Seemingly hearing a strange noise, the Hulk and Hemale Hulk simultaneously raised their heads and looked up at the sky. When they saw the steel block falling straight down, they immediately spread their arms, wanting to catch the steel block head-on.
"Have they completely lost their intelligence?" Tony was speechless when he saw that they didn't even try to dodge, and even tried to take the hit head-on. With his intelligence, he found it hard to tolerate such stupidity.
Natasha smiled gently: "They've probably been blinded by anger all along."
Gore, standing nearby, also had a strange expression: he had only intended to smash the ice blocks around the Hulk and She-Hulk, but since the Hulk and She-Hulk were so overconfident, he would "reluctantly" cooperate with them.
Gel moved his fingers slightly, controlling the chaos magic to change the direction in which the steel block fell.
"Boom! Crack!"
The moment the Iron Block slammed into the arms of the Hulk and She-Hulk, a deafening roar echoed through the space. At the same time, the ice beneath their feet shattered rapidly, and the Iron Block, the Hulk, and She-Hulk all fell into the water.
Next, Peter and the others sat and watched Ger's performance.
After several ups and downs, both the Hulk and She-Hulk returned to human form.
"Cough cough!"
Banner and Betty, soaking wet, lay on the ground coughing uncontrollably, as if trying to cough up all the water in their stomachs. At the same time, the cold ice surface they were in contact with made them instinctively try to get up, but they quickly fell back onto the ice.
Natasha, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but sigh, took off her down jacket, and covered Betty with it.
Gel opened the portal, retrieved two more down jackets, and handed them to Natasha and Banner respectively.
"Thank you." Banner took the down jacket from Gel and shakily put it on. From his missing memories and his current location, Banner knew that he must have just transformed into the Hulk. He could completely understand the look in Natasha and the others' eyes—a look filled with resentment and suppressed bitterness.
But what's with Betty, who's soaking wet just like him? Could it be...?
“Why is Betty here?” Banner looked at Gel, then at Natasha, and asked. He was afraid to hear the answer.
Betty also clearly noticed the way others were looking at her, and a terrible thought immediately popped into her head.
Natasha walked up to the two of them and whispered the truth: "Yes, for some reason, Betty also transformed into the Hulk. The two of you, as Hulks, along with Abomination, wreaked havoc in the city, causing countless deaths and injuries."
They'll find out about this sooner or later.
"No! No!" Banner looked at Betty beside him, and then thought of what Natasha had said, and immediately clutched his head in anguish.
Betty just sat there blankly, seemingly unable to accept the news at all.
Suddenly, Banner seemed to realize something and looked up at Natasha with a look of horror on his face: "Natasha, you must go to the lab and destroy all the blood I have stored there. I suspect that Abomination and Betty's transformations are due to contact with my blood."
"What? Your blood is in the lab?" By the time Natasha and the others arrived at the building opposite the lab, the operation to capture Banner had already begun, and Wanda had never used magic to sense the conversation between Banner and Dr. Stern, so they were completely unaware of this.
“Yes, for the past few years, I’ve been sending my blood to Mr. Blue, Dr. Stern of Green Academy, every now and then, asking him to help me research a way to eliminate the Hulk. Of course, I’ve always reminded Dr. Stern to destroy the blood after he finishes his experiments, but I never expected that he would keep all the blood samples and even concentrate and classify them.” Banner eagerly revealed the news that shocked everyone present.
“God! If this blood were taken by those with ill intentions, how many Hulks would be created?” Peter felt immense fear at the thought of it.
Natasha tapped her fingers, recalling the entire story of the Hulk incident, and came to a terrifying conclusion: General Ross must have known about the existence of this blood. Knowing this, he would undoubtedly have reported it further and sent people to remove the Hulk's blood from the lab. After all, the higher-ups had instructed S.H.I.E.L.D. to cooperate with General Ross in capturing the Hulk in order to obtain his blood to research the "super serum" and create "super soldiers."
Only Gerald and Tony simultaneously thought of the same thing. They exchanged a glance, both understanding that the other likely shared their concerns: Dr. Kurt and Ivan had been rescued during their transport. Such an organization must possess considerable power. Furthermore, their rescue suggested they were also interested in researching forbidden drugs or serums. Could they be involved in tonight's events as well?
"Report the laboratory's accurate latitude and longitude coordinates." Ger was startled, then immediately said to Natasha seriously.
Natasha quickly relayed the latitude and longitude coordinates that the agent had previously sent her to Gel.
Gel stretched out his hand forward, and dense chaotic magical energy surged in the direction in front of them, and then a spatial portal as tall as a person immediately opened up.
This portal led to a room in the building opposite Dr. Stern's laboratory, where Natasha and the others had stayed.
Ger and the others walked one after another to the broken window and looked at Dr. Stern's laboratory, where a raging fire was burning.
“The laboratory is on the second floor, and the main area of the fire is on the second floor. Judging from the burn marks on the corner of the wall, the fire has only recently spread to the first floor. In other words, the fire was started not long ago.” Natasha made the judgment immediately by looking at the corner of the wall on the first floor that had not yet been affected by the smoke and fire.
The riots in this neighborhood started first; if there had been a fire, it would have started long ago, not still burning now. It also doesn't make sense that General Ross sent people to take it away, since he had no reason to start a fire.
"Ger, check if there's any blood in the lab across the way," Natasha said to Ger, clinging to a sliver of hope. She hoped she was wrong, and that the fire in the lab might have been accidentally started.
Gel closed his eyes, flicked his fingers lightly, and the chaotic energy turned into wisps of gray mist that drifted into the laboratory opposite, which was emitting thick black smoke.
A moment later, Ger opened his eyes and shook his head at Natasha: "There is only a very small amount of blood left on the laboratory floor."
With the perception of chaos magic, he could sense even if the blood was charred.
Natasha sighed helplessly. At this point, there was only one possibility: other forces had intervened.
