Chapter 43

He could withstand powerful impact and striking force that would kill ordinary people on the spot, even without the protection of the Cloth, and even if injured, his powerful self-healing ability, far exceeding that of ordinary people, could still allow him to recover faster from fatigue and minor injuries.

Today, the fragment that shot out from the high-speed rotating centrifuge was just like that.

If he hadn't taken action at that time, Gwen would have had no hope of survival under this fragment, and if nothing went wrong, she would have been shot in the head by this fragment on the spot.

But this wasn't the point.

The point is...

Hawk, while recalling the scene where he instinctively took action, used his left hand to rub the position on his right palm where he felt pain at that time.

Just as he was frowning, not knowing what he was thinking, the phone placed on the side rang.

Hawk came back to his senses, was slightly taken aback, and looked at the phone that had rung for the first time since he bought the SIM card.

Connected.

"Hello?"

"... Right, it's me, you've arrived?"

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Hung up the phone.

Hawk got up from the ground, with a 'whoosh', his figure disappeared on the spot, and when he appeared again, he was already at the fire escape, then returned to his new apartment through the window, opened his backpack, and took out five hundred dollars from it.

His computer had arrived.

Ten minutes later.

At the entrance of the bridge park across the street.

Hawk came to the park entrance, looked at the empty surroundings, took out his phone from his pocket, found the only number in the call history, and dialed it.

Just then, the lights of a van parked not far away flickered.

Hawk instinctively looked toward that van.

The driver's door of the van opened, and immediately after, an Asian woman with thick brown long hair, looking at most twenty years old, walked out from inside and shook her phone at Hawk.

Hawk looked at the Asian woman's appearance and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Skye?

Skye, standing next to her van/RV, looked at Hawk who was walking over: "Superman isn't as good as me?"

Hawk nodded: "Right."

Hearing this, Skye didn't talk nonsense, took out a laptop, and handed it to Hawk: "Just like described when we chatted this afternoon, used for three years, ninety percent new, I've already redone the system, you check it, if there's no problem, then give the money."

Hawk said 'um', and didn't say anything like 'no need', and took the computer.

After all, this is a big item worth five hundred dollars.

If he weren't a bit embarrassed, he would have wanted to ask Gwen if she had an unused computer she could give him.

Still the same saying.

Bottom lines are meant to be broken.

Although the phone he has now was shoved to him by Gwen, he accepted it after all.

But Hawk thought for a moment and felt that a man should still be a bit reserved.

However...

He never expected that a seller he found randomly on the second-hand market using an office computer this afternoon would turn out to be another well-known figure in the Marvel Universe.

Skye.

The future Quake.

Hawk, while sighing in his heart, checked the computer Skye brought to sell, confirmed that it could start normally and run some built-in programs, closed the computer, and then took out the prepared five hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it over.

Skye took the five Franklins and also checked them.

After a while.

Skye put away the five hundred dollars, reached out to Hawk, and smiled: "Happy cooperation."

Hawk switched the computer to his left hand and also extended his right hand: "Happy cooperation."

No small talk.

Only business.

After the transaction was completed, Skye didn't say a word, got into the car, started her van, and drove away from the spot with a 'vroom vroom vroom'.

Hawk returned to his new apartment, placed the computer he bought from Skye on the folding table, and by the way, also placed the phone Gwen gave him on the side.

Um.

Comparing the two, Gwen is still better.

Wait a minute, what am I thinking.

Hawk frowned again, shook the distracting thoughts out of his mind, and immediately connected the computer he bought from Skye to the hotspot of the phone Gwen gave him.

Next step.

Quantico.

Hawk directly opened the satellite map webpage and located it to the coordinates of Quantico.

Although the satellite map hid some more confidential buildings and things.

But this is irrelevant.

Hawk, with just one glance, saw a dilapidated building surrounded by iron sheets on the satellite map.

He spent half an hour confirming that this building was the lab where Dr. Bruce Banner was at Quantico at the time.

Now the internet is very developed, especially after the exposure of the original Avengers, not to mention Bruce Banner was already exposed once in 2009.

So...

Regarding Bruce Banner's life, why he became the Hulk, and when he became the Hulk, these messages are all on the internet.

At the same time, the gossip about Bruce Banner and Betty Ross once dating was also exposed.

But this is not the focus of Hawk's attention.

Hawk, who was in his new apartment, had one hand supporting his chin, one hand sliding on the computer touchpad, looking at the introduction and satellite map of the Quantico military base on the screen, his gaze falling on the locked abandoned lab, lost in thought.

He felt he might have to break his bottom line prematurely.

No way.

He has no money, and even if he had money, Quantico probably wouldn't sell the Gamma stone to him.

But he wants the Gamma stone.

After all, it concerns the Cloth.

So there is only one path in front of him.

If you don't give it, then I can only rob it.

But...

Robbing Quantico's Gamma stone is different from robbing Wakanda's Vibranium.

Let's put it this way.

If he robs Wakanda's Vibranium, it doesn't matter even if it's exposed; it's a bit like automatically matching teammates as long as he dares to start a team fight, at that time the whole world won't come to find his trouble, but will find Wakanda's trouble, no need to think, the five great powers will definitely let Wakanda hand over the Vibranium, at the very least they will let Wakanda agree to the UN garrison.

So Hawk didn't take Wakanda to heart at all.

But robbing Quantico is different.

However...

Gamma stone.

I am determined to get it.

Hawk looked at the satellite map of Quantico on the computer screen, his eyes flickering.
