what to do? How can I do?
Just as Chu Hang was extremely anxious, the situation on the field suddenly changed!
After failing to break through, the "hound" seemed to have exhausted its last bit of patience. It let out a roar that was not human, and slammed its already broken arm into Steve's shield!
Steve clearly hadn't expected him to attack in such a self-destructive way. Caught off guard, his shield was knocked slightly to the side, revealing a tiny opening!
A look of wild joy flashed in "Hound's" eyes, and the military knife in his other hand, like a viper's tongue, stabbed straight at Steve's side at an extreme speed!
If this knife had landed, even with the protective suit, it would have been a serious injury!
Steve's pupils contracted sharply. He tried to pull back his shield to defend, but it was too late!
Chu Hang's mind went completely blank with a "buzz"!
At that critical moment, his body's instincts overwhelmed all thought and calculation!
"Captain! Watch out!"
Chu Hang let out a roar and charged forward from the side like an arrow released from a bow!
His target was neither the "hunting dog" nor the deadly military knife!
It's Captain America!
He used all his strength to slam his shoulder hard into Steve's back!
Steve felt a tremendous force, one that shouldn't belong to an ordinary soldier, coming from behind him, pushing him forward uncontrollably.
It was this stumble that allowed him to narrowly avoid the fatal blow! The gleaming military knife barely grazed his lower back, leaving only a faint white mark on his combat uniform.
As Chu Hang bumped into Steve, his hand naturally landed on the other man's broad, muscular back.
In his heart, Chu Hang roared at the loudest volume he had ever heard in his life!
"Target detected: Steve Rogers. Replicable ability discovered: [Super Soldier Serum]. Replicate?"
Yes! Yes! Yes! Copy it for me!
Chu Hang felt as if his very soul was screaming!
"【Super Soldier Serum】Copy successful. The ability is currently fusing with the host, and a comprehensive enhancement of physical attributes is expected to be completed within 24 hours."
An indescribable, warm, and powerful current surged into him from where his palm touched the ground, then quickly spread throughout his body! He felt every cell in his body cheering and leaping with joy! The feeling was like parched seedlings finally receiving sweet rain, like a drifting boat finally finding its harbor!
An unprecedented sense of power and security filled his entire being!
However, before he could even feel happy, a sharp pain shot through his ribs!
The "hound" missed its first strike, and without thinking, it swung its knife back and plunged it deep into Chu Hang's body!
Chu Hang felt a chill run through his body. Looking down, he saw that the tip of the military knife was protruding from his side, and blood was gushing out along the blade.
That fucking hurts...
Chu Hang grinned, a thought flashing through his mind, then everything went black before his eyes, and his body went limp and he collapsed.
Steve's frantic roar was the last thing he heard before he lost consciousness.
Chapter 21: He didn't die, and he even got stronger.
Steve Rogers felt his blood freeze into ice in that instant, and then be completely ignited by the magma deep within the earth in the next second.
It was an anger that was both extremely cold and extremely violent.
He watched as the Eastern soldier who had just fought alongside him, clearing countless obstacles for him with his precise marksmanship, was brutally stabbed through the body by the enemy's poisoned military knife while trying to push him away.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down.
He could clearly see the fleeting look of surprise and pain on Chu Hang's face, see the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and see the light in his eyes rapidly fading away.
This soldier named Chu Hang—Steve had only just memorized his name. He was brave, calm, and possessed a tactical mind and battlefield instinct beyond his years. Steve had even come to regard him in his heart as his most trustworthy comrade-in-arms in this team.
But now, this comrade-in-arms has fallen in front of him in an attempt to save him.
"Do not--!"
A suppressed roar erupted from deep within Captain America's throat. His azure eyes were filled with a terrifying crimson at that moment.
If in the previous battles he still retained the rationality and tactics of a soldier, now, only one thought remained in his mind.
Kill this guy in front of you! In the most cruel and direct way!
The Hydra soldier codenamed "Hound" revealed a morbid ecstasy after stabbing Chu Hang. He hadn't killed Captain America, but taking down one of his important allies was enough to satisfy him. He didn't even have time to pull out his knife before he tried to kick Chu Hang's corpse aside to buy himself some breathing room.
But he was wrong, terribly wrong.
He was facing a super soldier who had been thoroughly enraged.
"call--!"
His response was a red, white, and blue afterimage accompanied by a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air.
Steve didn't even make any unnecessary movements. He simply poured all his anger into his right arm and slammed the vibranium shield in his hand out like a brick!
The hound's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.
He only felt a blur before his eyes, and an irresistible, terrifying force, like a battering ram, slammed solidly into the side of his face.
A sickening sound of bones cracking rang out.
The hound's head bent at a completely abnormal angle to the other side. The ecstasy on his face froze instantly, replaced by extreme horror and disbelief.
He didn't even get a scream out before he was sent flying like a boneless sack, crashing heavily into a hard rock in the distance with a thud, then sliding down and remaining motionless.
One strike! Just one strike!
This Hydra elite, who had just been fighting Captain America to a standstill and demonstrating superhuman soldier qualities, was completely eliminated.
But Steve didn't even glance at him.
The instant the shield left his hand, he turned around, rushed to Chu Hang's side, and carefully and gently supported his falling body.
"Chu Hang! Hang on! Chu Hang!" Steve's voice trembled with anxiety that he himself was unaware of.
He laid Chu Hang flat on the ground, intending to bandage him.
Just as Steve was about to tear off his clothes and try some futile attempts to stop the bleeding, he suddenly froze.
When their gaze fell upon the gruesome wound on his abdomen.
It has already healed; the wound is completely invisible.
What's happening here?
Steve's mind went blank, a sudden, overwhelming sensation. He even instinctively rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating from the stress.
But this is not an illusion!
The wound has healed!
Just as he was still in shock, Chu Hang, who was lying on the ground, let out a painful groan, his eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.
It hurts so fucking much!
This was Chu Hang's first thought after regaining consciousness.
He felt as if someone was stirring his stomach with a red-hot iron rod; the excruciating pain that went deep into his bones almost made him faint again.
However, amidst this excruciating pain, he also felt a different kind of sensation.
It was a warm, powerful feeling, like a rushing river. This warm current was surging from the deepest part of his body, flowing through his limbs and nourishing every parched cell.
He could clearly feel every part of his body undergoing a dramatic transformation. His muscles were becoming stronger. His bones were becoming denser. His blood seemed to flow more powerfully.
Is this the power of the Super Soldier Serum?
Chu Hang couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh in his heart. Although the process was a bit painful, the result was fucking awesome! The self-healing factor handled the healing, and the super soldier serum handled the enhancement—these two abilities were a perfect match!
"Chu Hang? How...how are you feeling?"
Steve's voice, tinged with uncertainty and shock, rang in my ears.
Chu Hang turned his head with difficulty and saw Captain America's bewildered face, which seemed to say, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I seeing?"
He was secretly overjoyed. "You think you're so knowledgeable, so chosen one? You've never seen anything like this—a person coming back to life right before your eyes, have you?"
But his face perfectly displayed an expression of weakness, confusion, and pain.
"It hurts... Sir... Am I... dead?" Chu Hang's voice was hoarse like a broken gong, and his acting skills were comparable to an Oscar-winning actor.
"You're not dead!" Steve answered instinctively, but then realized something was wrong. He pointed at Chu Hang's stomach, his voice trembling, "Your wound... your wound..."
Chu Hang followed his gaze and looked down. He saw that the military knife was still stuck in his stomach, but the surrounding wounds had healed more than half, leaving only a ring of hideous red scars.
He thought to himself, "Damn, this self-healing factor is amazing," but he continued to pretend to be stupid.
"I...I don't know...I've always been...stronger than others since I was little..." Chu Hang said as he reached out and shakily grasped the knife handle. Then, under Steve's horrified gaze, he gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled out the military knife!
A spurt of blood shot out again!
"What are you doing!" Steve was startled and quickly reached out to press it.
But the next second, both he and Chu Hang were stunned.
The pulled-out knife wound, after spurting out a spurt of blood, contracted and closed rapidly at a speed several times faster than before! In the blink of an eye, not even a mark could be seen!
Chu Hang was also stunned. He could feel that it was the power of the newly generated super-soldier serum that accelerated this process! These two forces had actually produced a miraculous chemical reaction!
Steve stared at the smooth skin, then at the blood-stained hands, and was completely dumbfounded. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time. His worldview, based on science and common sense, shattered in that instant.
Just as the two were staring at each other, in an awkward and strange atmosphere, a series of chaotic footsteps and shouts came from the nearby mountains and forests.
"Over here! The gunshots are coming from this side!"
"Quick! Everyone, keep up!"
It's the Roaring Commandos! They've finally arrived!
Soon, Dugan, Logan, and several other team members rushed out of the woods. When they saw the scene before them, which resembled a slaughterhouse, and Steve and Chu Hang standing amidst a pile of corpses, they were all stunned.
Logan sniffed the air intently; his animalistic instincts immediately alerted him to something amiss. He first glanced at the gruesome-looking "hunter," then fixed his gaze intently on Chu Hang.
In the air, besides the heavy smell of blood, he also smelled... a new, powerful scent, somewhat similar to, yet completely different from, that emanated from the captain.
"Well done, Captain!" Dugan broke the silence first, glancing at the surrounding corpses and sincerely praising them. Then he looked at Chu Hang and Gabe, "You two lads, you're really lucky to be alive!"
