Chapter 173 Hulk City!
With the intervention of Qin Su and the others, Jin Bin's New York subversion plan ended before it even started. All the Hulk serum in his hands was destroyed, but Qin Su and the others failed to find out Stern's location.
Fury contacted the government and classified the Hulk serum as a banned drug. The New York police searched it overnight and tried to cut off the sales chain.
"You can't count on the police. If a large-scale search can be effective, drugs will not be banned again and again." Qin Su, as a Gotham police officer, feels this deeply.
"What's more, this is a super potion that can turn you into a strong man after drinking it."
Tony, who was still drinking vegetable juice, was very envious: "If it hadn't turned my whole body green after drinking it, I would have wanted to have a bottle. Anyway, it is similar in color to what I am drinking now."
Fury hasn't given anything to Tony yet, so Tony has to rely on fruit and vegetable drinks during this period. However, due to wearing the steel suit several times, the palladium content in his blood has increased by 9%. In the past few days, he has I don’t even dare to drink anymore.
Banner looked at the large and small bands on the screen: "There are too many serums on the market, and it is impossible to trace the source."
Qin Su glanced at the amount and felt a headache: "Banner, how much blood did you send to Stern? The serum collected these days is enough to open a blood bank."
Banner was a little embarrassed when he heard this. At first, he regarded Mr. Lan, also known as Stern, as his last life-saving straw. He always responded to Stern's requests, but Stern was not polite to him. The blood he drew out was always the size of a human head. of jars.
Ordinary people who take the Hulk serum will gain strength comparable to the Hulk in a short period of time, but they do not have the Hulk's "anger-inspired power" characteristics, and they have no sense, almost like a beast.
Qin Su calls these people "infected people." Iron Man can handle individual infected people now, but the problem lies in the number. When infected people appear in plural in the urban area, Qin Su and the others can only have three people, no matter how strong they are. As an individual, traveling takes time, and casualties are bound to occur during this process.
Qin Su felt that it was necessary to change his strategy: "Banner, since there is no progress in the traceability work, let's stop for a while and try to develop a potion that can quickly remove the effects of the serum."
With targeted props, even ordinary police officers can help, which can greatly reduce the pressure on Qin Su and others.
"Another infected person appears in Queens." Banner reported the situation.
Qin Su stopped Tony who was getting up and put the vegetable juice into his hand: "Your toxin has not been removed yet. Don't go out casually. Work with Banner to develop a potion. Leave the infected to me."
After taking the photo of the Omnitrix, Qin Su transformed into a gliding king and flew towards Queens.
At the same time, the World Security Council held a holographic projection meeting to discuss the unrest caused by the Hulk serum.
"Pierce, it's been a week since the first riot, why hasn't the matter been resolved!"
Pierce explained: "General police firepower cannot suppress the infected, and reinforcements need to be dispatched, so the progress is slow. As for when it will end, I believe Nick Fury will give us a satisfactory answer soon."
"The person who created the potion must be captured alive, at any cost!"
"If there is value in using him, Fury will keep him alive. On this point, I completely trust Fury's judgment, and I hope you can do the same."
Faced with repeated bombardments from other representatives, Pierce always showed his unconditional trust in Fury.
Due to the hidden nature of the Hulk serum, there have been many cases of attacks on senior officials in recent days, causing everyone to be in danger, including representatives of the World Security Council.
No one knows whether the honest person who was scolded one second will turn into a monster who breaks off a street light with one hand the next second.
They projected a picture of Qin Su defeating the infected and rescuing the people: "Pierce, we can't place our hope on the rescue of a private group of heroes. What we need is - Insight Plan!"
Pierce looked embarrassed: "But the space carrier still needs time to build, let alone the follow-up armament..."
"Then launch the Insight Satellite first. We need to see every potential criminal so that all crimes will end before they begin!"
At the end of the meeting, the projection of the World Security Council was turned off, and the curtain that blocked the sun automatically opened. Pierce looked out the window at New York, and the corners of his mouth rose unnoticeably.
……
Qin Su strangled an infected person's neck and knocked him unconscious. This was the third person he had solved today.
"Thank you, Light Knight!"
A policeman came to shake hands with Qin Su and thanked Qin Su for cooperating with their work. His attitude was completely different from that towards other superheroes. Because Qin Su had a certificate, the police regarded him as a member of the superior department.
Qin Su tied the infected people with iron chains and handed them over to the police to take away: "Remember, do not untie the chains within 24 hours, even if they become ordinary people!"
The infected person will remain in the transformed state for a period of time after taking the serum until the effect of the drug wears off or they are exhausted.
Of course, Qin Su could use the gene repair function of Omnitrix, but he didn't want to expose this trump card before he figured out Stern's plan.
"Beep beep beep!"
Qin Su received an urgent communication from Banner.
[Qin Su, I have tracked a large-scale gamma effect in Queens, which is five times the peak value previously detected. 】
It was the Queens District again, and they were not far apart. Qin Su frowned slightly, his intuition told him that there was something fishy, but even if there was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den ahead, Qin Su was not afraid.
Ten minutes later, Qin Su rushed to the location Banner had marked for him. It was an industrial park with very poor air quality, which was in line with the environment that should be used to manufacture chemicals.
Qin Su jumped up, climbed over the wall, and entered the factory. He saw the huge machines inside at a glance, and Professor Stern was sitting on a floating mechanical chair.
A week later, Stern ingested a large amount of Hulk serum, and the degree of mutation increased again. Now his skin color has changed to dark green consistent with Hulk, and his head has expanded to more than three times the size of a normal person.
Stern's mutation is permanent, and the angle is completely different from that of Hulk. Not only has his strength not been enhanced, but because of his overly bloated head, Stern is now unable to walk with his legs and must rely on equipment to support his head.
"Long time no see, Agent Qin Su."
Stern was not surprised at all by Qin Su's arrival.
Qin Su raised his eyebrows: "Do you know me?"
"I had the honor to meet you the night you defeated Abomination and Hulk alone." Stern's tone could be described as polite.
"Abomination is a monster I spawned, and Hulk has also undergone surgery by me. No one knows their power better than me, but even so, they are not your enemy."
"In order to test your limits, I deliberately distributed the potion. Once you faced five infected people alone, you still seemed to be able to do it with ease, but I also found the source of your power."
Stern looked at the Omnitrix on Qin Su's right hand with extremely hot eyes: "Qin Su, that watch stores tens of thousands of genetic codes. Give it to me and I will create an all-powerful race.
Think about it, with eternal lifespan, infinite wisdom, and infinite power, human civilization will be immortal! ”
After listening to Shi Denghua's pie, Qin Su was indifferent.
"Eternity? Infinity? Professor Stern, the race you mentioned already exists in the universe, but I regret to tell you that this race tends to produce filial sons."
Qin Su was talking about Yi Ge, a powerful and fragile being from the Celestial Clan, with a lifespan close to eternity, but he died from a bomb made of energy batteries. This was both childish and reasonable, because the one who really killed Yi Ge was someone else. A Celestial, his son Star-Lord.
"Judging from your "sharp" appearance, your evolutionary path is also biased towards that of Egg. I advise you to give up. There is no future."
Stern now has dozens of times the intelligence of ordinary people, but he can't understand what Qin Su is saying. He thinks Qin Su is perfunctory and slowly shakes his huge head.
"Since you are unwilling to cooperate, then I can only use a second-rate plan."
Qin Su had an ominous premonition: "What is your plan?"
Stern laughed loudly: "Do you think I will tell you my great plan like a villain in a hero comic?"
"No one with brains would do that," Qin Su transformed into a four-handed overlord, "Then I will lift your Tianling Cap."
This was a naked threat. Stern's smile froze: "Wait, don't do it yet, or you will regret it!"
The Four-Handed Overlord held Stern's head with one hand and lifted him up: "Hurry up and tell me what this machine is for."
Due to the physical pressure exerted by Qin Su, Stern passively transformed into the Answer Star: "This is a brainwave enhancement device. It can strengthen my mind control ability and expand the range to cover the entire New York."
Qin Su looked at him sideways: "This is why my ears have been buzzing since I came in. Do you want to control me?"
"Yes, but it's a pity that your willpower is too strong, unlike those gangsters." Stern's mind control ability is only effective on those with weak will.
"Even if you wear a brainwave enhancement device, you can't control me." Qin Su's mental resistance is enough to resist most of the effects of the Mind Stone.
"If I smash this pile of scrap metal, then your plan will fail, Professor Stern."
Seeing the Four-Handed Overlord raising his fist and preparing to smash the brainwave enhancement device, Stern showed a strange smile on his face: "No, you don't want to do this. Not only that, you will kneel down and beg me next."
Qin Su looked around, and he finally understood what was wrong: "Where are those people who were brainwashed by you!"
"Ahem, cough."
Stern was lying on the ground, his huge forehead even more prominent.
"They're at Osborne Industries."
In the Osborn Building, several men with stiff expressions loaded jars of Hulk serum into a device, and Norman Osborn stood nearby. He witnessed the whole process, but was indifferent to these intruders. .
"The Canary device only needs to be loaded with enough Hulk serum, and the reaction cloud it creates is enough to cover the entire city."
After the serum was loaded, a green light bomb was shot into the sky, and then exploded into a green cloud.
Qin Su couldn't understand why Stern's plan had anything to do with Osborne at first, until he saw a flash of green covering the sky.
[Qin Su, a green reaction cloud floated from Queens, and a large number of gamma rays were detected on it...]
"I saw it, Banner."
Qin Su's face at this moment was as gloomy as the clouds in the sky. He fell into Stern's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Qin Su thought that catching Stern as the mastermind would be able to control the situation, but he didn't expect that even the Green Goblin was involved in this plan. .
"Speed up the development of the serum's antidote and do your best, Banner!"
Stern was lying on the ground, looking at the surging green clouds in the sky. He raised his head and laughed: "It's going to rain, Qin Su, can you put the city in a bottle?"
……
Gwen also saw the sky turn green. Her head felt tingling. Her spider sense allowed Gwen to see a picture.
Thousands of "Hulks" gathered at the Osborne Tower and besieged a man wearing a red cape.
After Gwen woke up, she immediately called her father who was at work: "Dad, please find a safe place to hide. Hurry!"
"Why? Is it because of the strange clouds in the sky?"
Gwen's father raised his head, and he suddenly felt a little wet on his face.
"Is it raining?"
The call was cut off, and Gwen immediately put on Spider-Woman's uniform and jumped out of the window.
The green rain flows through every corner of the city. At first, people's exclamations will be heard, but then there will be no more.
Gwen rushed to the police station where her father worked. She overlooked New York, the most prosperous city in human civilization, but it echoed with the most primitive sounds.
The spider sense issued a warning, and Gwen, who was floating in the air, suddenly looked back, and a green figure rushed towards her.
"Roar!"
……
Qin Su turned to look at Stern. He wanted to twist Stern into a twist at this moment, but he couldn't do it.
Millions of uncontrolled Hulks would be a complete disaster. The entire United States and even the earth would be destroyed. They must be restrained in New York City, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
Qin Su lifted Stern and placed him on the brainwave enhancement device.
"I want you to control all the infected!"
Stern laughed, so unbridled.
"I just said you would come and beg me."
"Hurry up!" Qin Su's eyes widened.
Seeing that Qin Su was about to go berserk, Stern stopped and activated the brainwave enhancement device.
Before his head was covered by the enhanced instrument, Stern said with a smile: "Qin Su, thank you, I accept this Hulk Army."
The brainwave intensifier was activated, and with the help of the instrument, Stern successfully connected to the brains of infected people throughout New York City.
In an instant, all the infected people stopped moving, and then moved towards Queens in a uniform manner, leaving only a mess wherever they passed.
Qin Su felt the aura gathering nearby, but he still walked toward the door alone.
"How many permanent residents are there in New York City? It seems to be almost 10 million."
Stern's voice came from behind Qin Su. He had not given up his plan to seize the Omnitrix.
"Come on, Qin Su, face the Hulk City!" (End of Chapter)
