Chapter 1626 General Ross Returns
After escaping the initial roundup, Dr. Lizard gradually realized how difficult Captain America was after several confrontations.

This hero in the Star-Spangled Uniform not only has incredible strength, but also possesses rich combat experience and an indomitable spirit.

Realizing that it would be difficult to win in a head-on confrontation, Dr. Lizard suddenly turned around, used his familiarity with New York City's sewer system, quickly found a hidden sewer entrance, and dived in.

Without any hesitation, he disappeared into the dark cave, leaving behind only a series of creepy echoes.

Captain America followed closely behind, his steps firm and swift, shield tightly gripped in hand, ready to deal with any danger that might arise.

However, New York City's sewer system was far more complicated than he had imagined.

This is a huge and intricate maze with crisscrossing pipes, sewage flowing everywhere, and a disgusting smell.

For those who are not familiar with this place, finding a way out is almost an impossible task.

Dr. Lizard obviously knows the terrain here very well.

He took advantage of his familiarity with the environment and after a few sharp turns, he completely escaped Captain America's pursuit.

Captain America ran hard in the narrow passage, but every time he came to a fork in the road, he could only rely on his intuition and faint clues to determine the direction in which Dr. Lizard might escape.

However, as time went on, he found it increasingly difficult to catch the trace of the cunning monster.

Finally, after a fruitless search, Captain America had to admit that he had lost his target. He stopped, panting, and felt frustrated.

But as a superhero, he knew that giving up was not an option.

So he picked up the communicator and reported his situation to Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Fury, I failed. I lost the lizard monster."

There was a hint of helplessness and self-blame in Captain America's voice.

Nick Fury, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., is known for his cool head and decisive decision-making.

He immediately responded: "I see, please come back first, I will send someone to search later. This is not your fault."

However, Captain America did not follow Nick Fury's orders.

The existence of Dr. Lizard poses a huge threat to the safety of the city, and I can't give up so easily.

He refused: "Fury, I can't go back like this. That monster is too dangerous. I must find him and stop him from doing evil."

Nick Fury wasn't surprised by Captain America's persistence.

After all, this is him, a superhero who always puts justice and responsibility first.

So, he made a new arrangement: "Okay, since you insist, I will send Agent Hawkeye to assist you. Although the lizard monster is cunning, you should be able to deal with it with your strength. Remember, safety first."

Hawkeye Agent, Clint Barton, is one of the best marksmen in S.H.I.E.L.D.

He is proficient in all kinds of bows and ranged weapons, and possesses extraordinary vision, reaction speed and accuracy.

The lizard monster was not a very difficult mutant creature to deal with, and it seemed to have intelligence, but that was all.

"Clint, go and assist Captain America in tracking down that lizard monster. He doesn't look that strong, so a gun should be enough to take him down. But remember, be careful and don't underestimate the enemy."

Nick Fury gave orders to Agent Hawkeye through the communicator. "Understood, Chief. I will proceed with caution."

Agent Hawkeye replied succinctly, and after receiving the order, Agent Hawkeye acted quickly and met Captain America at the entrance of the sewer.

After a brief exchange of information, the two stepped into this underground world full of unknowns and dangers together.

At the same time, in another secret military base, in the military command room, a huge electronic screen was playing real-time surveillance images of the outside world.

In the picture, a figure flexibly shuttles among the ruins of the city, and each jump is accompanied by amazing power and speed.

"Soldier Boy? Is this the new Captain America they're talking about?"

An officer pointed at the screen, his tone full of mockery and disdain.

In his opinion, this so-called "soldier boy" is just a character hyped up by the media. A true hero should have deeper connotations and more powerful strength.

General Ross, the senior military official who once lost power due to the Bronsky incident, now appears in people's sight in a new attitude.

General Ross, whose full name is Thaddeus E. Ross, was a heroic pilot during World War II and was known to the world by the nickname "Thunderbolt".

He continued his military career during the Korean War, rising through the ranks to lieutenant general thanks to his outstanding performance and leadership.

However, the Bronsky incident caused him to fall into the lowest point in his life.

During that incident, he was held hostage by Bronski (aka the Abomination) and absorbed an excessive amount of gamma radiation.

When everyone thought that General Ross would die or lie in bed forever, a miracle happened.

Not only did he not die, but he successfully obtained the power he had always dreamed of - the power of the Hulk!

But unlike Bruce Banner, General Ross did not lose control when he turned into the Hulk. Instead, he was able to maintain his sanity and clarity.

This change allowed General Ross to regain his status and even further.

Today, General Ross is no longer the lieutenant general who was held hostage by Bronski and lost everything.

His return attracted great attention from the top military officials.

They saw the potential in General Ross and his great role in future wars.

As a result, General Ross not only returned to the position of lieutenant general, but also went a step further and was awarded the rank of general.

This promotion is undoubtedly a great honor and affirmation for General Ross.

You know, this position is very rare in the US military.

General officers are senior military officers in the U.S. military, including five-star generals, admirals, lieutenant generals, major generals and brigadier generals.

A five-star general is the highest official military rank in the active U.S. military, equivalent to a marshal, but no one has received this honor since World War II.

Historically, only ten people, including Marshall, Eisenhower and MacArthur, have been awarded this rank. They all demonstrated extraordinary military talents and leadership during World War II.

The four-star general is the actual highest military rank in the active US military. It is usually awarded to officers in key positions such as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, service chiefs of staff and theater commanders. It is the highest position that a professional soldier can hold in the US military.
