Chapitre 60: Funding from Congress
Inside the Umbrella Corporation Tower in New York~
Adam watched the intense battle unfold through a camera embedded in the G-Product.
Don't ask how he had access to it.
What kind of company sells something without leaving a backdoor?
"The Hulk's genes... interesting," he muttered, his lips curling into a slight smile, the first sign of genuine interest.
.......
Meanwhile, in the slums of Rocinha, inside a factory warehouse…
"Roar!"
With a furious roar, the G-Products charged at the Hulk.
"HULK!"
The Hulk wasn't about to back down. With a thunderous roar, he swung his massive green fist forward.
A powerful gust of wind accompanied his strike, making a whistling sound as it cut through the air.
With a loud "bang", his green fist smashed through the chest of the leading G-Product.
However, the G-Product didn't lose its ability to fight. Instead, its chest's bone spikes clamped down tightly on the Hulk's arm. It opened its massive jaws and bit down hard.
"HULK!"
The Hulk howled in pain, swinging his other fist and smashing it down onto the G-Product's head.
With a "splat", the head exploded like a watermelon.
But the G-Product had two heads. Even though one had been destroyed, the other remained intact. Moreover, the destroyed head began to regenerate, the flesh wriggling and rebuilding itself.
Before the Hulk could strike again, more G-Products surrounded him, overwhelming him with sheer numbers.
Outside the warehouse…
General Ross watched with growing excitement as the G-Products engulfed the Hulk.
"Umbrella's G-Products are impressive. We should order more next time."
Just as he finished speaking, a shift occurred inside the warehouse.
"HULK!"
With a furious roar, the Hulk flung the G-Products off him, revealing his towering, nearly three-meter-tall green body.
But the Hulk was not unscathed. His body was covered in claw marks and bite wounds, with green blood oozing out.
However, thanks to his incredible regenerative abilities, the Hulk's wounds began to heal almost immediately.
But while the Hulk had his rapid healing, the G-Products did too. On top of that, more G-Products kept dropping down from above, quickly surrounding him once more.
*Boom!*
*Crash!*
"HULK!"
"ROAR!"
The sounds of battle, roaring, and exploding machinery filled the night air like a chaotic symphony.
Outside, police sirens began wailing as reinforcements arrived. Someone had called the police, prompting the Rocinha force to respond.
When the police arrived, General Ross immediately stepped out of his van and approached the officers.
After flashing his credentials, the Rocinha police cooperated, standing guard outside the warehouse and refraining from getting involved. After all, when an American general gives orders, nobody in Brazil dares to say no.
Inside the warehouse, the Hulk, growing angrier by the second, felt his strength increasing.
Soon, he was smashing through G-Products with sheer brute force, shattering one with a single punch.
With a "splat", the G-Product was utterly pulverized—bones, muscles, and limbs all reduced to fragments, leaving it completely dead.
"HULK!"
With another roar, the Hulk slaughtered several more G-Products that had attacked him.
But the surviving G-Products showed no fear, continuing their relentless assault on the Hulk.
Outside, General Ross observed the battle and grew more and more impressed with the G-Products.
They were strong, controllable, and fearless—the perfect bio-weapons for any military commander.
Still, even though the G-Products were impressive, Ross's gaze remained locked on the Hulk.
Only his Hulk was the strongest. He had to capture him!
......
Half an hour later, with all one hundred G-Products destroyed, the Hulk began to feel the slightest bit of fatigue. With a final roar, he leaped into the air and disappeared into the night.
General Ross, watching the scene unfold, was visibly disappointed.
"If I'd known, I would've brought in the troops."
But it was only a fleeting thought. Deploying troops in a foreign country wasn't something even his powerful connections could easily manage.
"General, what should we do now?"
"What else? Clean up the scene and prepare for the next operation."
Unnoticed by anyone, a tiny drone flew out from a corner, descending to the site of the Hulk and G-Product battle.
After collecting a sample of the Hulk's green blood, the drone quietly flew away.
....
The next morning, outside the Umbrella Corporation Tower in New York…
The screech of tires echoed through the air as a luxury car came to a smooth stop. The door opened, and out stepped Robert, his face glowing with success.
He looked up at the red-and-white Umbrella logo.
Thanks to the Mutant Registration Act, Robert had risen to the rank of Chief Conservative Senator. His status and power had grown significantly.
And he had Umbrella to thank for everything. They had foiled the mutant's sinister plans and captured Erik.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps caught Robert's attention.
He turned and saw Adam walking briskly toward him, followed by several well-dressed women in business suits.
"Senator Robert, it's been a while."
"Haha, Adam!"
The two embraced, expressing their deep connection.
"Come on, let's head upstairs and talk."
A little while later, the two men, along with their entourage, arrived at a conference room.
As soon as they sat down, Robert couldn't wait any longer. "I heard your Sentinels program has made progress?"
"Indeed. Here's the data and specs on the Sentinels. Take a look."
Soon, the well-dressed assistants handed out documents for everyone to review.
Robert glanced through a few pages before setting it aside, waiting for his experts to report back.
As his team studied the documents, they expressed their disbelief and amazement.
"This can't be real!"
"Is this power source a nuclear battery?"
"The firepower on this thing is insane!"
"Unbelievable!"
After hearing his team's report, Robert was equally astonished as he turned to Adam.
Then, he stood up and bowed slightly.
"My apologies. I had thought your biotech company was just messing around. I didn't expect you to surprise me like this."
"You're too kind, Senator. I was simply fortunate enough to collaborate with Stark Enterprises and hire some outstanding employees."
Hearing this, Robert suddenly understood, giving Adam a knowing look.
"No wonder."
"Senator, when will the funding for the Sentinels project be available?"
"Don't worry. As soon as I get back, I'll push Congress to approve $5 billion in research funds. Once you roll out the first Sentinel, Congress will order a hundred units."
"According to our estimates, each Sentinel will cost around $300 million."
"Ahem… didn't we agree to keep the cost around $100 million per unit?"
"It's slightly over budget."
"We can reduce some of the specs, but the cost should still be around $190 million."
"Understood. Thank you, Senator."
"By the way, are you free tomorrow? I found a great fishing spot."
"The day after tomorrow. Send me the address."
