After saying that, a black sedan pulled up in front of Justin Hammer, who waved goodbye to Bronsky and then got into the completely soundproof car.
"Humans are really interesting creatures. Let me see just how much trouble you can cause."
There's no need to worry about being exposed. 'Justin Hammer' reverted to his original appearance, a green-skinned Skrull mechanic. The 'injection' he gave Bronsky wasn't a serum to enhance his abilities, but rather a vial of 'G-virus' that he had modified.
“Should we consider changing our identities?” The driver, also a Skuru, was worried that the move would attract unwanted attention.
"That is, he can survive intact," the Skrull mechanic said knowingly, "and then there must be enough evidence to indict the human 'Justin Hammer'."
Chapter 73 Out of Control (1/4, Requesting monthly votes and continued reading)
The following afternoon, at Graben University in New York.
Li Ai wore mithril glasses and an inconspicuous dark gray hoodie, with her hands in her pockets, looking like an ordinary college student strolling on campus.
Behind him, Banner and Betty were also transformed by the disguise spell of the sorcerer Daniel. Banner became a middle-aged man with short brown hair and a rugged face, while Betty became a young woman with black hair tied in a ponytail and wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Grabburn University was established relatively early, and there was no proper planning at the time. They didn't even build a wall, so citizens could walk around freely, making it difficult to rule out suspects one by one.
The three walked down the corridor of the teaching building and soon found Samuel Stern's classroom. They arrived just as the professor finished class and came out of the classroom carrying a stack of experimental data.
Samuel Stern was a thin, white man with a nerdy air about him. He wore a blue short-sleeved shirt that was by no means fashionable, as if he wanted Banner to know that he was 'Mr. Blue'.
“Mr. Blue?” Banner stepped forward and called out in a low voice.
"Mr. Green?" Stern replied using a code name only the two of them knew, slightly surprised.
"I didn't expect you to be so humble. I thought..."
"Let's talk somewhere else," Li Ai suggested, his gaze sweeping over several seemingly casual figures with backpacks at the end of the corridor. He could see that they were all wearing concealed earpieces, most likely intelligence agents.
“Alright, alright, come to my lab.” Stern nodded repeatedly, looking as if afraid Banner would run away, and quickly led the three of them to his lab.
Shortly afterward, in Stern's lab, he told the three of them about things to be careful about later.
The procedure is similar to hemodialysis. Stern will draw Banner's blood, and his 'antidote' will completely combine with Banner's blood to remove most of the gamma radiation before the blood is returned to Banner's body.
Banner lay on the lab table, the instruments humming.
He closed his eyes, feeling the blood being drawn out little by little, while Stern stared at the data on the screen, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
"The data is very stable, and your cells are responding to the antidote much better than expected." Stern's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Banner opened his eyes and looked at the glaring incandescent light on the ceiling: "You seem more anxious than I am."
“Of course, this is a landmark study!” Stern’s eyes flickered.
Betty also participated in the surgery, while Li Ai focused her attention on the next room, where there were rows of freezers filled with Banner's blood that had been artificially replicated.
If Li Ai remembers correctly, after Banner's surgery, a power-hungry, crazed soldier will come here and force Stern to inject him with blood full of gamma rays, which will then transform him into a monster called 'Abomination' that can overpower the Hulk.
Looking at Dr. Stern, who was still immersed in his own world, Li Ai came up with a simple plan.
However, starting the instruments required a lot of power, which led General Ross to discover the unexpected situation. He was two blocks away, sitting in a mobile command vehicle disguised as a civilian van.
"Why is there an abnormal power supply in Stern's laboratory?" General Ross looked at the readings on the screen, both suspicious and angry, and immediately asked the intelligence officer:
"Are these intelligence agents just drawing salaries without working? How could they let Bruce Banner swagger into the destination like that!"
“But sir, our intelligence personnel have confirmed that no one matching Bruce Banner’s profile has entered Greyburn University.”
The intelligence officer was dumbfounded, wondering if Bruce Banner could use disguise magic.
At that moment, Bronsky's slightly low, questioning voice came through the communication channel: "Bruce Banner has actually shown up?"
Culver University is a full six hours' drive from New York City, and there are checkpoints along the way. Even if he drove like crazy, he couldn't have gotten this fast, could he?
Could it be that Hulk has the superpower of teleportation?
Bronsky, waiting in another large truck, grew increasingly excited. He had already been injected with the modified G-virus and felt a surge of power every second.
The incomplete Super Soldier Serum and the specially formulated G-Virus have had a psychological impact, amplifying Bronsky's desire to defeat the Hulk and prove his power.
But then Bronsky remembered that Banner had come to New York for "treatment," and if Banner succeeded, wouldn't he lose his chance to defeat the Hulk?
"We can't let him succeed!" Bronsky's face was contorted with bulging veins, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Bronsky! Proceed according to plan!" General Ross roared into the communications channel.
But Bronsky could no longer hear.
The Rival Armor's thruster nozzles opened, and the eight-meter-tall metal giant smashed through the roof of the carriage, soaring into the air amidst the terrified screams of passersby, and sped toward Greyburn University.
General Ross watched helplessly as the dot representing Bronsky broke away from the formation, gritting his teeth as he grabbed the walkie-talkie:
"Damn it, everyone move out! The NYPD will help us too!"
....................................
Meanwhile, the 'surgery' in the laboratory has also been successfully completed.
Stern stared at the data screen without looking up, his tone fervent: "My God, this is perfect! If I can continue to study your blood sample, what's a Nobel Prize? This is the key to human evolution!"
"Continue?" Banner felt a lightness in his body, but he also sensed something was off about Stern's words.
Betty pushed open the glass door and saw a large amount of Banner's blood, replicated through technological means. She looked at the man warily and questioned him:
"We're just trying to treat Banner, what exactly do you want?"
“Of course I want to do this for humanity…” Before Stern could continue his ‘profound’ remarks, Li Ai punched him unconscious.
“The wish is quite grand, but gamma rays are still too dangerous.” Li Ai said as he remotely controlled the computer to delete experimental data. After doing all this, he made a phone call to Master Daniel.
"Hey, Mage Daniel, open a portal for me..."
The portal slowly opened in a corner of the laboratory, and Mage Daniel peeked out, letting out a helpless sigh:
"You're really using me like a taxi."
"This shows I acknowledge your magical skills. Also, keep an eye on this guy for me; I'll deal with him after I've taken care of other things." Li Ai smiled slightly, tossed the unconscious Stern over, and then said to Banner and Betty:
"As for whether the surgery will be effective, we'll have to wait and see during the recovery period. Until then, you should stay at the Sanctuary for a while."
"And what about you?" Betty asked.
“There’s a dangerous guy on the road, and I have to deal with this problem.”
Li Ai turned to look in another direction. The scan information showed that a high-energy heat source was rapidly approaching, and most importantly, the person on the body was exposed to nuclear radiation!
“Okay, let’s go first.” Banner nodded, and before stepping into the portal, he said to Li Ai:
"Good luck."
After saying that, Banner and Betty walked into the portal together. Mage Daniel glanced at Li Ai and then closed the portal.
Suddenly, a huge rumble came from outside, followed by the sound of armored vehicles breaking through the wall.
Almost simultaneously, the eight-meter-tall rival armored vehicle crashed through the laboratory wall, causing the entire teaching building to shake violently, with concrete fragments raining down.
Bronsky's eyes were filled with a crazed killing intent. He was completely blinded by the desire for power and only wanted to kill Hulk to prove his strength.
"Get Bruce Banner and his monster out here!" Bronsky roared inside the armor, but he received no response, only a clear and powerful low shout.
"HenShin!"
Chapter 74 Who Do You Want Me to Hit? (2/4 Requesting Monthly Tickets and Follow-Up)
Awaken! Awaken! Awaken!
Accompanied by a mechanical sound, black and blue mist surged, and Kamen Rider ZZZ Tech Surge Form appeared in the laboratory.
【Good Morning! Rider! Z·Z·Z! Stream! 】
“Your opponent is me.” Visible blue energy swirled around Li Ai’s hands.
"Number Seven? Then I'll kill you first!"
Bronsky's eyes narrowed, and the thrusters of the Rival Armor's back, legs, and right arm simultaneously erupted. The eight-meter-tall steel armor charged towards Li Ai with a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, and its huge metal fist slammed into his head.
Seeing this, Li Ai pushed forward with both hands, and two streams of blue energy instantly condensed into a semi-transparent wall. With a muffled 'bang', the steel fist slammed into the energy wall, and the huge impact caused Li Ai to slide backward several meters.
"Number Seven? What kind of internal code name is this for me!" Li Ai said unhappily. At the same time, he clapped his hands together, and the nearly broken air wall turned into a bomb. The violent airflow almost destroyed the laboratory.
All the research data was cut into pieces, and the freezers that stored Banner's blood were also destroyed. Once removed from the low-temperature environment, the blood would deteriorate, and the gamma toxins in it would gradually dissipate upon contact with air.
Li Ai intentionally sabotaged the laboratory's data and findings to prevent others from obtaining them.
The indoor environment wasn't conducive to combat either. After taking the blast head-on from the airflow bomb, Bronsky retreated from the lab and onto the lawn of Graben University, where he roared at Li Ai:
"Since you've chosen to stand on the same side as Bruce Banner, I'd like to see if he'll still cower in a corner like a turtle if you die!"
The campus outside was already in complete chaos. The students who were taking a walk saw the steel giant rushing out of the teaching building and the mysterious person emitting blue light, and they immediately screamed in terror.
"There are monsters!"
"Run!"
"No, that's ZZZ! He must be here to protect us!"
The crowd surged outwards like a tidal wave. Some people took out their phones to take pictures, some were so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, and others ran and cried. The entire campus of Graben University instantly turned into a chaotic disaster scene.
Li Ai used the airflow to lift herself into the air, observing the suddenly appearing nuclear-powered armor from above.
The armor shell only had a few yellow and black warning signs, making it impossible to tell which company it was from, but its power was truly formidable; the surging airflow barrier almost failed to block the opponent's attack.
Although the nuclear-powered armor looked enormous, it was extremely agile. Upon spotting Li Ai in mid-air, Bronsky immediately maneuvered the armor into the air and launched a second attack with its hard iron fist.
At that moment, the sound of sirens and the roar of military armored vehicles could be heard in the distance. General Ross's troops and NYPD police cars arrived at the scene at the same time.
Sheriff George Stacy got out of the car and looked at the chaos before him. His face darkened instantly. He was about to order the officers to evacuate the crowd when he heard General Ross's roar.
"Listen up, everyone! That blue guy is a traitor! He assisted terrorists in attacking the military! Open fire!" General Ross held a walkie-talkie, his face flushed with rage.
First, Banner suddenly appeared in New York for no apparent reason, leaving him no time to mobilize the military forces deployed there. Then Bronsky disobeyed orders, and then there was the sudden appearance of Agent Seven. Every step of his plan was disrupted.
But if he could pin the blame on "Number Seven," label him a traitor, and silence him completely, General Ross believed he might still be able to earn another medal.
The soldiers under General Ross obeyed the order, immediately raised their guns, aimed at Li Ai who was fighting with Bronsky, and pulled the trigger.
On the other hand, the NYPD officers were stunned. ZZZ? A traitor? How could someone who saved so many civilians in the highway incident be a criminal?
George Stacy, who was leading the officers to the scene, was caught in the middle. He had received help from the ZZZ and had worked with the ZZZ to solve a large number of cases, which resulted in a significant decrease in the crime rate throughout New York City.
But George Stacy is in the NYPD, and this mission was personally arranged by the director. If he goes on strike, he will only drag himself down.
After much deliberation, George Stacy gave the order to his colleagues at the NYPD, "Guys, fire!"
“But…” a newcomer hesitated, “ZZZ saved my mom in the highway incident; she almost died in the car.”
"Don't say that." The veteran officer nudged the new recruit and then lowered his voice:
"The deputy director told you to fire, but did he tell you to aim?"
"No wonder he can become the deputy director..."
"It'll probably be positive soon."
Upon hearing this, the newcomer suddenly understood, and the entire NYPD team tacitly entered a state of providing manpower but not physical strength; the trigger was pulled, but the bullet's trajectory was irrelevant.
The soldiers were indeed firing, bullets flying towards Li Ai. He raised his right hand, and a gel-like air barrier absorbed the kinetic energy of the bullets, rendering them harmless.
Li Ai discovered that the driver inside the armor was psychologically very abnormal. If he were to drive the nuclear-powered armor into battle in the city, it could cause catastrophic consequences. So he made a move to distract the driver.
"You think you can catch the Hulk? You probably can't even catch a fly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of compressed air exploded beneath Li Ai's feet, propelling him away into the distance.
"Stop right there!" Without a second thought, Bronsky gave chase, activating all his thrusters simultaneously and extending a pair of wings from his back, allowing him to barely catch up with Li Ai.
Two figures chased each other in the low sky, and soon they arrived above an abandoned factory area in the West Side of Manhattan.
Upon realizing they had reached their destination, Li Ai began to accelerate downwards, returning to the ground in the blink of an eye and creating a gust of air.
The airflow brushed against the walls of the abandoned factory, causing plaster to fall to the ground and revealing the rusted, blackened steel bars inside.
This place was once a thriving factory, but over time it fell into disrepair and has been waiting for new people to develop it.
Boom—
With a loud bang, Bronsky crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust as his rival's armor kicked up a cloud of dust.
Looking at Bronsky who was chasing after them, Li Ai calmly said, "This factory has been abandoned for many years. It is indeed very suitable as a battlefield."
"It should be called your grave!" Bronsky's fist clenched so tightly it cracked, the transmission system hissed shrilly, and that iron fist capable of piercing a main battle tank was raised again.
