Chapter 30 Recruit Training
When Alex ran into Steve again, he found him holding a medical checklist in his hand, his thin face full of excitement and his eyes full of disbelief.
Seeing Steve's appearance, Alex knew that it was done.
Sure enough, as soon as Alex approached, Steve grabbed Alex, and his tightly clamped hands made Alex feel a slight pain: "Alex, I succeeded, and I'm a soldier now!" ”
Alex chuckled and pressed Steve, who was a little frantic with excitement: "That's not great, we can fight side by side together!" ”
When Bucky heard the news, he looked suspicious, and he didn't laugh until he saw the medical checklist in Steve's hand, and without saying anything, he grabbed Steve's shoulders with one hand and Alex with the other, tightly.
Without a few days off, the trio were drafted out of Brooklyn for a three-month training camp in New Jersey before being sent to fight the Nazis in World War II.
Before enlisting in the army, Alex and the three of them had gone through more than half a year of physical training, and the physical fitness of the three of them had greatly improved. In the recruit training, Alex and Bucky lead the way with many recruits, and Steve can keep up with most of the people without becoming the tail of a crane like in the movies.
After thorough training, many recruits were assigned to various corps to receive professional physical fitness and military skills training. Alex and Bagene were assigned to the 107th Infantry Regiment, the ace of the Army, for their outstanding performance. Steve behaved mediocre and was assigned to a separate corps.
After a day of training, Alex pulls Bucky to find Steve, Steve has a strong sense of justice, but he doesn't have the corresponding strength, Alex is really worried that he will be bullied in the barracks.
"Alex, did you really get a gun on the first day?" Bucky and Alex walked shoulder-to-shoulder towards Steve's legion, exclaiming, "Did you see that?" Ten guns and ten rings, the instructors were stupid at that time! ”
Alex shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "Do you think I've had a chance to touch a gun before?" "With strong psychic power, Alex can easily lock onto the bullseye of the target, and the next thing is simple, aim, shoot, hit the bull's-eye.
Bucky was about to say something more when a violent voice came from the playground not far away.
"Steve, go home and draw your comics, this is not for you!"
Alex and Bucky looked at each other, their eyes blazing, and they took a step and ran towards the playground.
On the playground, Steve was lying on the ground in embarrassment, his military uniform looked loose on his body, and the steel helmet tied to his head almost covered half of Steve's head.
"Steve, are you alright?" Seeing Steve's miserable appearance, Alex immediately burned the fire, ran a few steps to help Steve up, and stared angrily at the laughing GIs around him with a pair of eyes.
When Steve heard Alex's voice, he turned his head and saw Bucky on the side, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a little surprise: "Alex, Bucky, you are here!" ”
Looking at the soldier who was stronger than himself, Bucky's face sank, and he asked sharply, "Steve, what's going on?" ”
Steve wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said slowly, "It's okay, nothing." ”
Steve wasn't ready to pursue it, but someone was even more arrogant.
"Yo, where's the helper?" The big man in the lead clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Alex and Bucky with disdain.
Alex is tall and tall, but he is very thin, about the same as Steve. Bucky is quite strong, but unfortunately there are seven or eight people on the other side, and one Bucky is obviously not enough to see.
Not to be outdone, Bucky stepped forward and looked at the tall man defiantly: "What, want to fight?" "In Brooklyn, Bucky didn't know how many fights he fought, and his opponents were all stronger and more people than him.
Alex didn't say anything, silently stepped forward, and showed his attitude with his actions.
Steve wanted to persuade them, but seeing the expressions of Bucky and Alex, he clenched his fists and stood beside them.
"What for? Do you want to be kicked out? A middle-aged man in a bright green lieutenant uniform rushed over with a fierce look on his face.
When the tall man saw the comer, his face immediately changed, he stepped forward with a flattering face, skillfully took out a cigarette from his pocket, and respectfully handed it over: "Second Lieutenant Daniel, these three people are the first to stir up trouble." ”
Steve couldn't help but shout, "It's obviously your ......"
Before Steve could finish, the second lieutenant Daniel waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Picking quarrels and provoking trouble in the barracks will be punished for 0 kilometers of weight-bearing cross-country!" ”
The three Alex were even more angry when they heard this, and opened their mouths to argue: "Sir, it was they who provoked first......
"Contempt for Shangguan, add a penalty of 0 kilometers!" Ensign Daniel took a hard puff of his cigarette and looked like he was enjoying himself.
Bucky wanted to do it again, Alex reached out and grabbed it, raised his eyes to look at Ensign Daniel, and said calmly: "Recruit Alex knows his mistake, so he will be punished." He couldn't help but pull Bucky and Steve away, put on his weight-bearing gear and start running with weights.
Bucky and Steve were extremely unwilling, but they could only turn their anger into motivation and follow closely behind Alex.
After running for a long time, Steve was already out of breath, and his weak physique made him overwhelmed by such a heavy burden. Seeing this, Alex and Bucky slowly slowed down and followed Steve.
"I'm the one who bothered you!" Steve walked with difficulty, turning his head to look at the two beside him, a look of guilt.
Bucky spat and said indignantly: "Steve, how can I blame you for this, if you want to blame that Daniel, and that big man!" ”
With that, Bucky turned his head to look at Alex on the other side, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Alex, why did you hold me just now?" I can't wait to beat them up! ”
Alex smiled mysteriously, but didn't explain. Because just now, he saw a strange person, wearing a pair of glasses and a dark gray plaid suit, which was very out of tune with the whole hot military camp. What's more, there was also a man by his side, Colonel Phillips, the highest officer of the boot camp!
The presence of a bespectacled man in the barracks was strange in itself, and with Colonel Phillips by his side, the identity of that man was revealed.
Abraham Ekins, the great doctor who invented the Super Soldier Serum.
Seeing these two people appear, reminiscent of the plot in the movie, Alex immediately guessed that these two should have come to select the experimental subjects of the Super Soldier Project. In order to make a good impression on the two of them, Alex could only stop his anger and obey Lieutenant Daniel's punishment.
As it turned out, Alex did a very good job, and as he ran out, Alex saw a faint smile on Dr. Abraham Erkins' face.
