In Zed's private workshop at Illusion Dream Company, Skye was furiously typing away at her keyboard, while Xin rested in Zed's arms.
Seeing Skye so busy, Zed asked, "Is the homework Xiajiao gave you that difficult?"
Skye's hair was a mess, her eyes were red, and her voice trembled slightly: "This stuff is just too complicated! I don't know how Dan Kuroto did it? And this Golden Eye, I can't even understand it! It's completely beyond current programming technology!"
Zed saw that Skye was a bit discouraged, so he encouraged her, "It's okay! Take your time! We have plenty of time! After Xiajiao passes the test, I'll have Xiajiao get you a brand new set of equipment. How about that?"
After being comforted and encouraged by Zed, Skye's mood clearly stabilized. Relaxing, she asked Zed, "We haven't had any special training for so long. How are you going to help me awaken my power? I can't activate the Driver without awakening my powers!"
"After this period passes, we'll find a chance to go on a trip and take care of it," Zed said casually.
It wasn't that Zed was just brushing Skye off. Activating Inhuman superpowers was quite troublesome, and just having the Obelisk wasn't enough.
Skye's abilities had to be activated inside an underground temple in Puerto Rico. The specific location in Puerto Rico still needed to be found slowly. After all, Zed only remembered a general idea. This matter really couldn't be rushed.
Beep... Beep... Beep...
A message popped up on Skye's laptop. Zed knew it was a Golden Eye avatar left in the laptop by Dan Kuroto. It only connected when the Mainframe detected something major.
"Check it out," Zed said to Skye.
Skye used the laptop to connect to the Illusion Dream Company's Golden Eye Mainframe and read the information:
"The military is moving into New York! They're calling it a military exercise! But it's definitely fake, those guys love to pull this kind of stuff!"
Zed recalled which Marvel events involved the military entering New York and asked Skye:
"If it's a military exercise in name only, can you find out who the commander is?"
"No problem! I've been wanting to try this out for a while, and with Setron's help, I can definitely hack in!" Skye licked her lips excitedly.
The Setron Skye mentioned was the mass-produced AI that came with the next-generation Setron combat vehicle. Although not as good as the unique Mr. Belt, its raw data performance was even more powerful than Mr. Belt's, thanks to the support of future technology.
Zed, the name-giver, just called it Setron. Dan Kuroto naturally wouldn't let such a good helper go, so he immediately opened up the permissions of the company's computer, allowing Setron to move in and help him with his research.
The Golden Eye Mainframe in the company was already being handled by Setron. With its help, Skye easily entered the military's database.
"Found him! Thaddeus Ross! It's him! He's the one in charge of this military operation!"
Skye entered the military database for the first time and came out without anyone noticing. Skye was now extremely excited; she finally experienced the feeling of being a top-tier hacker.
Zed pondered about Ross and the Hulk. That guy Ross definitely wouldn't be at peace, and there were also conflicts between the Hulk and Banner. Getting the Hulk to activate the Driver obediently wouldn't be easy.
Xin reached out and stroked Zed's brow, hoping to help him relieve some stress.
In the company's internal hall, Zed, Skye, Xin, Dan Kuroto, and Woz were all gathered here.
Dan Kuroto spoke first: "What's the situation with the military that Golden Eye found? They suddenly started military exercises. Is something big about to happen again?"
Zed instructed Setron to pull up the intelligence files, then said,
"Thaddeus Ross! That old man is a pain! But his appearance means the Hulk is about to arrive in New York! Honestly, facing the Hulk, I have no way to deal with him besides the Cronus Driver."
Skye had only seen Zed fight on the monitors, and in her eyes, Zed's power was already off the charts. That someone could make Zed say something like that… Skye asked incredulously,
"This Hulk, is he strong?"
"It's not a matter of whether he's strong! He really is… one of a kind. His eyes are like green beans, his nose is like a black hole, and his whole body is green. He's invincible when he gets angry."
Pfft~ Haha~ Haha~ Ew~
Zed's description didn't give them a clear picture of the Hulk, and instead, left them even more puzzled.
Zed could only express his helplessness and said directly,
"Xiajiao, get me a few prize tickets. I need to get Charlie and the others out of New York first. Then I have to solve the problem of making the Hulk activate the Driver. Ugh, my power is still not enough!"
"No problem. Is there anything else we need to pay attention to?" Dan Kuroto was very meticulous in his work.
Zed stroked his chin and said: "Thaddeus Ross, Abomination, and Samuel Sterns are the three people we need to focus on. Ross might be eyeing our Rider System and take action against us. Let Abomination fight the Hulk. As for Sterns, we need to pay special attention to him."
After Zed finished speaking, he lay back on Xin's lap and took out the Cronus Driver, but he was thinking about Peter's Driver. He had to enter the Mirror World quickly; the appearance of the Hulk gave Zed a small warning.
At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Deputy Director Maria Hill was reporting to Nick Fury. Deputy Director Hill held a stack of files and said, "General Ross's operation in Brazil failed. These materials are the destruction records of that green monster."
Bang!
A large number of files landed on the desk with a loud noise. Although this destructive power was not as strong as the Hulk's, it was equally troublesome for Nick Fury.
Nick Fury clasped his hands together and said, "Have we found the blue man who contacted Dr. Banner?"
"Cellular biologist, Professor Samuel Sterns of Grayburn College." Deputy Director Hill's answer was always so concise and clear, "General Ross wants S.H.I.E.L.D. to cooperate with him to capture the target."
"Motherfucker! Cooperate? Ross is crazy! He's been hounding Banner, even driving him to New York! And he wants us to help him? Help him reenact the battle in New York? I actually hope Professor Sterns can cure Banner's problem now." Nick Fury vented his dissatisfaction with Ross.
Subsequently, Nick Fury decided on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s stance on the matter:
"Don't worry about Ross. Give Dr. Banner the green light to meet with Professor Sterns, and protect their communication channels from being discovered by Ross. Also, send people to retrieve some Hulk serum."
"Yes, sir!"
On the other side, Banner, who had just caused a ruckus in Brazil, was sneaking back into the United States from Panama.
Years of exile had long since erased the frailty of a researcher from Dr. Banner. Even without transforming into the Hulk, the normal Banner could be considered a strong, ordinary person.
With his belongings in tow, he blended into a group of refugees attempting to sneak across the border. Banner was somewhat lost, but Dr. Sterns was his only hope. If he wanted to be with his girlfriend, Elizabeth, he had to solve the Hulk problem.
Banner looked at Elizabeth, who was holding his arm tightly, and cast aside the last bit of his confusion. This trip to New York was a must.
After a bumpy journey, the two arrived in the suburbs of New York. Banner contacted Professor Sterns from a public phone booth, "I'm in New York, where should I meet you!"
On the other end of the phone, Samuel Sterns was very excited about Banner's arrival, excitedly saying, "Grayburn College! I'll be waiting for you in the lab here, I'll prepare the experimental equipment right away!"
After Banner hung up the phone, he looked back at Elizabeth, about to say something, but Elizabeth preempted him, "Don't worry! Banner! It will definitely work! Don't give up!"
"Yeah!"
Banner placed Elizabeth's hand on his cheek, drawing a lot of encouragement from it. The two of them hailed a taxi and headed towards New York City.
"Where are the two guests going?"
"Grayburn College."
"Hold on tight, Modiphius is at your service!"
At the same time, General Thaddeus Ross sat beside Emil Blonsky's hospital bed, looking at this once spirited, now disheveled, excellent soldier.
Blonsky was no longer young, and his physical functions had begun to decline. But the problem was now more serious; Blonsky couldn't stand up.
Blonsky asked Ross in despair, "What kind of monster is that? Our troops are like toys in front of it."
Ross pondered for a moment and asked Blonsky, "Have you fallen? Did that monster knock you down?"
Blonsky finally couldn't help it and roared at Ross: "What can I do? I can't stand up anymore! Do you think I don't want revenge? Do you think who caused all of this?"
"I can make you stand up again! As long as you're willing!"
Ross's words were like a devil's temptation, entering Blonsky's heart. Blonsky widened his eyes and said: "I'm willing! No matter the cost! As long as I can stand up again!"
Ross nodded with satisfaction, signaling the soldiers to take out a vial of reagent, which was a replica of Dr. Erskine's Super Soldier Serum.
Ross held the vial and reminded him, "This vial isn't perfect; it has many shortcomings."
Ross hadn't finished speaking when Blonsky interrupted, "I! Don't care!"
Seeing the determination in Blonsky's eyes, Ross didn't say more and ordered the medical staff to give Blonsky a spinal injection.
Aaaaaah~~~~
Blonsky's screams could be heard throughout the medical room. Not only could he feel the pain, but he could also feel new power growing within him. While screaming, Blonsky started to laugh.
A little laughter mixed with the screams, unnoticed by anyone.
