Severe Injuries
What are you doing?!
Franski noticed the situation caused by Betty's appearance. As someone on loan to General Ross, he was new to the job and didn't know any general's daughter. He stormed over in a huff.
First, he shoved Betty aside, then turned the soldier who had stopped firing to face him, and roared angrily, "We're fighting right now, and you've forgotten you're on a battlefield because of a woman! You're asking for death, you know that?!"
Franski was an ordinary-looking man of average build, shorter than the soldier, but at this moment he resembled an enraged lion, and no one dared to look directly into his fierce eyes.
"Sir, I understand!" The soldier straightened his back and replied loudly, just like a recruit facing his drill instructor, "This woman's name is Betty Thaddeus Ross, and she's General Ross's..."
Before the soldier could reveal Betty's identity, a ferocious roar came from not far away—it was Hulk's voice.
The expanding rubber is very strong. Hulk, who is stuck and wrapped up, cannot move. He struggles desperately but can only deform the expanding rubber and cannot get it off his body. There is also high-frequency vibration outside that keeps stirring the inside of the expanding rubber into a mess and exerting force in different directions.
The Hulk was essentially falling into a river of highly dense liquid. The river was turbulent with hidden currents and whirlpools one after another. The Hulk tried desperately to pound the water and use the reaction force to escape the situation, but instead he was caught in the whirlpools. At this point, no matter how strong he was, he could only drift with the current until he was exhausted and drowned.
But this is the Marvel World, a world that outwardly talks about science but is actually very idealistic. For example, the birth of the Hulk was given a scientific name, but neither the law of conservation of energy nor the law of conservation of matter were followed.
Betty's voice was so faint by the time it reached Hulk's ears through the expanding rubber that it was barely audible. But that cry for Bruce Banner's life awakened a sliver of consciousness within him. Bruce Banner's consciousness, which had been suppressed by Hulk, and Hulk's consciousness born from extreme rage, saw a glimmer of reason belonging to Banner emerge.
The next second, a huge green fist pierced through the expanding rubber and tore the mass of matter in half.
"Hulk!"
With a roar, the Hulk celebrated his newfound freedom. Trapped in the expanding rubber, he had amassed enough power, and the best way to unleash this rage was through destruction.
As for the target of the destruction... it was undoubtedly Franski —that audacious guy actually pushed Betty to the ground!
At this moment, a part of Hulk Banner's consciousness exists within Bruce, but Hulk remains the dominant being. Hulk is a very simple being, with only anger as his primary emotion. Hulk's understanding of Dr. Banner's concern for Betty is simply to beat up whoever hurts Betty.
After being enhanced by the Super-Soldier Serum, Franski's strength increased dramatically. He used the force he usually used to push people away on Betty, but in reality, Betty was pushed several meters away and then fell to the ground.
It was an unintentional mistake, but Hulk didn't care and angrily charged at Franski. Franski responded to Hulk with a smile. The belligerent man had been waiting for an opportunity to defeat Hulk. If it weren't for the mission, he would have already taken him on by himself. Now that the opportunity had presented itself, how could he let it slip by? He took off running towards his opponent as well.
With a loud bang, Franski was sent flying backward, crashing into the cargo compartment of a multi-purpose vehicle and coming to a stop. Luckily, he had been injected with Super Soldier Serum beforehand to enhance his abilities; anyone else would have been shattered by now.
Reality isn't a PG-13 movie. Enemies who suffer a heavy blow will die or faint, but there will absolutely be no scenes of severed limbs or profuse bleeding. They will actually shatter.
Even so, Franski wasn't in much better shape. Half of his bones were shattered (a bone broken into three or more pieces is considered a comminuted fracture, not literally shattered into pieces), and his internal organs suffered varying degrees of damage. He was definitely in critical condition.
Then Hulk leaped high into the air, instantly jumping dozens of meters high, grabbing the armed helicopter that had been circling overhead. The powerful force caused the helicopter to lose its balance, and after being swung around in the air by Hulk, it crashed into another helicopter.
From the Hulk tore open the expanding rubber to the moment he threw the armed helicopter like a projectile, only a few seconds passed. The pilot on the other helicopter didn't even have time to react before the two helicopters collided in mid-air, turning into a fireball and falling to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers on the ground scattered and fled early on. It was already a testament to their courage that they had managed to fight the Hulk and hold out until now.
Destroying two helicopters in one fell swoop was not enough for Hulk. The brief upward momentum he gained from his powerful jumping ability had been exhausted, and he inevitably fell to the ground, smashing a large crater in the grass. Then he aimed at another helicopter that was preparing to escape, bending his legs slightly to prepare to exert force.
"Enough, Bruce, that's enough, stop!"
Betty Thaddeus Ross shouted again, but this time she was pleading with the soldiers instead—she was just an ordinary person who couldn't bear to see innocent people lose their lives in front of her.
Coincidentally, despite all that had happened, Ms. Betty's handbag was still on her shoulder; it was the handbag that protected her face when she fell, preventing her from being disfigured.
Perhaps it's an innate attraction to beautiful older women, but after yelling a few times, Hulk actually let go of the fleeing soldiers and the departing helicopter. Then he grabbed the exclaiming Betty Thaddeus Ross in his arms, bounced around a few times, and temporarily disappeared from the story.
On the multi-purpose vehicle that was hit by Franski, a soldier shakily opened the door and got out. Terrified, he wanted to shout to celebrate his survival, but a low voice caught his attention.
Under the influence of the Super Soldier Serum, Franski's wounds began to slowly heal. Severely injured, he could only speak, but the sounds that came out were just soft hums. However, these unintelligible sounds reminded the soldier of something.
The soldier noticed the situation but didn't move Franski without permission, as there was a high chance of causing him further injury. A person who could have been saved might have died even faster if moved.
He immediately returned to the car, enduring the stench of his own urine on the seat, and roared into the car communicator, "Mission failed! Mission failed! We need backup! We need backup! Major Franski needs treatment; he's seriously injured and needs urgent medical attention!"
