Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Sokovia, Hydra base.

With a look from Baron Strucker, the trembling noncommissioned officer rolled away and ran away - he was less afraid of Strucker. The key was that the lizard man talking to Strucker was really a bit scary.

"Professor Connors, um...or should I call you Professor Lizard?" Strucker asked.

"Call me Professor Lizard, Connors is my cowardly state before evolution," Professor Lizard shook his head, "Now that I am no longer an inferior species like humans, there is no need to use human names anymore."

"Okay, Professor Lizard." Strucker smiled on the surface and cursed the stupid reptile in his heart.

"Baron, where is what I want?" Professor Lizard asked.

Straker snapped his fingers, and a researcher brought a metal suitcase over and handed it to Professor Lizard cautiously.

"Here are the samples of the Extremis virus. Although Dr. Killian has agreed to cooperate with us, according to the cooperation treaty, he will only provide us with the finished Extremis virus, but will not provide any relevant research information, so I hope Professor, you can crack the manufacturing method of these things, otherwise we will have to keep trading with Killian," Struck said, "And one thing I am curious about, professor, how do you know that Killian also has the Extremis virus? existing?"

"When I was a human with mutilated limbs, while studying lizard genes, I also used many methods to try to restore my arms, such as equipping myself with mechanical arms, or using some kind of reverse restoration genetic engineering. , including Killian's terminal virus." Professor Lizard hooked the metal suitcase with the tip of his claws and placed it in front of his eyes. He licked the corner of his mouth with his forked tongue. "I was still a researcher at the Osborn Group at the time, and Killian had To invite me to join A.I.M., the 'Pioneer Technology Company' he formed, he showed me the Extremis virus."

"The Extremis virus will activate the part of the host's brain that is responsible for the self-healing ability, promote the host's self-healing and repair, and enhance the host's physical fitness to a certain extent - of course, the improvement is very limited," Professor Lizard said, "I took a few small Experiments were conducted on white mice. It was found that the Extremis virus does have an extremely powerful recovery ability. Even if all the limbs and tail of the white mouse are cut off, it can still recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. In addition to its recovery ability, it can also make the host in the body and The body surface generates high temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius.”

"Is this thing so useful?" Struck was filled with enthusiasm, but he immediately responded, "Then why didn't Professor You inject the Extremis virus to restore the missing arm?"

"Because although it is powerful, it also has a small flaw," Professor Lizard sneered. "The host of the injected virus will easily explode. The explosion is very powerful and will leave the person who released it dead. No matter how powerful the virus is, it will self-destruct." No one with any healing ability can survive a self-destruction, so I didn’t even consider this method at first.”

Baron Strucker suddenly said: "So you want to use the Extremis virus to strengthen Deadpool?"

"Yes," Professor Lizard nodded, "Aren't you worried that the created Deadpool will be controlled by Lu Mingfei? The Extremis virus can solve this problem. When I was at Hydra's S.H.I.E.L.D. branch, they I tried to put a micro bomb on Deadpool to assassinate Lu Mingfei, and when Deadpool was close to Lu Mingfei, I detonated the bomb and killed Lu Mingfei. Although the plan failed, Lu Mingfei was indeed injured at the time, so Proving that this plan is feasible, it just requires a more powerful bomb."

"The power of the Extremis virus when it self-destructs depends to a large extent on the host's own strength. When an ordinary person is injected with the Extremis virus, it is equivalent to a C4 bomb at most, but with Deadpool's physical fitness, the explosion will be hundreds of times more powerful. Not only that," Professor Lizard explained, "Lu Mingfei would be killed instantly if he was unprepared."

"Great! Then I'm looking forward to your results, Professor!" Straker's eyes lit up - the biggest hidden danger in the plan to create Deadpool is that the control of Deadpool is in the hands of Lu Mingfei. As long as this can be solved The problem is, Deadpool is the most faithful biological weapon.

Professor Lizard took the box of Extremis Virus and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute, professor, I almost forgot to tell you," Struck said, "Our branch has a new veteran, Dr. Zola."

A human face composed of data streams appeared on a screen: "Hello."

Professor Lizard turned to look at Strucker, his eyes as cold as some kind of inorganic gem.

Straker's expression remained unchanged: "Dr. Zola transferred his consciousness into a computer after suffering from a terminal illness. Now he is a super artificial intelligence. How about letting him assist your research in the future? Dr. Zola's computing power and The model building capabilities are not comparable to those of ordinary computer programs.”

"No need," Professor Lizard narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'm used to the previous research methods."

"You can try more different research methods. Didn't someone say that science requires the courage to explore..." Baron Strucker continued to persuade.

Professor Lizard's vertical pupils suddenly expanded, and a bit of fiery gold rushed out from the depths of his pupils, dyeing his pupils into a cold golden color: "I said, no need."

Straker shuddered: "Okay... okay."

Carrying the metal suitcase, Professor Lizard turned and left.

Watching the majestic green figure close the door, after a moment, the footsteps outside the door also disappeared, and then Baron Struck spoke viciously: "Damn reptile! Sooner or later, I will tie you to the test stand!"

"It seems that your plan to let me monitor his research failed." Dr. Zola said.

"Can't you hack into his computer secretly?" Baron Strucker asked.

"All his valuable research materials are written with pen and paper and kept in the safe in the room. You might as well find an agent who is good at picking locks and try it." Dr. Zola said.

"Forget it," Baron Strucker shook his head, "Anyway, the control of Deadpool is in our hands. Even if he rebels, we can counterattack. Besides, besides Deadpool, the power of the scepter is beyond our imagination. …In short, there is no need to create extraneous matters now.”

…

Hydra base, in Professor Lizard's room.

"...Anyway, there is no need to create extraneous matters now."

As the invisible Kamaitachi sent Baron Strucker's last words back to his ears, Professor Lizard sneered and opened his eyes.

Yes, the highest control of Deadpool is currently in the hands of Hydra. Their brainwashing technology is indeed powerful. Even after transforming his own bloodline, Professor Lizard still cannot forcefully command those Deadpools based on his bloodline advantage.

But that doesn't mean he will be controlled by Hydra.

He asked Hydra to go to Killian to obtain the Extremis virus. In addition to creating a Deadpool that could kill Lu Mingfei, there was also a more important reason - he also needed the Extremis virus.

He patted the wall of his room twice, and the secret door on the wall opened, revealing behind it. Professor Lizard put the medicine containing the terminal virus on the bottom of the cabinet. There were two quartz test tubes on the upper floor of the cabinet, one with a translucent tube. green potion, one containing dark red liquid.

The translucent green potion is a specially enhanced lizard potion that can make him stronger, but he hasn't injected it yet.

The dark red liquid was discovered during the process of making Deadpool - to be precise, this dark red liquid was his ultimate goal. The various Deadpools created during this period were just by-products. .

He had previously relied on a diluted and degraded version of this potion to allow himself to complete his second evolution, gaining power similar to that of Deadpool while retaining his sanity.

But this is far from enough. Just this cannot be called evolution. If he wants to realize the perfect evolution in his mind, he must at least inject the dark red potion into his body and complete the transformation.

However, this potion is too corrosive. Relying on his self-healing ability as a lizard man, Professor Lizard could barely survive the physical transformation of the diluted version of the evolutionary potion. If he used the full version of the potion, he estimated that he would He will also become Deadpool.

That's why he needed Killian's Extremis virus.

The enhanced lizard potion, coupled with the recovery ability of the Extremis virus, should be able to resist the erosion of the evolution potion.

However, according to previous research, he still needs a lot of energy during this evolutionary process.

It can be said that as long as he has sufficient energy supply and uses these three potions at the same time, he can evolve into a perfect ultimate creature, and by then he will naturally be able to easily command Deadpool who was brainwashed by Hydra.

It's just...where to get so much energy?

Professor Lizard closed the secret door and sat at his desk, his pupils turning.

…

Seoul, South Korea, on the top floor of a building, in a laboratory.

Lu Mingfei and Natasha were led in by a beautiful female doctor in a white coat.

"Are you Mr. Lu Mingfei?" The female doctor in a white coat smiled and stretched out her hand to Lu Mingfei, "I once heard Mr. Stark mention you at several academic exchange meetings. He said that you have a bright future. A super genius, a rising star in academia—but far worse than him."

Lu Mingfei shook hands with the female doctor: "Thank you, you are the Dr. Helen Zhao that Tony mentioned, right? Nice to meet you."

"I am also honored to meet you, the 'god' who saved New York." Zhao Hailun looked at Lu Mingfei, blinked, and showed a shallow smile.

Natasha's face turned dark as she recalled her fear of being dominated by endless overtime nightmares.

"It's all a misunderstanding. I'm just a stronger superpower," Lu Mingfei said a little embarrassed, "Actually, if I really want to say it, I would rather be an inventor like Tony."

"Please don't imitate Mr. Stark's character. Just imitate his talent," Zhao Hailun said. "I had the honor to chat with him several times. If it weren't for his personality, his evaluation in the academic world would never be the same." So…polarizing.”

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but twitch his lips - Tony's reputation among his peers seems to be very bad?

"Dr. Zhao, how is the director's situation?" Natasha interrupted the conversation between Lu Mingfei and Helen Zhao.

"My assistant is already transferring him to the regeneration cradle. When the preparations are ready, just ask Mr. Lu Mingfei to thaw him and his body can be repaired," Zhao Hailun said.

"Dr. Zhao, can you tell me about the regenerative cradle technology?" Lu Mingfei looked curious.

As a scientific researcher, he was indeed very curious about the regenerative cradle. After all, this was a technology that even Tony would praise, but it was made by a young scholar like Helen Zhao.

And theoretically speaking, the regenerative cradle can even heal injuries like Fury's who were frozen to death, and it should also be able to heal Strange's hands.

"To put it simply, the regenerative cradle can create an instant molecular bridge, which can maintain the normal operation of all biological tissues while allowing the injured tissues of the human body to be combined with artificial biological tissues to restore the injuries suffered," Zhao Helen explained, "If the human body is Likened to a polymer made of Lego bricks, the regenerative cradle is the universal glue.”

"Generally speaking, like Fury...well, that should be his name, right? Anyway, he is the black man with a stewed egg on his head. His injuries are the best repair area of ​​Regeneration Cradle, because although the biological tissue in his body is It will be seriously damaged during the thawing process, but there is nothing missing, so it can be restored quickly. You can think of it as a person made of Lego bricks. Although it falls apart, there is no loss of bricks, and it can be glued back together."

"But for people who are missing part of their limbs, in order to avoid the rejection reaction of using other biological tissues, they need to use their own cells to cultivate the corresponding biological tissues before they can repair the injuries. This is very troublesome," Zhao Hailun said. , "It's like a Lego man who has had some of his bricks taken away. Although he can stick them together, he has to prepare replacement bricks first."

"So so far, the regenerative cradle is actually only a semi-finished product, because I haven't found a way to quickly cultivate body tissue for people with limb defects. After human cells are highly differentiated, they have lost the ability to divide and regenerate, and only a small amount remains in the umbilical cord. stem cells." Zhao Hailun said, "But don't worry, this shortcoming has nothing to do with your friend. His biological tissue is very complete, but it will become slightly softer during the thawing process, and it can be easily restored."

"I understand, the taste of frozen meat will deteriorate after it is thawed." Lu Mingfei nodded.

Natasha:…

Helen Zhao flipped up her hanging hair. She always felt that the example Lu Mingfei gave was a bit strange, but she had to admit that it was very appropriate.

"But I do have some ideas about the technology of cultivating biological tissue." Lu Mingfei said, rubbing his chin.

Since getting the source code of Norma, he has shifted the focus of his studies from computers to alchemy and biotechnology. He happened to have seen a research project in the equipment department, which was trying to revert highly differentiated human cells into stem cells. , which was later sealed for more than ten years because of its high technical difficulty.

Lu Mingfei had learned about that project and found that although it was difficult to do it simply using technological means, it seemed not impossible when combined with alchemy - of course, the difficulty was still very high.

Therefore, although the benefits of this project are huge, it is still judged to be extremely cost-effective.

But the Dr. Zhao in front of him is the one who invented the black technology of regenerative cradle. Maybe she can perfect this technology with him?

"Do you have any idea?" Zhao Hailun's eyes lit up, "Let's go to my laboratory to chat! There is a full set of equipment there!"

"Isn't this your laboratory?" Lu Mingfei was confused.

"There is also my private laboratory on the other side of this floor. Follow me." Helen Zhao explained as she led Lu Mingfei out of the large laboratory.

"Okay, let's go!" Lu Mingfei also followed her with excitement - if he perfects this technique, he will be able to walk sideways in the equipment department in the future!

If someone else said that she had a way to perfect the regeneration cradle, she would definitely doubt it, but Lu Mingfei is a genius who has been praised many times by even people like Tony who have high standards, so Helen Zhao has no doubts about Lu Mingfei's words. , couldn’t wait to pull him to try it.

"You just left like that?" Natasha looked at Lu Mingfei and Helen Zhao leaving with a confused look on their faces, "What about the director?"

"It's not too late to unfreeze him after we finish talking. Natasha, if you're bored of waiting, you can go to the fourth floor. When I came up, I found a TV playing Tom and Jerry."

Lu Mingfei waved to Natasha, and then walked out of the laboratory door with Helen Zhao, leaving Natasha standing there with her arms folded, looking at Lu Mingfei's leaving figure with a dark face.

…

at the same time.

Tony was learning magic from the spirit of the Ancient One in his laboratory. After finishing a class, he was resting.

While drinking water, Tony was thinking in his mind - he didn't know how Lu Mingfei and Helen Zhao were getting along, or whether they had any feelings of affection.
