About this major flaw in the regenerative serum, Dr. Connors did not report it to the relevant departments of the Osborn Group.
Because he was aware that the Osborn Group had invested a substantial amount of capital and other support into this project.
If he informed those investors at this crucial moment that the serum still had issues and needed more time and continued investment.
He believed his lab would lose all financial support the next day, and he himself would be kicked out of the well-equipped lab provided by Osborn Group.
In order to fulfill his dream and achieve his ambitions, Dr. Connors ultimately decided to conceal this discovery and secretly intensify his research efforts, hoping to resolve the issue before arousing suspicion.
However, things don't always go as planned, and many problems aren't solvable no matter how hard you try.
After conducting more in-depth research, Dr. Connors discovered that the gene sequences responsible for aggressive behavior and the dominant regenerative mechanism in lizards were the same.
In other words, according to the research framework he had initially formulated, the regenerative serum inspired by the tail-regrowth ability of lizards could not work at all.
To achieve the effect of limb regeneration, one would have to endure the side effects of drastic personality changes. The research project that consumed a significant amount of resources had now reached a dead end.
Dr. Connors, who arrived at this conclusion, was utterly devastated. He found it hard to believe that he had invested so much energy and time into a research project driven by a lifelong pursuit, only to realize that it was a laughable fantasy from the very beginning.
The strongest hope he had always held onto had now transformed into the darkest despair.
Driven by shattered beliefs and willpower, even knowing about the significant flaw in the regenerative serum, Dr. Connors injected the serum into his own body as an experiment.
This was the last glimmer of hope he could embrace. He fantasized that the serum's effects on humans might differ from those on mice, and that humans with intense emotions and higher intelligence might withstand the side effects of the lizard genes.
But perhaps "maybe" was just that – a maybe. Scientific research must adhere to strict requirements and standards; there is no room for luck or chance. The attempt Dr. Connors made with a sense of luck ultimately brought him a painful lesson.
Because the effects of the lizard genes in the regenerative serum on humans were even stronger than Dr. Connors had originally anticipated.
When the serum began to take effect, and Dr. Connors saw his lost right arm regrowing after many years, the excitement and jubilation made him feel that this was the reward for his relentless efforts over the years, granted by the goddess of luck.
However, when the arm had fully regrown, and he noticed the emergence of fine green scales on his new arm and even on his skin, Dr. Connors finally understood in his moment of collapse that this was nothing but the mockery of the goddess of fate.
After being completely covered with scales resembling those of a lizard all over his body, the side effects brought about by the regenerative serum were far from over.
Dr. Connors could clearly feel that a warm current was constantly gathering at the location of his tailbone behind him, and as this sensation grew stronger, he eventually grew a thick and powerful lizard tail from behind him!
Feeling the changes in his appearance, and seeing the reflection in the glass of the laboratory, Dr. Connors could clearly see his terrifying new appearance.
But miraculously, as time passed, Dr. Connors gradually lost any feelings of fear and panic in his heart. They were replaced with excitement over the explosive power and agility that now surged within him.
His temperament began to turn as ruthless and brutal as a cold-blooded creature, and he found himself drawn to hiding in the cold and damp darkness.
Experiencing the burst of strength within his body, Curt Connors, now transformed into the Lizard, could no longer contain his bloodthirsty desires.
He turned and charged towards the laboratory door, which was constructed from special steel and boasted the highest security technology from the Osborn Group. In front of the Lizard, this door was as flimsy as paper and was pierced through directly.
When such a monstrous creature covered in scales and with a horrifying appearance appeared in the Osborn Group building, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the people inside.
As the brains of these people began to react, the attention gradually escalated into chaos.
Because a male researcher who was closest to the Lizard had already been impaled by his tail.
Though he had sustained a fatal injury, the researcher didn't die immediately. He could feel a warm, moist, and soft object sliding along his wound.
It was the Lizard's long tongue, which had been extended from his mouth. And it was licking the fresh blood flowing from the man's wound!
Inside the building, on the same floor as Connors's laboratory, other staff members were horrified by the scene and started fleeing downstairs.
And it was during this descent from floor to floor that the chaos truly began.
From the surveillance footage, security personnel who discovered the emergency situation in the building immediately pressed the emergency alarm button and used the intercom to direct the panicked crowd to evacuate in an orderly manner.
However, amid the urgent sound of alarms and the fear instilled by the Lizard, the escape process not only failed to proceed smoothly but instead became even more chaotic.
Seeing this situation, the head of security quickly organized other security personnel within the building to equip themselves with weapons and proceed to the location of the Lizard for containment.
At the same time, the head of security dialed a series of numbers and connected to a phone number: "Hello! Mr. Osborn, this is Johnny, the head of security at Osborn Group.
A major incident has occurred within the company building. A lizard-like creature has killed one of our researchers.
Most importantly – this creature emerged from Dr. Connors' laboratory...".
