"So..." Rogers looked up, "We won?"
"Yes." Shen He nodded, "Although I'm not an American, as far as the war results are concerned, all anti-Fascist countries in the world have won... How do you feel now? I mean mentally, are you dizzy, nauseous, or have any other discomfort?"
"I'm fine." Rogers shook his head slightly.
His qualities as a soldier made him wake up quickly from his long coma, but waking up in a strange place still made him feel uncomfortable.
"In that case, then come with me and do some simple tests." Shen He smiled and pointed to the door. "After making sure everything is fine, you can be discharged from the hospital."
"Okay." Rogers stood up, "Thank you."
Outside the door was a corridor, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Many nurses could be seen walking around, with people of all skin colors.
"We are an international private enterprise called Chaldea. You may not have heard of it, but we are very strong." Shen He walked in front and led the way. "Originally, we were commissioned to search for the remains of the hero, but when we unexpectedly found that you were still alive, many people were very happy, especially your fans, so we decided to bear all your medical expenses and treat you for free."
"Thank you..."
Rogers followed Shen He out of the building and found that it seemed to be a large unit with many buildings within the wall.
In front of the building was the gate of the wall. There was a lot of traffic outside the gate. It looked similar to the New York he knew. There were also many people holding signs and crowding outside the door. After seeing him, they suddenly became excited and noisy.
"Those are your fans." Shen He seemed helpless. "There are many people crowding there almost every day. To be honest, it is not safe and will disturb other patients, so we only allow representatives of them to come in. Look, he is here, you should say a few words to him."
As Shen He said, a middle-aged man wearing a shirt with the Captain America logo came over, looking excited.
"Hello, Captain, I'm Coulson." Coulson held Rogers' hand tightly, "I really didn't expect to meet you on such an occasion. Can I hug you? To thank you for everything you have done for this country and for us."
"Of course, thank you for not letting you down."
Although Rogers was a little uncomfortable, he still hugged Coulson.
"You will never let us down." Coulson looked very satisfied.
"Okay, Coulson, you will see your idol discharged from the hospital soon." Shen He blinked at Coulson, "Mr. Rogers, come this way."
"......Um, doctor?"
Rogers followed two steps and walked to Shen He, not knowing how to address him for a while.
"Shen He, a Chinese, I am in charge of the company's branch in the United States. If you find it difficult to pronounce, you can call me Shen or He." Shen He briefly introduced himself.
"Okay, Mr. Shen... I wonder if I can contact some people?" Rogers looked a little nervous, "I have a date."
Shen He stopped, turned his head to look at him, and suddenly sighed, "If you mean Ms. Carter... she is married."
"..."
Rogers seemed shocked by the sudden news, opened his mouth, and couldn't say anything.
"I heard about your story, it's very touching." Shen He reached out and patted Rogers' shoulder, "But you can't blame her, because all of us thought you had died in the war, and Ms. Carter took a long time to recover from the grief. In fact, we didn't tell her that you were still alive. She was not in good health recently."
"I, I just..."
Rogers took a few steps back, and his mind suddenly became a mess.
"Are you okay, Mr. Rogers?" Shen He looked at him with concern.
"I'm fine... Let's go for the test."
Rogers began to realize that he might have saved a life, but he also lost a lot of things, many things that were very important to him.
"After you are discharged from the hospital, you can decide whether to go to see her or not."
Shen He nodded slightly and came to another building. On the thick door was a sign of a crescent moon wrapped in straw. From time to time, gunshots were heard from inside, which made Rogers recover from his memories and even become a little alert.
"This is a training ground in Chaldea." Shen He pushed open the door.
Just as he said, there was a huge training ground inside, where many people practiced shooting, fighting, and various weapons.
Rogers looked at these people and found that what they were training was real killing skills, not just physical exercise or interest.
"War...isn't it over?" Rogers smelled the breath of war from the cold eyes of these people.
"For ordinary people, it is indeed true." Shen He nodded, then shook his head, "Most countries and regions in the world have entered a period of peace, but although the war is over, the fighting continues. There will always be some people in this world who try to destroy this hard-earned peace. They hide in the dark corners of the world. Our main job in Chaldea is to find and deal with them."
"So, you are actually mercenaries?" Rogers looked around, "Are they all soldiers?"
"No one here is a soldier, Mr. Rogers." Shen He smiled and handed over two gloves, "You are not either, you have retired. In fact, the full name of our company is Human Resources Security Agency, so we prefer the name of Guardian... Have you thought about it? What are you going to do in the future? I mean, the life of an ordinary person after retirement."
“......”罗杰斯接过拳套，似乎是被这个问题问住了，最后还是摇了摇头，“我不知道。”
以前的罗杰斯，只不过是在爱国情怀和想要帮助别人的驱动下，参与战争，所需要做的事情也很简单，只需要挥舞着拳头和盾牌猛揍敌人就行了，而现在，战争结束，曾经的恋人卡特也已经嫁人，甚至最好的战友已经牺牲，他不知道自己还有什么能做的。
“好吧，其实普通人的日子也没有什么不好，更何况你还是个英雄，享有荣誉和人们的尊敬。”沈河耸耸肩，“那么，开始测试吧。”
轰——！
就是在话音刚落下的一瞬间，巨大的声响和震动吞噬了他们。
"Highest alert! Highest alert! Enemy invasion! Enemy invasion! Everyone, get your weapons and equipment, fight back freely!" A cold female voice spread from the radio to every corner.
Everyone around immediately found their own tasks and ran in an orderly manner. The wall of the training ground suddenly opened, revealing all kinds of weapons neatly arranged inside. In an instant, the dense sound of loading guns filled the entire training ground.
