698 Human Body Modification Program

An excited smile appeared on the old chief’s face.

“Alright,” he said firmly. “I’ll select the elite warriors in the army immediately. We’ll explore this unknown territory together.”

The sense of responsibility and discipline that soldier had made Wu Mo look forward to this transformation even more.

In his opinion, they could prevent potential chaos and also open up new possibilities in war by giving the soldiers this power.

Not long after, ten determined and ambitious warriors walked into the research institute.

Their chests rose and fell with their breathing, and their faces were filled with nervous anticipation.

Wu Mo and his team walked in and carefully studied each soldier.

He then handed them a card and asked them to fill in their preferred superpower.

Wu Mo believed that this was the best time to reveal the special ability that was compatible with their souls.

To some extent, everyone’s intuition was a reflection of their soul and cell memories.

Each person would be inclined to a certain superpower, which might become an accelerator during surgery.

It made everything go smoother.

Therefore, the ten warriors wrote down the abilities they yearned for.

Fire and Ice, Lightning Control, Water Element Manipulation, Material Disintegration, and other special powers stood out on the card.

Finally, it was time for their transformation.

This was not an ordinary experiment but a major surgery that would decide one’s fate.

The bio-modification capsules would silently enter their bodies.

Then, it would fuse perfectly with them within twenty-four hours.

This time would differentiate the humans and the Dark Starlings. It would also be a guarantee to prevent future accidents.

“Mr. Wu, who should we start with?” Xu Wanqing asked nervously.

Wu Mo looked at the ten soldiers and finally pointed at one of them. After that, he led him into the mysterious laboratory.

The agonizing wait began, and time seemed to freeze.

Half an hour later, the soldier was left in the ward for observation. The door to the operating theater slowly opened.

Wu Mo worked tirelessly for ten hours and finally completed the transformation for each volunteer.

He was sweating profusely when he walked out. He left Xu Wanqing and the others to handle everything else while he returned to the base to rest.

“Mr. Wu, the observation period for the first soldier has passed. Should we check his results?”

A phone call from Xu Wanqing interrupted Wu Mo’s thoughts.

After he woke up, Wu Mo headed to the Institute of Special Biology in high spirits.

There, he witnessed an ecstatic warrior!

The warrior lit a pile of waste paper playfully, and the flames that erupted from his fingertips fell on a pool of water.

The flames and water collided before they disappeared.

“Hahaha! I can control flames!” the warrior screamed in excitement.

His eyes were filled with the joy of a dream come true.

Wu Mo revealed a satisfied smile.

He looked at the other warriors one by one.

He realized that they had basically fulfilled their wishes.

The new abilities in their bodies proved that this was no longer a fantasy.

“Very good. Everything is as expected. There are no side effects. However, we should make the surgery process more streamlined so that the modification can be truly popularized among the entire population.”

Wu Mo thought about his future.

When the transformation of these ten warriors was made public, the world seemed to boil.

The upper echelons of the Planetary Alliance were currently having a headache over the matter of Dark Star.

However, they suddenly heard such shocking news.

Everyone was stunned on the spot. They were so shocked that they could not speak.

“Unbelievable! Is this true? Has everyone gained superpowers?!”

The head of a foreign country looked at the news report on the screen in shock, as if he could not believe his eyes.

The human body was just a mortal’s shell. How could it dance with wind, fire, thunder, and lightning? This seemed to be far beyond the boundaries of science.

“Hah! Wu Mo was indeed strong, but did he really think that we were fools to fool everyone with such an excuse?”

A person in charge of a large country criticized angrily, as if he felt that human intelligence had been insulted.

However, China’s response was even more direct and firm. “Superpowers do exist. If you don’t believe us, we’re willing to show it to the public.”

A bet was thus made. The loser would give up their base on Fortune, and the winner would get China’s dome.

“Mr. Wu,” someone said worriedly, “the dome is so important. How can it be offset by a small base?”

Wu Mo’s smile revealed his confidence. “It doesn’t matter even if I bet my life because we will definitely win.”

The eyes of the world were focused on this gamble of the century, and the global media reported on it.

In the center of the stage, ten warriors lined up in a row under the watchful eyes of everyone. It was as if legends were about to be unveiled.

“Haha, look! Their lies will eventually be exposed!”

A group of heads of state sneered as they watched the live broadcast.

Wu Mo’s voice came through the walkie-talkie. “The first participant, you may start displaying your abilities. The rest of you, follow suit!”

“Understood, Mr. Wu!” the warriors answered.

The first warrior walked up, took a deep breath, and slowly pressed his palm on a piece of newspaper.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three seconds later, the newspaper started to burn. The flames were raging and magnificent.

The whole world was stunned, and disbelief, as well as shock, were revealed on everyone’s faces.

“Impossible! How could the flames from his hands be so huge?”

Before everyone could collect themselves, the second warrior walked forward to showcase his ability.

His superpower was Wind Blade.

He raised his palm and swung it forward. With a low roar, the wooden plank five meters away was cut in half.

“This… What kind of power is this? The void and biting cold air are under his control!”

The audience was completely blown away by the scene before them.

The third warrior walked up to the stage and gently covered a bucket of cold water with his palm.

In the blink of an eye, the bucket of water turned into a bucket of frozen ice.

The audience felt a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts as if they had been summoned into a fantasy world.

The national leaders who were watching went pale, and their lips trembled as if they wanted to say something.

However, words could not express the shock they were experiencing.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh warriors displayed their abilities too.

Every display made people’s hearts beat faster, and every ability showed the infinite possibilities of the future.

The atmosphere at the press conference was chilling.

All the reporters forgot about interviewing and filming. Everyone’s hearts were tightly locked on the stage.

“May I ask Mr. Wu… Is it possible for ordinary people like us to have such abilities?” A reporter finally mustered up his courage and asked with a trembling voice.

Wu Mo’s expression was solemn, and his eyes shone with assurance. He slowly said, “Everyone can become an extraordinary version of themselves. In the future, you and I will be able to control our own superpowers.”

The entire world fell into silence before they went into an uproar.

The national leaders who had participated in the bet looked solemn.

At this moment, they understood that this was not a gamble, but the prelude to a golden age.

China had already won the gamble.
