The AI had already warned Alex about the consequences of suppressing the pain with adrenaline.
It would come back with much more intensity.
It was the punishment given by the system, and in no way was it going to be light; all adrenaline could do was postpone the pain.

Well, it had turned so searing that Alex couldn't even let out a scream.
"ARGGH—"
His scream was cut short as his breath paused. The muscles that had been convulsing for a while already got constricted, squeezing his bones, more so when they were deprived of the little oxygen they had.
His body was in so much pain that it stopped functioning, turning stiff as if he had been frozen in time.
His back arched as if he had been punched in the gut.
