Kraft's Secret Base

The disaster caused by human hands ultimately ended with Hulk's victory. After defeating the monster transformed from Blonsky, named Abomination, he once again broke through the military's encirclement and escaped.

General Ross, who was in charge of this plan, not only failed to capture Hulk but also had his daughter run away. On top of that, he had to face a mountain of accusations and compensation. The fate of Blonsky, whether alive or dead, might be a small consolation, but it was like a drop in the bucket compared to the series of reprimands he was about to face.

However, the subsequent developments surprised Kraft. General Ross was merely suspended from all activities related to Hulk and handed over some of his vested interests. He faced no repercussions, no demotion, no military tribunal, and not even a public apology.

It could only be said that America was indeed America.

But none of these matters concerned Kraft. He was currently struggling with his next course of action.

Previously, Hulk's appearance had only given him a slight sense of urgency. While the power Hulk displayed was terrifying, the US military was not entirely incapable of dealing with him. Kraft had also assumed they intended to capture Hulk alive, which was why he had the opportunity to keep escaping.

However, the appearance of Abomination and Hulk displaying even greater power finally made Kraft start to worry.

In reality, no matter how strong Hulk was, it wasn't a major issue because Doctor Banner's will was there to restrain him from causing widespread destruction. While dangerous, it wasn't a problem that absolutely had to be faced.

But besides Hulk, there was a whole group of madmen conducting similar human experiments. Who knew when a monster even more destructive and uncontrollable than Hulk might appear.

Kraft genuinely worried that one day, this world would be ruined by those reckless fools.

His previous plan was to slowly develop the Dream Toy Company, spend a few years building himself into a genius similar to Tony Stark, and gradually expand the Dream Company's business scope. After quietly establishing his own arsenal, he would then start manufacturing the powerful war machines from his dreams.

After all, he was still young and didn't need to rush.

But now, it seemed the Earth couldn't withstand the antics of those madmen. It was possible the Earth would be ruined before Kraft could even develop.

Having witnessed zombie apocalypses in his dreams, Kraft didn't believe he was worrying unnecessarily.

Therefore, he felt he should accelerate his research progress. However, doing so would very likely expose his unique nature. As a person of color, he didn't believe he would receive any special treatment in America. And with the current influence of the Dream Toy Company and Martin Lee, they probably couldn't withstand the pressure from the authorities.

The few solutions Kraft could think of now all had their flaws.

One was to shift the development direction of most of the Dream Company and Martin's industries towards aviation, and then establish branch bases off-world. But doing so would also attract official attention, and the actions would be too abrupt, easily arousing suspicion.

Building bases underwater or underground was an idea Kraft had considered for his slow development plan. If he wanted to accelerate construction, such a large undertaking would definitely attract attention.

Or, as he had often considered before, returning to his home country and cooperating with the authorities. But Martin seemed very resistant, and based on the information Kraft had found, similar experiments were also being conducted domestically. Moreover, cooperating with the authorities would undoubtedly reduce his freedom. So, unless he was driven to desperation, Kraft didn't want to choose this path.

After agonizing for a long time, Kraft returned home with a worried expression and told his adoptive father his thoughts, hoping he could provide a solution.

After hearing Kraft's ideas, Martin Lee began to stare at him with a peculiar gaze.

Kraft felt uneasy under his stare, shifting his body and asking in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Although I don't know where this inexplicable sense of crisis of yours comes from..." Martin Lee's tone was somewhat strange, as if he was suppressing a laugh, "but Kraft, you seem to have forgotten that you have a light gun that can freely enlarge and shrink objects?"

!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

Damn it! He forgot about that!

Kraft smacked his forehead in annoyance. With a flashlight that could change size at will, what was he still agonizing about? He could completely shrink his arsenal and manufacture it in his room. After manufacturing, if he wanted to use it, he could simply enlarge it!

Even if he dreamed of the technology for universal capsules in the future, he wouldn't even need the enlargement light!

It must be that he had been cramming too much information into his head lately, making his thinking sluggish.

Knowing he had acted foolishly, Kraft awkwardly rubbed his head, too embarrassed to face Martin Lee's half-smiling gaze any longer. He made up an excuse and slipped back into his room.

"I still have some homework to finish, so I'm going back to my room to do it!"

Quinn tilted his head, stuck out his tongue, and chased after Kraft, circling his feet and asking, "Big brother, didn't you already give your homework to Haro to handle a long time ago?"

Martin Lee, who had a slight smile as he watched Kraft flee in disarray, changed his expression: "Kraft!!!"

"Stupid dog, meow~"

Bea flicked her tail and rolled over in Alice's arms, exposing her belly for Alice to continue massaging her.

Having found a solution and feeling a sense of urgency, Kraft had Martin request a long leave of absence from school for him. Martin Lee was initially unwilling to agree, but he couldn't resist Kraft's persistent pestering. Moreover, with the learning helmet, Kraft's grades had consistently ranked first in his grade, so he eventually agreed.

Kraft cleared a large open space in his workshop to place the arsenal he was about to build.

At first, he had considered building a basement or something similar. But then he thought, with Angela providing protection, there was no need to waste that time. Besides, keeping the shrunken factories in plain sight and disguising them as models wouldn't arouse suspicion from any lunatic who would think those "models" were real arsenals.

As for the blueprints for the arsenal, Kraft didn't replicate any from his dreams. Instead, he redesigned them himself based on his knowledge and personal needs. To allow Angela and Haro to help with the construction, he specifically removed any equipment with unique features of the dream world and replaced them with equipment with similar functions from this world.

After completing the blueprints, Kraft didn't rush to start. Instead, he built a few more construction robots called SCVs. This was also from Swann's world, although the protagonist of the dream at that time was not him.

By handing over the control of the shrunken SCVs to Angela and Haro, Kraft didn't need to personally operate them. He just watched from the side as they controlled a group of small SCV robots to build a "model" of the arsenal on the cleared space.

It felt like playing a holographic simulation strategy game.

Today, I was pulled into the author group by the editor... over a thousand people, and only a few were chatting... I glanced at the group list, and there didn't seem to be any familiar book titles or authors. (゜-゜)

There were fewer random comments today, so I'll just ask for recommendations and favorites
