Marvel's Superman-Chapter 8 - 008 | Saving Dr. Erskine

*Bang!*

As soon as the gun was fired, the crowd at the conscription station immediately fell into chaos. With panic-stricken screams, they started to run in all directions, trying no to get hit by any bullets. ??

Those recruits who had yet to be enlisted suddenly ran away like ants, with no clue what's happening what-so-ever.

They had never been to a battlefield, nor had they received any formal training, so have no idea what to do.

The security guard at the gate fell on the ground as blood gurgled out of the bullet hole in the white hat on his head.

"Keep quiet."

Luke, who was hiding at the side, pulled the fallen Dr. Erskine up from the ground and ran towards the hallway.

Bullets kept on raining from behind, hitting walls and creating debris and dust throughout the hall.

Luke looked out for Rogers and found him hiding behind a table with his hands covering his head. He held Dr. Erskine and ran towards Rogers.

Suddenly Luke couldn't help but come up with a strange thought, 'If the future Captain America dies, in which direction will the future lead to?'

Will there be a new hero?

Or will the Germans win and the Red Skull conquers the world?

……

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

The gunshot interrupted Luke's thoughts.

He looked at the nervous Dr. Erskine, and whispered: "You stay here! Don't go anywhere!"

In the hallway, the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard.

Under the table, Luke slowly emerged. He took out the Colt M1911 from his waist, took a deep breath, and rushed out towards the hallway.

**Five minutes earlier**

Outside the Conscription Station.

"You lost Dr. Erskine? German spies are most likely hiding in the city, trying to capture and kill Dr. Erskine! Don't you understand how important he is? Start searching for him."

A female officer was reprimanding the security guards with an ice-cold expression.

The security guards in plain clothes nodded repeatedly, trying to suppress the dismissive look in their eyes.

This is a tempestuous era and the status of women had not been taken seriously.

Most people still held the idea that women should stay at home as wives and do housework. There was no need to go outside.

Even if the stern and cold female officer in front of them was their superior, the respect in their eyes of security guards was merely perfunctory.

"We were separated from him. There were too many people at the Expo gate. Who knows where the old German man went." One of the security guards defended themselves.

"He is called Dr. Abraham Erskine!" The female officer corrected.

"This cannot change the fact that he and Hitler are from the same country." Another security guard retorted with a sneering expression.

Due to the deliberate propaganda by the government, the public had a deep hatred for the Germans.

Even if Abraham Erskine was now with the Allied Powers, the prejudices against him just couldn't be stopped.

*Bang!*

Just then they heard a clear gunshot from the nearby Conscription Station.

A suppressed scream from pain could be faintly heard as soon as the gunshot was fired. And soon people rushed out of the building.

Her expression turned pale, giving the security guards a cold look, she quickly moved towards the noise.

**Three minutes later.**

The female officer rushed to the conscription station followed by a team of fully equipped soldiers.

They found several cold corpses on the ground and the pungent smell of blood everywhere in the hall.

"Doctor!"

The female officer finally had a sigh of relief when she saw Dr. Erskine safe and sound.

He was now in the highest-level protection list of the military and was also a major concern for the Germans.

Everyone now understood the value of the Super Soldier serum created by Dr. Abraham Erskine.

It could end this war!

The delicate balance between both sides would change and then it would turn into a one-sided massacre.

In the end, the whole future can be influenced!

"These people…should be spies they sent." Dr. Erskine who had now recovered from the panic, said calmly, "It seems that Schmidt really doesn't want me to live anymore." 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

The female officer nodded her head in agreement.

Then, she swept her eyes at the two young men next to Dr. Erskine. There was clear alertness in her glance.

"Fortunately this guy saved me." Then turning towards one of the men beside him, he said, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

He saw Luke alone get rid of the three spies who came here to assassinate him, and though he was one of the security guards sent by the government to protect him.

But judging from the alert eyes of the female officer, this man was not from the government.

"My name is Luke. Luke Cavill."
