Hesitating for a moment, Dr. Banner ultimately chose to get in the car.
He had traveled all the way back to the United States from South America, and then after defeating Abomination, he ran from the United States to the Middle East.
Unexpectedly, he was still followed in the chaotic Middle East.
Out of desperation, he had no choice but to run to Asia.
He was at the end of his rope, with no options left.
Moreover, after receiving an injection from Mr. Blue, coupled with the breathing techniques he learned in Brazil,
he could basically perfectly control his emotions and heartbeat.
He wouldn't easily transform.
Besides, Qin Xiao didn't look like he was affiliated with the military at all.
Qin Xiao wasn't affiliated with the military, that was true, but Dr. Banner never expected it either.
Qin Xiao, who looked to be in his early twenties and was gentle and refined, was now in just as much trouble as he was.
At least, that was the case in this desert.
"Dr. Banner, how did you end up in this desert alone, and you look... I mean, you know, this is dangerous."
The atmosphere was a little awkward as the two strangers didn't speak. Qin Xiao started making casual conversation.
"I encountered some unpleasant things. It's better if you don't know. I always bring misfortune to others."
Dr. Banner said, his eyes filled with memories.
"I think you're being too pessimistic. There's a saying, isn't there? When fate plays a trick on you, don't assume it's your fault."
"Fate..."
Dr. Banner mumbled to himself a few times, his eyes vacant, and then lowered his head, no longer speaking.
The two of them continued driving in silence through the desert...
After more than ten minutes.
To the left, right, and rear of Qin Xiao, billowing yellow sand began to rise.
From three directions, four or five fully armed off-road vehicles swiftly surrounded them, converging towards the center.
It was clear they were coming for their car.
"What's going on? Who are these people? Are they your companions?"
Dr. Banner turned around, nearly taking in the scene and asked anxiously.
"No, I don't have any companions here! Buckle up!"
Qin Xiao slammed on the accelerator, the engine of the SUV roaring as it surged forward.
Dr. Banner had considered the possibility that these people were after him, but it was clear from the situation that they weren't Americans.
Moreover, Qin Xiao's reaction clearly indicated he was running away.
"Are you sure they aren't your companions? Damn it, their cars are exactly the same as ours!"
Dr. Banner said as he fastened his seatbelt.
"Doctor, you're a scientist, you know the saying, 'look beneath the surface to see the essence of things'?"
Qin Xiao slammed the steering wheel, as several of the enemy's cars appeared on his right.
"So, let's talk about the essence. Why did so many people suddenly appear? It looks like they're here to catch us."
"This is the Middle East, Doctor, don't ask why. And they're here for me. Congratulations, you get to experience the feeling of someone else bringing misfortune upon you. Oh! Fuck!"
Qin Xiao turned the steering wheel again, because more enemies had appeared on the other side.
And the number of vehicles in front was large, with several cars blocking the only opening.
At this moment, the car's intercom transmitted English with a heavy accent.
"Stop immediately, or we will concentrate our firepower to blow you up!"
It was as if to validate his words, as soon as he spoke.
The surrounding vehicles all raised the heavy machine guns mounted on them, aiming at Qin Xiao's car.
The surrounding vehicles got closer and closer, with at least twenty or so SUVs surrounding Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao sighed, resigned, and stepped on the brakes.
"Remember to cooperate with me, Doctor!"
After stopping the car, Qin Xiao said lightly.
"Cooperate? How do I..."
Before Dr. Banner could finish speaking.
Qin Xiao raised his hands high and shouted at the terrorists around him.
"It has nothing to do with me! I don't know anything. I'm just a student traveling in the desert. It's this guy, he forced me to drive for him. I don't even know him, and I don't know what happened!"
Dr. Banner: WTF?
What happened?
Dr. Banner was a little bewildered.
The vehicles of the other side also stopped.
At least dozens of soldiers with live ammunition surrounded the two of them, and Qin Xiao said such things.
"I... It's not what he said. I don't know him, I'm the traveler, I'm just hitching a ride!!!"
Dr. Banner looked at Qin Xiao with some anger.
"He's lying. Who would choose a car with a heavy machine gun to travel in the desert? Look at me. I'm just a fresh college graduate. Then look at this guy."
The group of terrorists surrounding the vehicle looked at Qin Xiao, who looked relatively clean and neat.
Then they looked at Dr. Banner, whose clothes were tattered, clearly indicating he'd been through a battle.
Most of the gun barrels all turned towards Dr. Banner in unison.
"I…"
Banner was about to say something when a soldier stepped forward and slammed his rifle butt into his head.
"Stop talking nonsense! Get out of the car, hands up!"
Dazed and confused from the blow, Banner took a deep breath and looked up to see Qin Xiao mischievously winking at him.
More angry, are we?
But the terrorists outside didn't care about that, roughly pulling the two out of the car.
Dozens of rifles surrounded them, encircling the two.
The crowd parted, and a bearded man strolled out.
"You two killed so many of my men, and even let Tony Stark escape from my grasp?"
Tony Stark? The billionaire who was said to have been kidnapped?
Dr. Banner felt his head buzzing, who can tell me what's going on? But Qin Xiao immediately shouted out before him.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't know anything, I don't even know any Tony Stark, I'm just a recent graduate, I'm Chinese, I was forced by this person to drive for him."
"I..."
Dr. Banner started to speak, but was cut off again. The burly man immediately pulled out a large-caliber pistol and pressed it against his head.
"Shut your mouth! It's not your turn to speak yet!"
"I...sigh!"
Dr. Banner sighed with a look of grievance.
"Are you Chinese?"
The burly man turned to Qin Xiao and asked.
"Mmhmm!"
Qin Xiao nodded frantically, looking innocent and pure.
"You're saying he kidnapped you and threatened you to help him drive?"
The burly man continued to ask.
"That's right, that's it. He said I was from China, and that having me would make him safer in Pakistan!"
"You're lying, I am the..."
Dr. Banner spoke for the third time, and again, he was met with the butt of a gun.
"Shut up! I didn't ask you, you're not allowed to speak. I won't repeat myself, understand?"
The burly man leaned down, speaking roughly to Dr. Banner.
Dr. Banner was still desperately gasping for breath. For the first time in his life, he had the urge to actively release Hulk and beat this kid in front of him to death.
