With a loud clang, the iron door slowly opened.
The figure huddled in the corner of the room trembled slightly.
Slow footsteps echoed in the empty room, sounding like a death knell drilling into his mind. I tried my best to restrain my Telepathy, afraid of causing any unnecessary misunderstandings.
As the sounds drew closer, I wished I could hide my massive head entirely between my legs, leaving nothing exposed.
Hong Fei watched my timid appearance and frowned slightly, unable to tell for a moment whether it was real or fake.
At this moment, the skin of the big-headed freak, Samuel, had turned completely green, indistinguishable from the Hulk or the Abomination.
His curled-up body could not hide the forehead and cranium that were more than twice the size of his face.
Perhaps the growth of his head had sapped all his nutrients, and his hair had fallen out completely without him even realizing it.
This fit the law of "if you're bald, you're strong."
After seven days, from the early hours of this morning until noon, Samuel's head stopped growing, and upon receiving the news, Hong Fei rushed over immediately.
Standing in front of him, Hong Fei crouched down.
Samuel's body suddenly trembled. "Don't hit me anymore, I can't take it..."
Hearing this, Hong Fei's face twitched.
He sighed softly and said, "I have a few questions."
Samuel didn't even raise his head. "You... you can ask."
"Did you really develop a drug that can suppress the appearance of the Hulk?"
"Yeah."
"Are you very interested in biological research?"
"Yeah."
"Do you know why I captured you?"
"Yeah."
"Do you think I'm a bad guy?"
"Yeah."
Huh?
Samuel suddenly looked up, creating a rush of wind.
Seeing Hong Fei's half-smile with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his expression changed abruptly, and he waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no, no, wait, I didn't, I'm not... Ah!"
The sounds of beating and screaming rang out again.
Frank was sitting next door, leaning back, his face screwed up.
Compared to before, Samuel's Telepathy was now maturing. If his mental control before was like a sharp needle, now it was like hundreds or thousands of them striking together, or even transforming into a giant hammer or other forms of attacks to smash into the enemy's mind.
Hong Fei kept his energy covering himself throughout, so the consumption increased accordingly.
However, aside from his Telepathy, Samuel's combat ability was disastrous, currently remaining at the feeble level of a biological scientist. After all, he had been imprisoned by Hong Fei ever since his mutation, so he had no opportunity to use his brand-new brain to learn.
A moment later, Hong Fei regretfully stopped, staring at Samuel with a feeling of frustration.
Seeing this, Samuel assumed he hadn't vented his anger yet and took the initiative to say, "I am willing to obey your orders."
Hong Fei kept his energy covering himself throughout, so the...
"I can do anything for you. Anything at all. I just hope you won't hit me anymore..." Hong Fei sighed heavily. That wasn't what he regretted.
"Good, you said it yourself. I didn't force you. If you dare to go back on your word in the future, don't blame me for being impolite."
Samuel felt as if he had been granted amnesty, his eyes glistening with tears. "Of course, I will serve you with all my heart!"
Hong Fei stared at him for a moment, then turned and said, "Get up, come with me." At the same time, he gestured to the room next door.
Samuel stood up timidly.
After Hong Fei left the room, the door remained wide open, and he looked at the doorway, hesitant once again. "Is this still a trap? If I go out, will I get beaten up again?"
"Get out here now!" Hong Fei's scolding came. He didn't dare to think anymore, quickly stepping out to follow.
Crossing the doorway, the air outside seemed much fresher, which made his head sway involuntarily.
Hong Fei and Frank walked side-by-side in front, while he followed closely behind.
Along the way, the guards they occasionally encountered turned a blind eye to his head, as if they were already used to it.
Arriving at the monitoring room for the Abomination, as soon as they entered and saw the huge figure on the screen, Samuel couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Hong Fei turned around and waved at him, and he hurriedly stepped forward. "Come, look at your masterpiece."
Samuel smiled sheepishly, but his eyes never left the Abomination. Hong Fei's statement was correct.
Although Bronski had initially received an injection of General Ross's Super Soldier Serum, that serum was completely incomparable to the one Captain America had received back in the day; they were in entirely different leagues. What truly transformed Bronski into the Abomination was the large amount of Hulk serum that Samuel had created using Banner's blood.
"It's truly beautiful." Looking at the body of the Abomination, he couldn't help but exclaim.
Hong Fei and Frank almost got goosebumps hearing that.
Noticing their reaction, Samuel explained: "Don't misunderstand, I'm talking about his body."
What else?
"No, what I mean is, his body is completely born for battle. Look at the bone armor on his chest, the spikes on his back, and the muscles covering his entire body. This means that during the transformation process, he was only thinking about one thing: battle! He is truly born for the battlefield, a Super Soldier without a doubt!" While saying these words, there seemed to be a light in Samuel's eyes.
Hong Fei and Frank exchanged a look. "You mean, this transformation is also linked to an individual's thoughts?"
"That's right. Hulk, him, and I, we are all different. I know this must be influenced by direct and indirect mutations. But I believe an individual's thinking is also a variable. Of course, so far, this is just a hypothesis."
Hong Fei nodded slightly. If that were true, it would be similar to the Super Soldier Serum Captain America had received. It amplified personal desires during the enhancement process, making the good better and the bad worse. The appearance of the Hulk also had inextricable ties to the Super Soldier Serum.
After a moment's thought, Hong Fei said, "The Abomination can't change back now. Since you once successfully created a drug to suppress the Hulk, I'll leave the research on the Abomination to you. Currently, I only have one requirement."
Samuel turned his head to listen carefully.
"Whether you use drugs to suppress his strength or use your Telepathy to try to control him, in short, don't let him cause trouble. I need him to stay inside quietly."
Samuel was stunned. "I can try to control him?"
"Of course. Even if you want to use him to do something, that's fine too." Hong Fei raised the corner of his mouth, his gaze sweeping over his Big Head.
Samuel's head instantly felt cold. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I will definitely make him stay inside obediently."
Hong Fei laughed suddenly and reached out to pat his shoulder. "Very good. Now, let's talk about your requirements."
"I have no requirements." Samuel's Big Head shook rapidly.
Hong Fei's expression turned serious. He pressed his palm onto his big forehead, saying sternly, "From now on, you have joined my team, so we are on the same side. But you say you have no requirements; does that mean you don't consider me one of your own?"
Samuel rolled his eyes up, looked at Hong Fei's palm, and then laughed dryly. "No, no, that's certainly not what I meant. Uh, actually, I do have a few requirements. Can I have a computer? Or some paper books would also be fine.
I want to learn."
"Just that?"
"Yes, just that. I feel my brain is too empty, and I urgently need knowledge to fill it up, otherwise I feel terrible."
Well, feeling terrible if you don't study for a day? Hong Fei grinned. "Sure, of course, no problem. I will prepare a computer for you. By the way, you can make a list; if your research needs any equipment, you can tell me."
Finally, Hong Fei patted his big forehead. "Come on, you are very smart, I think highly of you."
Samuel could only smile apologetically. Turning around, Hong Fei said to Frank, "From now on, he is one of us."
"Introduce him to the situation here."
Frank nodded. When a smile bloomed, the flesh on his face bunched together, giving him a bandit-like aura.
Samuel watched Hong Fei's back in a cold sweat. As he lowered his head, the look in his eyes was unreadable.
Introduce him to the situation here." Frank nodded. When a s...
