In the slums of Rio Porverde, Bruce Banner stood by the window of his rented house and carefully observed the surroundings.
After making sure that no one was watching him, he left his residence with his hood on. He planned to stroll around the slums built on the mountain.
He was familiar with the nearby streets so that he could escape and see if there were any jobs.
However, what he didn't know was that his every move was being monitored.
In a small truck on a hill two kilometers away, Brownski was monitoring Banner's every move through a high-powered telescope.
After reading Banner's information and suffering from the Transformers, he didn't want to fight with a super violent person like Hulk who threw a car like a baseball.
Therefore, he, who had already come to Rio, didn't make a move as soon as he came up.
Through these two days of observation, Bronski also saw that although Banner was very cautious and smart, he was after all just an ordinary scientist.
He never thought that in the slums, as long as he had money and was willing to spend it, there were plenty of Grey Gangs who did things for money.
These Grey Gang members who lived in the slums all year round, even if they stared at Banner when they passed by him, he wouldn't suspect that he was being watched.
Instead, he thought that he had accidentally broken into the Grey Gang's territory, so he lowered his head and left quickly.
After doing this a few times, Banner came to the area that Bronski hoped to see.
A clinic sign was hanging on a dilapidated two-story building, and on the outer wall of the clinic, there was an advertisement for medical staff.
Banner, who needed work, walked into the clinic without thinking much.
Looking at the empty clinic, Banner shouted in confusion, "Hello, is anyone here?"
"Wait, wait a moment." A woman's voice came from the second floor of the clinic.
Hearing that it was a middle-aged woman's voice, Banner instinctively let down his guard.
Standing at the front desk of the clinic, he looked around and saw various photos hanging on the mottled walls, as well as old and simple medical equipment. He felt even more relieved.
"Dong, dong, dong." A series of heavy footsteps came downstairs, and a middle-aged woman in a white coat who was at least 200 pounds walked down.
"Where are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no, ma'am," Banner hurriedly explained, "I came in after seeing the advertisement outside."
"Are you a doctor?" The middle-aged woman looked at Banner happily. After seeing what he was wearing, she couldn't help frowning. "Do you have a license?"
"This, this," Banner paused, "Madam, I, I am."
"Alright, I understand," the middle-aged woman waved her hand and interrupted Banner. "If you don't have a status, I can only give you ten reals a day."
"Ten … ten reais?"
Banner looked at the fat doctor in front of him in shock. Three hundred reals was less than sixty dollars.
After staying here for two days, he knew very well that with this amount of money, other than buying some ordinary food to fill his stomach, there was no way he could do anything else.
But Banner, who didn't have much money on him, just thought about it and nodded in agreement. And the more stingy this fat doctor was, the more reasonable he felt it was.
In this way, Banner worked in this small clinic and received several patients with unbearable pain such as toothaches and stomachaches. Unknowingly, the morning passed quickly.
At noon, the fat doctor named Carly said to Banner, "Do you need me to prepare lunch for you? It's only three reals. "
'Damn Grandet,' Banner cursed in his heart. Then he heard his stomach growling a few times. He said helplessly, "Okay, I hope I can eat enough."
Not long after, Carly came over with two plates.
Taking the plate, Banner silently rolled his eyes. He shouldn't have expected anything from this woman. In addition to two pieces of bread and a small pile of beans and mashed potatoes, there was only a little ketchup on the plate.
On Carly's plate, in addition to a few foods that were the same as his own, there was also a large piece of barbecue.
Carly rolled her eyes at Banner and curled her lips. "Sorry, if you want to eat barbecue, ten reals for a meal."
Sighing silently, Banner could only take the spoon and start eating lunch.
Seeing Banner eat all the food, Carly was delighted. While eating the barbecue, she waited for Banner to fall.
But after waiting for the whole afternoon, Banner was busy in the clinic as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, this woman named Carly was a veteran who had been hiding for many years. Even if she was shocked that Banner was not afraid of anesthetics, there was no flaw in her expression and tone.
At eight o 'clock in the evening, she extorted three reals from Banner for dinner. Carly gave Banner four reals and let him get off work.
Bronski, who was two kilometers away, was talking to Ross on the phone.
After hearing that Banner was not afraid of the drug that could paralyze an elephant with one drop, Ross had a big headache.
Anesthetics were useless, and a strong attack was also unreliable. Once Banner transformed into Hulk and hid in the rainforest, it would be even more troublesome to catch him.
Moreover, this was Rio. If there were a large number of casualties, even if he had great power now, he would not be able to stop the impeachment of the parliament.
After thinking silently for a while, he said, "Since he works in the clinic, do you think he will use the clinic's equipment to do various tests for himself?
Also, isn't he looking for some plants? Let someone get in touch with him and stabilize him. We'll find a way to control him. "
"Hehe, understood, sir."
In this way, Carly, who received the order, received a series of phone calls the next day. She went to the clinic with a medical kit, but no patient came to the clinic for the whole day.
On the third day, Carly went to the clinic again, but no one came to the clinic for the whole morning. Banner somewhat understood why Carly was so stingy. He could not help but look at the old equipment in the clinic.
He struggled for the whole afternoon. In the evening, Carly, who had not been back for long, received a phone call when she was making dinner. She then mysteriously asked Banner if he could perform surgery and if he wanted to make some extra money.
After thinking for a few seconds, Banner understood that someone from the Grey Gang must have been injured and asked Carly to come to the clinic to perform surgery.
Banner shook his head and said that he had never held a scalpel before.
"Idiot, no wonder you're still a poor man."
After mocking Banner, Carly took off her white coat and walked out with the box on her back.
Before she went out, she turned back and shouted to Banner, "I'm not coming back tonight. You stay here so that when I get home tomorrow, the clinic will be emptied."
"Okay, okay."
As soon as Carly left, Banner's mind became active. He had not checked the concentration of gamma rays in his blood sample for almost ten days.
Even if the clinic's equipment was very outdated, at least there was a microscope.
After closing the clinic at night, Banner began to test his blood, and his every move had been transmitted to Bronski by the hidden camera in the clinic.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Carly, it's your turn."
"Bang, bang, bang, Bruce, open the door."
Banner, who was about to do a blood test, heard Carly's anxious shout outside the clinic.
Banner, who was caught in the act, quickly hid the blood sample in the drawer and got up to open the door for Carly.
"What the hell are you doing in here?"
