I accidentally joined a group of charlatans, so I immediately called the police and handed it over t

"ah--!!!"

Finally, Zhao Tiezhu could no longer suppress his emotions and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The voice was so chilling it sent shivers down one's spine, as if one's soul was being torn apart by an invisible hand.

"Crackling and popping!"

A series of cracking sounds emanated from his body.

It was as if someone was taking a sledgehammer and smashing every bone in his body inch by inch, then piecing them back together.

Chen Xi stood behind the one-way glass, gripping the handrails tightly with both hands, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

It was too tragic.

This isn't treatment, it's torture!

Zhao Tiezhu's body was convulsing violently, the high-strength restraints were snapping and creaking, and the alloy bed frame was trembling.

It looked as if countless tiny mice were scurrying about beneath his skin.

That's muscle fibers breaking, rebuilding, and strengthening.

"Chief! The recipient's vital signs are deteriorating rapidly! We must terminate the operation immediately!"

A medical expert, seeing the blood oxygen saturation level almost zero, shouted in alarm and grabbed the defibrillator.

"Don't move! Nobody is allowed to move!"

Su Qingge shoved the expert away abruptly, her eyes fixed on the X-ray screen, her voice sharp and distorted.

"Look! Look at his spine!"

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

On the screen, one could see Zhao Tiezhu's lumbar vertebrae, which were originally broken, atrophied, and covered with callus.

It was emitting an eerie golden light at that moment.

The severed nerve bundles are like living vines, growing wildly, extending, and searching for each other.

The shattered bone fragments were drawn together by an invisible force, rearranging and recombining to become denser and thicker.

"This is...this is regeneration!"

Su Qingge's breathing was rapid, and her eyes flashed with a fanatical light.

"This isn't destruction, this is evolution! He's reshaping his mortal body!"

A strong, foul stench began to permeate the laboratory.

Black, sticky grime continuously drained from Zhao Tiezhu's pores.

Those were toxins, blood clots, and impurities that had accumulated in his body for many years.

This is the legendary "marrow cleansing and hair removal".

Time passed by, second by second.

Every second was like torture for Zhao Tiezhu.

But he never fainted.

That steely will belonging to the king of soldiers held onto his last shred of clarity, preventing him from falling into the abyss of darkness.

Finally, half an hour later.

The chilling cracking sound of bones gradually subsided.

Zhao Tiezhu stopped convulsing and lay limp on the bed like a lump of mud, panting heavily.

Sweat mixed with black grime pooled beneath him.

The laboratory was deathly silent.

Everyone held their breath, awaiting the final judgment.

"Iron Pillar?"

Li Guobang's voice came through the microphone, trembling slightly.

Zhao Tiezhu slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils, which were originally cloudy and dim, were now as clear as a newborn baby's, yet as deep as if they contained the stars and the sea.

A flash of light appeared and disappeared in an instant.

He moved his fingers.

Then the wrist, and the arm.

Finally, his gaze fell on his legs, which had once been completely numb.

A long-lost, blood-connected tactile sensation clearly traveled back to my brain.

He propped himself up on the edge of the bed and slowly sat up.

The restraints had already snapped during the struggle.

"Click."

He twisted his neck, making a crisp sound.

Then, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, stunned into silence.

Zhao Tiezhu landed on both feet.

He stood up steadily!

That once confined person to a wheelchair for the rest of his life now stands tall between heaven and earth like a majestic iron tower!

"I...I've stood up..."

Zhao Tiezhu looked down at his feet, his voice choked with sobs and trembling with disbelief.

He tentatively took a step forward.

Very stable.

Take another step.

It was so light it felt weightless.

Suddenly, an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy welled up inside me.

Zhao Tiezhu suddenly rushed out!

He ran and jumped around in the cramped laboratory like a cheetah that had just broken free of its cage.

It was so fast that it left only a blur!

"Bang!"

He suddenly stopped in front of a strength test target, without any preparation, and instinctively threw a punch.

A loud bang shook the bulletproof glass.

The numbers on the testing instrument skyrocketed, finally settling on a bright red value: [880KG]!

"Oh my god!"

A clerk dropped his pen to the ground.

"That's twice the human limit, and this was just a casual strike..."

Zhao Tiezhu stared at the number, stunned.

He slowly withdrew his fist, looking at his hands that were once brimming with explosive power.

This is not a recovery.

This is rebirth.

It is an ascension that transcends the limits of mortals!

He turned around abruptly, facing the direction behind the one-way glass.

Although he couldn't see the people inside, he knew that the person who gave him a second life was there, and that his country was there.

Tears streamed down his resolute face, leaving streaks of white.

Zhao Tiezhu suddenly brought his legs together, his heels colliding with each other, making a crisp "smack" sound.

Its spine stands straight, like a spear piercing the sky.

His right hand suddenly rose, drawing a sharp arc that stopped at the tip of his eyebrow.

A standard, perfect military salute!

"Thank you, Commander! Thank you, Country!"

This roar, powerful and resounding, carried the loyalty and passion of a veteran and echoed throughout the underground base.

Behind the glass wall.

Li Guobang's eyes reddened.

He raised his right hand, trembling, and returned a solemn military salute through the glass.

Chen Xi stood aside, watching this scene, feeling as if a fire was burning in his chest.

This is the power of combining technology and mythology.

This is the future he wants to protect.

Li Guobang lowered his hand, turned around, and patted Chen Xi heavily on the shoulder.

That palm strike was incredibly powerful, numbing half of Chen Xi's body, yet it made him feel incredibly secure.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Li Guobang said "good" three times in a row, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Comrade Chen Xi, did you see that?"

"We did more than just cure one soldier."

"We now have the potential to create a super army!"
