Chapter 78 Death Flips the Table
When Lee Eun was being unexpectedly hunted down by Death.
Frank entered Culver University, the outer experimental site of this secret military laboratory, without any difficulty.
The area is completely surrounded by an electric fence, and five combat teams are stationed here year-round to ensure its safety.
Frank brought a lot of weapons with him, intending to use force if negotiations failed.
Unexpectedly, General Ross invited him into the tent.
The two were sitting facing each other in the tent, with no one else in the room.
General Ross is the kind of soldier Lee En stereotyped him to be.
He would do anything in the name of the country.
In a nearby laboratory, Ross's daughter and her boyfriend are secretly researching a replica and enhanced version of the Super Serum project.
He even implicated his own daughter in this human experimentation research.
Ross smiled and said, "You've come at just the right time. The Super Soldier Serum is nearing completion."
He paused, his tone carrying a hint of sincere invitation.
"Are you still willing to serve your country, Frank Castle?"
Ross looked very serious; he genuinely meant it when he made the suggestion.
In his eyes, soldiers like Frank were extremely valuable.
Even if the Super Soldier Serum were created, it would require an exceptional soldier like Frank to take it in order to maximize national interests.
Frank did not respond to this, but simply reiterated, "Please give me a chance to fight William Rollins one-on-one."
Ross wasn't angry. He shook his head and continued, "That William guy made a fortune from the military operations in Afghanistan."
"He has cultivated many connections and is now preparing to take a further political step."
"You want that guy to abandon his advantages and come fight you one-on-one—"
He paused, a hint of disappointment in his eyes as he looked at Frank, and continued, "Not even the president, let alone me."
Frank stared at him: "No, you definitely have a way, General Ross."
"The president may not know what kind of person William Rollins is, but you certainly have all the dirt on him."
"If you're really willing, he has to come and challenge me to a one-on-one fight."
"Otherwise, his so-called political future is simply not going to work out."
Ross met Frank's eyes, and the disappointment he had just felt vanished without a trace.
He was very satisfied with the soldier.
While in Afghanistan, Frank demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and the ability to break through enemy lines single-handedly.
Compared to Captain America, he's just missing a dose of super soldier serum.
Today, it is highly likely that serum will be successfully developed.
Ross was eager to find soldiers like Frank.
He spoke again: "If you want me to do this for you, it's not impossible."
Ross did not deny Frank's claims; he did indeed possess damaging information about many people.
He could threaten anyone, not just senior CIA officials like William, but even the CIA director himself.
He was quite pleased that Frank was able to recognize this.
"You're going back to the army, and of course, it would be best to bring that guy named Li En along to serve the country as well."
"These are my conditions."
Frank's brow twitched.
Unexpectedly, Ross not only set his sights on him, but also on Lee En.
Returning to the army? Absolutely not.
People of Ross's stature certainly don't directly participate in low-level transactions like those in Afghanistan.
However, it is absolutely impossible that any of the benefits gained from foreign wars did not end up in his pocket.
However, Frank did not intend to extend his anger to the military.
If we really calculate it that way, every single politician and high-ranking military officer would have to die.
Frank understood this perfectly.
There is a big problem at hand.
If the Super Soldier Replica Project is not yet complete, it can certainly be used as leverage.
If you hand over evidence of human experimentation to the newspapers, public opinion will definitely force Ross to back down.
But once it is successfully developed, any grounds for human experimentation can be disregarded.
Faced with the prospect of mass-producing super soldiers, let alone human experimentation, even treason would be pardoned by the president himself.
Seeing that Frank was still considering, Ross took two steps closer, looked down at him, and continued, "While I greatly admire you, if you cannot serve the army, cannot serve the country—"
"Since you're not as valuable as William, how could I possibly let William fight you one-on-one?"
Frank understood what he meant.
If he were willing to return to the army and serve his country, then his value would surpass that of William.
By then, Ross will give up on William.
They have absolutely no humanity.
Frank crossed his arms in front of him, his two thumbs constantly rotating as he pondered.
Ross didn't disturb him, turned around and walked outside the tent, looking at the secret laboratory hundreds of meters away.
If the serum research is successful, he will definitely be able to become the next president.
Then he will be able to build an army of super soldiers and make America great again!
Neither Ross nor the soldiers patrolling the area noticed the large patch of dark clouds in the sky above the testing ground.
Calling it a dark cloud is not accurate.
Because this cloud was incredibly black, it would expand and collapse repeatedly, like a breathing heart, hovering above the laboratory roof.
Strangely, the sunlight pierced directly through the dark clouds, casting no shadows on the houses.
Suddenly, the black cloud transformed into a ferocious serpent and charged towards the laboratory.
Inside the laboratory.
The doctor Bruce Banner, whom Li En planned to recruit, and his girlfriend Betty Ross were having an excited conversation.
"We're in the final stages, this time we're sure to succeed." Banner and his girlfriend Betty looked at each other.
"If we succeed, I suppose Father won't stop us anymore."
Betty was also very happy, but not because of the project's success.
After this project ends, she can start a family with Banner and escape this endless research life.
"Are you ready?" Banner took Betty's hand and placed it on the red button.
"Ready." Betty nodded resolutely.
"Three, two, one."
The two men pressed their hands down sharply.
Gamma ray experiment, initiated.
As the two pressed the red button, a large rat crawled into the ventilation duct without anyone noticing.
Its expression was one of extreme terror, as if something terrifying was chasing it.
It ran around haphazardly, and suddenly lost its footing and fell onto the iron railing of the ventilation duct.
Coincidentally, the screws at the iron gate had already come loose.
The giant rat actually broke through the iron bars and fell straight down from the ceiling.
It waved its claws wildly in mid-air, squeaking and making random noises.
Just as the gamma ray struck the serum at the center of the experimental equipment, a mouse landed right in the middle of the equipment.
The previously stable equipment began to shake violently, and the radiation from the center became increasingly intense.
"No!" Banner immediately turned around and hugged Betty tightly, protecting her.
The green light instantly filled the entire laboratory, streaming through the windows and soaring into the sky.
A moment later, an angry roar came from the laboratory.
The roar shattered all the glass in the university town.
Immediately afterwards, a huge green figure burst through the laboratory ceiling and landed heavily on the experimental site.
He spread his arms and roared at the sky.
"roar!!!"
