If there was any wish that Thaddeus Ross had besides his family, then it would undoubtedly be the super soldier serum that appeared in World War II and directly changed the course of World War II.
Super Soldier Serum.
Referred to as 3S serum, once taken, it can enhance the user's metabolic function and all body functions, reaching the peak of human potential.
Its creator, German-born scientist Abraham Erskine, described the 3S serum as the next step in human evolution.
pity...
The 3S serum created only one brilliant achievement before it fell silent. It seemed that the 3S serum was created only because of Captain America, Steve Rogers. On the day Captain America was born, his creator, Dr. Abraham Erskine, died in an assassination with the ultimate formula of the serum, as if he had completed his mission.
Even though Abraham Erskine is dead.
But over the years, the federal military has never given up on restoring the 3S serum, the "next step in human evolution." In the past few decades, no less than three-digit experiments have been conducted on the reproduction of the 3S serum alone.
Quantico's military laboratory is responsible for most of the research work on the super soldier serum. Even if such experiments are carried out in other places, the original experimental data will be sent to Quantico regardless of whether the experiments are successful or not, and they only keep copies of the experimental data.
For General Thaddeus Ross, who is determined to bring the military to a new level, this super soldier serum that can increase the overall strength of the military is more of a demon in his heart than an obsession.
But it's okay.
In the original story, Thaddeus Ross was so focused on the Super Soldier Serum because his wife Karen had passed away and he had no other thoughts. But in this timeline, to put it in a more vivid way, Thaddeus Ross was like a wild horse, but the reins of this wild horse were always held by Karen.
Lake asked Betty curiously, "Hasn't the general been focusing most of his energy on Target B recently?"
Target B.
The Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, is a soldier of the same generation as Captain America. After Bucky Barnes was captured, it was obvious that both the research on Bucky Barnes' immortality and the subcutaneous titanium bulletproof vest were far better than the research on the super soldier serum, whose formula has not yet been reversed.
Betty blinked: "Don't you know?"
Lake was confused: "What should I know?"
Betty said, "Target B is dead."
"What?"
"Um."
Betty seemed to have thought of something and said to Lake, "I also heard the genetic experiment team chatting over dinner. They said they found an inexplicable trace in the target's genes. When they were about to conduct a human experiment on the target, Target B inexplicably died on the operating table. Moreover, after death, he decomposed at an incredible speed. After this incident, the base was immediately sealed off."
Lake rubbed his chin.
Bucky Barnes is dead?
When Bucky Barnes was transferred to the Quantico base, Lake knew that Bucky Barnes would sooner or later be ruined by the group of crazy scientists at the base, but after knowing this news, Lake still felt it was a little unreal.
after all...
Bucky Barnes is at least a super...hero who can leave his mark in the Marvel Universe?
Now he died quietly.
Wow.
Lake sighed a little, but it was just a slight sigh, without any other emotions.
Betty continued, "During the research on Project B, we discovered a connection with the Super Soldier Serum experiment. Gamma rays were detected in Target B. So, the experiment has been transferred to my boyfriend and Yusuf Atta Mohammed's team."
Lake immediately looked at Betty.
Gamma rays?
He is familiar with this thing. Bruce Banner became Bruce Hulk Banner because of this thing.
Next second.
Lake looked at Betty: "What's your boyfriend's name?"
Betty was alert again: "What?"
Lake was not as nonchalant this time as he was last time. Instead, he said directly, "Don't ask. Just tell me. I promise I won't cause him any trouble."
Betty looked at Lake for a few seconds, then a smug smile appeared on her face. "He's a super scholar with seven doctorates: a doctorate in genetics, a doctorate in biology, a doctorate in nuclear physics..."
The more Lake listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Just say the name."
Seven doctoral degrees.
This is not a good feeling.
Betty looked at the look on Lake's face, "Bruce Banner, bro, what's wrong?"
Lake looked directly at the laboratory, which was closed during the experiment, with a flickering look in his eyes.
Is there something wrong?
Remove the word "ma".
This is a huge problem.
This is not right.
Lake remembered that he had investigated Bruce Banner one year. Although Banner was also working in a military laboratory at that time, he was in a laboratory in Texas. How did he come to Quantico for no reason?
besides...
Betty clearly doesn't lack fatherly love in this life, so why would she get involved with Bruce Banner, who is ten years older than her?
The most important point.
Lake looked at Betty suspiciously: "You said that the general has met Bruce Banner, and he doesn't object to your relationship?"
Betty shrugged. "When I first came to the base, Bruce was my mentor. Besides, I didn't tell my dad that Bruce and I were dating. He was a little bit dissatisfied with you dating that divorced reporter. Am I that stupid? If I told my dad, he would definitely have a big opinion."
Besides.
Betty felt that she and Bruce were just dating, and it was too early to talk about marriage. Even if they did, it would take at least half a year.
Lake couldn't help but hit Betty on the head.
Betty cried out in pain and covered her forehead: "What are you doing?"
Lake was amused: "Why? If I remember correctly, Bruce Banner is ten years older than you."
Betty looked at Lake with suspicion: "How do you know, brother? You said you haven't investigated it."
Lake rolled his eyes. "I investigated this when you were in college. Are you crazy? Come on, I don't understand. Please explain it to me. How could you be attracted to a man who is ten years older than you?"
Lake is thirty-three years old this year. If Bruce Banner is ten years older than Betty Boop, he is thirty-seven years old now. A thirty-seven-year-old man who has not married yet, no matter how outstanding he is, obviously has problems. Moreover, he is a thirty-seven-year-old man with seven doctoral degrees.
Betty blinked. "Smart, knowledgeable, honest, sincere, simple-minded, speaks softly, and works seriously..."
Lake's eyebrows jumped: "Okay, I get it."
All right.
Although she won't fall in love with Bruce Banner this time because of lack of fatherly love, she is completely obsessed with him this time.
Lake took a deep breath, looked at Betty, and said directly: "If you are just joking, I don't care. If you dare to do it for real, I will shoot him directly if the general doesn't kill him."
"Why?"
"You think I can't really do it with Rachel. When it comes to sex, do you think you can just find someone ten years older than you?"
"…"
Lake shook his head speechlessly, then made a zippering gesture to Betty to shut up, and looked back at the closed laboratory.
laboratory.
Gamma ray research.
Closed.
Fuck!
Lake's eyebrows raised in his heart, with an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness. He wondered if he would encounter the day when Bruce Banner became Bruce Hulk Banner?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Lake thought so in his heart, and came back to his senses. It's better to be safe than sorry, so he took out his phone, found the number of a supervisor at the Quantico military base and called him.
Fifteen minutes later.
Several teams of soldiers stationed at the Quantico base arrived directly downstairs by car. The reason they came here was that Lake had transferred them here directly under the name of General Ross who had been away for the past few days.
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one.
In the laboratory.
Dr. Bruce Banner, who looks like an honest scientist and is wearing a lab gown, is preparing to conduct his final study on gamma rays with Dr. Yusuf Atta Mohammed, who is also wearing a lab gown.
The efficiency of today's research was very high. The next few samples used in gamma ray experiments were irradiated by gamma rays and showed an experimental effect similar to that of the super soldier serum on Steve Rogers.
Yusuf Ata Mohammed walked out of the laboratory door. After the last experiment, he already knew that the agents from the Department of Homeland Security and the NCIS were downstairs. As soon as their experiment was over, the agents from the Department of Homeland Security and the NCIS would come in and take him away.
but.
This kind of thing will never happen.
Yusuf Ata Mohammed walked up to Bruce Banner, his expression serious and with the enthusiasm that only a scientist could have: "Bruce, let me do it this time."
Bruce was slightly confused: "What?"
Yusuf pointed to the instrument in the glass room that could generate and capture gamma rays and said, "Let me do it."
"…Are you crazy?"
Bruce continued to be confused. Are they crazy to conduct human experiments directly? The base didn't say that their research funds would be cut. Even if they wanted to conduct human experiments, they didn't need to do it themselves. There were so many nameless prisoners in overseas prisons that could be used.
only.
While Bruce was still shocked by Yusuf's words and didn't come back to his senses, Yusuf had already walked quickly to the instrument. The next second, when Bruce came back to his senses and chased in to stop Yusuf.
Yusuf pressed it directly.
Ten minutes later.
Boom!
Outside.
Lake raised his eyebrows when he heard the noise coming from the experimental building.
Got guessed?
Hulk is out of the cage?
…
