Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

"boom"

The yellow wooden gavel fell, and a low voice spread throughout the solemn and silent military court. There were no bystanders, no jury, and the entire huge room, including judges and stenographers, was less than 10 personal.

But including the prisoner in the center of the room, these people are all high-powered guys. At least in the newly formed Ministry of Defense, their right to speak is very important, and the reason why they appear in their busy schedule Here, besides the fact that today is really important, another reason is that they are all old brothers who have been on the battlefield together.

The friendship of comrades-in-arms made them unable to bear to see an old soldier who was dedicated to his country end up miserably.

"Now the court begins!"

The judge, who was also from the army, glanced at the old general standing in the dock in front. He looked at Ross with a haggard look and a bandage on his arm, but his body was still as straight as a spear. He couldn't help sighing. , With a light cough, read from the file in his hand:

"General Thaddeus Ross, the "Ultimate Soldier" project hosted by you has failed and caused more than one billion dollars in damage. Your test product escaped and brought a terrible threat to national security, so you Was accused of treason, leaking state secrets and 7 other counts. Do you have anything to say about this?"

General Rose snorted contemptuously:

"I don't need a defense lawyer, and I have nothing to say. If those politicians who have gotten in their heads think my experiment has failed, let them talk about it!"

In this special court, the old general spoke freely:

"You only saw the monster, you only saw the experiment out of control, but the investigation report of SHIELD has come out, isn't it? It's not because of the experimental process and design parameters. There is a damn third party deliberately Destroy my experiment!"

This old man, nicknamed "General Thunder", naturally has a bad temper. He roared loudly and waved his left hand:

"You don't go hunting down the damn third party. Instead, you come to ask me, are your brains flooded?"

After finishing speaking, before the judges and lawyers could speak, General Ross simply turned around and looked at the old comrades in the back seat. He said loudly:

"And even if the experiment was destroyed, I still made a monster! Yes, that monster is dangerous, but this is enough to prove the potential of my experiment! Give me another chance!"

He lined up with one hand on the fence in front of him, and he increased his tone:

"The confrontation between mutants in various places has become the norm, and ordinary police and soldiers can't deal with them, who are getting more and more cunning! Look at that damn mutant leader Cyber ​​Hawke. He completely overrides the interests of mutants. Above the majesty of the country! The failure of this experiment further proves that within our system, there are also remnants of damn hostile forces who are trying to subvert this country!"

"Think about it, the monster in the myth has already appeared! Ordinary people don't know, but you absolutely know it! In the face of such an eye-catching force, what should we use to protect our country?"

"Old guys! Old brothers! Comrades! Generals!"

General Rose's face flushed, and he was very emotional, which made his voice sharp:

"Just like facing the threat of the Soviet Union, we can sneak into Europe and South Asia regardless of life and death! Faced with the current situation, I can still choose to give everything for this country, even if it has been controlled by a group of idiots, but we put it on From the day of the military uniform, I never hoped to end my life safely."

"Give me another chance! If I fail, you don't need to say anything, I will end my sad life by myself! If I succeed"

General Ross gritted his teeth:

"I will hand over all the materials and experimental parameters of the Ultimate Soldier Project to the Ministry of Defense!"

If Rose’s previous words were just selling his feelings, then his last words made all the old generals shine. Similar to the very cutting-edge research projects led by General Ross, they are often horizontally independent and only The highest level is responsible, and if Ross decides to share the planned information, it means that other colleagues can quickly learn from it and use it directly.

You know, similar to the cutting-edge research of the ultimate soldier, there are at least 7 inside the Ministry of National Defense, all of which are confidential. Once a project shares resources, other projects are likely to get breakthroughs, so this bargaining chip thrown by General Ross is definitely considered. Heavyweight.

As for why it is good but everyone is not willing to share resources is very simple. People are selfish. Sitting in their position, who doesn't want to go further?Further merits are needed. In the peaceful era, such breakthroughs in military research are merits!

These high-ranking old guys in the Ministry of National Defense looked at each other, and finally one of the powerful generals waved, and the judge and the stenographer left the courtroom. He rubbed his chin and said slowly:

"Ross, we are all immortal who have recovered their lives from the Vietnam War battlefield, so I will just say that if you have something to say, your loyalty to the country is beyond doubt, but the current situation facing the Ministry of Defense is bad, especially in After Cyber ​​Hawke made Stryker’s research public, our credibility has dropped to the lowest point in history."

He glanced at General Rose, and he was relieved:

"We can work together to guarantee you and give you a chance to experiment a second time, but Ross now starts. We are all tied to the same boat. You must guarantee that this experiment will yield results!"

"Otherwise, most of the Ministry of National Defense will be buried with you!"

Another old bald general said, "Are you confident?"

"confidence?"

General Rose reached out and took the cigar handed by his former comrades in arms. He took a deep breath of smoke: "I have always been confident! You have also seen the power of Hulk. This is still an experimental failure. If we succeed, How much can we get? Don't worry, guys, since the first experiment has proven it is feasible, I have enough confidence!"

"Okay! What do you need?"

General Ross breathed a sigh of relief: "The most important gamma-ray generator is only slightly damaged, so I only need a complete laboratory, a group of trusted researchers, a sufficiently smart biologist, and a piece of energy that will not be cut off suddenly. ."

"What about experimental materials?"

The general who spoke at the beginning asked: "Do we need to recruit soldiers from the elite troops?"

"No! No need!"

General Rose shook his head, and a trace of stubbornness flashed in his eyes: "I have the best soldier! And I am sure he is ready!"

Three hours later, in the intensive care ward of the Army Hospital in New York, General Ross, who put on a straight military uniform again, walked into this ward, accompanied by his secretary, and was full of unpleasant medicine. In the room, a person resting on a hospital bed supported by a metal bracket.

General Ross waved his hand. The secretary left the room holding the file and closed the door. The old general sat aside. He sighed and whispered:

"Don't pretend, Emil, I know you can't sleep."

The soldier on the hospital bed opened his eyes. His face was covered with bandages. He looked very miserable. He asked in a bitter voice:

"My Squadron"

"No, it's all gone."

General Rose said in a sad voice: "A total of 35 of the best soldiers are gone. They were brutally killed by that monster. You are the only one who survived."

"Uh"

Colonel Emil clenched his fist, which instantly cracked his wound, and the blood stained the bandage. He gritted his teeth and whispered:

"I can not be reconciled!"

"I'm not reconciled!"

General Rose's voice became low and deep: "Soldiers can die on the battlefield. It is glory. Killed by monsters. Who will be willing to be a shame? But we still have a chance, Emil, you still have a chance!"

"Ok?"

The colonel turned hard to look at the general, who looked around and whispered:

"The experiment restarted. I bet everything about myself on this laboratory. They asked me to choose another person, but I refused. You are the best. I don’t need to find another person. The problem is that, given your current situation, it is very likely to accept the experiment."

"Can it make me stronger?"

The Emil interrupted the general, his eyes flashed with indescribable hatred, and he said loudly: "Can it give me the power to kill that monster? Can it allow me to give revenge to my players?"

General Rose shrugged, took out two cigars from his pocket and lit them for the patient himself. He smoked it himself, and he said softly:

"Frankly, I don't know either"

"But if you don’t try, none of us knows the result. The birth of Hulk proves that the experiment is feasible. If you succeed, we will immediately set out to destroy the monster. He will take away my daughter. If you fail, you It will die, and it will be difficult for me to survive. The last fight is to die if you win, just like what we did on the battlefield in the Middle East."

"We took the risk 7 times and succeeded 7 times. This time I have overwhelmed everything I have, Emil, do you dare to gamble with me?"

"Ahem"

Emile Bronsky stretched out his hand to take the cigar down with difficulty. Every frame of this action made him suffer extreme pain, but the soldier didn't care at all. He looked at General Ross, and he has been following him since he enlisted in the army. Old boss, he nodded:

"Then help me bet too, I'll go all in!"

While Emile Bronsky started a crazy adventure with General Perak, in the office of S.H.I.E.L.D., a special screening was also going on. Ferry stood in the middle of the office and watched the screening. get on.

"According to the results of our exchanges with the wizards of the New York Sanctuary, there are two aspects that affect the adaptability of this mysterious force. The first is your own willpower!"

After Coleson and May both left S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury had to select some new agents to act as right-hands, but he was more accustomed to using old subordinates, so this time the captain of the Sky Mothership was in charge of the screening. , Unranked Agent Maria Hill.

Once again, the unranked agent is not saying that Maria is very good, but it is the best proof of her ability.

Maria wore a pair of glasses, looked at the report in her hand, and said very rigorously:

"The mages regard willpower as soul strength. This statement is true and appropriate. But we don’t have a way to detect soul strength, so we can only choose from those who are engaged in extreme sports. Willpower is excellent among ordinary people!"

"The second factor that affects the power fit is the past experience. From this point of view, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are not suitable because their past experience is too dark and their work pressure is extremely high, which may lead to special Power controls mind."

Hill put down the file, took off his glasses, and said to Fury:

"But even so, I still think that if you have to choose a host, the agent is the most suitable, and the least loyalty can be guaranteed."

Fury shrugged. He looked at Hill, playing with the humidor:

"You made a mistake, Hill. The final carrier was not chosen by me. In fact, I also submitted a list of trusted agents to our "special force consultant", but the final result Those who are familiar with this kind of power will judge. There are always mysterious ways to select mysterious powers, and we laymen only need to provide assistance."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the old cowboy sitting in the office leisurely drinking and smoking, making the whole office smoggy, wearing a shabby cowboy hat, and wearing an old-fashioned cowboy outfit. The back looks a little familiar. .

Ferry, who had recently become addicted to cigarettes, walked over, sat next to the old cowboy, stretched out his hand to light a cigar, and asked in a low voice:

"Do you think I am right? Mr. Carter Shree?"
