Under gamma ray exposure, Bronsky also underwent a rapid mutation, transforming into a gray-green monster similar to the Hulk.
Chapter 171, Unexpected Change
On the military transport helicopter, Banner was sitting on one side of the plane in shackles. Across from him, Betty was holding his hands tightly, her eyes filled with unwavering love for Banner.
Banner kissed Betty's hand, then held her hands tightly in return, looking at her with deep affection and love.
General Ross sat next to Banner, watching his daughter's state and their actions, and sighed helplessly, his heart filled with bitterness.
Coulson and Holm sat next to them. Unlike the military personnel in camouflage, the two were dressed in suits and had expressionless faces, giving them a unique air about them.
Banner had dealt with the military for many years and knew their style, so when he saw Holm and his companion, who had a completely different demeanor from the military, he asked with some curiosity, "Are you two here to arrest me too? You don't seem like military people."
After he finished asking his question, before Coulson or Holm could speak, General Ross said calmly, "They are from S.H.I.E.L.D. The reason your trail was discovered is thanks to them."
"S.H.I.E.L.D." Banner was clearly hearing the name for the first time.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Holm extended his hand and smiled, "SHIELD is an abbreviation; to be precise, it's the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency."
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Banner. I am Agent Clint, and this is my superior, Agent Coulson.”
Seeing Holm extend his hand, Banner was a little confused, but he still subconsciously extended his shackled hand and shook hands with Holm, saying, "Oh...oh, is that so? Hello."
After saying hello and withdrawing his hand, Banner realized something was wrong. He was supposed to be an arrested criminal, but it was like a social gathering.
Moreover, General Ross just said that it was because S.H.I.E.L.D. found their trail that the military was able to surround them, which is why he is sitting here.
As his mind raced with thoughts, Holm, as if reading his mind, continued with a smile, "It's just work. I personally have no hostility towards you; on the contrary, I admire your knowledge and skills..."
As Holm continued his eloquent speech, not only did General Ross find it unbelievable, but even Coulson was secretly amazed. He had never realized before how skilled Holm was with words, and it seemed that Dr. Banner was almost completely swayed by his rhetoric.
This guy really distanced himself from the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., and started talking to Dr. Banner in his own capacity.
"No wonder you have seven doctoral degrees. Talking with you really makes me realize how lacking and inadequate I am in this area," Holm said with a smile, looking at Dr. Banner.
Dr. Banner waved his hand, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I just know a lot about certain aspects."
General Ross couldn't stand their conversation any longer. Just as he was about to speak up and stop them, the soldier in front of him suddenly heard something in his earpiece. He immediately turned around seriously, took out his walkie-talkie, and said to General Ross, "General, you have to listen to this."
General Ross took the walkie-talkie and put it to his ear, then heard a call that baffled him: "Hulk is on the street! Repeat! Hulk is on the street! Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"
Hearing the voice on the walkie-talkie, General Ross turned his head in disbelief and looked at Banner, who was still sitting there calmly, chatting happily with Home.
“That’s impossible. You need to calm down, young man,” General Ross said into the walkie-talkie. “Cheer up. Where are you now?”
"121st Street! Head north along Broadway!" the soldier shouted over the walkie-talkie.
Upon hearing his location, General Ross also said to the driver in front, "Turn around, let's go back and take a look."
Sensing the plane's movement and hearing General Ross's words, Banner looked at Holm with some confusion and said, "Go back? Why should we go back?"
Upon hearing this, Holm pointed to General Ross and said, "Sorry, I don't know the situation either."
"Let me see what's going on down there," General Ross continued shouting into the walkie-talkie.
Under his command, the soldiers below drove the armored vehicles at breakneck speed while using cameras to target the area in the distance, transmitting the scene onto the helicopter's screen.
On the screen, the street below was on fire, countless vehicles were surging on the road, and people were screaming and scattering to escape.
A figure resembling a small giant was roaring wildly in the middle, occasionally lifting a car next to him and throwing it at the building next to him.
Upon seeing these images, the people on the helicopter widened their eyes in disbelief. Banner stood up, staring at the screen, and exclaimed, "What? What's going on?"
General Ross glanced at the screen, then at Banner beside him, and then back at the screen.
He couldn't figure out how such a big guy had suddenly appeared.
As the camera zoomed in and the small giant-like figure gradually became clearer, the people on the plane recognized that this small giant was not Hulk.
"Did you guys do this?" Banner asked, looking at General Ross beside him.
Betty stared wide-eyed at General Ross, asking incredulously, "My God, what have you done?"
Although she had already decided in her heart that her father was not a good person, the scene in front of her still refreshed her understanding once again.
Hearing the two men questioning him, General Ross moved his lips, unsure of what to say.
What could he say? That he didn't know what was going on either?
The disappointment in Betty's eyes hurt him more than ever before.
He could only frantically grab the walkie-talkie, watch the monster displaying its might on the screen, and order his soldiers to retreat immediately.
"I didn't expect the unexpected to happen again." Coulson looked at the screen and said to Holm next to him, "Another monster that looks like Hulk has appeared."
"Phew~ I thought my work for the day was already over." Holm sighed, sounding somewhat "troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Coulson patted him on the shoulder and said, "Looks like you'll have to work a little harder now."
"But don't worry, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been prepared for this for a long time. You are not fighting alone."
"It's just that we've changed the hypothetical enemy from the Hulk to this big guy. Our preparations are more than enough."
“Understood, I will keep him in check,” Holm nodded and said.
Chapter 172, It's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s turn.
While Holm and Coulson were talking, Banner finally found some familiar traces on the monster.
“He’s Bronsky, right? The soldier who was just pressuring me to fight the Hulk,” Banner said, staring at General Ross.
"How ridiculous. You've always wanted a weapon of war like the Hulk, but when he actually appeared, your face turned so ugly."
Banner's sarcasm and questioning made General Ross's face turn even more ashen. He had just discovered that the monster below was Bronsky.
His original intention was to create a super soldier who possessed the Hulk's monstrous destructive power and could absolutely obey orders, which is why he injected Bronsky with the super serum.
But no one expected that Bronsky's ambition and obsession were greater and deeper than he imagined. He secretly did something and turned into a completely uncontrollable beast that wreaked havoc and slaughtered lives, even worse than the Hulk.
General Ross did not respond to Banner's words, but picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered all the soldiers: "Mobilize all heavy firepower to target that monster and fire at full speed. At the same time, help evacuate the civilians. We cannot let him continue to cause destruction."
After General Ross issued his order, the activities of the Abominations were immediately restricted.
Countless bullets rained down on the abomination, and every now and then a few shells landed on or beside him, causing him tremendous impact.
But neither bullets nor shells could cause him much damage; at most, they would cause him some pain after they exploded.
"Roar!!!"
As it fought back, it also raised its head and shouted loudly.
He threw the vehicles around him like toys, crushing a soldier who was aiming and firing into pieces.
Seeing that the soldiers were powerless to fight back, Banner stood up and turned to look at General Ross. As if he had made up his mind, he slowly walked to the side of the cabin.
Betty, sensing his thoughts, nervously grabbed his hand and said, "Bruce, the antidote has taken effect..."
“I know,” Banner said in a low voice, looking at Betty. “But I have to do it.”
“Sorry, perhaps this isn’t quite in line with the current atmosphere, but has Dr. Banner forgotten that he’s still a prisoner?” Just as Banner and Betty were talking and preparing to jump off the plane to fight Abomination, Holm interrupted them.
Banner was taken aback by these words, but then looked at Holm seriously and said, "Only Hulk can stop that big guy, so I have to go."
Upon hearing this, Holm patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Sorry, I can't give you this opportunity. My superior has already given me orders."
“But…” Banner frowned.
"This big guy will be handled by S.H.I.E.L.D., Dr. Banner, you can just stay on the plane." Holm said as he loosened his tie, and then, to the astonishment of everyone on the plane, he jumped off.
“He…!” Banner stared wide-eyed at Coulson beside him, momentarily speechless.
Coulson simply smiled, glanced back at General Ross, and then spoke into his headset, "Daisy, get ready. Holm has gone down. We'll assist him as needed."
"Received," Daisy replied through the earpiece.
"Can he manage on his own?" General Ross asked Coulson after a moment of silence.
Despite Coulson's seemingly nonchalant demeanor and Holm's confident air after jumping off the plane, he still couldn't imagine what methods S.H.I.E.L.D. could use to deal with Bronsky, who had transformed into a giant monster.
Hearing General Ross's question, Coulson, still sporting his signature smile, turned back to look at him and said, "He's not fighting alone; that big guy's opponent is S.H.I.E.L.D."
"He is about to face the highest combat power of S.H.I.E.L.D. and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s standard firepower."
As Coulson finished speaking, several Quinjet fighters suddenly appeared in the previously empty sky.
They all stopped in mid-air in a fighting stance, forming an encirclement that surrounded the abominations that were wreaking havoc.
Another helicopter came to a steady stop in front of it, its cabin opened, and Daisy was in the pilot's seat controlling the aircraft.
"See you next time, General Ross." Coulson said as he jumped into the Quinjet and waved goodbye to the people on the helicopter.
Seeing this, General Ross knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been prepared all along. Without this unexpected incident, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s preparations would have been nothing more than preparations.
But with this unexpected event, the initiative shifted from the military to S.H.I.E.L.D.
If the crisis is successfully resolved by the young man who jumped and the planes in the sky, then the military will inevitably have to bear full responsibility for the accident and the damage caused, while S.H.I.E.L.D. will be the hero who resolves everything.
With a loud bang, Holm landed straight into a large crater in the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The loud noise drew Abomination's attention. Just as he turned his head with some disdain, wanting to see which fool had dared to come to his door again, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the dust, crashed into him, and kicked him away.
"boom!"
The abomination flew backward and slammed into the roofs of several cars behind it, making the already dusty and damaged vehicles rattle and whistle.
Hatred pushed aside the cars beneath him and looked in the direction he had just been.
Then he saw Holm standing there, smiling at him, holding a laser pointer in his hand.
The laser pointer emitted a bright green light, which landed squarely on his chest.
As a battle-hardened soldier, he was very familiar with such equipment. He immediately stood up to prepare to avoid the bombing, but the missiles were obviously faster than him. Countless missiles were falling from the sky and hit him directly.
"Boom!"
Exploding flames shot into the sky, and this wave of bombing by the Quinjet turned the entire block into a sea of fire.
As the missiles began to fall, Holm had already nimbly retreated. After all, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. He had already deliberately created a weakness for fire and sound waves. If he had just stubbornly stood still, wouldn't that weakness have been exposed?
The towering flames dyed the entire sky orange-red.
Gazing at this magnificent sight, Holm stood atop a wrecked car and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Praise be to technology!"
"Even if I don't die, this will save me a lot of trouble."
