I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

After saying that, Bain didn't care whether the fat man had heard him or not, and directly plunged the dagger into his eye from the corner of his eye.

To Bain's surprise, the fat man actually heard him and remained motionless as Bain slowly gouged out his eyes with his dagger.

"What a formidable opponent."

After saying that, Bane used both hands to forcefully plunge the dagger into the fat man's head.

The fat man's empty eyes were filled with regret and resentment.

He regretted provoking Bane, that menacing monster, and was unwilling to accept that he had been killed by a six-year-old child in Penadoro prison.

When the warden arrived with a group of prison guards, Bane was playing with the eyeball he had gouged out of the fat man with his blood-stained hands.

"You actually killed him!" the warden exclaimed in shock.

Bain stared directly at the warden and said, "What? You actually said 'what'?! Isn't it perfectly normal for prisoners to fight and kill each other here?"

Upon hearing this, the warden was speechless for a moment.

However, what shocked him was not simply the prison murders, but the fact that Bane was only six years old.

Six-year-old Bane killed the fat man all by himself, and in such a cruel way.

The warden looked at Bane's sinister and insane face and felt a wave of nausea.

He said, "Quickly! Arrest this kid and execute him tomorrow!"

The warden certainly didn't want such a crazy and uncontrollable guy in his prison.

Not to mention, Bane's father was the Snake King who launched the coup back then.

No one will be held accountable for executing Bane.

To the warden's surprise, Bain showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he shouted, "Warden, guess who I saw while I was unconscious? I saw my mother. She told me that a special furnace has been prepared for you in Hell. If you dare to kill me, be ready to seize your soul and torment it forever."

Bain's words startled and frightened the warden.

Thinking of Bain's mother's face, he suddenly doubted whether what Bain said was entirely true.

After much deliberation, the warden said to the guards around him, "Lock him in the underground water dungeon."

Upon hearing this, several prison guards immediately grabbed Bain's arms and forced him into the underground water cell.

Bain showed not a trace of fear on his face.

Even as Bane walked past the warden, he smiled at him.

In the water dungeon, whenever everyone was asleep, the warden would order the guards to fill the dungeon with water until it was almost overflowing.

Every night, Bain would try to keep himself afloat by pushing his nose above the water to prevent himself from drowning.

Just like this, day after day, year after year.

No matter how the warden tortured Bane, trying to force him to commit suicide, Bane never lost his will to live.

He constantly strived to survive, even paying close attention to the physical training of his body.

Ten years in the underground water dungeon did not destroy Bane's will and sanity; on the contrary, it made his mind and body even stronger.

Even so, his only friends were the few black-haired rats that he eventually swallowed and the fish, shrimp, and crabs that were washed in by the water.

Finally, after enduring countless hardships, Bain received the first good news of his life.

He was released from the underground water dungeon, and the warden allowed Bane to be transferred to a regular cell.

Of course, the warden didn't just release Bane back to his cell on a whim.

Years of torment still couldn't get rid of Bane, driving the warden to the brink of madness.

Therefore, he wanted to put Bane back in prison so that those who wanted revenge for the fat man would target and kill Bane.

Upon returning to his ordinary cell, Bain discovered that, far from fading from the prisoners' view over the past decade, he had become a legend among them.

When I returned, I was ready to become a king.

The king of Penadoro prison, the king of the prisoners.

The guy known as the zombie who had been watching over and taking care of Bane had aged considerably over the past ten years, and his orange hair had almost completely fallen out.

Besides the zombies, Bane also gathered two other trusted confidants.

A caveman and a small bird.

Soon, Bane, whose physical body and will had almost reached the pinnacle of humanity, became the true king of this prison.

Countless people have tried to challenge Bane, but without exception, they were all killed by Bane single-handedly.

After that, Bain began to use every means possible to acquire knowledge while in prison.

Soon, in addition to possessing terrifying combat power, Bane also became a learned and resourceful sage.

But one question has been weighing on Bain's mind all along.

That is, every night, a giant bat monster would appear in his dreams.

This monster irritated and drove Bane mad, until he channeled his rage into a bloodlust.

Countless prisoners were killed by Bane, and the inmates of Penadoro Prison lived in constant fear.

Because they didn't know when Bane would go berserk, and they didn't know who would be the unlucky ones to die at his hands when he did.

The warden was happy to see the prisoners killing each other, but Bane's killings soon exceeded the warden's tolerance limit.

Ultimately, he sent Bain the waiver that allowed him to voluntarily participate in the biological experiment.

Chapter 250 Farewell, Cage!

GL8

This was the first time Bain had seen the name of the drug he was injected with.

He was then overwhelmed by the pain caused by the medication and completely lost consciousness.

When Bane woke up, he saw the guys who had injected "Venom" into him sitting not far away, chatting.

Bain immediately closed his eyes, pretending not to be awake, and silently eavesdropped on their conversation.

"I say, those guys who were injected with venom, they all seem to be dead by now."

"That's right, this stuff is too potent; a normal person couldn't withstand it for more than a few minutes."

"But..."

The speaker pointed to Bain lying on the hospital bed and gestured with his chin, saying, "Although this guy's breathing is weak, he's generally stable and will probably wake up soon."

"I hope he can hold on. I have to say, this kid's physique is really abnormal. I remember we gave him three times the dosage, and he's still alive."

"What's the use of holding on? What awaits him is an upgraded version of Venom with a higher concentration and stronger side effects. I don't believe he can survive when GL11 is used."

"Who knows? Anyway, once the experiment is over, I want to leave here as soon as possible. It's been so long since I've slept soundly in my wife's arms and eaten food from my hometown."

"You actually have a wife?!"

"Of course, once this experiment is over, I will quit this job and spend the rest of my life with her in peace."

Bain listened to these guys' words and sneered inwardly.

If I can really hold out until the end, I will definitely not let go of these guys who almost killed me.

Even though... all of this was within my own plan.

After listening for a while, Bain felt that these guys didn't seem to have any useful information to share; it was mostly just gossip and trivial matters.

He gradually lost patience and prepared to remind these guys that he was awake.

Bain opened his eyes and coughed forcefully a few times.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Upon hearing the sound, the researchers immediately stood up and approached Bain with "concern."

"You're finally awake. How are you feeling?"

One of the researchers, notebook in hand, asked, ready to record everything Bain said.

This is rare experimental data!

"How are you feeling?" Bain thought for a moment and said, "I feel great, I even want to have a big meal."

Bain wasn't lying; he genuinely felt great. He was even certain that if he struggled now, the leather straps binding him would snap.

Although he didn't know exactly what they injected him with, Bain was certain that it made him stronger.

Noticing the change in Bain's expression, the researcher quickly helped him unbuckle his belt and reassured him, "Don't worry, we'll take you back to eat your fill right away. However, for the next week, you'll need to come here every day to cooperate with our physical examinations."

For these researchers, Bain is now their cash cow.

If they can figure out how Bain managed to carry the GL8 and report it, then none of them will have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.

Bain struggled to sit up on the edge of the bed and said, "No problem. Is there anything else I need to be careful about?"

The researchers were surprised by Bain's competence and couldn't help but develop a slight liking for this guinea pig.

"You will need to come in about a week to receive the second vaccine."

vaccine?

Bane sneered inwardly. While he was unconscious, you all clearly said it was Venom.

But... never mind.

Bain didn't expose these guys. Regardless of whether they injected him with poison or a miracle drug, he felt great right now.

After leaving the laboratory, Bain was escorted back to his cell by prison guards.

On the way, several prison guards asked in bewilderment, "Bane, your muscles seem to be more defined and muscular. Is that just my imagination?"

Upon hearing this, Bain turned around and grinned, saying, "Maybe, but to be honest, I think I could kill a brown bear with my bare hands right now!"

"You should just stick to being a prisoner killer," the guard chuckled. "After all, brown bears won't come to the prison to mess with you."

Back in his cell, Bain was immediately surrounded by a large group of prisoners.

This group of prisoners consisted of more than 300 people who had signed waivers to participate in the experiments.

But as of now, only Bain has either returned to his cell.
