22. Containment: 05084-2(1/2)
A few days later, at the explosion site, the ruins on the ground were being cleaned up by large machinery, but the explosion area was still surrounded by warning belts, and staff wearing white chemical protection suits were walking around.
This scene alone is enough to make ordinary people feel scared.
But there are still people who are not afraid of death wandering around...
Well, a group of reporters.
"It has been four days since the explosion in the nuclear physics laboratory in New Mexico, but we still have not received any response from the official, except for the first statement issued by the State University."
The famous reporter Louise Liann grabbed the microphone and pointed at the camera in front of her. Behind her was the explosion scene that was being processed.
This beautiful, popular investigative reporter said to the camera in a very professional tone:
"State University claims that the explosion was just an accident, and was caused by a dangerous leak of chemical equipment. But we consulted many professionals who said the statement was simply untenable."
"In addition, our reporter interviewed many evacuated people. More than one person told our reporters that on the night of the explosion, they saw with their own eyes a hemispherical energy field distributed around the explosion site, and there were also beating sparks. Some more extreme locals believed that the explosion was related to aliens, and of course, someone told our reporters that the laboratory where the explosion occurred was related to the military."
"This reporter also found the video taken by the public when the evacuation was evacuated that night..."
Miss Louise put forward several assumptions, which sound absurd, but they are enough to arouse the interest of news readers and allow this news hotspot that has begun to decline to remain popular for a period of time.
After saying the gossip, the on-site report came to an end. The report turned back to the news live room far away in New York. Miss Lian winked at Clark Kent, who was carrying the camera, who turned off the camera immediately.
"Oh, another day without gain."
Miss Lian'en's face collapsed. She threw the microphone aside in annoyance and complained to her assistant Clark:
"We all know that there is something behind this, but we can't find any evidence. In an explosion in a nuclear physics laboratory, there were only a few unlucky guys who fell and injured because they ran away too quickly, and there were no casualties... How could this be possible!"
The famous reporter waved his fists and said to Clark:
"It must be the official who covered the truth. You have watched that video, Clark, the hemispherical energy field in that dark night... that cannot be explained."
"Uh, if technology cannot explain..."
Clark said to his new girlfriend with a helpless look on his face:
"You can probably think of it as magic."
"Magic? Are you kidding? Clark."
Miss Lianen looked at her loyal and reliable assistant and boyfriend in surprise, and she said:
"Do you, a war correspondent who has seen life and death, still believe in that?"
"The problem is, it's real, although I can't come up with evidence."
Clark looked around and he reached over Louise's shoulder and said to Louise:
"Okay, don't be upset. Don't you want to go into the scene to see it? I just found a place where the guards are very weak. Maybe we can sneak in tonight."
"It's been 4 days, Clark."
Louise said in annoyance:
"Even if there is any evidence inside, they must have been cleared away. It's a hell! I've never seen the official follow-up work so fast... There must be other institutions we don't know intervening. Maybe it's the mysterious S.H.I.I heard from some colleagues that they have a department that specializes in dealing with such incidents."
Clark's expression became weird. His new girlfriend was good at everything, but she was a little too persistent in the news.
Clark stood outside the blocked area, and he didn't need to look at it to smell the sulphur smell left by Merlin's special magic. This matter must have been handled by Merlin himself.
He was also a non-staff agent of SHIELD in theory. He knew very well that this matter must have something to do with supernatural affairs. He wanted to persuade Louise not to intervene in this matter, but obviously, he could not persuade Louise.
If Louise was really so stubborn, perhaps not long before the agents of SHIELD would come to visit her door and use a forgetful spell as a "gift" from Merlin.
It's embarrassing to be friends on one side and girlfriend on the other.
Well, I have to think of a way to divert Louise's attention.
Thinking of this, Clark's ears moved a little, and he activated his super hearing. Soon, a steady stream of sound rushed into Clark's ears.
A few minutes later, Clark, with a serious face, found Louise and whispered:
"Louise, don't waste time here, my informant sent me a message, let's go to Mexico!"
"There is big news over there! The kind that will definitely satisfy you, but it may take some time, and it is a bit dangerous."
————————————————————
Just as the famous reporter Miss Louise Liann was half-pulled and half-coaxed to Mexico by Clark, an interrogation, uh, no, a conversation was going on in the Pagasos base in S.H.E.L.D.
Colson and Lincoln sat at the interrogation table, on the chair in front of them, with a haggard face of Bruce Banner sitting there.
He had been awake for 3 days, but he had not regained consciousness until today.
"Name!"
Colson looked at the scientist who was like a patient in front of him and asked.
Bruce Banner rubbed his forehead and said in a weak tone:
"Uh...Bruce, Bruce Banner."
"age!"
“31 years old.”
"Do you still have any impression of what happened 4 days ago? Do you have anything to say to us about your accident in the lab, about the gamma ray generator, about the 'biocell technology enhancement project' you are responsible for?"
Colson asked, beside him, Agent Lincoln was operating a medical device and was always paying attention to Bruce Banner's various physical indicators. Once he had violent emotional fluctuations, the inquiry would be cancelled immediately.
In the face of Colson's inquiry, Banner, who applied for haggardness, looked up at him, and Banner said:
"Without authorization, I can't tell you anything about this research. But about my surprise...I only remember, light."
"Light?"
Colson asked in confusion:
"What kind of light?"
"The green...light is everywhere, I'm trapped in the laboratory cabin..."
Banner curled up in the chair, as if recalling some horrible things, and he said in a low, bleak voice:
"There was a problem with a part, and the laboratory cabin couldn't be opened... Betty wanted to help, but when the laboratory cabin was closed, I didn't know who started the machine... It was also possible that it detected the opening command. In short, there was light everywhere, green, like a fist hitting me... it hurts..."
Banner's breath became heavy, his eyes became blank, and he seemed to be back in the incident that night, he said:
"I saw Betty being dragged away from the laboratory by the general, and everyone was in a hurry. I was very scared... I felt like I was about to die... I had thought about death before, but I never knew it. It turned out that before death... it was so scary..."
"Drip, drip, drip"
The medical equipment in front of Agent Lincoln issued a harsh warning. Colson quickly grabbed the sedative potion used by the witch hunters on the table, and pricked it on Banner's arm. The scientist's expression had begun to twist. Obviously, those painful memories of dying made another soul in his body not very peaceful.
As the silver liquid was injected into Banner's body, his ferocious expression quickly calmed down, and then his head tilted, leaned against the chair and fell asleep.
"Sir, do you still want to continue?"
Colson looked back at the one-way transparent window behind him, and Merlin shook his head on the other side of the glass, and said to Colson:
"No need to continue, you guys come out. I'll ask after he wakes up."
After saying that, Merlin turned his head to look at Nick Fury standing beside him. Director Lue egg still had the cold expression of the whole world owing him money. He was wearing his black windbreaker and staring at Bruce Banner who was sleeping in the interrogation room with his one-eye.
He was thinking, obviously.
"The Ministry of Defense is asking for people, right?"
Merlin asked:
"It's not just Bruce Banner, but also General Thaddeus and his daughter who were taken into custody by us... what are you going to do?"
"Pearce told me that you don't need to worry about the Ministry of Defense."
Fury said:
"This time they made mistakes first. The World Security Council intends to take advantage of this and issue a new, rule on the supernatural research project. The soldiers of the Ministry of Defense are certainly unhappy, but this time, no one will support them... those bastards almost ruined a city with more than 100,000 people."
"Um."
Merlin nodded and said:
"Banner definitely can't give it to them. You've watched that video. Once this guy is released, it's only a matter of minutes to destroy a city. I suspect that our existing weapons can't hurt him at all, and his infinitely growing power... is very tricky."
"I plan to contain him as 084 items, and I think Banner will agree to this problem."
"He is a scientist, he is wise enough, he can understand why we do this... General Ross and his daughter will be handed over to you. Fury, it's best to send that bastard to a military court. If you can't do it, it's good to take off his rank and not let him cause trouble for us. The first time I saw Old Ross, I knew that that guy was not a sedate person. He longed for war, he was the kind of person who needed to fight to survive."
Merlin said:
"If there is no war, he will create war for himself."
"Don't think about the military court."
Fury looked at the wrist watch and said:
"Thaddeus is a soldier with outstanding meritorious deeds. He has made a lot of contributions to this country and has a wide network of contacts. You handled this well, and did not cause casualties and added points to him, so I guess he will eventually be idle."
"As for Betty Rose."
Fury said:
"I was wondering if she was going to recruit her into our system. Her knowledge and wisdom might help us unravel the secrets of "Hulk". I heard that she and Bruce Banner or lovers' relationship?"
