In fact, after Captain America found out that the enemy was Hydra, and that the target was likely to be him, he did not hesitate too much.
"Please let me join the battle!" Rogers asked Shen He.
"Mr. Rogers." Shen He looked at him seriously, "You know what that requires, the reason for fighting, the identity of fighting."
"Mr. Shen, they are Hydra." Rogers found the answer this time, "I am familiar with them, I can also help you deal with them, I can reduce your sacrifice, isn't that enough reason to fight?"
For Captain America, everything may change, but there is only one thing that is certain, that is, he must not show weakness to the enemy, otherwise it will be the enemy's victory, so he still can't let himself hide behind.
"What about the identity of fighting?" Shen He continued to ask.
"I can join you." Rogers answered without hesitation, "I have retired, I know that many veterans will join mercenary companies after retirement, as long as you are fighting to protect civilians, then I can be your soldier."
He has this confidence, and he also believes that no mercenary company will refuse him to join.
However, contrary to Captain America's expectations, Shen He shook his head without even a little hesitation, "Mr. Rogers, I appreciate your appreciation, but we can't let you join now."
"Why?" Rogers couldn't understand at all.
But Shen He didn't reply, he just frowned and looked up at the sky.
"The army is coming."
As soon as the voice fell, Rogers also heard the sound of the plane engine.
Several familiar American fighters appeared in the sky and circled at low altitude.
It seems that the battle is about to end, Rogers thought so.
However, Shen He took a deep breath, "Everyone, be prepared to break through! This will be a real fierce battle!"
"What?" Rogers thought he had heard it wrong.
But he soon knew the answer. The American fighters above began to drop bombs, and violent fireballs exploded on the golden halo. Even when the fully armed army broke through the wall and rushed in, the muzzles of the guns ignored the Hydra troops and aimed at them defending the hospital building, attacking frantically.
Jeanne's body shook slightly, and a look of difficulty appeared on her face.
Rogers was stunned by such a change.
"We can't protect civilians if we give them weapons." Shen He threw a machine gun to Rogers. "Why, you don't understand?"
Rogers held the weapon in his hand and looked at the enemy in front of him wearing the uniform of an American soldier. All he could do was ask Shen He: "Why?"
"Times have changed, Mr. Rogers." Shen He raised his hand to load the gun. "Your war was a black and white era, but the world today is gray with different shades. There is no place where there is absolute justice... We found out a month ago that a senior official of the US government is the leader of Hydra. We don't know how many spies there are in the government, let alone how many officials have joined them. So, can you fight these American soldiers who are just following orders?"
After Shen He finished speaking, he strode to the front, raised the machine gun in his hand and fired wildly. One after another, American soldiers fell down in his muzzle.
The changes in the world over the past 70 years have allowed the monster called reality to devour the innocent and just world, and Captain America has been abandoned outside of this change.
Until this time, Rogers finally understood why Shen He had been emphasizing that they were not soldiers and did not need soldiers.
"Captain..."
A voice suddenly appeared beside Rogers.
He turned around and found that it was his fan Coulson.
"Captain." Coulson also held a weapon in his hand. He looked at Rogers with sincerity and trust, "You can lead us to victory, right?"
"...Of course!"
Rogers took a deep breath and no longer hesitated!
Even if he no longer fights for the US government, even if he is no longer Captain America, he is still the thin young man who wants to help others.
And now, there are a group of people around him who need his help.
"Mr. Shen, the attack force at three o'clock is the weakest. We need an elite force to tear open a gap!" The gun in Rogers' hand also sprayed bullets, "Also, can you give me a shield?"
"Give it to him." Shen He waved his hand to the back, "Are you ready to face this gray world?" "
I don't know." Rogers was still accurately harvesting the lives of the enemies, "But I know who to fight for."
"Even if this will make you a war criminal and be accused of treason by the country you love and have devoted your life to?"
"As long as it can protect the people!" Rogers held the new shield, he was ready to charge.
"Then, lead them out, and you will pass the test of Chaldea." Shen He pushed hard.
"Test?"
Rogers didn't understand the meaning of this last word, but the situation did not allow him to think.
He led his comrades, holding up the shield, guarding the civilians and charging in the hail of bullets! Only when fighting, he would not have the slightest hesitation and weakness in his heart, because he could not let the enemy in front of him win!
Command, defense, fighting, dodging...
All of this is very familiar to Rogers. Captain America, who was once a powerful figure on the battlefield, is back on the battlefield.
Finally, he successfully tore a hole in the enemy.
When Rogers stepped out of the wall.
——The world changed.
In just a moment, all the gunshots, artillery fire, shouting, and even the smell of burnt meat in the air and the iron smell of blood flowing under the soles of the shoes disappeared.
His surroundings turned into a peaceful and tranquil lake. The weapons in his hands and the clothes on his body all changed. He turned around blankly and found Shen He and Coulson behind him.
There was also a bald black man with an eye mask.
"Very exciting, Mr. Rogers." Shen He clapped his hands and walked up.
"This, this is..." Rogers is really confused now, and his heart is also confused.
"This is virtual reality."
Shen He waved his hand gently, and the front of several people was suddenly surrounded by a huge light screen, which slowly played the development of the real world in the past 70 years.
In the end, the picture was frozen in the virtual reality company. Rogers saw himself lying on a cabin bed, and the three people in front of him were the same.
"So..." Rogers looked at the explanation of virtual reality in the subtitles, "Everything just now was all fake? Just a test?"
"No, except that the world is fake, everything else is real." Shen He waved his hand again, and new information appeared on the light screen, "It's all true about us Chaldea, about Hydra, and about your own choice. Even Coulson is indeed your number one fan."
