A week later, Luke and Rogers left Lehigh training camp and got into a car heading to New York.
As for the new recruits in training, they are reserve forces.
If the serum injection is successful, everyone has a chance to become a super soldier.
"I never expected that after all the detours, I would end up back in Brooklyn!"
Rogers sighed.
He sat next to Luke and looked through the car window at the familiar buildings retreating.
"So the colonel is right, good luck favors fools."
Luke joked.
When Rogers learned that he had been selected to become a super soldier experimenter, he couldn't wait to share it with him, and saw Colonel Phillips in the barracks.
The latter glanced at Rogers with a look of disgust and said the above sentence.
"This is not good luck! All thanks to you and Dr. Erskine! I wouldn't have gotten to this point without your help."
Rogers said seriously.
He heard from Colonel Phillips that it was Luke who recommended him to Dr. Erskine.
Although Rogers is not good at expressing emotions, he buried this gratitude deep in his heart.
"If you were a woman, I might accept the thanks."
Luke made a disgusted expression and joked: "See if that block, that alley, and the parking lot behind it are all your former 'battlefields'!"
Rogers lowered his head and smiled awkwardly.
Because he could not get rid of his nosy habit, he received many beatings.
The "battlefield" Luke refers to is actually a place where he has been beaten before.
"Why don't you run away?"
Carter, who was driving in the front, spoke out.
She is the entourage this time and is responsible for bringing Luke and Rogers safely to their destination.
"If you run once, you will keep running! If you stand up and fight back, one day you will have a chance to defeat the opponent!"
Rogers spoke of his inner feelings, and his sincere tone moved Carter a little.
Dr. Erskine's choice of the other party was not without reason. At least his courage is worthy of praise.
“I often have the experience of being looked down upon in a certain field.”
Carter seemed to be aroused and rarely said a few more words.
On weekdays at the Caspian training camp, this female officer is like an iceberg that no one dares to approach.
Even Howard Stark, a well-known love expert, has encountered waterloo many times and has not even extended an invitation to dinner.
"Miss Carter, I don't understand why you want to join the army. You are a beautiful lady..."
Rogers glanced at Carter and began to speak with a touching straight man's emotional intelligence - you must know that what the other party hates most is that others say that she is beautiful and not suitable for the career of an agent.
Carter has a strong character and never thinks that his ability will be lost to that of any man.
Seeing that Rogers was about to anger his future girlfriend, Luke quickly smoothed things over and asked aloud: "How long until the arrival?"
"Soon."
Carter glanced at Rogers coldly, snorted, and stopped talking.
The latter looked innocent and had no idea what he said wrong.
"Rogers, your level of chatting up women is the worst I've ever seen!"
Luke shook his head and lowered his voice.
For the rest of the car ride, the car remained quiet.
In about twenty minutes, they arrived at their destination.
The three of them got out of the car and opened the door of the antique store.
Yes, this is the secret base of the Strategic Science Corps.
Carter exchanged communication signals with an old woman and led Luke and Rogers into the inner room.
"It's such an old-fashioned design."
Luke looked at the shelves filled with books, opening them to both sides, and couldn't help but feel the desire to complain.
Entering the base, every door is guarded by heavily armed soldiers.
From time to time, some researchers in white coats walked by holding materials.
Rogers was a little nervous when he saw this kind of battle for the first time.
He looked at Luke walking side by side.
The other person's face was calm and collected.
"As expected of Luke!"
Rogers thought to himself.
In fact, Luke's true emotions are far less calm than he appears.
From Brooklyn, he walked step by step to the secret base of the Strategic Science Corps, where he was about to receive a serum injection.
This is not an easy task.
"I also worked hard for the plug-in."
The three of them went down to the bottom floor and saw two metal instruments in the middle. Dr. Erskine and Howard Stark were talking about something.
Colonel Phillips and the senators in attendance were in the control room on the second floor.
Everyone is full of expectations and wants to witness a miracle!
"let's start."
Dr. Erskine said to the two.
Luke and Rogers looked at each other, took off their boat hats, and took off their coats.
The contrast between the two men's physiques is obvious.
The former can be said to be strong and powerful with clear lines, but the latter is as thin as dry wood.
The researchers around him were shaking their heads and sighing, doubting whether Rogers could survive the serum injection.
"It's okay, you can do it!"
Luke held Rogers' shoulders, as if to inject courage into him.
If there were no Captain America, he would really have to debut as an idol and sell national bonds!
Seeing Rogers nod in agreement, Luke turned his gaze. In front of him was a metal instrument filled with complicated wires and cables on both sides.
The person responsible for running the machine is Howard Stark with a mustache.
The other party is in front of the operating table, busy preparing for the injection of serum.
This talented scientist who made friends with the military's upper echelons under the guise of patriotism was also one of the participants in this plan.
Click!
A bright light!
Staff from the military propaganda department took a photo of Luke and Rogers standing together.
This is a historical moment worth remembering!
"It's about to begin!"
Erskine cleared out the rest, leaving only Howard Stark and other researchers.
"You two will make it!"
The doctor said seriously.
He originally planned to choose only one person to create a super soldier.
But Luke's outstanding performance and sincere attitude made Erskine's original idea shaken.
So he and Colonel Phillips each took a step back.
It was decided that both of them would be injected with serum and become super soldiers.
In the latter's words, "at least one can succeed."
"It starts with a series of minimally invasive injections, injecting serum into the muscle groups. Once this step is completed, it will trigger dramatic changes in the cells... "
Dr. Erskine patiently explained the process, and then the shells of the two metal instruments placed together slowly closed.
Luke was plunged into darkness, unable to see any light from the outside world, and could only hear the voices of Dr. Erskine and Howard Stark talking.
The cold needle pierces the skin, and the serum is steadily pushed into the body and integrated with countless cells.
"It seems like I don't feel anything..."
Luke was a little worried before that the process of injecting the super soldier serum would be extremely painful.
At least in his memory, Rogers shouted so loudly that he almost died.
"Start the instrument!"
Luke heard Dr. Erskine's voice.
The metal instrument connected to the cable introduces a strong sizzling current.
A burst of white light burst out!
"Farke!"
Luke instantly felt a tearing pain, as if the muscle fibers were being pulled into countless strands.
The whole person seemed to be torn apart!
Not only the physical, but the mental stimulation is also unbearable.
However, the intense pain that could drive one crazy only lasted only a short moment.
Then it disappeared as if it had been absorbed!
[100%]
On the retina, clear data appeared.
The progress bar that had been stagnant for a long time was finally loaded.
[Player identity detected]
[Gift packs are being distributed]
[Distribution successful]

Lines of information flowed out.
Then, a hazy white light lit up slightly.
The huge data flow refreshes down like a waterfall, forming a character panel—
Host: Luke (Luke Cavill)

“…”
Luke looked confused.
How dare you work so long and get a three-no panel
"Forget it, let's open a gift bag and talk about it later!"
Luke is familiar with the way and opens the space of consciousness.
Turn on!
The thought moved slightly, and the golden light burst out.
Many characters came to mind.
"Golden Superman..."
"Silver Superman..."
"Mechanical Superman..."
"Quantum Superman..."
"Supermaster..."
"Superboy-Prime..."
“…”
Various forms of Superman templates were displayed in front of Luke's eyes.
[Superman template detected, load it?]
"yes!"
[Does it cover skin?]
"Uh... no!"
[Loading successfully]
Luke opened the character panel again—

Then, rows of specific information representing body data flooded into the brain. (End of chapter)
