What Exactly Happened, Professor Connors?
Gwen, who had tripped him, had never seen her mentor so anxious before.
"That guy stole my Regeneration Serum."
"This new serum is still an unfinished experimental product. If used rashly, it could cause a person's genes to collapse. People could die."
Connors was practically sprawled on the floor without a shred of dignity, hurriedly gathering the other serums that had rolled across the ground while explaining to Gwen without looking back.
"Right, call the police! There's something suspicious about that guy's identity. I'm afraid he might cause even greater chaos later."
After picking up all the serums and putting them back into his shoulder bag, Professor Connors clutched it tightly.
Then he suddenly remembered the man's identity and anxiously instructed Gwen.
"Heh, of course there's something wrong with that guy's identity."
In fact, Peter had recognized him the moment he stepped out of the elevator. He was the Hulk who had escaped the military's encirclement that morning—Dr. Banner.
"But when did Dr. Banner get involved with Connors? And why did he steal his Lizardman transformation serum?"
"And this Dr. Connors didn't seem as bad as expected?"
Peter, who had been standing silently to the side, found the situation rather strange.
"Yes, Dad. It's near the office building where I'm interning. Send someone over quickly..."
Seeing the serious worry on her mentor's face, Gwen did not hesitate. She immediately called her father, the police captain.
"Whew, I hope this doesn't turn into too much of a mess."
Seeing that Gwen had called the police, Professor Connors finally breathed a sigh of relief and at last noticed Peter standing beside her.
Then he asked Gwen in confusion, "By the way, Gwen, who is this?"
"He's my classmate, Peter Parker. I was originally planning to bring him to meet you, but I didn't expect something like this to happen..."
Gwen's face reddened slightly as she explained awkwardly.
"Hello, Peter Parker. Wait, Parker? Could your father be..."
The surname Parker instantly reminded Professor Connors of the colleague who had worked with him on genetic mutation research several years ago.
"Sorry, we can discuss these matters later. I need to return and organize my laboratory. Gwen, take your classmate Parker around the company for a proper tour first."
However, he quickly realized that this was not the time to discuss such things. He still needed to safely store the serums in his arms.
After apologizing to the two of them, he hurried toward the elevator and returned to his laboratory.
"I'm sorry, Peter. I never expected something like this to happen today."
Gwen looked at Peter with an apologetic expression.
"It's fine..."
"Oh my god! What is that?"
"Help! There's a monster!"
"Run! A monster is attacking the city!"
Just as Peter said it was fine, a huge commotion erupted outside the company.
They turned and saw countless people fleeing in panic.
"Sorry, Peter. I suddenly remembered that my band asked me to go rehearse this afternoon. I'm leaving first. See you at school tomorrow..."
Seeing the chaos outside, Gwen instantly came up with an excuse. As she spoke, she was already rushing outside, giving Peter no chance to say anything.
"Heh, so this is what it feels like to be suddenly stood up by a superhero."
Watching Gwen race out of the company, against the fleeing crowd and toward the source of the disturbance, Peter could not help feeling both amused and helpless.
"Still, this works out too..."
A few minutes earlier.
After Dr. Banner was tripped by Gwen, he panicked, grabbed a vial of serum, and ran out of Oscorp Tower.
Naturally, Oscorp's security personnel did not give up pursuing him.
And after Gwen called the police, the officers nearest to the area received the report and rushed over.
Banner was ultimately just a scientist and was not good at running.
In the end, he was helplessly cornered by both groups on a nearby street.
"Warning. Raise your hands and surrender immediately. Submit to arrest, or we have the right to shoot you on sight."
Seeing that the criminal was white, the police who had arrived nearby did not immediately give him the American-style quick-draw treatment.
Instead, they kept both hands at their waists and warned Banner to surrender at once.
"No, don't come closer. I'm about to lose control."
After his frantic escape just now, Dr. Banner's strength was nearly exhausted.
Now, surrounded by armed police, the Primordial Force within him was about to break free from suppression.
The skin on his face was already beginning to turn green.
"What did you do? Stop immediately, or we'll open fire."
As ordinary police officers, they had never seen anything like this—someone's head turning green without warning.
Without hesitation, they drew their pistols from their waists and aimed them at Banner, who was already on the verge of losing control.
Roar!
Suddenly, as green nearly covered Banner's entire face, a beast-like roar erupted from his mouth.
His body began to rapidly expand, and green skin instantly burst through his already tattered clothes.
Only a pair of big shorts made from some unknown material still barely covered his private parts.
"Although you've saved me many times, I don't want to hurt anyone else anymore. I'm sorry."
While he still retained a trace of clarity, Banner did not hesitate to viciously stab the stolen serum into his body and inject it!
"No..."
The next moment, with an unwilling roar, the last trace of clarity belonging to Banner completely vanished from his eyes.
His body, once within the bounds of humanity, instantly swelled to several meters tall, like a man-eating beast.
"Requesting backup..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Never having seen such a horrifying sight, the police called for backup while firing at the beast before them without hesitation.
Awoo!
The bullets struck the monster's body, causing it to release a chilling howl.
It seemed to be enduring unimaginable pain.
"The guns actually worked?"
Several officers could not help exchanging looks, then carefully glanced at the pistols in their hands, their faces full of astonishment.
In this situation, their guns should not have had any effect at all.
"No, it isn't because of the guns. It's because of itself."
Suddenly, one officer stared at the still-howling monster and spoke with a face full of shock.
At that moment, countless Little Bugs seemed to be writhing and crawling wildly beneath the monster's green skin. Its already enormous body grew even taller.
The constantly wriggling unknown things made its green skin bulge without end, like waves churning across a restless sea.
Pff! Pff! Pff!
Suddenly, as the bulges rose higher and higher, its green skin could no longer bear the strain and instantly burst apart.
Countless streams of thick green liquid sprayed from the ruptured areas, making anyone who looked at it feel sick.
Awoo...
As the skin across its body continued to burst, the monster howled even more miserably, as though it were suffering unbearable pain.
"What... what is happening?"
All the officers stared in horror at the terrifying sight before them, their legs refusing to obey as they stumbled backward again and again.
Suddenly, the bursting sounds and the monster's miserable howls stopped at the same time.
"Is it dead?"
All the officers stared uncertainly at the monster, whose body no longer had a single patch of intact skin. It stood silently in place with its head hanging down, as though it were completely dead.
Pff!
"Ah! It's still alive!"
Just as an officer cautiously prepared to approach and inspect it, several green fingers suddenly extended from the top of the monster's hanging head.
"Fuck, run!"
Seeing the horrifying scene before them, all the officers turned and fled without hesitation.
Rip...
The monster's head was suddenly torn apart from within by two hands.
Together with its ruined skin, it was ripped completely in half down the middle like a rag.
A new monster crawled out from the torn skin like a snake shedding its scales.
Even more shocking, this new monster possessed four thick, powerful arms.
