"Dr. Stern, any news from Dr. Banner?"
Inside the laboratory, Li Chuan found Stern, who was researching the Super Soldier Serum, and asked.
Stern put down his microscope and patted his head:
"Oh, Boss, I was just about to tell you about this. I almost forgot once I started researching.
Mr. Green has some problems. He has been tracked by the Military and might arrive in New York a few days later."
"Tracked by the Military? Where is he now?"
Li Chuan frowned.
Logically, since he contacted Dr. Banner earlier, the situation where his blood dripped into factory beverage bottles, leading to S.H.I.E.L.D. discovering the clue and notifying General Ross for his capture, should not happen again.
Moreover, S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently struggling and cannot cooperate with General Ross to pursue Hulk again.
"In Virginia. He said he wanted to see his friend before coming to New York and retrieve some previous research data. As a result, he was targeted there," Dr. Stern explained.
"Virginia, friend."
Li Chuan thought for a moment and roughly guessed what happened.
It seemed that before Dr. Banner started dating Black Widow, he had a girlfriend named Betty Ross, who was also the daughter of General Ross, the Military official previously in charge of the Super Soldier Serum research.
She was a cytology expert and a Professor at Culver University in Virginia.
He estimated that something unexpected happened when Banner went to see Betty.
"Try to contact him. If you can, tell him that a friend will go to help him leave Virginia, and tell him not to transform unless absolutely necessary."
After instructing Stern, Li Chuan quickly left the laboratory.
"Xiao Liu, make arrangements. We need to go to Virginia."
"Yes, Boss!"
Xiao Liu, who was following Li Chuan, responded, took out his communicator, and skillfully arranged everything.
More than an hour later, Li Chuan's private jet landed at the airport in Virginia.
"It seems to be heavily blockaded."
On the way into Virginia City, Li Chuan saw many heavily armed U.S. soldiers through the car window, stopping vehicles leaving the city and conducting strict inspections.
He was nominally there to inspect the branch company in Virginia, but in reality, he was there to pick up Dr. Banner.
"According to intelligence from the branch, the entire city of Virginia was completely blockaded this morning. It's easy to get in, but getting out requires strict checks at multiple checkpoints. The official explanation is to apprehend a dangerous fugitive," Xiao Liu reported the information collected by the local person in charge to Li Chuan while driving.
Li Chuan nodded:
"Where is the Military's main search area now?"
"Culver University," Xiao Liu replied.
"Then go to Culver University."
The area where the Military is concentrating its search is most likely where Dr. Banner is hiding and active. As long as he keeps a close eye on the Military's movements, he will naturally find Dr. Banner.
If Dr. Banner can evade the Military's search and go to New York on his own, that would be best. If not, he must take him away before Banner transforms into Hulk.
Otherwise, once Hulk appears in the public eye and causes social uproar, many things will become difficult to manage.
"Bronski, have you still not found their traces?"
Inside the armored command vehicle, General Ross's tone clearly showed dissatisfaction.
Yesterday, he originally wanted to come here to see his daughter, who hadn't spoken to him for several years, and ease their strained father-daughter relationship.
However, before he even knocked on the door, he looked through the window and discovered Bruce Banner, whom he had been searching for for years.
Overjoyed, he immediately left quietly and mobilized all his elites overnight, intending to capture Bruce Banner in one fell swoop and research the mutated gene in his body, which was far more powerful than the Super Soldier Serum.
Unfortunately, before the capture operation in the early morning, the vigilant Bruce Banner sensed something amiss and escaped from the house with his daughter.
To prevent Bruce Banner from escaping again, he had no choice but to blockade the entire city and then call in Emil Bronski, the strongest warrior in the armed forces, to personally lead the capture.
However, even as a three-star U.S. Army General, he could not blockade a city for a long time and had to capture Bruce Banner before this evening.
"The area has been largely narrowed down. They won't be able to hide for long," Bronski's firm and confident reply came through the communicator.
"Remember, do not harm my daughter. Once found, directly use a tranquilizer gun to sedate Bruce Banner, and try not to injure him."
After General Ross put down the communicator, he couldn't help but curse:
"Damn S.H.I.E.L.D., failing at a critical moment!"
If he had S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence support and advanced reconnaissance equipment, he would have already located Bruce Banner and successfully captured him.
Unfortunately, when he contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. yesterday, they said they couldn't provide any assistance due to a special period.
"Target spotted. Location: Block 7. They are fleeing towards Block 8."
"All personnel, attention. Begin a shrinking encirclement of Block 7 and Block 8."
Li Chuan, standing on the roof of a building near Culver University, watched the U.S. soldiers suddenly surge towards Block 7 and Block 8, then took out a golden mask from his mission space and put it on his face.
"It seems they are there!"
With Chakra attached to his feet, Li Chuan used the roofs and walls of various buildings for leverage, quickly leaping towards the center of the U.S. soldiers' encirclement.
At this moment, in a narrow alley in Block 8, Banner pulled Betty and hid between two trash cans, breathing deeply, trying to calm his heart, which was beating faster from running.
Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to turn into Hulk, because Hulk was not under his control, and he was afraid that he would harm innocent lives after transforming.
"Bruce, we can't escape. This area is full of Dad's soldiers. Why don't you take me hostage? Maybe that will make him hesitate," Betty suggested, also panting.
They had just escaped to Block 8 when they found that this area was also full of soldiers. They were surrounded from all sides, and there were helicopters above them, so they had no choice but to find a crevice to hide in first.
"It's no use. Your Dad won't believe it, and no matter what, he won't give up on the genes in my body," Bruce shook his head, pondered for a moment, and finally looked at Betty:
"Betty, you go first. If this continues, I might be forced to lose control soon. When he comes out, he will hurt you!"
He didn't want to turn into Hulk, but this was not something he could decide. Once his life was threatened, Hulk would definitely appear.
In his eyes, Hulk was an irrational monster, and Betty would definitely be in danger if she stayed by his side.
