Druid's Marvel Travels

Chapter 56 New Research Topics
Although it seems that he was beaten by Nick Fury and joined the Avengers, Oakes is very clear about his position.

This was originally one of his goals, but he couldn't tell that old fox to Nick Fury.

It seems that he was fooled by his impassioned principles, so the black bald can rest assured.

But as Black Baldy said, at this stage, the Avengers is just a plan. Before the real crisis comes, it will not be activated as if it does not exist.

Therefore, there is no talk of the Avengers now.

But Oakes could clearly feel that the support he received from S.H.I.E.L.D. had improved by more than one notch.

This is the benefit of the quasi-Avenger.

Right now, Oakes is reading a book seriously at the Emerald Dream Green Plant Store.

"The Vanishing Gaia: The Final Warning", the author is the mad scientist "James Lovelock" who proposed the "Gaia Hypothesis".

"Tsk, the finger is directed at the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the rhetoric is getting more and more pessimistic."

As a well-known environmental non-profit organization, works on environmental protection concepts naturally need to be carefully studied.

This book was once evaluated by the "Nature" magazine as reading this book "like hearing the BBC announce the end of the world".

But for the Rendehui, which needs to develop rapidly, this book is undoubtedly in line with their tone of action.

"Although Mr. Lovelock is ninety years old, he still has such a straightforward temper. He directly scolded the "Kyoto Protocol" as a joke, really..."

In March 2001, the United States withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol, which did make it a joke.

"It seems that we have to find time to visit this 'World Environmental Science Master'."

Oakes was thinking silently when he received a text message on his cell phone.

Taking out his mobile phone and taking a look, Oakes' originally peaceful expression immediately became serious.

He put down the book, walked quickly to the store door, hung up the rest sign, locked the door, and then jumped out through the transom in the form of an orange cat.

In the alley next to the green plant shop, a figure in a hoodie was leaning against the wall, looking around vigilantly from time to time.

"Meow~"

A fat orange cat with a big face jumped onto the shoulder of the man in the hood, startling him.

"Wow!"

He shivered, and was about to reach out to drive away, but he heard a familiar voice from his shoulder:

"Long time no see, Dr. Banner, let's go inside and talk."

"..."

The man in the hood——Bruce Banner's eyes widened, and then he smiled wryly:

"You didn't tell me that you can also become a cat."

"You didn't ask?"

The two came to the back door of the Emerald Dream, and Banner took out the key that Oakes had given him, opened the door, walked into the house, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not easy...huh? What a great air!"

Oakes jumped off Banner's shoulder, turned back into a human form, and carefully looked at Banner who was enjoying the fresh air:
"Dr. Banner, I heard that you suspected to have entered the United States, but I didn't expect you to come to me directly."

Did he not find a girlfriend?

"You know my whereabouts?"

Banner was taken aback when he heard the words, Oakes shrugged:

"My current status is a bit... special. I heard someone talk about Rio a while ago."

"That's really special, isn't it in danger?"

Banner was a little nervous. Oakes' ability was more exaggerated than him. If the military knew about it...

"It's okay, I'm a bit of a backstage no matter what I say now, don't worry about me."

Oakes took Banner to the rest area to sit down and poured him a cup of coffee:
"Dr. Banner, those potions are gone? How do you feel now?"

"Very good... oh thank you, the coffee is delicious."

Banner raised his eyebrows, a smile finally appeared on his haggard face:
"With those potions, I can finally achieve a certain degree of self-control."

Having said that, he sighed, and his face became gloomy again:

"I originally wanted to avoid the military's pursuit in Rio, but an accident made them find me...

It's ridiculous that they sent an elite group to encircle and suppress me, but that's in Brazil, and abroad, the U.S. military is like visiting their own back garden. "

Thinking of the way "old father-in-law" General Ross looked at him, Banner felt chills——

This gamma ray experiment was a scam by General Ross from beginning to end!

Banner just thought he was researching anti-radiation drugs.

And after that accident, the U.S. military finally found him who had been on the run for several years, but now he can already control his own power!

Originally, Banner still wanted to escape, but General Ross directly threatened him with the beverage factory workers he worked for, so he had to give it a go.

The ace of the U.S. military's operation this time, the ace special soldier Emil Bronsky was almost disabled by the Hulk.

And Banner, who protected the factory from the U.S. military, was in a relatively stable state with Hulk, and fluctuated again.

Because Oakes' potion had been consumed, Hulk's brisk battle once again aggravated the blood activity that had been suppressed by the potion.

"Originally, I contacted a netizen 'Mr. Lan' in Rio, and sent him a blood sample, in order to find another way to suppress the transformation."

Holding a coffee cup, Banner told Oakes about his efforts during this period:
"But Mr. Lan's method doesn't work. In order to improve the success rate, he must also obtain the original data of the experiment that caused my mutation.

But getting that data means I have to meet Betty again..."

Banner put down his coffee cup and covered his face with his hands in pain:
"But I'm not just Bruce Banner now, Hulk has become a part of me..."

After a long silence, he put down his hands, with a resolute look on his face:

"I can't affect Betty's life again...I have to make a break with the past!"

"So, you thought of me here."

Oakes nodded knowingly. It seemed that Dr. Banner had finally calmed down and thought carefully about his mode of getting along with Hulk.

"Yes, Oakes, I figured it out."

Banner nodded solemnly:

"Hulk is another me, I... can't destroy myself."

Since dual personalities and shared bodies cannot be expelled, it is better to live in peace.

Banner is still Banner, and Hulk is still Hulk, but they already have a common small goal——

In their respective forms, the consciousness of the other party can remain awake.

"But we have exhausted the purification potions, and we can barely reach this state a few times."

Banner looked at Oakes seriously:
"The feeling of being forced to sleep is really bad, for me, for Hulk.

Dr. Oakes, I, no, we, need your help. "

It means that Banner and Hulk have reached an agreement to be each other's grandfather?
Oakes' eyes lit up, and his interest grew:
"Interesting...then Dr. Banner, happy cooperation!"
