It is better to unblock than to block!
That's why Lake changed his mind at the last minute.
Although Betty is no longer at the age dominated by teenage hormones, there is no doubt that Betty's personality is very obvious. The more you want her not to do something, the more she will do it.
This is not good.
Lake's original plan was simple, to tell Betty that Bruce Banner was dead, but he forgot to block the phone signal at home tonight, and as a result, he made a mistake.
In that case, let's make a temporary change.
Rather than letting Betty go against them in the future, it would be better to control the risks within their controllable range right now.
The most important point.
Hulk has already been born, and Lake has no intention of pushing Hulk towards his arch-enemy, S.H.I.E.L.D.
Bruce Banner is a member of the military, and even after his death he will remain a member of the military. In this case, Bruce Hulk Banner is also a member of the military, and even after his death he will remain the Hulk of the military.
Half an hour later.
With Lake's assurance that Bruce Banner would not be sliced, and Betty's nod, the military rushed here, and after picking up Bruce, they drove to the Quantico base in time.
Betty was going to follow.
Lake did not stop her. He wanted Betty not to go, but Bruce Banner seemed too insecure and imagined the organization he had been serving to be too evil. So, in order to prevent Hulk from coming out, Lake did not stop her.
soon.
Quantico base.
General Thaddeus Ross also came.
In the large warehouse of the base.
General Ross walked over and glared at Betty, as if to say, I'll settle the score with you later. Then, he said to Bruce Banner, who was temporarily placed in the warehouse, "Dr. Banner, I'm so glad you're okay. Can you help us spread the word?"
When he came over, Lake had already called Ross and told him to try not to make Ross feel threatened, otherwise the monster in his body would come out.
Bruce Banner opened his mouth and told everything he knew.
He doesn't know much either.
How did he transform, and how did he lose control of himself after the transformation? And then, how did he hide in the sewage pipe?
General Ross frowned: "Dr. Banner, can you control this power?"
Banner shook his head: "No, but this should be related to my situation. I can feel that when my heartbeat speeds up, he seems to run out of my body and take over."
Ross nodded, not quite understanding. "Dr. Banner, would you mind if we could do an examination?"
Banner glanced at Betty and gave a wry smile: "As long as it's not sliced."
Ross's expression was serious: "Dr. Banner, you are our important asset. Your value to us far exceeds that monster's value to us."
Dr. Banner seemed relieved. Although he was well aware of the conduct of the military, General Ross's words were at least a superficial guarantee.
Out of the warehouse.
General Ross immediately reported his discovery to the people, not only to look for the two-meter-five-meter-tall monster, but also to look for Yusuf in human form.
Bruce Banner was able to recover, and perhaps Yusuf had also recovered. Then, relying on the information gap between them, he had already hidden somewhere unknown at this moment.
After giving the order.
General Ross and Lake returned to the office.
"What's going on?"
"Banner called Betty at night and I followed him. He was planning to sneak away to India, and then I came out."
"…What do you think?"
"Which area do you mean?"
"Your sister!"
"Betty's personality is like that. The more we object, the more she gets excited. It's better to let her go than to block her. How long was Betty's last boyfriend? Seven months or ten months?"
"What about Bruce?"
"For us, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"How do you say that?"
Lake thought for a moment and said to Ross, "Although we currently have very little information, as far as Dr. Bruce Banner is concerned, he is controllable. As long as Dr. Bruce Banner doesn't feel threatened, he won't transform. Besides, Bruce is a member of our military, so there's no need for us to push him out."
Ross thought for a moment. "So, what do you mean?"
Lake spread his hands and said, "Let's wait and see. There are some experimental data that Betty can conduct. After a certain period of time, perhaps we can let that Hulk come out and try to make contact with him. Perhaps, he will become ours."
Ross looked at Lake and laughed: "You changed your stance too quickly."
Lake smiled and said, "I'm just being flexible."
Ross was silent.
However, this also means that Ross does not object to Lake's idea. If... if Bruce Banner can demonstrate his value to the military, then Ross will not be too opposed to Betty and Bruce's affairs.
If Bruce Banner can't control, or in other words, the Hulk can't be touched, then that's a different story.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
In the laboratory.
Lake and Ross stood outside the observation window. Inside, Bruce Banner sat on the examination chair. He was not nervous because Betty was also participating in the experiment. Betty was standing next to Bruce Banner.
only...
General Ross looked at the image of his own little cabbage holding Bruce Banner's right hand, his eyebrows twitching, and he strongly suppressed the urge to rush in and shoot Bruce.
Lake was also watching this scene, but he didn't feel any emotional fluctuations.
It's just that the scene feels a bit eye-catching, because Lake always unconsciously sees Bruce as Hulk, and then a classic movie emerges in Lake's mind.
That gorilla who dared to fly over the Empire State Building for his girlfriend.
King Kong!
Lake shook his head and the phone rang.
Connected.
After a while.
Lake hung up the phone and said to General Ross next to him: "General, I'm going out for a while."
Ross came back to his senses and glanced at Lake: "That female reporter?"
Lake smiled.
Ross's eyebrows twitched, and he clapped his hands at Lake, looking as if he wanted to get out of here quickly.
no way.
It's because the son and daughter in the family are not very reliable.
Lake hooked up with a divorced female reporter with children.
Betty?
My goodness, he is still alive. Besides, is the fatherly love he gave not enough? Why does he want to find someone who is ten years older than him? To make up for the lack of fatherly love?
Why.
It seems that I need to talk to Karen again and see if I can find an opportunity to take my two children to see a psychologist.
General Ross thought so. When Betty and Lake were young, the cost of seeing a psychiatrist alone accounted for a large part of their expenses.
Lake didn't know what General Ross was thinking, so he reminded General Ross to control his temper and not let Bruce go crazy. Then he drove away.
In an open-air cafe near the Jefferson Memorial.
"Hi."
"Hi."
Lake got out of the car, kissed Rachel who was already there, and then found a seat to sit down.
look up.
The weather is nice.
Lake ordered a bourbon and a burger, then looked at Rachel sitting opposite him and asked, "Did you miss me?"
Rachel rolled her eyes and said, "When did you come back?"
"The day before yesterday."
Lake took a sip of the bourbon that was served to him and said, "I have some business to attend to. I was planning to visit you this afternoon, but then you called me."
Rachel said, "Quantico?"
Lake laughed. "Yes, there's a nuclear test crisis. There might be a terrorist in Quantico. I came here to investigate."
"What was the result?"
"great."
"It felt great to have kept the homeland safe for once," Lake said.
Rachel rolled her eyes at Lake and said, "If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask you."
If Lake were just Lake, Rachel might ask.
But there is a certain relationship between the two, so if Lake doesn't want to say it, Rachel won't ask.
After a while.
Rachel said, "In the past few months, Josie has been asking you when you're going to take him to Los Angeles."
Lake smiled and thought for a moment: "How about next month, we take a leave and go to Los Angeles?"
Josie.
Rachel's daughter, who is eight years old this year, looks like a smaller version of Rachel.
Rachel said, "Can you move away?"
Lake shrugged. "I've been busy with this case for the better part of six months. Taking a few days off is fine."
He won't marry Rachel, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like Rachel.
Rachel is beautiful.
There is a kind of cold beauty.
Lake liked her very much, so out of love for her, he was able to fulfill Qiao Xi's small request of taking her out to play.
What?
Take over?
Then a barren.
Lake doesn't have that kind of plot. As I said, even in the East Country, if you want to find a simple girl when you are in your thirties, you probably have to go to junior high school to make a reservation, let alone here in the Federation.
Besides.
If you don't get married, you will end up in poverty.
At the same time.
Quantico Military Base.
When Lake came to meet Rachel, Bruce Banner was accompanied by Betty in the base, and was undergoing a physical examination by the base doctors.
Just at this moment.
Near Quantico Airport, the Potomac River began to bubble on the surface, bubbling like the gurgling sound after the river boils.
"What's going on?"
The supervisor at the control console at Quantico Airport frowned and muttered after seeing this scene through a telescope.
The supervisor didn't quite understand and continued to look through the telescope.
Next second.
The supervisor's eyes narrowed, he put down the binoculars, and shouted urgently to his men, "Sound the alarm, quick!"
A soldier subconsciously pressed the alarm.
moment.
beep!
beep!
beep!
The alarm sounded instantly at Quantico Airport, and then the main control room at Quantico base immediately checked the airport tower surveillance.
But look up the Potomac.
A mad monster that appeared yesterday, transformed by Yusuf, is emerging from the river and starting to land towards the Quantico base.
turn out to be...
The guy hid in the mud in the river and rested all night.
…
