American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants
Chapter 60: Reunion at the Border
Late at night, the car shuttled through the woods. The quiet woods were awakened by the bright headlights, and the forest birds fluttered and took off.
Logan sat in the middle of the back seat. Charles on the left leaned his head against the window and fell asleep. Laura on the right rested her head on Logan's arm and also fell asleep.
There was silence in the carriage, without any sound.
Logan also closed his eyes and leaned back on the soft chair, but he did not fall asleep. The data panel flashed in front of his eyes.
After the battle just now, the prestige value has increased a lot, and now it has risen to 60 points.
This had to make Logan sigh once again. It was indeed much easier to gain prestige points from his own race.
Although 60 points of prestige is not enough for him to awaken new abilities, Logan feels that it is not too far off.
The last time he awakened his heat vision, his prestige value exceeded the 10-point threshold.
Even though he didn't know the specific values of these thresholds, he could vaguely feel that the required prestige points should not be too much.
Moreover, he is about to go to a gathering place for mutants. There are many mutants there. As long as he gains prestige from them, it will only be a matter of time before he awakens to new skills.
Looking back from the prestige column, Logan looked at the free points and enhancement points again.
This time, the two points have also increased a lot. The free points currently have 6 points, while the enhancement points have 4 points.
Without any hesitation, Logan directly added all 4 enhancement points to the self-healing factor.
As the self-healing factor increased, Logan faintly noticed that the injuries on his body suddenly became much lighter.
When dealing with the pursuit of Dr. Rice's group of mercenaries just now, he had to bear a lot of bullets. Although the wounds had initially healed, the stinging pain of tearing was still a bit unbearable.
But now, as the points increase, a feeling of pleasure suddenly comes up and down the body, and the heart-wrenching pain finally slows down.
This made him couldn't help but let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of joy.
This battle was well fought!
Not only did it solve the big problem of Dr. Rice, but it also allowed various points to be replenished to a certain extent. It was indeed killing two birds with one stone.
After suppressing the joy in his heart for a moment, Logan set his sights on the final freedom point.
After some hesitation, Logan decided to continue collecting the freedom points.
This thing is a good choice for emergency use. It is better not to mobilize it easily unless necessary.
If there are still strong enemies, these points may be able to give unexpected effects and even turn the situation around.
Logan put away the panel and glanced at the still dark sky, just about to close his eyes and take a rest.
But I found that the little head on the right shoulder moved.
Laura didn't know when she woke up, staring at herself with a pair of watery eyes.
Logan showed his little face, reached out and rubbed the girl's head, and said softly: "Sleep a little longer, you can see your friend when you wake up."
Hearing the word friend, Laura didn't feel too much happiness in her eyes. She just nodded and reached out to touch Logan's body. She could feel that there was a lot hidden under this newly put on clothes. Bullet holes that haven't completely healed yet.
"It's okay, it'll be fine in two days."
Logan comforted the girl softly, telling her not to worry about herself.
Laura nodded silently and retracted her palm, with some distress still shining in her eyes.
Logan chuckled and continued to rub the girl's hair, "Rest, as long as we cross the border, we can be peaceful for a while."
After saying that, he breathed a deep sigh of relief and turned to look out the window at the deep woods passing by.
Once outside the border, the US government's coercion on them can be greatly reduced. Even SHIELD and the Avengers cannot cross the border to arrest themselves at will.
At that time, he would be able to relax a little more.
Just as Logan was thinking, a childish voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Logan."
"Um?"
Logan turned around suddenly, looked down at Laura's delicate face, and asked in disbelief: "Did you just speak?"
He was sure that he was not hallucinating. There was indeed a young voice calling his name softly just now.
And in the entire carriage, Laura was the only one who could make such a sound.
"Um."
Laura nodded, once again confirming the fact that she could speak.
Logan's eyes widened, a little unbelievable, Laura was finally willing to speak.
He knew that the girl was a little autistic and was usually silent towards outsiders, even in front of outsiders. When Gabriela left before, she just waved her hand.
What happened in the back seat was also heard by Caliban in the passenger seat. He turned around suddenly and stared at Laura in astonishment, "You can actually talk?"
He thought there was something wrong with Laura's voice. After all, clones would have some physical problems. For example, x-24 was a wild wolf with low intelligence and developed animalistic nature.
But now that he heard Laura speak, he instantly felt like he had been cheated.
Laura ignored Caliban, but still stared at Logan, put her arms around him, put her head on his chest, and whispered: "Thank you."
Logan was stunned, knowing that the girl was thanking him for protecting her along the way.
He smiled and rubbed Laura's hair, "Don't be polite to me, I promised you and Gabriela that I will take you to the Garden of Eden."
Lola suddenly raised her head, staring at her big watery eyes, and asked worriedly: "Will you leave?"
She knew that the destination this time was just a rendezvous point. When the time came, she would cross the border with other friends and rush to the Garden of Eden in Canada.
If Logan only sent her to the rendezvous point according to the agreement with Gabriela, Logan's mission would be completed, and he would part ways with her at that time.
But she was a little afraid of being separated from Logan after accompanying him all the way. For some reason, she was already full of dependence on this father who she had only known for a few days.
"You don't want me to leave?" Logan saw the panic in the girl's eyes.
Lola nodded seriously, "I hope you can accompany me."
Logan chuckled and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will always protect you."
He rubbed the girl's hair soothingly.
Getting the promise, Lola finally smiled, leaned on Logan's arm, and closed her eyes at ease.
…
The car drove from the dark night to the early morning, and then from the early morning to the evening. After running all the way, the vehicle drove out of the forest and stopped in front of a Gobi Desert.
"We are here, right here."
Victor untied the car and turned off the engine. The Gobi Desert outside the window was the location on the coordinates.
Logan pulled Laura's hand and got out of the car. Looking at the deserted Gobi Desert, he didn't see a single person, so he lowered his head and asked, "Do you know where they are?"
"It should be nearby."
Laura carried her small schoolbag, put her palm on her forehead, and looked around.
Caliban, who was fully armed to block the sun, sniffed and pointed to the top of a cliff in the Gobi Desert, "It should be there."
His ability is to search for mutants. As long as there are mutants alive nearby, he can accurately find their location.
Several people looked in the direction pointed by Caliban, and saw a watchtower standing on the top of the cliff. They could faintly see a few figures on the watchtower looking down at this side.
After a while, a very simple wooden platform on the edge of the cliff was lowered by a manpower crane, and a girl stood on the platform.
Laura saw the girl clearly and ran over excitedly, "Rebecca!"
"Laura, it's really you!"
Rebecca jumped down from the platform and hugged Laura with a look of surprise.
"It seems that our mission is completed."
Logan smiled at their reunion and lit a cigarette with relief.
The smoke floated in the night and was blown away by the wind in a moment.
