Meanwhile,
At a military base in the United States,
General Ross, who had returned to the United States, was having a serious conversation with Blonsky.
"General, I've taken part in military operations before, and because of information concealed by higher-ups, I've lost some good comrades too!"
"But I had to obey orders, because this is our profession, this is our mission..."
"But this time... it was just too bizarre!"
The two stopped walking through the base.
Blonsky fixed Ross with an intense gaze.
"That monster is too terrifying. I can't just stand by and do nothing!"
"So, General!"
"The next time there's an arrest operation, you have to bring me along. And I suggest choosing soldiers who can actually fight a hard battle next time!"
"Because ordinary soldiers will piss themselves in fear the moment they see that monster!"
Ross looked into Blonsky's eyes, filled with fighting spirit and ambition. After a moment of contemplation, he said quietly, "Come with me!"
The armory.
Ross led Blonsky to an unoccupied area.
He warned Blonsky, "Remember, what I'm about to say is extremely sensitive to both me and the military!"
Without waiting for Blonsky's reply,
General Ross began speaking on his own. "You should have heard that we launched a weapons development program.
During World War II, there was also a subproject called the Biological Enhancement Program."
"Super soldiers?" Blonsky asked.
"Yes, but that's just a broad term.
I restarted the program, and Banner was an early researcher in the project, conducting radiation-related research. He wasn't responsible for the weapons development side!
At the time, a major accident occurred, causing abnormalities in Banner's body. But that also meant we had succeeded."
Ross's eyes gleamed with a soldier's particular coldness and ambition. "As far as I'm concerned, Banner's body is a precious asset of the United States military."
Emil Blonsky suddenly interrupted, "Wait, you said weapons development? So you've already..."
"That's right. We've developed a Super-Soldier Serum!"
At that, Blonsky's eyes lit up.
"General, I think I could give it a try..."
Ross looked at Blonsky across from him and sensed ambition in his eyes.
Inside the injection room.
General Ross stood with his arms folded, leaning against a nearby window as he watched the naked Blonsky walk out.
"We'll inject you with a small dose. I need you to remain rational and obey orders. And if any side effects occur..."
"The program will be halted, and you'll need to wait until you recover before returning to duty!"
"Do you... agree?"
Blonsky looked at the injection chair before him.
Then he looked at the injector standing nearby, syringe at the ready.
Without hesitation, he said, "No problem, General!"
Blonsky took three steps in two.
He quickly reached the injection chair and threw himself backward onto it!
Snap!
The cold surgical lamp above Blonsky's head cast down a blinding beam of white light.
After the staff performed a series of procedures,
his body was soon completely secured to the injection chair.
"Then I'll begin!"
"The serum will make you feel feverish and uncomfortable. That's a normal reaction."
Wearing white gloves, the doctor took a fluorescent green liquid from a box beside him and installed it in the injection device. "We'll administer two injections. The second will be into the spinal cord, and it will be very painful. If you can't endure the pain, we'll stop immediately."
Blonsky's face was resolute. "Bring it on!"
Let me see just how powerful this Super-Soldier Serum is!
Banner, I may have lost once!
But next time, we'll settle things properly!
As the metal restraints on the injection chair locked with a click,
the Super-Soldier Serum injection experiment
officially began.
"Prepare to begin the first-stage injection." The medical staff announced as they started the procedure.
The first syringe slowly approached Blonsky's neck.
Pfft!
The instant the syringe's long needle pierced the skin of Blonsky's neck,
the pain made his brow furrow slightly.
But he did not make a sound.
Not bad.
He could still endure it.
As the dark green liquid was steadily pushed into his veins,
Blonsky's breathing gradually grew heavier.
A moment later, the first stage ended.
There was no pause.
"Continue with the second stage. Prepare for spinal cord injection." The chief doctor's cold voice rang out again.
Upon hearing this,
two medical assistants turned Blonsky's body around one hundred and eighty degrees, clearly exposing his spine.
The chief doctor held a syringe even longer and thinner than the first, aiming at the gap in his spinal cord.
Then he abruptly drove in the needle.
As the needle entered his spinal cord, excruciating pain battered Blonsky's entire body like unending waves.
"Ah—ah—" Unable to bear the pain, he let out low groans.
Blonsky clenched his hands into fists. His knuckles gradually turned white from the force, and the veins on the backs of his hands began to bulge like mountain ranges.
Pain!
Agonizing pain!
It fucking hurt!
Blonsky's body shook violently, stretching the metal restraints to their limits until they emitted groans of strain.
Suddenly, a green light flashed through his pupils before they returned to normal.
After ten whole minutes of agonizing torment,
Blonsky's breathing finally began to steady.
The lines of his muscles were more pronounced and solid than before the serum injection.
Beneath his skin,
some kind of energy seemed to be slowly flowing along with his blood.
Virginia, Culver University.
After a night of eating, drinking, and having fun,
Yu Xian and the others followed Banner to his former workplace, Culver University, the next day.
"Dr. Banner, you must miss this place now, don't you?" Yu Xian suddenly asked as he looked at Banner's complicated expression.
"Yes. It's been nearly five years, yet nothing here has changed!"
"It's still so peaceful and tranquil!"
Banner looked at the familiar surroundings, and memories came flooding back from the depths of his mind.
I wonder if she's doing well!
Forget it. Given my current situation, it's better not to see her!
"Let's go. I need to enter the laboratory where I used to work and check some information related to gamma rays."
Outside the laboratory building.
Banner looked at the newly installed electronic access control system at the entrance, as well as the stern-faced security guard in uniform beside it. His face immediately filled with conflict.
He remembered clearly that five years ago, none of this had existed. Teachers and students could come and go freely.
He hadn't expected that after all these years,
the school's security measures would finally be in place.
There hadn't been anything like this before. You could just walk right in!
What... what should he do?
Banner frowned and sank into deep thought...
