Chapter 9: The Journey

Inside the dilapidated shelter, the original battlefield has been turned into a sea of fire.

Xu Yue, who gave up absorbing the fire, chose to completely detonate the fire generated by 11 people, which caused such an exaggerated fire covering most of the shelter.

Fierce flames roared and leaped in the air, dividing everyone into pieces, and everyone was fleeing in the direction of the fire, while a luxury car ran away from everyone and galloped away in the direction of the fiercest flames.

As the front of the car approached the wall of fire, the purple flames in front of it parted as if consciously, forming a cavity just large enough for the vehicle to penetrate, and it was only after the vehicle had driven that it returned to its original state.

"Damn."

In the rear, Donald, who watched Logan and the others leave, scolded angrily, but he was helpless, he didn't dare to risk crossing the fire to chase him, and now the team was in a mess, and a small number of people chased after him, just to deliver food.

Looking at the surging purple flames in front of him, his heart was on fire again, and his remaining left hand slammed on the car door on the side.

"Damn mutants! Where did this archer come from. ”

"Find out what that archer is all about."

After a few minutes, the flames in the sky had disappeared completely, as if it had appeared suddenly, and it had disappeared very suddenly.

After integrating the team, Donald also noticed that something was wrong, none of the players present died in the fire, and there were not even the slightest traces of burns on his body.

The only losses in the fire were the few armored vehicles that could not be moved at the time, most of their metal armor had turned to charred powder, while non-metallic materials such as the exposed seats were unscathed.

The flames that had not been absorbed and transformed by Xu Yue still reacted to the metal, but it lost its refining effect, and completely melted and decomposed the metal into coke powder.

"It's been tricked, shouldn't this thing do no harm to living lifeforms, but only have an effect on metal?"

In the middle of the crowd, Donald, who was touching the broken armored car, was sinking like water.

It was true that the heat had not been felt when the flames were raging before, but no one noticed this detail in the chaos.

Or that the scene of the corpse that was used as an ignition at that time turned into charred powder in the flames was so horrific that no one wanted to risk their lives even if they noticed it.

"Boss, do you still want to chase?"

A subordinate asked cautiously on the side.

"Chase a fart, a bunch of shit."

Donald, who was interrupted from his thoughts, scolded impatiently, with the speed of Logan's drag racing, now the ghost knows where to run, and what to chase when the direction is not clear.

After scolding, Donald ignored the submissive subordinates next to him, turned around and walked backwards, it was more important for him to deal with the broken right arm now.

However, this encounter was not for nothing, and he captured a mutant who lived with Logan and the Professor, Caliban, before the siege.

When Logan went out to run a taxi to make money, the task of taking care of the professor was that Caliban was in charge, he had the ability to locate all mutants, and with him in his hands, Logan and the others couldn't run, including the archer.

Donald's teeth creaked at the thought of the arrow that pierced his right arm.

"It doesn't matter who you are, you can't run."

…………

In the middle of the wilderness, a black car drove down the highway at high speed, kicking up billowing smoke and dust all the way behind.

It had been more than ten minutes since he left the fire, and Logan, who had been driving at high speed, was relieved and sure that the mercenaries had not caught up.

Slowing down a bit, Logan looked at the Chinese sitting next to him.

"Who are you?"

Xu Yue stopped looking out the window and replied to Logan, "Fire, a mercenary." ”

"Thank you." Looking at Xu Yue's unfamiliar eyebrows, Luo Gen was sure that he had not crossed paths with the other party, and after briefly thanking him, he continued to ask:

"But...... Why help us? ”

The simple answer obviously didn't make Logan let go of his doubts, and his years on the run had made him wary of any stranger, even if they were mutants.

"No, the professor hired me to escort Laura, it's just my duty, and I'm friends with Laura." As he spoke, Xu Yue greeted the professor and Laura in the back seat.

"Charles?"

Rogan turned his head to look at Professor X in the back seat, and the professor just smiled at Rogan and continued to babble with Laura beside him.

"Well, thank you this time."

"Logan."

Seeing Logan driving with one hand and preparing to shake hands with the other, Xu Yue didn't care, and also stretched out his right hand to shake Logan.

"Torch."

"Where's your bow?"

In addition to Donald, Logan was also very impressed by Xu Yue's arrow.

"A little trick."

As he spoke, Xu Yue flipped his hand, took out a large piece of chocolate out of thin air, and handed it to Laura in the back seat.

Looking at the professor, who was a little excited to see the chocolate, he then took out another piece and handed it to the professor.

"Professor, would you like a piece?"

"Thanks, I miss the taste, Logan never thought of bringing me some dessert back."

The professor happily took it and complained about Logan.

"Hey Charles, I'm here!"

"And you're not old enough to eat too many sweets."

Logan, who was driving, couldn't help but defend himself, but the professor behind him ignored it and just nibbled on the chocolate with Laura.

Sweeping his gaze to Luo Gen, who was a little depressed beside him, Xu Yue smiled and took out another piece, he had prepared a lot of this thing.

"Do you want a piece? Logan. ”

"No, I have this."

Logan took out a cigar out of nowhere and gestured to Xu Yue.

"Logan, there's a kid in the car."

The professor behind him suddenly spoke, Rogan glanced at Laura behind him, hesitated for a moment, then put down the cigar and took the chocolate in Xu Yue's hand.

"Thank you."

The car suddenly fell silent, except for the sound of people eating silently.

"Logan, where are we going now?"

"North University Kota."

North Cota is a place in the central west of the United States, and the location of Laura's Garden of Eden, located on the border between the United States and Canada, sparsely populated, and they are still in Mexico, not yet in the territory of the United States.

The journey was a long journey across the entire country.

After a day's trek, they crossed the border at dark and reached Oklahoma's capital.

A bustling city.

On the way, except for Laura, who had some disputes in the supermarket because she had no concept of shopping, there was no other trouble.

And Logan and Charles are also on the way, and from the dead nurse's mobile phone, they learn about Laura's origin, a child conceived in the laboratory through Logan's genes.

Physically, Laura is Logan's daughter, even if they only met for the first time today, but Logan has no idea of recognizing each other, and he is very resistant.

The modern city is always gorgeous at night, and the glamour of the high-rise buildings is particularly eye-catching, at least for Laura.

As soon as she entered the city, she leaned on the window of her car and watched, and the only thing she used to see was the white light of the laboratory.

The professor on the side looked at Laura with loving eyes, and he always had the greatest patience and kindness to the child, who is the future of everything.

"We're going to find a hotel for a night's rest for the time being, and I'll change cars the next morning before we set off, and we're in a damaged car and it's easy to be tracked."

Logan, who was driving, told Xu Yue on the side about the current plan, in the current team, the professor is old, Laura is young, and the only one who can make up his mind is the two of them, they are now teammates, and Xu Yue's combat power during the day has also won his respect.

"I'm fine, it's time for a good night's rest."

Xu Yue shrugged his shoulders and said that he had no opinion.

Moments later, the car stopped in front of a hotel, and the group got out of the car, and Rogan threw the key to the doorman at the door, and pushed the professor's wheelchair straight away.

The doorman behind him looked at the dense craters on the side of the car and was a little stunned, this luxury car had eaten a lot of bullets on the previous battlefield and on the way to escape.
