Chapter 9: Persistence
Chapter 9: Persistence
As he was thinking about this, Radcliffe suddenly turned his gaze to his colleague, because he felt that the name was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"Mussel... Doctor Mussel Stern." Thinking of this, Radcliffe suddenly became excited. "I remember that a few days ago, I heard some of my close friends in the army mention you. That hateful thing, is it related to you?"
"It's not my fault. At first I just wanted to lend a hand to Dr. Banner and clone his blood, but it was just out of curiosity and academic exploration. Everything should have been perfect, but it was all because of Ross. It was he who attracted the madman who was lost in power, and it was that madman who forced me to inject Hulk's blood into his body. I had no choice at the time." Dr. Stern stood up and roared at Radcliffe.
If he had not hated the world and caused such a catastrophe, he would not have been implicated and eventually imprisoned by the military.
"Don't be impatient. I understand. I know what you are thinking." Radcliffe waved his hand.
"If I could get Hulk's blood, I would do the same as you without hesitation."
Dr. Stern looked at Radcliffe, his excitement subsided a little, he took a deep breath, and then turned his eyes to the nearby door.
"I want to leave here." After saying this, Dr. Stern arrived at the door.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but if I could get out, I would have left long ago. This door is not an electronic lock, but a traditional mechanical lock. Don't even think about cracking it. Alas, even today, the people here are still so conservative." Radcliffe spread his hands, looking helpless.
However, when Dr. Stern arrived at the door, he did not check the lock, but suddenly clenched his fist, bulged his muscles, and slammed his shoulder into the door.
"Bang, bang, bang!" After three consecutive knocks, the ordinary door was knocked open by Dr. Stern.
"Damn, are you really an ink grinder?" Radcliffe stared in astonishment. He felt that the person in front of him was very different from himself. Noticing Dr. Stern's gaze, Radcliffe quickly changed his words.
"I mean... as an ink grinder, I thought you would open this door in a more academic way."
"This is a physical method of unlocking the lock, which is very scientific!" Dr. Stern said, and walked straight out.
"Slow down, wait for me." In this strange place, Radcliffe thought it would be better to follow this ink grinder who was good at using "physics".
After walking for a few minutes, the two found that this place seemed to be a research institute. Except for the room they were in just now, which seemed to be a reception room, most of the other rooms were filled with equipment, and there were strange people who were grinding ink coming and going.
These people passed by the two of them without paying any attention until they reached the end of the corridor and pushed open the door in front of them.
Behind the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the numerous biological culture dishes and the various organisms immersed in them.
"Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to enter without my permission?" A man's impatient voice sounded. The two men looked and saw a fifty-year-old man wearing glasses walk out.
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?" the man with glasses asked puzzledly.
"This is your colleague, Dr. Cornelius." The young man's voice came, and two men and one woman walked in from outside the door. The leader was a young man wearing a poker mask.
There is no doubt that this young man is Lu Yifang.
"Director, Deputy Director, and Mr. Aleister, why are you all here?" The ink grinder named Cornelius glanced at the White Queen and the Red Devil, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Yifang.
"When a new guest arrives, we always need to welcome him. Let me introduce him." Lu Yifang stepped forward.
"This is Cornelius, the only chief researcher in my institute, and these two are Dr. Horton Radcliffe and Dr. Mussel Stern. They..."
"I am not interested in your identities. You must be the master of this place. I just want to go home and see my family." Dr. Stern stepped forward and said seriously.
"Don't worry, Dr. Stern. I have properly arranged for your wife, children and parents. They are all safe and sound. You can see them anytime you want." Lu Yifang said with his hands spread out.
"How dare you touch my family?" Upon hearing this, Dr. Sten became furious and punched Lu Yifang Pang.
"Bang!" Lu Yifang easily caught Dr. Stern's punch.
"Interesting." Although he was not injured, Lu Yifang could feel the power of this punch. If it hit an ordinary person, he would be seriously injured if not killed. This Mo Yanzhe, who has a close relationship with Abomination and Hulk, is not as simple as he seems.
Lu Yifang noticed Dr. Stern's eyes gradually turning green, and suddenly realized. "You were also injected with Hulk's blood, although only a small amount."
"If not for this, I would have died when hatred appeared in this world." Dr. Sten realized how terrifying Lu Yifang was, silently withdrew his hand, and explained with a gloomy face.
"Interesting, no wonder the military imprisoned you. On the one hand, you knew many details about the birth of the Hulk, and even designed the experiment to contain the Hulk yourself. On the other hand, the birth of the Abomination is closely related to your private breeding of the Hulk's blood. Now that the military has permanently terminated the soldier enhancement project, it would be strange if they didn't imprison someone as dangerous as you."
"I never thought of becoming the next Abomination, it's them who don't believe in me," Dr. Stern argued.
"I can sense the horror of that power. I don't want to become an inhuman monster. In fact, the Hulk's blood in my body has been specially weakened by me. It can only make me have three to five times the strength and vitality of an ordinary person for a short period of time. After that, I will enter a weak period. In this way, I am not a big threat."
"In that case, instead of waiting for others to give us freedom, why not try to fight for it?" Lu Yifang suddenly said after listening to Dr. Stern's words.
"You can help me change all this." Dr. Stern stared at Lu Yifang...
"Believe it, it won't harm your state. What's more, your state can't get any worse, right?" Lu Yifang said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Seeing Dr. Stern's agreement, Lu Yifang turned to look at Dr. Radcliffe. At that time, Radcliffe was staring directly at the Red Devil.
"You look like an alien." Radcliffe walked slowly to the front of the Red Devil. "Before I passed out, I saw you suddenly appear in the red light. You are a space alien."
"Then you are not aliens either?" Radcliffe looked at Lu Yifang and the White Queen again.
"How?" The White Queen frowned slightly. Could this person be a scholar who rejected aliens? If so, the White Queen might need to reshape his mind, which would be a tedious matter.
Radcliffe's expression suddenly changed when he received the White Queen's approval. "This is really... wonderful."
Radcliffe walked around the road in a circle, as if appreciating a work of art. "The power you just displayed, and your posture, although Mr. Aleister's teleportation is also good, but the appearance is a little... In short, Mr. Aleister, you are really perfect."
Radcliffe was so excited that his speech was incoherent. "Do you know? I have imagined many ways for human evolution, including full/semi-mechanical, full digitization, and energyization. But now I have to say that aliens are also a good choice. No, why use a derogatory term? You should call them new humans. You actually came to accept me, which is a wise choice. No matter what, I have deep research in biology, electronics, and artificial intelligence, so please accept me, and I will repay you with 120% enthusiasm."
Hearing this, the White Queen and the Red Devil were both silent. This person...isn't he mentally ill?
"In that case, Dr. Radcliffe, you are welcome." Lu Yifang smiled and extended his hand. Unlike the White Queen and the Red Devil, he knew very well why this person was moved.
Horton Radcliffe, an extreme human evolutionist, has been studying the field of human evolution for a long time and is extremely obsessed with it.
In the Marvel world, he is not an unknown figure. Lu Yifang has a vague memory. He once developed a technique to mass-produce ancient Inhumans under the threat of the Inhuman leader Hive. Given the complex origins of the Inhumans and aliens, Radcliffe and Lu Yifang attach great importance to it.
Speaking of the Inhumans, Lu Yifang thought that if he had the chance in the future, he could meet them.
