Background

A group of soldiers appeared out of nowhere, firing White Noise Wave Cannon in turn, their energy beams constantly striking the Hulk. Two combat helicopters hovered in the air, their doors wide open, and several soldiers continued to fire at the Hulk to prevent him from escaping the encirclement with his incredible jumping ability.

The continuous high-frequency vibrations caused the air around Hulk to liquefy into water droplets, enveloping the Hulk in a layer of mist. That thin layer of mist felt incredibly heavy, blocking him no matter which direction he charged in.

Judging from the current situation, the situation is in their favor.

Even a master can be defeated by a flurry of punches. A 75-kilogram adult can be overwhelmed by a group of 13 or 14-year-old kids. For example, a writer who was punched in the lower back by a neighbor's kid and was in so much pain that he couldn't recover for a long time could only lie on the bed and type on his phone.

"Hold on, hold on!" Seeing Hulk pinned down and beaten, Franski told the driver to turn around, preparing to join the fight himself.

The flame of war within him burned ever brighter. Injected with the Super Soldier Serum, he was brimming with confidence and had the delusion that he was now capable of fighting the Hulk to the death.

But humans are not machines; they are affected by physical limitations and pain. Even machines make mistakes and require program calibration and regular maintenance and testing. Humans are much more vulnerable.

An unscrupulous designer left many flaws in the White Noise Wave Cannon from the very beginning, in order to prevent this weapon from being used against him one day. Although it wouldn't hurt him, it would still be troublesome.

These shortcomings include battery life, aiming lock-on mechanism, and recoil that could be completely eliminated.

Although the White Noise Wave Cannon is very easy to operate—simply aim and pull the trigger—these factors combined actually make its use quite limited.

After firing a series of shots, a soldier's shoulder was throbbing painfully from the recoil. He could tell without even looking that the area was already swollen and would probably turn into a bruise soon. The pain made his arm tremble, and he slowed down his trigger pull for a moment.

Although it was only for a moment, over time it created a loophole in the seamless alternating fire, a very inconspicuous loophole.

Like the Western fable of a thousand-mile dike being destroyed by an ant hole, for want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe, the horse was lost; for want of a horse, the battle was lost; for want of a battle, the kingdom was lost.

Hulk was crouching in place with his head in his hands, noticed this loophole. Due to extreme anger, his eyes were already bloodshot, and now those eyes were sizing up the soldier through the gap left by his crossed arms.

The Hulk's power comes from anger. Being suppressed and beaten, he constantly accumulates anger, and his power continues to rise. If it were anyone else, it would be one thing, but even extreme anger would only result in a burst of fury and eyes that are about to burst. But the Hulk's anger has no limits.

"Roar..." The Hulk roared, abandoning his defense, bending his legs, and charging towards the soldier.

The soldiers who were surrounding them were already terrified. They were only able to stand there because of their advanced high-tech weapons and long-term training. When they saw Hulk charging towards them, several of them were so scared that they forgot to pull the trigger.

"What are you still standing there for? Keep firing!" Franski, who had rushed over, shouted at the soldiers, firing beams of energy from his White Noise Wave Cannon at Hulk.

Because of the recoil, the other soldiers could only fire in bursts, and with the time it took for the device to recharge, the rate of fire of the White Noise Wave Cannon in their hands was about the same as that of bolt-action rifles from World War II. However, Franski, who was enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, was not afraid of this recoil at all. The rate of fire of the White Noise Wave Cannon in his hands was about the same as that of modern assault rifles, and he held one in each hand.

Just as Hulk was about to break through the encirclement, he was pushed back by the continuous gunfire. He rolled backward a few times, smashing the water pipes connected to the automatic sprinklers on the lawn. The high-density, high-frequency sound waves that followed instantly dispersed the water into the finest droplets, significantly increasing the humidity in the air.

"Quickly! Expand the rubber!"

Several soldiers who arrived in armored vehicles ran outside the encirclement with grenade launchers and fired all their grenades in one go.

The grenades exploded above Hulk's head, who was pinned to the ground. There were no lethal shrapnel or shockwaves; only some dry powder drifted down, soaking Hulk.

Immediately afterward, the dry powder began to rapidly absorb moisture from the air, causing its size to expand rapidly. Hulk's entire body was enveloped in a layer of viscous substance. After absorbing the moisture, this viscous substance absorbed a large amount of air, causing its size to expand further. Hulk struggled desperately, but he could not stop himself from being submerged and encased by this expanding rubber.

The high-frequency vibrations from the continuous firing of White Noise Wave Cannon alter the physical structure of these materials, much like the vibration during concrete pouring, making the aggregate distribution in the concrete more uniform and strengthening the material itself.

"Stop, Dad! Please make them stop! I beg you!"

An untimely woman's voice rang out. Betty Thaddeus Ross, who had woken up at some point, learned what had happened from the students and ran over in her high heels.

In her mind, the person who had the biggest grudge against Bruce Banner was her father, General Ross, and he was definitely leading the operation, so she shouted even before she could see the people clearly from afar.

But when Betty Thaddeus Ross took in the people around her, she didn't see her father's stern and iron-willed face. Although she was still worried about her ex-boyfriend, she gave up.

She dared to plead for Bruce Banner in front of General Ross because he was her father. Although he didn't show it on the surface, he still loved his daughter very much. Relying on this love, she was able to defy the army.

But now the commander of this group of soldiers is a very ordinary-looking middle-aged man (Franski), who will not recognize her as the daughter of a general.

However, upon seeing Betty Thaddeus Ross, several soldiers actually lowered the muzzle of their White Noise Wave Cannon —she didn't recognize them, but they did.

As a tough soldier, General Ross also hoped that his only daughter would find a soldier as a partner, and a group of soldiers under his command immediately felt that their opportunity had come.

After all, having a general father-in-law as a backer ensures a smooth career path, if not meteoric. Just look at a certain former bodybuilding Champion movie star; he married the daughter of the former US president's sister and relied on her family's political influence and his own popularity built through his film and television image to become governor.
