Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 240 Hulk is completely enraged

High floor, open window, call for help.

Seeing these sensitive images on television immediately reminded the people of that tragic incident.

Not only the people of the rice paddies, but audiences all over the world couldn't help but feel pity and sympathy.

But once they saw what these people calling for help were wearing, all their sympathy vanished.

Who would sympathize with a vampire who has burdened himself with heavy debt?

The old money tycoons, who control military-industrial complexes, sat high on their pedestals, gleefully watching their opponents' dogs howl in agony.

They just didn't know that the weapon they held as their source of confidence was actually useless.

The reason the old money was so confident was because they had obtained the videos Skye had found through various means.

They also obtained General Ross's operation report, which stated that although the pursuit of Hulk always failed, Hulk was undoubtedly no match for the army.

He was relentlessly pursued by General Ross, with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, and was even forced to flee to the rainforests of South America to catch his breath.

If even ordinary army special forces can make the Hulk run around, then the most advanced, even alien-technology weapons they possess must be able to kill the Hulk.

It must be said that this judgment is very reasonable and logical.

No one expected that what drove Hulk to flee madly was not the army soldiers' weapons, but Dr. Bruce Banner's cowardly nature and his natural fear of the law and the army.

Perhaps the fact that General Ross himself was Dr. Banner's prospective father-in-law also had a strong enough influence on Hulk.

Because they were unaware of this crucial and confidential information, many people made incorrect judgments.

For example, S.H.I.E.L.D.

Hulk didn't actually knock down the building. After seeing it shake, he laughed happily and then went to shake the next building.

As he walked and played, Hulk approached the battlefield where he was fighting Abomination.

Then Hulk saw a group of agents in black suits surrounding the crater he had created, using chains and a high-powered winch to drag Abomination out of the pit.

The simple-minded Hulk, upon seeing the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, didn't understand whether they were friend or foe, and stared wide-eyed as he observed and pondered.

But his gaze was so terrifying that several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents couldn't withstand the atmosphere and drew their specially issued Skrull weapons to fire at Hulk.

A blinding blue light flashed, and a terrifying stream of heavy particles struck Hulk's stomach, but failed to penetrate his skin. The ensuing violent explosion blasted Hulk into the building across the street.

Nick Fury, in the New York headquarters command center, witnessed this scene through the agents' body cameras. He immediately flew into a rage, yelling, "Whose men are these? How could S.H.I.E.L.D. have such stupid agents? Aren't they asking for death?"

As expected, after the attack with alien weapons demonstrated hostility, Hulk, feeling threatened, launched a counterattack, and the leading S.H.I.E.L.D. agent was instantly turned into a puddle of mud under his 98-yard-long footsteps.

Other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were also reduced to blood mist or mincemeat.

Ordinary humans are even more powerless in the face of the Hulk than when facing a super engineering vehicle carrying hundreds of tons.

After killing all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Hulk found Abomination being dragged out of the pit. The poor guy hadn't even woken up yet when Hulk picked him up again.

Hulk shook off the Abomination and found that it felt surprisingly good to handle, and its attack power was considerable. No matter what it aimed at, it would immediately create a huge crater.

Moreover, the body of the abomination is exceptionally tough, unlike a car or a telephone pole, which can be damaged by a few hits.

After swinging the Abomination around a few times, Hulk was pleasantly surprised to find that the sharp bone spikes on the creature were particularly useful; with a "light" effort, they could be driven deep into the cement.

If dragged forcefully, the sharp bone spurs can cut deep marks in the cement, demonstrating unparalleled destructive power.

Hulk found the Abomination to be exceptionally useful as a weapon, wielding it with great force.

As Hulk's mood improved, the flames of anger within him gradually died down, his terrifying power began to subside, and even his swollen body slowly shrank.

But Hulk didn't care; he was having a lot of fun.

Xia Zuo soon received another call from Rockefeller.

The powerful man said with a hint of excitement, "Shazo, the vampires have surrendered. They've agreed to hand over Lehman's legacy to us."

Shazor chuckled and asked, "Steven, has someone objected and wants to take my place in dealing with the Hulk?"

Rockefeller chuckled awkwardly a few times: "Yes."

"But from the way you're talking, it seems like you're not surprised at all?"

Xia Zuo replied, "Of course, that's only human nature."

"You powerful clans have worked hard for five or even seven generations, accumulating wealth and power for over a hundred years, to achieve your current supreme status."

"But I actually entered this social class all by myself. They must feel uncomfortable, thinking, 'Why is it that my ten years of hard work can be equivalent to the efforts of their five generations?'"

Rockefeller's laughter came through the phone: "Shazo, my friend, you are truly wise."

"Yes, that's only human nature."

"To be honest, if you hadn't shown it to me in person, I would have had similar thoughts and wouldn't have been able to accept your joining as readily as Uncle David."

Xia Zuo curled his lips and laughed, "Steven, although your generation was born during the Cold War, you grew up enjoying the victory of the Cold War. You have never truly felt the importance of power in your lives, so it is normal that you do not attach much importance to me."

"But your elders have all experienced real hot and cold wars, and their understanding of power is profound. It's not surprising that they accepted my joining without hesitation."

"That's what the generation gap is all about."

Rockefeller scoffed, "What are you talking about? It's just that you're too lazy and refuse to attend parties."

"You're so lazy that you don't even bother to demonstrate your skills, which is why they mistakenly think you only know gun-fu?"

"My friends are all elites who fought their way up from their families. They may be arrogant, but none of them are fools."

Xia Zuo chuckled: "Steve, although I am indeed very lazy and I really hate those weird parties, I don't want to deliberately show off my strength."

"But I haven't deliberately hidden it for the past two months. Isn't the reason they all don't know because you've been doing everything you can to cover for me?"

The two were silent for a moment, then burst into laughter at the same time.

Shazo Dawson and Steve Rockefeller became friends because they realized they were kindred spirits.

Rockefeller, having finished laughing, nodded and said, "I understand your thinking. Let's wait for their adventure to fail, and then we'll step in to clean up the mess."

"Just rest assured and I'll call you when the time is right."

After Xia Zuo hung up the phone, Skye said worriedly, "Boss, I'll go with you later. I'm really strong now."

Xia Zuo shook his head and said, "No way!"

"Watch TV. Those guys have decided to use their trump cards against Hulk. You'll soon find out just how difficult Hulk is, and then you'll understand why I didn't let you participate in this battle."

Soon, heavy helicopters brought in many weapons that only existed in dreams: walking mechs carrying huge cannons, exoskeleton infantry carrying plasma weapons, and stealth soldiers holding laser guides.

Beyond the television screen, beyond the visible range, even heavier behemoths were poised to deliver a fatal blow to the Hulk.

Those futuristic and glamorous weapons are adorned with extravagant logos, indicating which military industrial group manufactured them.

At this critical moment, these guys didn't forget to cripple their military-industrial complex. They've clearly been brainwashed by the Judas' propaganda and turned into complete businessmen.

Suddenly, a depleted uranium armor-piercing discarding sabot round struck the unsuspecting Hulk, causing him to scream in agony.

Then came the second and the third, the successive hits causing Hulk excruciating pain, his screams mixed with obvious sobs.

But the attackers gave Hulk no chance to breathe, drenching him with plasma that burned fiercely on his skin, igniting blue flames.

Then a barrage of bullets rained down on Hulk, and white frost quickly froze half of his body.

Acid, poison gas, radiation, glue, magma, lasers—strange weapons were fired, raining down on Hulk, leaving him overwhelmed and his figure obscured by mists of various colors.

But the attackers did not stop; a barrage of weapons and ammunition rained down into the smoke.

Hulk roared repeatedly as he was beaten, his cries of pain echoing continuously from the mist.

Xia Zuo pointed at the screen and said, "Skye, look, this is the best illustration of the 'no harm in smoke' principle. These people are going to be in trouble."

.

Skye, watching the screen, could feel the impending terror. She nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice, saying, "Yeah, that's terrifying! My boss is amazing, so wise!"

Xia Zuo laughed: "What, aren't you worried about my safety anymore? Aren't you going to face the enemy with me?"

Skye smiled sweetly: "Boss, I'm still worried, but I know I can't change your mind. With my current strength, I can't face a Hulk like that. Going there would only cause you trouble."

"I can only wait for you to come home. If you really suffer misfortune, boss, I—I will be there for you."

Xia Zuo was stunned when he heard Skye's last words.

Skye's determination and sincerity were so strong that he could feel them even without activating his [Mind Network] at such close range.

Xia Zuo's lips curled up little by little, and he suddenly reached out and hugged the girl in his arms.

He held her so tenderly yet resolutely, as if he were cradling a priceless treasure in his arms.

Of all the Xia Zuos in the myriad worlds, how many have actually met a woman willing to live and die with them?

Hmm—it seems there really is.

Pshaw, so what? This is mine!

Xia Zuo and Skye's relationship progressed further, while on the Wall Street battlefield, the soldiers who were unleashing their "future weapons" with a frenzied barrage of firepower also realized that something was wrong.

After their excitement subsided, they noticed that Hulk's screams were getting louder and louder, but they were no longer screams of agony, and there was no longer any pain in his voice, only overwhelming rage and terrifying brutality.

As the soldiers grew increasingly panicked, a huge, digging bucket-like green hand emerged from the smoke and grabbed the six-legged walking mech that was frantically unleashing depleted uranium rounds.

Five fingers, as strong as giant pillars, came together, and the steel walking mech turned into scrap metal amidst a piercing sound of steel twisting.

Hulk, his body swelled to several times its original size, emerged from the smoke, clutching twisted scrap metal.

Xia Zuo, holding Skye, clicked his tongue in amazement: "These weapons are pretty good. They really hurt Hulk, but they also annoyed the kid."

Skye looked up and asked, "Hulk is a child?"

Xia Zuo replied, "Yes, Hulk is a child who was just born not long ago, ignorant yet possessing terrifying power."

"Dr. Bruce Banner was too scared after his mutation, and his fear of the Hulk's power made him lose his mind. He still doesn't realize the Hulk's existence."

Xia Zuo laughed: "He probably thinks that his body has mutated, and once he loses his mind due to anger, he will lose control of his power."

The crushed six-legged mech was used as a brick and slammed hard into another heavily armored two-legged mech.

That machine was clearly a copy of the Iron Monger; even after being hit by such a huge brick, its thick armor protecting its body remained undamaged.

The immense impact sent the heavy mech's feet off the ground, throwing it backward a full 30 meters before it regained its footing.

For a steel mech, teleporting 30 meters instantly is not a fatal blow.

However, for the pilot of the mech, the extremely high acceleration brought about by instantaneous teleportation is enough to break his neck and take his life.

Hulk was unaware that the pilot of the heavy armored machine was dead. He roared and charged out of the smoke, bringing with him a howling wind, and crashed into the still intact and standing machine.

Then Hulk sat on the heavy armor and began to frantically thrash with his hands, tearing out various metal parts like a fountain.

In just a few moments, the upper body of the heavy armor was destroyed beyond recognition, and the pilot with a broken neck was thrown out by Hulk, landing among the metal parts scattered on the ground.

Once he was sure the enemy who had hurt him was no longer a threat, Hulk stood up and pounced on the next enemy who had hurt him.

Children's thinking is very simple: they retaliate according to the level of pain they feel, from highest to lowest, and never deal with two targets at the same time.

When Hulk had destroyed half of the weapons, Shazor gently released Skye.

With Skye's help, he put on the combat suit.

Xia Zuo picked up his special cell phone, opened the window of the lounge, and said, "Stay home and watch TV to see how your boss deals with the Hulk."

After saying that, he used [Magnetic Control] to control the metal plates on his combat suit, and flew up towards Manhattan.
