Chapter 688 U: Infinite Events (VII)

"Da, da, da..."

The heels of leather shoes stepped on the cold ground, making a crisp sound. With a "creak", the iron door was opened and the man in a suit walked out of the door.

He walked forward and shook hands with the figure in a white coat, and then walked into the room with the doctor in a white coat.

As the lights gradually lit up, what appeared in the room was not a warm ward and treatment equipment, but an iron railing like an interrogation room.

There was a bed inside the railing, and the person in the hospital gown was lying on the bed, with his hands and feet fixed on the railing. Seeing this scene, the figure in the suit turned his head away, with the corners of his mouth drooping, as if he couldn't bear to see this scene.

The sound of high heels stepping on the ground rang out one after another, accompanied by the clear sound of key chains colliding. Natasha walked into the room, glanced at the two and said, "What are you talking about?"

After that, she walked forward, took off the key chain hanging on her waist, and then opened the door on the iron railing. The three of them walked in and came to the bedside.

At the head of the bed, there was a slightly strange instrument with a series of complex readings on it. The doctor in a white coat took out the medical record book and recorded the data on the instrument, while the figure in a suit covered his face and said, "... Is it really right for us to do this? He looks very painful..."

Hearing this, Natasha, who was tidying up the curtains, turned around and looked at the patient on the bed.

The patient looked very strange. He had no hair, his eyes were deeply sunken in his eye sockets, and his skin was pale and cold. At this time, his mouth was half open, his eyes were closed, and his whole body was trembling. His fingers drew circles on the bed sheet, as if writing some symbols.

"Schiller... We will go to hell..." Coulson, who was wearing a suit, took a deep breath and said, "This is too inhumane, we really shouldn't..."

Schiller, who was concentrating on writing medical records, paused for a moment. He turned his head to look at Coulson, but did not explain. Soon, the communicator on Coulson's waist rang, and Nick Fury called him away.

After he left, Natasha walked to the other side of the bed, stared at the patient and said, "I really don't know why Nick kept it a secret from him. He will feel very guilty about it."

"Don't you think it's difficult to explain to someone like Coulson that all SHIELD agents are now Hydra and all Hydras have become SHIELD agents?"

Natasha sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't know how you did it. Poor Coulson, he still thinks that we are using injured and dying SHIELD agents for human experiments."

"In a sense, he is right." Schiller leaned over and gently tidied the sheets for the patient lying on the bed, but when he approached, the patient kept shaking, his upper and lower teeth collided with each other, making a clear clattering sound. He tried desperately to hide to the side, but his fixed hands and feet made it impossible for him to dodge.

Schiller stood up again and said, "He is Hydra, but he has also made great contributions to SHIELD. Without them, Nick couldn't even find ten capable agents."

"So, I tried very hard to treat him. If the experiment can succeed on him, many Hydras disguised as SHIELD will be saved because of him. This sacrifice is worth it."

Natasha lowered her eyes and followed Schiller out of the ward. When she entered the second ward, Schiller recorded the numbers on the machine as usual, tidied up the messy hem of the bed sheet, chatted with the air, asked the patient how he felt, and then ignored the patient's frightened eyes, and then turned around and left for the next ward.

There are about twelve wards here, and there is a patient in each ward, and their conditions are very similar. There is no hair on the body, the skin is pale blue, and even the expressions are exactly the same. When she saw Schiller again, it was like seeing a ghost.

After visiting all the wards, Schiller returned to his office at the SHIELD base. At this time, there were a lot of information piled on his desk, most of which were related to the experiment currently underway.

Natasha stood across from his desk and asked, "How is it? Is there any progress?"

"I don't understand the part about the drug experiment, but there are still big questions about the patient's mental state."

"These patients who were resurrected with drugs have different degrees of mental disorder. GH209 drug, the patient's nervous system is normal, but there will be very serious hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. GH211 drug, there are very serious symptoms of persecution delusion, GH215 drug, non-linear memory disorder, GH221 drug, stress-type aphasia..."

"In addition, they all have symptoms of aphasia, and some will draw a lot of meaningless symbols..."

Schiller put down the information in his hand, sighed and said, "Instead of staring at the progress of my work here, it is better to urge Nick to find a more reliable chemist. There has been no progress in more than 200 experiments. Can't you find the reason from someone other than me?"

"This experiment is not easy to make public." Natasha shook her head gently and said, "Don't forget, except for us, no one knows that most of the agents in SHIELD are actually Hydra."

"If the news of us using SHIELD agents for experiments spreads, Nick's position as director will be lost. Therefore, the confidentiality level of this plan is level 10. Only Nick's confidants in the entire SHIELD can know a little information."

Schiller tapped the table lightly with the pen in his hand and said: "In more than 200 experiments, the recipients inevitably suffered huge mental trauma and showed various symptoms of mental disorder afterwards."

"How likely is it that it is related to the raw materials of the medicine?" Natasha asked.

"It's hard to say. There must be a relationship, but how big the relationship is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to test it out even if there are another 200 experiments."

Schiller stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window and said: "The Kree, as the raw materials of the medicine, are completely different from our life form. Using their bodies to make medicine and injecting it into the human body will inevitably cause various problems."

"Before this experiment started, I told you that this may cause irreversible damage to people's spirit and psychology." Schiller shook his head and said.

"But SHIELD needs this technology, especially Nick." Natasha stood there, tapped her toes on the ground, and said, "If the agent can be resurrected, he doesn't need to look for consumables all over the world."

"Doctor, I know this is indeed inhumane, but after all, these are Hydra. Thinking about their past evil deeds, it's not so unacceptable, right?" Natasha leaned against the wall, and her body tilted sideways, showing her graceful curves, but Schiller kept staring at the information in his hand, frowning deeply.

"You should say this to Coulson."

Natasha sighed, turned and left, and soon, she knocked on the door of the director of SHIELD's office and walked in.

Nick also looked up from a pile of documents and looked at him. Natasha shook her head and said, "Still no progress."

Nick sighed and said, "Schiller is not a quack. If he can't do anything, it seems that there will be no progress in the short term."

"Resurrection is not that simple. If it succeeds so easily, I would think it might be a trap set by the Kree." Nick put down the pen in his hand, then stood up, walked to Natasha, leaned on the table and said:

"Unfortunately, when we were in the Andromeda Galaxy before, the mutants only captured one Kree Speaker, and he was not pure blood. If we could get a few more, we would have more raw materials for the experiment."

"I've always wanted to ask, which genius scientist came up with the idea of ​​using the Kree to make a resurrection potion? There is no logic at all." Natasha asked with some confusion.

"Do you remember when we did a physical examination for the Kree Speaker? Because we didn't know the physiological structure of this alien, we invited several very famous biologists to do a consultation, including Dr. Connors who invented the lizard potion."

"This doctor has unique experience in extracting genes from other organisms, absorbing their advantages and acting on the human body. He found that a certain gene in the Kree people gave them super-fast self-healing and transformation abilities. In other words, just like lizards, the Kree can also be used as the raw material for serum."

"How was the resurrection function discovered?" Natasha asked.

"If this series of medicines can only provide humans with self-healing abilities, then what is the difference between them and lizard serum? The research progress of lizard serum is much faster, and the raw materials are available everywhere."

"If Dr. Connors hadn't discovered that the concentrated Kree medicine can greatly improve human vital signs and even revive humans who have just died, I wouldn't have formulated the Tahiti Plan."

Nick widened his eyes slightly, made a yearning expression, and then said: "If I can revive infinitely, then I have infinite employees, and I won't be afraid that they will be exhausted to death..."

Natasha glanced at him, rolled her eyes, and left without saying anything.

At the same time, outside the laboratory of Stark Tower, Connors took a document from Schiller, flipped through it, and said, "Is there still no progress in this regard? If the sequelae are too serious, it will limit the scope of use of this drug."

Connors closed the document and said to Schiller, "I repeat, I personally do not support any form of resurrection. If you hadn't asked me to use the success of the lizard serum to inspire Nick, I would not participate in this experiment."

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time..."

Connors turned his head to the side, sighed, and said to Schiller : "I really don't know what you are going to do. You hurriedly asked me to point out the fact that Kree could be used as experimental material when I examined him, but when the experiment reached a deadlock, you were no longer in a hurry..."

"Schiller, I must remind you that resurrection is a taboo for humans. You don't really want to resurrect anyone, do you?"

Schiller walked forward, smiled and patted Connors on the shoulder and said, "Of course not, it's just that one of my clients is too difficult to deal with. I have to take some means other than deception. Under the principle of absolute voluntariness, we can conduct a more in-depth exchange of interests in a friendly and cordial manner..."

"Are there any other difficult clients for you?" Connors leaned back a little, looked Schiller up and down, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Death."
