Superman

However, the obvious gap clearly presented in front of the public, as well as the criticisms of public opinion that are heard from time to time, still make Rogers feel heavy pressure.

He often thinks in the middle of the night alone, is Dr. Erskine more optimistic about Luke as everyone said, and he is just an incidental gift?

Or in other words, what Luke injected was actually the enhanced version of the second-generation serum, and he was a first-generation product that was not as effective as the former?

That's why I can't become a more powerful super soldier like my friends!

All kinds of guesses and ideas tormented the immature Captain America, making it difficult for him to sleep.

Until now!

Luke asked himself, do you want to be stronger?

"miss you!"

Rogers nodded heavily, the intense emotions in his heart condensed into a "yes".

Even when he was bullied in Brooklyn before, he never wanted to become stronger like he is now!

"Krypton gold can become stronger, Rogers, you haven't realized this truth yet."

Luke thought that the cultivation cost of Woden's blood is not low, and it can even be said to be quite expensive.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Berlin has not successfully mass-produced Aryan Superman.

In addition to technical constraints, the success rate is low, and there are cost issues.

"Then you can be a candidate for the Allied Superman Project."

Luke restrained his thoughts, coughed, and said solemnly: "But I want to remind you, Rogers, this is not a serum injection that can be survived with a strong will and a firm mind."

"Accepting the body transformation of Worden's blood is a very dangerous process."

"Its success rate is extremely low, and it must survive multiple mutations. Three mutations are tank-level, and 24 mutations are battleship-level."

"And Ms. Stephanie also said that the transformation plan of Woden's blood may cause great damage to the human body. You have to think carefully about shortening the life cycle!"

Luke solemnly reminds that Superman is not so easy to be.

He didn't know what direction he would take Captain America's destiny trajectory.

In any case, Rogers, who has not been frozen for 70 years, has gained a new life.

The next step is to prepare mentally for the unknown.

"I've already thought about it!"

Rogers had the fearless resolute look on his face, which he would always look like anyway.

Once you set a goal, you will never look back and rush forward.

"Alright then, let's move on to the next question."

Luke nodded and said nothing more.

This secret meeting of the Strategic Science Corps lasted for two hours.

It should have ended five or ten minutes ago, but Colonel Phillips said that he would like to say a few words next.

Then, the topic will continue to expand and the content will continue to increase.

It wasn't until Luke euphemistically reminded that it was getting late that the colonel stopped talking, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

"Steve, you stay here."

When everyone walked out of the office room, Luke stopped the excited Rogers.

"I want to have a good talk with you. Well, let's start with the blonde girl at the ball. Her name is Margaery, right? How are you two, have you been in touch recently?"

Luke leaned back in his chair and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Yes. Everyone thought the war was coming to an end. She was a Scottish girl, so we returned to Edinburgh early and we sometimes wrote to each other."

Rogers pulled his chair and sat down. He scratched his head and said with a little embarrassment: "But you know, Luke. I'm not very good at chatting, and I can't write any funny jokes, so I'm very distressed."

Captain America, who is in love for the first time, is no different from ordinary people.

No, to be more precise, he may be a little worse than many people.

After all, Luke really couldn't imagine Rogers, who had always been serious, saying nasty words with affection.

"There's no need to show your humor. You're not Howard. You can just talk about the little things that happened in your life. Just let that lucky girl feel your care."

Luke smiled, and then said seriously: "Steve, we are friends."

"So, I don't want my existence to cause you pressure. I know there are speculations and rumors circulating in the military about super soldiers, about me and you. They said some nasty things."

"But I told you a long time ago that Dr. Erskine is more optimistic about you than what others say, you are just a gift."

"Steve, there are qualities in you that I don't and don't have."

"Frankly speaking, I'm not a good person in the true sense. I have my own considerations in everything I do, whether it's a factor of interest or personal interest. I never show meaningless mercy to the enemy, nor No sympathy for the weak."

"So, I lack the ingredients to be a hero, and I have no interest in doing it. In comparison, I am actually more similar to Howard, we are both passionate about leading others, standing on a higher level, and being the one who calls the shots. decision maker."

Luke stared deeply at Rogers. He didn't hide his true nature, just like he didn't hide his abilities in the Caspian training camp.

If we say that the future of this world is destined to be an era of superheroes.

Then he is more inclined to be a protector, controller, and containr.

Instead of putting on the armor and red cape, I am busy every day sending the kitten on the tree back to its owner, saving the wrecked plane, and the wrecked ship

The bottom line is that Luke doesn't intend to be a superhero as a career.

He also doesn't want to see Captain America risking his participation in the "Allied Superman" project because he wants to catch up with him.

After hearing all this, Rogers restrained his smile and became silent.

After a while, he said hoarsely: "I have to admit, you have caused me a lot of pressure, Luke."

"Although we are friends, I still envy you sometimes. What I long for is not the honors you get, nor the admiration from others, but that you will always be the first when others need you." The ability to rush forward in time."

"When I was in Brooklyn, Bucky would often be surrounded by those gangsters. I couldn't help him, and I would become a drag. After I met you, it was different. You always have a way to deal with all kinds of troubles, street gangsters , bootlegger, gangster, over time, Bucky and I are used to looking for you whenever we have a problem."

"I did have the idea of ​​chasing you, Luke. But then this idea quickly disappeared, because no matter how good you are, no matter how powerful you are, you will always be my friend. Who would be jealous of a friend's achievements?"

There was a smile on the corner of Rogers' mouth, he looked at Luke with a calm face, and said sincerely: "I long to become stronger, but I just want to have the power to help. At least when you need me, I can stand up , don’t let you fight alone.”

The office fell into a brief silence, and after a while, a burst of hearty laughter came out.

Chapter 62 The Delightful Experience of the First Mutation

A week later, the first batch of recipients transformed by "Worden's blood" were ready.

There are a total of 320 people whose blood reacts with the red spar, and they are eligible candidates for the "Allied Superman" project.

It is now being placed in a camp outside London, awaiting initial trials.

It has to be said that when the state machine is activated, everything is quite efficient.

From the selection of suitable candidates to the selection of qualified recipients, the speed is astonishingly fast.

"Brigadier General Carville, the next step is the process of transformation. However, I still suggest that you and the top allied forces do not hold out too much hope."

In Bletchley Manor, Luke and Stephanie are walking on the tree-lined path.

Not long ago, news came from the Allied Forces that the Holy General who was in charge of the "Aryan Superman" project, for some reason, took the lead in reversing, and a backstab of two or five boys killed the ambitious Führer who was about to show his ambitions .

The sudden change caused Berlin to fall into temporary chaos.

The subsequent change of power and the cleansing of forces further delayed the progress of the Third Reich.

As a result, the Holy General, who finally created the "Aryan Superman", could not immediately expand his advantage.

For this situation, the Allies are naturally happy to see it.

I hope to buy more time, it is best to wait until the Allied Superman army is mass-produced.

Therefore, the two camps maintain a delicate balance, which can also be understood as being in the cooldown period of climbing the technology tree and working hard to explode soldiers.

"To manufacture a tank-level soldier, it takes at least half a month of transformation and several weeks of intensive training before they can officially serve and set foot on the battlefield."

Stephanie explained.

"Worden's blood is not like a serum. After being injected, you can become a super soldier and become stronger. It has a transformation process, from the skin on the surface to the muscle fibers and cells inside, etc. Something drastic has happened."

Luke nodded, understanding.

He is not the same as the high-level allied forces who want to see results urgently.

As the saying goes, haste makes waste.

It took several years of research in Berlin to produce three "Battleship Classes". How fast can the Allies go?

"Regarding the cultivation of Woden's blood and research work, I found Dr. Anim Zola. He used to be the chief scientist of Hydra. He has designed powerful energy weapons and has certain experience in biology."

As the leader of the Strategic Science Corps, Luke has considerable power and can mobilize many resources.

Recruiting Dr. Zola, who was imprisoned, into the team was nothing more than a trivial matter.

"You don't trust us?"

Stephanie raised her eyebrows. These days Luke has already placed a lot of people in the "Allied Superman" plan.

Like Steve Rogers, one of the first recipients.

There is also the person in charge of deciphering ancient documents, Peggy Carter. Although the other party is British, she seems to be more inclined to the American side.

Now, there is another Dr. Zola.

"This is the reward for rescuing you, Ms. Stephanie. The Prime Minister promised to share with the Strategic Science Corps about the transformation technology of Worden's Blood and related information."

Luke looked calm, he was not a voluntary laborer who did good deeds without asking for anything in return.

"Well, I'm just a scientific researcher anyway, so I don't care about these."

Stephanie shook her head and did not continue the topic.

In fact, she didn't care much about national interests.

Winning the Axis Powers and ending the World War was what Stephanie cared about.

"Commander Cavill, your friend Steve Rogers has opted into the Allied Superman program."

The female spy blinked her eyes, showing her signature charming smile, and tentatively said: "He is a super soldier, and he is unique in himself. According to my experience, Rogers may have a chance to survive 24 mutations and become a battleship class. Are you not upset at all?"

"With the strength of your Excellency Commodore, if you participate in the transformation of the human body, you will only become stronger! Maybe you can surpass the battleship class and become a more perfect creature!"

Luke shook his head, rejecting Stephanie's rather tempting suggestion.

He said indifferently: "I don't need to be a Superman, because I am already."

Even if he really wanted to use "Worden's blood" to improve himself, he would have to wait until Dr. Zola conducted research and confirmed that there was no problem.

In the world of superheroes, the poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology.

But Luke, he relies on cheating!

Two days later, camp outside London.

Rogers was wearing only a pair of shorts and sitting topless in a high-backed chair.

His hands and feet were tightly bound, restricting his ability to move.

"It will hurt, Captain Rogers. And it's your first time. Considering the consequences of failure, you can choose to give up."

Stephanie was wearing a white coat and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.

"I can bear it, come on!"

Rogers took a few deep breaths and said he was ready.

The ambiguous dialogue between the two made the atmosphere a bit weird.

It was as if some kind of adult game that was not suitable for children was about to be played between them.

"Steve, don't let me down, I'm still waiting to fight side by side with you and raid Berlin."

Luke automatically ignored the previous pornographic chat record, and stood aside to cheer.

"I'll try my best. If it fails, Luke, remember to help me take care of Margaery, tell her not to be too sad, and find a better man."

Perhaps Rogers was worried that he might not be able to make it through, so he prepared his last words in advance.

"Actually, I have already thought about it. When the war is over, I will return to Brooklyn."
