American comics: Only I know the plot

Chapter 157 The Rampaging Hulk

The entire laboratory was completely destroyed; most of the equipment was damaged, and the ground was covered with debris and bloodstains.

Most of the staff who remained at the scene and had not had time to escape huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.

Some were injured and bleeding, some were so frightened that they cried out in pain, and some were ashen-faced and completely stunned.

The concentration of radiation in the air continued to rise, the alarms on the instruments did not weaken in the slightest, and the danger was not over.

Li Wei knew that this place would soon be completely sealed off by the military, and the situation would become even more dire.

Sure enough, a few moments later, a series of piercing and urgent sirens came from outside the laboratory.

The sirens blared from afar, growing louder and louder, like a large net quickly enveloping the entire base.

Accompanying the sirens was the sound of uniform, heavy, powerful military boots pounding the ground.

General Ross's troops, fully armed, arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

The laboratory door was forcibly opened from the outside, and glaring emergency lights shone in instantly.

A group of soldiers dressed in black combat uniforms, wearing tactical helmets, and carrying fully automatic rifles filed in.

With serious expressions and swift movements, they quickly occupied key positions in the laboratory and sealed off all exits.

The cold, dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at every survivor present, showing no mercy and exuding a powerful sense of intimidation.

The soldiers had clear divisions of labor: some inspected the damage at the scene, some monitored radiation data, and some treated the wounded.

No one cared whether these workers were frightened, innocent, or had narrowly escaped the disaster.

In the eyes of the military, this experimental accident was a top-level military leak and security crisis.

All personnel present are the primary targets of control and must be firmly under their control; they are not allowed to act arbitrarily.

Li Wei, supporting himself on the medical cabinet, slowly straightened up and shielded his unconscious young assistant behind him.

He made no suspicious movements, simply standing quietly in place, cooperating with the soldiers' control.

The wound on his back was still bleeding, and the pain was getting more and more intense, causing cold sweat to constantly seep from his forehead.

Yet his expression remained calm, showing no sign of panic or anything unusual.

Several soldiers quickly walked up to Li Wei and gestured with the muzzle of their guns for him to raise his hands for inspection and control.

Li Wei obediently raised his hands, his movements slow and disciplined, without any resistance or unnecessary actions.

The soldiers scanned his entire body with a metal detector and only released him after confirming that he was not carrying any weapons or dangerous items.

He was then taken to a segregated area in the corner and placed under strict guard with the other survivors.

Li Wei quietly raised his eyes to observe the military personnel on site, and soon spotted General Ross at the back of the crowd.

General Ross was dressed in military uniform with prominent epaulets. His face was stern, and his eyes were filled with rage and malice.

He looked at the devastated laboratory, at the huge holes in the walls, his face so dark it was almost dripping with gloom.

This experiment, which the military had poured a great deal of resources into and on which they had placed high hopes, ended in complete failure and caused a major disaster.

General Ross gave orders in a low voice to his adjutant beside him, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion.

The content is nothing more than a complete lockdown of the base, activation of the highest level of alert, and a city-wide manhunt for the escaped Hulk.

At the same time, all personnel on site were strictly controlled, and no one was allowed to disclose the contents of the experiment or the truth about the monster's transformation.

Anyone who dares to leak even a single word will be dealt with as if they had leaked military secrets, with extremely serious consequences.

Li Wei witnessed all of this, and his heart turned ice-cold.

He knew that from that moment on, he, like everyone else present, was under surveillance by the military.

His identity, actions, and words will be closely monitored, and he could face imprisonment if he is not careful.

From that moment on, Bruce Banner became the target of the military's bounty and relentless pursuit.

Li Wei looked down at his hands, which were covered in dust and blood, and felt a deep sense of helplessness and self-blame.

He worked diligently for three whole days, proceeding step by step with utmost care, building trust, issuing warnings, and constantly reminding people.

In the end, however, they were unable to prevent the disaster and could not save the gentle and kind Bruce Banner.

The plot's momentum is so strong that it evokes despair; all struggles seem so insignificant in the face of fate.

Soldiers at the scene were still busy; some were taking photos as evidence, some were clearing debris, and some were compiling casualty statistics.

The medics entered the scene with first aid kits and began to provide basic first aid to the injured staff.

The unconscious young assistant was carried away by medics and taken to the base's emergency room for further examination and treatment.

Li Wei's back was cut and bandaged by the medic, which temporarily stopped the bleeding.

Throughout the entire process, Li Wei remained silent, neither speaking nor inquiring about information, nor behaving abnormally.

He was like an ordinary, frightened medical assistant—quiet, submissive, and unremarkable.

This is the only way he can protect himself now, and the only way to avoid being a prime suspect by the military.

Although most of the surveillance cameras were damaged in the accident, the military's eyes and ears are everywhere.

Li Wei could clearly feel several subtle gazes fixed on him.

Those were military intelligence personnel, observing everyone's reactions and screening for suspicious individuals.

He knew that his rescue efforts during the accident, as well as his actions of approaching the control panel to remind Banner, would be recorded and become the focus of the military investigation. He knew that he could easily get himself into trouble if he wasn't careful.

The alarm in the laboratory was finally turned off, but the oppressive atmosphere did not ease in the slightest.

The radiation monitoring equipment was restarted by the soldiers, and the data showed that the radiation concentration at the scene was still far beyond the safety standard.

Military personnel began donning heavy protective suits to cordon off and conduct initial cleanup of the core area.

All non-military personnel were required to leave the laboratory one by one in order and be questioned individually.

Li Wei stood in the middle of the line, watching as the people in front of him were taken away one by one into separate interrogation rooms.

When everyone came out, their faces were extremely pale and their eyes were filled with fear, clearly indicating that they had undergone severe interrogation.

The issues are nothing more than the experimental process, the cause of the accident, the identity of the monster, and whether the anomaly was known in advance, etc.

Any inappropriate answer could lead to being labeled a dangerous individual and losing one's freedom.

Li Wei's mind was racing, quickly sorting through all his words and actions to construct an impeccable argument.

He had to portray himself as a dutiful, cautious, and simply performing his duties as an ordinary medical assistant.

The purpose of approaching the control panel was to check the protective seal, and the reminder to suspend the experiment was based on occupational safety judgment.

Rescuing an injured colleague was a medical instinct, and all actions were reasonable and without flaws.

He cannot reveal that he knows the plot, cannot reveal that he foresaw the accident, and cannot show any abnormality.

Once the time traveler's identity is exposed, what awaits him will not be leniency, but endless research and imprisonment.

In this world dominated by superheroes and supervillains, an ordinary person who knows the future faces immense difficulties.

Li Wei took a deep breath, suppressing all distracting thoughts, his eyes becoming calm and firm, preparing to face the upcoming questioning.

The line moved forward little by little, and soon it was Li Wei's turn.

An expressionless military intelligence officer gestured for him to follow him to a separate, makeshift interrogation room.

The room was small, with only a table and two chairs. The lighting was glaring, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

The intelligence officer sat opposite him, with recording equipment and a notebook in front of him, his eyes sharply fixed on Li Wei.

"Name, identity, duties at the base."

The intelligence officer's voice was cold and rigid, devoid of any emotion, like that of a machine.

Li Wei answered calmly, based on the truth, his tone steady and without the slightest panic.

Every word he uttered was consistent with his identity as a medical assistant and perfectly matched the base's records.

"Did you notice anything unusual before the experimental accident occurred? Did you have any unusual communication with Bruce Banner?"

This is the most critical issue, and also the easiest trap to expose.

Li Wei was well-prepared and responded calmly, following the prepared script.

He stated that he was merely conducting a routine check of the protective seals when he discovered abnormal radiation levels and issued a reminder as part of his duties.

"Do you know the true purpose of the experiment? Are you aware that Dr. Banner's experiment carries significant risks?"

Li Wei shook his head, speaking sincerely, indicating that he was only responsible for medical support and did not have access to the core experimental content.

He only cared about personnel health and radiation safety, and knew nothing about the experimental principles, purpose, or risks.

All judgments are based on fundamental radiation safety knowledge and are fully in line with the professional scope of a medical assistant.

"Did you have any ulterior motives for rescuing your injured colleague during the accident? Was it related to any escape attempt?"

Li Wei explained calmly that providing assistance was simply a medical professional's instinct, without any ulterior motives.

He only had normal working interactions with Banner, who was the head of the experiment, while he was just a low-level assistant.

He had no interaction with Banner at all, and there was no private contact or ulterior motive.

The entire interrogation lasted nearly an hour, with intelligence officers repeatedly questioning the suspects and constantly changing their angles.

They tried to find loopholes, contradictions, and anomalies in Li Wei's answers to pry him out.

Li Wei's answer was watertight, logically consistent, and all his actions had a reasonable explanation.

He remained calm and cooperative, showing no signs of suspicion, leaving intelligence agents with no leverage against him.

In the end, the intelligence officers stared at Li Wei for a long time but found no flaws, so they had to temporarily end the interrogation.

Li Wei was allowed to leave the interrogation room, but he remained under close surveillance and his movements were strictly restricted.

He cannot leave the base, cannot contact the outside world, cannot communicate freely, and can only stay in the designated dormitory area.

Li Wei awaits further investigation results and the military's final handling plan for the incident.

Li Wei returned to his cramped dormitory, closed the door, and finally relaxed completely, collapsing onto the hard bed.

The wound on my back still ached faintly, and my mental exhaustion and depression had reached their peak.

He stared at the dim ceiling, his mind replaying the scene of the Hulk transforming in the laboratory.

Those bewildered and confused eyes kept appearing before him, lingering there.

Li Wei knew that although the Hulk had escaped the base, the danger was not over.

General Ross is stubborn and inflexible; he will never give up the pursuit and will use all his resources to search for him.

Banner will live a life of anonymity, constantly on the run, living in fear of being hunted down.

He himself was also caught up in this storm and became the target of military surveillance, with his future filled with uncertainty and danger.

The desert outside the window remained desolate, with the cold wind howling as if in silent lament.

The sirens inside the base continued to sound intermittently, reminding everyone of the reality of the disaster.

Li Wei clenched his fist gently, and the resentment and determination in his heart rose again little by little.

He may not be able to stop the transformation, but that doesn't mean he can only watch Banner live in misery forever.

This silent struggle did not end with the experimental accident.

Instead, it entered a completely new phase in a more brutal and dangerous way.

Li Wei knew he had to survive, he had to break free from the military's control, and he had to find Banner.

He wanted to protect that kind doctor in his own way, and find a glimmer of hope in this cruel world.

Yellow sand filled the sky, the base was heavily fortified, and danger lurked everywhere.

Li Wei's path ahead was still full of thorns, with no end in sight.

But in the darkness, a faint yet resolute light rekindled in his eyes.

He will not give up, absolutely not.

Li Wei bent down and carefully handed the unconscious young assistant to the medical staff who rushed over.

His fingertips still bore traces of the boy's warm blood from his forehead, and the movement aggravated the wound on his back, sending a sharp, stinging pain through him.

Before Li Wei could straighten up and catch his breath, two heavy, dark figures rapidly approached from both sides.

Two incredibly strong hands pressed down hard on his shoulders, instantly subduing him.

Li Wei's body stiffened abruptly, and the weight that had just been lifted from his heart instantly rose again.

He slowly raised his head, and what came into view were two fully armed military soldiers.

The black combat uniform was taut and powerful, and the tactical helmet covered most of his face, revealing only his cold and ruthless jawline.

The muzzle of the rifle in his hand was slightly lowered, but he remained in a state of readiness to fire at any moment.

Before Li Wei could react, the soldiers had already lifted his arms.

The force was so great it was almost brutal, nearly crushing his shoulder, leaving him no chance to resist.

Li Wei's feet were forced off the ground, and he could only be passively dragged by the two men towards the outside of the laboratory.

The soles of the shoes scraped against the ground, which was covered with debris and bloodstains, making a harsh screech.

The other surviving staff members around him all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Li Wei's gaze.

They were terrified by what they had just witnessed and, fearing the authority of the military, only sought to protect themselves.

No one dared to stand up for Li Wei, and no one dared to step forward and ask what had happened.

The only sounds at the scene were the footsteps of the soldiers dragging Li Wei and their heavy breathing.

Li Wei was dragged along through the devastated laboratory.

The smoke and dust from the explosion still lingered, fragments of equipment were scattered all over the ground, and the smell of radiation was pungent and unpleasant.

The huge hole in the wall was still letting in yellow sand, and the cold wind from outside made him shiver.

He didn't struggle or question anything; he simply obediently allowed himself to be taken away, trying to minimize his presence.
