The small ranch arranged by Tony, in the suburbs of New York, is hidden in a green field, ordinary and peaceful, the scenery here is fresh and natural, and people forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

The meadow ripples in the breeze, and at the edge, there is a lush and dense wood, overgrown with various weeds and shrubs, and a stream that flows through it, adding a bit of freshness to the woods. At the outermost end of the small ranch is a tall fence. It is made of pale wood, which has left mottled marks on the fence over the years.

There are also rows of white wind chimes hanging on the fence, which make a crisp and pleasant ringing whenever the wind blows. Next to the fence, there are several leisurely cattle and sheep roaming the meadow, forming a peaceful and harmonious picture.

Everyone has lived in the underground base for a long time, and when they stand in the sun, enjoying the fresh breeze, they feel relaxed, and the first thing they do after getting off the car is to lie on the soft grass of the pasture.

Laura. Kinney was no exception, she lay down in a large shape, looked up at the deep sky of the sunset, saw the moon emerge under the clusters of stars, she straightened her waist, lay down and stretched, let out a long breath, and raised the corners of her mouth in a comfortable arc.

"Looks like you're pretty happy here."

Rojo sat down next to the girl, and lately things had been going on one after another, and he was too busy to ignore Laura.

"Well, this place is better than an underground base, but."

Laura nodded, paused, and looked at the S.H.I.E.L.D. members outside the ranch fence, her black eyes showing alertness, and said, "It would be better if they could walk away." ”

"Why?"

"They smell like Eugene, not a good guy."

Laura frowned and gritted her teeth with hatred, she didn't forget that most of her friends chose to go to Canada.

Originally, she was happy that her friends could find a comfortable place to live, but now it seems that Eugene is afraid that they will be taken to the next hell.

"There are also good people in S.H.I.E.L.D., Ciel, Natasha, and Steve who have helped the base a lot, I'm sorry about your friend's matter, and we'll find them as soon as possible."

Rojo patted her on the head, blocking her view of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and said, "Leave them alone, it won't be long before they're gone." ”

At this stage, S.H.I.E.L.D. has no ill will towards the base, on the contrary, it can give them a lot of help, but the hydra that exists inside S.H.I.E.L.D. is a hidden danger, maybe find a time, give Nick. Fury reminded him of the list by the way.

It's just, even if it's given to Nick. Fury's list, is he really capable of taking out his immediate boss, Alexander. Pierce is the Minister of the Security Council, and to put it simply, Pierce is the chairman of a company, and the Security Council is the board of directors. Fury is nothing more than a CEO.

In particular, in the original book, Nick. Fury was hunted down by Pierce's men, and Steve and Natasha were also implicated, and were wanted all over the country, and finally Nick faked his death and retired, only to escape.

Thinking about it, Rojo felt that it was better to find the Mind Scepter first, and put other things aside for the time being.

"Rojo, are you free?"

Logan. Howlett walked over and touched Laura's head, and the girl shrank her head and rolled a few laps on the grass, away from the two.

"What for?"

"Go back to the tavern and get something, and send Sonia and John over for a shift by the way."

Logan shook the key to the pickup and pointed at John and Sonia behind him.

"No problem."

Rojo didn't refuse, now the tavern is in charge of John and Sonia, in addition to two people to help, a total of four people, two in a group, each group changes shifts every three days, if the person on duty has a special task, the rest of the person has to be temporarily deputed.

No way, the tavern is an important source of income for the base, and now it is not like Xavier Genius Academy more than ten years ago, with the support of Professor Charles, but fortunately, now living in the ranch, every member of the base can work, which will reduce a large part of the economic pressure.

The four of Rojo hit the road and returned to New York City, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers also left one after another, leaving only the task force nearby, even if Agent Hill said that she would trust the mutant base, in fact, she should be on guard at all, and the duplicitous woman, like her cold and ruthless face, is incomprehensible.

The Avengers, led by Tony Steve, are not so vigilant, but Banner, who came with the team for the first time, did not choose to leave, he planned to stay here for one night, because the conversation with the professor benefited him a lot, and more importantly, he hoped that the professor's telepathy could soothe the restless monster in his body.

By the time the Rojo arrived at Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, night had fallen, the sky was pitch black, and the streets were becoming less crowded with pedestrians.

The cold autumn breeze blowing through the empty streets, the empty cans on the side of the street jingle and chime, and the temperature outside makes people not want to get out of the warm air-conditioned car.

"It seems that the weather is getting colder, and there are fewer customers in the tavern at night."

Rojo and the others entered the tavern, and there were only a few customers, and after glancing at the clock on the wall, they pointed to half past nine, which used to be three times the number of customers.

"That's a good thing, John, Sonia, you can leave work early in the future, and the two of you too."

Logan. Howley sighed, rubbed his hands, and sat down at the bar, "Pour me a glass first." ”

"Uncle Wolf, don't drink, I'll have to drive later."

Rojo said that Logan had gulped down a glass and slapped it on the table.

He said, "That's just a little bit of wine, and I'm not going to get drunk." ”

"The strip's wine detector doesn't say that."

"Uncle Wolf, you seem to have gotten younger."

Sonia looked at Logan, looked carefully, and always felt that the beard on his face had obviously darkened, and there was no gray color when they first met.

"Really? It may be that my body has been getting better recently. ”

Logan liked Sonia's words very much, smiled and touched the beard on his face, and looked at Rojo on the side, "Thanks to Rojo, he helped a lot." ”

"If you really want to thank me, take your things back to the ranch first."

Rojo rolled his eyes as he watched Uncle Wolf touch his face with a narcissistic face, and the two said goodbye to John and Sonia, and got up and walked towards the tavern together.

"Uncle Wolf, you're almost two hundred years old, don't be so narcissistic."

"I'm narcissistic?"

"Don't you think?"

"Little ghost, when my face is completely young again, you won't say that."

The two walked in the dim light, Logan smiled and boasted about his appearance when he was young, he is old, but he seems to be gradually becoming more cheerful recently, maybe he is going to be younger again, and he will always recall the romantic past a hundred years ago, such as the one-night affair with the daughter of the underworld boss and the like

"Wait a minute, there's something strange about that guy in front."

Suddenly, Rojo noticed a figure in front of him, walking towards them stiffly, not fast, passing in front of them step by step.

Logan squinted and looked at the strange man passing in front of him, wearing pajamas, cotton slippers, his eyes were closed, and he frowned in pain, he was stunned, and his back was a little cold, "This person walked without opening his eyes?" ”
