Chapter 58: Another Collaboration
"Does this really work?"
Banner in the mirror pinched his face, full of incredulity:
"I don't even recognize myself, do you call this makeup?
It's a facelift! β
"No, it's makeup."
Oakes was cleaning up the bottles and cans on the table, as well as various gadgets, and was quite proud when he heard this:
"You know, the makeup technology of the Rendekai can make up elves into fishmen...... Ahem, I mean, it's just a temporary change of appearance with a unique potion.
If Dr. Banner turns into Hulk the next time, it won't work when you change back. β
ββ¦β¦ Well, as long as it's not the kind of human skin mask depicted in novels and movies.
And I really can't miss the feeling when I transformed-
It was as if someone had poured a liter of LSD into my head.
If I could have remained as conscious as you did when you transformed, maybe I wouldn't have resisted that power at all. β
Banner patted his face with emotion, and suddenly his face changed, and he realized a very serious problem:
"Then again, does that mean I won't be able to wash my face from today?!"
"Uh...... Just a small inconvenience, I believe you can overcome -
By the way, you can use a moisturizing mask appropriately to maintain the comfort of the potion coating, but don't wear it for too long. β
Oakes rubbed his chin with a strange expression, and stuffed the makeup materials and utensils into the cabinet:
"Don't worry, even the world's most advanced facial recognition system won't want to recognize you now."
Banner shrugged, left the mirror, and sat down on the couch with emotion:
"Thank you so much, Oakes, or I wouldn't have been able to move an inch, let alone find a place to live."
"Otherwise, you can join my company, Oaktree Environmental Technology, as a partner."
Oakes brought the coffee, poured two cups, sat down across from Banner, and said with a smile:
"You should understand the truth that the lights are dark, and even the military will not pay attention to me here."
"You mean S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Banner frowned slightly, Oakes's benevolence would be attached to S.H.I.E.L.D., he figured it out before he came, but he still came to find Oakes.
Because he understands very well that Oakes and him are "one kind of person".
Just like Banner and the military, Oakes and S.H.I.E.L.D., it's possible to cooperate, but they will never sell themselves to each other.
However, Oakes apparently handled his relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. much better than he did with the military.
Well, Banner was cheated by his own father-in-law, so there is no way.
"Oaktree Environmental Technology and Rende Society are two different things, not affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D., and are completely independent scientific research companies."
Oakes shook his head:
"And my identity as an environmental advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D. is also completely independent, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has no command over me."
Banner nodded knowingly, in that case, it was ......
"Remember when you said that home is the only castle, and continue to run with the Daoxiang River~"
The phone rang, Oakes answered, and hung up after a few words.
"Let's go, Dr. Banner, Tony's promised gamma-ray research equipment is in place.
What you want is too professional, and if you want to install and debug, you must be present in person. β
"Huh? It really just took a day! β
Banner's eyes widened, when he worked with the military before, General Ross's side was not so efficient!
But thinking that the opposite is Tony Stark, who has been in the limelight recently, he is a little relieved.
"Okay, your mobile phone ringtone is very interesting, and I'm also interested in your environmental technology company."
β¦β¦
When Oakes and Banner went to the Little Rainforest headquarters, in New York, in the laboratory of the Department of Cell Biology at Gebang College, there was a nervous low laugh.
"'Had to seek the help of another miracle'? Mr. Green, Mr. Green, you have disappointed me. β
In a laboratory filled with specimen cabinets, Dr. Samuel Stern is lying in front of a computer, gritting his teeth and analyzing a set of data.
"Coward! Mr. Green, you're just a coward! β
Dr. Stern is Banner's netizen who sent blood samples for analysis.
"This is a great work that would have made us, nay, get me the Nobel Prize.
And what 'miracle' are you going to turn to? β
He slammed it on the keyboard with a "bang", because the analysis of this set of data ended in failure again:
"All you need to do is provide me with the raw log data of the experiment!
But what does 'miracle' mean? Occultism? Oh, God? Buddha? Allah? Or Allah?! β
Grabbing a head of curly hair with both hands and rubbing it vigorously, Samuel Stern struggled to contain his restlessness.
"No, I have to get that data, as for Mr. Midori...... It would be enough to have his blood, and I would definitely be able to complete this research! β
"Mr. Midori said that the study was done in collaboration with the military...... Gamma ray ......"
Although his specialty is cell biology, Dr. Stern clearly has a lot of other avenues.
Within a few days, he followed this clue and made a phone call to General Ross, who was increasingly anxious because of the loss of Hulk's information.
"What did you say?!"
When General Ross figured out what Dr. Stern's purpose was, he immediately realized that this was a wonderful opportunity.
Because of the Hulk affair, the Super Soldier program he insisted on was already under a lot of pressure, and if nothing came of it, he would probably be forced to shut down the project entirely.
And the ace special forces Bronsky, who was directly disabled by fighting Hulk before, although his injuries healed greatly because of the incomplete serum injected into Banner, he was obviously restless because there was no news of Hulk.
General Ross's spicy gaze can be seen at a glance that Bronski is not exactly a soldier now-
He had already disobeyed orders many times, and now his inner thirst for power was being amplified by the unfinished serum!
Moreover, in terms of power data, it is not the same dimension as Hulk at all.
There are many other drawbacks to this unfinished serum, otherwise, would General Ross still need to find Banner to study it?
"I've destroyed the experimental data...... But of course I still have a copy in my hand. β
The corners of General Rose's mouth curled slightly, and he was satisfied to hear Dr. Stern's breathing on the phone seem to become heavy with his words:
"Not only that, but I'll be able to provide you with a perfect sample of the experiment - a sample that uses almost the same experimental process as that 'Mr. Green'."
"It's amazing...... It will be a triumph for science, General, and I can fully cooperate with the military's research and operations, with only one requestβ"
Dr. Stern's voice trembled:
"The authorship of this study must belong to me!"
General Ross raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly:
"Deal, then Dr. Stern, happy cooperation!"
