CHAPTER 68: Thunder

Oscorp

Norman Osborn was looking through the documents in his office, frowning from time to time.

"Where's the problem?"

"Why are there such drastic side effects..."

"I used Peter's blood to produce this new serum, but why are the side effects like this?"

Norman looked at the various data tables in front of him, thinking hard about each step of his experiment.

Where was the problem?

After failing to find the answer for a long time, Norman could only sigh helplessly.

"If only there was a Mutant to help with the experiment..."

As soon as the idea came up, it was rejected by Norman himself.

What a joke.

If he actually catches a Mutant, he might accidentally end up offending the Brotherhood of Mutants.

It's hard to say if he'll be able to survive this.

"Ah."

Thinking of this, Norman couldn't help but sneer, "First of all, this doesn't belong to humans, and the government doesn't either."

"Not to grab some to try, if I were in charge..."

As he spoke, the office door was opened by the secretary: "Boss, there are people from the army here.

"How did they get here?"

Hearing that it was someone from the army, Norman immediately stood up and straightened his suit: "Where are they now?"

"Laboratory One....."

Hearing this, Norman's face became a little heavy.

Their experiments haven't made any progress so far, so they're heading to Lab #1 for now.

Isn't it obvious that they plan to watch the experiments?

Norman quickly put on his white lab coat and went to Oscorp's lab number 1.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Norman saw some white-haired old men in military uniform not far away, standing in front of the Green flight device watching him.

This was also one of the results of Oscorp's experiments.

It is a weapon for individual combat and was developed perfectly.

Just in time to introduce them.

Norman approached with a very humble attitude: "Generals, this is a single combat weapon with very good stability..."

Before Norman could continue his presentation, the lead officer said, "Mr. Osborn, let's talk somewhere else."

There are many researchers in this laboratory.

Obviously many things cannot be said here.

Norman's face turned gloomy, he immediately knew what the other party was trying to say.

"Okay, please come with me."

Soon, under Norman's leadership, everyone went to another office.

The decor here is almost exactly the same as Norman's own office, after greeting several generals.

Norman called two other experimenters to come in through the headset.

These are all researchers who have conducted experiments with it.

When the general saw that everyone had arrived, he asked straight to the point: "How long will it take for the strengthening serum to be successfully developed?"

There was a hint of urgency in his tone.

Before Norman could speak, another experimenter explained, "General, the situation is very bad."

Norman looked away with a bad expression, but now that the general is here, it is obviously not easy for him to do something about it.

"What's wrong there?"

"After the subject was injected with the serum, there were indeed many changes in the physiological data, but what followed was that the personality became very violent."

"Even a rabbit became bloodthirsty and cruel in an instant."

After listening, the military discussed in low voices.

In the end, a unanimous conclusion was reached.

In other words, the experiment failed.

The senior general looked at Norman with some disappointment: "Mr. Osborn, I don't know how long it will take for you to develop this strengthening serum."

"You need to know that Howard and the others were able to experiment under even more difficult conditions back then."

This sentence was obviously a method of insult.

Norman said, "Don't worry, General, I'm trying to find a way to eliminate this side effect and I should see the effect soon."

The same researcher continued speaking: "General, I think the current experimental direction is a failure and should be postponed."

"There's a good chance we're going in the wrong direction to begin with."

Norman now has in his heart the desire to kill this guy.

They have been studying for three years just for the current results.

Norman immediately explained: "There is nothing wrong with the direction, we just need to improve and improve to be successful."

Their scientific researchers insisted on their own opinions, and the generals did not want to care.

Another continued: "Mr. Osborn, this is not something we want to rush into."

"We also know that not everyone is as brilliant as Mr. Howard."

When Norman heard this sentence, the more he heard it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Even though he was thinking something internally, he could only listen to the other party silently.

This is the inability to hold one's head high in the face of the military.

If it were Tony now, those few people wouldn't be able to beat him.

"Originally, we could have given more time to perfect this experiment, but the current situation is that we are running out of time."

Norman didn't understand: "Time is running out?"

"Now the air force has a brand new armor, and the Ministry of Defense has also signed a new weapons contract with Hammer Industries."

"Nowadays it's just the army, there's nothing decent left."

Norman understood that this was another internal struggle between the military and political systems.

To be frank, the relationship between departments at all levels is quite hostile.

Now that the Air Force and the Ministry of National Defense have new technological capabilities, that's why they're so eager for Norman to develop this one.

They want to create another Captain America for the Army.

The current army and military administration on the side can barely hold their heads up high.

During World War II, because of Captain America, the army was able to shine on the frontline battlefield.

However, after the disappearance of Captain America, the army suffered successive defeats on several battlefields.

Especially at the 38th parallel, they were directly crushed.

Since then, there has been no more glory.

So Norman's experiment is his new hope.

If it were before, they would still have the patience to keep waiting.

But it's not working now. If they don't hurry up, they'll be left behind by other departments.

After discovering their motive, Norman continued to promise, "Gentlemen, please trust me."

"I won't let you down, I'll continue with the research as quickly as possible."

The main purpose of their coming today is to defeat Norman.

Seeing Norman's honest assurance, the generals did not want to continue to embarrass him.

After all, in this field, apart from Norman, they really can't think of anyone who can replace him.

After explaining a few more things, the generals were led out of the lab by Norman.

Norman did not relax, but went back to his office and had a big fight with the scientist who had just spoken.

In the end, he managed to force the other group to leave.

After finishing all this, Norman pulled a doorknob in his office with satisfaction.

One wall of the office was immediately opened up, and here emerged an independent, private laboratory.

There are several samples of living bodies inside.

Norman frowned and looked at one of the cages, where several white rabbits were kept.

But now, only one of the rabbits inside is alive.

The other's white fur has been dyed red with blood, and he is eating the corpse of his companion.

But obviously in the corner of the incubator there are foods like vegetables.

Norman frowned as he looked at the spro side effects in front of him.

He still doesn't understand what's going on with this side effect.

Not to mention the solution.

"It would be great if we could get DNA samples from Captain America."

In the history of mankind, the only super soldier.

Too bad his body is in SHIELD's hands

Norman could only keep thinking of one way...

After closing the laboratory.

Norman left Oscorp and prepared to go home. After getting into the car driven by the old butler, he said, "Take me home."

"Understood, sir."

The car quickly headed towards Times Square, but the road in front was blocked.

Norman frowned at the scene: "What happened?"

"I don't know, sir."

Norman stuck his head out the window, but his pupils shrank.

He knew the cars blocking the road.

To be more precise, he recognized the sign in them.

S.H.I.E.L.D!

Why has SHIELD appeared on such a large scale in this bustling downtown area?

They have always been known for being mysterious and discreet.

Norman opened the car door directly.

"Sir!"

"Wait for me here."

Norman walked over curiously, and when he saw the scene in the middle, his pupils suddenly shrank.

He saw a strong man standing in the square, looking at the surrounding buildings with confused eyes.

Few passers-by were able to recognize this person.

But Norman recognized him immediately.

"Steve Rogers?"

"He's not dead..."

For your own experiments.

Norman found almost all the information about Captain America in the army, and he would never mistake this face.

The scene before him made Norman feel unbelievable as he realized that the person everyone believed to be dead was right in front of him.

Resurrected?

This scene completely surpassed the scope of knowledge he had acquired.

Soon, another person appeared.

It was Nick Fury, he walked up to Rogers, said something, and took him away.

Back in the car, Norman was in a trance.

He didn't understand.

How can a person be resurrected after being missing in the Arctic for 70 years?

Is this also due to the serum?

Why is the Serum developed by Howard so powerful, but he ends up encountering obstacles one after another?

Thinking about this, Norman punched the car door hard.

"Take me back to Oscorp!"

"Understood, sir."

The old butler didn't know what Norman saw to react so strongly.

But the master said, so do it.

--------

In the SHIELD car.

Nick Fury sat down

Next to him was Captain America, he continued to explain to Steve what happened after he flew the plane into the Arctic Ocean.

"Has there been any news from Bucky since then?"

Nick Fury also seems to know Steve would ask this question: "No, he's completely disappeared since then."

"So what is the current state of the world?"

Nick Fury answered all the questions asked by Steve.

"We have already prepared a place for you to live temporarily. After you adapt to this era, we will have a good talk."

Steve took the key from Nick Fury and nodded slightly.

Just when the atmosphere in the car was silent, a huge thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

Steve and Nick Fury looked up at the sky at the same time.

"How long has it been since I heard thunder?"

"If I don't count the time I slept, it's only a few days."

Nick Fury added: "It's been over 70 years."

"By the way, if you want to apply for a new ID card, should it follow your previous date of birth or give you a new date...?"

"It doesn't matter, I won't be going back there any time soon."

Steve kept the key in his hand.

He won't worry about it until he fully understands his situation.

This is the warning he gave himself.

-----

At the same time.

At Tony's house, Tony looked at JARVIS's news with an expression of disbelief.

"Unexpectedly, he was resurrected naturally."

In the image, Steve Rogers was lost on the street.

No matter how unbelievable it is, this scene really happened.

Pepper also came down at that moment, holding a glass of water for Tony.

"Tony, what are you looking at?"

Pepper approached Tony to ask a curious question, and Tony used his nickname: "a popsicle that's been frozen for 70 years."

"What?"

Pepper saw the image projected by JARVIS. At first, she only felt that the person in front of her was a little familiar.

After seeing the information given by JARVIS, I was perplexed.

"How... How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, he's some kind of superhuman, remember? I think the temperature of the glacier put him in a kind of hibernation state."

"In this state, the body maintains the minimum vitality that can sustain its life and can be awakened as long as the temperature is suitable."

Tony did the most professional analysis.

At the same time, he was also surprised by the kind of person his father was at that time.

Even something like that could be done.

As Tony looked at that image.

In the sky, there was a sudden thunder and an explosion.

"That thunder was very loud."

Tony sighed.

Then he took Pepper upstairs.

"What a loud thunder!"

Gwen, who was eating, looked at the sky curiously. The sky in the distance just flashed and there was no follow-up.

Jean and Arthur look at each other.

Jean felt that this was not ordinary thunder, it seemed to be thunder produced by some kind of energy fluctuation.

It is completely different from thunder in the traditional sense.

While Arthur felt a magical fluctuation.

Now he is also a master of magic and can sense even the smallest magical fluctuations.

What's more, it's a very powerful magic wave now.

"It looks like Odin threw Thor to Earth."

The point of time is almost that.

Arthur had no interest in the sibling rivalry or the Asgard civil war.

----

No time, no downtown New York.

A place resembling an ancient mansion, a bald woman in a yellow monk's robe was frowning and looking at the sky.

This is the direction of the thunder now.

"Odin, what are you doing on Earth again?"

At this moment, behind her, a golden circle releasing sparks appeared, and a completely different world filled with temples appeared there.

A middle-aged man with a slightly obese body and wearing ancient clothes walked out.

"Supreme Wizard, the teaching may begin."

"All the apprentices have been gathered."

"Ok, Wong."

The bald woman was the Supreme Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj.

Usually known simply as elder.

The Elder no longer looked in the direction of Thunder, he turned and entered Kamar-Taj, Wong followed closely and closed the portal
