Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Mountain Rain is Coming, and the Wind Fills the Building
The roads are always congested, not to mention Manhattan Island, which is far more densely populated than other boroughs. At three o'clock, Samuel Stern and Banner drove south from Uptown, but Highway 30 was congested with traffic and took nearly an hour to get to Downtown.
Parking the car on the side of a small three-story building, Banner stepped out of the car with his right hand pressed the brim of his hat, and when a passer-by passed him, his right hand shook slightly, and an instrument of the same color as Banner's clothes, only three or four millimeters, stuck to his clothes, and then continued to walk forward as if nothing happened.
Betty looked around, most of the signs in the shops around her were in traditional Chinese characters that she didn't recognize, and it was her first time here, and she felt as if she had come to a foreign country.
Samuel Stern locked the car and walked into the house, still chattering: "There are very few people in Chinatown, and the Chinese don't like to meddle in things, they won't call the police immediately if they find anything unusual, and the most important thing is that the food here is delicious." ”
"The experiment was successful, I'll ask you whatever you want to eat." Banner pressed his hat with his hand and looked around vigilantly, the sun had begun to set in the west, many shop signs were lit up, and there were more and more people on the street, which made Banner feel very uneasy.
The three of them walked into the room, and Samuel Stern began to introduce his secret base again: "The basement has been transformed into a biological experiment center by me, and even if I shoot again, the sound will not come out." The first floor is where I live, and the second floor where we are going now is where the instruments are placed, and I have all set them up and am ready to conduct experiments. ”
"What about the third floor?"
"Hmm...."Banner's inquiry made Samuel Stern hesitate for a moment before replying, "It's where the serum is kept, and you sent too few blood samples, so I concentrated it and made more blood samples." ”
"What?" For the first time, Banner felt that sending his own blood samples to this guy should be a wrong choice, obviously in the email, repeatedly emphasizing the danger of these things, he even did biological experiments, condensed and made more blood samples, this is still known, so what about the unknown?
"What else have you done?" Banner yelled at Samuel Stern, and the heartbeat detector on his wrist immediately 'drop!' Drip! Samuel Stern hurriedly raised his hands: "Hey, hey, relax, relax, I'm all here for research, and the few blood samples you sent can't do a few experiments at all." I need to repeat the data many times to reduce the error, I can swear that no one but me knows about the existence of these blood samples, all the blood samples made are kept on the third floor, and I am about to go bankrupt in order to save these things and buy so much equipment. ”
Banner didn't say anything, raised his legs and walked towards the third floor, pushing open the door, inside were rows of freezers, through the glass, you could clearly see the bags of blood hanging inside, and the time and concentration were marked with watercolor pens.
Banner was shocked by the fact that it would be a disaster for so much blood to come out, and Samuel Stern said of his discovery: "Your blood, or gamma energy, has infinite possibilities, infinite potential, and countless uses. Before moving, I did dozens of virus experiments, and the viruses all died in a very short time, and I haven't found more and stronger viruses for the time being. But if you unlock the secret of your blood to destroy the virus, you can make a vaccine against many diseases, this is definitely a discovery that can win the Nobel Prize, and the patent alone is enough for a lifetime, no, ten lifetimes......"
In the end, Samuel Stern spoke in a feverish tone and his eyes lit up, as if untold glory and money had been thrown down in an overwhelming manner, which is why he persisted in his experiments despite the dangers.
The vaccine that can resist many diseases that human beings are still helpless can definitely be compared to penicillin, no, it will be a historical discovery that surpasses penicillin, which will not only make him a rich man but also leave a name in history, under the temptation of such fame and fortune, any danger is just a small meaning.
"No, these things must be destroyed, nothing can be left, and they must be destroyed now." Banner's words, like a basin of cold water poured on his head, shattered Samuel Stern's illusions in an instant.
"What?" This time it was Samuel Stern's turn to be shocked, and he looked at Banner with a deep puzzle and incredulity in his eyes: "You probably didn't hear clearly, do you want me to repeat what I just said?" ”
"Stern, I hear you very clearly," Banner said patiently, "but the military doesn't need it to heal, but to create monsters like me." I am the host and victim of the experiment, and I know the dangers of this serum. ”
"But we also have to see the benefits of this serum, once it succeeds, it will save countless people." Samuel Stern argued loudly that if he succeeded, he would become a great man in the eyes of the world, rather than being a professor in the school.
"What are the odds of success, and how many monsters will be created before that?" Banner was not in the slightest interested in Samuel Stern's pie.
Betty on the side had to say out loud: "Hey, two, I think these things that can't be seen and touched can be discussed later, now why don't you talk about how to solve the things in Banner's body first." The military has been hunting down Bruce, and it would be dangerous to stay here any longer. ”
As Betty said, at this time, seven or eight military vehicles were parked in front of the building of the biology department of Gebang College, and a group of heavily armed soldiers were running out of the building to board the military vehicles in an orderly manner. At the front of the line was a general information command vehicle, inside which General Ross was listening to the report of his men: "Samuel Stern found emails between him and Bruce Banner on his personal computer, discussing how to deal with the Hulk in Bruce Banner's body..."
"What did you say?" General Rose burst out, a thick anger on his face, and shouted, "Find them immediately, you must not let Hulk disappear." ”
A woman sitting in front of the computer looked up and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has provided the latest information, and the traffic camera near Grand Street in Chinatown in Downtown City captured Samuel Stern's car. ”
"All the teams immediately rushed over at full speed, and notified the Army Airlines to send two helicopter gunships to escort Bronsky and the arrest team to the transport helicopter to come, and inform the police station to be ready to evacuate the residents of the nearby point at any time..."
General Ross issued a series of orders, and the army's transports and armored vehicles immediately started up, and under the light of the setting sun, they advanced at full speed towards the lower city. Two helicopter gunships and a large twin-helix CH-47 transport helicopter also took off from a military base and flew at full speed towards Manhattan Island at an altitude of no more than 20 meters above the water.
