Scarlet-eyed rats, rotting dogs baring their ribs, and strange birds that seem to be cloaked in black mist.

They reacted as soon as they noticed the movement, rushing towards Esnosin and Banner in a frenzy, frantically hitting the glass with their bodies, and injuring themselves at all costs.

But the glass was so thick that there was more than one layer, and Banner could only hear a tiny fraction of the sound of their impact.

"If only the virus could give them great size and strength......"

"That's the disaster." Banner picked up the second half of the sentence.

"But don't worry too much, they can't leave here, the red queen is the boss here, as long as there is a little virus leak, she will clean the entire island with high temperature explosions and flames to ensure that the end of the world does not happen."

Banner's lips moved, and after a long speech, he said helplessly, "...... Wow, that's really not a worry. ”

So we have a lot of explosives under our feet right now?

I really don't know whether to cry or laugh.

In fact, after getting familiar with Ekaz's working environment, Banner also began to live in the laboratory every day, and talked to his girlfriend Betty on the Internet every day, telling her that he would solve his physical problems soon, and then leave here to reunite with her.

……

Warren regularly checked Worthing's lab for progress when he discovered Banner's experiment of infecting him with the T virus with his own cell samples, and a cold sweat slipped down his forehead.

I still remember that there was a very popular gunfight game when he was studying, and there was a kind of zombie called Bio Hulk.

So he told the red queen to be careful not to let the virus leak out.

As for Banner's research, let it be, as long as he doesn't conduct live experiments.

Warren, on the other hand, boarded a plane to Africa after the instructions.

He had a small gold mine over there, and the mining equipment that had been improved by Worthington's engineers had produced a lot of money, and he needed to collect a wave of gold coins.

In addition, he can stop by Wakanda, but the country that is still in lockdown probably does not want to meet him.

And one more thing, that is, to have friendly meetings with many countries and armed forces in Africa, and I will sell you equipment, weapons and other things that you need, but I will open gold mines here for you.

It remains to be seen how much will be negotiated, but the gold mine itself is an extremely important strategic resource for Warren and deserves such attention.

"Norman, the interests of the company have been seriously affected."

Looking at these fools who only know the interests of the shareholders' meeting, Norman Osborne is eager to put them down, and then step on their heads and explode one by one.

But now he even has a little difficulty walking, and he needs to be strong to appear in front of the public, and he has a short time to go out every day.

"The company has too many R&D projects and no results, and now Worthington is strongly crowding out us, and the company needs more powerful products."

Norman replied with an annoyance but a calm voice: "Research is the only way to success." ”

"But there are some roads that can be abandoned, and they have no light at the end of the tunnel."

……

Although Norman eventually suppressed the opinions of the shareholders, the business of the Osborne Group has been greatly affected by the fact that it is now under great influence.

Warren Worthington, the young man who often flew over New York in a high-profile manner, did a good job, in every way.

"Harry will be so great when he grows up."

Norman thought of something, and smiled rarely, but in an instant it was replaced by a haze.

"This genetic disease rooted in the bloodline can't take my life from Norman Osborn, let alone Harry's!"

After the meeting, he went to a hidden laboratory.

"Max, how effective is the GR-14?"

A middle-aged man hanging on the Morgan Max name tag replied with the experiment report: "GR-14 failed, but from its failure I have made a major discovery, GR-15 has been prepared, and animal experiments have been conducted, all the experimental data are very perfect, and now only the last step is missing......"

"I see."

The final step is human experimentation.

There was good news, and Norman Osborne left satisfied, and before leaving, he said, "The volunteers will be there soon." ”

Although it was impossible for the unreported lab to recruit volunteers in the normal way, it was not a problem for him, Norman Osborne.

After leaving the lab, he immediately ordered his men to do something, and then went to another lab himself.

As soon as he came in this time, there was a thick puff of black smoke, which made him cough.

"Octavis!"

There was some anger in his voice.

"Sorry, something went wrong."

A middle-aged man who was a little bald and a little chubby took off his equipment and got off the test bench, turned off the power, and the electric sparks on the equipment finally stopped.

One of Norman Osborne's many investments here, Otto Octavius, was once his friend, a man who was incredibly clever but often failed.

Fortunately, he had a successful life in Norman Osborne, and could fund his research, of course, because they had a common destiny and a common goal.

"Looks like you've failed again."

Otto's body shuddered, but he pretended nothing had happened.

"Neural calculations are too complex, energy supply is also an issue, and it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement." He explained.

“……”

Norman wanted to lose his temper as usual, but the good news from Morgan Max's side diluted his anger.

"Hopefully I'll see you succeed next time I come, even if it's just once."

Looking at the back of Norman Osborne's departure, Otto clenched his fists, and then released weakly.

Once they were friends, now he's just a dog whose owner doesn't get scolded when he's in a good mood.

Dignity, self-confidence, all these things were left behind, because no one but Norman Osborne could bear his failures again and again.

Because they share the same fate.

……

Destiny?

Martin Lee didn't believe much of that kind of thing, he was an orphan whose parents died when he was very young, and he only remembered his father as a man who loved to tell horror stories and amuse children.

So when he later established an underground force with the funding of Norman Osborne to help him deal with some shady things, he named the gang 'The Heart Demon Gang'.

It's the same name as the only thing he remembers, the demon mask in his father's story.

From Overwatch to ordinary prison, the dignified gangster will not have any preferential treatment here, because now even his backing financier, Norman Osborne, cannot afford to offend Overwatch.

"It's time to eat."

Well?

He sensed something was wrong, a little bit earlier.

As the leader of the gang, he was held in solitary confinement, and a dinner plate was handed in.

'Please enjoy the mashed potatoes'

There is such a note on it.

So he picked up the mashed potatoes and found that there was a key in them, but fortunately he didn't eat them.

The door opened, and he poked his head out to check his surroundings, and there seemed to be a fierce battle outside.

"Hey!"

A prison guard saw him.

As Martin Lee pondered how to finish off the guy, the guards threw over a package.

He peeked into a corner and found a prison guard's outfit inside.

"Huh."

Martin Lee smiled, Norman Osborne hadn't forgotten himself.
