"Come to me tomorrow? So where are you going now? ”

Logan took the phone in surprise, he looked sideways and looked around, the car movie theater here is biased after all, there is no store in front of the village and no store in the back, could it be that the other party also ran the express car driver?

Xia Jie was stunned, he also found this problem, he didn't have a car, he didn't have a mobile phone, even if he wanted to find the Alkari Institute of Genetic Modification, he couldn't start.

He thought for a moment and said, "Huh? Then you can send me to the city first, there are some things you can help with. ”

"No problem."

Logan didn't care what it was, and directly agreed.

The two then rummaged through the bodies around them, and found a total of four mobile phones of different models and a few hundred dollars in cash.

Logan looked at the small business van full of corpses, which was too conspicuous on the side of the road, thought about it, and took the initiative to ask, "Shall I drive them into the river?" ”

But Xia Jie waved his hand: "No, I can bury them directly in the ground." ”

Logan was stunned for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he thought of Xia Jie's five different superpowers, and he also stood aside obediently, shook his head and smiled: "Huh? Yes, you have a few abilities that can easily deal with them, and the strong genes of you Orientals are really enviable. ”

"Huh."

Xia Jie chuckled lightly, looking like he had taken it for granted, he had cultivated for decades to have such an ability. Compared to their genetic mutations, the abilities are more than one level higher.

To use a simple metaphor, like Rogan's mutated genes, just like his "Out-of-Body Incarnation", is something that can rely on exercises to achieve the same effect. Moreover, if the refining beast is extremely powerful, it can beat all mutants by relying on its own ability alone.

The difference between the two is very suitable to describe in cloud mud.

Xia Jie wrapped the Edelman alloy in his clothes, and immediately pulled his hands with a stroke, and the power of the five elements in his body instantly poured into the ground.

"Boom~"

A continuous roar sounded, and a crack appeared on the thick ground under Xia Jie's hands, like an abyssal mouth, swallowing the small business vehicle in one gulp.

When the ground was closed, everything was back to its original state, as if the cart of Mexicans had never appeared, and even the wheel prints on the ground had been smoothed out by the churning ground.

"Get in the car."

Logan held the steering wheel to start the car, but most of his eyes stayed on the rearview mirror, looking at Xia Jie who was fiddling with his mobile phone, and hesitated.

"Nothing major has happened lately, has it?"

He himself has experienced a lot of hardships this year, and he is running around every day to survive, and since the other party still maintains superpowers, what he said must not be simple. Some ordinary troubles, in front of mutants, are not troubles.

Xia Jie casually picked out a relatively new mobile phone and held it in his hand, and threw the rest out the window. Hearing Logan's question, he smiled, it seems that this Wolverine is indeed very different from before.

"It's not a big deal, by the way, just wait for you to help me find a hotel that doesn't require an ID card, and then you can do whatever you want, and we'll meet tomorrow."

"That's it?"

Logan frowned, subconsciously slowed down the car, turned his head, and the string of beards trembled slightly: "This is where you need my help?" ”

Xia Jie shrugged his shoulders and affirmed: "Yes, there is nothing else to do except this." ”

He wanted to destroy the Alcali Institute right now, but after thinking about it, it wasn't until tomorrow that the Mexican nurse would bring Laura here, and she would take action in advance, and if she lost Laura, it wouldn't be beautiful.

So he simply took advantage of this time to find a hotel to meditate and cultivate, and try to see if the aura in this world was abundant.

Logan looked at Xia Jie with bad intentions again, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, okay, I know." ”

When Xia Jie saw it, he was speechless, Logan's expression at the moment was exactly the same as when Lao Li Tou dragged himself to the foot washing room before.

In his full beard, there was a faint expression that all men understand, as if to say, as far as you are careful, as for hiding it?

But in fact, Xia Jie really didn't have this mind, not to mention whether he could accept this kind of thing, just because of the different skin colors of foreign races, he couldn't raise the slightest interest, and he would definitely avoid being disturbed by outsiders when he cultivated.

He tossed it in his hand, playing with the ball of Edelman alloy, which was not much bigger than the palm of his hand, and threatened: "Wait, I'll say okay first, if you find me that kind of inn, I'll stuff it back into your body!" ”

"Forget it."

When Logan saw the silver-white metal, he quickly withdrew his gaze and concentrated on driving.

Phoenix City at night is also very lively, there are countless pedestrians and vehicles along the way, and when Xia Jie got off the bus, Logan had already taken an order on his mobile phone and turned around to pick up passengers.

Although he has regained a certain amount of self-healing ability, money is still very short for those of them who have no skills, except for Charles's medical expenses, and the rest of the money to buy a boat, he also has to work overtime to earn enough.

And he looked at Xia Jie's outfit and the other party's move to scavenge money from Mexicans, and knew that Xia Jie didn't have a lot of money, so Logan was willing to drive, but he didn't open this mouth.

Xia Jie looked around at the inn that occupied three floors of the building, although there were not many pedestrians around, there were still many shops on both sides of the street that were open, and he raised his legs and walked inside.

"Alone? $50 a day, this is the key, take it yourself, if you have any special needs, go out and turn right for 300 meters to find it. ”

In the hotel bar, a gray-haired, dark-skinned old man with reading glasses took the money in Xia Jie's hand and handed him a string of keychains with only house numbers, which looked similar to the kind of small hotels in small cities in China.

“3-02？”

Xia Jie took the elevator to the third floor, and as soon as he stepped into the corridor, the environment suddenly quieted down, he looked sideways at the wall, and the decoration here turned out to be made of soundproof materials.

At this moment, he took a few more glances at the texture of the wall, but found that its thickness and hardness were a few points better than what he had seen on the construction site in Tokai City.

A marginal city, an ordinary hotel, its building materials are even better than the high-end engineering materials of the Chinese capital?

"More than ten years into the future, beyond real time, there is finally a place that surprises me."

In this regrettable world in 2029, whether it is a mobile phone, a car, or the surrounding architectural styles and humanistic characteristics, the whole is not much different from the real world where Xia Jie lives, and he doesn't feel that this is a future world.

"There have been many battles between humans and mutants in this world, and the eyes of the whole world are on mutants, and the development of science and technology is also subordinated to the thinking of the leadership, and they have long gone off the rails, and genes are their mainstream, and the construction density of this house is probably also studied to better resist mutants."

Xia Jie pursed his lips, opened the room, and walked in.

In his eyes, these are completely different paths from him, compared to building a technology tree, developing the so-called genes to create people, time-consuming and laborious, and there is no convenience for improving the strength of individuals at all.

As long as the strength is strong enough, with the power of the five elements, no matter how strong the wall is, it will be useless.

The layout of the room was inconspicuous, everything was simple and minimalist, he straightforwardly removed his shoes and socks, put away his phone and Edelman alloy, and sat on the bed.

"Since this world has a lot of incredible abilities, presumably, its aura is not weak, right?"

Xia Jie sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immersed his mind in his surroundings, in this sense, he could not see the specific substance, only the five elements of the essence that he had absorbed.

However, when time passes slowly, one breath, three breaths, ten breaths...... Until a hundred breaths and a thousand breaths passed, not even a single wisp of spiritual essence appeared in his perception.

This situation was also encountered by Xia Jie for the first time, and he continued to meditate and cultivate while conjecturing.

"Mutants with genetic mutations, the abilities they exert are not weak, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, self-healing, spiritual will, and even time and space are involved. This level of strength can also be regarded as the level of a monk of the Shanghua Kingdom, right? But why, I can't feel the slightest aura in this world. ”

"Isn't that an ability an aura ...... No, or is it that my Five Elements Exercises can't attract this kind of alien aura? ”

Of these two speculations, Xia Jie is more inclined to the latter, because his Five Elements Law is a living column, and what he can absorb from his surroundings according to this secret method must also be the same spiritual essence as it, not the power of other attributes.

Xia Jie opened his eyes and directly gave up his cultivation, he couldn't absorb a wisp of the Five Elements Essence in a time of 1,300 breaths, and if he continued to cultivate, even if he could absorb a wisp of the Five Elements Essence in the next second, this efficiency would be too low.

"What a waste of time, might as well try Edelman."

He sat down on the bed and reached out to the table, and the palm-sized bright silver ball flew into his hand.

This metal is divided into several large categories, such as the Edelman alloy in the original extraterrestrial meteorite, which was made into a shield in the hands of Captain America, which is something that cannot be copied, called the original Edelman alloy.

The Edelman alloy in Wolverine's body is a later man-made object, which has roughly the same properties as the original alloy, and is a real Edelman alloy in a general sense, which is extremely expensive.

As for some other secondary Erdman alloys, or weakened test versions, they are not as hard as real Edelman alloys, but they are also much better than some ordinary metals, and the price is greatly reduced.

However, whether it is 'primitive', 'real', or 'secondary', these three alloys, in Xia Jie's hands, are just simple metals. The only difference between them is how much mana is needed for each gram of metal.
