The presence of the Electroshock Explosive Colr eliminated any possibility of Russell tinuing to resist Hydra.

  If the metal mannequin could be blown to pieces, then killing Russell, who was essentially still human, wouldn't be a problem either.

  Of course, Russell could still try to resist forcefully and pce his hopes on the 'Dionesium Factor' within him...

  "Starting tomorrow, specialized researchers will examine your physical data. At the same time, you will undergo a series of training sessions."

  "Don't do anything stupid, and doertain any unnecessary thoughts!"

  "Obey orders, and you will survive!"

  Jack's voice echoed through the loudspeaker once more.

  Russell didn't respond to Jack. At the moment, he was debating whether to take a reckless risk to remove the colr around his neck.

  After careful sideration, Russell ultimately decided against it.

  Although the 'Dionesium Factor' had incredible regeive abilities, no one knew if the version granted by the system was the same as the one in the ics. Moreover, Russell had no iion of risking his life to find out... Not yet at least...

  While he had lost his freedom, his current situation was undoubtedly much better than the moment he had first crossed over.

  He had temporarily escaped the fate of being a b rat, and now possessed the Abomination Strength and the 'Dionesium Factiving him some ability to protect himself.

  As the only survivi subject of the Abomination Project, Russell was not too worried about his immediate future.

  Moreover, from Jack's earlier words, he had gleaned a clear piece of information: Hydra had no immediate pns to dissect him.

  "I'll take it oep at a time. As long as I'm alive, there will be opportunities eventually..."

  Having e to this realization, Russell y down on the floor, closed his eyes to rest, and began to slowly get used to his enhanced body.

  After an unknown amount of time, the hidden door in the wall slowly opened, and two Hydra soldiers entered, carrying food and clothing.

  The two soldiers g Russell lying on the floor, silently pced the food and clothes on the ground, and thehe room.

  Only after they had left did Russell get up and approach the food and clothing.

  He removed the tattered surgical gown he was wearing and picked up the Hydra uniform from the floor, quickly putting it on.

  Although the room had no windows and no visible surveilnce equipment, Russell was certain that his every move was being closely monitored.

  However, Russell wasn't in the mood to worry about that right now. His full attention was on the food in front of him.

  The so-called food before him was somewhat ued.

  It wasn't the colorful, fragrant, and fvorful ese cuisine he was used to, nor was it Ameri fast food like burgers, hot dogs, or fries. Instead, it was a series of colorful nutrient pastes...

  "They're really treating me like a b rat..."

  When you're under someone else's roof, you have to lower your head.

  Although the nutrient pastes didn't look appetizing, their taste was somewhat acceptable, with a texture simir to ice cream.

  For the rest of the day, no one disturbed Russell.

  Early the m, the hidden door ial wall opened once again.

  Uhe escort of a fully armed Hydra squad, Russell was taken to a brand-new boratory.

  The person in charge was still the bald doctor from the previous day.

  The only difference was that the bald doctor wasn't wearing a mask this time, allowing Russell to clearly see his face.

  The bald doctor appeared to be in his early fifties. His ck of hair gave him an oddly youthful appearance.

  The doctor introduced himself, "My name is Wilson. I'm your... attending physi."

  Russell ignored Wilson and y down on the operating table, calmly saying, "Let's begin."

  Since he had no pns to resist for now, he might as well cooperate fully.

  Over the few hours, Wilson ducted a prehensive examination of Russell, rec all of his physical data.

  Although Russell cooperated fully, Wilson entered a minor issue when attempting to draw blood for testing.

  After being enhanced by the Abomination Serum, Russell's skin had bee incredibly tough.

  Ordinary assault rifle bullets couldn't pee his ski alohe thin needles used for blood draws.

  After trying numerous methods, Wilson finally resorted to ser cutting to obtain a blood sample from Russell.

  By the time Wilson pleted the series of examinations, three to four hours had passed.

  After leaving Wilson's boratory and ing a few nutrient pastes to replenish his energy, Russell was taken to a training ground the size of a football field.

  The training ground was filled with various firearms and ons.

  It also included main battle tanks, Bck Hawk helicopters, and other driving traptions.

  "Although you survived the experiment, you're at best a semi-finished product. What we truly want is an invincible super soldier!"

  Russell was greeted by Jack, the base's security overseer.

  Upon hearing the void firming that the middle-aged soldier before him was indeed Jack, Russell felt the urge to punch him.

  However, the colr around his neck ultimately kept him in check.

  On the s o Jack, footage of the Abomination and Hulk's battle in New York ying.

  "If you were the real Abomination, you wouldn't need any training. Your existence alone would make you the ultimate on. But you're not. You're just a semi-finished product, a worthless failure!

  So over the month, I'm going to turn you, this half-baked failure, into a real soldier!"

  Jack roared at Russell with aremely hostile tone, but Russell paid it no mind.

  If a dog needlessly barks at you, there's o bark back. You just o kill the dog... eventually.

  In Russell's mind, Jack was a mad dog, ohat he would eventually kill.

  Despite Jack's harsh attitude, his training program was undeniably professional.

  Shooting, bat, assassination, stealth, driving, multiple nguages, and even a series of hag tutorials.

  From these training subjects, Russell could roughly guess Jack's iions and uand what Hydra wanted from him.

  Hydra wanted a giant warrior like Abomination or Hulk, not a reinforced human like Russell who couldn't transform...

  Therefore, in Hydra's evaluation, Russell was just a failed semi-finished product.

  But to avoid wasting resources, Hydra decided to train him into a super soldier, one like the Winter Soldier...
