Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 14 Don't Be Afraid

Just when the Strategic Science Corps embarked on a journey to London and Rogers was pulled by the senator to be a sales ambassador for national bonds, Luke remained in Brooklyn, New York.

As Carter said, he has other tasks.

After that conversation in the infirmary, Colonel Phillips told Luke an amazing plan with a very high level of secrecy!

Even with super soldiers leading the team, the degree of difficulty is very high!

Colonel Phillips handed over the Howling Commando to Luke, not simply because of his ability.

As the world's only super soldier, no one is better suited to carry out that plan than Luke!

In other words, the Colonel needs him!

That's why the idea of ​​cultivation came out!

Luke himself was not surprised by this.

This is one of the reasons why he did not hide his excellent performance in the Lehigh training camp.

Interpersonal communication in society is essentially the exchange of interests between each other.

In a sense, being able to be used by others is also a manifestation of value.

There is a saying in the Internet joke from the previous life, "Since I became a waste, no one can use me anymore", which makes me laugh, but it actually makes sense after thinking about it.

With the failure of the super soldier program, the status of the Strategic Science Corps has clearly slipped.

Funding has been cut, personnel have been mobilized, from the rear to the front...

This series of actions shows that Colonel Phillips will not think of any way to make the Strategic Science Corps show the necessity of its own existence.

Then, it is likely to face the end of being abolished.

This is not alarmist.

The allocation of all resources during wartime must put value and efficiency first.

"So in order to restore the status of the Strategic Science Corps, will the colonel let me lead the Roaring Commando? I thought my charisma was strong enough to be able to attack any plot role by myself."

Luke lay on the big hotel bed, looking at the stiff military uniforms hanging on the hangers.

"Captain Carville."

He muttered something, with a smile on his face.

This was one of the benefits given by Colonel Phillips, and also for the convenience of leading the Howling Commandos.

Otherwise, who would be willing to accept a recruit and become his immediate boss.

It took Luke less than a month to go from being a third-class soldier who had just enlisted in the army to being promoted to lieutenant officer.

It can be said that the speed is amazing!

"If I really fulfill the mission assigned by Colonel Phillips, let alone a captain, I am afraid that it is not impossible to become the fastest-promoted field officer in history. If I am determined to develop at that time, I may be able to learn from Eisen Howe. Will, live in that White House."

Luke's thinking keeps diverging, outlining a beautiful blueprint for the future.

After a while, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and laughed at himself, "It seems like I'm thinking too far."

This young man who was promoted to captain and was about to lead the Roaring Commando, got rid of unnecessary distracting thoughts and returned to the issue of his own ability.

"I'm Superman now—although it's a low-profile version."

Luke opened the character panel and looked at the data presented on it.

The power he possesses is about the same as when Superman first came out.

In terms of speed, it can run faster than a car with full horsepower, punch through a thick steel plate, and the dynamic vision can capture the trajectory of the bullet.

The muscle density far exceeds that of ordinary people, making it difficult for ordinary small-caliber bullets and cold weapons to cause fatal damage to Luke.

It can be said that the Man of Steel is invulnerable - regardless of heavy fire weapons.

"The upper limit of the superman template for LV1 civilians is probably the evolution of physical fitness to the point where you can catch bullets with your bare hands and block the shells with your body."

Luke thought about it, he wanted to unlock "flying" and "hot sight", and that required the Superman template of the LV2 fighter.

"It feels like when Superman debuted, he wasn't that powerful. It wasn't until later that his abilities became more and more perfect—to the point where he could blow up the six-dimensional universe with one punch!"

Seeing the many superman templates waiting to be unlocked in the consciousness space, Luke suddenly felt that one day he might also be able to evolve to that step.

"A world without Batman and Kryptonite..."

With this in mind, Luke closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

……

Old Joseph's Tavern, Brooklyn.

When Luke walked in, the people who had agreed to meet were already sitting in the corner seats.

"Timothy Allohuis Cadwallad-Dugan... My God! What a long name! I'll call you Dumdan-Dugan!"

Luke beckoned for a glass of stout, pulled out a chair and sat down.

He didn't exchange too many pleasantries, nor did he deliberately act enthusiastically.

Dugan is a typical soldier, with tough features and two upturned beards.

Seeing that his commander was a guy who was too young, his expression was a little gloomy.

Because on a dangerous battlefield, the word young often means not having enough experience and not having experienced several wars.

At the same time, it also means that it would be a very bad thing to hand over one's back to such a person.

"Cavill...Captain. You were promoted very quickly. I heard that you were a third-class soldier a month ago."

Dugan sneered. In his opinion, Luke must be the second generation who climbed into some relationship and came to be gilded.

Otherwise, how could the recruits who joined the army reach the sky in one step and be directly promoted to lieutenant officer!

Moreover, Dugan has never heard of any amazing achievements and exploits of the other party.

Judging from the resume alone, it can be said to be blank.

"I'd rather you call me sir."

Luke smiled, without looking annoyed.

He turned his head, looked at the other person sitting next to Dugan, and said softly: "Dinu Manelli. Colonel Phillips said that you are a genius in disguise and a master of fighting. I am looking forward to your performance."

"And you, Jimmy! Kenneth! Jeff..."

Luke named them one by one.

He had read the information on the members of the Roaring Commando in advance, so he had a preliminary understanding of this team.

"I am your commander and the commander of the Roaring Commando. At least until you receive new orders, you must obey my dispatch and obey my instructions."

Luke leaned back in his chair and said in a rather casual tone.

He didn't have that much time to build a good relationship with a group of soldiers with high eyesight.

"Captain Carville, we are soldiers and we will obey orders."

It seems that Dugan is the leader of this team. He took the lead to stand up and face Luke, "But we only respect capable people, not..."

"Are you trying to say that I look young and not experienced enough? Even though I am a recruit, I still want to put on a majestic posture in front of you?"

Luke interrupted Dugan unceremoniously, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more gentle, "I heard that you are proficient in fighting and firearms. You once went deep into the enemy's rear by yourself and took down a German action team?"

"That's right. After that, everyone called me 'Dumbomb'."

Dugan said proudly with his head held high.

Dum bomb is a kind of bullet made in Britain, commonly known as "blossom bullet" and "shrapnel bullet", which is famous for its amazing lethality.

Because being shot will bring unbearable pain to the human body and is too cruel, international organizations of later generations have applied for many times to ban the use of such bullets.

Since Dugan has such a title, it can be seen that his ability is strong.

"To be honest, I originally wanted to have a fair fight with you to prove that I am not what you imagined. But after thinking about it, it is unfair for me to compete with you."

Luke shrugged his shoulders, took a sip of the dark beer on the table, and said with a smile: "So, I will be a little more direct next, so that everyone can know why I became a captain from a recruit, why I can Lead Howling Commandos."

"However, I hope you will not be afraid of the scene you will see later."

"Hahaha, Captain Carville, we are all soldiers who have experienced battles and survived hell! We will not be afraid!"

Dugan clutched his stomach and laughed exaggeratedly.

He just felt that Luke was bluffing, what terrible scene could scare him?
