010: Compromising with life
When he first planned to go to Uncle Wolf, Rojo was mentally prepared, knowing that Uncle Wolf would definitely agree.
Sure enough, not long after returning home, an unfamiliar number called, it was Logan. Howlett, the teenager was not surprised at all.
Today's Logan. Howlett is not what he used to be, he is willing to do a lot for money, and even Wolverine can't do an inch without money, especially in this world full of threats and discrimination against mutants.
The next day, Uncle Wolf arrives as promised, and arrives at the remote warehouse, which is a new warehouse to the south, not the location where it was previously attacked.
"Uncle Wolf, I'm glad you came."
Rojo himself was waiting for Uncle Wolf at the door, and when he saw him coming, he greeted him.
Logan. Howlett was still wearing a suit, the one with some hair oil, and he said, "We've agreed that it's 10,000 dollars, and we can't lose a cent, otherwise... I'm not sure what's going to happen either. ”
"Money is not a problem, this is a deposit from the boss."
Rojosse gave Uncle Wolf a stack of money and said, "The remaining half will be paid after the deed." ”
"Hmm."
Logan. Howlett put away the dollar bill, sat in the passenger seat of the van, and didn't ask too many questions.
When I talked on the phone last night, I made it clear that the content of this work is to be responsible for escorting the goods safely in place, and after that, there will be no more intersections.
"Jerill, you take the pickup."
Rojo got into the driver's seat of the truck and looked at a young man behind him, it was Jeryll, the guide sent by Sherman.
"No problem, I'll open the way ahead."
Jeryll waved his hand and drove the pickup out of the warehouse area first.
Seeing this, Rojo in the rear drove to keep up with the pickup, this time there were Sherman's people to open the way, and the teenager did not have to worry about being checked for his driver's license in the city.
"How long have you been in Santa Fe?"
Logan. Howlett asked.
"It's about half a month."
Rojo is happy to chat with Uncle Wolf more, only in this way can he get to know the frustrated superhero better.
"It's only been half a month since I hooked up with Sherman, it seems that I was a little worried about you before, you can take care of yourself."
Logan. Howlett chuckled.
"I was just lucky to have been hiding for a long time. Zang, living a subversive life of exile. ”
Rojo opened up and said, "I encountered three mutant shelters, and unfortunately, all of them were destroyed by government personnel, and my friends were unfortunately captured. ”
"I'm sorry."
Logan. Hearing this, Howlett looked at the boy distressedly.
"You don't have to say sorry."
There was no sadness on Rojo's face, more flatness, "For more than ten years, I have become accustomed to it, day after day, year after year. ”
He paused and said, "Since the last time I joined the mutant shelter, it was three years ago, I only remember that there is no one in the shelter who really has the ability to protect themselves, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is no danger at all, but those people still did not give up the arrest operation and captured everyone on the grounds of endangering public safety."
I knew that even if I lived a normal life, I would be charged with a trumped-up crime. ”
"I... Sorry......"
Logan. Howlett took a deep breath and whispered.
"You don't have to ......"
Luo Huo just said, but saw Uncle Wolf's eyes red, and some tears appeared.
"I'll sleep for a while, and I'll drive at night."
Logan. Howlett turned his back, curled up in his chair, looked out the window, and for a long time, chose to close his eyes.
He was really sorry, because if it weren't for the X-Men's loss, it probably wouldn't have gotten so bad.
The X-Men and the Academy, which would have had a chance to change everything.
In the end, nothing but despair was found.
Now he can't do anything but apologize, he can't even stretch out his steel claws, and even self-protection is a problem.
When an old wolf, deprived of its sharp claws and beastly instincts, he can only hide incognito in an abandoned factory, living a life of stealth, fantasizing that he can save enough money to hide in a no-man's land for the rest of his life.
"Hmm."
Logan looked at Uncle Wolf's back, felt his mood swings, and wanted to tell him that the situation could change at the moment.
As long as you cheer up, the old wolf can also polish its steel claws.
Those mutants of the old era and the new era, are waiting for redemption, waiting to be freed from their cages.
However, Rojo did not speak, and now is not the time.
He knew that it was not so easy to cure a person's heart disease, not to mention that Uncle Wolf had been in a slump for many years, and all he had in his heart was despair, Uncle Wolf just wanted to escape the suffocating reality.
To be honest, Rojo had similar thoughts, the new era was too suffocating for mutants......
However, it was this environment that gave him more ideas, and the person who lived in the shadows was not necessarily himself.
"Hoo ......"
Rojo opened the window, blowing the wind, and looked at the three marks that appeared on his arm, corresponding to three different mutant abilities, glowing with a faint shimmer, as if containing endless potential......
God has given him the opportunity to change, and he will not let it go......
