Chapter 55 New Year’s Eve
Every year, Times Square holds a grand New Year's Eve carnival, and this year is no exception. Even though many buildings next to the square are still under repair, in fact, this year's scale is larger than in previous years.
"Everyone wants to say good-bye to the old and welcome the new."
Gwen hugged Andrew's arm and sighed: "There have been too many disasters this year. Everyone hopes that next year will be calm and live in peace and contentment."
Andrew shook his head: "The idea is good, but when you look back in the future, you will find that this year is the best year in the next ten years."
Gwen was dissatisfied: "Are you so pessimistic?"
"The wheel of history cannot be stopped."
Andrew said: "Don't talk about this, you have been very busy recently, go shopping with me tonight. This is my first time to attend the New Year's Eve carnival."
Gwen felt a little guilty and a little guilty. During this time, she, Jessica, and Skye formed a team to work as superheroes in Hell's Kitchen. They were so busy that they didn't even have time to do their homework, let alone accompany Andrew.
Gwen promised: "I will definitely accompany you tonight."
Soon, the time came to the last few seconds of 2008. In Times Square, everyone counted down in unison: "Three, two, one..., Happy New Year!"
2009 has officially arrived, but it is different from what the people expected. This year is destined to not be peaceful.
…
"Everyone is hoping that the disaster will be over, but according to my guess, the disaster will only become more and more severe."
In the Osborne Group, Norman Osborne, who was much older than before, handed the wine glass to General Ross of the American Army Department and said.
General Ross, nicknamed General Thunderbolt, took the glass and said: "Our army will protect the United States."
"In fact, the previous disasters were not solved by the military."
Norman smiled and said: "General Ross, don't be angry. I'm not saying that your military doesn't do its best, but the military's power is too weak and cannot compare to those so-called superheroes."
"The military's strength is not weak, but it is too late to mobilize."
General Ross snorted and said impatiently: "Norman, what exactly do you want to say?"
"I would say we should collaborate on developing human enhancement agents."
Norman said: "Once the human enhancement agent is successfully researched, the Army will definitely restore its glory during World War II."
General Ross asked: "How did I hear that your Osborne Group's human enhancement potion failed?"
"There was no failure, just a slight flaw and some of the mice went completely crazy."
Norman corrected: "As long as General Ross is willing to share the formula and data of the military's human enhancement experiments, I am confident that this flaw will be completely solved."
Whether it is the Osborne Group's human enhancement potion or the military's human enhancement experiment, they are actually restoring Dr. Erskine's Super Soldier Serum - the serum that made Captain America's chest muscles larger than those of women.
There are many similar projects in the United States, and the Osborne Group's human enhancement potion is the closest product to the super soldier serum - the same level as the soldier serum restored by Howard.
General Ross hesitated, and after a moment, he said: "I can cooperate with the Osborne Group, but in addition to the formula of the human enhancement potion, I also need the formula of the lizard potion."
Norman was stunned and then said: "The formula of the lizard potion? General Ross, the lizard man will produce another personality that is uncontrollable."
"It's okay, just treat them as animals."
General Ross said: "I am going to use the death row prisoners to get a few lizardmen. Their combat effectiveness is very good."
"Is that so?"
Norman hesitated and nodded: "Yes, but the Osborne Group will not admit it. They will only say that the formula is lost."
General Ross said: "No problem, Norman, I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Don't worry, I will never fail this time."
Norman said very firmly that he had no time and must inject the human enhancement agent as soon as possible, otherwise, he would die.
In addition, the Osborne Group's recent performance has been too poor. Norman needs orders from the military to keep his position as chairman. Otherwise, shareholders who are like vampires will abandon him without hesitation.
"It's a pity that Banner can't be found. Otherwise, why would I need to cooperate with the Osborne Group?"
General Ross thought of something and secretly sighed: "Iron Man and Spider-Man are nothing compared to the Hulk. Only Ghost Rider can fight."
…
In a simple hut in Siberia, a long-haired man with scars on his face who looked very tough and wild held up the Ark reactor he had just built and said proudly: "Tony Stark can do it. I can do the same thing."
"Ivan, you are more genius than Tony."
Obadiah, a bald man with a big beard, clapped his hands excitedly: "You only used one original drawing to complete the miniaturization of the Ark reactor."
"The Starks are a group of thieves who stole everything from the Vanke family."
Ivan Vanke threw the Ark Reactor aside and said angrily: "The Stark family is living and drinking in America every day, while our Vanke family is trapped in Siberia and suffering. I must settle this account with Tony. ·Stark, do the math."
"Be careful."
Seeing Ivan randomly throwing the Ark Reactor around, Obadiah almost died of fright. Come on, that was a nuclear reactor. If it exploded, he would become the worst villain to die.
Obadiah cursed secretly: "These idiots are so rough and crazy in their actions."
