Chapter 29: The Change of Times

"Got it? This is no longer a negotiable matter, either go out now and face the indiscriminate shooting and be killed, or, while there is still Laura's hope, take her to a place where no one else can find it, the next era will belong to them after all. ”

Xia Jay paused, leaving a short moment for Logan to accept the fact, and then continued.

"You and I can't change Charles's idea, the only thing we can do is to force him to follow this idea. Compared to dying with nothing, at least he can still leave traces of his existence on Laura's body, and his spirit will live on forever in another way. ”

Logan nodded slowly, he would not question the authenticity of Xia Jie's words in the slightest.

Because, these conspiracy that subverts common sense, he has all experienced it himself, and he himself has been deeply devastated by the 'mutant weapon program', the Edelman alloy that fits to the bones, and the lives that have died one after another, are all his endless nightmares over the years.

"I see, what about you? Not with us? ”

"No, I still have something to do." Xia Jie shook his head categorically, he would return to reality when he completed the task, how could he go to seclusion with them? "I'll leave when I'm getting you to safety."

Logan didn't hold back, he looked down at the inside of the suitcase, the piece of Edman alloy was extremely dazzling, and after he made up what Xia Jie said, he suddenly thought again: "Let's remove the Edman alloy on Laura's body first, this is not a good thing." ”

Although there are not many Edman alloys in Laura's small body, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and Xia Jie agreed as a matter of course.

"Of course, take this thing out and we'll go."

Before Logan agreed, Caliban, dressed in a shade suit and tightly wrapped outside the door, came in angrily, and Logan said yesterday that someone would help, and it would be much better in the future? It hadn't been a day since there was another mouth in the house, which made Caliban unbearable.

He didn't know where he got the guts, so he didn't care and roared, "You're leaving again? Oh my God, I'm the only one doing all this work, right? ”

used to be the leader of the underground intelligence agency, but he has already been trampled into a housewife, and looking at Caliban's reprimand posture with a laundry tub in one hand and a clothes pole in the other, Xia Jie and Logan looked at each other.

"Caliban, I've decided to get Charles and Laura out of here, come with us if you want."

Logan also persuaded him, after all, he saw everything Caliban had done in the past year, and if it weren't for his care, it was estimated that Charles would have died a long time ago.

"Come on, get out of here? Do you think I don't know that you want to buy a boat and hide in the sea? I've dug through that old yacht magazine no less than ten times in your clothes! ”

Speaking of this, Caliban was even more angry, he put down the things in his hand, and said coldly: "The number of the sun, right?" Japanese characters are the key! Do you want me to hide in the deck all day long, and live without people and ghosts? And then when you die, I'll kill myself?! ”

"That was before, now if you're going to go with us, we can change our minds about where and how."

Because of Laura's existence, Logan didn't want to die too soon, and giving her the last help for the rest of his life may be more redeemable than suicide.

So when Caliban mentioned this, he also suddenly thought that if he drifted on the sea all year round, it was indeed not suitable for Laura's growth, and coupled with Caliban's albinism, he should indeed change his plan.

Xia Jie's head flashed, and he suddenly felt as if he had ignored the true role of Caliban!

He stepped forward and took the initiative to propose: "You know so many mutant locations before, think about it, whether there is a suitable place to hide and survive, this decision is in your hands." ”

"Huh? What does that mean? ”

Caliban's anger was dispelled in an instant, in fact, to break through the sky, his heart is also willing to be with Logan and them, in this case of mutants dying, Logan and Charles are like his last 'compatriots' in this world, and they are also the support of his survival, after all, his vampire-like appearance, it is very difficult to survive by his ability.

"Meaning, you can pick a good place, and then Logan will take you and Charles, Laura, to spend the last days of your life, provided that no one else can find you. Do you understand? ”

Xia Jie's words were very straightforward, but Caliban's eyes lit up when he heard it, and his efforts finally paid off.

"Okay, you think about it first, let's go over first." As he spoke, Xia Jie pointed to the water tank and signaled him not to worry, this time he was not too far away.

Then Logan also gave him an affirmative look before walking out.

Creak......

The iron gate of the tank slowly opened, causing Charles and Laura inside to stop their lectures and turn their heads to look at the door.

When he saw the figures of Logan and Xia Jie appear in the water tank, Charles pushed the wheelchair rocker and drove forward for a distance, smiling kindly, and what he said made Xia Jie stunned for a moment.

"Hello kid, I feel a great power in you."

"He can't remember you anymore."

Logan whispered in his ear as Charles continued, "Uncontrollable abilities are terrifying, and the existence of loneliness is even more frightening, and if you need it, X Academy will be your home." ”

Xia Jie rolled his eyes, Charles in this state is really living in a dream, maybe in his eyes, he is also a panicked 'child'.

"No, I'm just here to help her and take out some extras."

Xia Jie bypassed the wheelchair and walked straight to Laura, and the moment she saw him, Laura's eyes also revealed fierceness, she just wanted to stretch out her claws, but Charles turned around and signaled that she didn't need to be afraid.

"There's something strange about her in her, and she told me she's in pain, and if you can really help her, I'll thank you for her."

The injection process of Edelman alloy is a nightmare, just the hot molten metal cooling in the body can make ordinary people die of pain, so Laura will say that she is in pain.

And Charles's voice seemed to have a magical power, so that Laura was no longer afraid, but sat quietly on her small bench.

This is the terrible thing about Charles, even if he didn't do it deliberately, this kind of spiritual level of communication made Laura trust him incomparably and chose to accept Charles's suggestion and take out the source of his pain.

Xia Jie turned his head and glanced at him more, this old man with an old face and a decaying body was still a mutant standing at the pinnacle, and it was not in vain that the US Department of Defense listed his head as a major dangerous weapon.

"It's going to hurt a little bit, you have to bear with it."

His words were in Laura's ears, Mexican that she often heard, but she still didn't respond, as if Xia Jie didn't exist at all, and he wasn't talking to herself.

At this moment, in her cognition, there are only a few objects worth communicating with, and unfortunately, Logan and Xia Jie are not within this range.

Xia Jie didn't bother with her, and after a routine reminder, a finger was gently placed on her forehead, and she didn't dodge.

A curtain of pure golden light gradually poured into Laura's skull, starting from her skull, sweeping all the Erdman alloy all over her body inch by inch, given her thin bones, the weight of the alloy was only one-third of Logan's, and the penetration speed was very fast.

Although this peeling process was easier than Logan's, it was also extremely painful, Laura clenched a small mouthful of silver teeth, trembling all over her body, and did not make a sound, this kind of tenacity does come from Logan.

Laugh at......

A bright silver piece of metal floated from her forehead, drawing a palm-wide line of blood, and the continuous stretching of the wire caused the wound to heal for a long time, and the blood dripped down.

After a few moments, there were wisps of blood on Laura's little face, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, and the whole scene looked terrifying.

"Alright."

Xia Jie's fingers pulled slowly, and the Edman alloy in Laura's body was extracted by all that he had left, and with the departure of the foreign body, the blood on her forehead finally healed.

Laura propped up her sleeves, wiped her face a few times, and returned to her quiet demeanor.

Charles drove the wheelchair over, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you for helping her strip these things, your ability is very similar to that of a friend of mine, perhaps, you have also met him." ”

And Xia Jie didn't have the heart to stay anymore, so he casually dealt with Charles, and then turned around and beckoned Logan to leave.

“…… Let's go, let's see what's going on with the Caliban. ”

"Yes."

After Logan settled them, he also closed the iron door and walked out.

And Caliban, who lived up to his experience as an underground intelligence, became their future settlement in a small seaside town in Colombia.

It is a small town with suitable scenery, located in the tropics, but it is accompanied by the sea breeze all year round, and the climate is mild, because it is near the sea, but there are a large number of reefs, so few people pass through it all year round, and the nearest port is a hundred miles away, which is considered a remote area.

What's more, the distance from Mexico is reachable by car, and the local living materials are complete, and only need to spend a little money to build a settlement on the nearby coastal islands, which can ensure that Charles does not affect others, and is conducive to better survival.

There, Logan dusted the Edman Metal Bullet and fulfilled all his previous fantasies about the Sunrise, and gradually there was a small follower by his side.

Thanks to the resumption of his teaching career, Charles's illness has also been relieved to a certain extent, and he is immersed in teaching all day long.

Caliban is also enjoying this rare stability in the busyness of three meals a day, laundry and sweeping. And Laura's mental outlook is also changing with each passing day, and she is moving away from the darkness and towards the light.

At this point, Xia Jie has almost witnessed Logan's generation of mutants behind the scenes, and the new generation of mutants represented by Laura is like the rising sun.
