Chapter 21: The Secret War VIII
"Yah, we have Hulk. www.biquge.info The middle-aged man with messy hair sitting in the back row repeated a sentence a little self-deprecatingly. That's right, he's Bruce Banner, and we used to call him Hulk......
Experienced adults can probably feel the bitterness in his smile, but children can't.
A carload of children turned their heads and ostentatiously shouted "Hulk!" to Banner. ~Hulk! ~" Faced with the children's anticipation, Bruce Banner could only stand up, put his arms around his chest in a menacing pose, and pretended to "Roar!! So a carload of children cheered loudly. I feel like a lion in a zoo," he whispered.
Sitting in the back row, there was a little girl in red who always looked indifferent, and seemed to hear what he said. The little girl first glanced coldly at the noisy bear children, and then sneered lightly.
"Alright boys, sit down now! We're almost in Seattle. The Boy Scout Commander who led the team hurriedly reassured the bear children, and by the way, cast a complaining and distrustful look at Banner. Apparently - they didn't welcome him in the car like the kids did.
In order to highlight the merit of "the U.S. military finally captured the Hulk", the official concealed the small matter that Banner had lost his ability to transform...... Only the warden knew that he had been "harmless".
Private school trips in the United States usually have four adults accompanying the children on a school bus β a driver, a Boy Scout officer, a handyman and a school doctor. However, during the attack on Pierce Prison, the school doctor was unfortunately hit by an alien stray bullet and was seriously injured. The school bus needed to hire a doctor temporarily, so the "Hulk", who volunteered to go to prison and was very popular with the children, got on the bus and drove towards Seattle together.
As for why "Hulk" is so popular with children - that's all the North American news.
Bruce Banner is a regular in the news, and kids can always see on TV what the Hulk smashed today...... In short, he is the kind of hero who often gets into trouble and is half-black and white. Of course, he has made a lot of messes himself, not so much as a hero, but a villain in reality. But there are as many people who love him as there are people who hate him, especially at this moment of alien invasion.
For example, Japanese children watch Ultraman fight monsters on TV all day long, but if aliens come one day, they may immediately see Ultraman and the little monsters fighting aliens together - even though Ultraman and the little monsters are both aliens...... In short, children can't tell the difference between animation and real action for the time being. Therefore, for the bad guys that often appear on TV, children usually subconsciously label them as "our bad guys".
At this time, if a third-party villain gets in, most children expect the hero to fight the third party with the "bad guys of our family"! And the TV station will also tactfully cater to the needs of children. That's why Bruce Banner is so popular.
Of course, for him, who has lost his superpowers, this expectation only brings heavy pressure! When the kids were quiet again, Banner sat back in the last row. He looked down at his large, scarred hands and fell silent again.
Losing his superpowers was like going through a divorce - he kept telling himself that it was the right choice. But occasionally, there is still a little bit of nostalgia. In order to fear his "recurrence", the U.S. military prepared a lot of videos for him recording the bad deeds of the Hulk, which could deepen his impression; But those "good things" that he did were also engraved in his memory like a knife.
At one point, Banner admits...... At most twice, he had searched for the anger in his heart. But it was empty, there was nothing, like a pile of burnt ashes.
Brooding Bruce Banner didn't notice that there was always a gaze on the side, quietly watching him.

"Boss, there's a school bus going through the encirclement. If we left them alone, the school bus would most likely be wrecked by the Zetari squad pursuing behind. But if we save the school bus, we will be detected by the follow-up Zetari fleet, and we will not be able to achieve the ambush effect. Misaka Hui of the pre-reconnaissance report.
"Leave the school bus alone, everything goes according to plan!" Lu Yuan walked away to stop the American team Rogers from interjecting, and continued, "No shots are allowed without my order!" After hanging up, he said directly to Rogers, "Don't worry, we have an old friend in the car." β
"Old friends?"
β¦β¦
"Ahhh~!! Alien! There are aliens in the back! The child sitting in the back row suddenly screamed, jumped up and shouted loudly.
"Where?" The Boy Scout chief hurriedly ran to the back of the car. In the long sky above the wasteland behind him, there were a few more black dots like flies flying. "Damn it...... Thompson, speed up! We're in trouble! He shouted at the driver. That kind of irregular flying thing like a fly, they had seen it during the attack on Pierce Prison, was a Zetari one-man flying machine!
Once caught up by this flying machine, the huge school bus is a target!
"We're speeding!" Thompson, the driver, shouted helplessly, he had done his best. "And we're still sixty kilometers from Seattle, and it's impossible to get in time anyway!"
ββ¦β¦ Thompson, you use the radio to try to call for reinforcements. Every adult left, pick up the gun! The Boy Scout Officer opened the weapons room, where there were several spears. He hesitated, but threw an Ithaca Type 37 ****** to Banner. "Children," the Boy Scout Chief said in a different tone, "remember our training?" I need you to hold your heads in your hands and hide yourselves under your seats. Next is to kick the alien's ass! Your job is to protect yourselves. β
"But we have the Hulk?" One of the children asked, confused.
"yes, we have the Hulk!" "Hulk! Hulk! Smash them! β
The focus shifted to the middle-aged man at the back of the car.
"That's right, I'm Hulk!" The man stood up with little hesitation, and said with his messy hair on his head, his expression mild and even a little shy. He walked to the back door with his ******, "Let me go, I'll try to get as much time as I can." β
The children cheered! Only a few adults understood what he meantβbecause Banner was talking about "buying time."
*****
The school bus came to a silent halt, then quickly left, its rolling wheels kicking up clouds of dust.
Leaving behind a sloppy man in a dusty and cheap suit, and a little girl in red, standing one behind the other on the empty interstate. The man didn't bother to pat the dust on his body, coughed and checked the ****** in his hand, and pressed the bullets into the chamber of the gun one by one. He didn't even notice that a little girl got out of the car with him.
Directly in front of them, a dozen black dots flying were getting closer and closer.
The girl in red stood spotlessly behind him, and suddenly said, "Actually, you can't become a Hulk anymore, can you?" β
"Huh?! Oh, God! When did you get off the bus? The sudden voice startled Banner! When he saw the little girl, he looked around in a panic, then pointed to the natural half-body bunker formed by a few rocks on the side and said, "Kid, go and hide over there!" Come on! β
But the girl in red was still staring at him quietly, her eyes full of questions, and she seemed indifferent to her own safety.
"Oh God! I also thought about having a child...... For your angel's sake! Bruce Banner had no choice but to abandon the original plan to lure the aliens to the other side after the little girl was hiding. However, he didn't think there was anything unusual about the little girl, he simply thought that she was frightened. Hearing that she was called an "angel", the little girl actually pouted unhappily.
"Come on! Alien ...... (Looking back at the little girl) aliens! Come to Daddy! Bruce Banner stares at the sky and pulls the trigger indiscriminately! At this distance, the Ithaca Type 37 ****** is not lethal except for making a lot of noise. But he managed to get the attention of the Zitari team.
Bruce Banner can be a biologist or a barefoot doctor, but he's a scumbag other than transforming. In his hand, it will never be better than a burning stick. So when he saw the Zetarians rushing over, he threw away the ******, picked up the little girl in red on the side and rushed towards the cover!
Bang bang bang! 's aircraft strafed artillery fire, blowing up a section of the intercontinental highway everywhere! The smoke and dust that kicked up well covered the trail of the two people.
"You still haven't answered my question?" "Ahem, cough, cough~ What did you say?" Banner looked at the little girl in his arms.
"I ask you, you can't transform into the Hulk anymore, can you?" The little girl's eyes widened in anger. Banner had only one thought at the moment, "Wow, this kid is so pretty!" βγ
"Yes, I've lost the ability to turn into the Hulk." Bruce Banner said frankly. He scanned his surroundings as he spoke. The little girl's bright red tutu made him pause. Banner quickly took off the dusty coat and put it on the girl's head, he patted the girl's head, and said gently, "Hide yourself for a while, and don't come out no matter what happens, okay?" β
"Then be my servant!" Who knew that the little girl actually grabbed his sleeve to stop him from leaving, and told him very seriously. "I am Remilia Scarlet, Lord of the Red Devil Pavilion! Swear allegiance to me, and I will give you the power to surpass the Hulk! PS: Don't call me Remi! β
Banner was a little crying and laughing, knowing that today's children sometimes can't tell the difference between the animated world and the real world. He didn't care about spending an afternoon playing with the girl if it was a normal dayβas long as the sheriff didn't trouble him. But not now, the smoke is about to clear, and he must steer the danger away before then!
"My princess, my highness, all you ask for is everything to me." Bruce Banner could only say quickly, "Remember to hide, I have to leave." But how did he know that the little girl's hand holding his clothes was surprisingly strong, so that he did not break free at once.
Hearing Banner's "pledge of allegiance" without hesitation, the little girl laughed happily despite the fact that the occasion was not so perfect and there was no musical accompaniment. She coughed and said with some embarrassment, "Well, that... My power has been sealed by the Demon King, that, that... I forgot to bring the crimson spear again. But as a vampire, no power is stronger than my blood! So... So..."
She blushed and closed her eyes, raised her little hand and raised a snowy index finger to Banner's mouth.
"You, you bite... Come on! I... I'm scared of pain. The last sentence is like a mosquito humming.
Outside the bunker, there was already artillery fire everywhere, but Bruce Banner smiled. He lowered his head and reverently put the finger on his forehead, "My lord Remi, I have received your blessing. β
"Don't call me... Call me... Remi. "Remi's resistance is as weak as a kitten. She could already feel the cover behind her vibrate violently under the strafing, and most of her strength as a vampire was sealed by Lu Yuan! At a critical moment, he can only rely on Banner to strengthen his strength. "Bite it!" She brought her finger to Banner's lips again, urging anxiously.
As long as he accepts her blood, Banner can become a vampire servant, and his strength will never be worse than that of the Hulks of the past.
"Da Da Da~", at this moment, Zetari's rapid-fire weapon swept overhead!
Bruce Banner held his hands on the top edge of the bunker, holding Remi firmly inside his body. Remi was unharmed, but three blood flowers burst out of his chest in succession, and the splatters of blood splashed onto the little girl's cheeks and stained her dress red.
Feeling the hot blood running down her cheeks, Remilia Scarlett was stunned!
"Banner?!"
"Hide your ......," Bruce Banner whispered his last words, slowly falling to his knees, but still hiding Remi firmly under his body.

ps: About the United States, it's not Lao Lei and nationalism. In the Marvel world, the government of the United States is so outstanding! 100 years of professional pit teammates! Anyway, no matter how serious the consequences of the conspiracy against the heroes of justice are, as long as the president comes forward to apologize and then remove a few people without pain, it will definitely be fine. On the contrary, he is a villain, who is always taken in by Midi after being imprisoned, and can continue to be free.
This time, I kicked to the iron plate and met a "righteous partner" who didn't play according to the routine, and that's it. (To be continued.) )
