Chapter 97 The Supreme Benevolence of Steve, The Theft of Lanthanum-Carbon Alloy!

The training ground was buzzing with excitement.

Erskine, who was hiding in his office, heard all the commotion outside and rushed out to see what was going on.

"Colonel, what happened?"

Unaware of what was going on, Erskine quickly approached Phillips, who was preparing to watch the show, and asked curiously.

Phillips, still with his beloved old pipe dangling from his mouth, leaned back comfortably against the jeep behind him.

"As you can see, the soldiers of America are putting on their unique welcoming ceremony for the esteemed Captain Qian!"

Erskine had been in the military camp for quite some time, so he naturally understood what Phillips meant by the welcoming ceremony. It was just a bunch of vulgar and rude habits of the soldiers, who ganged up to torment every new recruit.

Thankfully, Erskine was a researcher; otherwise, he doubted these thugs could have lifted him up too, Aruba.

Erskine paused for a moment, recalling Qian Chen's life-saving grace at the experimental base, and couldn't help but feel more worried.

Seeing this, Phillips teased, "Don't worry, Captain Qian is very capable—I had someone investigate his background; he's a legendary hero from the Eastern Continent!"

"Legend has it that he once single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of thousands of invaders from the Japanese island nation outside Nanjing City."

Erskine's eyes widened, clearly in disbelief.

Phillips chuckled, took a deep drag of his thick smoke, feeling the nicotine filling his lungs, and laughed, "Of course: I think that record is a joke: even if he had a line of 100,000 pigs to slaughter, he'd be exhausted to death—let alone hundreds of thousands of well-equipped soldiers?"

"It's highly likely that this is a fabricated battle report deliberately created by the Eastern Continent to create a benchmark hero; it's utterly laughable—"

Erskine turned to look at Phillips upon hearing this, and the latter immediately realized he had misspoke and hurriedly added, "Of course, Captain Qian certainly has real skills too—"

"So I don't think there's any need to worry. Letting Captain Qian experience the unique culture of America will help him get along with the soldiers in the future—after all, we still need to choose the master of the divine weapon!"

Erskine did not reply.

As a traditional scientific researcher, he was completely at odds with the roughnecks in the military camp, but that was the reality of America, and there was nothing he could do to change it.

Seeing that Erskine didn't respond, Phillips didn't want to make a fool of himself. He simply stood on tiptoe and looked up, trying to get a clearer view of the scene on the training field.

"Oh, look!"

"Captain Qian made that kid Hodge stand out from the crowd!"

"Huh? What's going on? What does that gesture mean?"

"Is he trying to flick Hodge on the head?"

On the training ground.

Gilmore Hodge continued his reckless provocation of Qian Chen, watching as Qian Chen smiled and curled his fingers, even leaning his head forward: "Oh, does the commander want to flick my forehead? Is this the special punishment of the East?"

"Come on! Quick, flick it on my forehead!"

"Should I move closer? I don't want to miss!"

The training ground erupted in laughter.

Some soldiers, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, even joined in with grins and shouts, "Please, sir, can you flick me on the head next? I'm really scared!"

"Yeah, yeah! Please flick me too—"

"Hahaha—what a sissy Easterner—"

"Mockery, ridicule, and all sorts of foul language."

Qian Chen smiled slightly.

"Okay! I'll definitely make sure you get yours!"

With a bang, the finger snapped out, and a loud bang erupted from the air.

The soldiers, who had been laughing and joking, suddenly stopped laughing!

Poor Gilmore Hodge hadn't even reacted before he felt like he'd struck gold; in a daze, the world spun around him, and his whole body went numb and lost all feeling.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

In his confusion, he began to ponder the meaning of life.

Because he can do nothing but think.

Steve was completely dumbfounded!

He originally thought Qian Chen was joking when he told him that "even if everyone in the base were tied up, they wouldn't be enough for him to fight with one hand," but he didn't expect that Captain Patriot was really that fierce!

Jehovah above, this is hardly a flick on the forehead!

This power looks even stronger than a dump truck!

Qian Chen blew on his fingers, made the hand gesture again, looked around at the soldiers who were now silent with fear, and asked with a smile, "Who else wanted to get flicked on the forehead just now?"

"Could you please step forward? Thank you!"

The soldiers who had been shouting all fell silent.

Looking at Hodge, who was lying on the ground unable to move, they all shrank their necks like quails.

"OK! Discretion is the better part of valor!"

"You may be blind, but at least you're not stupid!"

Qian Chen nodded in satisfaction, then loudly commanded, "Everyone, stand at attention! Begin the 10-kilometer march now!"

"The slowest person goes hungry today!"

With the deterrent effect of flicking Hodge away with a single finger, none of the soldiers present dared to jump up and down. At Qian Chen's command, they lined up in unison and obediently rushed out of the training ground.

Only Steve remained standing there, looking conflicted.

Qian Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, an invisible pressure emanating from him: "Hmm? Steve, are you deaf to my words? Or do you think you'll receive special treatment here?"

Steve shook his head repeatedly: "No, no!"

He hesitated for a moment, then resolutely walked toward Gilmore Hodge, whose life was hanging in the balance, and began to skillfully examine the other's injuries, immediately taking first aid measures.

"Steve, you need to understand—your physical abilities are no match for those soldiers. If you keep dawdling, you'll definitely be last—and you won't get any food today!"

"Someone will come and take care of him in a little while—"

"You'd better hurry up and catch up with the main group!"

Steve grinned, his gaze pure.

"Oh well, I'm going to be last anyway, so what difference does it make whether I leave early or late?"

"Instead of wasting a little bit of time, let's help treat this guy's injuries first."

"You're right, aren't you?"

After saying that, Steve bent down again.

Qian Chen sighed upon seeing this.

really!

Steve Rogers became the revered Captain America not because of the Super Soldier Serum!

At this moment, Steve not only received praise from Qian Chen, but also won over Erskine with this scene.

He had seen many people lost in the pursuit of power, so he was even more amazed by Steve's pure and utter kindness.

Even Phillips, who had always believed in the supremacy of power, fell silent, seemingly realizing his own despicable nature!

That frail body concealed a truly kind heart!

Steve is the perfect candidate for the Evolution Serum!

Erskine had never been so certain —

Just as everyone was having different thoughts, a military jeep sped up outside the training base!

Carter slammed on the brakes again, got out of the car with a flourish, but her pretty face was filled with anxiety.

She rushed to Qian Chen's side and said urgently, "Chen, something's happened!"

"Howard's data on lanthanum-carbon alloys has been stolen!"
