Logan pressed the window, poked his head out and said with some confusion:

"You don't need me to send you there?"

"No, I spared Pierce's life, and he'll take me in. ”

Only then did he understand Xia Jie's plan, although Alcali was in Mexico, and their direction was the same, but Xia Jie said this, clearly not wanting him to participate in this matter.

Maybe it's because of Laura, or maybe Pierce and they have Xia Jie to fight the thunder, Logan is not entangled in leaving quickly, and his desire to buy money for the boat is also relieved a lot.

Logan put on the steering wheel, looked at Laura, and finally poked his head out of the window and said in a muffled voice, "Then be careful yourself." ”

"Rest assured, I'll go to you when I'm done."

Xia Jiesong drove alongside, watched the black long car slowly drive out, and walked outside by himself.

As he was about to get on the road, Logan looked in the rearview mirror, and the big black jeep was parked behind him, and there was a man sitting inside, but before he could see his face, the body had already turned and left. In the mirror, only the little girl lying peacefully in the back seat remained, sweetly 'asleep'.

"Let's hope this is the end of it!"

Logan sighed in his heart, but when he thought of Laura, he felt that his head was big for a while, as if there was another layer of meaning to survive, and the future he was looking forward to was far away.

"Bang."

Xia Jie approached the big jeep, pulled the car door and sat in the back, and patted the front chair casually: "Let's go, don't waste time." ”

Listening to his tone, it was as casual as a dignitary telling his driver where to eat and play.

“……”

Pierce wanted to turn his head sideways, but the alloy flying knife on his neck was another stinging pain, he glanced in the rearview mirror, but saw that Xia Jie had no intention of retracting the flying knife at all. He grinned, wanted to say but didn't dare to mention it, so he silently started the car and released the clutch.

Boom, boom~

The car started slowly, and then drove down the road, behind Logan.

When you leave this remote slum, the lights outside are much brighter, and the sparse traffic in the middle of the night makes the whole road seem extremely spacious.

And Pierce seemed to be slowing down the car, and Xia Jie could clearly sense that Laura's young Edelman alloy was distancing herself at a constant speed, and her eyes were looking through the windshield, and she gradually couldn't see Logan's taillights clearly.

He rolled his eyes a few times and asked Pierce, "How many of you are in this city?" Except for the ones that just died. ”

Pierce suddenly thought of the horrific scene just now, he swallowed his saliva, paused, and then mustered up his strength to reply, "...... It's just us. ”

"Huh."

Xia Jie sneered: "Then you are running so slowly like a turtle, are you waiting for the police or the army to come and save you?" I have to say, you are so naïve. Even if there are 10,000 people here, you will definitely be the ones who die. ”

He had only spoken to Logan alone for a few minutes before, but he ignored the possibility that Pierce might spread the news, but it was not too late to think about it at this moment, at most it was just a simple matter, and it became a little more troublesome.

Seeing Xia Jie's transient face, Pierce shook his head again and again, his right side of his neck rubbed a hole with the blade, glowing with red blood, he ignored the pain, and nervously explained:

"No, no sir, please believe me, I definitely don't have this idea, I will speed up immediately, speed up immediately."

He did want to escape from Xia Jie's hands, but he racked his brains, and he couldn't think of anyone who could save him, even the newly successful X-24 seemed weak in the face of this kind of power, so he almost subconsciously wanted to rush to Alkali slowly to see if things could turn around.

But at this moment, it gave birth to the other party's killing intent, and Pierce was so annoyed that he had to slam on the accelerator to try to save the endgame.

Boom, as the engine started at full strength, the speed of the car soared, and in just a few seconds, it was more than doubled.

"Then you're afraid of death, so you don't want to speed up?"

Xia Jie looked at his painful appearance, and his expression became a little colder: "I said earlier that you don't waste my time, you are looking for death by yourself!" ”

A cold sweat broke out on Pierce's forehead, but fortunately this was just the beginning, and he could also find a reason to say that this little caution was positive, and he seemed to take credit and said:

"Sir, I was just thinking that it would be convenient to take that road, we can take a hidden military passage, where there is no entry and exit control, it will be half an hour faster than the ordinary entrance."

Although this also accelerates the approach of death, it is much better than dying immediately.

Xia Jie saw the cold sweat on his face through the reflection of the rearview mirror, and thought to himself, as long as Logan was on the road, he would not only be able to make any big moves with Pierce.

He looked sideways at the fast-moving lights around him, and said casually: "If you save one more second, you will be able to live one more second, and you can control these things yourself." Even if you're good enough, I can choose not to kill you. ”

"Hoo ......"

Pierce let out a sigh of relief, feeling his heart beating extremely fast, on the one hand, he escaped the killing opportunity just now, and on the other hand, he saw the dawn of survival.

He once thought that death was not terrible, until he was transformed into a half-mechanical and half-biomorphic person, and after he had power and strength, he was used to seeing the passage of life, but he cherished this life more and more.

Unconsciously, his beliefs have already changed, and no country or glory can compare to his own life, because when a person dies, everything is gone.

His lips squirmed twice, and he whispered, "I, what do I have to do to live?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Jie smiled: "It depends on how valuable you are." Like, everything about Al Kali? ”

Xia Jie also has a balance in his heart, if Pierce can dig out something more valuable, beyond his possible perfect point, then let him go.

"I see."

Pierce's grip on the steering wheel tightened, but his expression relaxed.

Then, while Logan was still driving on the main road, the big black jeep turned around and drove into a completely different road than when he came.

A confidential document allowed them to be on this military route, unimpeded, and directly crossed into Mexican territory. And when it was dark, he came to a heavily guarded genetic research institute.

The Alkali Institute of Genetic Modification occupies a huge area, surrounded by a high-voltage power grid, and there are a large number of armed soldiers patrolling the edges, and its security is as tight as a military base.

Although these are not dangerous in Xia Jie's eyes, the role of Pierce is reflected here.

The black jeep drove all the way and stopped in front of the gate of the research institute, blocked by several hydraulic metal columns.

The soldiers stationed at the door looked at Pierce who slowly rolled down the window and saluted straight.

"Hello sir!"

Pierce reached out and leaned against the window and said to the lookout at the door, "Open the door." ”

The soldier turned his head to look inside the sentry box, and his companion inside replied in the affirmative: "Pupils match, voiceprint match, pass." ”

Although in the era when mutants were strong, there were mutants like the Demon Girl who could change themselves, and this set of verification procedures was not very useful, but now, after all, all the mutants have died, and this instrument is mainly guarded against humans.

Woo.

There was a sound of the machine lifting and lowering, and the stout hydraulic metal pillars slowly lowered, and Pierce closed the window again and drove straight in.

At this moment, the Alkali Institute is no longer the grand occasion it used to be, and there is a lack of voices and figures in the huge buildings, which is extremely depressed.

With the advent of mature research such as X-24, the minor mutants, the nurses, have been largely disposed of, not including those who have escaped, of course.

And project leaders like Sandell, as well as some research assistants, are still putting the finishing touches on the X-24.

After entering the institute, Pierce slowed down and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what is the next step?" ”

Xia Jie's face was excited, and he moved his fingers twice, and pinched his finger bones with a click.

"Take me to the person in charge here, and the latest X-weapon."

"Yes."

Pierce immediately nodded in agreement, and as he went further and further down the path of the traitor, he gradually got used to the disposition of his new master, which was to keep everything simple and get straight to the point.

……

Alcali Building 1, the most central research room.

Dressed in an isolation gown and rubber gloves, Sundell Les was drawing a bottle of a pale blue liquid potion.

"Dr. Rice, Vital Signs 24 have stabilized, the limbs are mosaic, and you can begin to wake up."

A research assistant monitors the eco-panel, and in front of him stands a rectangular movable stretcher with dense hoses attached to it, which is constantly being injected with colorful mixtures.

On the stretcher, there was a man whose limbs and torso were bound, his eyes were closed and he was sleeping, his muscular body wrapped in a black tight vest was extremely developed, and his sleeping face also had a touch of cruelty, and what was even more shocking was that his face and body shape were no different from the young Logan.

Dr. Rice finished drawing the potion, the syringe in his hand was already full of pale blue liquid, and he turned to look at the human body on the stretcher, with a look of admiration on his face.

That kind of expression is like a painter looking at his own work, and like a father looking at his own children.

"If it weren't for the fact that Weapon 23 X reproduced the unique division and growth process of the X gene during its development, we would not have delayed the cloning template until now. After all, it takes too long to make embryos, conceive mothers, and wait for X weapons to grow, and there is no possibility of mass production at all. ”

"It's still a direct clone, it can play the role of an X weapon, the limbs and body are made separately, and within an hour, all the production processes of an X-24 can be completed."

"Then, he only needs to inject a function-enhancing agent to activate the self-healing factor in his body, and heal all the articulation parts in an instant, forming a perfect ratio."
