Zhi Nao Ling first answered the questions from the inquirer, then proceeded to explain a series of matters, and followed up with an introduction to several rules of the Black Falcon Legion.

First, after joining the Black Falcon Legion, no one is allowed to leave the legion at will during their service; exceptions can be requested.

Second, no information about the Black Falcon Legion is to be leaked to the outside world. Third, all members of the Black Falcon Legion are tasked with becoming the supreme weapons in the hands of the highest leader.

These three points constitute the rules of the Black Falcon Legion. As for the first and second points, there is nothing particularly special about them, as many organizations and forces have similar rules.

As for the third rule, to put it simply, all members of the Black Falcon Legion are the clandestine armed force under Wu Hao. They must do whatever he commands; otherwise, how could they become weapons!

Of course, Wu Hao’s purpose in establishing the Black Falcon Legion is so that he does not have to handle everything personally. It does not mean that he will turn the Black Falcon Legion into an evil organization that indiscriminately kills the innocent. After all, he has his own principles. Otherwise, he would not have let Zhi Nao carefully select from so many mercenaries around the world, eventually finding only 500 who met the criteria, with only 22 currently willing to join him.

However, although there are only 22 people, it is enough for Wu Hao. As long as he trains these 22 into elite soldiers and equips them with various high-tech gear, this team will definitely become a formidable weapon in his hands.

Time flew by, and a month had passed in the blink of an eye. On the day the 22 people arrived at the base, after a detailed explanation from Zhi Nao, they began a series of training tasks.

Their training tasks for the first week were to familiarize themselves with the various training equipment and instruments at the base, and to get to know each other and coordinate when necessary. During this training period, anyone who did not comply experienced the effects of being paralyzed by electric shocks.

After this period of adjustment and punishment, the 22 people gradually began to integrate, although many still maintained a wary attitude towards each other. Nevertheless, they adhered strictly to coordination when required.

After a month of adaptive training and becoming familiar with various devices and weapons, they now faced the process of modification to become super soldiers.

Although their individual strength was not the strongest in the world, it was not far off. However, this clearly did not meet Wu Hao’s requirements, so enhancing their physical strength, reflexes, speed, and other aspects through modification became key to making them stronger.

In the base’s control room, Wu Hao watched the 22 people about to undergo genetic modification through the screens, and then instructed Zhi Nao, “Ling, start!”

With Wu Hao’s command given, the 22 people lying in special devices were immediately transferred to transparent capsules.

“Start administering the anesthetic.”

“Anesthetic successful! All modification targets are now in deep sleep.”

Soon, with electronic prompts ringing through the laboratory, the 22 individuals, each secured and in deep sleep inside their respective capsules, began the modification process.

First, the 22 transparent capsules were filled with a clear liquid. Then, two different syringes automatically extended from inside the capsules, injecting the liquid into the bodies of these 22 individuals.

One of the liquids was a spiritual essence, and the other was Zhi Nao Ling’s latest gene serum.

This gene serum is a gene evolution liquid that can enhance human strength, speed, and sensitivity. Although using this gene evolution liquid alone would cause certain side effects, Zhi Nao had found a solution through numerous tests and research.

The solution was to inject this basic gene serum together with the spiritual essence. The spiritual essence would repair the side effects, eliminating them.

Additionally, the spiritual essence itself is a type of celestial substance that can slightly enhance biological physical quality and repair all diseases and injuries. The combination of this newly developed basic gene serum with the spiritual essence would compensate for the current shortcomings of the basic gene serum.

For a gene modification drug like this, it is already impressive that Zhi Nao developed it in just a few months. In fact, Zhi Nao managed to successfully develop this gene serum with minimal resources due to prior research on the spiritual essence and subsequent data from Wu Hao’s absorption of black meteors, confirmed to be safe for humans after numerous simulations and trials on primates.

However, without the aid of the spiritual essence, directly injecting this gene serum into the human body, while initially enhancing strength, speed, and sensitivity several times beyond normal, carries a high risk of genetic mutation.

Such genetic mutations could lead to a loss of consciousness and normal thinking or result in monstrous deformities, such as abnormal enlargement of limbs or organs, or the growth of additional limbs or organs. It’s similar to congenital deformities seen in babies, such as conjoined twins or those with multiple heads or limbs.

Such genetic mutations are a side effect of the basic gene serum, and while they might make individuals stronger in terms of strength, speed, and sensitivity, they are undesirable.

The spiritual essence helps eliminate the risk of mutations from the basic gene serum, at least for now. With continued research and progress, solutions to the serum’s imperfections will be found in the future.

While the 22 individuals were undergoing genetic modification, a mechanical arm extended from above the capsule. After reaching the back of the subjects’ heads, the arm’s needle pierced into their heads.

A nanomachine, invisible to the human eye, was implanted into the brains of the modified individuals. This nanomachine was Wu Hao’s ultimate tool for controlling these members.

Wu Hao did not plan to inform the modified individuals about this nanomachine, because as long as they did not betray him throughout their lives, the nanomachine would have no effect on them.
