In the wilderness,
Hulk landed in the mud with a boom.
He was breathing heavily.
The anesthetic injected by General Ross wasn't entirely useless.
It was just temporarily suppressed by him.
Even though he had transformed into the Hulk, the anesthetic couldn't be completely expelled.
As his anger gradually disappeared,
The effect of the anesthetic gradually surged.
Hulk shook his head violently, trying to make himself more alert.
But it was clear that doing so didn't have much effect.
Betty Ross carefully caressed the Hulk.
She knew that the Hulk wouldn't hurt her.
Although she didn't know what was wrong with the Hulk, she wanted to comfort him and make him feel better.
But she didn't know that it was her comfort
That made the Hulk unable to hold on any longer.
Soon,
With a thud.
The Hulk fell to the ground, fell unconscious, and then slowly transformed back into Bruce Banner, who was only wearing a pair of large shorts.
Seeing that Bruce Banner had recovered,
Betty Ross quickly went over to check his physical condition.
After confirming that he was fine, Betty Ross breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.
She didn't know where this was.
But she knew they couldn't stay here forever.
Because her father would definitely come looking for them.
But where could they go?
They had no transportation, and Bruce was still unconscious.
The current situation made her feel a bit desperate.
Just then.
A car sped over.
Just as she was debating whether to ask the other party for a ride,
The car had already stopped in front of them.
"Hi, Dr. Bruce Banner looks terrible. My home is not far away. Would you like to come over and sit for a while?"
Hearing Bruce's identity revealed,
Betty Ross instantly became nervous.
Nolan smiled:
"Dr. Banner and I have met before. In fact, he has also been to my house.
And...
You should have no other choice."
Betty Ross looked at the surrounding situation and finally nodded helplessly.
"You're right, I have no other choice. I hope you are truly Bruce's friend."
"Of course!"
Nolan replied without hesitation.
Before coming, he thought he would see the Hulk. Now that the Hulk was gone, it was a good outcome for him.
At least, he didn't have to worry about fighting first.
Returning to the Villa,
Betty Ross was stunned.
This Villa was too large.
"Red Queen, pour this lady a cup of tea.
I think she needs to calm her nervous mood."
Just as Betty Ross was wondering where the voice came from,
Red Queen's virtual projection appeared.
"Okay, Mr."
Then she saw the automatic water dispenser start working.
Betty Ross had never drunk tea.
But that didn't prevent her from knowing about it.
Nolan also made himself a cup of tea.
"Tea has a calming effect. Some people are not used to this taste, but you can try it first."
Saying that, Nolan took a sip himself.
In fact, he usually drank more coffee, the kind with sugar.
But tea was essential for him.
"You can feel completely safe here.
No one will come to search."
"May I ask who you are..."
Only then did Betty Ross have the mind to ask his name.
"Nolan, Nolan Locke."
Nolan replied with a smile.
Hearing this name,
Betty Ross showed a look of surprise.
"You are Hero Nolan!"
She might not know Nolan Locke, or even Locke Technology.
But she definitely knew the title Hero Nolan.
After knowing Nolan's identity,
Betty Ross relaxed slightly.
If Nolan wanted to deal with them, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
While the two were chatting,
Bruce Banner woke up from his coma.
As soon as he woke up, he saw his surroundings.
This was a warm and luxurious room.
Beneath him was a comfortable large bed.
Everything looked so perfect.
But the more perfect it was, the more he wondered where he was.
Walking out of the room, he heard voices.
"After Dr. Banner wakes up, you can leave on your own. If you need my help, that's also fine.
But in my opinion, you actually don't need to run away."
Bruce Banner followed the sound.
Nolan heard the movement upstairs and looked back.
"Dr. Banner, it seems you've recovered well."
When Bruce Banner saw Nolan, the vigilance in his eyes completely disappeared.
Although they hadn't met many times, Nolan had helped him more than once.
"Dr. Locke, thank you for saving me again."
Saying that, Bruce Banner gave a wry smile:
"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to have such powerful strength."
He was, of course, talking about the battle in Harlem.
You know, even he had a tough fight with Abomination.
But when Nolan Locke made a move,
He defeated Abomination in a short amount of time.
Thinking about it this way, if Nolan had attacked him himself at that time,
He would probably be dead.
As for being dissatisfied because Nolan didn't let him escape,
He wasn't a child.
So he knew that Nolan had to do that.
This was not a multiple-choice question at all.

Nolan smiled and didn't explain.
Instead, he said:
"Dr. Banner, do you remember my previous invitation?"
Bruce Banner gave a wry smile.
"As I am now, I probably have no place to stay in this area."
"That's not necessarily true."
Nolan chuckled and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, your wanted warrant should be canceled soon."
Nolan was calculating the time. According to the time, it wouldn't be long before Nick Fury would ask him to join the Avengers.
Just as Nick Fury used the future city plan as a reason to ask Tony Stark to join the Avengers,
Would there be any other reason for him to invite Bruce Banner, besides removing the Military's pursuit order against him?
Obviously not.
However, Nolan really had no way in this regard.
He didn't have that much official power yet.
Only special organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D., which are directly subordinate to the Council, could do it.
However, his joining the Avengers and joining his own company were not in conflict.
"Oh?"
Bruce Banner was a little confused.
He thought for a moment, and then said:
"If I don't have a wanted warrant, I will definitely join Locke Technology."
Getting Bruce Banner's promise,
Nolan's mouth curved up.
"Today is a good day."
Bruce Banner didn't stay at Nolan's place for too long.
After all, the wanted warrant still existed.
Under Nolan's arrangement, the two quickly left the mainland.
The next time they met,
It would probably be a long time from now...
Returning to the company,
Nolan went to the bottom floor of the Hive.
Ivan Vanko had already been waiting here.
His heart was filled with anxiety.
Because after today, he would be a completely new person.
Saying goodbye to everything in the past.
If he didn't achieve anything, perhaps no one would ever associate him with Ivan Vanko for the rest of his life.
The moment he saw Nolan appear,
Ivan Vanko straightened his body.
Nolan said:
"Are you ready?"
Ivan Vanko nodded solemnly.
"In that case, lie down." Nolan said.
After Ivan Vanko lay down,
Nolan turned on various instruments.
"Red Queen, check the relevant data."
"Ivan Vanko, confirm the characteristics after the facial modification. If there are no problems, you will say goodbye to the past starting from today."
A few minutes later.
Nolan was wearing a white coat and leather gloves.
Ivan Vanko was sound asleep.
"Experiment, begin!"
The next second, a large number of instruments automatically operated, and Red Queen continuously reported relevant data.
Today, Nolan would perform a nanomechanical transformation on Ivan Vanko.
Using nanites to replace part of his body tissue.
This would not only change his physical characteristics but also give him some extraordinary abilities.
Of course, from the moment Ivan Vanko accepted all of this,
It was already destined that he would be controlled by Nolan.
Nolan, who held the key, was Ivan Vanko's absolute nemesis!
Soon.
Nanites were injected.
Ivan Vanko's body twitched violently.
His heart rate accelerated rapidly.
It seemed that his body was having a rejection reaction.
However, Nolan was well prepared.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Finally, two hours later,
Nolan stopped moving, a smile on his face.
"Red Queen, how is the data?"
"Collection is complete, and record optimization is in progress."
"In that case, wake up our new employee."
A few minutes later.
Ivan Vanko slowly woke up.
"How do you feel?" Nolan's voice sounded.
Ivan Vanko looked at his hands, feeling a little strange.
Because he felt that his vision seemed to have improved significantly.
"Very good." He said.
"Then we can do some other tests next."
"Other tests?"
Ivan Vanko was a little confused.
"Yes, you don't think these nanites just changed your appearance, do you?"
Thinking of the change in his vision, Ivan Vanko's heart stirred.
"Could it be..."
He felt his body.
Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed a steel plate.
Immediately, a clear scratch appeared.
Strength.
This was great strength!
In an instant, Ivan Vanko was extremely shocked.
While everyone else was focusing on researching battle suits, who would have thought that his new Boss had already developed nanotechnology to this extent!
Seeing Ivan Vanko's reaction,
Nolan also smiled.
"It looks like you're adapting well."
It must be said that compared to the Super Soldier Serum, which was obtained with great effort,
This nanotechnology was indeed more effective and simpler.
It made him even have the urge to undergo the transformation himself.
However, he quickly suppressed this thought.
If he became non-human, what would happen to his goal of the stars and sea?
After dealing with Ivan Vanko's matter,
Nolan returned to the above-ground office of the Hive.
Spending all his time in the lab made him feel that the air here smelled very fresh when he occasionally came up.
To be honest, I've been using Wild Fruit Reading to read and follow updates recently, switching sources, with many reading voices, available on both Android and Apple.
Suddenly, the computer in front of him experienced a momentary disturbance.
Nolan let out a light exclamation.
"Red Queen, what happened?"
"Detected external intrusion, processing complete." Red Queen replied.
"Intrusion?"
Nolan was a little surprised.
Besides Jarvis, could anyone else do this?
And at this moment, in a coffee shop,
A girl of sixteen or seventeen pulled out the USB drive from her laptop.
A look of excitement appeared on her face.
Then she quickly left.
