CHAPTER 688 GO
CHAPTER 688 GO
More than an hour after Lin Rui and Iceman left, the Portal, which was originally just enclosed, was now covered with a pot-lid-like structure made of high-strength alloy plates.
SHIELD is indeed worthy of being the World’s Largest Organization, and its infrastructure power and resources are enough to dazzle people.
In addition to the alloy cover that covers the Portal, the original rudimentary temporary base has also undergone a major change in this time, it has become a very mature base, at least from the perspective of infrastructure.
As long as it is determined that the Portal really is stable then SHIELD will build a larger base here in the later period and vigorously develop themselves with the resources available to them from the opposite end of the Portal.
“The third batch of equipment and resources will arrive in ten minutes. I would feel more at ease when the equipment is fully installed here.” Dr. Banner’s eyes reflected the silver light of the Portal as he stood next to it and observed its changes.
They would be able to react to any accident from the Portal as long as they are fully prepared on this site and they would be fine even if there is a Universe and empty galaxy on the opposite end of the Portal.
Dr. Banner is now about to build a solid barrier around this Portal that can withstand the impact of the special environment in the universe. Unless there is a cosmic storm rushing over there, Dr. Banner thinks that this barrier would be able to cope with some unexpected situations.
“Only Seven of the first batch of 20 Drones are still working, and five of the 30 in the second batch have lost contact. However, there has also been a lot of information. We already have a general idea of the situation at the other end of this Portal. Perhaps, it’s time...” Dr. Banner silently thought as he sorted out the information in his hand, as for what he is going to do next, no one knows.
Bang!
Five minutes later, there was a loud noise in the room next to the Portal to the center of the base, followed by Captain Rogers’s voice.
“That’s impossible! I won’t agree to this!” After slamming his fist hard on the table in front of him, Rogers spoke with a serious expression on his face as he looked at Dr. Banner in front of him.
“Captain Rogers, as I said before, even if I join SHIELD or the Avengers, we would be partners and I won’t be working under you. Therefore, I can ignore your disagreement.” Dr. Banner spoke with a calm expression on his face when he heard Roger’s words.
“Dr. Banner, I know that we are Partners but I really don’t think that you should do this.” Hearing Banner’s words, Rogers continued with a helpless look in his eyes.
Just now, Dr. Banner had told Rogers that he would put on a Space Suit and go through the Portal. If they keep relying on those Drones then although they would continue to get some information but it wouldn’t be better than what a person might see with their own eyes.
Moreover, the Drones have been more or less damaged and there is still no clear picture of the opposite side of the Portal. They don’t know if they are being affected by the environment or lack of there. Therefore, Banner wanted to go and see for himself.
However, Rogers was unwilling to allow Banner’s crazy request. The Portal leads to an unknown place. They have lost many Drones and Rogers can’t let Banner pass through that. If anything happens to Banner over there then Rogers will regret it for the rest of his life.
“Those Drones can only do so much. If we want to get more information then we have to send someone over there. However, no one else will be as professional as me. Moreover, you know about my special situation so you don’t have to worry about me dying.” Banner knew that Rogers was worried about him so he said in a lower tone.
‘No matter how special your situation is, you can’t take this risk! Is the Hulk really invincible?! And it’s hard to say whether the Hulk can even be controlled.’ Rogers thought helplessly in his heart when he heard Banner’s words.
“Dr. Banner, what if I said that I wouldn’t let you through?” Finally, there is no way out, and Rogers could only go with his last card.
Although Bruce Banner is indeed in a Partner relationship with SHIELD, it also means that Banner has no ground to demand anything from SHIELD. Therefore, Rogers can still control others to a degree while SHIELD is strong. Now this entire base is built by SHIELD and Banner still has to rely on Rogers’s permission if he wants to get his own equipment.
Banner frowned when he heard what Rogers said. It seems that he didn’t expect Rogers to say this. Captain America’s tough attitude caused quite a lot of distress to Banner.
Just like Rogers thought, in order for Banner to pass through that Portal, he needs SHIELD’s support. First of all, Banner needs a set of Space Suit that allows him to move freely in Space, something that is more advanced than the technology of the National Space Agency.
“Captain Rogers, you can disagree with me going over. But what if I say that it’s not just me wanting to go over there?” Banner did not back down in front of Rogers’ tough attitude and he pulled out a last trick.
Phoo~
As Dr. Banner finished speaking, his body suddenly leaned forward, and his entire upper body approached Rogers. Then, a green light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his whole aura also changed tremendously. At this moment, Rogers felt that Dr. Banner in front of him had suddenly become a peerless beast.
“I am Hulk! I go wherever I want!” There was a faint green light under Banner’s skin as he groaned out these words.
Seeing the change of Dr. Banner in front of him, and hearing the voice that clearly belonged to Hulk, the expression on Rogers’s face gradually became ugly. If he still doesn’t agree with Dr. Banner’s request then he is worried that Hulk will pop out in the next moment and tear down this newly established base.
“Forget it! Since you are this determined to go then I can’t stop you!” In the end, Rogers had no choice but to compromise. At this time, Rogers was feeling very entangled, he had already begun to doubt whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to call Dr. Banner back.
“Haha! It would have been better if this had happened earlier! We are already quite late, fortunately, I have long asked others to prepare Space Suit for me.” Hearing Rogers finally agreed, Banner instantly recovered to his original smiling state. As he said
“Dr. Banner, I hope your decision is correct this time. We can’t afford to lose you now.” Although he agreed, Rogers still reminded him with a serious expression on his face.
“Don’t worry, I know. Also, Three Drones have just returned, and they have brought back a lot of information. So, don’t worry, I will definitely come back safely.” Banner also replied seriously when he heard Rogers’s words.
“I hope so.”
Then, Banner left the meeting room and began to prepare his own things to go through the Portal.
