…………

A week later, the Vess newspaper.

"After all, the grass scared the snake." Xia Shang looked at the newspaper in his hand and said expressionlessly.

It is estimated that the government's side just wants to use the demon girl as a bait to lure Billy to appear, and then let Stryker send Victor and others to arrest him, once the plan is successful, it can not only suppress the arrogance of mutants, but also make the people understand that only the government can protect them and increase a wave of prestige.

It's a pity that the plan hasn't started yet, because of the disappearance of Victor and others, and the stillborn is not completely certain, the government naturally doesn't dare to release the demon girl, after all, the demon girl is the key to the success of the sentinel project.

"You really don't take Billy's threat seriously, so don't blame me for coming to the door." Xia Shang knows very well that the U.S. government doesn't care, the so-called indiscriminate massacre in Billy's mouth, the more ordinary people die, the more it can cause panic among the American people, and in the end, public opinion will become more and more intense, and it can even be said that the U.S. government wants Billy to do this.

"The matter of the demon girl can't be delayed any longer, she must be rescued as soon as possible."

"Understood."

I don't know when, a man in a black robe who doesn't smile appears behind Xia Shang.

"In two days, the White House will hold a press conference, and you should go at that time, just in time, I guess there are reporters from all over the world." Xia Shang picked up another newspaper on the table, and the front-page news on it read: "The Judicial Committee has publicly stated that it has confirmed that the Watergate scandal is related to someone".

"Help him attract a wave of firepower, and he should thank me." The corners of Xia Shang's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile, if he can reach a cooperation with someone, he will be able to launch superheroes next, and then logically form a superhero company and bring mutants under his command, when the time comes, it will be much easier for him to analyze mutants, and he doesn't have to look for traces of mutants everywhere like Stryker.

Meanwhile.

In a lumber yard in Canada, Logan, who was carrying wood, heard the sound of a car engine coming from behind him, and he seemed to have a premonition of something in his mouth, and his brows became more and more furrowed.

"They seem to be looking for you." Said a lumberjack wearing an orange hard hat.

"Smells like government people." Logan took off his cigar, picked up the axe on his side, and turned to walk towards Stryker.

"I'm sorry to bother you so soon, in fact, I was thinking of coming back to you in a few years."

Stryker, wearing a black coat and holding a wooden box in his hand, walked slowly to Logan, looked at it carefully, and said: "You are still the same, you like to smoke cheap cigars, take it, this is a gift I came here this time, specially prepared for you, cigars from Cuba, given to me by a general during the Vietnam War, I have been reluctant to smoke them all these years." ”

Looking at the cigar box handed by the other party, Logan's expression remained unchanged, and he refused: "No merit is not worth it, not to mention that I am used to smoking cheap cigars, but I am not used to smoking expensive cigars." ”

"Well, that's just for me to enjoy." Stryker wasn't annoyed, and handed the wooden box to Wade beside him, "I'm here this time to give you a job." ”

"Not interested." Logan, who was tired of the war, now just wanted to live an ordinary life, so he decisively rejected the olive branch thrown by Stryker.

"If there's nothing else to do, please go back, I still have to work."

Just as Rogan turned around, Stryker stopped him, "Logan, I know we didn't have a good time because of something, and I apologize for that, but I have news for you." ”

Hearing this, Logan stopped, turned his head slightly, and said lightly: "What news." ”

"Victor is dead." Stryker's words exploded in Logan's ears like a thunderbolt.

The sudden bad news was simply difficult for Logan to accept.

"No way, his ability is no worse than mine, who can kill him."

Stryker glanced at Wade and said, "Tell him everything that happened, I'm also responsible for Victor's death." ”

At this time, Wade took out the newspaper prepared in advance and handed it to Logan, "We were ordered by the top to go to Washington to investigate a mutant named Motherland, this guy disguised himself as a hero and frequently fought crimes, but behind his back he was a mutant killer and killed many mutants. ”

"Among them, Magneto's men, the White Queen, the Red Devil, and the Dragonfly Girl were all killed by him." Speaking of which, Wade can't help but feel a little weak, because the deaths of these guys are all related to Dr. Truss's plan, and he also participated in the hunt for the Red Devil at the beginning, but he didn't contribute.

"How exactly did Victor die!" Logan looked at the motherland people who appeared in the newspaper, and exuded a terrifying killing intent, like a wolf king who was ready to choose someone to devour, the center of his pupils oozed blood-devouring light, he and Victor were half-brothers, the two had a very good relationship when they were children, and then experienced World War I and World War II together.

Although they parted ways later because of different ideas, in Logan's heart, Victor occupies a very heavy weight.

"When we arrived in Washington, we were divided into two ways, Fred and I were responsible for tracking down a mutant named Billy, while Victor, John and Agent Zero were responsible for monitoring the every move of the motherland, just a week ago, we got information that all three of them were missing, and their lives and deaths were unknown, and then the captain used his connections to look for their whereabouts, but the final result was that Victor and the three of them should be dead."

Wade exchanged glances with Stryker as he spoke.

Then, Stryker stepped forward and said in a heavy tone: "People can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad, now we need you, the country needs you to stand up and eradicate this dangerous element." ”

Logan pinched the newspaper and didn't speak, but walked to his car, opened the door without saying a word, and sat in.

"Boom!"

As soon as you step on the accelerator, the engine roars! At this moment, Stryker hurriedly came to the window of the car, bent down slightly, and said to Logan in the car: "I'll come again tomorrow, if you don't want to avenge him, I won't force it, but if you're willing to avenge him, I have a way to make you stronger." ”

Logan still didn't speak, pursed his lips, and drove the car out into the wilderness.

Soon, it turned into a black dot and disappeared from Stryker's view.

"Captain, he doesn't look like he's going to say yes." Wade looked at the departing car lane.

"He has concerns, but everything is in my control, let's go."

Stryker's expression became indifferent, he turned to look at Wade, and said in a cold voice: "The cancer cells in your body have started to explode and must be treated, before you joined the mercenaries, I promised you to help you cure the cancer, and now you can also start." (End of chapter)
