Chapter 1717: Experiment and an Unexpected Battle

Breathing heavily, Dr. Sterns glared at the captain who had looted his lab.
The captain walked over and opened the remaining two boxes on the table. He took out Dr. Sterns’ laptop from one of them and put it back on the table.
He then took out a blood sample from another box and read the label. “Mr. Green, 14.56% strength?”
He then looked at Dr. Sterns. “You’ve been studying Bruce Banner. This is his blood sample. Am I right?”
Dr. Sterns couldn’t hide his excitement. “Of course. He’s a miracle.”
However, his expression fell after that. “It’s a pity that we haven’t been in contact much recently, so my research has slowed down.”
The captain grinned. “But you did find something, didn’t you?”
Dr. Sterns looked at him angrily and roared, “You just stole everything I have.”
The captain snorted and gestured at the laptop and the blood sample. “I saved you some.”
Dr. Sterns sneered. “That’s all you can do…”

The captain walked over to him and looked down at him. “I want Bruce’s power.”
Dr. Sterns’ eyes widened. “You…”
The captain interrupted him. “I know that you’ve already found something. Prove it to me now. Otherwise, the Department of Defense and the military will take over your research. In the future, someone else will be in charge of your projects, and you can only listen to them and be just an ordinary researcher.”
Dr. Sterns frowned. He knew that the man was telling the truth.
The project to create Bruce belonged to the military. Why would they give it to an outsider like him?
It was fine if this captain wanted to be a test subject.
There was a much higher chance of success with a strong and willing soldier than a regular person — it went from one in a million to one in a thousand.
“What is your physical condition like?” Dr. Sterns immediately got to work.
The captain smiled. “I was injected before with an experimental serum from a biological enhancement program — it was the side project that created Bruce.”
Dr. Sterns’ eyes lit up as he observed the captain carefully. “Then let me tell you first: There’s no way for me to confirm the outcome of the experiment. You might die right away.”
The captain grabbed him. “If you don’t do it, I’ll kill you.”
A bright smile appeared on Dr. Sterns’ face. “I’m a scientist. Explaining the consequences to you before an experiment is just part of the procedure.”
The captain chuckled and put him down. “Got it. Let’s get started.”
Dr. Sterns turned on the power of the test table. “Lie down. If you’re lucky, we’ll see results in an hour.”
…
Half an hour later, there was a loud bang as a huge greenish-yellow monster broke out of the lab and charged out of Grayburn University and onto the road.
A van was smashed in half, and four or five people were sent flying.
The greenish-yellow monster paused, then pulled a human-shaped meat patty off of his chest and looked at it in surprise.
Just as he was about to throw the meat patty away, it sparked with fiery light which swiftly increased as it started burning at an astonishing temperature.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion.
The greenish-yellow monster was blown back ten meters, and fell flat on his face on the street.
There were cries for help all around him.
Within a range of 20 meters around the meat patties was wreckage, including several twisted cars and all sorts of junk.
Worst of all, most of the wreckage was burning.
The greenish-yellow monster propped himself up and shook his head. He roared angrily and turned to look at the location of the explosion.
Of course, there was nothing there.
The meat patty had exploded and turned to dust. There was nothing left of it.
However, several people jumped out of the damaged van.
Their bodies glowed with a fiery light, just like the meat patty.
But they didn’t explode. Instead, their twisted and broken limbs quickly recovered, and they were whole again.
The greenish-yellow monster widened his eyes.
He wasn’t stupid. It was clear that the meat patty which had exploded had been one of them.
Uncontrollable fury rose in his heart, and the urge to destroy everything made the last bit of his rationality disappear.
With a roar, he charged at the fiery figures.
The other party clearly saw him too. Two of them couldn’t help but curse. “What kind of monster is that?”
“He was the one who attacked us.”
With that, they started to clash without hesitation.
This greenish-yellow guy might be a monster, but were they ordinary people? They were battlefield veterans and, now that they had the ability to heal their broken limbs, it wasn’t a problem to kill this monster!
Unfortunately, they didn’t understand that this greenish-yellow monster was also a veteran, and even a top special force soldier.
Whether it was superpowers or combat experience, the other party was better than they were.
Thankfully, the fiery figures weren’t stupid. Given their advantage in numbers, they scattered almost at the same time and attacked the greenish-yellow monster from all directions.
…
Luke, who was talking business with the overbearing female CEO at the window, was suddenly stumped. He didn’t ditch Jenny, however, and just focused on his clone.
Looking at the two parties fighting on the surveillance feed, the Level 2 clone went to the sea passage in a flash.
The Dark Knight armor appeared and quickly covered his body.
Ten seconds later, he was fully covered, and the ground suddenly opened up under his feet. Luke turned a corner in the passage and, a moment later, appeared at the bottom of the ocean 100 meters away before he headed for Manhattan Island.
Even if he were moving slowly, it would still take him less than three minutes to cover a distance of less than 20 kilometers.
By the time he arrived, the two parties were already fighting on Park Avenue.
The greenish-yellow monster was super strong and had the absolute advantage.
After two of the fiery figures were blown up, they immediately switched tactics and used their advantage in numbers to waylay the enemy.
If they were careful, it wouldn’t be easy for the greenish-yellow monster to take them down.
The battle was at an impasse, and more and more passers-by were being pulled into it.
Both parties were fighting heatedly.
300 meters to the right was Central Park, where there weren’t a lot of people, but they were fighting on busy Park Avenue.
The fiery men, in particular, were no different from ordinary people in size and appearance, except that the wounds on their bodies and faces flickered a faint fiery red when they healed.
Thus, the ordinary people around them became their best cover.
