Chapter 019: Derivatives
Pain.
It hurts.
In a burst of pain, Mawson slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were white, he felt very thirsty, and his lips moved slightly but he couldn't make a sound.
Mawson struggled to raise his head and look around, and found himself lying in the hospital's recovery ward. He reached out and pressed the edge of the bed, and just as he tried to sit up, he felt a pain in his wrist, and looked down to see a cold handcuff on it.
"What's going on?" He was startled, but then he heard a suppressed quarrel outside the slightly hidden door.
"Professor Elkins, please calm down!" Colonel Phillips' voice came through the crack in the door.
"The change of the Super Soldier's candidate to Gilmo Hodge is already a sure thing, this is the result of serious consideration by many councilors, and you alone cannot change it at all!"
But why is that? Didn't you tell me before that everyone agreed that Mawson was the first super-soldier? As you know from yesterday's attack, isn't it the best proof that he was not afraid to die to protect me? Professor Irkins argued.
"But he killed Greg."
"Greg is an agent of Hydra."
"No, he's not! I personally sent someone to investigate thoroughly all night, and I didn't find any evidence that he was a Hydra agent, so Mawson killed the wrong person. ”
"Greg is a good friend of Councillor Brand, and after the incident, Councillor Brand was furious, and under his influence, the other councillors who supported him rejected the previous proposal and changed it to support Hodge."
"It can't be! Mawson and Greg didn't know each other before, if the other party wasn't a Hydra agent, how could he do it for no reason? Professor Edkins was a little emotional, apparently unable to accept Gilmo Hodge as a super-soldier candidate.
"This is supposed to be a stress response, which is very common in the army, and many fighters are unable to recover their senses in a short time after suffering an emergency. Under the influence of this emotion, they will regard their companions as imaginary enemies, accompanied by some attacks. ”
"This should be the case with Mawson!" Colonel Phillips finally concluded.
"Listen to me Phillips, we can't choose Hodge, he's a villain, once injected with a super soldier serum, the dark side of his personality will be greatly magnified, believe me he won't be a qualified fighter!"
"Professor, this is a war, we need weapons!" Colonel Phillips said word for word.
"Even if you don't choose Mawson, Steve is far more suitable than Hodge!"
"It's useless, Professor Erkins, the councillors can tolerate you being willful once, but not a second!"
"I'd rather abort the experiment than create another villain! Last time, it was because of my weakness that Hydra was born, and this time I will not compromise again! Professor Edkins said firmly.
There was silence in the hallway, and it was a long time before I heard Colonel Phillips reply in a tough manner: "Professor Erkins, this experiment is no longer your project alone, the Allies have invested countless manpower and financial resources in it, and they will go crazy if they don't see results!" Believe me, if you quit the experiment, Mawson won't even get out of the hospital bed......"
"They won't let him go!"
There was a long silence.
"Okay......"
Professor Edkins replied in a harsh voice, and even through the door, Mawson seemed to feel the twilight rushing across the professor's body.
This scientist, who was full of hope, completely lost his heart to those in power.
"The experiment will be officially carried out in three days, you can take a good rest these days, more than half of the parliamentarians will be present at that time, the battlefield ahead is tight, and the allies urgently need a strong injection!" Colonel Phillips patted Professor Edkins on the shoulder, said a few words of comfort and turned away.
Professor Edkins pushed open the door and saw Mawson struggling to sit up, "Did you hear that?" I'm sorry Mawson, but I couldn't keep your Super Soldier spot. ”
"But you saved my life!"
Mawson smiled and replied nonchalantly. Hearing his words, Professor Eikins smiled, "I now feel more and more that you are really the best person to be a super soldier!" ”
It took a lot of effort for Mawson to sit up, and the wound on his body was so painful that he grinned his teeth, but what made him feel strange was that he remembered that on the day of the attack, Professor Eggins was wounded in the thigh by a bullet, but looking at the way he looked now, it seemed that the wound was not serious.
As if sensing Mawson's doubts, Professor Edkins pulled out two injections from his briefcase.
"This was a bonushit I discovered while debugging the Super Soldier Serum." Egins put the injection in Mawson's hand, it can intensify cell division and greatly enhance the metabolism of the organism, inject it, and the gunshot wound on your body will soon heal!
"Hiss" This thing is simply black technology, Mo Sen couldn't help but gasp, this thing can save lives at a critical moment.
The injections on your hand are about the thickness of your thumb, and they are made of metal throughout, and when you use them, you can press and rotate them with your thumb to inject liquid into your body.
"Professor, do you still have it? Can you give me two more? "The world of Marvel is too dangerous, and with this thing, it is equivalent to an extra life.
Professor Irkins shook his head, "This thing is a derivative of the super soldier serum, and its preciousness is no less than that of serum, and there is no way to produce it on a large scale, and the two ones you have in your hand are already the only remaining stocks." ”
Mawson wasn't disappointed, he quickly focused on business, "Professor, you don't have to worry about me, we can't create another monster like Schmidt anyway!" "Just kidding, if Steven can't be Captain America, who should give his shield to.
"Isn't it possible to find evidence that Greg is an agent of Hydra to keep the councillors in support of your decision?" Mo Sen did not rush to use the potion in his hand, but carefully put it away.
"It's useless, these people were originally very dissatisfied with my arrangement of you to participate in the transformation, and this time they just took the opportunity to make trouble." Listening to his words, Mawson was about to say something, but was interrupted by a wave of Professor Erkins' hand.
"Take care of your injuries, I'll take care of the super soldiers. Rest assured, I will never give my heart and soul to these politicians, nor will I create another monster like Schmidt. ”
Looking at Professor Erkins' resolute attitude, Mawson's heart moved slightly but he didn't say anything, there are still three days left, and in these three days, he must find a way to do something, otherwise when Hodge becomes Captain America, his mission will be a complete failure.
Professor Erkins comforted him a few more words and explained the precautions for using the repair solution before turning to leave.
And then Mo Sen remembered the bright red he saw from the arm tattoo before he fell unconscious.
