Chapter 16: The Old Driver Logan
"Long time no see, my friend, I didn't expect to see you here. ”
With a bitter smile on his face, Logan bowed slightly and gave Xia Jie a hug.
"I didn't expect that either."
Xia Jie smiled slightly, in these three missions, the identities arranged by the system for him were all seamlessly connected to the world of regret.
In the Killing City, he is a warrior recognized by the Black Ball, in the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, he is the adjutant of General Yang, and in the Great Wall, he is one of the commanders of the five armies.
And this time in the world, since he has matched the identity of the X-Men, he naturally knows Logan and others, just like interacting with other plot characters before, all their memories and impressions are from their real selves.
His mind turned, combined with the information in the plot, and changed the topic:
"What's wrong with you? The once mighty Wolverine, now can't even beat a few gangsters? The genetically modified genetic food shouldn't affect you. ”
Rogan hung his head, sat down on the front of the car, and slowly shook his head: "My lesions are not from genes, but from something in my body." ”
"Huh? Is it due to the Edelman alloy in your body? ”
"That's right, it's poison, since it started to rust, my body has become heavier and heavier, and its self-healing is getting slower and slower, I can feel it, it no longer erodes my body all the time, suppressing my self-healing ability."
Although Edelman metal is indestructible, it is only a strong alloy, but it is still a metal element in essence, and it exists in the human body for a long time, and it is washed and soaked by blood all the time, and the metal particles will naturally fall off.
When Xia Jie heard him say this, he immediately understood that rusty metal would infect blood and muscles, causing people to suffer from serious heavy metal poisoning.
And Logan's bones all over his body are wrapped in Edelman alloy, which means that his whole body is complicated by inflammation and infection, and every time his self-healing factor repairs his body, it is soaked with new metal particles, causing repeated damage.
Logan's superpowers are very strong, but he is also a **mortal, and the self-healing factor will naturally be consumed under this long-term struggle.
Xia Jie paused for a moment, frowned, and said, "Then you, have you ever thought about taking it out?" ”
Now Logan's self-healing factor allows him to live another three or five years at most, which is still the maximum without injury and outbreak. If he is like in the plot, his body has suffered heavy injuries one after another, and the self-healing factor is rapidly depleted, I am afraid that he will not be able to last for a week.
Hearing this, Logan slowly shook his head and said, "Take the Edman alloy out of my body?" Now in this world, no one can do it. ”
It has been twenty-five years since a new mutant has been born in this world, and those former companions have either died in battle or have lived to the limit of their lifespan.
The only mutants he knew were Dr. Charles, and the former intelligence trafficker Caliban, oh yes, and now a Xia Jay.
Thinking of this, Logan looked up at Xia Jie again and explained, "Although you can also manipulate metal, you can't dialysis it unless you reach the most subtle particle control level like Magneto." Otherwise, with conventional medical treatment, I would have died on the operating table. ”
Xia Jie smiled slightly, "You may not believe it, I may be able to take out the Edelman alloy in your body without injury." ”
He raised his hand and didn't move, the shotgun in the hand of the male corpse on the ground slowly rose and sank into his hand, and the metal body of the gun slowly melted into a ball, forming a metal ball the size of a fist.
Although his power of the five elements cannot separate every metal particle, this Huaxia technique and Western ability are completely different things, he can integrate the essence blood of alien beasts into himself through "Incarnation Outside the Body" to achieve deformation and qualitative transformation, is this not up to the level of particle-level control?
"Your abilities have reached this level now?"
Logan's eyes widened with a look of surprise, but after that, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Come on, I've had enough of this torture a long time ago!" ”
"Okay."
Xia Jie nodded in agreement, and then he reached out and pressed it forward, directly pressing on the bullet wound in Logan's chest, and there must be an exit to pull out the Edelman alloy, this wound is just right.
As his mind moved, the power of the five elements in his body quietly covered Logan's body, so that he could clearly see how bad Logan's internal situation was.
His bones were covered with a layer of metal, the marrow was as thick as lead and as black as a dead thing, and his muscles, heart, lungs, and blood vessels were all stained with a layer of cloudy black plum iron filings, mixed with some hazy tissue fluid.
Xia Jie first grabbed a few warheads in his body, and then reminded Zhengse: "Hold back!" ”
"Come on."
Logan has been in pain all over his body all these years, his muscles have already twitched into neurotic spasms, his whole body is trembling at any time, and pain has become commonplace for him.
Xia Jie nodded, and then the power of the five elements in his hand swelled instantly, like a dragon, freed out of his hand, and the golden golden power penetrated all of Logan's bones, covering the Edman alloy.
He doesn't need to manipulate any particles or separate them, he only needs to do one thing, and that is to use the power of the five elements as a medium to change this metal according to his mind.
As the power of gold enveloped it, the Erdman alloy gradually flowed slowly from Logan's bones, spreading along the links of the bones to his chest.
"En......"
Logan clenched his teeth, and he could feel a tingling pain in his bones, a pain that was no worse than when he injected the hot Edman alloy.
Xia Jie's hand on Logan's chest moved back inch by inch, and wisps of silver metal lines like slime slowly pulled out from his hands.
Two minutes later, a four-inch silver metal ball fell into Xia Jie's hand, and Logan collapsed on the car cover with a comfortable face.
"I haven't felt this refreshing feeling in a long time, thank you, Natsu."
After the Edelman alloy was separated from the body, the metal virus in Logan's body was also relieved, and the swollen and reddened face returned to normal, the wounds on the surface of the body also closed in an instant, and even the pale hair became thick and black.
Xia Jie was still looking at the alloy in his hand, but when he heard Luo Gan's words, he suddenly shivered, his face froze, and he said coldly: "What did you say?" ”
Logan didn't raise his head, looking up at the starry sky, and didn't hear Xia Jie's off-string sound at all.
He repeated: "I really haven't experienced this feeling for a long time, without the Edelman alloy, the pain that tortured me all day is gone, my body is relaxed, and even this ability to heal itself is much faster than before." ”
With that, Logan sat up and stood tall on the ground.
As soon as he stretched out his hands, six bone spurs instantly pierced out of his fist, and the wound closed the moment it was stabbed, and no blood came out.
He touched the bone spurs on his hands nostalgically, and sighed: "I haven't seen them for too many years." All these years, I even felt that the steel claw was my weapon, not my own bone spurs, was that sad? ”
Xia Jie raised his eyes, looked at Logan's demeanor, and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him.
"What's really sad is that you still have a lot of Edelman metal elements in your body, and they've become one with your muscles and blood, and I can't take them out. Plus your ability to heal itself is already dying out on its own, so if you want to live longer, it's best to get hurt less. ”
If Logan thinks that he is back in peak condition, and then fights desperately, regardless of his life, what is the point of spending all his energy to help him?
"Okay, I know."
Logan touched the bone spurs in his hands, smiling like a child who has regained his beloved toy, in fact, he doesn't need Xia Jie to remind him, he himself is willing to destroy this hard-won new life?
He had already thought about it a long time ago, and when he had saved enough money, he would buy a yacht and take Charles and Caliban to a small island with no people, and live a leisurely life until he died of old age.
"By the way, where did you go this year? Why haven't we heard from you all this time? ”
Logan's words instantly stunned Xia Jie, he thought about it, a year ago in the plot, Charles fell ill, couldn't control himself, killed six hundred ordinary people, plus a few X-Men time.
So according to this, he replied casually: "Well, I went out for a walk, what about you?" ”
"Me?" Logan laughed, he took out his mobile phone, opened a software, handed it to Xia Jie, and saw that it showed that the xx registered driver James Motley, with a rating of four stars, received more than 300 orders a year, and was working almost non-stop.
I have to say that from an underground black boxer, to an X-Men, to an express car driver, Logan's work span is incredible.
And looking at Xia Jie's stunned eyes, Logan once again threw out a kind of bombshell that he thought he had:
"You know what? Dr. Charles is not dead. ”
Xia Jie had a black line, but he had to cooperate with his performance: "What? How is this possible? ”
Logan sighed and said, "Back then, everyone thought that the doctor was crazy, destroying others and destroying himself, but I know that he is just sick, as long as he takes his medicine on time, these can be controlled." ”
"Well, I'm going to pick up the medicine again tomorrow, how about we go there together in the afternoon? He'll be happy to see you back.
Xia Jie has long known all about these things, Charles has Alzheimer's disease, and his intelligence is like that of a child at the onset of the disease, and he can't control his superpowers at all.
And he also knew that Logan had hidden them in an abandoned smelter on the Mexican border, but he couldn't say that if he broke it, wouldn't it be tantamount to asking for trouble for himself?
"Alright, I just have some things to do, I'll call you tomorrow."
Xia Jie pointed to the driver's information bar on the phone screen, which clearly marked his number.
