Thud...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of heavy footsteps suddenly came from within one of the operating rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each sound, the stench seemed to intensify, drilling straight into their noses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions changed, staring intently at the operating room door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ominous green light seeped through the door cracks, eerily illuminating the floor in front of the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a tall figure slowly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person was at least two and a half meters tall, wearing a stiffened white coat soaked with dark blood stains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his face was a medieval-style bird mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the mask’s lenses, scarlet light flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His one hand was transformed into a huge rust-covered bone clamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other hand held a lantern emitting bizarre green light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of their hearts sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to think, this monster was the \"attending doctor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the green light shone over them, Xu Hao and Xiao Shuai felt their bodies stiffen, as if bound by invisible shackles, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More terrifyingly, beneath their skin, it felt like countless tiny insects were crawling, bringing a deep, bone-itching sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"attending doctor\" stepped forward with heavy steps, moving steadily towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From inside his white coat, he pulled out an arm-thick syringe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was a cloudy, dark red liquid, with worm-like creatures wriggling within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the syringe, aiming its rust-covered needle tip at Xu Hao’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hao’s eyes were filled with terror and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to experience the agony of body transformation again, he didn’t want to revert to the helpless experimental product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have... many important things left to do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still need to follow the boss and unite the Martial World...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I absolutely cannot... die here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense willpower miraculously brought a sliver of strength back to his restrained body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get the hell... off me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bellowed, lowering his head to crash forward, wrapping his arms around the attending physician’s waist, attempting to throw him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that tall figure merely swayed a little, remaining as steady as a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand that wasn’t occupied didn’t even push Xu Hao away, instead picking up a syringe, plunging it downward with a blank expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive needle was viciously stabbed into Xu Hao’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hao let out a cry of agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The viscous liquid injected into his body brought an indescribable pain, as if magma seared his veins, shaking his very soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, the bindings on Xiao Shuai loosened momentarily due to the attending physician’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Free once more, Xiao Shuai looked at the pained Xu Hao on the ground, his eyes instantly turning blood-red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed a bone saw from the nearby surgical table, charging at the attending physician.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attending physician seemed surprised at his escape, reacting a beat too slow, as Xiao Shuai struck viciously at his neck with the bone saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a clang, like chopping onto steel, leaving only a white mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this strike succeeded in angering the attending physician.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He abandoned Xu Hao, turning with emotionless eyes to lock onto Xiao Shuai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger descended upon Xiao Shuai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hao shouted at him, bearing the intense pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Shuai didn’t run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he couldn’t escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping the bone saw tightly, he assumed a haphazard stance, glaring at the terrifying presence before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attending physician’s eyes glowed red as he slowly raised the enormous syringe in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xiao Shuai thought he should be afraid, he felt unusually calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless thoughts flashed through his mind—his mother’s gentle words, his struggles on the streets, and the ever-unperturbed face of the chairman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a shame, chairman, I can’t follow you to establish the Illuminati and achieve your grand ideals...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he thought he was doomed, Xu Hao, who had fallen to the floor, suddenly grabbed the attending physician’s leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red liquid injected into him brought not only pain but also awakened a latent energy within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veins on his arms bulged, and his strength was astonishing, momentarily halting the attending physician’s actions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hao shouted with all his remaining strength, \"Cut his bird-beak mask, that’s the weak point!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gathered all his strength into his arms, leaping high, and with a whoosh of wind, he swung the bone saw at the attending physician’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supposedly sturdy bird-beak mask cracked with the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attending physician let out an inhuman scream of agony, dropping the syringe and clutching his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the cracks in the mask, Xiao Shuai saw a terrifying face stitched together like a jigsaw puzzle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them missed this chance, grabbing anything near them that could be used as a weapon, attacking the attending physician’s head fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the monster’s Life Force far exceeded their imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief loss of control, it swung a hand, tossing them like ragdolls against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Xu Hao and Xiao Shuai spat blood, unable to get up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their consciousness began to swiftly blur, and the scene before them sank into deeper darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attending physician picked up the syringe from the floor, stepping toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy footsteps pounded on their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it really seemed like the end...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hao and Xiao Shuai exchanged a glance, catching a hint of a bitter smile in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level of terrifying monster was clearly beyond what they could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy needle tip magnified in their vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they closed their eyes, waiting for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding world fell into an eerie silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to enter eternity at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1424,"2026-05-29T15:13:38.824Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","2a50cf2bee8c280d7b0616c253e0693f331d980ea296c71a27c56492bcc0fb88","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-856","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-854",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
