Sentinel

Chapter 141 Sleeping for 70 Year

The black-and-white video records the technology and creation of the last century. The flashing lights and shadows seem to bring the handsome man back to that era. His face shows a complex expression, which seems to be nostalgic and regretful, as if he was that period. Witness to history.

At that time, he was far from being as tall and strong as he is now, just a thin and small man who weighed less than a hundred pounds. His father unfortunately died of mustard gas by the Germans, and his mother was a nurse who was shot to death by stray bullets. Friends who have experienced similar experiences, there are no other relatives and friends.

The smoke of World War II filled that chaotic era. Due to the agitation of public opinion, almost every young man at that time was eager to join the army and go to the battlefield to win the war.

Because of his thin body and failed the physical examination, the handsome man was rejected by the recruiter several times in a row. If he hadn't gone to the Stark Industries Expo with his friends, he would not have encountered a turning point that changed his life.

"Nostalgia is not a good habit." The clear voice interrupted the man's memory, he turned his head and found a young man walking over.

The other party pointed to the black-and-white video that was still playing. Howard Stark in the screen was giving a speech, expounding his vision and yearning for future technology.Like his son, this business tycoon who later built a huge military-industrial empire liked the feeling of being sought after, but the only difference was that Howard was more businessman-like.

"Most people don't linger in this exhibition area. No one likes these outdated things." Sean looked at the rather low-key handsome man wearing a peaked cap.

He didn't expect to meet this legendary figure here. According to the timeline, the other party should have just woken up and was temporarily staying in S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Looking at these, I feel as if I had slept for a long time and just woke up from a dream." The handsome man's face was slightly sad, like a veteran remembering the glorious years of the past.

His name is Steve Rogers, the famous Captain America, a beneficiary of the super soldier serum, who once led the army of the Allied Powers, defeated the Nazis, and destroyed Hydra's crazy plan to conquer the planet.

"You look very similar to a friend I know." Sean said softly.

The appearance of this handsome man is very similar to that of Johnny the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four. If he hadn't looked calmer and was not as frivolous and lively as Johnny himself, then perhaps Sean would have felt that he had mistaken him.

"This sounds like an old-fashioned way to strike up a conversation with a girl." The man glanced at the finished black and white video with nostalgia. It was a lost time that he could never get back.

"I wouldn't use such a lame reason to strike up a conversation with a war hero." Sean smiled lightly. He stood next to the man, and the video was played again. With Howard's voice, the vicissitudes of [-] Years flow in this quiet space.

The man was a little surprised, and smiled wryly, "You know me?"

"How many children in the United States have not read your comics? How many people have not collected Captain America's small cards and visited World War II museums?"

Sean looked at the tall, strong and handsome man, smiled lightly and said, "Hello, Captain."

Steve seemed quite surprised to be called out for his identity. He had just woken up from a deep sleep, and he felt strange to everything in the outside world.It's like waking up and opening your eyes, opening the curtains and looking out, only to find that the world has changed, and the former partners and lovers are either dead or old, and you are alone.

"Is there anyone who remembers an old man like me?" Steve laughed at himself.

After he was rescued from the glacier by S.H.I.E.L.D., he gradually woke up from his slumber. When the plane crashed, under the action of huge water pressure and extremely cold temperature, he almost lost consciousness instantly and was frozen. The super soldier serum made his body maintain an extremely slow metabolism under that circumstance.

After sleeping for 70 years, when he woke up, everything was different, which made Steve a little uncomfortable.As a soldier, he finds that the war is won; as a man, his lover is old, lying in a hospital bed, and most of the friends he once knew have passed away. This kind of unspeakable loneliness makes Nick Fury He hired a psychiatrist for counseling.

"Heroes never go out of style no matter what era they are in." Sean snorted softly, "Who is the strong and brave man who saves America—the man with the Stars and Stripes with big plans."

Hearing this familiar melody, Steve's cheeks twitched. The days of selling national debt for senators can be called his rare dark history.

As the only successful super soldier, he was not sent to the dangerous battlefield filled with gunpowder as he wished, braved the hail of bullets, and fought hard to end the war. Instead, he became the best tool for politicians to promote national debt. Well-written lines and funny shows, if it wasn't for the rescue of his captured friend Bucky, Steve might not have become a war hero.

"Introduce yourself, Sean Sipers." The young man stopped teasing the senior.

Time has the magic power to change everything. This song was inspiring in the war years and inspired people to contribute to the country, but now it seems like a satire.

This is enough to prove that the times have long been different. It is no wonder that the former Captain America was full of confusion and hesitation when he woke up again. He once swore to defend the national flag and peace, but the United States no longer needs his protection.

"I'm learning how to use the Internet recently, and I often see your news." Retracting the thoughts in his mind, Steve showed a friendly smile.

He has to slowly adapt to many things in the new era. In the past 70 years, this war hero has missed too much. No matter love or other things, they all fade away with the long time.

Steve, who seldom talked to other people, caught a glimpse of the man in black in the crowd out of the corner of his eye, and there was a trace of apology on his face, "Sorry, it looks like I have to leave first."

"I live in Brooklyn, and I will buy you a drink next time." Steve smiled heartily, patted Sean on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

Staying in S.H.I.E.L.D. all day, either facing a psychiatrist, or various government officials or black-clothed agents, no matter who they are, they will feel tired.This was the first time he came back to activities alone, but there was still a group of secret service personnel behind him.

Seeing the disappearance of a group of men in black, the smile on the young man's face gradually cooled down, and he couldn't help being a little curious, wondering how S.H.I.E.L.D. would use to investigate him.

When the Stark Industries Expo is over, maybe the protoss prince from Asgard will come to this planet and officially unveil the mystery of the Nine Kingdoms.

If the birth of Iron Man ushered in a new era of superheroes, then the arrival of the Asgardians announced to everyone that the earth is not a unique civilized race.

Maybe at that time, people will realize that apart from this blue planet, there is still a vast galaxy waiting for them to conquer and explore. A small planet can no longer carry the rapidly developing civilization of the earth. After setting foot in the sky and ocean, human beings will set their sights on the boundless universe.

Xiao En's cold expression couldn't help but relax. He was looking forward to that day, and even more eager to welcome the era of stars and seas with his own hands.
