Chapter 58: The Abomination Appears
Chapter 58: The Abomination Appears
As the four of them strolled along, the sky gradually grew darker.
"The steak and cake at our school cafeteria are fantastic. I'll take you there to try them later!"
Miss Berry pointed to a nearby building, suggesting it with a hint of pride.
Since entering Grayborn Academy, Miss Berry seemed to have returned to her college days, her demeanor becoming youthful and lively once more.
"Of course, no problem!"
Hass's face lit up with a slightly contented smile.
Belle's youthful charm had managed to break through the defenses of his old heart.
Indeed, men of all ages seemed to have a soft spot for eighteen-year-olds.
Jerry, noticing Hass's expression, shook his head slightly. It was normal; he was a man too, so he understood.
"I have no issues with that!"
Jerry agreed with Belle's suggestion.
Elsa, upon hearing about the cake, nearly drooled at the thought.
Just as the four of them were about to head towards the cafeteria, Jerry suddenly stopped, frowning. He had sensed a slight vibration from the ground, and soon after, cries of alarm filled the air. He turned to look in the direction of the noise.
Military jeeps, tanks, and a large number of soldiers in camouflage uniforms with long rifles were streaming in through the main gate.
"Sorry, there's a critical military operation here. We need to temporarily seal off the area. Please leave immediately!"
A soldier with a rifle ran up to Jerry and his group, saluted, and issued the order.
Similarly, everyone in the school, whether students or teachers, was being escorted out by the soldiers.
"I'm a police officer. Which unit are you from, and what dangerous military operation is taking place here?"
Hass presented his credentials, his expression turning serious.
The soldier glanced at Hass's ID but remained unperturbed.
"Sorry, it's a classified operation. I can't disclose any information. You can report to your superiors once you're outside."
Seeing that the soldier wasn't going to reveal any details, Hass had no choice but to lead Belle and Jerry's siblings out of Grayborn Academy with the crowd.
"Captain Jim, what's going on here?"
Once they reached the street outside the school, Hass spotted a few familiar figures maintaining order.
"Oh, Captain Hass, you're here too. We're not sure what's happening. We just received a temporary order to maintain order here."
The sheriff in charge of maintaining order shrugged helplessly.
They had been on patrol when they suddenly received the order to assist the military, with no explanation given. They were just as confused as everyone else.
The deployment of such a large military force in a densely populated area was certainly not a simple matter.
Hass pondered for a moment and then whispered to Miss Berry:
"Dear, I can't join you for dinner. Take Jerry and Elsa home in my car. It might be dangerous here!"
Though Belle was worried, she nodded and took Jerry and Elsa by the hands, leading them towards the parking area.
Jerry, lost in thought, glanced back at Grayborn Academy but said nothing, following Miss Berry into the car.
Meanwhile, at the faculty housing area of Grayborn Academy.
In the laboratory of the renowned cell biologist, Professor Samuel Sterns, the couple that Jerry had seen getting out of the taxi earlier in the day was now here.
These two were Dr. Banner and Dr. Betty, who had fled from Culver University.
Bruce Banner, a famous genius scientist, had been invited by General Ross to research the replication of the "Super Soldier Serum" from World War II, participating in the "Army Biochemical Strength Enhancement Project."
An experiment went awry, and Dr. Banner was exposed to dangerous gamma radiation, awakening his second form, the Hulk.
Knowing the terrifying power of the Hulk, Dr. Banner spent the past five years on the run, hiding in various countries to escape General Ross's experiments.
During this time, he also worked hard to control his anger to prevent transforming and sought a way to cure himself and return to his normal human form.
This time, he came to Grayborn Academy in New York because Dr. Samuel had developed an antidote that could cure him.
With the help of Dr. Samuel and his girlfriend, Dr. Betty, Dr. Banner finally managed to suppress the Hulk inside him by injecting the antidote.
However, the partially cured Dr. Banner soon had a dispute with Dr. Samuel.
It turned out that Dr. Samuel had secretly replicated a large amount of Dr. Banner's blood, intending to create an antidote that could cure countless terminal illnesses, hoping to win the Nobel Prize.
Dr. Banner, however, insisted on destroying these blood samples. He knew that with General Ross's mindset, the result would not be an antidote to cure diseases but a multitude of powerful, mindless monsters.
As the two argued, the laboratory where they were located was surrounded by General Ross's army.
A dozen elite snipers aimed their tranquilizer sniper rifles at Dr. Banner.
"Fire at will!"
On the commander's order, a sniper shot Dr. Banner, who was unable to transform.
Subsequently, soldiers lying in ambush rushed in and bound Dr. Banner, who was unable to move, and carried him out of the laboratory.
Just as the soldiers were leaving, an officer named Emil Blonsky burst into the laboratory and forced Dr. Samuel to inject him with Dr. Banner's serum, turning him into a powerful monster, the Abomination, whose size rivaled the Hulk.
Emil Blonsky, originally a member of the British Royal Marines, had been recruited by General Ross to deal with Dr. Banner. However, he was severely injured by the Hulk, his bones shattered.
After being injected with an incomplete super-soldier serum, his strength greatly increased, but his mental state was affected, making him extremely aggressive and insane. He was determined to become even stronger than the Hulk and kill him to become the strongest.
"What's happening?"
Miss Berry, driving a police car to Queens, was startled by a sudden explosion from behind and quickly hit the brakes, stopping the car on the side of the street.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosions followed from the direction of Grayborn Academy, where they had just left.
"Hass!"
Listening to the dangerous explosions in the distance and recalling the armored vehicles and armed soldiers entering the academy, Miss Berry felt a sense of unease, her face showing worry.
She initially wanted to turn around and go back, but seeing Jerry and Elsa in the car, she decided against it.
"Stupefy! Stupefy!"
Two beams of magical light flashed inside the car, and Miss Berry and Elsa simultaneously collapsed in their seats.
It was Jerry who had secretly taken out his wand and cast a Sleeping Charm on Miss Berry and Elsa.
"Thank goodness I sneakily put the flying broom in the trunk today. Otherwise, it would be too late to get there by the time I run such a distance!"
Jerry got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out the guitar case, feeling relieved.
