"Oh my God, oh my God. My God!" Samuel shouted excitedly. "This is simply a miracle, he's better, he's really better. It's amazing, truly amazing!"
Watching him gesticulate wildly, almost unable to contain himself, Betty and Bruce, who had just recovered from his exhaustion, both started to laugh.
"Samuel, you're overreacting."
"Overreacting? This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life. Overreacting is normal! Everything you've been through is a miracle, pal!" Samuel leaned forward, propping himself on the table to appear more imposing. "Everything that just happened was extremely dangerous, but he actually succeeded. What are the odds of such a situation? No one knows, I wouldn't even dare to imagine!"
"Oh, oh!" Betty stopped Samuel's continued frenzy and pressed him with concern; she needed an academic explanation to put her mind at ease. "Please calm down, Samuel. We need to review what exactly happened to Bruce."
"Alright, alright. Let's review." Samuel stood up, waving his hands as he began to explain. "The gamma pulse was radiating from deep within his cells. I think what you just did made Bruce subconsciously control the changes in his cells under this radioactive energy, which reduced the side effects of my antidote on his body. That's why he was able to endure it just now."
"And precisely because the gamma energy in his body was deeply hidden within his cells, it wouldn't manifest at all before being released. That's why he was able to live like a normal person all these years and didn't die from radiation sickness. You know, everything that happened to him was a mutation; turning into that form was a mutation, and changing back from that form was also a cellular mutation. This type of mutation is completely reversible, oh my God. This is simply a miracle!"
"Now, perhaps we have neutralized the radiation infection deep within his cells, or perhaps we have only temporarily suppressed his transformation. I believe it's the latter, but it's difficult to prove my hypothesis because no test subjects have ever survived! Of course, this might also be because they hadn't been injected with the initial muscle growth inhibitor."
"Wait, wait!" Bruce suddenly questioned upon hearing this. "You said test subjects, what test subjects!"
His expression was very strange, because in his memory, there was only one case like him in this World, at most with the addition of Jennifer.
Hearing Bruce's question, Samuel's face showed an even more excited expression.
"Come with me, pal. Let me show you my results!"
He led Bruce and Betty to a cold storage room. As soon as they entered, Bruce's eyes widened, and he asked with some disbelief.
"Damn it, what are these!"
"Bruce, look. These are all your blood. What you sent me wasn't enough for experiments, so I concentrated them and cloned more samples. With repeated experimental attempts, we can get anything we want from them. Bruce, this is a miracle."
Opening his arms wide, Samuel showed a triumphant expression. He seemed to have already seen his brilliant future in these things, and even the Nobel Prize was already beckoning to him.
"No, no, no, Samuel, you can't do this. You don't understand how dangerous this is." Bruce began to stop Samuel's delusion and clearly expressed his meaning. "We need to destroy these things, right now!"
"Are you crazy, pal? Do you know what we can do with these? Countless diseases will be curbed by us, we will become the gospel, we will benefit this World!"
Samuel, of course, would not agree with Bruce's idea; in his eyes, Bruce was simply crazy. And in Bruce's eyes, he was not much different. Such a clash of consciousness immediately plunged them into an argument.
And all of this was discovered by the snipers deployed by the Military.
"Officer, they are arguing. Target's heart rate is accelerating! Request firing approval!"
He reported the situation, which immediately drew General Ross's attention.
"Firing approval! You must give me a fatal shot. Make him sleep before the target transforms, understood!" General Ross began his operation, issuing orders to all his subordinates.
"Perimeter personnel, block all exits. Tactical team, prepare. Once the sniper succeeds, rush in immediately. Your primary objective is to rescue the hostage!"
"Sniper, you may begin your action at any time."
After a series of commands, the army began to operate like a giant machine. But there were always some who were unhappy.
Bronski was that person; he only wanted to fight the Hulk now, not prepare to rescue hostages. However, the superior's order was absolute, and he could only obey the command from General Ross.
At this moment, Bruce and Samuel's argument had reached a fever pitch.
"You don't understand how much energy is in there. It's too dangerous, and it's impossible for you to control it!"
"The three of us can do it. This is Prometheus's holy Fire! And we've already found the antidote. Those who were chasing you no longer need to."
"They don't want an antidote, they want to use these to create weapons. Weapons of death!" An enraged Bruce began to raise his voice, which startled Betty. She, who had been observing, suddenly trembled, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a red light on a distant building.
At this moment, the sniper crouching there had just pulled the trigger.
"Bruce, watch out!" Betty immediately lunged, pushing Bruce away, and the consequence of doing so was that she was hit. She was hit by a powerful tranquilizer.
"Hostage hit, repeat! Hostage hit!" The sniper immediately reported the situation, and General Ross, hearing this, immediately shouted, "Tactical team, rush in! Control the situation!"
This was the news Bronski most wanted to hear; he sprang into action in an instant. Charging, leaping, his movements were fluid and swift, making his speed appear astonishing. A three-story building, he broke in from the ground floor to the top in less than five seconds.
This caused him to leave almost all his teammates behind, but for him, it wasn't important at all. He didn't care whether his teammates kept up or not.
Kicking open the door to Professor Samuel's laboratory, he immediately rushed in. Then he saw Bruce holding Betty.
Filled with resentment and hope, he charged forward. He grabbed Bruce, pulling him up by his collar and lifting him into the air. He shouted at him.
"Where is he, where is he? Let him out, do you hear me? Let him out!"
Bruce looked at him coldly. Even though his heart rate monitor watch was beeping as loud as it could, he still hadn't transformed into the Hulk. Just as their experimental results showed, he wouldn't transform.
"You won't get him!"
Hearing Bruce say such words, Bronski's entire facial expression twisted. He slapped Bruce twice fiercely, but this humiliating action was useless. This made him directly pull out his pistol and aim it at Bruce's abdomen.
"Hurry up and call him out!"
Listening to his excited shouts, the Soldiers who had just caught up were in a panic; they didn't want to see any Hulk. So they started shouting to stop his madness.
"Bronski, stop! Stop!"
And just at this moment, a fierce whistling sound rang out. It was the exaggerated sound of a freezer being thrown whole. Seeing a medical freezer weighing several tons suddenly flying towards him, Bronski's face immediately changed. He quickly leaped, narrowly avoiding the freezer. The freezer then violently smashed into the storage room door, completely blocking the Soldiers outside.
Bronski dodged the flying behemoth and quickly surveyed his surroundings. As an elite Soldier, he at least needed to know what had attacked him. However, as he scanned, a green figure rushed over like a gust of wind.
She directly swung an arm at Bronski, sending him flying like a kite into a pile of bottles and jars. Immediately after, this green figure picked up Bruce and Betty from the ground, kicked through the thick wall, and leaped out through the huge opening like a green lightning bolt. A few jumps and she vanished into the darkness.
However, despite her quick movements, the sniper who had been monitoring the area still identified her. A female green giant.
"Officer, Target Two has appeared. She attacked the tactical team and escaped from the third floor towards Broadway with the target and the hostage."
"Damn it!" Hearing this news, General Ross cursed. Then he immediately instructed his other subordinates.
"All blockade personnel, pay attention to the situation. All helicopters, launch. Search the target area comprehensively for me, they won't get far."
Saying that, he left the command vehicle and walked towards the helicopter parked outside the car. This place was no longer suitable for him to oversee the situation. He had to keep up with the targets to make the right decisions at any time.
And after General Ross left by plane, the Soldiers also began their actions. At this time, the mission had become the most important thing. So no one cared about Bronski's situation. There weren't even medics; they just left Bronski there.
And that was exactly what he needed.
Suddenly breaking free from a pile of mess, Bronski, who had transcended ordinary humans, seemed to have suffered no damage. However, he was very dissatisfied, very dissatisfied with himself. Because he realized that he was no match at all.
This applied both to the Hulk and to that second target. This made him start thinking of another idea, an idea to become stronger. General Ross's super soldier serum no longer satisfied him; he needed greater power, power like the Hulk's.
And at this moment, he saw Samuel.
