The surface of the ice cave that Chen Mo had dug out was completely restored. There was no difference at all.
The seawater below the ice cave would soon freeze again and merge with the surrounding ice. By then, it would be no different from before.
After dozens of minutes, the aircraft finally erased all traces left by Chen Mo. It flew back to Chen Mo and hovered quietly in the air in front of the pilot's seat.
Chen Mo clicked on the screen and issued the last command. Then, he put the tablet into the space.
Then, Chen Mo adjusted his sitting position and leaned his body completely against the back of the seat, pretending to be unconscious.
The aircraft hovering in front of Chen Mo first extended a scanning device and emitted a red light net to scan Chen Mo and the seat. Then, it extended a slender mechanical arm and began to spray cold air onto Chen Mo.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Mo and the seat were wrapped in a thick layer of ice. They had completely merged with the surrounding environment. It looked like they had been frozen there for 70 years.
After completing the camouflage mission, the aircraft retracted its mechanical arm and slowly landed on Chen Mo's arm. As soon as they touched, the aircraft disappeared into the air in a flash. The entire control room was restored to its original appearance. However, there was an additional frozen figure in the pilot's seat.
Chen Mo lay quietly in the ice, motionless. He seemed to have lost his life, but he was still conscious.
When the aircraft began to camouflage him and create a layer of ice on the surface of his body, Chen Mo was secretly controlling his body to adjust.
All the muscles in his body began to relax. Slowly, they became completely relaxed. The activity of all the organs and tissues began to weaken.
His breathing became slower and weaker. It became almost indiscernible. His heartbeat also began to slow down. It went from dozens of beats per minute to only a few beats per minute. The speed of his blood flow also slowed down.
Under Chen Mo's control, his body's functions were reduced to the lowest level. The metabolism of his cells was extremely slow, just enough to maintain the most basic cell consumption. All the cells in his body began to become extremely inactive.
After Chen Mo's metabolism slowed down, the heat produced by his body decreased sharply. He was in the middle of a glacier. The temperature was extremely low, minus ten degrees Celsius.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Mo's strong body and vigorous metabolism were enough to maintain sufficient heat. He was not affected by the low temperature at all.
However, he actively controlled his body to lower its activity. The cold air from the outside world began to invade his body through his skin.
Chen Mo did not stop it. Instead, he allowed it to happen. Under the invasion of the cold air, Chen Mo's already extremely inactive cells completely entered a dormant state. All the cell activity and energy consumption stopped.
This process started from the surface of his body and gradually progressed to the inside of his body. Slowly, Chen Mo's entire body except for his brain entered a dormant state. His brain's activity also decreased to the lowest level. At this time, from the outside world, Chen Mo had completely lost all signs of life. His breathing, heartbeat, and cell activity had all stopped. Only a slight fluctuation could be seen on his electroencephalogram.
Chen Mo's current state was actually no different from Steve, Ebert, and the others who had frozen their bodies and entered a dormant state. The only difference was that Chen Mo's brain still maintained a weak consciousness and had a certain level of awareness of his surroundings.
This was also a dormant state that could only be used by people who had been injected with the super soldier serum and whose bodies had been strengthened.
The strength and activity of ordinary people's cells were insufficient. Once they were frozen like Chen Mo's, the body's cells would quickly freeze. The cell membranes of the frozen cells would burst, and the cells would die. Therefore, if ordinary people froze their bodies, they would only end up dead.
However, after Chen Mo and the others were strengthened, not only did their physical fitness improve, but also their endurance, nerve reaction, immunity, and brain power improved. The most fundamental reason was that their cells had been strengthened.
Therefore, when they were frozen, their body's cells only stopped all activity and went into a dormant state. They would not break their cell membranes like ordinary people, which would cause the body's cells to die on a large scale. When they were defrosted, their cells would regain their activity and return to the state before they were frozen.
However, according to their physical fitness, which was the difference in the strength and activity of their cells, the speed of recovery after defrosting would also be very different.
For example, Dr. Zola and Colonel John had been strengthened by the improved serum, so their physical fitness was only three times that of ordinary people. Therefore, when Chen Mo returned to the Hydra base that day, after Ebert defrosted them and woke them up, they were in a weak state for more than ten minutes.
On the other hand, Steve, who had been injected with the improved serum, had five times the strength and activity of ordinary people. He could recover his body to its peak state within one or two minutes after defrosting and be able to enter the battle quickly.
As for Chen Mo, his physical fitness was seven times that of ordinary people. The strength and activity of his cells, as well as the ability to control his body's details, were far superior to ordinary people. This was also why he could enter a dormant state and maintain his brain's activity.
If necessary, Chen Mo could wake up from his dormant state on his own. It would only take him a few seconds to wake up his cells, and his body would be able to move again. In less than ten seconds, he could completely return to his pre-frozen state and fight again.
This was also why Chen Mo chose to return to S.H.E.L.D. in this way. He did not have to worry about anyone threatening his safety while he was in a dormant state.
His brain was still working, and he could sense his surroundings. If there were any abnormalities, Chen Mo would be able to quickly recover from his frozen state and react in time. Even if someone attacked him before he came out of his dormant state, the Eidmann alloy armor on his body would ensure his safety and allow him to smoothly recover his strength.
Not only that, Chen Mo, who valued his life very much, had also prepared an ultimate plan. Even if someone wanted to kill him by detonating a powerful bomb while he was in a dormant state, he could instantly release a heavy armored fortress from his space that could withstand the impact of a nuclear bomb. In other words, it was a large metal box that could protect him.
The structure of the fortress was very simple. It was a sealed cabin that was three meters tall. The cabin walls were made of a special alloy that was fifty centimeters thick. It could be directly taken out from the space to cover Chen Mo. The cabin lid below could automatically close and completely protect Chen Mo.
In this way, Chen Mo's dormant state was really foolproof.
However, because his dormant state was rather special, his dormant state this time could not last as long as Steve and the others.
Normal frozen dormant state would completely stop all the activities of the body and could continue to be frozen. However, Chen Mo still needed to consume energy because his brain activity was preserved. Although he reduced his brain activity, he still could not maintain it for too long. At most, he would have to come out of the frozen state in a month. Otherwise, once his energy was completely exhausted, his brain cells would begin to die.
Chen Mo did not have such a big heart to completely dormant state like Steve and the others. Although he was familiar with the plot, it did not mean that there would not be any accidents.
The Marvel world was not that simple. There were many people who could threaten Chen Mo. Although they had not appeared yet, it did not mean that he was absolutely safe. Chen Mo could not enter a complete dormant state without worry.
However, he did not need to wait too long.
…
Three days later, when a glacier expedition team was investigating a glacier in Greenland, they accidentally found a behemoth frozen in the glacier. They immediately reported the situation.
According to the results of their preliminary detection, the huge steel object buried in the glacier was in the shape of a regular triangle with a length of more than 100 meters. It did not conform to any known mechanical device.
This special situation was eventually treated as a strange incident and handed over to the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Security Bureau to deal with.
Two agents were quickly sent to the scene. When they went down from the hole in the equipment into the cabin, they could not help but widen their eyes at the sight in front of them.
The iconic black round shield and the huge two-handed Knight's sword clearly told them the identity of the man in the seat who was frozen in the ice and covered in black armor.
The predecessor of the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Security Bureau was the Strategic Science Reserve Team. As a veteran of the Strategic Science Reserve Team, the founder and first commander of the Special Forces, Chen Mo was a legendary figure who almost single-handedly crushed the powerful Hydra organization. These agents who had access to secrets and knew something about what happened back then all regarded him as their idol.
And now, this hero who had been missing for seventy years, who should have been dead long ago, actually appeared in front of them.
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
The two looked at Chen Mo's majestic figure sealed in ice and could not help but exclaim.
"Headquarters, connect me to the Colonel!"
One of the agents was the first to come back to his senses and immediately began to contact the headquarters.
"It's three o 'clock in the morning, sir."
The headquarters contact person on the other end of the line reminded him. He did not understand why they had to wake up their boss at this time.
"I don't care what time it is."
The agent said firmly.
"He has waited long enough."
…
Washington, Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Security Bureau Headquarters.
In a 1940s-style room, Chen Mo, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
Sitting up from the bed, Chen Mo looked around the environment. The white walls, the light green dado, the old-fashioned bedside lamp, and the slowly rotating ceiling fan above his head all revealed a strong sense of the last century.
