Chapter 451: Pervitin Unleashed
by xennovelChapter 451: Pervitin (Update 4)
“Why did you watch me? And why bomb the hotel?”
Xiao Yu’s gaze turned ice-cold as he glared at the man on the ground, “Why try to kill me?”
The man looked about twenty-five or twenty-six—nothing out of the ordinary.
Yet the speed he displayed while running was anything but ordinary.
Xiao Yu could clearly see that his endurance far exceeded normal limits.
It was as if he had undergone professional training to hone his physical abilities.
But his body didn’t appear to be that of a trained athlete… very odd!
“Ah…”
The man roared, still attempting to raise his pistol.
Bang… crack!
Before the man could even lift his arm, Xiao Yu’s sweeping kick snapped it.
Amid a cry of agony, the man’s legs kicked off the ground, hurling him over two meters away.
How did he do that… Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.
In an instant, he was before the man who had just gotten to his feet, declaring, ‘427.’
“Die!”
The man swung a punch at Xiao Yu.
Smack.
Xiao Yu caught his punch; surprise briefly flashed across his face.
The force was immense, nearly rivaling that of a professional fighter’s heavy blow.
Crack!
Using Bear Force, Xiao Yu twisted the man’s wrist with one hand.
“Ah!”
A wail of pain and despair burst from the man.
He lifted his leg to kick Xiao Yu.
But Xiao Yu stood firmly in place.
He wanted to gauge—and feel—the full extent of the man’s strength.
Activating Rhino’s Defense… Boom!
The man’s foot collided with Xiao Yu’s abdomen.
Yet Xiao Yu remained unmoved, as steady as a mountain.
It was clear—the man’s strength was off.
Then, with a swift downward punch… Boom!
Xiao Yu’s fist struck the man’s calf.
Crack!
The force shattered the man’s calf.
Bear Force activated.
Xiao Yu’s heavy punch could break more than just a human calf…
It was powerful enough to snap a small tree in half!
“Ah!”
A cry of anguish echoed from the man as he collapsed.
Boom!
Xiao Yu kicked the man’s head like a soccer ball, knocking him unconscious.
Bending down, he hoisted the man up as if he were a small chick, and exited the building…
……
After carrying the man back outside the hotel,
Wang Dong and a team of special forces had already arrived.
Their faces turned puzzled as they took in the captive Xiao Yu had brought.
“While I was asleep, he was watching me from a distance.”
Xiao Yu tossed the unconscious man to the ground and handed a pistol to Wang Dong. “He tried to kill me when I chased him. And his strength—it’s not normal. I’m talking about a normal person, yet his power nearly rivals that of a strength athlete… you understand?”
Do you get it?
The moment Wang Dong’s face went pale, he exclaimed, “Performance Enhancer?!”
Xiao Yu gave a slight nod.
That must be it!
Back then, a researcher named Wei Jie
secretly studied performance-enhancing drug formulas to create super soldiers.
He even succeeded in creating a monster called Lin Fang.
Surely, he must have had the formula with him.
Even though Wei Jie was killed by Lin Fang back then,
is it possible that the formula ended up in Lin Fang’s hands?
Over the span of a decade, Lin Fang had faked his death to escape.
Using that formula, he manufactured creatures akin to himself… monsters?
Like this man before us, whose strength is wildly abnormal?!
……
Two hours later, in a special medical clinic,
an old expert in a white coat was meticulously examining the man shackled to a bed.
While checking him, he muttered, “His body is abnormal. It’s clear he’s ingested some kind of performance-enhancing drug, or something that excessively activates his potential.”
“But the side effects are severe—reminding me of the failed formulas we once developed, even worse than those failures.”
“His endurance is overtaxed, his life force nearly drained, and his cells are severely damaged…”
“Like cancer corroding the body, this drug temporarily grants strength beyond normal limits, but…”
“In three to five years at most, he will die… Wait, I know—it’s the original Pervitin formula!”
At the mention of ‘Pervitin,’ Xiao Yu and the other team leaders’ expressions darkened noticeably.
It had been said before that ‘Pervitin’ was a super soldier formula developed by a certain country during World War II…
In short, Pervitin is nothing but a poison.
It can reinvigorate exhausted soldiers, keeping them in a state of heightened activity.
It boosts strength, fortifies the body, and enhances endurance… but with one terrifying side effect.
It drains human potential and life force.
It’s eerily similar to Du Pen, creating a high dependency.
During World War II, up to ninety thousand soldiers from that country perished because of it…
Fate is indeed fair.
When you gain something, you inevitably lose something.
Pervitin can temporarily grant a man athlete-like endurance and strength.
But it will also take his life.
Isn’t that fair?
“Lin Fang’s men!”
Glaring at the man on the bed, Zhou Lie declared with certainty.
It was obvious… with Pervitin in the picture.
It had to be Lin Fang at work with the formula.
This man, needless to say, was one of Lin Fang’s lackeys.
Just another disposable pawn.
He clearly didn’t care whether the pawn lived or died.
How can you treat your underlings so poorly without them betraying you?
They wouldn’t!
Pervitin creates an extreme dependency.
As addictive as Du Pen!
3.9 – Ordinary people know those involved with Xi Du have no shame.
For the sake of Du Pen, they’d do anything.
Using Du Pen to control people is alarmingly simple.
Xiao Yu deduced that the man was being controlled by Lin Fang,
made to do his bidding!
Got played… Xiao Yu’s expression turned cold and ruthless.
Lin Fang had used a disposable pawn to toy with him.
He could practically predict it.
Just as he pursued the man,
Lin Fang was probably hiding somewhere, watching him.
Maybe in another building?
Meanwhile…
A plain-looking man emerged from the adjacent building where Xiao Yu had captured the man.
He hopped into a taxi and drove off.
The man in the taxi looked utterly shocked, muttering two words under his breath.
“Monster!”
