all, HYDRA's research institute still had a lot of intelligence and information. He needed some people's information. For Xu Luo, the super soldier serum was far from enough. It was just a temporary solution to his current predicament. He needed even greater power to deal with HYDRA and future potential crises. He picked up a gun, a few magazines, and walked towards the outside. Fortunately, this was America, where almost everyone had experience with guns. His previous self was the same; otherwise, he might not even know how to aim or reload.
After doing all this, he poured flammable chemicals in the laboratory and lit a lighter, throwing it in. A raging fire ignited! Heat waves swept through the area, reflecting off Xu Luo's blood-stained cold face.
