Both of them were intelligent people; otherwise, they wouldn't have reached their current positions. If the person Han Yu was referring to wasn't Banner, but Hulk, then it meant that the person Han Yu had found was no longer Banner, but Hulk.
While rushing over, they were also puzzled. The Avengers had been searching for Gamma Energy signals during this time, but hadn't detected any. If Banner had been in Hulk form the entire time, the detection system would not have failed to detect this level of Gamma Energy, which surpassed even a nuclear bomb.
After the two arrived at the grocery store, they were shocked by the scene before them.
They entered the storage room within the grocery store. Han Yu had used Green Lantern Energy to construct a solid cage here. At this moment, Hulk was still in a half-green, half-red state, continuously roaring within the cage.
Unfortunately, all he could do was vent his incapable fury.
Between the slender pillars of the Green Lantern cage, there was a layer of energy membrane. It was the presence of this membrane that isolated the sound, so that the earth-shattering roars of Hulk inside couldn't be heard from the outside.
"Han, what's going on?"
Looking at the feigned "Banner," Stark was somewhat confused.
Captain America circled the cage, sizing up the Hulkified Banner. The latter looked like a mutated version of himself. His muscles were a size larger, and overall he could still be considered human, only his muscles were half green and half red.
Han Yu sighed softly. He looked at Captain America and said, "Do you remember the last time we were attacked by Pierce's team at S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"I do. What about it?" Captain America nodded.
"What happened to Pierce afterwards?" Han Yu asked.
This involved S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrets, but only the three of them were present. Stark was naturally trustworthy, and Han Yu also had S.H.I.E.L.D.'s highest authority, so Captain America didn't hesitate to say,
"He was executed. Afterward, we wanted to analyze the reason for his rage, so we sent a few people to dissect Pierce's body and take samples for research. Banner was one of them." Captain America stated truthfully.
"And then?" Han Yu asked.
Captain America said, "Not long after the dissection began, several of them said they felt unwell. We initially thought it was because they felt uncomfortable looking at the dissected corpse..."
Speaking of this, Captain America's eyes suddenly widened. Han Yu's sudden question about Pierce, and the fact that Pierce had been in that frenzied state, while Banner had also participated in the autopsy...
The answer was already very clear.
It was because they had come into contact with Pierce's corpse that they were like this!
"Go find the people who were involved in Pierce's autopsy immediately, quickly!" Han Yu immediately said. If that was the case, then Banner wasn't the only one who had been exposed to the Laughing Virus.
Captain America also understood the importance of the matter and immediately went out to make a phone call, as the area was isolated from outside signals.
"What are you guys talking about? I don't understand, explain it to me."
Stark asked. He didn't know what had happened with Pierce. He had been in a daze when Han Yu and Captain America were talking, and couldn't understand anything.
Han Yu explained the whole story to Stark, who then understood and looked equally serious.
From the current situation, if the virus Banner is infected with is contagious, it's crucial to investigate how it spreads: through air, contact, or droplets.
Only by figuring out these factors can we better prevent it.
Soon, Captain America walked in again, his expression urgent. He quickly approached Han Yu and Stark, saying, "It's bad. I've received news that at least ten people in S.H.I.E.L.D. are showing extremely obvious violent tendencies, and they occasionally reveal a bizarre smile. Furthermore, the few people who participated in the autopsy of Pierce's body are all dead. After their deaths, they all had their eyes wide open, with a bizarre smile stretching from the corners of their mouths to their ears!"
Hearing his words, Han Yu and Stark both felt a chill. Thinking about this death made them feel terrified and eerie.
"Use my authority to immediately seal off S.H.I.E.L.D. Gather all personnel from the floor where Pierce died, and investigate all the places they've been recently. Have people keep watch and put them on alert!" Han Yu immediately ordered.
As he spoke, he exuded an aura of authority. The pressure emanating from him caused both Captain America and Stark to shiver, surprised that Han Yu possessed such an imposing presence.
Captain America didn't waste any time. He took Han Yu's S.H.I.E.L.D. authority and immediately started issuing tasks within S.H.I.E.L.D. according to Han Yu's instructions.
The sudden state of alert left most people in S.H.I.E.L.D. somewhat bewildered, but when they heard that this was an order personally issued by Captain America, and that it came from the director's authority, although they didn't know the reason, they quickly made preparations.
Stark said seriously, "The only survivor of Pierce's dissection was Banner. Could it be because of the Hulk in his body?"
As he spoke, Stark looked at the Hulk, who was trapped in a cage and still raging. A strange smile played on his face, matching the description Captain America had just given exactly.
Seeing this, Stark shivered again. It was too terrifying.
"I think so. This virus makes people go insane, which speeds up their heart rate. Most people can't handle that kind of madness. They'll die in a few days from their heart rate being too high," Han Yu said.
It felt like someone who was extremely afraid of ghosts was constantly watching the most thrilling horror movies for twenty-four hours straight. The stimulation was something most people couldn't comprehend. Ordinary people, even just watching a horror movie, would be scared out of their wits. But imagine someone who was extremely afraid of ghosts, and was forced to watch horror movies for twenty-four hours straight.
It was simply not something a human could withstand!
"Right, Nick Fury and Natasha were there too!" Han Yu suddenly said.
Captain America shouted from outside the storeroom door, "Don't worry, I thought of that. I've had them quarantined!"
Hearing this, Han Yu was relieved because, with Nick Fury and Natasha's mental fortitude, they might actually be able to withstand it, only to have the Laughing Virus amplify their inner madness.
With their identities and skills, if they really wanted to cause trouble, they could really stir up a lot of things.
"We need to create an antidote serum, otherwise, it will cause great harm to the city," Stark said.
Han Yu nodded and said, "That's also why I'm looking for you."
"But if I have to do it alone, I'm not very good at it. Do you know anyone who knows about biology? We'll need a biological expert," Stark said.
Han Yu pondered for a moment, and a person suddenly popped into his mind.
Charles!
