Chapter 21 This woman is not simple
Logan's work, Caliban's albinism, caused them to reverse their schedules, treating day for night, and when the moon was high, it meant morning.
Xia Jie didn't have the heart to sleep at all, he got up early from the bed that Logan had vacated for him, only to find that Caliban had gotten up earlier than him.
Looking at the neatly arranged breakfast and the Caliban with the iron, Xia Jie walked to the table with a smile and gave a thumbs up: "You are really Logan's virtuous helper." ”
"What?"
Caliban held an iron in one hand and made a puzzled look in the other, indicating that he didn't understand what Xia Jie meant.
"Nothing, you continue."
Xia Jie smiled meaningfully, sat aside, and waited quietly.
"You don't like these?" Caliban put down the work in his hand and walked over to take a look, the fruits and vegetables and coffee on the table were all very normal and early.
"I don't have an appetite in the morning, you're busy with yours, don't worry about me."
He doesn't need to eat, and he may have the mind to taste the special food when he sees it occasionally, these ordinary things have to be excreted after eating, and he is too lazy to ask for trouble.
"Same bad habits as Logan."
Caliban shrugged, took a sip of his mug, and turned to continue ironing his shirt.
After a while, Logan was wearing a white tank top, a shirt and a suit, and walked downstairs, he had returned to normal walking, and even his mental state was much better than yesterday.
He walked over in a few steps and drank half a cup of coffee, picked up the avocado on the table and took a bite, and then directly greeted Xia Jie: "Let's go, this time is just right." ”
"You don't take a change of clothes?"
Caliban picked up a shirt that had been washed and ironed from behind, and the first thing he did when he got up was to wash out the dirty clothes that Logan had brought back yesterday, which was another set of change of clothes, and the clothes that were bloody and bullet holes like yesterday were thrown away by Rogan.
"No, I should be back soon this time."
Logan waved his hand, he used to be a driver, and he came back once a week, but from tonight, he was ready to quit, and naturally he didn't need to bring this clothes.
"Oh." Caliban nodded thoughtfully, pouting and putting his shirt down.
……
The two got into the car, and they galloped along the way, and in the middle of the night, they crossed the Mexican-American border and returned to the United States at twice the speed.
"Are you sure she's here?"
Logan parked his car in a dilapidated motel, the 'Liberty Autotel' sign was a little dim, and he couldn't have driven it without navigation.
Xia Jie raised the mobile phone in his hand that had already been turned off, and affirmed without changing his face: "That's right." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here?"
"No, you come with me, since that woman came to you alone, it means that she is defenseless against you."
Xia Jie beckoned and motioned for Logan to come along, he didn't want to come to the door by himself to scare away Gabriela and Laura, who were like frightened birds, and it would be difficult to find them when the time came.
"That's a terrible idea."
Logan was speechless, but got out of the car anyway.
As soon as I stepped out of the car, there was still a little rain on the ground outside, and there was a smell of dirt in the air.
In front of the right is a two-story L-shaped building, the gate is made of red bricks, and the blue wooden doors inside have a strong sense of age, and in this narrow square, three or four tractors are parked scattered.
Logan looked up, although it was small, there were still as many as twenty or thirty rooms, and the doors were all closed, so they couldn't see that there was anyone in that room, and that room was their target.
He tilted his head and asked, "Your message didn't mention what room she was in?" ”
"No, I don't." Although Xia Jie didn't know the specific location of this woman, he remembered that this woman seemed to live on the first floor, in a room near the stairs.
"A fugitive woman, if she lives in such a car hotel, will definitely choose the first floor to facilitate escape, and a room with a staircase at the door can also temporarily lurk on the second floor when the door is blocked, increasing the chance of escape."
He looked left and right, the inn was too small, and there were only two places that met these two conditions, one was the innkeeper's registration room, and the other was on their right.
Xia Jie pushed Luo Gen and said, "That's it, let's go, go up and open this door." ”
"Are you sure?"
Logan was skeptical of Xia Jie's unwarranted inference, and would an ordinary woman think so much?
"Of course."
Xia Jie strode forward and pulled Logan to this door, the curtain on the left was closed, and it was impossible to see whether there was anyone inside.
He pointed at Logan, "Call it." ”
If it weren't for Laura's misunderstanding, he would have broken into the door a long time ago, where would he need such trouble.
Logan helplessly shouted into the door, "Gabrila? ”
His voice was not loud, but the door was also very poorly workmanlike, as soon as these words came out, there was a sparse sound of tables and chairs colliding inside, and after a while, it fell silent again, and after a while, a hoarse female voice came from inside: "Logan? ”
"Uh, it's me."
Luo Gen's tongue was knotted, and he couldn't speak well at all, but at Xia Jie's urging, he added another sentence: "Didn't you ask me for help in the morning?" I'm coming. ”
After saying this, he himself blushed, what is this called? Did anyone run to the woman's room in the middle of the night to help?
Fortunately, the woman inside didn't care about these details at all, and she exclaimed as she opened the door: "Thank God." I knew you were a hero, and you wouldn't die without help. ”
After the door was opened, the lights also lit up inside, and a woman with black hair and slightly dark skin came out wearing a light blue coat, with a face full of surprise.
"You're Gabriella?"
Xia Jie's gaze crossed the woman and threw himself into the room, only to see a little girl sitting silently playing pinball next to the folded bed.
"Who is he?" Gabriela suddenly became alert, she instantly leaned her body against the door, trying to block Xia Jie's gaze, but she was only one meter six tall, which was not enough at all.
Logan spread his hands and tried his best to get rid of the other party's dependence: "We are in this together, you want to ask for help, he is the one who can help you." ”
Gabriela relaxed a little, but she looked at Xia Jie's eyes and was very skeptical: "Can he help me?" ”
"Of course, if you have anything to tell him yourself, I ......"
Logan just wanted to leave, but Xia Jie laughed, want to run now? No way!
He reached out and pressed Logan: "You guessed right, she is the X weapon, and you would never have imagined that she has the same Edman alloy in her body!" Even the position of the covering alloy is about the same as yours. ”
These words suddenly made Logan's figure stop, covering the position of the alloy? Ordinary people's bones are the same, needless to say, but since Xia Jie has proposed it, she is an X weapon, and her bones are roughly the same as herself, this is not ......
Logan was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "She's my clone?" ”
“……”
Xia Jie almost choked on his breath, he cried and laughed: "What clone, this is the next generation conceived in ordinary people with your genes, that is to say, she is your daughter." ”
Before Logan could react, Gabriela was suddenly struck by lightning, and she trembled: "This, you, how do you know!" ”
"Is it hard to understand? The necessary condition for X weapons is the ability to heal themselves, and since this girl can carry the injection of Edman alloy, and even the bone spurs are the same as Logan, who else can he have if he doesn't use his genes? ”
Xia Jie clapped his hands impatiently and said to Gabriela, "Okay, get out of the way, wait for Logan to meet his daughter." ”
"This ......"
Gabriela was visibly hesitant, and although Logan saw that Laura was right, she always felt that things were a little weird, and it wasn't what she thought.
Seeing Xia Jie so sure, Logan naturally trusted his judgment and stepped forward silently, but the silent atmosphere made Gabriela involuntarily get out of the way.
Logan looked inward, and it happened that Laura also turned her head to look at the door, and the moment their eyes met, an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose.
Without him, the appearance of the two is too similar, the cheekbones, eyebrows and feet, the bridge of the nose, and the lips can find countless similarities, but Logan's appearance is more rigid, while Laura is more silky.
Although Logan had already believed seven or eight points in his heart, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Xia Jie: "She, is she really my daughter?" ”
"Isn't it your daughter, don't you know if you tell her to stretch her paws?" Xia Jie seemed to smile and pushed Logan in: "You communicate with her well, and I will solve this woman's troubles." ”
"No, she doesn't know you yet, it's dangerous."
Gabriela spoke to stop her, and she even reached out to grab Logan, but Xia Jie pushed her away and slammed the door shut.
He turned his head to look at the woman who was in the way, and scolded, "I don't know if it's dangerous? You can take care of yourself, the two fathers and daughters are reunited, what are you meddling in? ”
He specially brought Logan to try to establish a father-daughter relationship between the two as soon as possible, so as to speed up the progress of the mission. Besides, even if there is any danger, with him around, he can stop him at any time.
But Gabriela still stubbornly insisted: "I brought her here, and I am obliged to guarantee ......"
Xia Jie didn't have the heart to entangle with her at all: "Stop, do you really treat her as your daughter?" Logan's daughter, he will take care of it himself. ”
It is not easy for this woman to hold on for ten years at the Arkali Institute, a place that studies the transformation of mutants.
It was only after she knew that it was an American weapon that she made a move to rescue them. Even, she didn't bring anyone, but brought out the most critical Laura, and her mind was absolutely impure.
And, being chased by Pierce's elite mercenaries and escaping all the way from Mexico to here, is this something a nurse can do?
Besides, if she really had a mother-daughter relationship with Laura, and Laura didn't even show a trace of remembrance and sadness after her death, is this possible?
The so-called 'Garden of Eden', the so-called Canada where mutants gather, and who can prove that this is not another 'Arkali'?
