Chapter 163: When you meet Hulk, crouch down with your head in your hands
General Ross originally thought that he would use heavy firepower in the urban area after taking down Hulk in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Hulk learned a lot this time and actually learned to escape. This was not good news for him.
Ross could only hypnotize himself. This time it was just a coincidence. Hulk was a brainless monster. He had to be like this. Otherwise, if Hulk, who could not break through armor-piercing bullets, only wanted to escape, the military would have no way to stop him and arrest him. Hulk is a fantasy.
As the army was being organized to withdraw from the city, a soldier came to Ross: "Lieutenant General, someone wants to see you."
Rose's heart sank. He could probably guess who they were who would come to him at this time. When he saw Hill slowly walking towards him, Rose couldn't even maintain the most basic expression control. .
The one who came was the most difficult one.
No military personnel will like agents, because they have too many shady interests. The above-board investigation team "accidentally crashed" three times. After that, the military discovered that many unknown persons had infiltrated into the army, and the military was aware of it. , but they can only suffer a dumb loss, because the military cannot conduct self-examination, and they cannot even trust their own people.
The scope of powers and responsibilities of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military overlap, and the two sides have fought openly and secretly in the past. When S.H.I.E.L.D. came to visit Ross when he lost, it was definitely not to comfort him.
"Lieutenant General Ross, I am here to inform you..."
Ross stopped Hill and asked, knowingly: "Wait, which department are you from?"
"Strategic Homeland Security and Logistics Support Agency, Lieutenant General."
Rose's rude interruption had no effect on Hill. She was not the kind of woman who would be intimidated by loud voices. In terms of toughness, she was no worse than Fury.
"Your name is too long, I can't remember it." Ross said with a dark face.
Hill was not a vegetarian either. She responded: "Then you may not hear this a few times. Lieutenant General Ross, your behavior of bringing troops into the city has caused great harassment to the citizens. The committee is very dissatisfied."
< br>
"So what."
Since he chose to be tough at the beginning, Ross couldn't be soft now. He began to talk about the benefits of catching Hulk: "Why do you think they allowed me to fail? The destructive power of Hulk is unparalleled. As long as we catch Hulk, By extracting the super serum, America will have an invincible army!”
Hill was not polite to him: "It's better to wait until you go back to paint the cake for your boss. This is the last time someone will help you clean up the mess."
If Ross fails to capture the Hulk next time, all losses and responsibilities caused by the capture operation will be attributed to Ross alone. It is impossible for a lieutenant general to bear this responsibility, and Ross will only be dismissed.
Ross watched Hill leave with gritted teeth. He grabbed the collar of the soldier beside him and said, "Send someone to look for me quickly. The Hulk must be found!"
Hearing Rose's roar behind him, Hill's lips curled up slightly, wanting to find Hulk? It's impossible.
Hill drove his car and drove to a certain clothing store while patrolling. He happened to bump into Qin Su leading Banner out of the store.
"This dress suits you very well, Dr. Banner." Qin Su held the camera and kept pressing the shutter.
"Really?"
Banner looked at the Chinese on his chest in confusion. He had learned a little Chinese and read out word for word: "Of course you choose to forgive her?"
The word "forgive" is still green.
Qin Su gave him a thumbs up: "Chinese is good."
Because American green does not have that meaning, although Banner could read the word, he could not understand its true meaning. He only looked at the word "forgive". He thought that Qin Su was trying to persuade him to be more generous and not to hurt Hulk when he was angry. Let it out.
"I'll pay attention." Banner quite liked Qin Su who bought him clothes.
The two took two steps forward. Hill lowered the window and asked Qin Su with a cold face: "Agent Qin Su, why didn't you stay at the scheduled rendezvous point?"
Qin Su looked around with a strange look in his eyes: "Are you sure you want to talk about this on the street?"
"As long as Banner doesn't turn into the Hulk, no one will pay attention to us." Having said that, Hill opened the car door. Of course she would not admit that she had just punched Ross in the face and was a little carried away.
"Well, since you said so." Qin Su explained the whole story.
"It's too conspicuous to carry a naked man around, and I'm afraid it will irritate Dr. Banner. If he transforms into the Hulk, and I don't know how much noise he will make, I might as well prepare a suit of clothes for him first."
"Let's get in the car with some convincing."
Taking Banner into the car, Qin Su sat in the back seat with Banner instead of the passenger seat. This surprised Banner. After knowing that he would turn into the Hulk at any time, except for Banner's girlfriend, No one would take the initiative to approach him for fear of being torn apart by the Hulk's hands.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Banner couldn't help asking.
Qin Su, who had just finished tearing Hulk apart, was stunned and patted Banner on the shoulder: "There is an old saying in my hometown, if you don't do anything bad in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. I'm not your enemy, why should you be afraid? ?”
"But Hulk..."
"Hulk will not attack others for no reason, at least I have experienced it personally." Qin Su took the opportunity to talk about his "escaping from death" experience.
"After Hulk broke through the outer wall of the building and rushed in, I was so frightened that I squatted in the corner with my head in my hands. Hulk yelled at me first, but when I didn't move, he didn't attack me, but walked forward. A few steps, and then he fell down as if he had lost strength.”
Hill listened silently and kept it in mind. Taking non-aggressive postures can reduce the probability of being attacked by the Hulk. Qin Su's mention of holding his head and squatting in defense can be used as a reference for subsequent actions to deal with the Hulk.
Banner himself couldn't believe it. In his impression, Hulk was a beast that only knew destruction and violence, without any sense at all. If Qin Su didn't lie, it proved that Hulk had the possibility of communication.
Thinking of this, Banner regained his sanity as a researcher, and he carefully asked a key question: "Where are you taking me?"
"A safe place, a place where Ross can't find him." Hill said mysteriously.
But this vague answer obviously did not satisfy Banner. He grabbed the back of the front row: "You don't want to use me to make super soldiers!"
Seeing the literal veins popping up on Banner's arm, Hill immediately slowed down the car, fearing that a brake would shock the Hulk out. In such a small space as the car, even if the Hulk had no subjective intention of harming them, the swelling would Hill's body is enough for Hill to drink a pot.
Hill secretly took out a sedative from his waist and was about to turn around and stab it into Banner's body, but he heard Old God Qin Su saying:
"Calm down, Dr. Banner, our SHIELD is a legal organization that respects laws and human rights. If we really do something to you, it means you have done something wrong. If you have a clear conscience, then we cannot do anything to you. Take action, are you right?”
Listening to Qin Su's ups and downs tone, both Banner and Hill looked at him strangely. Qin Su was not conscious at all.
"What, did I say something wrong somewhere?"
Hill corrected in a low voice: "First of all, we are called the Homeland Security and Logistics Agency, not SHIELD, although I think this name sounds better.
Secondly, Agent Qin Su, as a level 4 agent, you even remembered the name of the organization wrong, is there something..."
As early as the first meeting, Hill felt that something was wrong with Qin Su. Whether it was words or actions, he showed a casualness from the inside out, which was so strange.
It's not that agents can't have personalities. Agents are all human beings, and it's normal for people to have their own personalities. But the most important thing about agents is that they can't appear "special". It's best to be invisible to the crowd, and Qin Su But it stands out from the crowd.
In a word, Qin Su is not suitable to be an agent, but the database shows that Qin Su has just been promoted from level 3 to level 4, so Hill can't help but think about it.
Qin Su could never have imagined that SHIELD hadn't changed its name yet, so he had to forcefully smooth things over: "The original name was too long. This is what I call it in private."
"Don't bring your personal life to work, or you will die." Hill said this sincerely for Qin Su's benefit.
Qin Su shook his head: "If I don't do this, how will I win the favor of Dr. Banner? This is my strategy, treat him sincerely."
Banner was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Qin Su was honest, but this was a bit too candid. The corner of his mouth twitched and said, "Is it really okay to say it in front of me?"
"Dr. Banner, you are used to hypocrisy on the way to escape, and you are eager to be treated sincerely, so I am not going to hide it from you. That is the real bad feeling. If you don't believe me, ask yourself, even if I talk nonsense now, Are you disgusted? ”
When Banner heard it, it was true. Even if Qin Su made it clear that he had an agenda, he couldn't feel any bad feelings at all. At least Banner didn't have to guess Qin Su's thoughts. It was too tiring to guess people's hearts. This guy who was being chased by General Ross For several months, there were few people who really wanted to help him.
Seeing Qin Su persuade Banner with a few words, Hill couldn't help but doubt his own judgment. Is this really Qin Su's strategy?
Agents have always used any means to complete their missions, and exposing their true colors is one of them.
Thinking of this, Hill looked at Qin Su a little more apologetically. She was actually doubting him just now.
After passing a few more intersections, Hill entered an underground parking lot and drove into the freight elevator. After scanning his iris, the elevator began to sink.
They came to an underground base, and agents wearing sunglasses passed by them from time to time. The more they followed Hill, the fewer people there were.
Arriving in front of a silver door, Hill said to them: "Dr. Banner, Agent Qin Su, you two wait here first."
She entered the room alone. The soundproofing effect of the room was very good. No sound could be heard after the white door was closed.
The oppressive atmosphere of the underground facility made Banner feel suffocated. He began to imagine that he was locked in a small dark room and being studied, and a touch of green appeared in the depths of his pupils.
"Banner, when you became the Hulk, did you still have the ability to sense?"
Qin Su's voice pulled Banner back from the edge of the rampage in time. Banner said with lingering fear: "It feels a bit like being locked in a small dark room. You can't see or touch anything. You can only hear the Hulk shouting loudly." Roar... why do you ask this? ”
"Because it seems to me that you have a phobia of confined spaces. Since Hulk was born out of you, he probably has similar feelings. If Hulk is usually locked in a small dark room, it can explain why he always gets angry when he comes out. So irritable.”
"You mean, he is so angry because I have been locking him up?"
Banner is very friendly to others, but he has never regarded Hulk as a human being, so he will not put himself in Hulk's shoes. After listening to Qin Su's statement, Banner thought about Hulk's behavior every time he came out, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. The more I thought about it, I felt that Qin Su was right.
"Then what should I do?" Banner asked Qin Su for help.
"I suggest you try to change your attitude towards Hulk. You won't lose anything anyway."
Qin Su's words made Banner think deeply. He had been looking for a way to get rid of the Hulk, but had never thought about coexisting with the Hulk. However, no one likes to give half of his body to others for no reason.
Banner secretly decided that if Mr. Lan failed to help him eliminate Hulk, he would try Qin Su's method.
Hill walked out of the room, and she returned to her usual coldness: "The director asked you two to go in."
Qin Su and Banner walked through the white door and came to an almost completely dark room. They only saw a row of white teeth floating from the side.
"Crack."
Qin Su turned around and turned on the light, and a man wearing a black eyepatch appeared in front of them. This man was Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"You are bold, Agent."
Fredo glanced at him, and then immediately turned his attention to Banner: "First time meeting, Dr. Banner, I am Nick Fury, Director of Homeland Security."
"The director himself also said the abbreviation..." Banner muttered in a low voice. He thought that no one heard it but himself, but in fact the other two people in the room heard it clearly.
Qin Su's cheeks puffed up, and under Fury's gaze, he swallowed his breath again.
Fury continued: "I believe Hill has explained our responsibilities to you. We brought you here not to study you, but to ensure your safety.
Personally, I don't want to see any more super soldiers, especially one that's uncontrollable and what I would call a "potential threat" like the Hulk. ”
Banner frowned subconsciously. He knew that Fury was right, but he just didn't feel comfortable.
"So you want to put me under house arrest here?" Banner walked forward.
"No, I just want to help you, because helping you is helping ourselves." Fury tried hard to convince Banner to treat them as a community of interests.
"No, you're lying to me." Banner didn't agree with him, "We have nothing to say, I want to get out of here."
How could Fury spit out the fat in his mouth? He stood up silently: "Unfortunately, Dr. Banner, I can't let you leave. You should remember that I just said that the Hulk is a "potential threat." The job of the Department of Homeland Security is to eliminate threats and ensure national security.”
Fury's undisguised indifference made Banner feel cold. He suddenly understood and rushed towards Fury, but he hit the transparent wall. Fury's body fluctuated, as if the signal was poor.
"You discovered it."
The holographic projection is turned off, and all the decorations in the room disappear, revealing its true appearance, a specially-made prison.
"It took me a lot of effort to get you to take the initiative to walk inside."
The real Fury walked out of the prison, and Hill entered first to let Banner establish the understanding that this was a conversation, but he didn't know that this was a trap carefully laid by Fury.
"What about me?"
Qin Su pointed to his nose: "How should I get out of here."
Fury glanced at Qin Su and took out a stack of information in front of him: "Just today, this promotion report suddenly appeared on my seat with my seal on it, but I don't have any memory... …”
Qin Su knew that the fake ID was very unreliable, but he didn't expect it to be so unreliable that he would directly refresh the information in front of others. This was for fear that he would not be discovered, right?
"Director, if you think about it again, you really remembered it wrong, didn't you? I am one of your own!" Qin Su grabbed the railing and shouted.
Fury ignored Qin Su's protest and said to Banner: "Dr. Banner, please stay here with peace of mind."
After speaking, Fury pressed a button, and the ground on the other side where Qin Su and Banner were located began to sink, and finally landed in a single living room.
The floors above began to merge. In the confined space, Banner began to feel nervous again. He hugged his arms tightly and his breathing gradually accelerated: "Qin Su, I can feel that Hulk is ready to come out. I'm sorry, I'm sorry—— Ah!”
Banner's body expanded rapidly, and his inhuman muscles burst the shirt Qin Su bought for him. Hulk put his hands on the ground and slowly raised his head. His green pupils seemed to be burning with eternal anger.
Upon seeing this, Qin Su said nothing and squatted down with his head in his hands, looking like he was trying to reduce his presence.
But this cell was only so big. Hulk saw Qin Su at a glance. He instinctively wanted to vent his anger, but when Hulk's eyes met Qin Su's, his body suddenly stopped.
The overwhelming pressure suffocated Hulk. He tried to take a step forward, but actually took a step back.
Hulk remembered that not long ago, it was Qin Su who knocked him unconscious with his bare hands, but now it was different from that time. Qin Su looked calm at that time, but now Qin Su's expression seemed to say, if you dare to do it, I will shoot you to death.
Without any hesitation, Hulk turned his head and rushed towards the wall. Under the instinct of survival, Hulk burst out with far more strength than before. In just one minute, Hulk tore down the wall and ran away without looking back.
Hulk's escape triggered the alarm, and Fury hid immediately. He calculated very clearly that if Hulk couldn't be held in a special prison, then no place in this building would be safe.
After hearing the alarm, Hill also wanted to take refuge. Unexpectedly, he ran out of the corridor and ran into the escaped Hulk. Moreover, there were many agents in the corridor at this time.
Not every agent knows the existence of Hulk. When he sees a green-skinned monster coming towards him, he takes out his gun reflexively and prepares to hit Hulk.
"Stop! Bullets are useless to him!"
Hill hurriedly stopped them. Seeing Hulk approaching, she was desperate and remembered what Qin Su said.
"Everyone, turn your back to Hulk, hold your head and squat down!"
This order was ridiculous, but in extreme panic, the agents without guns subconsciously obeyed Hill's orders, while the ones with guns opened fire.
Hill also squatted down with her head in her arms. A strong wind blew across her back. Along with several screams and collisions, the sound of Hulk's heavy footsteps gradually faded away.
Those who fired were slapped against the wall by the Hulk, while those who crouched in defense survived. (End of chapter)
