Chapter 18: Key Points (Part 2)

"This metal is so tightly knit that it was even called the hardest substance known in the world at one time. Whether it's making weapons or armor, it can save me a lot of effort. ”

Xia Jie thought about it, although he had the power of the five elements and the fountain of immortality in his body, he did not have a specific means to manipulate mana, and he couldn't suppress it through pure mana every time, in that case, the consumption would be too great.

And if you use the power of the five elements as a medium to indirectly manipulate foreign objects to fight, you may be able to achieve a three-point amplification effect with one point of force. It's like a young child who can kill a strong man with a gun.

Good weapons can give full play to people's huge advantages, which is the key to why monks refine magic weapons.

With a flick of his fingers, the metal ball hovered in mid-air, and the power of the five elements surged in his hand at the same time, and a layer of golden mana instantly submerged into it.

Every inch of the metal layer soaked up required the consumption of his mana, which was equivalent to consuming his immortal spring, so Xia Jie did not maintain subtle control as before, but directly violently decomposed, roughly dividing the metal ball into five parts.

Then, with the kneading of the power of the five elements, it was shaped into five sharp blades that were long and thick as the thumb and had three edges.

This kind of flying knife-style weapon is suitable for use in this modern society, like a sniper, a gunner, Xia Jie doesn't have to wait for them to get close, and he doesn't need to spend too much power of the five elements to cross this distance, as soon as the knife passes, it can be penetrated, which is very convenient.

As for the detailed points of re-division, or shaping them into flying needles, darts and the like, it is too small and not conducive to the control of the power of the five elements.

Xia Jie withdrew his mana and reached out to pinch the five blades, although they were all fabricated by the power of the five elements, they looked silver and sharp, but in fact, they were no different from Wolverine's claws.

"I'm pure brute force, if it's like those Xianxia fantasy movies, if you create this flying knife through refining weapons and painstaking sacrifices, I'm afraid it's much more powerful."

But after thinking about it, Xia Jie didn't care about putting them aside.

These things are only a temporary way to save resources, if there are too many Edman alloys, he will definitely choose to build a large knife, so that he can use his full strength, these gadgets are just to deal with the armed forces of this world, it is really excessive.

"Let's speed up the next process, complete the mission as soon as possible, and then sack the Alcali Institute and enter the next world!"

……

The next day, there was a heavy rain in the morning.

Xia Jie wandered casually on the street. Skipping food and drinking is the benefit, he doesn't need to eat these weird foods, and all the time can be used to do what he wants.

For example, the first time I came to this foreign country, the different architectural styles and cultural environment here are like a trip.

Although he wanted to speed up the process, some necessary conditions could not be missed. Like Logan's taxi order tonight, and Donald's group following him, these are things that he will have to wait for for to happen.

And in this process, he couldn't cultivate, and he couldn't do superfluous things, so naturally he had to come out and take a look at the scenery.

After turning around, it felt like the time was almost up, and Xia Jie also called Logan.

"Toot ......"

The phone was connected, Xia Jie was pacing, and just wanted to speak, but he heard a young male voice on the other end of the microphone, and the sound of a conversation between Logan and him.

Logan's slightly old voice: "What do you want?" ”

The young male voice: "I just want you to cooperate, find this woman, call me...... I almost forgot to say that you were my idol before. ”

Then there was the sound of the door opening and closing, and Logan's heavy breathing rang out from the other end of the microphone.

He picked up his phone, gritted his teeth, and said, "You know what? I really wanted to stab him in the mouth with a bone spur! He actually threatened me? Threaten me with Charles! ”

Xia Jie thought in his heart, this man must be Donald, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Hold back, you are no longer the same person you used to be, killing people in the downtown area, did you run away?" ”

In fact, he still had something to say in his heart: "Fortunately, you didn't do it, otherwise, I would also like to give you a punch!" ”

Donald is the perfect point for him, and if Logan picks up the loophole, it will be a waste.

Fortunately, Logan's temper has been greatly restrained over the years, and he gasped a few times to suppress that anger, "Okay, where are you?" I've got the medicine, let's go. ”

He is also worried that there will be changes later, the man who came today actually knew that Charles was not dead, and was even at the Mexican border, which means that the place is not safe, and it has to be transferred as soon as possible, fortunately, now that there is one more Xia Jie, maybe some things will be much simpler.

Xia Jie looked up at the signs around him and locked on an old stone bridge in front of him.

"Well, I'm at Wells Bridge."

And Rogan has traveled to almost all corners of the city this year, and when he heard the name of the place, he instantly estimated the location and time.

"I'll be there in ten minutes."

Sure enough, when he stood by the bridge and waited for less than seven minutes, an extended Claires drove from the street, Xia Jie turned his head and opened the door to get into the car, the car accelerated and started again, drove away from the bridge, and got into the traffic in three or two clicks, and disappeared.

Xia Jie sat on the square opposite chair at the back, looked sideways at the back, and asked, "Didn't you just say that someone threatened you with a doctor?" Go straight back now, not afraid of tracking? ”

Logan didn't look back, controlled the direction with one hand, and handed over a white paper business card with one hand.

"He's looking for someone, the target isn't us, so he won't focus on it here, he left a business card, it looks like it should be General Rice's gang."

In recent years, the government and people from all walks of life have long stopped hunting mutants, because the mutants who have naturally mutated have been genetically modified from the food, and the mutant genes have been stifled from the mother.

For mutants who existed before, the body cells have already been collected, and if there is a need for experimentation, a culture medium can reproduce enough mutant blood to be manipulated at will.

Therefore, old people like Logan, Charles, and Caliban no longer have any value, and chasing them may provoke a dying counterattack, so that the gains from killing them may not necessarily be much to pay, and how can politicians make a loss-making deal?

Xia Jie took the business card and looked at it, which was written in black on a white background: Alkali Institute of Genetic Modification, Director of the Security Department, Donald Pierce.

As for General Rice, he is the one who injected Logan with the Edelman alloy back then, and the name of this genetic modification institute also comes from the waterfall next to the military base back then: Lake Al Cali.

So as soon as Logan saw the name, he was reminded of that painful memory, and he drove all the way without saying a word.

It was only when he was close to the Mexican border that he called a shipyard and wanted to buy a yacht worth $70,000, but his income and savings for the year were only $45,000, which was far from enough.

"Hello? Feed? Damn it! ”

Logan deducted the phone and looked angry, because the other party hung up the phone directly after he finished talking about his price, and there was no room for reversal.

And Xia Jie in the back naturally knew about it, not to mention that Logan didn't have enough money to buy a boat, even if he could buy it, in the rest of the troubles, he wouldn't have a chance to sail out of the open sea.

But he still pretended not to know and asked, "What are you buying a boat for?" ”

Logan handed over the newspaper in his hand, propped up the window and frowned: "Daily number, I want to leave the city with the doctor, once his illness attacks, everyone around him will lose their minds, and if it lasts too long, they will be directly brain dead." ”

Xia Jie took the newspaper and looked at it, and there was a huge picture on it, a three-story yacht was sailing in the blue sea, which looked pretty good.

"Then why not find a small village or a forest? Buying a boat...... Do you want to take Charles to isolate himself from the world, drift on the sea, and let him last go peacefully?! ”

“…… Be. Maybe when he dies, I will also choose to kill myself. ”

Logan replied in a low voice, his life had gone too far, and he had carried too much.

Even now that he has removed the Edman alloy from his body, the pain in his body has been alleviated, but his mind is still full of trauma.

In the past hundred years, the killing since childhood, the endless pain caused by the war, is like a file sharpening his spirit, making him disgusted with the world and his immortality. So he always has a bullet made of Edman alloy on his body, and as long as he sends Charles away, he will also kill himself.

A ship called the Sunchase is the banished leaves of the self and the ark carrying their hopes. It means sailing to the sun, ushering in the end, and finally being reborn in destruction.

Looking at the negative emotions in Logan's body, Xia Jie didn't know how to persuade him.

Maybe only that little guy Laura can make them change their minds.

Laura, for Logan, is the continuation of his life, he can see the shadow of his childhood in this newborn girl, to teach her, protect her, and avoid the recurrence of tragedy.

And Laura is like the rising sun for Charles, dispelling the gloom, and also giving him the meaning of a new life, the newly born mutant, isn't it exactly what he has been looking forward to the most in the past 25 years?

At this moment, Xia Jie finally understood that the main difficulty of his mission this time was not the Alkali Institute, not whether Logan had the money to buy a boat, but the little artificial girl, Laura.

This is the key to remedying regrets!

The yellow sand on the ground fluttered under the wheels, and the two people in the car fell silent.

The car drove straight across the Mexican-American border to an abandoned metal smelter on the Mexican border.
