The Super Soldier Program

Chapter 5: The Super Soldier Program

Inside the underground office of the training base's highest-ranking official.

Kyle Dove's Personal File:

Male, Age 22, Height 178cm, 68kg.

Born in 1921, hometown located at 199 Highland Street, Brooklyn, New York, USA.

Current Family Status: Single. Both parents were American soldiers who died honorably in a secret war in 1935, posthumously declared martyrs.

Passed physical examination at the World Expo recruitment center this year, becoming a recruit for the Super Soldier selection and entering base training.

On the first day of recruit training, he competed in marksmanship with Captain Brant and won perfectly with his superb pistol shooting skills.

On the second day of recruit training, he sparred in close combat with Captain Joseph and lost due to exhaustion. However, three days later, they dueled again, and Kyle won decisively.

On the third day of recruit training...

Agent Carter recommended him as a top candidate for the Super Soldier program.

Captain Brant recommended him as a top candidate for the Super Soldier program.

Captain Joseph recommended him as a top candidate for the Super Soldier program.

At the very bottom of Kyle's file, the signatures of the three officials responsible for the Super Soldier program selection and assessment were attached.

"I didn't expect that after only six days, with the review and selection process originally scheduled for a week, three or more officials would jointly recommend a soldier." The imposing, tall middle-aged man put down the file in his hands. The general's uniform and four-star rank indicated his extraordinary status.

"To be honest, I still don't like Soldier Kyle," Captain Brant said, pursing his lips and sighing. "But I have to admit, he truly possesses all the talent and ability of a soldier."

Captain Joseph nodded in agreement and sighed, "Indeed. After only five or six days of training, he possesses qualities that rival those of top special forces soldiers. General Chester, if you hadn't reminded me that the Super Soldier serum hasn't undergone final testing, I would have thought Kyle was the Super Soldier produced by the secret experiment."

"If the Super Soldier serum proves effective on him, then he might be the most versatile and perfect soldier in American history," Agent Carter stated coolly.

"To correct that, not just American, but worldwide!" Captain Joseph affirmed.

After the three in the underground office finished speaking, General Chester's gaze fell upon an old doctor wearing glasses, and he asked, "Dr. Abraham Erskine, what do you think? After all, the Super Soldier serum was researched and created by you. You should also have a say in the selection of the first test subject."

"Soldier Kyle, his physical and mental fortitude are indeed very good," Dr. Abraham replied slowly. Finally, steeling himself, he spoke his mind, "However, I believe Soldier Steve would be more suitable. His willpower and sense of justice are necessities for a perfect soldier."

Steve was originally his favored candidate for Super Soldier, but the sudden emergence of Kyle was too outstanding, almost overshadowing all the other new recruits at the training base.

"Three to one, then." General Chester tapped his fingers on the desk and asked the last man in the office, "Howard Stark, as the scientific strategy lead for the Super Soldier program, do you have anything to say?"

Howard, dressed in a gentlemanly suit, shrugged and smiled, "I'm only responsible for the scientific strategy aspects of the project. Selecting soldiers is your job. I have no opinion on who you choose."

General Chester pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, have someone approach Soldier Kyle first, let him understand the Super Soldier project, and see his thoughts and willingness."

"I'll go," Carter, who had been silent, suddenly interjected.

"Alright, you go then." General Chester nodded and said sternly, "Tomorrow, prepare for the final Super Soldier experiment!"

In the recruit barracks.

Kyle had just finished showering. His scattered blond hair was still dripping with water. Wearing only shorts and shirtless, he stood in front of the mirror.

His features, chiseled as if by a sculptor, were handsome and radiant. Most importantly, his physique was strong and upright, his abdominal muscles sculpted like steel.

"A body enhanced by over ten Green Ability Cards for physique and skills. Is this the result?" Kyle looked at his strong physique, like a work of art in the mirror, with great satisfaction. He was certain that his strength, speed, and physique were now on par with, if not superior to, those of long-term special forces soldiers.

Furthermore, he hadn't been idle these past few days. Besides the physique-related ability cards, he had also drawn all the other white and green ability cards without hesitation. Now, he had thirty-six Green Ability Cards for various professional skills, and over four hundred white ability cards!

This was what people called genius and versatility.

"It's been almost a week since my rebirth. According to the progress of Captain America: The First Avenger, the Super Soldier experiment should be starting soon." As Kyle was contemplating this, he heard a snap as the dormitory door was opened.

"Steve?" Kyle asked, stepping out of the bathroom, his expression surprised when he saw the beautiful person entering the dormitory. "Agent Carter? Did you come to the wrong place? This is the recruit dormitory."

Indeed. Agent Carter was the one who walked into the dormitory. Her usual fitted military dress outlined her mature figure breathtakingly. Holding a document in one hand, she stopped in the dormitory's common area with clean, decisive steps.

"I didn't come to the wrong place. I came specifically to find you." Carter frowned slightly and asked coldly, "Isn't it time for collective recruit training at this hour? Why are you showering in the dormitory?"

"Haha. This is just a small privilege for breaking the single-soldier record at the training base." Kyle chuckled, not bothering to put on his shirt, just draping a towel over his shoulders to cover himself. "I don't have anything to offer you here, so please, Agent Carter, make yourself comfortable and find a place to sit."

Carter maintained her cool and detached demeanor. She scanned the dormitory, finding no chairs. Finally, she chose to sit on the edge of a bunk.

"Go ahead, what do you need from a recruit like me?" Kyle didn't stand on ceremony, wiping his wet hair with the towel. He moved closer and sat on the other side of the bunk. The single bed meant they were less than a meter apart.

"Why are you sitting so close?" Carter looked at him indifferently. Kyle shrugged and said, "This is my bed. It's normal for me to sit on my own bed."

Carter: "..." She hadn't expected that by choosing randomly, she had inadvertently sat on Kyle's bed.

Kyle maintained his smile. He had his reasons for sitting so close; after all, Carter possessed nearly ten Green Ability Cards that he didn't have.

Chatting with a beauty by his side and drawing cards casually was much more enjoyable than the past few days.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. How much do you know about Super Soldiers?" Carter asked, her legs pressed together.

"Super Soldiers?" Kyle feigned surprise and replied, "I only know that our batch of recruits was initially selected for the Super Soldier project. I don't know much else."

"Let me explain. The Super Soldier project is something Dr. Abraham researched. It's an experiment where a serum is injected into the human body to stimulate cell vitality, thereby transforming the human physique from the inside out. Theoretically, it can perfectly enhance a person's physical abilities by more than three times! Creating super-soldier combat power far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers." Carter explained eloquently, "The training officers should have already told you recruits that within this week, the first person to participate in the Super Soldier experiment will be selected."

"I know," Kyle nodded, but seemed a little distracted. He smiled and said, "So, you've chosen me?"

"I haven't made the final decision yet, I just wanted to ask about your willingness," Agent Carter said, her gaze briefly sweeping over the chiseled abs Kyle revealed before quickly looking away.

"Super Soldier experiment?" Kyle murmured, resting his chin on his hand as he pondered.

In the movies, Steve was chosen as the very first pioneer for the Super Soldier experiment, gaining the perfect human physique and becoming Captain America.

And the Super Soldier serum was stolen by a Hydra spy the moment Steve succeeded. Ultimately, the serum was destroyed, the doctor was killed, and the Super Soldier could no longer be replicated.

Now, due to his own outstanding performance, could he replace Steve as the first person in the Super Soldier experiment—

Kyle narrowed his eyes, looking at Agent Carter nearby, and with a decisive smile said, "I'm sorry, but I must decline the offer to be the pioneer of this Super Soldier Program."
