Chapter Twenty-Nine: To Lake Ekari

Soon after Bucky infiltrated the S.H.I.E.L.D. network, he discovered that several data streams began to track his tracks, and Bucky immediately realized that his invasion had been discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is S.H.I.E.L.D., and this protective measure is really tight, but the means of attack still can't get rid of the restrictions of this era, and only this ability can't track me down."

Bucky muttered to himself as he looked up information about New York, not forgetting to dig a lot of holes on the Internet and wait for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s cyber experts to jump in.

Soon, Bucky found the information he was looking for. Looking at the car with the rear wheel blown out in the data, it was his own Cadillac SUV, which made Bucky feel nervous. However, after seeing the appearance of suspected mutants and taking down all the gunmen, Bucky's heart calmed down a little, and Anna should not have been captured, but I don't know if she was hurt.

After receiving the news, Bucky immediately quit the S.H.I.E.L.D. network, erasing all traces of himself and ensuring that no S.H.I.E.L.D. hackers would track him down.

On the other side of New York City, Hank the Beast has taken Anna and Eugene Walker to a private estate in the suburbs, which is the famous Xavier School for Gifted Teens.

It was night, and there were no more students on campus, so Hank led the two into the hall, where one was already waiting.

The man looked a few years older than Hank, and his shiny, bald head gave him a sense of intelligence, sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at the trio who came in.

If Bucky were here, he would immediately recognize the person in front of him as Professor X Charles Xavier, the founder of the school and the founder of the X-Men.

"Hello, Anna, nice to meet you." Professor X said to Anna, then looked at Eugene Walker and greeted him, "Eugene, you haven't been to school in years. ”

Eugene Walker was obviously an acquaintance of Professor X, pointed to his ball-like figure, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have gained a lot of weight in the past few years, so I don't want to move around, so I didn't come here." ”

At this time, Anna frowned and asked Professor X, "How do you know that my name is Anna?" Do you know me? ”

"No, kid, I don't know you, I have telepathic abilities, I asked Hank about you when you got out of the car." Professor X kindly answered Anna's question.

It's just that Professor X didn't expect that when Anna heard that Professor X had telepathy, her face suddenly changed, and then she entered the state of diamonds, looking at Professor X with a wary face.

It's no wonder that Anna has such a big reaction, today Anna experienced the most thrilling attack in her life, although Hank saved Anna at a critical moment, but she was still nervous, and when she learned that Professor X had telepathic ability, she immediately entered the diamond state alertly.

Half of the reason for Anna's reaction is Bucky, who often tells Anna about the mutant abilities, most often mentioning telepathic abilities. Perhaps Bucky has the experience of being controlled by others, and has a natural wariness of telepathic abilities that can also control others, and Anna is also influenced by Bucky, and is also always wary of telepathic abilities. Entering the diamond state will block other people's telepathic abilities, which is what Bucky told Anna.

Looking at Anna in a diamond state, Professor X muttered to himself, "Like, it's too similar." ”

"Like what?" Anna asked warily.

"Many years ago, maybe thirty years ago, there was a powerful mutant who resembled her, and to be honest, you looked a little like her, and her name was Emma Frost."

It's not the first time Anna has heard the name Emma Frost, Bucky has told her about the White Queen's abilities, but Bucky doesn't know the White Queen's appearance, so naturally he didn't say that Anna and the White Queen are also somewhat similar in appearance.

At this time, Eugene Walker, who was standing on the side, had already patted his head and suddenly said: "I just said that the surname Frost is somewhat familiar, it turned out to be the surname of the White Queen, it is really old, otherwise I would have remembered it a long time ago." ”

Looking at Anna, who was still in a diamond state and did not relax her vigilance at all, Professor X said softly: "Relax child, my name is Charles Xavier, I am the principal of this school, the teachers and students here are all mutants, and no one will hurt you." ”

"You're Professor X?"

"Yes, you've heard of me?" Professor X was a little surprised, he didn't expect Anna to know about it.

"Bucky once told me about you, that you have the most powerful telepathic abilities in the world, and that you are a good person who will never abuse your abilities to hurt anyone." With that, Anna also lifted the diamond status.

"This Bucky seems to know me well, and I don't know who it is." Professor X pondered.

The name Bucky was unfamiliar, and Professor X thought about it for a long time without a clue, but he didn't ask Anna in the end, he wasn't someone who liked to probe into other people's privacy.

"Anna, you should stay at the school first, although those people didn't succeed today, I don't think they will stop there." Professor X glanced at Anna sympathetically and continued, "Do you want to call your family and report that you are safe, after all, you should not be able to go home on time." ”

Hearing Professor X mention her family, Anna reacted and exclaimed that she was about to find her phone, but she soon found that her phone had been damaged in the attack and could no longer be used.

Anna is in a hurry right now, anxious to call Bucky.

In Anna's opinion, the person who attacked her today is likely to be sent by the same Colonel Stryker that Bucky said, in order to catch herself, threaten Bucky to sell them the operating system, and she must remind Bucky to be careful of that Colonel Stryker.

I have to say that although Anna guessed the reason wrong, she guessed the result correctly.

Borrowing the school's phone, Anna finally dials Bucky's cell phone.

"Bucky, I'm ......"

Before Anna could finish, Bucky interrupted her and asked eagerly, "Anna, where are you now?" ”

Anna tells Bucky everything that happened in the evening, stating that she is now at Xavier School, that it is safe, and that Bucky should not worry about her.

Bucky finally breathed a sigh of relief to hear that Anna was now safe. Although the information obtained from S.H.I.E.L.D. has stated that Anna should not have been captured, Bucky's heart has always been carried.

After thanking Professor X over the phone, Bucky tells Anna to stay at the school and come back to pick her up in a few days.

Anna's safety is fully assured at Xavier's school, and Bucky doesn't believe anyone can do any harm to a school guarded by a professor. With his worries out of his mind, Bucky decided to settle the ledger with Colonel Stryker.

Stryker sent someone to capture Vanessa, and he wanted to send someone to capture Anna, and he once tried to steal his own operating system, Bucky decided to go to Stryker this time, and if not kill the old guy, he would send him to a court-martial, and let him go to prison to pick up soap for the rest of his life.

As far as Bucky knew, Stryker had at least two strongholds, one in Lake Ekari in the Canadian Rockies, and the other on an island, though Bucky couldn't remember the name of that island.

Lake Ekari is where Stryker injected Logan with Edman alloy, and it is also the place where Logan really transformed into Wolverine, although it is not known where Stryker's experiment is now, and it is not known if Stryker is still in Lake Ekari, but Bucky still decides to go over and take a look, and even if he can't find Stryker, he should be able to find some clues.

Redmond is not too far from Lake Ekary, but it is more than a thousand kilometers away, and Bucky finally chose to turn to Gates, borrowing his private jet and flying to Williamslake in southwest Canada before driving to Lake Ekary.

By the time Bucky arrived near Lake Ekari, it was already noon the next day. Bucky didn't know if Stryker had set up a sentry near Lake Ekari, so he got off the bus in the town a few kilometers away and walked to Lake Ekari.

Bucky had made it all the way and didn't have time to prepare any equipment for himself, with only a dagger on his body, and wearing a casual tracksuit that made Bucky look like a tourist visiting Lake Ekari.

It was May, and the trees around Lake Ekari were in full bloom, and Bucky had not encountered any obstacles or found any outposts along the way, so it seemed that Stryker had not made any arrangements to the perimeter of Lake Ekari.

Soon after, Bucky sees the abandoned barracks in Lake Ekari, which on the surface has not been inhabited for decades, but Bucky knows that underneath the abandoned barracks is Stryker's secret stronghold.

As he approached the abandoned barracks, Bucky hid his form, and after rounding a low mountain, Bucky finally made a discovery.

It was an artificially constructed platform that may have been used as a training ground for a military barracks, but has been converted into a helipad where a helicopter is about to take off.

"Stranger, I smell strangers!"

A man who was about to board the plane stopped, twitched his nose, and muttered to himself. This man's eyes were gloomy, his beard was long, and the two fangs that peeked out of his mouth as he spoke added a bit of horror to his image.

"Maybe it's just a tourist, the colonel ordered you to go there immediately, or don't make any trouble." The pilot of the helicopter shouted at the man.

"Maybe it's a tourist, but I can feel the power in him!" The man turned his head sharply and looked at where Bucky was hiding, his gaze just opposite Bucky's, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"You bring these subjects to the Colonel first, and I'll do it myself!" The man said a word to the helicopter pilot, ignored him, and walked straight for Bucky.
