American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 134 Captain Carter

More than an hour later.

Roy and Peggy, who had become a superhuman, returned to the military camp.

Peggy didn't initially believe that the enhancement serum would make her stronger than Rogers after his transformation.

After arriving in the forest outside the military camp, at Roy's suggestion, she did a simple test of her current physical attributes.

Then, she was terrified.

She never imagined that she could uproot a tree weighing several tons without any effort.

She never imagined that she could run faster than a car and jump several meters high with a light leap.

After Peggy finished testing her physical attributes and had a general understanding of her current strength, Roy took out the ten rings from the system space and began to teach her how to use them.

As an agent, Peggy had received extensive training in combat and shooting.

Although the bullseye was completely different from the weapon she had used before, she quickly mastered its use under Roy's guidance.

Peggy spent just over ten minutes testing her physical attributes and learning how to use the ten-ring.

With the remaining hour or so still filled with excitement and joy, she took the initiative to challenge Roy to a "duel".

Roy, of course, wouldn't refuse, and he and Peggy engaged in a fierce, close-quarters fight in the forest.

Normally, Peggy would never play along with Roy's antics, let alone take the initiative to invite him.

But today, she doesn't mind doing some crazy things that she would never normally do.

Back at the barracks, Roy first took Peggy back to her barracks, then went alone to Howard's studio.

The Strategic Science Legion has many scientists and technicians.

But only two of them are actually useful.

One is Howard, and the other is Dr. Erskine.

With Dr. Erskine dead, Howard became the undisputed chief scientist of the Strategic Scientific Corps.

Roy is now going to find Howard with a simple goal: to find out if Howard has managed to get the vibranium shield working.

The movie doesn't explain in detail when Howard created the vibranium shield; it only states that Rogers obtained it from Howard after rescuing Bucky and the others.

Not long after, Roy arrived at Howard's studio.

It's called a studio, but it's actually just a giant warehouse.

Inside the studio, besides Howard, there were dozens of technicians wearing white coats.

Roy went straight up to Howard and said, "I need some equipment."

"No problem, the colonel has already told me to fully cooperate with you," Howard said as he walked, leading Roy to a long table.

There were many things on the table.

Pistols, rifles, grenades, daggers, bulletproof vests, and more—they have it all.

Just as Howard was about to introduce the modified equipment on the table to Roy, Roy continued, "That's not the equipment I want."

"Then what do you want?" Howard looked at Roy, puzzled.

"A shield, I need a shield," Roy replied.

A shield?

Howard frowned slightly.

We live in the age of firearms, and shields are not standard military equipment.

Although some soldiers would bring shields to the battlefield, their numbers were negligible.

"What kind of shield do you want? I can make several according to your requirements," Howard said slowly.

"No need for that. Just choose from the shields you already have," Roy replied.

Howard thought for a moment, remembered something, and continued, "Wait for me."

After saying that, without waiting for Roy's reply, Howard went to a nearby box and took out a round object that shone with a silvery-white luster.

Vibranium Shield!

The round object Howard took out of the box was none other than the vibranium shield.

After taking out the vibranium shield, he returned to Roy and handed it to him: "This is the only half-finished product I have right now."

Taking the vibranium shield and feeling its weight, Roy, knowing the answer already, asked Howard, "What material is this made of?"

Howard replied, "Vibranium, a special metal that is far stronger than steel but weighs only one-third as much."

"

"It can absorb kinetic energy, rendering attacks such as bullets and shells ineffective."

Wearing the vibranium shield on his left hand, Roy casually waved it around and said with a smile, "I'll take this one."

With the vibranium shield, Peggy has been transformed into Captain Carter; all that's left is the final uniform.

The vibranium shield is for defense, and the ten rings are for offense!

With the added enhancements from the performance-enhancing drugs, Peggy's strength would surpass that of the real Captain Carter.

Roy took the vibranium shield and placed it on the table.

He then took a design sketch out of his pocket and handed it to Howard.

"Paint the shield according to the design drawings, and make a combat suit like the one in the drawings while you're at it."

Howard took the design drawings, glanced at them, and frowned, saying, "Is this combat suit a women's version?"

"Yes, the women's version." Roy nodded.

"Are you planning to go to the battlefield wearing a women's combat suit?" Howard continued to ask.

Roy shook his head and immediately replied, "Of course not, this combat suit is for Peggy."

"Peggy joined the commando team too?" Howard looked at Roy with surprise.

"I don't plan to form a commando team; at most, I'll just take Peggy to the battlefield," Roy replied.

Although he didn't know why Howard only wanted to take Peggy to the battlefield, he didn't ask further and slowly said, "Painting the shields is simple, but the combat suits will take some time to manufacture."

"No problem, just make sure it's done before you leave."

three days later.

Roy and Peggy followed the main force to France, which had already fallen.

Knowing that Roy had no intention of forming a commando team and was only willing to take Peggy to the battlefield, Colonel Philip immediately approached him, trying to persuade him to change his mind.

Colonel Philip knew he was a superhuman, but he didn't know the specifics of his abilities.

In Colonel Philip's view, even if Roy was a superhuman, one person's strength is limited and he cannot play his due role on the battlefield.

The result was obvious: he failed to persuade Roy.

After discovering that Roy was unresponsive, Colonel Philip tried a different approach.

Since we can't convince Roy, let's try to convince Peggy.

Although she had become a superhuman, Peggy was not Roy after all, and was quickly persuaded by Colonel Philip.

Under Colonel Philip's arrangement, a commando team led by Peggy was formed.

The commando team was small.

There were only seven people in total, including Peggy.

Colonel Philip did not require Roy to join Peggy's commando team, leaving the choice to Roy.

Although it wasn't mandatory, he knew that Roy would definitely join in order to ensure Peggy's safety.

As a middle-aged man with rich experience, he could tell at a glance that Roy and Peggy's relationship was no longer that of ordinary colleagues.

Roy could tell at a glance that Colonel Philip was playing a game of feigned retreat.

Although it wasn't what he had planned, he eventually joined the commando team led by Peggy.

He didn't care whether the other members of the commando team would die on the battlefield.

But he didn't want to receive news of Peggy's death.

As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Even if she becomes a superhuman, Peggy is still made of flesh and blood. If she is shot in the head and heart, she will still die.
