8 Chapter 8

During this time, Shen used the equipment of the base to test his own abilities. After harnessing every last bit of his potential when the plane he was on crashed, Shen's physical fitness improved again, which is now close to the limit of human beings.

He could now lift 500kg easily, he could run a hundred meters in 9.1 seconds, and can keep this up for a long time. His burst speed can reach 19 meters per second. He can jump three meters high and six meters away without help. Stamina and recovery speed are four times that of ordinary people.

In terms of reaction speed, Shen can even see a bullet's trajectory. Although he can't completely evade due to his current physical fitness, he could at least make sure that it won't hit his vitals.

Although Shen's ability does not exceed the human limit, his current abilities are already amazing, coupled with his high comprehension would make sure that he could at least protect himself from mundane threats not to mention the possibility of crossing the limit in the future.

Shen's current strength is slightly weaker than Captain America. If he were to crash in the sea like captain America he would probably survive since in the movie, the captain survived his crash landing.

However, Shen was still very dissatisfied. The crash in the movie was a forced landing in the snow. The entire aircraft body was complete so it at least offered a bit of protection, but the situation that he had to face was much more dangerous. he needs more powerful strength to ensure that he can survive in even worse conditions.

So the Super Soldier Serum is what Shen needs now.

According to the original plot, Hydra's high level agent lurking in the United States was intercepted by the newly enhanced Captain America when he fled with the serum. The operation failed to bring back the serum, and even managed to kill off the serum inventor Dr. Abraham Erskine. After the doctor died no one ever managed to recreate his invention ensuring that captain America is the only super soldier of the US.

After this period of organizational adjustment and personnel transfer, Hydra has been basically controlled by Shen, and all construction and research have been on the right track.

In order to get his plans in motion and secure the super soldier formula, Shen decided to go out in person.

However, he still has work to do before he's ready to go. In order to prevent Hydra from going down the same route, Shen spent several months strengthening his control over Hydra. He disposed of many people who would get in his way, and he sent those who are having second thoughts to the bases that the captain would raid in the future, of course, except for Shen, no one knows that the hydra bases throughout Europe will be abandoned.

Those who stayed in Norway were all loyal and worshiped him. When Shen tested his own abilities, the soldiers on guard witnessed Shen's superhuman ability. Shen could feel that after that, a group of Hydra soldiers looked at him with even more worship.

At this point, under the cleansing and rectification of Shen, Hydra was now fully under his control.

During this time, Shen himself was not idle. There were many weapons gadgets in the Hydra base. Shen used his free time to practice his marksmanship. He practiced using pistols, assault rifles and sniper rifles. With his abilities he learned extremely fast.

After a period of practice, He is now a master marksman, his skill is not any less than the best marksman in the military.

Shen focused on pistols, because of their usefulness in almost any situation whether in close combat or sneak attacks, the pistol is more flexible and practical, it is easily concealable and reloading is easy.

He mainly used his m1911 pistol that he liberated from his time in New York is very easy to use, powerful, and stable in performance. With Shen's skill, he could accurately hit a moving target from 50 meters away.

Therefore, in addition to throwing knives, his space has a pile of firearms and other gadgets.

He did not forget his throwing skills since during assassinations, throwing knives can be used much better than a pistol, and not only throwing knives, forks, chopsticks, pens, coins or even a tree branch can become a murder weapon in his hands.

With the improvement of strength, the original throwing knife was too light for him. After the space expansion, there was no need to consider the size. Shen made a batch of new throwing knives made of special alloy, which was 25 cm long and 3 cm wide with a thickness of 5 mm and a weight of 200 grams. Whether it is throwing or used as a dagger, is more convenient than his original throwing knife. Shen, who is very satisfied with his new throwing knife, made hundreds of them and put them in the space together with the firearms. (AN: he uses his ability to send a knife flying from inside his space. ill just call it throwing knife. just keep in mind that he's launching it using his ability...i think.)

He also sent people to investigate the sword that he acquired. The intelligence department has inquired about a large amount of historical data. After comparing the research, it is concluded that this sword is likely to be the legendary sword of king Arthur, the sword of the king. the only unfortunate thing is that it's broken.

Legend has it that King Arthur's first sword, the sword from the stone, was broken during a battle and later acquired another from the lady of the lake.

This sword is very consistent with the descriptions in the history books in terms of style, pattern and characteristics. It is very likely that this is the very same sword from the stone that broke and somehow fell into the hands of the Norwegian royal family.

Now this legendary sword of the king has fallen into the hands of Shen. It could cut steel like it was butter without even a single blemish in the sword.

Dr. Zola studied its material and concluded that it wasn't made of anything from earth. The material is probably from a meteorite that fell in a lake that Merlin later found and forged it into a sword. The hardness and toughness of the sword are very high, far exceeding all the current alloys. Shen speculates that this is likely to be a special metal similar to Vibranium, and possibly even stronger.

In short, Shen liked the unexpected harvest that is the king's sword. It was very easy to use. In addition to the flying knife, Shen's weapon library had another cold weapon.

September 1942

Brooklyn, New York

Pedestrians on the streets in the morning suddenly found that there was a new Chinese martial arts school in the buildings on the roadside.

Martial arts schools aren't exactly new in this part of New York, but this newly opened martial arts hall, attracted many people's attention, curiosity, maliciousness and greed.

This is a three-storey building with a large area and close to the street. It is worth a lot of money. Now the whole building has been transformed into a martial arts hall, which shows that the owner has a strong financial strength. In Brooklyn, everyone knows that the Chinese are fat sheep.

At this time in the martial arts hall, Shen is practicing in a practice room with several brawny men.

They have the skills and have the numerical advantage against Shen, but they were still the ones being pressured by him. The gap in their physical prowess is just too big.

As Shen blocked an opponent's punch aimed at his abdomen, he punched him to the ground knocking his opponent unconscious.

Except for Shen, no one was left standing.
