In the pure white room.

The dazzling red light flickered on the faces of the scientific researchers with a hint of horror and fear.

The human-shaped pattern on the screen,

Every part of the body was marked with flashing crimson exclamation points.

“Teacher, what should we do?”

Behind the white-robed old man, a middle-aged scientific researcher anxiously asked.

As time passed, Xiang Li’s body continued to deteriorate.

A large number of cells died from direct contact with radioactive substances.

The flow of blood inside the body noticeably slowed, and extensive necrosis occurred.

Even the gene sequence seemed to collapse.

Researchers worried that if this continued, Xiang Li’s body might suffer irreversible damage.

At that time,

Even with the present technology that could forcibly restore life, it would be impossible to return to his previous state.

However,

Faced with his student’s inquiry,

The old man in the white robe turned a deaf ear.

He withdrew his gaze from the screen and looked at the cylindrical container.

The old man’s expression was filled with internal struggle.

He could see Xiang Li’s physical condition without looking at the screen.

The original deep blue liquid had turned red from the blood mixed in.

Xiang Li’s skin began to peel off continuously, exposing the muscles and fascia underneath.

And these body tissues were also slowly shedding, floating in the solution.

The original clear liquid now looked incredibly murky.

Researchers could only operate the instrument continuously and use metallic tentacles to clear away the falling body tissues.

At this moment, Xiang Li’s body, which was once thousands of times harder than steel, seemed shattered.

His body was falling apart.

“Teacher!”

The middle-aged researcher didn’t get a reply from his teacher and anxiously called out again.

At the same time,

He reached out with his hand, ready to press the emergency button on the central instrument.

“No.”

“Don’t act yet.”

It wasn’t until this moment,

That the old man in the white robe stepped forward to stop his student.

He looked at the screen again.

Although the life signs were continuously weakening,

Xiang Li’s brain remained active the whole time.

He hadn’t given up.

Even now, he was still trying to continuously modify his body so that it could accept the nuclear cells injected into him.

“Wait… Wait a little longer.”

He took a step forward.

Standing in front of the deep blue container,

The lean old man appeared minuscule compared to the enormous container.

He slowly reached out his hand, touching at the glass cover of the container.

The old man’s eyes gradually became firmer.

There was still some margin before the situation became irreversible according to the current indicators.

He was very clear,

That if he called a halt to the plan at this time,

Xiang Li would probably begin the process all over again recklessly.

In that case,

The chances of success would only decrease further.

Therefore,

He decided to trust Xiang Li.

He believed that he could break through any difficult and dangerous situation, as he always had.
