Chapter 21 - 021 Howling Commandos

The next day.

Luke put on his jacket and headed out to meet Colonel Phillips. ??

Like Rogers, he was also spared from having his blood drawn.

Dr. Erskine was shot and killed, and all the samples were used up - which shouldn't have been the case in the original plot.

In the original plot, there was only one Super Soldier, but now there was an extra - Luke. This caused the serum sample that was left behind to be used up.

Even with a large amount of research data, any attempt to reverse-engineer Dr. Erskine's serum formula was going to be a humongous task,

The only thing they can expect now was in Luke and Rogers's blood. The hope of copying serum was hidden in their genetic code!

However, the military's delusion is ultimately a fragile bubble.

First of all, Luke wasn't really a Super Soldier.

The energy provided by the serum was used to activate the plug-in and open the gift package, thus it didn't play any role in transforming his body.

That's why Luke hardly felt any pain after the injection.

What's more, now he has activated the Superman Card…

Trying to extract something from the blood would undoubtedly be a fool's errand.

Even after decades, the military produced a lot of inferior products with great side effects through the so-called reverse-engineering.

"Have you thought about what you're going to do now, Luke?"

Colonel Phillips looked serious and whispered, "It is impossible to copy the serum formula and create a new super soldier in such a short time. That plan will now be aborted. Those politicians will try their best to get rid of their responsibilities!"

"Also, as a super soldier, I'm more optimistic about you - Rogers is a good man! But you're better in all aspects! I can tell, Luke, you're a born warrior! You'll never go soft on the enemy!"

"At this point, Rogers is so far behind, he still has some kind of naïve idealism! It won't help to win the war!"

"The essence of war is destruction! It's violence! It's a means to gain benefits! Although we will say this is a war for justice and a battle for freedom, there's no good or evil in war!"

"Rogers doesn't understand this truth, yet. I hope you do!"

Luke was greatly surprised when he heard these words. He didn't expect the Colonel to see it quite clearly.

"What are you saying Colonel?"

However, Luke wanted to know Colonel's thoughts, so he acted ignorant.

"The politicians on the Committee can't be trusted! They're just a bunch of fucking assholes! That Hydra assassin got in thanks to Senator Brandt, and now he's trying to dump the blame on us!"

Colonel Phillips couldn't help but swear at the incident at the secret base. However, his mind eased a bit when he saw Luke's reassuring expression.

For young talents, who were motivated and capable, the older generation would always have the idea of nurturing and lifting them up - provided that they could demonstrate the values that matched them!

In the eyes of Colonel Phillips, Luke was such a young talent, who deserved to be nurtured!

That's why he said so many heartfelt words.

"Politicians are only interested in profit, they can be bought and they may even betray their country for profits! The Super Soldier program is now almost a failure, and their next problem is how to use you and Rogers to their advantage. "

Colonel Phillips, who had been in the army for over 20 years, knew the political world well.

"The President wanted an army, but now he only got two super soldiers. On the battlefield, an individual's ability will be infinitely reduced. Even if you can punch through steel plates and catch up with speeding cars, you can't stop the bombardment of shells, and you can't fly to Berlin and kidnap Hitler from his bedroom. "

Luke listened quietly, his eyes slightly flickered.

'If they gave me time, I could really do this on my own!'

Less than 20 hours after loading the Card, the enhancement brought by the Sun had already exceeded the sum of so many years of his persistent training.

Luke could feel that the trillions of cells in his body were hungry as they absorbed the rays of the sun.

"With so much research funding, only two strong soldiers were produced. To tell you the truth, the military is very disappointed and no longer interested in you. Unsurprisingly, your next fate would probably be staying in the lab and have your blood drawn, like guinea pigs. "

Colonel Philips paused, he changed his tone, "But I don't think so. Seeing your performance just now and your outstanding achievements in Camp Lehigh; Luke, I've decided to give you an even more important task. "

"Do you know the Howling Commandos? It's a special operations team made up of the best soldiers under the Strategic Science Reserve's banner!"

"I want you to lead this team and become their commander!"

Luke's expression of surprise was a genuine emotional reaction.

He did not expect that Colonel Philips' arrangement for him would be this.

'Leading the Howling Commandos?'

'Commander?'

'I wonder if I will meet Logan…?'
