Redemption in a war

Chapter 17: Steroids

The leader of the Oppressors and his scientist were currently in the lab of the base, discussing another one of Insanis' projects.

"And this will do what to my soldiers?" Tronix asked sceptically, eyeing a vial on the table infront of him which contained an electric green liquid.

"It will enhance their physical power, making them stronger and faster than ever before!" Insanis explained with an excited tone while grinning like a child.

He really hoped this will impress his leader and perhaps give them the power they need to win the war.

Tronix was about to take the vial and chug the substance down himself when Insanis stopped him, which got him an angry snarl from his leader.

"Buuuut it is not completely finished. I advise you to perhaps let some foot soldiers take it first or something." Insanis informed him.

Tronix should've been disgusted by the idea of using his own soldiers as test subjects. But in reality, he couldn't care less, they needed this power.

"Alright, I'll get you some random people to test it on. Make sure that it's soon finished though." Tronix warned.

"Of course! Of course." Insanis assured, immediately going back to work on the formula.

———————————————

Now there was a row of multiple soldiers standing in his lab, ready to be used for his experiment.

Insanis handed all 10 soldiers a smaller vile of the green liquid before giving any explanation.

"All you have to do is drink it. It should take effect after a few minutes, so once you feel something, please report it to me immediately." Insanis instructed.

"Umm..sir, what is this stuff?" one of them asked carefully.

"Oh, don't worry dear, it's not acid or poison or anything but instead it will make you stronger and faster!" the scientist promised.

At that, the soldiers became eager and all chugged it down, wanting to feel invincible for once.

After a few minutes, some already reported results.

"I feel way more energetic, as if I could run multiple marathons!"
One claimed.

Another lifted two heavy build soldiers with one hand as if they were made out of styrofoam. The ironic thing is, the dude lifting them is build like a twig.

Overall, the feedback of the chemical was positive with no side effects! Good.

This proves that perhaps they could use it in battle already, even if the formula was unfinished.

Thanks for the formula Nexus.

After ushering the enhanced soldiers out of his lab, he went on to make more for all soldiers.

Tronix will be so proud!

"They all seem very..enthusiastic. Are you sure this will work, Insanis?" Tronix asked sceptically once again.

"Oh this will give us the upper hand for sure." Insanis assured with a confident smile.

50 soldiers were currently in the command room, laughing and smiling while literally lifting each other or some heavy equipment and literally throwing it!

Tronix wasn't completely sure if this would work out since he'll definitely have trouble controlling his men in such a state, and in this war, he cannot allow that. But since they were only loosing soldiers, he became desperate and will try anything to win.
