Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Honor

The Manhattan incident was reported up the chain of command, finally reaching General Ross’s ears.

After hearing his subordinate’s description and watching the transmitted video footage, he immediately deduced that the monster in Manhattan was related to Banner, and it was highly likely that the Joker organization was conducting drug trials.

Ross immediately called the President, explaining the stakes of the situation and requesting command authority.

Hearing that the incident was related to the Joker organization, the President authorized him without hesitation.

Apart from S.H.I.E.L.D., the military was the only force within the United States capable of countering the Joker organization.

But S.H.I.E.L.D. was currently demoralized and busy licking its wounds at the Triskelion headquarters, so the President could only rely on the military.

With authorization granted, Ross ordered nearby Air Force bases to mobilize urgently, while he himself took an armed helicopter to New York.

…

New York, Manhattan.

Blonsky was like a tireless beast, wantonly venting his inner dissatisfaction and anger.

Or perhaps he was using anger as a pretext to release the tyranny in his heart and enjoy the thrill of destruction.

Over an hour later, Midtown Manhattan was paralyzed.

The local police and the first wave of military responders had been routed by him; corpses, smoke, and flames were everywhere…

The once majestic Manhattan resembled a hell on earth.

Ross arrived simultaneously with the second wave of troops. The tragic state of the city en route chilled everyone’s hearts.

What kind of monster are we about to face?!

After venting, Blonsky was tired.

He was sitting on the edge of a skyscraper’s roof, admiring his freshly completed handiwork.

Several armed helicopters hovered in the sky at a distance, not attacking immediately.

Ross instructed the pilot: “Zoom in, I want to see the details.”

“Yes, sir!” The pilot operated the instruments, and Blonsky’s figure appeared on the airborne screen.

Huge, strong, ugly…

What appeared on the screen was clearly a monster.

Seeing this, Ross was puzzled.

If it was a replica of the Hulk serum, why was the appearance so vastly different?

He frowned and observed carefully; the protruding spine on the monster’s back caught his attention.

Spine!

Spine!

He vaguely felt that this spine looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

He wasn’t the only one who noticed the anomaly; his subordinate also exclaimed, “Sir, that soldier from the year before last!”

A flash of lightning struck his brain, and past memories surfaced frantically.

The Super Soldier program had been stop-and-go because the risks were too high, and accidents were very prone to happen.

Last year, there was such a soldier who passed the physical tests to become a test subject for the Super Soldier program.

Like Blonsky, he was injected with the WWII Super Soldier Serum.

But he wasn’t so lucky. Right after the first injection, his body experienced intense discomfort.

Although his strength increased significantly, he also exhibited strong aggressive tendencies, even losing his rationality somewhat.

He rampaged through the base like a madman, injuring several strong soldiers before he was subdued.

However, the next scene stunned everyone.

That soldier’s spine grew rapidly, forming a prominent protruding ridge on his back that looked disgusting.

A few days later, the soldier died.

After the autopsy, the medical examiner removed a huge spine, fully three times larger than a normal human’s.

Tests showed the spine’s strength and hardness far exceeded the limits of human bone.

After that incident, the Super Soldier program was paused again, only restarted after the rise of the Joker organization.

Although a long time had passed, that spine left a deep impression on Ross.

Spinal mutation was a side effect of the Super Soldier Serum, and the only person in the world who had been injected with the serum and was still alive was Blonsky, who had gone missing a few days ago.

Ross and his subordinate exchanged glances and said seriously, “Do you think he could be…”

Before he could finish, the subordinate nodded in agreement.

Having received the answer, Ross felt a slight joy in his heart, but immediately put on a stern face.

Blonsky’s successful transformation proved that the path he chose wasn’t wrong; Banner’s serum had extremely high development value.

But his wanton destruction of the city after successful transformation indicated he had either completely lost his mind or was controlled by the Joker organization through some method.

Either reason proved the danger and uncontrollability of the serum.

“Let me try to talk to him.”

“Understood!”

The pilot turned on the loudspeaker, and Ross picked up the military microphone and shouted, “Blonsky!”

The loud voice carried far, and Blonsky, sitting on the rooftop enjoying the breeze, turned to look.

He recognized the owner of the voice and grinned, “General!”

Hearing this, all the soldiers were dumbfounded.

The monster spoke!

Ross looked surprised and asked tentatively, “You… you still have your sanity?”

Blonsky stood up and roared at the distant helicopter, “Of course.”

Ross was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, “If so, why are you attacking New York! Are you being controlled by the Joker organization?”

“Controlled!”

Blonsky tilted his head and smiled evilly. “No one in this world can control me. Everything you see before you stems from my own will!”

Hearing this answer, Ross found it even harder to accept.

If Blonsky were attacking New York frantically because he was coerced or controlled by the Joker organization, it would be pardonable.

But he never expected that he did all this willingly.

“Why! Since you escaped, why didn’t you return to the base! Why destroy the city! Where is your dignity! Where is your honor as a soldier!”

Blonsky chuckled coldly and said with disdain, “Dignity, honor! These moral standards only apply to ordinary humans, and I am no longer human! After the battle just now, I am even more certain of this. As long as I possess superhuman power, no universal values can restrain me!”

Ross’s face and neck turned red, his lungs about to explode with rage!

He hadn’t expected his elite soldier to turn into this, or perhaps he was always this kind of person.

It was just that the darkness in his heart was previously restrained by morals and laws, and the immense power had broken the shackles, releasing the real him.

“You have disappointed me too much!” Ross looked at the screen, gritting his teeth in hatred.

If Blonsky hadn’t attacked New York but chose to return to the base for examination, then the end of the Joker organization would be just around the corner.

Thinking of success slipping through his fingers like this, Ross was naturally exasperated.

“Hehe, sorry about that!”

“Blonsky, I’ll give you one more chance! Surrender! As long as you can help eradicate the Joker organization, you will still be a hero to America and the world!”

“Hahaha…” Blonsky threw his head back and let out a harsh, piercing laugh.

“Hero! Who’s going to award me this honor? The stupid, greedy Mr. President? Or the useless, cowardly Mr. Secretary-General?” Blonsky mocked arrogantly.

Asking him, who had become a superhuman, to accept honors awarded by ordinary humans was simply ridiculous.

Hearing this, Ross felt dejected, his hands dropping weakly as he released the microphone.

A pity, such a pity…

“General, what should we do?”

“Attack with full force! Just leave an intact corpse!”

“Yes, sir!”

The attack order was given, and the troops hiding in the dark immediately sprang into action.
