Agent Zero was a master of marksmanship and a skilled close-quarters fighter, though his abilities paled in comparison to Victor's.
After Victor closed the distance, Agent Zero lasted less than two rounds before his arms and one leg were snapped by the enraged Victor.
The remaining guards attempted to attack, but suddenly felt as if they had lost gravity, floating into the air. A moment later, a powerful suction force slammed them to the ground, leaving them half-dead. This included Stryker, who had been preparing to flee.
In the laboratory, only Victor, Silver Fox Karla, and Wolverine Logan remained unharmed.
"Sister."
Loli Emma emerged from behind Han Shaoqing and embraced Silver Fox Karla.
Han Shaoqing and Red Devil leisurely entered the room. Logan was still lying naked in the pool.
Ignoring everyone else, Han Shaoqing raised his hand. Stryker and Agent Zero flew to his feet.
He stepped on each one in turn, and the Check-in System's notification chimed.
**Ding! The host is currently above Agent Zero's head, meeting the check-in conditions. Would you like to check in?**
"Check in."
Checking in, countdown in 10 seconds: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1. Check-in successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining—John Preston, Priest of the Apocalypse.
**John Preston**: The government's watchdog in the apocalypse, a senior official in the military, and the government's godfather. He possesses superhuman reflexes and excels in swordsmanship, gun combat, and close-quarters fighting. Due to taking neural drugs, his emotions are dulled.
**Claim?**
*Ding! The Host is currently positioned above William Stryker's head, meeting the check-in conditions. Would you like to check in?*
"Check in."
Checking in, countdown in 10 seconds: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1. Check-in successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining—Bulma from the Dragon Ball World.
**Bulma**: The daughter of Dr. Brief, chairman of the Capsule Corporation. A genius and outstanding scientist with an exceptionally high IQ, currently twelve years old.
**Claim?**
Han Shaoqing's heart leaped at the system's notification. John Preston was nothing special—at best, a slightly enhanced version of Agent Zero.
But Bulma was different.
In modern society, what is most valuable? Talent!
Bulma was that kind of top-tier talent, her research abilities on par with Lex Luthor's, and in some ways, even surpassing his.
She could be considered the most brilliant scientist in the Dragon Ball World, having invented numerous black technologies such as the Transformation Watch, which could shrink people, and the Time Machine, capable of arbitrary time travel.
Especially the Time Machine—if it were to appear in the Marvel World, the Time Variance Authority would likely come knocking on her door to have a "chat about life" very quickly.
With many eyes and ears around, Han Shaoqing didn't rush to take the people with him. Instead, he focused on the two figures at his feet.
Agent Zero was now useless. With a stomp, he crushed the agent's skull, splattering blood and brain matter all over Stryker's face.
"N-no, don't kill me! I was doing this for all of humanity..."
Despite his ruthless torment of mutants, Stryker was still terrified of death. Witnessing Agent Zero's gruesome demise right before his eyes, he nearly wet himself.
"Then allow me to thank you on behalf of all humanity."
Han Shaoqing sneered. Activating his Perfected Hands technique, he extracted the information he wanted before crushing Stryker's skull.
He wouldn't be as lenient as Charles. For a menace like Stryker, early elimination was the only sensible course of action.
Though Stryker spoke of noble ideals, his actions were anything but honorable. The Sentinel robots from *X-Men: Days of Future Past* had plunged the Earth into chaos, slaughtering mutants and humans alike or imprisoning them, nearly destroying human civilization.
Stryker was undeniably responsible for all this. Why keep him alive?
After dealing with Stryker, Han Shaoqing turned his attention to Victor, who was pulling someone out of the hot water.
Victor and Logan also met the criteria for a check-in, but Han Shaoqing wasn't in a hurry. He wanted to see if the two brothers could undergo a secondary evolution.
Maximizing his gains was Han Shaoqing's plan.
He had largely left the X-Men mutants untouched, intending to cultivate them. The stronger they became, the greater his rewards would be.
Take Raven, for example. Though they had slept together, which should have qualified for a check-in, Han Shaoqing didn't activate it. He felt Raven still had significant room for growth and saw no need to rush.
That's right, sleeping with a woman could also trigger a check-in. This was a new check-in method Han Shaoqing had unlocked.
However, the Check-in System remained silent during his time with Mera in Atlantis, likely because the rewards didn't meet the check-in criteria.
Otherwise, Han Shaoqing could have created an infinite loop of rewards!
Overall, his trip to Three Mile Island had been incredibly fruitful, far exceeding his expectations.
At that moment, Victor hauled Logan out of the water and grumbled, "Jimmy, you're heavier than before!"
No wonder he was heavier. Logan's bones were now completely coated in Adamantium, doubling his weight. With true steel bones and a pair of razor-sharp Adamantium claws, his combat prowess had surpassed that of his older brother, Victor.
But every gain came with a loss. After transforming into Wolverine, Logan found himself completely countered by Magneto Erik. If he dared to talk back and tell Erik to scram again, he'd likely be in for a brutal beating!
"Ugh~"
Logan, fresh from the water, shook his head, feeling groggy and disoriented.
This was a normal reaction. The liquid Adamantium had permeated his entire skeletal structure, including his skull—a truly brain-melting experience.
It was a miracle that Logan hadn't been turned into an idiot.
"How do you feel?" Han Shaoqing asked, stepping forward and handing Logan a set of his own clothes.
Han Shaoqing held Wolverine Logan in high regard. He was a man who loved and hated fiercely, always charging into battle and bringing up the rear—a trustworthy teammate.
Though impulsive and barbaric at times, these traits couldn't dim the brilliance of Wolverine.
After a moment to collect himself, Logan fully regained his senses and looked at Victor. "I never thought you'd come to save me!"
"Of course. We're brothers, for life. Don't think you can shake me off. No one but me can kill you." Victor grinned, completely relieved to see Logan safe.
Watching this display of "brotherly affection," Han Shaoqing couldn't help but find it somewhat unsettling.
*Maybe this is what they call a love-hate relationship!*
"Logan..." Silver Fox Karla stepped forward, her gaze filled with remorse.
"Don't say anything. I don't blame you."
Logan extended his hand, showing he still trusted his girlfriend.
Don't underestimate this gesture. After all, Silver Fox Karla could completely control anyone she touched.
Who would entrust their fate to another person without absolute trust?
Logan's gesture brought tears to Karla's eyes.
The two held hands, and the rest of them were force-fed a mouthful of dog food!
