Ch: 1-10
Chapter 1 I traveled through time and I am Captain America?
The protagonist's soul transmigrates; he is not the traditional Captain America. He is a playboy, ill-mannered, and an anti-hero. Please do not view the protagonist through a Captain America filter.
Finally, whether you understand or not, just watch!
"Holy crap!"
A holy crap, a lifetime of holy crap.
This exclamation not only represented one person's surprise but also the end of one person's life.
Looking at the pink two-dimensional Itasha truck speeding towards him, Roger couldn't help but wonder if he was living in a dream.
After all, how could there be such a thing as a two-dimensional Itasha truck in reality?
At least that's what he thought before the 120-kph Itasha truck ran over Roger like a speed bump.
Kid, it's time to transmigrate!!!
Facing the crushing force of the strongest heavy truck in the country, Roger didn't even have time to feel pain before his soul departed for the West.
Roger himself only felt his eyes go dark, and when he opened them again, he realized he wasn't in a dream, but in ice.
Outside the ice, there were people vigorously chiseling his ice with ice picks, as if saying, 'Hang in there, buddy, we'll definitely rescue you!'
What a cyber rescue!
However, it was clear that Roger was overthinking it.
These people weren't chiseling the ice to save him.
As soon as he was chiseled out of the ice by these people, his body, frozen stiff like an old popsicle, hadn't even regained sensation before they dragged him towards a strangely shaped chair.
He had only seen this kind of SM-style chair in interrogation rooms or adult-only content.
Clearly, these people meant no good!
But Roger, with no sensation in his body, could do nothing but barely keep his eyes open to see the outside World.
He could only watch helplessly as these burly men, who didn't look like good people from their faces, pressed him onto the SM chair.
After his legs and hands were firmly secured, and a similarly strange-looking metal helmet was placed on his head, a blonde, blue-eyed old man came before him.
He reached out and vigorously shook Roger's head.
With a smile that was three parts smug, three parts mocking, and ninety-four parts evil, he muttered in Roger's ear:
"We gave you a chance, but you were useless. What if you eliminated Red Skull? HYDRA will never be destroyed. Cut off one head, and two more will grow. Endless!"
"Captain Rogers, after nearly seventy years, you still ended up in our HYDRA's hands. Aren't you surprised? Aren't you shocked?"
Listening to the blonde old man, a large question mark slowly appeared above Roger's head.
Motherfucker, where did that damned two-dimensional Itasha truck send me? Is this still the country?
No, the question should be, is this still the original Earth?
HYDRA? Is it that big villain organization from Marvel?
He called me Captain Rogers? And I was unfrozen from ice...
Holy crap!
Am I transmigrated to Marvel, and soul-transmigrated into Captain America Steve Rogers?!
That's not right. Even if I transmigrated into Captain America, shouldn't I have been unfrozen by Nick Fury? How did HYDRA chisel me out?
Wait, how could I forget this? S.H.I.E.L.D. is probably full of HYDRA agents. It's not impossible for me to fall into HYDRA's hands!
It's over!
This is a terrible start!
But Roger was never one to give up so easily. So what if he was caught by HYDRA at the start?!
My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. I decide how to walk my path!
Roger's grand ambitions had just been set when they were brutally shattered by reality.
"Rumlow, activate the brainwashing device. From today onwards, Captain America will cease to exist. From now on, there will only be our Captain Hydra!"
As the blonde old man spoke, a muscular man pressed a button on Roger's chair without hesitation.
Roger only felt the metal helmet on his head suddenly tighten, covering his eyes, and its interior began to glow with an eerie blue light.
No!
It's electrotherapy!!!
Zzzzzzzzz—
Ah ah ah ah ah! I won't tell you anything!
Roger felt a surge of spiritual energy spread from his crown throughout his body, as if all his meridians were about to open!
In layman's terms, Roger was about to pee himself from the electric shock!
Under the intense stimulation of the electric current, Roger's frozen-stiff body gradually began to regain sensation, and his brain became active. At the same time, fragments of the original Captain America's memories merged into his own.
Scrawny dog, joining the army, experiments, Super Soldier Serum, evolving into a muscular devil, clown performance, rescuing his buddy, fighting HYDRA, defeating Red Skull, and finally falling into the Arctic glacier with the Tesseract...
This was the life of Steve Rogers, Captain America.
Roger could clearly feel that as these memories merged, the other soul in this body was gradually dissipating.
Captain Rogers, who had always adhered to his inner sense of justice and lived his life by it, did not reject Roger for being an outsider soul. Instead, he used his own soul to block HYDRA's brainwashing for him.
Perhaps, from the moment this body first awoke, it wasn't just Roger who had transmigrated, but also Captain Rogers, the original owner of this body.
Upon learning from HYDRA that it was now seventy years later, he already knew that he did not belong to this era.
These memories were Captain Rogers's last gift to the new owner of this body, and perhaps CaptainRogers's last connection to this World.
And Captain Rogers himself, perhaps he had already gone to another World to attend that dance, which was seventy years late...
Once the memories were completely fused, Steve Rogers's soul had completely vanished from this World.
From now on, Roger was Captain America himself; he was a true man!
As Captain America's soul completely dissipated, Roger could no longer withstand the high-intensity electrotherapy from the brainwashing machine on his head, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, Roger heard the last sentence from outside.
"Steve Rogers's memory has been successfully erased. The brainwashing was very successful. Now we just need to instill HYDRA's ideology in him, and he will be used by us like the Winter Soldier..."
Winter Soldier? Bucky...
Time flew by, one year later.
2008, United States, New York, Manhattan's wealthy district.
~You are that that that that that, sunny rainbow little white horse, drip drop drip drop~
In a luxurious Villa spanning five hundred square meters, a piercing phone ring woke Steve from his five-meter-wide bed.
(From now on, he will be called Steve, or Rogers, and the name Roger will generally not be used except in internal monologues.)
Casually pushing aside the two pretty faces resting on his double-door chest muscles, Steve, with an irritated expression, picked up the incessantly ringing phone from the bedside table and answered:
"No matter who you are, if you don't give me a satisfactory reason, I swear I'll shove your head up your ass!"
There was a long silence on the other end before Nick Fury's low voice came through:
"Captain Rogers, sometimes I really wonder how you were selected to be a Super Soldier back then, and how you were hailed as Captain America. Or did those decades in the Arctic glacier freeze your brain?"
Hearing it was Nick Fury, Steve sneered, not indulging him in the slightest:
"Things are unpredictable, times are advancing, and people change, don't they? Just like I never expected that decades later, my boss would be a walking cotton machine!"
Chapter 2: Become Stronger by Completing Tasks
Nick Fury, on the other end, was first stunned, then immediately understood the implication of Steve's words, and said in an angry voice:
"Captain Rogers, do you know what you are saying? With just that one sentence, I can make you reviled by thousands and ruin your reputation!"
"Oh, oh, oh, are you getting anxious? I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet. But if you insist on being anxious, I can recommend a book for purifying the mind. Do you want to read it?"
Nick Fury mistakenly thought Steve was scared and was indirectly submitting to him, so his tone softened a bit. He snorted and asked, "What book?"
"It's an environmental book, titled 'Protecting Sea Turtles'~"
After Steve finished speaking, the sound of furious keyboard smashing came from the other end of the phone.
Clearly, Steve's last words accurately broke Nick Fury's composure.
After a while, Nick Fury's gritted voice came through again: "Motherf*cker Captain, you have one hour to report to the Triskelion, or you won't get a single cent of this month's salary!"
I am Captain America, how can I be threatened by you?
Steve said disdainfully, "Oh, you dare to deduct a single penny from me, try it. If my salary is short by even one coin, I guarantee you'll see news of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director oppressing a World War IIveteran and withholding a U.S. World War II hero's salary on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper!"
"Coal Boss, guess who will be unlucky then?"
Coal Boss, Nick Fury, fell silent upon hearing this.
It seemed he really didn't dare to do that. If Steve actually pulled such a stunt, within an hour, the Security Council above S.H.I.E.L.D. would call and chew him out.
Even worse, his position as Director might be taken away due to public pressure.
As for using his authority to restrict the spread of news online, Nick Fury could only say it wouldn't be very effective in America.
If Steve were to directly lead people in a traditional U.S. parade offline, the situation would only be more disadvantageous to him than online!
The influence of the name Captain America was something even Nick Fury dared not casually touch!
The more Nick Fury thought about it, the more he felt helpless against Steve!
Damn it, he was clearly the most politically correct person in America right now, so why was he being suppressed by a White ghost?
Had society really regressed back to the 15th century?
The more Nick Fury thought about it, the angrier he got, but in the end, he still didn't dare to say anything harsh to Steve. He just snorted coldly and hung up the phone.
"Hmph, this mission concerns your World War II friend, Howard Stark's only son. Go or don't go, I don't care!"
Steve looked at the hung-up phone, stroking his chin in thought.
Concerning Howard Stark's son, that meant Tony Stark.
Then the mission Nick Fury mentioned must be about Tony Stark being kidnapped by the Ten Rings Gang.
Tony, that unlucky kid, he himself had become Captain Hydra due to HYDRA's changes.
He didn't expect that Tony would still be kidnapped by the Ten Rings Gang, just like in the original plot.
However, Tony being kidnapped is also good; rescuing him should be worth a lot of Reinforcement Points (enhancement points).
That's right, as a transmigrator, although Roger didn't transmigrate physically, he soul-transmigrated into Captain America's body.
But this doesn't mean he doesn't have the system essential for transmigrators; he has a system.
The system's name is simple and direct: "Get Stronger by Doing Missions System."
As the name suggests, you can gain enhancement points by doing missions.
Enhancement points have only one function: to enhance physique.
And the enhancement doesn't distinguish between strength, speed, defense, spirit, agility, or any other messy categorized enhancements.
It's a direct overall enhancement, strengthening his five-dimensional stats in all aspects!
However, there's a prerequisite for the system to activate: you must first join a faction and then complete missions for that faction.
When Roger first transmigrated, he had no choice; he was brainwashed and imprisoned by HYDRAfrom the start.
Even if Captain America's original soul helped him block the brainwashing and acted as his scapegoat,
if he hadn't chosen to join HYDRA at that time, despite his physique being three times that of a human peak, breaking out would still carry some risks.
After all, there were HYDRA special forces fully armed, and the Winter Soldier, whose presence was unknown.
Even with Captain America's inherited combat skills, he couldn't guarantee he'd make it out alive.
Furthermore, after comprehensive consideration, he found that joining HYDRA actually maximized his system's benefits.
Why?
Let me ask you, what is HYDRA?
It's a World parasite!
From S.H.I.E.L.D. and various national governments above,
to mercenary groups and assassin organizations below,
HYDRA's presence has infiltrated these organizations to varying degrees.
Just as HYDRA says, cut off one head, and two more will grow.
During World War II, Captain America cut off HYDRA's biggest head, Red Skull's head.
But because of this, HYDRA went into hiding, grew more heads, and infiltrated the entire World, with its power increasing rather than decreasing!
So what does Steve joining HYDRA mean?
It means he can take missions from both the dark and light sides, whatever kind of mission he wants!
This avoids him joining either a black or white faction and being unable to complete missions for the other side.
For example, his current identity is a double Agent that HYDRA has planted in S.H.I.E.L.D..
He can not only do HYDRA's covert missions but also S.H.I.E.L.D.'s overt missions, and the mission rewards are fantastic!
You ask why HYDRA trusts Steve so much and confidently lets him go back to S.H.I.E.L.D. as an undercover Agent, even though he still has his own consciousness.
That's because he passed HYDRA's loyalty test.
At the time, HYDRA's test officer asked:
HYDRA: Will you sincerely complete the missions HYDRA gives you?
Steve: Sincerely, truer than true gold! (Completing missions gives system rewards, so absolutely sincere!)
HYDRA: If you were asked to assassinate the President and destroy America, would you do it?
Steve (standing up with a serious face): When do we leave? I'm ready! (He couldn't even imagine how many enhancement points he would get if he completed this mission!)
.....
The tester looked at the all-green pass on the lie detector and immediately said there was no need for further testing.
These two questions alone were enough to prove that HYDRA's brainwashing was very successful, and the old Captain America was a thing of the past.
Therefore, one of HYDRA's leaders, and Nick Fury's direct superior, the Security Council Secretary, Alexander Pierce, confidently arranged for him to be a HYDRA mole in S.H.I.E.L.D..
After a year of double-Agent missions, Steve has completed dozens of missions, big and small, and his physical stats have increased from 3 to 9.
(The peak of normal human physique is 1, and the original Captain America's physique was 3)
Don't let the numerical increase seem small, just from 3 to 9.
But once physique surpasses the human limit of 1 point, every 1-point increase is actually a qualitative leap.
Like a normal person, even at the human peak, their punching power is only around 500kg.
But Captain America, with a physique only three times the human peak, has a strength increase that is far more than three times; his normal strength starts at 3T, and with full break out (burst), it can reach 10+T!
How is the increase between 1 and 3 not more than ten times?
And now Steve, with a physique nine times the human peak, can easily reach 20+T in normal strength, and nearly 100T with full burst.
This value is already catching up to Spider-Man, the second most representative power figure in Marvel.
Chapter 3 Natasha Romanoff
A thought flashed by.
Since Steve had decided to take on this mission, he didn't have a habit of procrastinating. He casually picked up the pants and white shirt from the floor and put them on.
However, as soon as he pulled up his pants and buttoned two buttons on his shirt, two fair, slender hands reached out from behind him, one on each side, and unbuttoned the two buttons he had just fastened.
Two soft bodies pressed against Steve's back, and a charming, bone-deep voice whispered into his ear:
"Captain Rogers, where are you rushing off to so early? Why don't you have a morning workout with us sisters first?"
"Come on~ Come on~"
Turning his head to look at the twin sisters who were clearly hungry for his perfect physique, Steveresolutely pushed them away and said righteously:
"No, I'm in a hurry today, no time for morning exercise. Yesterday, you two tricked me into exercising until night, and now I've just woken up and you want to exercise again? Am I not supposed to work?"
"I'm going to save the World now, I must leave!"
It must be said, Steve's face was truly deceptive.
If anyone else had uttered such a scoundrel's lines, they would have been slapped across the face long ago.
But when Steve said it, it was as if he was glowing with holy light, leaving the two sisters without a shred of doubt. Instead, they looked up at him with adoration.
"Captain Rogers, you are the greatest hero in the World. We sisters will always wait for your return!"
Steve's powerful body trembled slightly, and he turned his head back slightly: "No, I am not a hero. And You, my confidantes, You are the true heroes!"
"But I bear the mission of the title Captain America. I am destined never to find true love in this life. Your being with me would only hold You back, so let us part ways here!"
"Waiting bitterly for me is not worth it!"
After Steve finished speaking, without waiting for the sisters to be moved and try to make him stay, he quickly hastened his steps and escaped from the sisters' Villa.
"Goodbye, my eighteenth and nineteenth girlfriends~"
He took one last look back at the Villa, then Steve left without looking back.
He had been in this World for a year, and besides his daily missions to become stronger, he naturally enjoyed himself.
With Steve Rogers's perfectly handsome face and physique, he was destined not to lack women around him, but he would never choose to hang himself on one tree.
He always went for physical pleasure without emotional attachment. The women around him rarely lasted more than a month. Each time, he would take advantage of a mission to leave with similar scoundrel lines as just now, then pull up his pants and leave.
He was truly a beastly scoundrel!
But Steve didn't see it that way. He just wanted to give all the women in the World a home. He was just altruistic. What was he wrong about?
On another note, while Steve was quite a philanderer in love, he was very serious when it came to missions.
Because he knew that he could enjoy everything he had now because of his constantly growing power.
With power, he had the right to negotiate, and even to dictate everything!
Without power, he would only be someone else's puppet, a puppet of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Nick Fury, or a puppet of HYDRA's Alexander.
Just like Captain America Steve Rogers in the original work, being led by the nose by Nick Fury and used as a pawn!
Or his good friend, Bucky Barnes, controlled by Alexander and used as a killing machine.
With absolute power, he could change all of this!
Just a little more, and perhaps not only would he no longer be restrained, but he could also free Bucky!
Because his physique had reached 10 points, according to the system, there would be a new ability awakening, which he was very much looking forward to!
The enhancement points rewarded by this mission to save Tony would definitely boost his physique by more than just a little!
Whoosh————
As he was thinking, a black sports car performed a beautiful drift and stopped in front of him, less than a centimeter from his toes.
The driver's side window rolled down, revealing a beautiful face no less stunning than the twin cover models from earlier. She gave Steve a wink with her enchanting eyes.
"Handsome, where are you going? Need a ride?"
This wasn't the first time Steve had been approached on the road.
In fact, most of his previous dozen or so girlfriends had actively pursued him; he didn't even need to actively flirt.
Those women, and even men, nine out of ten who approached him were lusting after his body.
But this time was different. Steve wouldn't believe that this red-haired Shadow in front of him simply wanted a "friendly" match of love with him.
Simply because her name was Natasha Romanoff.
Also known as the infamous Black Widow.
However, Steve was not at all afraid that this poisonous spider raised by Nick Fury would bite him. He unceremoniously opened the passenger door and got in.
"Agent Romanoff, it seems Nick Fury is quite concerned about Stark's business, sending even You, his trump card."
Natasha started the sports car, shrugged, and said calmly:
"Trump card? I wouldn't say so. Actually, You are Nick Fury's real trump card. He said there's no mission You can't complete, so this mission isn't for me."
"He just sent me to tell You that the detailed mission information has been given to the special forces. He wants You to take the special forces to Afghanistan to complete the mission. You will have full command of this operation; he just wants to see the results."
After discussing business, Natasha immediately put on an interested expression:
"By the way, did you upset Nick somewhere? I heard a subtle dissatisfaction with You in his tone. It seems he doesn't want to see You at all right now?"
Steve glanced at the gossiping Natasha and casually replied:
"It's nothing much. It's just that some people's social status is too high compared to before, and they can't tell who's the king and who's the queen. I just said some truths to make some people recognize themselves."
Natasha raised an eyebrow, not daring to take on this topic. Even though she herself was one of the second most correct female groups in America, she didn't dare to casually comment on the topic of the first most correct groups.
As Natasha kept silent, Steve was naturally happy to have some peace. He closed his eyes to recover his somewhat empty body after continuous battles.
The ancients truly did not deceive me; there is indeed no field that cannot be tilled, only oxen that die from exhaustion. Even he, who far surpassed ordinary humans, had to admit defeat when facing continuous battles.
Natasha sped along, driving at the wild speed of a five-star good citizen of Los Santos, and quickly arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters, the Triskelion.
Indeed, as Natasha said, Nick Fury didn't want to see him at all.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the special forces, led by Rumlow, had already parked the Quinjet in the Triskelion plaza, waiting for him.
Nick Fury didn't even want him to enter the main gate~
Natasha dropped him off, said goodbye, and left Steve.
That damned coal boss, Nick Fury, wouldn't give a top female Agent much rest. Natasha was probably off to her next mission already.
Poor Natasha, thinking she had escaped her nightmare Red Room, unaware that she had fallen into another dark hand~
Chapter 4: Hydra
Steve sighed inwardly and walked towards the Quinjet.
After a year, Steve had been promoted to Captain of the special forces and was extremely familiar with the team.
He made a gesture and led his men onto the Quinjet without any unnecessary words.
Entering the cabin, Steve tore off his White shirt and took the dark blue stealth combat suit handed to him by Rumlow.
After changing into his combat suit and sitting down, Rumlow handed Steve his vibranium shield and a specially modified rifle with a grenade launcher attached.
"Captain, this mission might involve an entire Terrorists organization. Besides the shield, You might need this as well."
Steve casually slung the shield behind his back, cosplaying as a Ninja Turtle, then took the special rifle and examined it.
"Rumlow, You really know me best. You prepared my favorite M4A1-Black Knight."
"However, using a gun is still too primitive for me. Keep it for yourself; this thing will only slow down my attack speed."
Steve merely toyed with it for a moment before tossing the Black Knight back to Rumlow.
As he completed more and more missions and his strength grew, Steve increasingly disliked using firearms.
Instead, he preferred the satisfying feeling of fist-to-flesh combat, the sensation of dancing with others using his physical strength, which he found somewhat captivating!
Perhaps this was a side effect of his rapidly increasing strength...
However, he liked this side effect!
"How long has Tony Stark been missing? Are there any leads?"
Rumlow took out two documents, one with the S.H.I.E.L.D. eagle logo and the other with the HYDRAlogo.
He directly threw the S.H.I.E.L.D. one on the ground like trash and handed the HYDRA one to Steve, saying:
"Tony Stark has been missing for two months now. Nick Fury's useless S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents haven't found a single lead or piece of information in two months; all they've collected is useless information."
"However, our HYDRA brothers operating in Afghanistan have found some clues. It's said that the Ten Rings Gang made a large-scale move two months ago and then haven't been active since. They must have captured Tony Stark and are now secretly plotting something."
"Yesterday, our people in Afghanistan caught a lone Ten Rings Gang member. We should be able to pry Tony Stark's confinement location out of him."
See, this is what You call professional. This is professional.
S.H.I.E.L.D. claims to be a World-class Agent organization, making FBI and CIA stand aside, but at crucial moments, they're still unreliable!
When it comes to information gathering, You still have to rely on HYDRA!
However, Steve asked with some surprise, "Tony has been missing for two months? How did I not know anything about it?"
He had thought Tony had just gone missing, but it had already been two months. If he remembered correctly, Tony escaped after about three months by building his own suit.
It seems this mission is quite urgent, otherwise, if Tony escapes on his own, his mission would fail, wouldn't it?
Rumlow shrugged:
"Nick Fury's initial choice for this mission wasn't You. It's just that the Agents he sent all failed, and in the end, he had no choice but to give this mission to You, Captain, who has a one hundred percent mission completion rate."
"And You've been busy with those twins for the past two months, and this matter has nothing to do with HYDRA, so we didn't bother You, Captain."
Steve nodded knowingly, not showing much surprise.
Because he was no longer the upright and selfless Steve Rogers, he only chose missions from Nick Furythat he liked, meaning those with high reinforcement points. He directly refused to clean up messes for missions he disliked, completely beyond Nick Fury's control.
This also led to Nick Fury not trusting Steve as much as in the original work. Although he would still assign missions, he rarely entrusted core missions to him.
Unless Nick Fury was truly desperate.
Steve didn't care about this. If he did fewer S.H.I.E.L.D. missions, then he would do more HYDRAmissions.
If You, the Black Egg, don't trust me, HYDRA trusts me very much.
Within HYDRA, he could choose any mission he wanted, and they would prioritize his choices.
It didn't matter if the missions were Black or White, as long as they added points and made him stronger, there was no difference.
This also led to Steve's status not rising quickly within S.H.I.E.L.D., but it rose quite fast within HYDRA.
Within Alexander Pierce's branch of HYDRA, besides Alexander himself, he was already among the highest-ranking individuals, one level higher than Crossbones Rumlow.
He was on the same level as the HYDRA senators embedded in Congress.
He was the type who, as long as he didn't commit fundamental errors, could mobilize most of HYDRA's resources for his own benefit.
For example, the HYDRA special forces embedded in S.H.I.E.L.D. were already his direct subordinates within HYDRA.
"First, go to HYDRA's stronghold in Afghanistan and interrogate the location where Tony is being held. We need to finish this mission quickly."
"Understood!" Rumlow nodded and immediately ordered the pilot to fly towards the HYDRAstronghold.
All members of the special forces were HYDRA members, so there was no need to hide these words.
The Quinjet was fast, and Steve had only dozed off for a short while before arriving at HYDRA's stronghold in Afghanistan.
What he didn't expect was that HYDRA had adapted to local customs, and their stronghold was also a Terrorists organization.
And judging by its scale, it seemed quite significant, probably a force to be reckoned with even in talent-rich Afghanistan.
Indeed, Water and Fire nurture the people of the land~
Steve led his men out of the Quinjet expressionlessly, and under the watchful eyes of members stationed along the way, they quickly arrived at the detention area where the captured Ten Rings Gangmember was held.
The two HYDRA members guarding the door quickly lowered their heads and opened the iron gate for him from both sides.
Steve led the fully armed special forces slowly inside.
The room was very dark; if the iron door wasn't open, there would be no light at all.
Through the sunlight shining in from the doorway, they could see a man covered in injuries and wrapped in a White turban, hanging from the ceiling by chains.
Steve looked at the dying man, his brows furrowed, and turned to the local HYDRA members guarding the door:
"You beat him up this badly, and he still didn't say anything?"
He didn't expect the Ten Rings Gang to be so tough!
The two guards exchanged glances, both somewhat bewildered: "Say... say what?"
Steve:...
Rumlow:...
Special forces:...
Good heavens, You guys were just hitting him without asking questions!
A vein throbbed on Steve's forehead: "If You didn't know what to ask, then why were You hitting him?"
The two guards answered with a matter-of-fact expression: "This is the local custom. No matter who You are, even if You are the President, as long as You are captured by the local forces, You have to take a beating first!"
Chapter 5 Parachute? What parachute?
"You need to listen to what you're saying! What kind of custom is this?!"
Upon hearing this, Steve looked at Rumlow in disbelief, regretting his earlier praise for HYDRA's professionalism.
Professional? This is anything but professional!
What a bunch of incompetent fools, truly thinking they're a local terrorist force!
Rumlow was equally speechless, conveying with his eyes to Steve that there was nothing he could do. To better infiltrate the local area, HYDRA recruited many members locally, so it was normal for them to have strong local customs.
Steve covered his face, waving impatiently: "Get out, all of you. We'll handle the rest."
The two guards at the door seemed to realize their mistake and quickly retreated.
After those two local idiots left, Steve grabbed the white headscarf of the hanging man, lifting his lowered head.
"Speak, where is Tony Stark?"
Unexpectedly, the man, who had been tortured beyond recognition, was already prepared. His cheeks puffed out like a toad's, and the moment he lifted his head, he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm that he had seemingly held for ages, just like Bulbasaur!
But who was Steve? Captain America, a superhuman with a physique of 9, and incredibly fast reactions!
Very quickly, Steve was not careless. He dodged Bulbasaur's Water Gun attack with a lightning-fast sidestep in 0.01 seconds, not a single speck of disgusting phlegm touching him!
In martial arts, speed is paramount!
As long as I dodge fast enough, I won't get hit, hahahaha!
However, while he dodged, Rumlow, the Vice Captain standing behind him, was out of luck and got a full face of thick phlegm!
Rumlow wiped away a thick layer of bloody phlegm from his face, his skin trembling with anger as he reached for his gun to shoot the bastard!
"You son of a bitch, if I don't blow your brains out today, I'm not Crossbones! I'll change my name to your mother's chicken bones!"
Steve quickly held down the agitated Rumlow, who was reaching for his gun, and comforted him:
"Don't be impulsive, Old Rumlow. This is our only lead to Tony Stark, and it didn't cause you any substantial harm. We, as people who do great things, need to be magnanimous and calm down!"
"Screw you! It didn't get spat on your face, so of course you're magnanimous! You try it!"
Rumlow grew even angrier upon hearing this and tried to wipe his phlegm-covered hand on Steve.
Steve quickly let go of Rumlow and kicked him towards the other members of the Special Forces Team.
"Quickly hold your Vice Captain down! No one is allowed to let go without my command!"
Although the special forces members who were bumped into by Rumlow were full of disdain and reluctance, the concept of hierarchy within HYDRA was deeply ingrained in their minds, so they had no choice but to obey Captain's orders and firmly hold down their Vice Captain.
Even if their hands got covered in Rumlow's disgusting liquid, they dared not let go…
Steve, seizing the moment before Rumlow could break free, quickly tried to persuade Bulbasaur—oh no, the Ten Rings Gang man—saying:
"You've seen it. Your powerful spit has completely enraged this strong man whose face clearly says he's not to be trifled with. If you fall into his hands, even a quick Death will likely be a luxury!"
"Here's the deal, I believe you've recognized who I am. I'm Captain America! As long as you tell me Tony Stark's location, I swear on Captain America's honor that I absolutely will not kill you, how about that?"
Steve's combination of a stick and a carrot completely fooled the Ten Rings Gang man, who had originally thought he was doomed to die.
Who would choose to die if they could live?
And Captain America's words should be trustworthy.
The man quickly gave in. Without Steve even needing to resort to torture, Captain America's personal charisma alone made the man reveal Tony Stark's location.
After noting down the coordinates, the amiable expression on Steve's face instantly vanished. He nodded expressionlessly and turned to Rumlow.
"Alright, let go of your Vice Captain. Rumlow, he's all yours."
The man was stunned for a moment, then reacted and cursed angrily:
"You broke your word?! You f*&#....."
After Steve finished speaking, he led his men leisurely out, amidst the Ten Rings Gang man's curses regarding his ancestors for eighteen generations from behind.
And what awaited him was HYDRA's top henchman, Crossbones Rumlow Brock, in a furious rage.
What does Captain America breaking his word have to do with Captain Hydra?
Ten minutes later, when Rumlow returned, he was covered in blood.
No need to guess, it must have been from that unlucky Ten Rings Gang member. Just by looking at the amount of blood splattered on Rumlow, one could tell that guy had definitely gone to meet God.
Oh, no, people here probably only get to meet Mephisto or the Goddess of Death.
Tsk tsk, how tragic~
This incident also teaches us a lesson: for your own life, please don't spit in public~
Knowing the coordinates made things quick. The Quinjet took off and found the mountain cave where the Ten Rings Gang was hiding in less than an hour.
Steve also knew it was time for him, the protagonist, to make his move!
As they approached, Steve directly ordered the rear hatch to be opened, nonchalantly glancing down at the ground, which was at least several hundred meters below.
"Rumlow, you take the special forces to clear out these Ten Rings Gang riff-raff on the perimeter. I'll personally rescue the idiotic hostage in the cave. No one is allowed to enter without my command!"
"Understood!" This wasn't Rumlow's first time cooperating with Steve. He knew Steve always preferred to fight alone, and that he and the others were sufficient for clearing out the minions and handling the mop-up operation.
The reason Steve did this was simple: his system's missions required him to complete them personally.
And each time, only after the mission was completed would the system notify him if the mission was successful and how many enhancement points he received.
This made him hesitant to test whether having his subordinates complete a task would count as him completing it, especially for missions involving important figures like Tony Stark.
Once the cabin was fully open, Steve jumped out without a parachute.
"Ooh-hoo!!!"
Only Steve's excited howl echoed in the air.
Rumlow's new deputy, standing beside him, looked confused: "Did… did Captain Rogers bring a parachute?"
Rumlow glanced at him and smiled: "No, he doesn't need such things."
The original Captain America dared to jump from hundreds of meters in the sky into the sea or onto the ground. Now, with his physical fitness multiplied several times, Steve feared it even less!
A few hundred meters was like walking on flat ground!
With a loud bang from the sky, Steve blocked with his shield, making a dazzling entrance like a cannonball!
THUD!!!
Steve landed, using his shield to smash a Ten Rings Gang Terrorists who had looked up upon hearing the commotion, from head to toe into a puddle of mud!
Then Steve rolled to dissipate force, rushing forward for more than ten meters, and threw a flying shield. The shield, with an extremely unscientific arc, continuously chopped off the heads of several Terrorists guarding the cave entrance!
Finally, the shield hit the mountain wall, spun around, and incredibly returned to Steve's hand!
It was absolutely outrageous!
Chapter 6 Tony, your uncle Rogers is here to save you!
If you ask about the principle, Steve himself isn't clear; he just knows how to play the shield so flashily after inheriting the original Captain America's memories!
"Awesome!"
Steve caught the flying shield, casually shook off the bloodstains, and a bright, White smile appeared on his face.
Melee combat is my talent, and shield throwing is my hobby!
After dealing with the guards at the cave entrance, Steve didn't stop. Amidst the barking of the surrounding Ten Rings Gang members, he rushed into the cave with ghostly speed, dodging a barrage of bullets.
Heh, as long as I'm fast enough, bullets can't catch me!
"Lariat!"
The moment he rushed into the cave, Steve spread his strong, powerful arms and violently crushed the throats of two unlucky guys ambushed on both sides of the cave entrance, ready to launch a sneak attack!
You want to sneak attack under my eagle-like eyes? What a joke!
With two breathless unlucky guys in his arms, Steve didn't stop. He suddenly launched a powerful left front kick towards a corner ahead!
"Antelope Kick!"
Boom—
The first Ten Rings Gang member who heard the commotion from inside the cave and rushed to the corner ahead was kicked in the chest and sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing against the wall and turning into a pile of mush!
The power of the 9+ Super Serum is terrifying!
Soon, dense footsteps came from deep within the cave. The Ten Rings Gang squad on guard inside the cave arrived and, seeing this scene, immediately raised their guns and fired at Steve!
Bang bang bang——————
Steve was not flustered at all. Beyond seven steps, the gun is fast; within seven steps, I am fast!
Spinning and jumping, with my eyes closed~
Steve dodged bullet after bullet with high-difficulty gymnastic movements, rapidly approaching the sweeping Ten Rings Gang squad.
A Ten Rings Gang squad of over a dozen people, firing simultaneously in this narrow cave, didn't even hit Steve once. Was this all due to his elegant footwork?
No, it was actually because Steve used the two unlucky guys hanging from his left and right hands as human shields.
What is a vibranium shield? How can it be as useful as a human shield?
And these two unlucky guys were multi-functional; they could not only be used as human shields but also as weapons!
"The tiger is entering the flock of sheep~"
Steve grinned cruelly, gripping the ankles of these two guys, left hand, right hand, a slow motion, using fewer to bully more, he grabbed the two and smashed them towards the terrified Ten Rings Gangsquad!
This was his passionate combo move with the Golden Horn and Silver Horn in his hands!
That scene, it can only be described as too brutal!
Under Steve's terrifying strength, which started at twenty tons, the dismembered limbs of Ten Rings Gang members splattered everywhere!
Not a single person he smashed died intact. By the time the Carnage ended, even the two guys Steveused as weapons were left with only the two legs he held.
In just over ten seconds, a Ten Rings Gang squad of over a dozen people was easily counter-killed and wiped out by Steve!
At the same time, Tony, who was secretly forging the parts for his first-generation armor deep inside the cave, twitched his ears and frowned.
"Hmm? Why do I seem to hear fighting outside?"
The sounds of fighting outside startled Tony from his armor parts manufacturing. He looked at the iron door with surprise and uncertainty.
Just as he was about to press his ear to the door to listen closely, a violent burst of gunshots and screams came from outside the iron door.
And the gunshots stopped abruptly in less than ten seconds, as did the screams that accompanied them!
Tony and Ethan, who was assisting him, exchanged glances, and both their faces turned White simultaneously.
Tony, who had been trapped for over two months, wouldn't naively think that rescuers had arrived.
If the U.S. military could have found him, they would have come long ago, why wait until now!
Now, the most likely scenario was a firefight between Terrorists!
Afghanistan lacks many things, but not Terrorist forces.
It's normal for them to fight each other over territory!
Even if, by some miracle, rescuers had arrived, Tony didn't believe he would be absolutely safe.
Given the brutality of these Terrorists who called themselves the Ten Rings Gang, if rescue truly came, they would likely choose to kill him first!
"Damn it! My armor was almost complete, why did something happen at this exact moment!"
Tony cursed, cold sweat pouring down his face as he looked at the 90% completed armor parts.
At this point, there was clearly no time to finish the last 10% of the armor, and even if the armor parts were complete, there wasn't enough time to assemble the armor and start the power system!
Tony was helpless in the face of this sudden turn of events. He could only quickly go forward and use a wrench to jam the iron door, trying to buy as much time as possible.
At the same time, he prayed that it was truly his rescuers who had arrived outside, and that they would reach him before the Terrorists, otherwise he and Ethan would be truly finished!
But during the few times he had been taken out before, Tony had secretly observed the cave's structure and the Ten Rings Gang guards inside.
The cave was winding and twisting, at least several hundred meters long to reach him, and there were dozens of guards stationed within the cave.
Could anyone really arrive before the Ten Rings Gang guards decided to kill him?
Tony believed no one could be that fast, not even the most elite forces in the World!
Boom——————
Tony and Ethan didn't have to worry for long. Under their anxious gaze, the iron door holding them captive suddenly made a loud noise, and a noticeable human-shaped indentation was pushed out of the iron door by a powerful external force!
"What the Fire! What's going on?!"
Tony was startled, so fast? Have the killers arrived? Or has another force arrived?
And is that human-shaped imprint on the iron door for real? Is it really a human coming?
Boom——————————
Before the two could guess whether it was the Ten Rings Gang or someone else who arrived first, there was another loud bang, and the iron door, along with a Terrorist's corpse, flew into the cave!
"Little Tony, your Uncle Rogers is here to save You!!!"
Steve kicked the last Terrorist in the cave onto the iron door so hard he couldn't be peeled off, then delivered another flying kick, sending both the man and the iron door flying into the cave. He rushed in, excited like a big monkey.
Enhancement points, I'm coming for You!
However, Comrade Steve had just rushed in when he was instantly repelled by the stench inside.
"Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Ugh, Tony, You damned bastard, did You poop in there? Why does the cave smell as disgusting as dog poop fermented in '82!"
Tony stared blankly at Steve, who was standing disdainfully at the cave entrance, refusing to enter.
"You... You are....."
Steve thought Tony recognized him, so he immediately puffed out his chest, raised his iconic five-pointed star shield, and instantly adopted the stance of Captain America.
Clearing his throat, he said, "Hmph, that's right, I am the embodiment of justice, the hope of America, the World's first Super Hero, I am...."
"You're the bastard who stole my December twin cover girls last year!"
Steve's words were cut short by Tony's angry retort.
Steve: ¿ ¿ ¿
Steve's brain almost crashed. He didn't expect Tony's first sentence to be this.
But he thought about it carefully, December cover girls?
Weren't they the very smooth twin sisters he had dumped that morning?
They seemed to have boasted to him that they were cover girls for a famous magazine, and the time they hooked up with him was precisely last December.
It seems he accidentally snatched Tony's prey~
Chapter 7 I'm the one being picked up!
"No! What do you mean 'stole'? This is called skill!"
Steve gave Tony a smug smile: "Kid, you got one thing wrong. Those twin sisters didn't fall for me; they fell for me!"
"I was the one being pursued!"
Tony:???
Do you even hear what you're saying???
Steve looked at the bewildered Tony, held his breath, walked up to him, and patted his shoulder earnestly:
"Young man, if you're not good enough, practice more. Your small frame can't handle those twin sisters. Let Uncle do it; only Uncle can handle them!"
"You can only satisfy them financially, but they spend money to satisfy them through me. So, do you understand the difference between us?"
Tony was completely petrified, feeling like he had lost so thoroughly for the first time.
I finally felt something, and you made me lose so completely. Damn it!
As Tony's half-uncle, Steve saw his great-nephew so dejected and couldn't help but offer comfort:
"Don't be disheartened, great-nephew. Those twin sisters and I have already had an amicable breakup. If you don't mind taking over, you can try again to win their hearts with your money power~"
"But I estimate it's probably impossible. After all, once you've ridden an elephant, it's hard to want to ride a pony again~"
"Thank you so much for your comfort, but I don't have a habit of taking over!" Tony slapped Steve's hand away and gave him the middle finger as a sign of gratitude.
"You're welcome. I've always been good at comforting people~" Steve graciously accepted Tony's thanks, looking like a warm man who hadn't seen Tony's middle finger.
An awkward silence filled the air······
Tony stared at Steve for a long time before slowly speaking:
"You know what? I once heard many legendary stories about you from my father."
"But now that I've actually met you in person, I realize you're not what I imagined at all, and you're far from the perfect embodiment of God my father described..."
Tony's heart was very complicated as he looked at Steve standing alive in front of him.
He never expected that when he fell into despair, the only one who would come to save him would be the guy his father, Howard Stark, often talked about during his lifetime.
That guy who even made him a little envious and jealous, that guy Howard praised countless times, even less than one percent of the praise he gave his own son!
Hearing Tony's familiar dialogue, Steve couldn't help but tease: "Oh? What? Are you also going to say that my blue eyes actually have a bit of green mixed in?"
What Tony said reminded Steve of a line from Baron Zemo in Captain America: Civil War that left a deep impression on him in his previous life.
"I've been investigating you, studying you, and now that you're this close to me, I realize that your blue eyes also have a bit of green mixed in, and you also have flaws...."
The meaning Tony expressed was similar, both saying that Captain America was not perfect after all, and there was a gap between him and the rumors.
"What eyes? I'm talking about you as a person. You're not as rigid as I imagined; in fact, your thinking is a bit too advanced....."
Tony was a bit confused by Steve's thought process. Was he talking about eyes?
Steve smiled at the remark and patted Tony's shoulder again:
"Who I am is never decided by others. Who you think I am shouldn't be described by others either. Just trust what you see, right?"
Tony pondered for a moment, his lips curving downwards, and extended his hand to Steve:
"I think you're right. For my savior, I shouldn't learn what kind of person they are from others."
"Let's formally introduce ourselves. I'm Tony Stark, the current helmsman of Stark Industries."
Steve smiled and shook hands with Tony: "Steve Rogers, Captain of the Special Forces of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
The two released their hands, and Tony raised an eyebrow: "What kind of broken agency is this? The name is too long, and it sounds like it has no future. Do you want to be the security Captain at my company? I'll give you a starting salary of one million U.S. dollars a month!"
Tony said this partly because he truly valued Steve's abilities, and partly because he wanted to repay Steve for saving him.
One million U.S. dollars a month, even if Steve spent all his time slacking off at Stark Industries, Tonycould easily support him for life.
"Forget it, I'm quite good as I am now. This department is at least within the United Nations system, which sounds much stronger than being a security Captain at your place~"
Steve was not tempted by Tony's attempt to poach him with a huge sum.
One million U.S. dollars a month was indeed a lot, but money was just a number; enough was enough, and Steve wasn't lacking it now.
HYDRA, among other things, had pretty good benefits.
After a year of missions, the funds in his account had accumulated to over ten million U.S. dollars.
Of course, this wasn't entirely the remuneration from completing HYDRA missions; a portion was also from S.H.I.E.L.D. missions.
However, HYDRA accounted for ninety percent, and S.H.I.E.L.D. only accounted for ten percent.....
There was no other way; Nick Fury was just that stingy. All of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funds were secretly taken by him to build his broken safe houses all over the World.
Tony nodded upon hearing that Steve's department was within the United Nations system and didn't persuade him further. Instead, he introduced Ethan, who had been standing beside them without a chance to speak:
"This is Dr. Ethan. He was also captured by the Ten Rings Gang. The only reason I survived this terrorist attack by the Ten Rings Gang, besides luck, was entirely thanks to Dr. Ethan!"
"If he hadn't performed surgery on me to remove the shrapnel with an electromagnet and negotiated with the Ten Rings Gang for me, I would have died eight hundred times over."
Steve extended his hand and shook Ethan's, smiling:
"Dr. Ethan, I've heard so much about you. I've long heard about your great feat of single-handedly fighting through Resident Evil with a bottle of hand sanitizer. Meeting you today, it's clear the rumors are true!"
Ethan:???
What hand sanitizer? What Resident Evil?
I'm a physicist; I don't understand biochemistry.....
Tony was also speechless. The difference between Captain America and his father's description was more than just a little; their personalities were completely different.
He even wondered if his father, Howard Stark, was Captain America's fanboy, which was why he had automatically beautified this guy's image in front of him....
However....compared to the perfectly inhuman Captain America his father described, he actually preferred this unreliable Steve Rogers.
At least this guy seemed like a real person.
Chapter 8 The first awakening, biological force field!
Steve didn't care about their speechless reactions to him. He covered his nose, waved his hand in disgust, and said,
"Alright, let's get out of here first. This isn't the place to reminisce. To be honest, it's too damn stinky here. I'm almost suffocating..."
Tony and Ethan had been eating, drinking, and relieving themselves all in this small cave for two months. The accumulated smell was unimaginably potent.
Fortunately, Steve hadn't eaten breakfast when he arrived today, otherwise, he would have thrown up on the spot.
So, in a way, he wasn't wrong when he called this a biochemical crisis.
Tony nodded upon hearing this. He had long been tired of staying in this broken cave and wished to leave immediately.
Ethan said: Me too!
The three, having reached an agreement, quickly walked out of the cave.
Along the way, Tony continuously marveled at the severed limbs and broken bodies.
This Captain America's personality isn't just different from the rumors; even his methods are exceptionally brutal!
Good heavens, these wounds don't look like they were caused by thermal weapons; instead, they seem to be from brute force and sharp objects!
Tony glanced at the blood-stained shield on Steve's back. It was very obvious who had done it!
Unexpectedly, the shield his father once made, in Steve's hands, wasn't used for defense but for dismemberment. It truly lives up to its name as the only vibranium shield in the World!
Regarding this, Tony only wanted to say, 'Well done!'
Having been tortured by the Ten Rings Gang for two full months, he wished he could tear these damned bastards to shreds with his own hands. How could he find Steve's methods cruel? He only felt relieved!
Did they really think he, the number one arms dealer in America, had no temper?
Just wait, Ten Rings Gang! If I don't uproot you all when I get back, I won't be called Stark anymore; I'll change my surname to Shidake!
That's right. Because Steve rescued Tony earlier, the plot where Ethan sacrificed himself, causing Tony's mindset to undergo a complete transformation, was absent.
Although Tony's mindset had still changed partially and he successfully created the Iron Man armor, he did not plan to close Stark Industries' weapons department upon his return.
Instead, he planned to use the Iron Man armor technology created in this cave, along with his other invented armaments, to launch a bloody 'an eye for an eye' retaliation against the Ten Rings Gang!
After all, Tony is fundamentally an arms dealer. You wouldn't really expect him to repay evil with good towards his enemies, like those idiotic Super Heroes in the movies, would you?
However, Steve didn't know or care about any of this. He was simply waiting for the system's mission completion prompt in his mind.
Finally, the moment he led Tony out of the cave, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.
[S.H.I.E.L.D. Mission: Rescue Tony Stark (Completed)]
[Reward Issued: Enhancement Points * 500]
Holy crap!!!
How much did You say???
A whopping 500!!!
You should know that he had completed dozens of missions, big and small, throughout the entire last year, but the maximum enhancement point reward for any single mission never exceeded one hundred!
And physical enhancement costs 100 enhancement points per instance!
This means that this one mission alone allows him to enhance himself a full five times!
My goodness, all of his missions from last year combined were only enough for six enhancements!
In other words, this one mission is roughly equivalent to a year's worth of his efforts!
Should I say it's worthy of being one of Marvel's chosen ones? The rewards are truly exaggerated!
This also made Steve determined that in the future, he must do more missions related to the Marvelprotagonists!
'System, add some points to my physique, all of them!'
Currently, the system only has a physique enhancement function, and Steve didn't plan to save these enhancement points, so he put them all into physique.
This instantly brought his physique to a terrifying 14 points, and his strength directly doubled!
But these aren't the main points. The biggest surprise this time isn't in the explosive increase in strength, but in the new ability awakened for the first time after his physique reached 10 points!
Steve closed his eyes, feeling the invisible but undeniably real substance on the surface of his hands, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a wide smile.
Oh, the new ability is 'Biological Force Field'.
That's right, it's the Biological Force Field You're thinking of, a conceptual ability of Clark Kent, Superman, one of the absolute protagonists of another DC Universe!
The uses of the Biological Force Field are incredibly extensive: self-defense, extending protection to external objects, flight, even using it as telekinesis, and so on...
It can be said that its upper limit is extremely high, and like Superman himself, it is a subjective ability. Theoretically, countless other abilities can continuously derive from the Biological Force Field.
Of course, Steve, having just awakened the Biological Force Field, cannot do all of this. That is something that only the great Superman, who has trained his Biological Force Field for decades, or even a powerhouse like Silver Age Superman, can achieve.
He can currently only use the Biological Force Field for the most basic self-protection and protection of external objects.
For example, although he previously possessed speed and strength far surpassing ordinary humans, if he were under enemy firepower, he actually couldn't guarantee that he could save the person he was protecting.
Because whether it was an accidental stray bullet or his own terrifying strength of tens of tons, it could instantly kill the person he was protecting.
Even his vibranium shield wouldn't help.
Reality isn't a movie; his vibranium shield can't block all attacks, as it's actually only that big.
The size of the vibranium shield makes it difficult to protect himself, let alone protect others.
But now with the Biological Force Field, it's different. Not only can he use the Biological Force Field to protect himself from all angles.
He can also extend his Biological Force Field by touching objects or people, protecting others within his Biological Force Field.
This is also why Superman can catch a high-speed falling airplane without damage, instead of smashing through the middle of the plane as Homelander claimed.
Or why Superman can simply stand in front of the person he's protecting, yet a large-scale explosion cannot harm the person Superman is protecting.
These are all thanks to the Biological Force Field.
Of course, protecting others or objects is secondary to Steve.
Using the Biological Force Field to protect himself is his primary use.
With his physique at 14 points, small to medium-caliber thermal weapons pose virtually no threat to him.
However, large-caliber thermal weapons still pose some threat, and anything above missiles is a fatal threat to him.
But now with the Biological Force Field, without talking about resisting nuclear bombs, at least ordinary missiles cannot harm him in the slightest!
An extreme strength of two hundred tons + nearly invincible defense = I don't eat beef!
If he can further develop the flight ability of the Biological Force Field, then he will essentially be invincible in urban warfare!
Even nuclear bombs will find it difficult to threaten him anymore!
Because he can safely fly out of the explosion range before a nuclear bomb detonates.
Of course, provided he flies fast enough~
Steve can only say he is extremely satisfied with the first awakening of his Biological Force Field ability!
And this makes him even more excited for the next ability awakening!
However, the next awakening requires 50 points of physique, so there's still a long way to go....
Chapter 9 Agent 13, Sharon Carter
While Steve was adding points and sensing his Biological Force Field, the Special Forces Team clearing the battlefield outside had already assembled.
Rumlow, who had returned to his cold-blooded state, stepped forward to report the mission to Captain:
"Captain, all Ten Rings Gang members on site have been killed, and C4 has been installed in the cave and on the Ten Rings Gang's weapons."
"Well done. Prepare to withdraw. Detonate the bombs after takeoff."
Steve surveyed the battlefield strewn with corpses and nodded in satisfaction.
Although he was not very satisfied with HYDRA's branch in Afghanistan, the Special Forces Team, led by Rumlow, who were considered ace Agents in both S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA, were still very effective.
For the Ten Rings Gang, the special forces' raid was a dimensionality reduction strike!
They were completely outmatched in terms of combat quality and weapon equipment!
These small fry from the Ten Rings Gang didn't even manage to reduce the more than ten-person Special Forces Team by a single member.
Tony also observed the Special Forces Team in front of him, who didn't look like good people, and teased Steve beside him:
"Honestly, if I didn't know your identity, looking at your subordinates with their murderous expressions, I might think you were the leader of some villainous organization~"
Steve:...
I have to say, You're really good at judging people!
However, Steve wouldn't say that out loud. Instead, he said as a matter of course:
"My team is a legitimate Special Forces Team certified by the United Nations, an elite force in the entire World, so it's normal for them to have a strong killing intent."
Steve answered casually, and Tony nodded casually.
Tony had just asked casually and didn't think much about Steve's answer.
After all, how could Captain America be a bad guy, and how could a bad guy come to rescue him?
As everyone boarded the Quinjet and took off, Rumlow pressed the remote control in his hand.
Boom—————————
Instantly, the Ten Rings Gang's Base below, along with the Stark Industries weapons within it, and Tony's Mark prototype in the cave, were all engulfed by the violent explosion and flames.
Tony didn't say anything about this. He didn't want anyone to get his Iron Man armor, even if these were just rough parts he had handcrafted, so blowing them all up was the best option.
Steve also didn't say anything. He wasn't interested in the Iron Man armor, and even less did he want HYDRA to get their hands on it.
HYDRA just needed to maintain its current covert state. If it really got the Iron Man armor, who knew if HYDRA would suddenly go crazy and start World War III.
He just wanted to use HYDRA to continuously complete missions and become stronger, not genuinely help HYDRA conquer the World.
· · · · ·
Time on the Quinjet flew by.
Steve didn't take Tony back to S.H.I.E.L.D., but directly sent him back to Stark Tower in New York.
After having a few cheeseburgers with Tony, Steve didn't linger and said his goodbyes.
Returning after two months of disappearance, Tony had a lot of messy things to deal with, and he didn't want to get involved.
However, he didn't return to S.H.I.E.L.D. either, only letting Rumlow take the Special Forces Team back to S.H.I.E.L.D. to submit the mission.
Not only did Nick Fury not want to see him, but he also didn't want to see that bald, one-eyed old black man whose eyes were full of calculations towards him.
If he couldn't beat Captain Marvel right now, he would have long since put Nick Fury, that pretentious jerk, in a sack, beaten him severely, and sunk him in the sea.
This guy was more of a detriment than a benefit to him and to the entire World.
"Captain Rogers, we've arrived."
Happy's voice roused the distracted Steve, who looked out the car window and realized they had arrived in the familiar Brooklyn district.
"Thank You for driving me back, Happy, You can go back now."
Steve thanked Happy in the driver's seat, pulled open the car door, and got out of the Rolls-Royce whose model he couldn't name.
After Rumlow took his men back to the Special Forces Team, and after eating the cheeseburgers, Stevehad originally intended to go back by himself.
However, although Tony himself didn't have time, he still arranged for his personal bodyguard, Happy, to drive him back.
Happy poked his head out of the driver's seat and sincerely thanked Steve:
"It's my honor to drive You back, Captain, and thank You very much for saving Tony. You know he's not just my boss, but also my best friend!"
"He's also my comrade's son. It's only right that I save him. You don't need to thank me."
Steve smiled indifferently, waved his hand, and turned to walk towards his apartment.
The apartment he lived in wasn't large, two bedrooms and one living room, with a retro style. It was the residence S.H.I.E.L.D. had arranged for him.
He didn't actually live in this home very often; most of this year he spent at his previous nineteen girlfriends' places.
For example, for the past two months, he had been staying at the twin sisters' Villa and hadn't returned once.
But even so, the house was still spotless.
Steve pursed his lips. It seemed his "friendly neighbor" next door had thoughtfully cleaned it for him again.
Just as he was thinking, there was a movement from the unclosed front door, and a White girl with beautiful golden hair and a sweet appearance, common in Europe and America, poked her head in.
"Captain Rogers, is that You back?"
"Sharon? Please come in quickly. I just finished a mission and realized it's been a long time since I came back, so I plan to stay for a while. Thank You for helping me take care of the room while I was away."
Steve invited Sharon in and took two bottles of cola from the refrigerator.
The two sat opposite each other, Sharon looking at Steve with an uncontrollable smile:
"You are a hero of this country, and I'm Happy to do something for You!"
Steve smiled and didn't reply, simply opening the cola can for Sharon and placing it in front of her.
Sharon Carter, an elite trained by Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 13, and also Captain America's old lover, Peggy Carter's niece.
Of course, she doesn't go by that name now, but uses the alias Sharon Stone, ordered by Nick Fury to disguise herself as his neighbor, secretly protecting and monitoring Steve.
Nick Fury and Sharon Carter thought they were well hidden, but unbeknownst to them, Steve, who had an information advantage, already knew Sharon Carter's true identity.
It's just that Steve couldn't feel any hostility towards this young woman who admired him.
Neither Sharon's strength nor her identity gave him a reason to make a move against her.
What's more, Sharon Carter didn't have any hostility towards him and couldn't monitor him anyway.
With his strength, he could easily shake off this young woman.
He also never met with HYDRA here, so Sharon Carter's surveillance was completely irrelevant to him; instead, he gained an attractive little nanny.
The two sat down and took a sip of iced cola. Sharon's eyes hadn't left Steve since she entered the door. She glanced towards the refrigerator, her bright, watery eyes full of expectation as she said:
"Captain, You haven't been back for two months, and there's no food stored at home. I just bought some fresh ingredients today. Would You like to try my cooking?"
Chapter 10 Natasha is missing, new mission
Steve looked at Sharon's watery eyes, a brow raised and a meaningful smile slowly forming at the corner of his lips.
"With such a beautiful lady inviting me, naturally, I have no reason to refuse. Coincidentally, I have a bottle of aged red wine here. We can enjoy fine wine with delicious food~"
Steve stood up and casually picked up a bottle of '82 Lafite from the wine rack next to him, which he had taken from Alexander Pierce when completing a HYDRA mission.
Then, he bowed slightly to Sharon, extending his hand like a gentleman.
Sharon looked at Steve's outstretched hand, her eyes first showing a fleeting struggle, then immediately filling with joy. She unhesitatingly took Steve's warm, large hand.
Never mind, Aunt Peggy and Captain didn't end up together anyway, and there's no way they could now. This isn't me poaching my aunt's corner!
Hand in hand, the two walked towards Sharon's house next door.
They only ate a few simple bites of food and symbolically took a sip of wine.
Their main course today was clearly not about appetite, but about another indescribable human desire.
(One thousand words omitted here for the reader's imagination.....)
When Steve woke up again, it was already the next morning.
The beauty who had accompanied him last night was no longer beside him. The room door was open, and an enticing aroma of roasted meat was wafting from the dining room.
It must be said that an Agent's physical fitness is indeed stronger than an ordinary person's. Which of Steve's nineteen previous girlfriends last year wasn't so tired after a passionate night that they slept for a whole day?
Which one could get up early like Sharon to make him breakfast?
After a couple of internal exclamations, Steve put on the clean clothes and pants Sharon had neatly placed on the nightstand and walked out of the room.
Sharon happened to be walking out of the kitchen, carrying two generously portioned bacon sandwiches. She placed one plate, which contained three times the amount of the other sandwich, in front of Steve and said softly:
"You didn't eat much last night, and you were active all night. I think Captain, you must be hungry now~"
Steve rubbed his stomach; he was indeed a little hungry.
It must also be said that what's difficult to overcome isn't just a beautiful woman, but a beautiful woman who is thoughtful and understands You.
And Sharon Carter, who grew up listening to Captain America's stories and was his little fan girl, undoubtedly understood him the most.
Steve pulled Sharon into an embrace, making her sit directly on his lap. He inhaled the fresh scent of her hair slightly and took a large bite of the sandwich.
"Hmm, it tastes really good. It's such simple ingredients, but under your cooking, it's become incredibly delicious. Perhaps this is the blessing of love~"
Sharon's face turned crimson from Steve's praise, her heart fluttered, and her eyes, fixed on Steve, were almost dripping with Water.
Over a decade of Agent training vanished in an instant; her entire mind was filled with Steve.
He's so charming, I love him so much!
"Captain Rogers....."
"Call me Steve from now on~"
"Steve..."
The atmosphere gradually became sticky, and the two drew closer and closer....closer and closer.....
~You are the one, the one, the one, the one, the sunny rainbow White horse, drip-drop drip-drop~
A harsh phone ring unseasonably interrupted the two who were about to begin their second round.
Sharon Carter quickly got off Steve and returned to her seat, burying her head like an ostrich.
Steve, on the other hand, frowned, and when he saw Nick Fury's incoming call on his phone, a vein throbbed on his forehead!
"Motherfucker! Will this damn Little White Horse ever end?!"
Steve initially wanted to hang up, but then he remembered that Nick Fury had given him a mission worth 500 enhancement points yesterday, and he was afraid it might be a similar welfare mission, so he thought about it and answered.
"Little White Horse, speak up, you have ten seconds to give me a reason why I shouldn't come to your office right now and punch out your other eye!"
Nick Fury didn't retort this time. He no longer dared to gamble whether this Captain America, whose brain had been frozen, was joking or serious with him.
What if this redneck had a moment of madness and really came to punch out his only good eye? Where would he go to reason!
Thinking of this, Nick Fury shivered and immediately explained:
"Believe me, I don't want to disturb you right after you've finished a mission, but there's a very urgent unexpected situation happening right now!"
"Just yesterday, I sent Agent Romanoff on a mission to Iran to escort a nuclear engineer back."
"But just an hour ago, during the escort back, they were ambushed. Now Natasha and the nuclear engineer are missing and their lives are unknown. I need you to go rescue them immediately!"
To be honest, if not absolutely necessary, Nick Fury really didn't want to contact this foul-mouthed Captain, but Black Widow, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most capable Agents, had gone missing during this mission.
If he sent other ordinary Agents to rescue them, he would probably only be sending them to their deaths.
So Nick Fury thought long and hard and decided to call Steve, this Super Human.
Steve frowned. Natasha ambushed?
Damn it, he just saw her yesterday, and now she's missing today?
Moreover, what kind of ambush could even Natasha, that poisonous spider, not handle?
It should be known that this was still early Marvel, an era where Super Heroes and villains weren't ubiquitous, and top Agents like Black Widow were already considered strong characters in the T1 tier.
If it were before, Steve would have considered whether to take this mission based on his mood.
But after tasting the benefits of yesterday's mission to save Tony, Steve wouldn't hesitate.
This incident, concerning another Marvel protagonist, must be like Tony's mission; the enhancement points would definitely not be low!
"Alright, I'll take this mission. Send me Natasha's last known coordinates, and I'll go check."
"Already sent to your email."
After saying that, Steve didn't chat any further with Nick Fury and directly hung up the phone.
Steve and Sharon were only one seat apart, and Sharon heard his conversation with Nick Fury clearly.
She looked at Steve, her face conflicted, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Steve naturally noticed Sharon's abnormality and said casually:
"What do you want to ask, or what do you want to say? It's okay, speak boldly. With our current relationship, there's nothing we can't say, like let's talk about your Agent identity or something....."
Sharon's pupils suddenly constricted at his words, and she abruptly stood up in disbelief, accidentally knocking the plate in front of her off the table.
However, before it could hit the ground, Steve, without even moving his head, casually extended a hand and precisely caught the falling plate, easily catching the falling sandwich with it.
Steve called this move, the Steve Shiver.
