Chapter 7: The plot begins
The first step of the plan went smoothly, reaching out to Professor X and gaining his trust, and once the first impression was built, the subsequent contact was much easier.
If you want to complete the task and get the most benefits, Professor X is an indispensable part.
He wasn't good at scheming, he was better at striking iron and fighting, but the shallowness of his strength left him with no choice.
However, this contact led him to discover that the fire can react to telepathy, which is a bonus, and it seems that there is still a lot of room for development of his talent.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt a feeling of exhaustion, and Xu Yue decisively chose to put it up.
Don't think about it, sleep!
After that, he saw that he had already died a lot of brain cells today.
Scratching his head irritably, Xu Yue gave up thinking, threw his head on the pillow, ignored the noise coming from outside the door, and fell asleep peacefully.
There was no word all night, and when it was just dawn, a piercing gunshot rang out.
It also woke Xu Yue up from his sleep, he quickly opened his eyes, and his somewhat confused mind instantly regained consciousness.
The voice came from outside the door, there should be something wrong with Laura, Xu Yue immediately turned over and got out of bed.
Dragging open the cabinet at the door, Xu Yue opened the door and looked out, the sky was still a little dark outside, and the sun had just peeked out.
In the courtyard, two men dressed as mercenaries in black bulletproof suits were carrying a little girl and walking towards the gate.
Xu heard the movement of the door opening from behind, and the two of them paused and looked sideways.
The mercenary carrying Laura lightly swept the young Chinese behind him, his eyes were a little impatient, and he commanded his teammates beside him:
"Killed."
The latter immediately pulled out his gun, aimed it at the Chinese head, and fired decisively.
"Bell~"
A crisp metal crash sounded, but it wasn't the imagined headshot.
Xu Yue shook his palm, which was a little numb, and at this moment his hands had turned silver.
Looking at the mercenary in front of him who shot without saying a word, Xu Yue felt a little emotional.
This is called professionalism, this is high-quality fuel.
Three minutes later, Xu Yue had already carried Laura back to the room, and as for the two mercenaries, they could only say that they walked very peacefully, and the quality of the fire produced was good.
casually threw Laura, who was holding the back of her neck, on the bed, she was only hit by two anesthetic needles, no major problem, with her self-healing ability, she should wake up soon.
After placing Laura, Xu Yue prepared to go to the room where they lived to check it out.
Walking to the front, he glanced at the door that was obviously kicked open violently, Xu Yue sighed, not as strong as the hotel door before me.
Inside, the poor nurse who had escaped from the lab with Laura had been shot and died, and the surrounding things were in a mess that she should have been rummaged through.
Looking at the nurse's eyes that were still open even when she died, Xu Yue said softly:
"Don't worry, Laura will be safe."
Then closing her eyes, Xu Yue knew her fate, if he had stayed nearby last night or reminded him more, he might have avoided her death.
But she won't die, Logan will never drag Professor X into the water, and Xu Yue won't put momentary kindness above the task.
Just after doing all this, Xu Yue was about to leave, when a rush of running sounded came, and the broken door was slammed open, and the poor door suffered another heavy blow.
It was Laura who ran over, and she woke up faster than Xu Yue expected, and in the original plot, she should have woken up on the way to captivity, killed the two mercenaries, and then secretly got into Logan's car.
Laura stood in front of the nurse's corpse in a daze, although her face was still expressionless, her slightly trembling body made Xu Yue feel her sadness.
In Laura's life, there is no point in crying, so she doesn't use crying to express sadness.
She understands the meaning of death perfectly, she has experienced the death of many companions, and she has slaughtered the lives of many enemies.
It's just that it still can't be calm.
Looking at Laura's slightly trembling body, Xu Yue had a headache, and from his charm that was only average, it could be seen that he was not very good at comforting this kind of meticulous work.
Dryly said a word of mourning, but Laura did not react.
Just as he was hesitating to say something, the professor's gentle voice suddenly came from his brain:
"Fire, please take Laura out of here first, the person who picks her up will come soon, and then I will have someone to bury Gabry."
Gabriel El, that's the nurse's name.
"Okay."
Xu Yue exhaled and took Laura's small hand.
"Laura, it's time for us to go."
Laura's body stiffened, but she did not resist, and after taking a deep look at the nurse, she followed Xu Yue and left.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Laura thought of something and ran back to the room to retrieve her backpack and two small balls, one of which was glowing purple.
Not long after returning to the room with Laura, the sound of a car parking came from outside the hotel, and Xu Yue lifted the curtain and looked out.
A somewhat lame middle-aged man got out of the car, made a round of rounds, and walked straight to the hotel
The man was Logan, a warrior who had been fighting for nearly two hundred years, but now he was lonely, gray-haired, and in the twilight of his life both physically and mentally.
Xu Yue closed the curtain after a glance, staring too long, with Logan's beastly instinct, he would definitely be discovered.
At this time, the professor's voice came to my head again.
"Thank you very much for your help, Torch, and then Laura will leave with Logan's car, and we will take her to safety."
"We're the same kind, Professor, but Logan's situation doesn't seem to be good."
"Yes, we're all too old."
The professor's tone was a little tired, then raised again.
"But Laura, they're the new future."
"Fire, I remember that you are a mercenary, if you agree, can I hire you to escort Laura with our two old guys, but the risk is not small on the way."
Xu Yue pondered for a moment, not being too eager at this time, and then nodded.
"Of course, I happen to have no business lately, and danger is the norm for me."
After speaking, Xu Yue looked at Laura, who had already walked to the door, looked at him with some hesitation, and said with a smile:
"Go, Laura, I'll be looking for you soon."
After watching Laura quickly climb into Logan's trunk, Xu Yue closed the curtains.
Laura can only follow Rogan back in this way now, and Logan will never bring any trouble and danger to the professor's hiding place for the sake of the professor's safety.
He's lost enough, and now the professor is his only family.
It was only when the sound of a car starting outside the door sounded that Xu Yue left the window.
Removing the cabinets and chairs in the room to clear an open space, Xu Yue took out the alloy ingots that had been placed in the storage space before, and waved his hand to summon a large piece of fire.
He wants to forge a long-range weapon, and the next thing he faces is basically the pursuit of long guns and short guns, and there is no means of long-range attack, so he can only be beaten passively, which is too embarrassing.
As for firearms, he has no experience at all, and shooting is a matter of chance, all by luck.
However, as a family blacksmith, his main business is to craft all kinds of weapons and armor, and bows and arrows are also part of it.
When he was young, Xu Yue also systematically studied archery for a long time, which man didn't have a martial arts dream when he was young.
In addition, most of the elders in the family know some martial arts, so he has dabbled in riding and archery, and his talent is not bad, and the accuracy is very high within 100 meters.
After 20 minutes, Xu Yue had almost exhausted all the fire, and an iron-tired bow was successfully built.
This is a typical Han bow, about 1.4 meters long, made of alloy steel throughout, with a silver body, wisps of golden moire lingering on the bow arms, and the bowstring is made of steel wire wound with a composite material purchased yesterday.
The whole longbow looked domineering and heavy, with a faint green glow.
Xu Yue looked at it with joy and clicked on the detailed introduction of the longbow.
