Chapter 85 Crossing the Line of Death

"Colonel Phillips, you can't go in anymore." Steve, who had just returned from the battlefield, stood upright in front of the tent. One of his eyebrows was scorched, but this did not affect his heroic appearance in the slightest.

"Captain Rogers, although you are a big star in the United States, don't forget that you are just a captain in the army. It is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey the orders of your superiors." Colonel Phillips glanced at Steve angrily. Thinking of the tall and mighty Captain America in front of him, was it because he looked down on that thin little man the most?

"Colonel, Edward followed me back here, so I am fully responsible for his affairs," Steve said resolutely.

Now that Steve's height forced the colonel to look up, the colonel slowed down his tone, "Edward is dying, let him play the last value."

"Colonel, you are wrong. Edward is the only one of us who has personally been to Hydra's secret base in the Alps. After he recovers, he can take us there in person, which will be more valuable than any drawings", Steve's clear-sky blue eyes shone with determination.

"Captain Rogers, your time on the battlefield is very short," Colonel Phillips roared. "I have seen too many deaths. Sergeant Edward is dead. He has no chance to go to the battlefield again."

"Colonel, as long as you don't step into the tent again, I guarantee that Edward will not die." Steve raised his eyebrows, "I believe he will survive!"

"Captain America, you are not omnipotent. You are not a doctor, who would believe such a thing?" Colonel Phillips narrowed his eyes and said in a mocking tone.

"I believe in Captain America," Peggy came out of the tent, "Colonel, don't forget, last time I believed in Captain America, so I sent him to the battlefield. Later, he destroyed the Hydra base in northern Italy by himself. Bring back all the prisoners of war. At that time, you were sending the obituary to the captain. This time, I will make the same choice."

"Agent Carter, you..." Colonel Phillips didn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted by a magnetic voice.

"I also believe in Captain America," Howard walked over with raised eyebrows, and patted Steve on the shoulder.After noticing Peggy's stern eyes, he quickly extinguished the cigar in his hand.

Colonel Phillips was extremely angry. He didn't expect that his beloved General Carter would turn against Captain America again and again. Now even the military's top weapons contractor is on the side of Captain America. Why would a super soldier made of serum have such a big Charisma?The colonel was puzzled.

"Captain Rogers, you have to bear the consequences for what you said," Colonel Phillips left angrily.

Seeing the back of Colonel Phillips going away, Steve said angrily, "It's all my fault, Edward is so sick!"

"No, it's the murderer's fault, we're still investigating..." Peggy looked at Steve with gentle eyes, trying to comfort him.

"Hey, guys, in fact, I came here to tell you that the murderer has been found." Howard showed a characteristic smile, "I judged the height and weight of the murderer based on the size and depth of the footprints, and let Connie and the others Of those who qualified, we asked who had been out that night, and there was only one qualified, Corporal Hodge."

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, Howard brushed off his mustache and said modestly, "I'm not a great detective, I'm just a talented physicist who is quite popular with women."

"I'm going to have to talk to Hodge," Steve's eyes sharpened.

Steve put his hands on Hodge's shoulders, turned directly into his tent, and said straight to the point, "Hodge, I already know that you pushed Edward into the water, why did you do that?"

Hodge first showed a look of surprise on his face, and then flew into a rage, "He's not Edward at all! I'm not even able to recognize a company comrade. The real Edward has been sacrificed, but you put that The counterfeit treats you as a friend..."

"Whether he's Edward or not, everything he's done has proven that he's our friend," Steve's eyes burst into flames.

"You are a coward, you can only show sympathy. I really don't know why Dr. Erkins chose you in the first place. You are not worthy of being Captain America!" Hodge spat hard on the ground after finishing speaking.

"If you're still bitter that Erkins didn't pick you, Dr. Erkins never considered you. I remember Dr. Erkins recruiting me to the barracks When I was asked if I wanted to kill Nazis, my answer was I don't want to kill anyone, I hate bullies, no matter where they come from. Maybe that's the difference between us", Steve looked Hodge in the eyes, and said: said suddenly.

"Anyway, he is Hydra, the executioner who killed countless of our brothers. We should have cut him to pieces, and it would have been easier for him to push him into the water," Hodge said through gritted teeth.

"Hatred blinded you. Edward was going to tell Colonel Phillips as much information as possible about Hydra's secret base, but you pushed him into the frozen lake. Just now, he was desperate for Phillips The colonel drew half a blueprint, if something happens to him, you are the executioner who killed our countless brothers!" Steve was extremely angry, and said while grabbing Hodge's collar.

"What!" Hodge finally realized that he had made a big mistake.

"You will be punished as you deserve, and Colonel Phillips will not let you go, but I will tell him the truth after destroying Hydra's last base. Before that, you'd better pray that Edward will be okay", Steve left without looking back, knowing that if he told the colonel at this time, Hodge would receive the most severe punishment no matter whether Edward survived or not.

"I won't thank you," Hodge gritted his teeth. He realized that Captain America had given him a chance to make amends. "I will prove that even without the help of serum, I am better than you powerful!"

"I'll wait for that day." Captain America paused, and opened the curtain of the tent. The white snow reflected the cold sunlight, which was extraordinarily glaring. The weather was actually colder than snow.

"Clint..." Kevin vaguely saw Clint running ahead, as if they had returned to the days when they were training together, but Kevin felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't catch up. Follow in his footsteps.

"Edward," Peggy called softly when she saw that Kevin was waking up.

"Clint?" Kevin has called this name countless times on the hospital bed. When he encountered death last time, fortunately, Clint was always by his side, but this time, Kevin felt that he was suffering Not over.

"It's me, Peggy," Peggy smiled and helped Kevin up, and then raised the pillow.

"Peggy?" Kevin opened his eyes, his voice so hoarse that he couldn't hear it.He felt hot all over, as if surrounded by hellfire, and the pain on his body was no less than when he was cursed.

"Drink some water," Peggy carefully handed the cup to Kevin's lips.Kevin took a sip of water, lay down again, and stared blankly at the top of the tent.He is very aware of his current situation. When a person is on the verge of death, he will feel it.

Kevin blinked his dry eyes in despair. When he crossed over, his only wish was to see Clint again. Unexpectedly, his wish came true, but the Clint he saw was still ten years old. child.Maybe it's fate, he may never get a second chance.

Peggy left the tent in tears and called in the military doctor, who was joined by Steve and Howard.

"How is he?" Steve asked anxiously.

"Maybe it's a flashback." The military doctor shook his head helplessly, "His illness was already very dangerous, but the cold brought in by Colonel Phillips and the others aggravated his illness. Now there is no hope, so ask him what other wishes he has. "

"What does it mean that there is no hope? Even if there is still a little possibility, we can't give up!" Steve wanted to ask again. The military doctor had already gone out, and there were still patients in other tents who needed his rescue.

Steve couldn't help but shed tears. If he hadn't been too conceited and thought he wouldn't be drunk, what happened later would not have happened.Steve said to Peggy and Howard who was silent, "I want to talk to him alone."

There were only the two of them left in the tent, Steve was wearing a warm coat, sitting beside Kevin's bed, "Edward, I'm sorry..."

"I forgive you", Kevin smiled, the last light in his blue eyes gradually dimmed, "Steve, I don't think I can go back, can you do me a favor?"

"What's the matter?" Steve hurriedly put his ear next to Kevin's mouth, trying to hear every word he said clearly.Steve knew that this was probably his last wish.

Kevin soon passed out again, and Steve walked out of the tent with tears in his eyes, "I told him to hold on, but he told me he couldn't make it through. He asked me to bury him. Circle the forget-me-not seeds..."

"Forget-me-not? Does this flower have special meaning to him?" Peggy asked casually.

"Meaning?" Steve frowned, and he remembered the name Peggy mentioned that Edward had said countless times, "Peggy, you're so smart, where are the forget-me-nots now?"

"I'm afraid that the current weather can only be found in the south," Peggy said after looking up at the sky and thinking for a while. "Wait, you don't mean to..."

"Yes," Steve's clear-sky eyes sparkled, "maybe this flower will save Edward's life."

"How do you know?" Peggy frowned.

"Trust Captain America," Steve showed a long-lost smile, and he turned to Howard beside him, "Mr. Stark, would you take me there?"

"Yes, man," said Howard with his signature smile.

"Are you going to cross the battlefield?" Peggy opened her mouth in surprise.

"I believe in Howard's flying skills, we've already experienced it once, haven't we?" Steve smiled pretendingly.

Howard waved to Peggy with a handsome flying cap, but Peggy didn't give him as much eyes as Steve.

"During our absence, please protect Edward!" Steve shouted.

"I will! You have to be careful," Peggy waved towards the plane.When the plane ran across the snow, there was a gust of wind, and Peggy held her breath nervously. She looked at the plane worriedly, and prayed for the two crazy men who were about to cross the death line.

The plane finally passed away in the intermittent strong wind, piercing the sky until it completely disappeared from Peggy's field of vision, and she hurried back to Kevin's tent, "Ghosts, we must hold on until they come back!"
