Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1531 Compound A
Hearing the word "laboratory", Homelander's face froze slightly. That place was both the starting point of his power and the shadow in his heart that could never be erased.

But soon, he adjusted his mood and regained his usual calm and composure.

"I came here to ask you about someone."

Homelander got straight to the point. He knew that Wogelbaum's time was precious and his own patience was limited. "As the former chief scientist of Vought Corporation, you should know all about the superpowers under Vought."

Dr. Wogelbaum nodded, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. "I know most of the people with super powers, especially those with unique abilities. After all, I personally helped create many of them."

"This man is indeed very special."

Homelander said slowly, with an imperceptible heaviness in his tone, "He gave himself a name, Captain America."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Wogelbaum frowned slightly, as if searching his memory for the image corresponding to this name.

But obviously, this name did not leave a deep impression in his memory.

Seeing this, Homelander had to describe it in more detail: "He is physically as strong as I am, with strength... perhaps even greater. He possesses superhuman speed, agility, and endurance."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of bitterness in the motherland's tone.

He admitted that Captain America's power was far superior to his. It could not be summarized as "maybe a little bigger". It was an all-round and profound crushing, like a mountain to an ant. The gap was huge.

However, the pride of his motherland did not allow him to show any cowardice or retreat in front of Dr. Wogerbaum.

After all, he is Homelander, the superhero admired by the world and regarded as omnipotent. He is the pride of Vought Corporation, and his image cannot be tarnished in the slightest.

After hearing this description, Dr. Wogelbaum's eyes flashed with a hint of disbelief and surprise. Are they similar to the people in his motherland?

But Homelander was the most powerful person with super powers he knew.

Then he fell into deep thought.

He shook his head slowly, with a hint of uncertainty in his old voice: "As far as I can remember, there has never been a record of such a person with super powers. But this does not rule out his existence. After all, science is always advancing. Maybe after I retire, Water Company has indeed made new breakthroughs, and as a researcher far away from the front line, it is reasonable for me to know nothing about it."

Hearing this, Homelander couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he didn't give up.

He knew that although Dr. Wagbaum had retired, his influence in Water Company remained. Perhaps he could get some clues from Wagbaum through other channels. Even just a little bit would be enough for him to continue his investigation.

Homelander wants to improve so badly, and his life has changed drastically since being defeated by Captain America.

Whether he is attending public events, carrying out anti-crime missions, or participating in the filming of movies, there is always a shadow in his heart - he is afraid that at some inadvertent moment, Captain America will suddenly appear, defeat him in front of the whole world, and declare himself the true king of superheroes.

Whenever it was late at night and Homelander was alone, this fear would come like a tide, making it difficult for him to sleep.

In order to relieve the pressure, he had to take some extreme measures and ran to the roof of the Big Seven Building, where he was far away from the hustle and bustle and only had the night wind and the stars to accompany him.

There, he can temporarily forget his identity and responsibilities, letting the fear and anxiety in his heart gradually dissipate with every release.

However, this brief relief cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Instead, it makes him more eager to find Captain America and avenge his previous humiliation.

At the same time, the top management of Water Company was also paying close attention to the development of the situation.

Edgar, as the company's CEO, was shocked and excited by the appearance of Captain America and the powerful strength he showed. If this superhero could be recruited to join Vought Corporation, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the company's strength and influence.

More importantly, the fact that Captain America defeated Homelander made him see the possibility of balancing Homelander and preventing him from dominating the world.

To this end, Water Company began a quiet investigation.

They mobilized all available resources, from internal databases to external intelligence networks, to search for clues about Captain America.

They want to know who this mysterious superhero is.

Where do his super powers come from?

If Captain America could "go home", then all the problems we are facing now would no longer be problems.

But as they investigated, they discovered the details that Chang Wei had deliberately hidden.

Captain America is not a super-powered person produced by Vought Corporation, which is why Vought Corporation cannot find his files and information.

Captain America is a super-powered being born after undergoing human body modification.

The source of this human body modification is a company called "Supernova".

This company was very secretive, but it was still discovered by Water's connections and background.

"Supernova Corporation?"

When Edgar told Madeline this, Madeline was confused.

"That's right. This company has mastered the technology to produce people with super powers. That's how the super powers of the Black Seal Department and the Black Robe Patrol came from. They even recommended their military product, Compound A, to the military!"

Edgar's face looked extremely ugly. Compound No. A sounded very similar to their Compound No. 5.

He suspected that Compound No. 5 had leaked out from within Water Corporation.

However, there is no record of theft in the places where Compound No. 5 is researched and produced, and those places are guarded by retired super-powered people from Water Corporation. For example, "Lamplighter", one of the seven giants who is about to retire, will also go there to guard in the future.

Moreover, each synthetic raw material will only be produced after Edgar’s approval, so there is no possibility of leakage.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, compound A and compound No. 5 are completely different things.

"We must get this Compound A for research!"

Edgar said that Water Company did not launch Compound No. 5 as a product, and even kept it hidden, announcing to the outside world that all people with super powers have powers given by God.

Now that Compound A has emerged, it’s hard not to think of them.

"I see." Madeline nodded.
