Finished with the suit, I picked up Roshtain's body again, slung it on my shoulder, and headed for one of the prisoner cells.
The base wasn't completely full yet, there were a lot of empty rooms, but I had already organized the storage and garage. I don't know why I need a garage, but I did it just in case. The elevator was a bit tricky, since it's an underground base, but it seemed to work well. Next was a room with a few beds just in case, and a training area. I finally had a place where I could test my abilities, which was nice. Of course, I didn't forget about the sewers and stuff, so I spent a lot of money. The way the workers worked here was a different story, they had to work in total secrecy. It got to the point where I had to cover their eyes and do a few more procedures. They know what they were doing, but I don't know where. It was pointless to kill them, even though Hartley had suggested it. But I decided against it, they don't know much, and if they talk, they'll regret it. The first thing we looked at was their professional skills. Each of them was specially selected, and all of them have a lot of weaknesses that can be used in case of something. But I don't think it will come to that, they got a good fee, so they won't talk too much.
After going through a few rooms that were still unoccupied, I leaned my hand against the screen and the cell door opened. Putting the meta-man's body on the bed, I attached the IV, brought the medication, and checked his condition. We'd have to run more tests, and then we could decide what to do with him.
The equipment was good, so the tests were ready in about an hour. As I thought, his body contained much more radiation than a normal person. A mere mortal would have died a horrible death. But Roshtayn looked quite normal. Moreover, it seemed that wasn't enough for him, a second test showed that the radiation content in his blood had increased slightly. He was unknowingly absorbing it from the environment, which was unpleasant. His DNA, like the other metas had been altered. He was using the radiation to become stronger, but that was already clear. What was important to know now was something else...
Taking a syringe with a new experimental drug RV-87, I injected it into Roshtayn's bloodstream. It was a new drug, and it was supposed to remove excess radiation from the human body. I don't know if it existed in my past world, but it doesn't matter, I hope it works. I need to minimize the radiation in his body.
I put on a special suit and closed the camera, it looked like I should move him to the lab and do everything there. I put on a special suit and closed the camera, it looked like I should have moved him to the lab and done everything there. Oh, well...
After three hours it was finally over, I quickly got rid of the radiation waste, which was very problematic. I'm not an easy person to deal with, but I didn't want to be exposed to radiation. The sensors showed that the place was terribly phoned, but I had a few remedies for that.
I finally brought him to one of the laboratories and analyzed him again. The result was positive; the radiation in his blood was barely above the normal human level. His health was quite normal, and if I tried hard enough, I could even bring him back to consciousness, which I did.
«What the-- What the... where am I? - when the drug took effect, Stein stood up and looked around in surprise. I listened to his pulse, it was normal. Then I quickly went over and checked the state of his pupils. There was nothing wrong there either, a very normal person.
He finally saw my face and growled:
«You! Bastard, what have you put on me?! - I had to cover his body with a special material because it was terribly radioactive, and I couldn't get rid of the body of course, I still needed him.
I ignored his question and asked myself:
«How are you feeling?
«How do I feel?! You bitch, I'm gonna get you... - Jumping up from the couch, the Destroyer lunged at me. I calmly dodged his fist as well as the next. A good way to test his condition... The strength was pretty good, blocking a couple of his punches, I nodded:
«Well, that's a decent result for a human. - I kept dodging and blocking, and he had enough for ten minutes of uninterrupted throws at me. I kept dodging and blocking to shorten the duration of our "fight" and occasionally hit his lungs, I didn't want to drag it out.
Barely on his feet, Crusher asked:
«Ha...ha... Bastard, what do you want?
I grinned:
«Your power, of course, now that I'm fully confident of getting it. Radiation strengthens you, but you are quietly able to live without it, which means.... - I instantly moved behind the guy's back and hit him: "Now I'm ready.
*♪ Bang ♪
When he fell to the floor with a clatter, I picked him up again and carried him to the couch. The most important thing to do now was to collect the marrow and take it in. It had been a long time since I had done that....
This guy's power suited me, radiation though was very important, but I could live without it. It was completely different from my ability, without life energy I was not alive. It was enough for me that with his power I would gain complete immunity to radiation. The power and protection were nice bonuses.
Hands still remembering what to do, I grabbed a couple syringes and quickly harvested all of Roshtayn's marrow. It only took about five minutes, so there was still plenty of time to spare. This meta-human was quite resilient and not even dead, although his condition was deplorable, he was wriggling even unconscious. It was clear he was in pain, so I quickly snapped his neck. There was a lot of liquid as usual, but I wasn't nervous anymore, I exhaled and started to drink....
«Haa... That's it... - After emptying the vessel completely and breathing out a sigh of relief, I went to the place I had prepared beforehand. I climbed into the cold bathtub, made myself comfortable and waited. It took about a minute and then it all started... Wild pain spread all over my body, my eyes began to burn, this time it was much more painful than in the past.... Shit...!
«Ghaaaa! - I clenched my teeth with all my might and continued to endure. The clenching of my jaws even made me bleed. The pain in my bones was terrible and the blood was scalding. I could hear my own heartbeat, which was gradually slowing down, echoing in my head more and more.
After about five minutes of pain, I passed out.....
