Chapter 97 Wolf Winter and "Styx" (two chapters in one)
"Teacher, my parents died very early, and the world outside the manor no longer has Sergeant Barnes."
James looked at Bucky's increasingly complicated eyes, and listened silently to him continuing.
"Since Steve met you many years ago, he is no longer a brother who needs my care. Now he, hehe, although he still likes to do stupid things, but with you here, there is nothing to worry about."
"Thank you for letting me see a possibility, so... I want to try to walk on that path."
Bucky's right hand pinched the tiger's mouth of the Adamantium alloy palm, caressing the lines on it, raised his head, grinned playfully, and winked at James ingratiatingly.
Greenland, a certain permafrost uninhabited land.
A military transport plane, with a flat and short model covered with a blue-black coating, an additional pair of tail wings, and four aircraft with ice-blue hot flow power units, slowly landed vertically on the ground. on the ice.
The fiery energy flow quickly melted the solid ice cap, exposing the permafrost below that had never seen the sun for thousands of years. The four-wing transport plane stopped still, and the hatch at the tail was lowered.
It was the extreme daylight season of the year again, and a group of wolf pack warriors dressed in pitch-black combat uniforms cast their long figures on the ground.
Remus Pete stepped down first, surrounded by the first generation of eight "Winter Wolves". Maintain your physical condition as much as possible.
The injection of super soldier serum allowed them to break through their physiological limits and reach their peak.
There are a total of thirteen new-generation wolves in the back, all in their early twenties, at a vigorous age, looking forward to the upcoming Winter Wolf Ceremony.
Bucky rubbed his left shoulder with some pain. His Edman metal arm has been removed, and the flesh and blood that was originally connected to the mechanical synapse structure have been peeled off again and exposed to the outside.
The injection of the evolutionary serum will change the body shape to a certain extent, so after the ceremony, Dr. Zola and others will re-modify the size and structure of the metal arm, and because of Bucky's trial in the past half a year, many technical aspects have been improved. space.
He touched the tightly wrapped severed arm with some discomfort. After getting used to the weight and convenience of the metal arm, Bucky really didn't want to experience the state of being one-armed anymore.
However, I feel a lot more relaxed in my body. The density and quality of Edman's metal is extremely high, and with the complex internal components, it is like a solid huge lead weight hanging on the body every day, and the musculoskeletal muscles on the other side of the body will feel sore and uncomfortable.
Ordinary people’s prosthetic limbs are adapted according to the weight of the other limb before they can be used normally. However, after the injection of serum breaks through the limits of the physical attributes, such weight should be ignored.
Under the frozen soil, Asazzo teleported out with James. He looked at the huge underground space, a rock wall had been dug out to create a secluded space, which had been remodeled with various steel structures, displaying a Rows of metal cabins.
The wolves came down from the passageway above, purged and saluted, and the thirteen newly promoted winter wolves took off their clothes one by one, wearing only a pair of shorts, naked, and came to their respective serum injection warehouses.
"Sir, this is the last remaining 'Styx' serum. After removing the heart-shaped grass material used for research before and the ten plants you used for your breakthrough, only this one is left. This tube was prepared. Potion."
Dr. Erskine was holding a simple and simple metal box, inside which lay a serum injection tube emitting bright purple light spots.
Wakanda heart-shaped grass is grown and catalyzed by the special radiation of vibrating meteorites, and it cannot be replanted after leaving that land.
This magical plant will not die soon after leaving the soil with radiation power, but as time goes by, the heart-shaped grass will gradually lose its medicinal properties, and it can only be preserved for a long time if it is extracted or placed in a box made of vibrating gold.
"I see, let's get ready."
James stared at the "Styx" serum for a few seconds, and nodded to Dr. Erskine. The doctor came to the evolution cabin next to Bucky, and put the very special reagent tube in his hand into the injection tank.
Except for the difference in blood serum, Bucky’s other ritual procedures are the same as those of the members of the wolf pack.
"let's start."
James said loudly. After hearing this, more than a dozen young men couldn't wait to lie down in the evolution cabin. Bucky looked at Dr. Erskine next to him.
um.
The thirteen evolutionary cabins made continuous low-frequency roars one after another. The medicine had been pushed in, and the high-energy energy crystal block extracted from the cosmic Rubik's Cube simultaneously supplied the energy needs of all the evolutionary cabins.
This is a new type of ray transformed from pure and clean Rubik's Cube energy. Compared with the Vita ray that Steve used at the beginning, the effect is more stable and safer.
After the serum was pushed into the veins of his neck, Bucky felt all the blood vessels in his body burn hotly, and the pain became more and more intense. With the flow of blood, the serum was quickly pushed to every part of the body, big and small. Organization, Bucky couldn't help but growl.
"Hoah!"
His evolution cabin trembled violently. Dr. Erskine and Zola exchanged glances, and hastily activated the alloy lock in the evolution cabin to control Bucky from shaking violently.
The roar of the thirteen evolutionary cabins became more and more sharp and high-pitched, and the ice-blue energy rays filled the entire cabin, and beams of light were emitted through the observation mirror. Bucky couldn't help but worry.
Bucky in the cabin opened his eyes wide, and his body was covered with thick and thin blood vessels. His skin peeled off layers of epidermis and dirty body fluids. Little mouse, agitating and running around.
His black pupils were numb and out of focus, as if his soul had escaped from the skin.
In Bucky's consciousness, he is constantly falling.
It was a towering and boundless glacier mountain. His left arm was broken, and the broken bones and flesh were still gushing blood, floating in the air. He felt that he had fallen for a long, long time, as if the next moment would be To pieces.
He looked at the vast snow-capped mountains and the blue-gray sky with dark clouds, and wanted to fall asleep more and more. This continuous feeling of weightlessness made people feel a little dazed.
Boom!
James suddenly aroused the energy in his body, and the blood-red aura around him exploded out of thin air, his hair was flying, and he stared at Bucky's evolution cabin closely, his heart pulsation gradually became consistent with Bucky's, Vibrate with him.
dong dong dong dong
Bucky was about to enter the consciousness of eternal silence, and was slowly awakened by the strange vibration sound. He became clearer and clearer, opened his eyes in the conscious world again, and saw countless times in his mind, lingering A pair of eyes splashed with blood-red flames.
"Ho—hoo hoo. hoo."
His sluggish pupils regained focus, and his chest heaved unceasingly, as if a drowning person finally broke out of the water and took the first breath of life-saving oxygen.
Every part of his body was full of itching and soreness, and the wound on his left arm was extremely itchy. It seemed that something was about to grow out, but soon the wound that hadn't scabbed yet healed slowly visible to the naked eye.
Boom, boom, boom.
The doors of the evolution cabins popped open one after another, and the newborn winter wolf warriors inside jumped out. Their bodies were glistening with water, their muscles swelled, and their bodies had grown slightly bigger.
Bucky pulled the edge of the hatch with his right hand, and slowly got up.
He is a few centimeters taller, and he is about 1.83 meters tall. His whole body is much wider, especially his arms and shoulders, which are thick and exaggerated. The strong back muscles brought about by practicing the "Falling Star" punch, Excessively developed, like a hideous grimace.
The state of the killing technique has also jumped to the third stage, and the parts that have not yet penetrated the strength are all completed overnight, and there is no more barriers.
James had already retracted the torrent of turbulent qi, and scanned the new generation of wolf pack fighters one by one. He watched them pound their chests with their right fists, knelt down on one knee, waved their hands casually, and signaled to get up.
"Sir, it's time."
Remus Pete walked towards James with a smile, and looked back at his son Colin.
Nine winter wolves of the previous generation walked into a deep pit dug in the underground space. James came to them and stared deeply at each of them.
"Take care of your mother."
Remus instructed Colin, and Opal on the other side also spoke to his father for the last time. After the serum injection, he had the most exaggerated changes, and he already had a tall figure like his father.
Most of the wolf pack fighters who decided to join the "Wolf Winter" project were pure fighters who were obsessed with combat training. Make ideal choices.
Once frozen, no special circumstances, it will take decades or even longer to wake up again, except for these old buddies and Mr. James Howlett, their family members will not be there.
"Father, it's fine."
Colin, who has always had a calm demeanor, looked at Remus with a smile: "I will take good care of my mother. When she leaves one day, I will also enter the winter of wolves, and see you on the day when the frost melts."
Remus patted his son on the shoulder for the last time, and stood in the erected frozen compartment. James met his eyes, nodded slowly, walked to the middle of the two rows of frozen compartments, and said solemnly .
"For you, it may be just a moment when you close your eyes. When you open your eyes again, I will bring the promised era. Sleep, my brothers."
chee chee chee
Pieces of frost covered the corners of the cabin. The nine winter wolves took the initiative to silence their heartbeats, and gradually fell asleep under the extremely low temperature. Another short time, on the day when the ice and snow melt.
Return.
"All right, Sergeant Barnes."
Dr. Zola's small and sharp voice sounded. He finally checked the nerve interface of his left shoulder, indicating that Bucky can put his arm on himself. His short stature and strength can't hold it, and he is a few centimeters longer, which is also a circle bigger. Adamantium alloy arm.
Bucky's upper body was bare, with chunks of muscles stretched out on it. He picked up the wrist of the metal arm with his right hand and shook it, no longer feeling the weight.
Lightly clasped the metal joint on the left shoulder, tried to hold it with the alloy fingers, stood up and swung the left arm around, there was a crisp sound of breaking through the air and the unique sound of metal arm movement.
He still needs to slowly adapt to the power of the "Styx" serum. What he can experience now is the power of the skyrocketing power, the majestic vigor trained by the killing technique, and a certain self-healing ability.
The left shoulder of his broken arm had a strong itching and growth sensation after the serum was successfully absorbed and transformed, but in the end it only healed the wound on the broken part. This self-healing power derived from James Howlett's blood has reached Not to the extent of regeneration of severed limbs.
"Mr. Barnes, the master told you to go to the back of the manor."
The butler of the old house came to the laboratory of the underground palace and said to Bucky gracefully. He looked at the rough and ingenious metal arm with a little surprise, nodded with a smile, and walked up.
Behind the manor is a valley extending from the Rocky Mountains. It is not a majestic mountain, but the mountain is empty and flat, with only sparse trees and boulders. James often came here to practice exercises when he was young.
Bucky’s legs smashed into afterimages like a galloping horse, and he ran up the mountain in seven or eight breaths, jumping over boulders and mountain streams from time to time, like a vigorous and flexible bobcat.
Seeing him coming up, James casually threw away the cloak on his body, and said casually with his white jade-like upper body with a strange physical beauty.
"How is the power of the serum getting used to it?"
Bucky seemed to have guessed something, suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "I haven't gotten used to it yet, and I don't know which step I have improved to."
James waved his hand: "Try your best."
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a fiery torrent erupted from Bucky's body, and the space in his sight suddenly distorted, and his shoulder-length brown-black long hair fluttered up and down.
With another effort, the brown linen shirt on his upper body was shattered, his marble-like muscles swelled with blood, and the grass under his body was pressed tightly against the ground by the airflow.
James looked at the vigor and energy released by Bucky, already faintly blood-red in color, hooked the corners of his mouth, and became a little interested.
"Hoah!"
boom!
The air was suddenly compressed and the explosion produced a loud noise that echoed in the valley. Bucky shot forward with all his strength, and the ground and rocks under his feet were deeply plowed into a hole more than two meters long.
His figure flashed a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, and Edman's metal left arm used the skill of the falling star and heavy fist that exploded in his body to eject hot white steam from every gap, piercing James's body head.
Pa, a powerful punch was firmly received in James' palm. He just trembled his forearm slightly, revealing four protruding canine teeth. .
Bucky knelt on the ground with a plop, the metal arm creaked, and the twisted metal wrist rubbed against it to make a strange sound.
Boom! Click!
James lifted his foot and blasted Bucky, who was wrestling desperately, to no avail, and knocked down the big tree surrounded by one person behind him.
Pfft. Bucky clutched his collapsed chest, vomited a mouthful of blood, subconsciously clenched the alloy palm, and crushed a piece of bluestone into fine powder.
He stood up, twisted his neck, the hollow of the broken sternum slowly bulged up, and before he fully recovered, he threw himself on the body again.
James squinted his eyes happily, facing an opponent who could heal his injuries to a certain extent, it would allow him to let go of his hands and feet and play for a while.
Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish, Bucky's flickering movement became more and more ghostly, obviously thick and exaggerated, but he always avoided the opponent's punches dangerously and dangerously. James deliberately slowed down the speed and rhythm, letting his strength go all out. Probably less than Bucky.
The two of them were quite a bit back and forth and started fighting.
"Full power! Full power!"
James urged his disciples, he was tired of cooperating with feeding moves, he didn't arouse the energy of the stellar energy, but only used part of his strength on the physical level, and lightly slapped Bucky's iron fist wrapped in blood-red steam like a high-pressure speed-up.
The palm knife slashed, cutting off the bones at his shoulder and collarbone.
Bucky's right arm was temporarily weak, he took two steps back, his body was still surging, James smiled ferociously.
Shua!
The bone blade claws of both hands were revealed.
"Gudong. Teacher, you, take it easy."
Bucky swallowed a little in panic, and watched James protrude from the back of his hand, which was nearly half a meter long, pale and shiny, with a faint silver-gray luster, and groaned in fear.
"Don't worry, I won't cut off your head!"
Wow! The piercing sparks burst out, Bucky subconsciously blocked the metal arm in front of him, and the bone blade slashed through the air, splashing out a string of sparks.
James swung his left hand from bottom to top, controlled the depth, and cut Bucky from the waist to the shoulder, making a deep cut that reached the internal organs.
Bucky was startled into a cold sweat. He could feel that if the teacher's bone blade moved forward a little bit, he would be cut into several sections. He didn't dare to be careless. He turned his body to the right and left arm forward, ding Dangdang desperately carried the bone blade and slashed and stabbed dazzlingly.
After James finally fully discovered the power of his own body and mutant genes, the bones of the whole body, especially the exoskeleton weapons grown out, have surpassed all known tough substances except vibrating gold and Adamant alloy.
He has enough strength and energy released, and can even destroy the secondary Edman metal that has been infused with a certain amount of vibrating gold.
But there is still nothing we can do about pure Vibranium and Adamantium.
Hang Kang Kang. Kang.
After hacking for a long time, James finally got a little bored, tired of chopping the target, and put away the bone claws. Looking at Bucky who let out a sigh of relief and was still in fear, he said slowly.
"The power of 'Styx' is not bad. The increase in all aspects is almost double that of ordinary serum, and the self-healing speed is not so good. Remember, if it is a severed limb injury, it cannot regenerate, but it can be quickly connected. .”
"As for your cell lifespan and various specific data, go back and wait for Dr. Erskine's research report, there is a high probability that it will be extended a lot."
Bucky tossed his hair, smiled obsequiously, and flattered him, "That's not a good thing for you."
He knew that the "Styx" serum was formulated with the teacher's blood as part of the basic research, so the self-healing and anti-aging abilities he obtained now also came from him.
"With the self-healing ability, the second level of the killing technique will be much easier. Go back and think about it slowly. I have also told you how to practice. It is your own business to break through and develop to a final step. "
Bucky nodded thoughtfully, and asked in confusion and curiosity: "Then what level has Steve practiced now?"
"He, although the body is just an ordinary super soldier serum for the time being, but at the level of the killing technique"
James patted Bucky's shoulder that was too thick now, and encouraged him: "You still have to work hard."
Accepting Steve Rogers as a student back then was not an ordinary way to find a child with excellent talent. In James' view now, Steve is the only one he has hoped to be like him so far. Hierarchy of people.
"Captain Rogers, I need you to think clearly about what you just said."
Strategic Science Reserve Bureau, also known as the Strategic Science Corps, Mr. Roger Duli, the head of the New York branch, is combing meticulously, with a sleek mid-section hairstyle.
He stared at the tall and handsome Captain Steve Rogers with his hands straddled in front of him, his eyes widened, and he suppressed an angry growl between his words.
"I know very well, sir."
Sub-bureau chief Du Li narrowed his eyes. He sat back and puffed out his chest, trying to make himself look more imposing.
"Do you know the consequences of a soldier who blatantly disobeys orders? Obey orders! It's the bounden duty of a soldier!"
Du Li patted the table, finally no longer restrained, and roared loudly.
Steve frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
The vocation of a soldier is an incomparably huge hat. Every country will, and must, discipline professional soldiers in this way. This is a logic that cannot be simply judged by the so-called morality and cognition of good and evil.
But his original intention of joining the army was to defend his country and dedicate his duty as a citizen. But when the goal and appeal of the battle turned into pure aggression and bullying, Steve Rogers hesitated.
"Sir, I admit that I am not a good soldier. As a soldier, I should not have my own will. I am powerless to refute. But I joined the army desperately to defend this country, but—"
His eyes were unusually sharp, no longer drooping, he stared straight at Roger Duli, and spoke sonorously.
"I don't think that crossing the ocean and going to a country on the peninsula to fight is defending the United States. This is pure hegemony. I am willing to accept military law and even accept retirement."
Steve stopped talking, did not speak too clearly and sharply, and threw the problem to Director Du Li, whose face was flushed and his apple muscles were twitching in a hurry.
Roger Duley was at a loss for words. He had no right to dispose of the "Captain America" who had made great achievements in World War II and had a great reputation throughout the United States, and he couldn't afford to force the "property" of the country and the military away. as a result of.
He tugged at the neckline, the delicate Windsor knots were messed up, waved his hands, and finally did not say a word, allowing Steve Rogers to turn and leave.
Du Li pondered for a moment, and dialed the phone. He listened to the hoarse voice in the receiver, and nodded frequently: "...Okay, the timing is indeed a little bit late, I understand, yes, at least he can complete the task of dedicating himself to the country. wish."
