Chapter 91 Hulk and Banner
Finney looked at Hulk with surprise. He had just eaten over a hundred chicken nugget wraps that afternoon, and Banner had then had dinner. He hadn't eaten much yet, while these two were constantly eating.
However, seeing Hulk's pitiful expression, Finney didn't say much. He couldn't guarantee anything else, but he was confident he could keep him full. He
casually summoned some 'Jin Ji Chicken Nugget Wraps' and handed them to Hulk. Hulk, wearing only a pair of pants, sat on the snow-covered mountaintop and began to eat.
Due to the time difference, it was still morning in the Himalayas. The rising sun slowly ascended from the east, its red glow exceptionally beautiful.
Finney glanced at Hulk, who was staring blankly at the sun while eating, and suddenly realized that he didn't really know Hulk. He couldn't help but ask, "Hulk, do you know Banner?"
Hulk turned his head, looked at Finney, and lowered his head, answering dejectedly, "Banner, I hate it, Hulk."
"Hulk, I also hate Banner!"
"Hulk likes, Wizard, there's food."
Finney felt a little happy after hearing this. It was like the feeling of your pet being very attached to you, which gave you a sense of accomplishment.
Finney got up and patted Hulk's shoulder, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "The Wizard also likes Hulk. When there's a chance in the future, I'll take you to play in space."
Hulk showed an expectant expression, but then became disappointed again: "Hulk, I'm sleepy, Banner won't let Hulk out."
"Don't worry, if he won't let you out, I'll beat him up!"
Finney wanted to keep Banner by his side, mainly for Hulk's sake. Otherwise, what use was keeping a hairy old man?
"Master, good friend!"
Hulk, mimicking Finney's earlier gesture, tried to pat him on the shoulder.
Finney initially wanted to dodge, but fearing it might affect Hulk's mood, he reluctantly accepted Hulk's large hand with a trembling heart.
Fortunately, Hulk was simple-minded, not stupid. Although those two blows sank Finney at least five centimeters into the ground, at least he didn't injure him.
"What did you feel when Banner came out?"
Finney continued to ask Hulk, wanting to understand their situation and prepare for resolving this issue later.
"It was dark."
After thinking for a while, Hulk finally replied.
"Dark?"
Finney was somewhat puzzled. This meant that when Banner was in control, Hulk was also conscious!?
"Do you know what Banner did?"
Finney continued to inquire.
Hulk first shook his head, then nodded, a conflicted expression on his face. He then slammed his fist on the ground, startling Finney. He huffed, "Hulk, I can't explain it."
"It's okay, it's okay,"
Finney waved dismissively, glancing at the crater left by Hulk's punch. He swallowed hard, then moved on to other questions: "So, what do you like to do?"
"Fight!"
Hulk clenched his fists and bumped them together, proudly declaring, "Hulk is strong, I like fighting!"
Then, as if remembering something, he pointed to the 'Jin Ji Fried Chicken Roll' packaging on the ground, adding, "I like this too."
Finney knew the power of 'Jin Ji Fried Chicken Rolls'; he'd never met anyone who truly disliked them.
However, he was somewhat surprised to hear that Hulk's favorite thing was fighting. He wondered if it was because Hulk could only appear during battles that he had come to enjoy fighting.
Finney and Hulk chatted idly for about ten minutes, and Hulk's eyes clearly showed he was getting increasingly sleepy.
"Are you going to turn back?" Seeing Hulk's condition, Finney asked worriedly,
"Banner, come out!"
Hulk's face showed grievance and reluctance, as if he still wanted to stay. He stood up and roared angrily at the sky.
But then he collapsed weakly, kneeling on one knee and using his hands to support himself.
"It's okay, go back first. I'll call you out again."
Finney quickly went over to support Hulk, advising him as he looked at his weak state. He didn't currently have any way to keep Hulk in his current state.
But he had a vague idea of a solution.
Hearing Finney's words, Hulk finally stopped resisting. He glanced at Finney one last time before collapsing to the ground, his body gradually shrinking back to Banner's appearance.
Looking at Banner's naked body, Finney felt that Hulk was far less pleasing to the eye than before.
When Banner regained consciousness, his first feeling was cold. Although he would feel cold after transforming in the past, it had never been as intense as today.
When he opened his eyes and saw the snow-capped mountains, he was stunned. Luckily, Finney was right beside him. He quickly asked, "Where is this? How did we get here?"
"The Himalayas. I brought you here,"
Finney replied indifferently. Compared to Banner, he clearly preferred Hulk.
Although he was shivering from the cold, Banner immediately remembered what had happened in the lab and asked, "How's the blood? Is it all processed?"
"Yes,"
Finney nodded. Seeing that Banner's lips were turning purple from the cold, he was worried that he might get sick. He immediately opened a portal to Banner's room and said, "Let's get out of here."
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Banner wasn't so surprised by the sudden appearance of the fire ring in the air. Feeling the warmth coming from the other side, he didn't think twice and quickly crawled through it.
Finney followed closely behind, returning to his room and also dispelling the 'evil spirit's influence. He grabbed a few old clothes from the closet and handed them to Banner, saying, "I'll find you a hotel later. Tomorrow, I'll take you to Tony Stark's place and have him arrange a place for you."
"With him there, you don't need to worry about being wanted
for now." Besides being Iron Man, Tony also held the position of consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D., so protecting Banner wasn't difficult for him. Moreover, if Nick Fury found out, he would definitely help secretly.
"What happened on campus afterwards?"
Banner didn't object to Finney's arrangements for the time being, but he was more concerned about what happened after he transformed into the Hulk.
"I dealt with the soldier who came to capture you, then cleaned up the blood, and took the Hulk to the mountains for a bite to eat. Nothing much."
Finney's concise explanation only made Banner more suspicious.
Actually, he did have some memories of transforming into the Hulk, but most of them were filled with gunfire and explosions, making him unwilling to recall those memories.
"Don't worry, with me here, Hulk won't cause any trouble."
Seeing Banner's worry, Finney said curtly.
Banner was tormented by this conflicting feeling: on one hand, he needed Hulk's power in times of danger, but on the other hand, he both hated and feared Hulk's power.
Banner remained silent, reflecting on everything that had happened that day, his heart filled with bitterness. His last hope was extinguished, and he truly didn't know what to do next.
Moreover, the lesson he learned from Samuel Stern had made him hesitant to trust anyone easily again.
