Chapter 38: The Lizard
Lieutenant Zod is an excellent army grassroots commander. He graduated from the famous West Point Military Academy and participated in many campaigns against terrorist organizations.
He once had great military achievements and was a rising star in the military. But that was all in the past. Ever since he was hit by a roadside bomb in Baghdad and lost both his legs and one arm.
He was no longer the popular Lieutenant Zod. The Army awarded him a medal of bravery. This bronze medal was produced in Zhongshan City, Guangdong, China, and the cost of one was only 18 yuan.
If the U.S. military's order volume is large enough, the Chinese manufacturer will also ship it directly to the Pentagon. The military uses this 18-yuan medal to express its appreciation for Zod's heroic contributions to the U.S. military.
Then he was like many of his injured companions, who were paid a pension by the government and dumped in a hospital for disabled veterans to fend for themselves.
The once handsome, confident and charming Lieutenant Zod is dead. Now there is only a Zod who is like a walking corpse, waiting for death in a daze.
Until today, Dr. Sean talked to him. Osborne Group is going to test a new type of serum. There has been a breakthrough in animal testing.
The human experiment of regenerating the limbs of mice with broken legs has a high probability of success. Dr. Sean encourages Zod to participate in this experiment.
As long as the experiment is successful, he will be reborn, and the high-spirited Zod will come back. Zod's dead heart will come back to life again.
Doctor Sean injected all the serum into Zod's body. "In a moment, you will return to your original appearance, handsome and elegant." Doctor Sean smiled faintly.
"I just hope to be able to stand up and walk again." Zod replied. The serum entered Zod's body, and the lizard's genes were more aggressive than human genes.
The gene chains in Zod's body are constantly being interrupted and reorganized. The old gene chains are being eliminated and new gene chains are being generated.
"I'm sorry to do this, but this is a safety procedure." Dr. Sean said to Zod, and at the same time signaled the assistants on both sides to come forward, tie a safety strap on Zod, and secure him firmly to the bed.
Because no one knows what kind of dangers this experiment may bring, this is almost a necessary safety item. "Zod, have a good rest. When you wake up, you will find that you are cured." Dr. Sean's words were incredibly hollow, and his hypocritical expression was as ridiculous as a parent who deceives his child that there is a ghost in the closet.
Zod was tied to the hospital bed and did not answer. He was more eager for the experiment to succeed than anyone else.
Dr. Sean left the operating room and closed the door. He stood in the monitoring room and observed Zod's changes through the camera.
The mutation of the lizard's genes was faster than expected. Zod's body began to change in just 20 minutes. His severed limbs began to grow!
Just like a silkworm weaving a cocoon, calluses begin to grow layer by layer on the broken limbs. This is actually a state where the skin is rapidly regenerated and rapidly aged.
"Provide Zod with more artificial nutrition to speed up the repair of his limbs." Dr. Sean was a little surprised by the serum tested by the Osborne Group this time. If this serum is really successful, it will change the world.
He also had some expectations, so he increased Zod's nutritional supplements. After all, growing a severed limb is a consumption process, and he is essentially consuming the energy and nutrients in his body to allow the severed limb to continue growing.
Under the order of Dr. Sean, the nutrient solution that was originally injected slowly into Zod began to be injected faster. A large amount of nutrients replenished Zod's body's consumption, allowing his severed limbs to grow faster.
The one who felt everything most clearly was Zod himself. He felt that his originally mutilated limbs were growing rapidly.
The growth of his limbs was accompanied by excruciating pain, as if his bones were being broken into pieces and then pieced together again.
But Zod gritted his teeth and endured it without making a scream. Have you ever experienced despair? It is an experience more terrible than any pain, and it will make you unable to even die.
Zod has been struggling in despair for a long time. He wants to see his own rebirth with his own eyes! He wants to trample those who abandoned him under his feet!
It was unknown how long it had been, but it felt like a century of suffering for Zod. He no longer felt the pain of regrowing his limbs, but instead began to feel a new sensation.
This feeling is so familiar, yes! These are the hands and legs I lost! Zod is still tied to the bed, but he still tried to move his new hands and ankles.
How long has it been since I felt this way? How wonderful this feeling is! No healthy person can understand the pain of this disability!
As Zod moved, the calluses that had covered his new limbs began to fall off layer by layer. A new arm, two new thighs.
The skin of the newborn limbs is as smooth as that of a baby. "It's incredible!" Dr. Sean exclaimed in the monitoring room. "It's simply a miracle of mankind!"
Just as Dr. Sean was admiring the new technology of the Osborn Group, Zod changed.
A pain from deep in his bones shattered Zod, who was just happy about getting a new limb. The violent lizard gene replicated and spread rapidly in his body at an irreversible speed.
Zod's gene chain was completely destroyed, the genes belonging to the human part became fewer and fewer, while the genes belonging to the lizard became more and more!
The genetic changes also began to show up on the surface of Zod's body, starting with the new limbs. Zod's body began to turn green little by little.
Then lizard-like scales began to attach to his body, and his muscles began to swell, growing wildly like a balloon.
At this time, the machine that supplied Zod with nutrient solution was still working hard. A large amount of nutrients were added to Zod's body, making his changes more drastic.
His hands had turned into a pair of huge claws, and his nails had become deadly weapons. And behind him grew a three-meter-long tail!
The safety belts that bound Zod had all broken as Zod's body expanded and grew. "Damn it. Looks like the experiment has failed. Call security and kill that monster." Dr. Sean said a little disappointedly.
When five security guards with SCAR assault rifles arrived at the operating room, Zod had already turned into a behemoth nearly four meters tall and weighing nearly two tons! This volume is almost the size of an adult Asian elephant.
"What the hell! What the hell is this!" The security captain cursed at the monster in front of him. "Fire! Fire! Focus your firepower on its heart!"
Zod, who has mutated into a monster, has not completely lost his mind yet. The result of mutating into a humanoid lizard is not what he wants!
He wanted to be a human being instead of a monster! He felt that he had no place to vent his anger.
Zod's eyes became redder and redder, and the part of the lizard gene that amplified anger and animality began to show its power.
What completely ignited this anger and bestiality were the guns in the hands of the security guards! Following the order of the security captain, five SCAR assault rifles began to fiercely attack Zod's torso, especially his heart.
Before Zod could react, he was hit hard by an assault rifle at close range. Five SCAR assault rifles formed a dense fire net.
Zod felt the pain from the bullets hitting his body. As an excellent soldier, Zod knew the power of this rifle. He tried his best to dodge the bullets, but the operating room was only this big, and there was nowhere to hide under the fire.
After firing hundreds of rounds, the security captain saw the monster in front of him curled up into a ball, seemingly dead, so he signaled his team members not to open fire.
He slowly approached the monster with his gun in hand, wanting to see if it was dead or not. He didn't believe anything could survive such intensive firepower.
Just as he approached the monster, the monster, which he thought was dead, suddenly rioted. A sharp claw pierced the captain's chest when he was completely unprepared.
Zod grabbed the captain's body with a huge claw, and looked at the other four security guards who shot at him with red eyes. The wounds on the places where he was originally injured by bullets were healing quickly.
Zod has been completely controlled by the animality of the lizard gene, and he roared loudly. "You all must die!"
