Chapter 139: The Dark Winter Soldier
In a separate room in the secret base.
James Barnes was lying topless on a platform, the wound on his broken arm had fully healed, but he was still in a coma.
Mawson pulled out a metal arm from the storage space, the outer layer of the arm was made of some unknown material, and it didn't look bright, with an obscure glow.
In the dark night, it will not even "shoot" the light of the outside world, which is a sharp weapon for stealth assassination.
The inside of the arm is equipped with independent energy sources, and according to Mawson's estimates, if it bursts out with all its strength, it should be comparable to the damage caused by a physical fitness of 6.0 or more!
This is more than a star and a half stronger than in the original movie!
This thing is purely mechanical, and there is no need to consider the body's endurance at all, as long as the energy is sufficient and the preparation is sufficient, it can definitely burst out with terrifying lethality.
Mawson once used the blade on his gloves to test the strength of the metal on the surface of his arm.
Although I don't know how much difference it is compared to the legendary vibranium, at least with Mawson's current strength, he can't break through the surface defense at all.
With such an arm, the strength has not improved by a star and a half, if Barnes was equipped with such an arm in the previous duel, then Mawson may have to pay a lot of price if he wants to win.
Mawson placed the metal arm on Barnes' severed arm, and a message popped up on the personal terminal.
"Whether to put the metal arm in the hands of the Winter Soldier, James Barnes."
"Yes!"
The moment Mawson confirmed, several metal wires as thick as little fingers poked out of the metal arm, and then drilled into Barnes's severed arm.
A hint of pain flashed across Barnes's face, and his body swayed wildly, if it weren't for the cable ties tied to the countertop, he would have rolled to the ground by now.
He was sweating profusely, his eyes rolling rapidly in his closed eyes, and it took a full minute before he stopped.
A large piece of metal then fell off the top of the arm, wrapping around Barnes' wound to form a metal ball socket that resembled a shoulder joint.
Finally, with a soft sound, the metal arm and the ball-and-socket joint were combined, and then, Barnes, who had closed his eyes, opened his eyes violently!
With a hard press of his left hand, he pressed the alloy table into a shallow pit.
Mawson was startled, stepped back, carefully stared at Barnes's movements, and asked tentatively, "Bucky, it's me, Mawson." ”
There was silence.
Barnes didn't struggle anymore, just lay quietly on the table, his eyes hollow, and a trace of sadness hidden in the depths.
"Mawson, why save me, I almost killed you!"
"I watched as my dagger slashed through your throat, and though I tried desperately to stop myself, it didn't help."
"I can't forgive myself."
"You cut my throat, I cut off one of your arms, and we're both even." Mawson's muscles tensed and he took two steps forward.
"I'll help you untie the cable tie on your body."
Mawson walked over to the table, listening to Barnes' reaction as he spoke.
"You know what, Steve is missing, I've lost a friend and don't want to lose another."
Barnes sat up and looked at Mawson with a sincere expression.
"Thank you!"
"I close my eyes now, and my mind is full of images of me slashing your throat and devouring those three elves."
"Do you know what it's like to 'crumple' a person's body and melt it into your own body? Obviously disgusting in my heart, but my body is constantly devouring and begging! ”
"That's cannibalism!"
"I ate three living people with my own cells!!"
Barnes covered his face in pain.
Mawson patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "It's all over, it's not your fault, I've killed the culprit behind it, man, you're free." ”
Barnes shook his head slowly, "No, Mawson, it's not over, Isa Gregory has added something special to my body that makes me lose control of my brain. ”
"Makes me want to eat you!"
"Gain more power!"
Mawson was startled, and Barnes looked hideous, his eyes full of greed and desire.
This Winter Soldier is far more terrifying than in the movies!
"Crunch!"
The edge of the metal platform was distorted by Barnes's metal arm, and he seemed to be holding back the desire in his heart, and then he raised his right hand and punched him three times in front of him, causing his nose to bleed.
"Whew...... Call! ”
Barnes gasped for breath, he raised his head and regained some clarity in his eyes, and looked at Mawson with a look of trepidation, "Help me, don't let me make another mistake, either kill me or freeze me completely!" ”
Mawson was silent, he really didn't expect things to turn out like this, and it took a long time for him to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'll figure it out for you."
"But you need to tell me more about what happened."
Barnes obviously didn't know the full story, but through his words, Mawson learned some truths.
After he was taken under the control of Isagregory, he was taken to a laboratory in Russia, where in addition to him, there were countless Russian soldiers who used it for experiments.
In the beginning, Isagri Gory used Hitler's biochemical modification technology to create a group of biochemical fighters.
However, the combat effectiveness of these warriors did not satisfy him, and the successful biochemical warriors seemed too dull, like the walking dead.
Later, Issa captured a group of elves from nowhere, and he and Mary seemed to have found a way to improve their biochemical experiments through repeated dissections.
The new fighters created appear to be more flexible, and after the instrument clears the memory, it also becomes more reliable.
But the transformation of James Barnes is completely different from the rest of the soldiers.
He said that Isa Gregory was holding a book with a black "color" cover, and it seemed to transfer some kind of strange energy contained in it into his body.
Then, through Isa's special device, all the essence of the three elves was squeezed out and transferred to Barnes's body.
He had gone through this process three times, each painful and painful, and the last time, Barnes was nearly torn apart by the furious energy.
By the time Barnes regained consciousness, he found that he had completely lost control of his body.
Like a floating ghost, he could only watch his body move like a machine under Isa's control.
"It seems that the problem is with that book."
Mawson looked at Barnes, not knowing if it was an illusion, he always felt that Barnes's face "color" had become paler, and even his ears had become slightly narrower.
Looks like an elf!
At Barnes's repeated requests, Mawson had no choice but to remove his mechanical arm and freeze himself.
Mawson took out some of the blood and gave it to Dr. Zola for study, and instructed the doctor that no one should unseal Barnes without his orders.
That's when he had time to check the prompt on his personal terminal.
