Chapter 1551: The Sun Chaser (XII)
Chapter 1544 The Sun Chaser (XII)
On the night Gwen left New York for Hollywood, Betty sent her to the airport. After watching Gwen leave, she turned and walked out of the airport lobby. Her boyfriend Bruce Banner was waiting for her in the car on the side of the road.
Betty got in the car and sighed softly. Banner saw her sad face and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Betty, are you okay?"
Betty shook her head and said: "I'm just happy for Gwen. When we worked together in the laboratory, she hadn't graduated yet. She was a carefree little girl. In a blink of an eye, she and Peter are getting married."
Banner swallowed lightly, lowered his head slightly and said: "I'm really sorry, Betty, I really..."
Betty was silent for a long time. Until Banner turned his head to look at her again, he saw tears in Betty's eyes. He stepped on the brakes in a panic and reached out to hold Betty's hand tightly.
"I don't know why you are unwilling to stand with me to fight against my father, Bruce. Are we going to go on like this?"
She turned her head and looked at Banner with tearful eyes and said, "Gwen often told me how stubborn her father was, but Gwen and Peter were able to overcome difficulties together and finally walked into the church. Why can't we do that?"
"I'm really sorry, Betty..."
"You know I don't want to hear an apology, Bruce, tell me, why are you always afraid to face my father?"
Banner was silent, Betty took a deep breath and said, "Because you also think he is right, because you also think you are an uncontrollable monster, you want to run away at any time, leave everyone, and leave me."
"No, Betty, I never thought about leaving you, I just, I'm just worried that I will hurt you." Banner's hands tightly grasped the steering wheel, revealing a trace of pain, he Then he explained: "Hulk has been much more obedient, but he is after all... He is not something that ordinary people can deal with. He may take your life at any time."
"Either stand firmly with me, even if we go to hell together, or stay away from me completely, so that you will no longer have nightmares of suddenly going crazy and killing me."
Betty stared at Banner's eyes and said: "We are completely torturing each other now. If we continue like this, we will all go crazy."
Betty pulled her hand out of Banner's hand and said: "Bruce, I really can't watch the people around me enter the palace of marriage one after another and form a happy family, while we are still dragging each other down. You can't give me a guarantee. I make you feel insecure. I can't accept such a future."
Banner closed his eyes in pain, and the muscles on his face kept shaking, and Betty had turned around and opened the car door. Before she walked out, she turned to Banner and said.
"You are not a monster. My father is wrong. We should fight him together and strive for our own happiness. If you don't want to go this way, then we are doomed to have no future."
With a "bang", the car door closed, and the air in the car was silent. The car quietly stopped on the street in late autumn for several hours until dawn, when the engine sounded again.
Banner drove to a convenience store and said to the clerk at the driveway counter in a hoarse voice: "Give me a bottle of wine."
The clerk looked him up and down, then looked at the car he was driving, went back and took a bottle of wine and handed it to him, saying: "Have a nice day, sir."
"I will... probably."
The light outside the window brightened and dimmed, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the glass coffee table, reflecting a bright spot, which made people's sight red.
"Ding-ling-ling!!"
The rapid ringing continued until the phone fell under the coffee table. A hand grabbed the phone and put it to his ear, saying in a vague tone: "Hello, what's wrong?"
"Bruce Banner! What are you doing?! Where is the result of Project 1023? Didn't you say it should be handed in today?! Look at what time it is?!"
Otto's roar came from the other end of the phone. Banner, who was drunk, sat up from the sofa in a trance and muttered: "What's the hurry? Let's talk about it tomorrow, tomorrow..."
"Six project teams are waiting for your conclusion, let's talk about it tomorrow? If you don't hand in the report, I won't live to see tomorrow!... Forget it, where are you now? I'll pick you up."
"I'm... at my house..."
About half an hour later, Doctor Octopus Otto appeared at Banner's house, and was stunned by the mess and strong smell of alcohol.
He used the octopus tentacles behind him to clear the garbage on the ground, walked to the coffee table, picked up the bottle next to the wine glass, took a look, took a breath, looked at Banner lying on the sofa and said: "Oh my God, you drink such a strong wine, are you crazy?"
"I... I added... ice cubes..."
Otto opened his mouth, looked at the bottle, then at Banner, shook his head and said: "Okay, it seems that the research data will really be delayed until tomorrow. I will explain to them, you have a good rest."
"No, wait." The drunkard's mood changed as fast as the weather on the East Coast. Banner sat up from the sofa, grabbed one of Otto's tentacles and said, "It's okay, I can do the experiment, I'll go to... the laboratory..."
After that, he stood up with the help of force, staggered to the bathroom, washed his face, put on his glasses again, and tidied the wrinkled hem of his shirt. When he came out, he looked much better.
Otto looked him up and down, a little unsure whether he should stop him, but when he thought of the terrible scene of the angry scientists in the research group chasing him to report, Otto finally did not stop him.
Otto drove Banner to his laboratory, but because he was not the person in charge of this experimental project and did not know the details, he asked Banner on the way, but Banner seemed to have not woken up from his hangover, with a dull face and vague tone, and he didn't say anything clearly.
The good news is that Hulk is not moving now, but the bad news is that Banner's brain is not working well. Banner leads Otto by instinct and uses his security credentials to open the security door of the laboratory.
After entering, he came to the experimental table in a trance and glanced at the information on it. He didn't look at it carefully, and then pointed to the side and said to Otto: "I haven't done the collision experiment yet. Please help me turn on the machine. I'll go get the previous experimental report."
Otto didn't think much about it and walked towards the room Banner pointed to. But when he went there, he found that this was the control room of the particle collider, but it was different from the ordinary control panel. For some reason, there was an observation window, and there seemed to be a faint shadow inside.
Otto was very cautious and did not dare to use unfamiliar instruments easily. He walked to the side and took a look at the documents on the table, and read out the words he thought were the name of the project: "Antimatter Particle Observation Record?"
Otto frowned and said to himself: "So this project is about studying antimatter particles? No wonder those old men urge me to report every day... So this is an antimatter particle collider?"
Otto took a few steps back and looked at the big machine, but he always felt that something was wrong. The panel of the particle collider was similar to what he had seen before, except that the observation window installed on the side was out of place, as if it was connected later.
Out of curiosity, Otto walked up to take a look, but it was pitch black inside and he could not see anything. At this time, Banner had already come over with the information. He walked to the control panel of the collider and said: "The previous preparations are ready, now just start it."
After that, Banner began to work next to the operation panel, but Otto was still looking at the observation window.
After a while, a buzzing sounded. Banner glanced at the reading report and said, "Okay, just wait a few minutes. The micro collider produced by Stark Industries is really convenient. You don't have to wait for several days."
"Huh? This reading..." Banner suddenly frowned and looked at the panel next to him. He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Wait a minute, why is it wrong? Didn't the high-energy particle flow launch successfully? Can the collider get stuck?!"
Just as Banner exclaimed, Otto suddenly saw a blooming purple light spot on the panel of the observation window, appearing in the center of an unfamiliar star map. He was very familiar with this scene-this was some kind of fusion reaction.
Otto hurriedly pulled Banner out of the laboratory. Banner was still confused. Otto stared into his eyes and said, "Are you sure that the antimatter particles are directly collided? Did you add something else to the collider?"
"Antimatter particles?" Banner said in surprise: "What antimatter particles? This is just an ordinary particle collision experiment!"
Otto handed him the information in his hand. Banner frowned after seeing the things on it. He looked up and looked around the laboratory, focusing on the place where he put the documents, and then said: "No, someone came here... Someone moved my things!"
Banner sobered up a lot of the wine. He rushed into the operation room of the particle collider again and saw the observation window at a glance. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "When did the micro collider have this component? It didn't exist when I came yesterday..."
Just then, there was a sudden movement outside the door. Banner and Otto ran out and saw Reed walking into the laboratory.
"Reed, isn't your lab upstairs? Why are you here?"
"I'm here to borrow the particle collider. I have an experiment to do. I was halfway through yesterday, and Susan called me over for something. I'm here to finish it today. You do your thing, and I'll just use the collider."
Otto had a bad feeling. He rushed forward and pulled Reed to the side of the observation window, pointing inside and saying, "What is producing fusion?!"
Reed stared at the scene in the observation window in amazement. He looked at Otto with wide eyes and said, "You started the machine, and the antimatter particles are still inside!!!"
Just as Otto was about to say something, Reed pushed him away and ran to the control panel. After a series of operations, he looked at the readings on the panel and said in shock.
"The high-energy particle flow has opened a passage to the antimatter universe through the antimatter particles at the cosmic coordinates corresponding to the positive matter particles!"
Then he took two steps back and shouted: "Quick! Go upstairs! Use Stark's observer robot!"
The three hurried to the top floor of the laboratory. Banner used his ID card to obtain the authority of Stark's observer robots scattered in the universe. Reed adjusted the coordinates. The next second, the three of them were stunned.
After the purple light flashed briefly, layers of ripples spread from the origin, and a white star as bright as the sun was miraculously produced within the radiation range of the black hole where no light could be observed - that was a passage to the antimatter universe.
And at the moment the passage was opened, a huge six-legged insect with three foot segments and more than a dozen compound eyes crawled out from it.
And then, when the endless Zerg descended on this universe, it swept the entire universe in an instant like a terrifying wave that annihilated everything.
The result was all right, the process was all wrong
