Chapter 393: Gene Monster! Cancer Cells Mutation!
"Oh, beautiful lady, are you sure injecting that stuff into me can cure my cancer? Maybe before the experiment starts, I should buy myself some insurance. Damn, I forgot about that. But given my situation, insurance companies would probably refuse me outright. Wait, golden ideas are suddenly gushing out of my brain like diarrhea.
How about we sign a wager? Let's call it Dead Pool. If I don't die, you give me 100,000 US dollars, no, 200,000. If I unfortunately die, then my lovely corpse is yours to dispose of as you please. I guarantee this wager is extremely fair, and you have a great chance of winning."
"Can someone sew his mouth shut for me?" Stryker felt like a swarm of flies was buzzing in his ears.
"What the f*ck, that's a vicious suggestion! Do you want to turn me into a mute? I'd rather shoot myself in the head." Wade, on the operating table, protested.
"As long as you promise to shut up during the upcoming experiment, I'll agree to sign the wager with you."
Stryker walked up to Wade, his expression cold.
"OK, for 200,000 US dollars, I can do that."
"Can you use drugs to wash away his memory?" Stryker glanced at Wade, then whispered into the female doctor's ear.
"Yes, but it would take a long time to completely clear his memory."
The female doctor replied while taking out the pre-prepared Wolverine Gene Serum.
"Then forget it." Although Stryker really wanted to brainwash Wade into his own killing machine, time didn't allow it. "The experiment can begin."
"Understood."
The female doctor hung the bagged serum she held on the rack beside the operating table, then, in front of Stryker, slowly pushed the needle tip into a blood vessel of Wade's left arm.
Soon after, Wade had a quite violent reaction. His body began to twist, and the sweat seeping out instantly soaked the mattress. "Ah..." A suppressed roar sounded from his mouth, quickly spreading throughout the entire Laboratory.
Pain was clearly visible on Wade's face, but he was still trying his best to endure it. His eyes gradually became bloodshot with hideous veins, and his skin began to fester as if melting.
"Things don't look good." Stryker, standing beside the operating table, was expressionless, deliberately ignoring Wade's pain.
The female doctor didn't answer, but continuously injected various nutrient liquids into Wade.
As time passed, over 90% of Wade's skin had festered beyond recognition. Blood pooled beneath him, and in some rotting flesh and muscle tissues, pale bone was even exposed. This pain was simply unimaginable. If he could choose, Wade would rather die than endure this bone-deep pain! Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Stryker's eyes. Just as he was about to turn and leave, the female doctor beside him let out a surprised 'Huh'.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Stryker asked.
"Look, his wounds actually show signs of healing." The female doctor looked at Wade as if he were a new toy.
Meanwhile, a miracle-like change occurred within Wade's body. Stimulated by the Wolverine Gene Serum, the cancer cells in his body actually fused and repelled each other with the regeneration ability.
It's important to know that cancer cells themselves are a type of extremely tenacious cells. They evade the immune system's pursuit by secreting cytokines, and to prevent being wiped out by the immune system, they also expand their living space through continuous proliferation and diffusion, and produce heterogeneous forms through continuous mutation. This led to the regeneration ability in Wade's body wanting to eradicate the cancer cells to achieve a cure.
But the cancer cells didn't want to die, thus they could only engage in a military race with the regeneration ability.
During this process, Wade was essentially bouncing back and forth between life and death. If it were an ordinary human, they would have died long ago. However, Wade was not an ordinary human after all. His willpower was like a string that repeatedly broke and reconnected. Finally, the regeneration ability and cancer cells reached a mutual compromise, achieving a delicate balance.
"This is simply a miracle..." Stryker watched Wade's wounds heal at a speed visible to the naked eye and couldn't help but exclaim.
However, although the wounds healed, dense and ugly scars were left on Wade's body.
"The fusion was successful?"
Stryker raised the corner of his mouth, his smile gradually becoming fanatical.
"Continue, inject the genes of other mutants into his body as well." he said impatiently.
But the female doctor beside him frowned.
"It should be considered successful, but his situation still doesn't look optimistic. I suggest observing for a while before considering injecting the second and third types of serum."
"How many mutant abilities can he accommodate at most?" As Dr. Trask's subordinate, Stryker possessed a large amount of mutant gene serum, including White Queen's Diamond Form and Dragonfly Woman's Flight.
"I don't know, I don't have enough experiment data. However, his situation, where the cancer cells in his body underwent mutation, might allow him to possess several abilities simultaneously."
"Very good. Once his situation stabilizes, inject the second serum. I want him to have the strongest abilities: Regeneration, Teleportation, Diamond!" At this moment, Stryker was full of confidence. He didn't believe that a Deadpool fused with these three abilities couldn't take down a mere Homelander!

Xia Shang took the serum Hank handed him, looked at the clear liquid in the glass tube, and said, "Not bad, I didn't expect you to develop the serum I wanted so quickly."
"It wasn't difficult. I've already told Dr. Alec the method for developing the serum." Hank's purpose for coming this time, besides giving the serum to Xia Shang, was to take this opportunity to propose leaving.
"I've helped you minimize the side effect of the Temporary Compound V. May I ask when you can let me leave? Also, you promised me you would portray Homelander as a mutant hero through the newspaper and help Charles rebuild Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."
"Don't worry, I've always kept my word. Since I promised you something, I will definitely do it."
Xia Shang stood up, walked from behind the desk to Hank, and said with a smile.
"As for letting you leave..." He extended his arm, pointing towards the main door of the office. "This cooperation was very pleasant. If you want to leave, I will absolutely not stop you."
