After firming that bullets posed no threat to him, Russell flexed his hands and then, trolling his strength, charged toward the Hydra soldiers.
Having experienced being stu the ceiling earlier, Russell now had a rough uanding of his current strength. As a result, he did not dare to use his full power iively small operating room.
Although Russell wasn't going all out, his speed far exceeded the expectations of the Hydra soldiers.
The Hydra soldiers, who had just reloaded their ons, could not even see Russell's movements clearly. To them, Russell seemed to telepht in front of them, followed by a lightning-fast punch.
These Hydra soldiers were well-traies, but in front of Russell, they were little more than motionless puppets.
One punch, one soldier down. This feeling was absolutely exhirating!
Against absolute strength and speed, the Hydra soldiers had no ce to resist. In their panic, they even shot and injured several of their own rades.
From the moment Russell unched his attack, to the moment all the soldiers were lying on the ground, less thay seds had passed.
In the observation room nearby, Jack, a man dressed in Hydra bat gear, and the anding officer of the Hydra soldiers in this facility, looked furious.
Beside him, the researchers in white b coats were all visibly excited.
Two squads, a total of twelve well-trained soldiers, had not evewenty seds.
For Jack who was responsible for overseeing the security of the entire base, this in the face, a hard o that.
"Switor-pierg rounds! Get the high-caliber sniper rifles! I want that monster dead in the operating room!"
At Jack's and, the soldiers who were rushing to provide backup turned around and headed to the armory to ge their ons...
Upon hearing Jack's order, the bald doctor who had administered the Abomination Serum earlier rushed over, tearing off his mask and shouting at Ja a near-roar, "ander Jack, you 't do this! This is our only survivi subject! We need critical experimental data from him. He absolutely ot die!"
"I don't give a damn if he's the only survivi subject! Look at the soldiers lying in there!" Jack roared back as he poi the operating room...
With that, the already furious Jack grabbed the bald doctor's head and pressed his face against the one-way gss, speaking word by word, "If we don't kill him, everyone in this base will die!"
Only then did the bald doctor snap out of his excitement and break free from Jack's grip, "Then don't kill him! Use the electroshock ons. As long as he is a biological form, he 't resist electric shocks!"
"If the higher-ups find out you killed the only survivi subject, you know the sequences!" Once he regained his posure, the bald doctor's intelligeuro the forefront, and he looked fident.
Though relut, Jack had to abandon his initial pn to kill Russell on the spot, and issued a new order, "Prepare the electroshock ons and the electroshock explosive colrs. Execute the electroshock capture pn!"
While the Hydra soldiers were no match for Russell, their efficy was still worthy of elite soldiers.
Before long, the soldiers, now armed with neons, had pletely surrouhe corridor outside the operating room.
As soon as Russell stepped out of the operating room, before he could eve his bearings, a fist-sized pale blue 'energy' orb came flying toward him at lightning speed.
Russell didn't know what this energy orb was, but he still dodged it with utmost seriousness.
Although Russell wasn't afraid of ordinary bullets now, this was a Hydra secret base. Who knew what kind of high-damage mysterious ons they might have developed here?
With his superhuman strength and speed, he easily dodged the first energy orb.
But what he did not expect was that Hydra's attack wasn't limited to just one.
To be safe, the soldiers had brought out all the electroshock ons from the armory. So, what Russell now faced wasn't just one energy orb, but ten.
The corridor outside the operating room wasn't particurly rge, and teroshock ons could easily achieve saturation ce.
Although Russell dodged the first few energy orbs, the remaining seven hit him with pinpoint accuracy.
The moment the first energy orb struck him, Russell knew he was in trouble.
An interic current instantly coursed through his entire body, slowing him down and sending unbearable pain surging through him.
As the energy orbs struck him oer another, Russell lost the strength to stand by the time the fifth o him.
The st two energy orbs knocked him out pletely.
In the hazy moments before losing sciousness, Russell vaguely saw a soldier holding a colr-like device rushing toward him and fastening it around his neck.
...
When Russell woke up again, he was no longer in the operating room. Instead, he found himself in ay room with only a metal mannequin standing in the ter.
As Russell regained sciousness, ander Jack's voice echoed through the room via a loudspeaker.
"9527, this is your new bat designation!"
"On your neck is our test iion: the Electroshock Explosive Colr. If you don't want your head blown to pieces, I suggest you don't try to remove it!"
"Now, let me demonstrate the power of this colr..."
The metal mannequin in front of Russell also wore aroshock Explosive Colr. At Jack's and, the colr's blue indicatht turned red, and a visible surge of electricity coursed through the mannequin's body...
When the electric shoded, the colr's red indicatht began fshing rapidly, emitting a series of sharp, pierg sounds.
A few seds ter, the seemingly small colr unleashed an astonishing explosion.
*BOOM*
The shockwaves from the massive explosio Russell flying, smming him hard against the room's wall.
Only then did Russell realize that the walls of this room were also made entirely of some sort of metal.
As the smoke from the explosion cleared, the metal mannequin was pletely unreizable. What had once been a life-sized metal figure was now reduced to fist-sized fragments.
Russell casually picked up one of the fragments, testing the hardness of the metal.
After tossing the slightly deformed metal fragment aside, Russell silently cursed himself.
'Sh*t, I was too careless!'
