Chereads / Wolverine Old Man Logan / Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: The Twilight Wolf returns home, the truth of history

Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: The Twilight Wolf returns home, the truth of history

In the early morning, mist drifts in the mountains and forests. There is no noise of cars or noisy people, only the crisp calls of birds.

Fresh air seeped into the room from the window, and Logan slept contentedly on the bed.

After many years of being on the run, he had not had such a comfortable sleep for a long time. Even the biological clock that usually wakes him up on time relaxed in this relaxing environment, allowing him to rarely sleep for a long time.

Unfortunately, such leisure time was awakened by Lorna's knock on the door, and she told Logan that it was time to go.

Victor also woke up when there was a knock on the door. They went to the cafeteria to eat a sandwich for breakfast, and then they had to set off.

Laura, who was also having breakfast in the cafeteria, noticed their movements and quickly came over and grabbed Logan's trouser legs, saying that she wanted to go too.

However, her request was rejected by Logan, who preferred the girl to stay with her friends.

Fortunately, Laura was also very sensible and did not force anything. She just asked Logan to pay attention to his safety and then went back to continue having breakfast with his friends.

When Logan and the others arrived at the large pickup truck transporting the goods, they discovered that there was an orange-haired beauty who would be accompanying them.

Sonia Simonson, codenamed Dream, can add or delete other people's memories by breathing mist from her mouth. Like the Professor, she has a rare psychic system.

It's just that her ability is obviously inferior to that of the professor.

The purchase list is very simple, including food and medicine, as well as some daily necessities on the farm.

At the same time, they also need to pull the crops from the farm to sell. At this time, the bed of the pickup truck is already filled with eggs, milk, and handmade products that everyone usually makes.

"It's back to square one."

In the main driver's seat of the large pickup truck, Logan looked at the navigation on the map on his mobile phone and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't expect that in Canada, we still have to transport goods and deliver goods."

"Stop whining and drive!"

Victor in the co-pilot looked very excited. He was obviously looking forward to this city that existed in his memory two hundred years ago. He couldn't help but say: "Alberta, we are back!"

The conversation between the two aroused the interest of Laura in the back seat. She poked her head over and asked curiously: "Uncle Wolf, have you been here before?"

Logan nodded, "To be precise, I walked out of Edmonton, Alberta, which is my hometown."

"Hey, this is where I'm from, too."

Victor couldn't help but rant, looked at Lorna and said unhappily: "Child, you should ask me."

Lorna nodded and asked curiously again: "Then do you want to go back and take a look? Later, Sonia and I can deliver the goods back first. You can take the time to go back. I will explain it to Maika, and I think he will too. "Understood."

As soon as these words came out, Logan and Victor fell silent for an instant, and their original laughter seemed to be pierced by these words.

go back?

They don't even know if Howlett Farm is still there. Maybe it has been occupied by others, or it may have been turned into a commercial residential area. In any case, it will not be what they once remembered. .

When Lorna saw their silence, she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "I'm sorry."

Only then did she remember that Logan and the others were almost two hundred years old. It was very likely that the home they knew had disappeared long ago. This topic obviously touched a sore spot for them.

"It's okay, let's go deliver the goods first."

Logan shook his head, started the pickup truck, and slowly drove out of the farm.

After so many years of operating the farm, Maika has taken care of all aspects of the business. Whether it is eggs, milk, or handmade products, there are dedicated consignors.

Logan and the others only need to drive the car there to collect the money. They don't even need to move the goods. Special workers will come to unload the goods.

Only after Lorna's explanation did Logan and Victor understand the importance of the goods on the car.

Eggs, milk, and these handmade products can be said to be the main source of income for the farm. More than 130 people in the shelter have to rely on these to make a living. Without these things, the shelter would not be able to support so many people.

Moreover, in order to hide from others, the farm of the shelter was specially set up in the mountains and forests far away from the urban area. It was very remote. After driving for more than two hours, we finally arrived in the urban area of ​​Edmonton.

Alberta is the province and Edmonton is the city within the province.

In the car, Logan looked at the tall buildings in the city and the cars passing by on the road, and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

"It's changed a lot. It's completely different from the Edmonton I remember."

Logan looked at the bustling city and couldn't help but sigh. When he left, most of the houses here were no more than two stories. The roads were dirt roads that became very muddy when it rained. The main means of transportation on the road were horse-drawn carriages. .

In just two hundred years, this place has completely become a modern city, completely erasing all his memories of this city.

"In two hundred years, the changes here can be said to be earth-shaking."

Victor also expressed emotion. The city no longer looked familiar to them. Even the hills and woods that had once been there had been razed to the ground for the development of the city, and tall buildings were built on them.

Lorna and Sonia in the back seat obviously couldn't understand the current temperament of these two old antiques, and could only shake their heads helplessly.

Under Lorna's guidance, Logan found the merchant who received the goods. After selling the goods in the car, Logan drove to the shopping mall where he purchased.

"There are a lot of things that need to be purchased today. If we act together, it may be too late. We have to purchase them separately."

Lorna looked at McCarroll's list and felt a little headache.

Logan looked at the list and said, "Let's do the shopping separately. Just tell us where to find these things."

Anyway, this is Canada, so the danger is not that high. In addition, Lorna's fighting ability is not weak, so it is unlikely that there will be any danger if they separate.

Lorna nodded, "That's all we have to do now."

After saying that, she tore off a section of the list and handed it to Logan, "These are the medicines needed by the shelter. You can find them at the pharmacy one kilometer away. Maika has already said hello to the pharmacy and will follow the list. Sonia and I went to buy daily necessities and food, and we gathered here an hour and a half later."

"Well, okay."

Logan took the list, looked at it, and nodded in agreement.

Lorna and Sonia turned and entered the mall and began to purchase the items they needed on the list.

While Logan and Victor drove to the pharmacy.

As Lorna said, the process of buying medicine is very simple. After the people in the pharmacy knew that it was from Macca, they took the list and prepared it.

However, the staff told them that the pharmacy was too busy today and it would take an hour to prepare the medicines.

"We can't wait here for an hour."

Victor stood at the door of the pharmacy, kicking away the stones at his feet out of boredom.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Logan took out a cigarette, lit it, and blew out smoke rings in response.

"Let's go have a drink. I just saw a nice-looking pub on the road."

Victor pointed to a tavern in the distance with an excited proposal.

"Not going."

Logan knew that two drunkards would definitely get drunk when they entered the pub, and he didn't want to get into trouble because of drinking.

"Just have a couple of drinks and you'll be fine."

Victor looked pleading, "Besides, don't you want to savor the specialties and drinks from your hometown?"

Logan wanted to continue to refuse, but the memory of Wolverine in his mind was slightly touched by Victor's words.

Feeling the fluctuation of the memory deep in his mind, Logan hesitated, nodded and said: "Okay, let's try it and see if it tastes the same as before."

After hearing this, Victor couldn't wait to get in the car, took the initiative to take on the task of driving, and drove Logan to the pub he just saw.

This is a tavern with a very gorgeous sign. The fonts on the sign are painted with a layer of gold paint. Under the sunlight, they reflect a rich golden color.

After Victor parked the car, he eagerly opened the door and entered the pub.

Because it was the weekend, the pub was very lively. Many people were holding wine glasses and talking loudly in the pub. There were only a few seats left in the huge pub.

The staff in the tavern also turned on all the colored lights to provide a drinking atmosphere in the broad daylight.

The bartender in front of the bar kept waving the mixing glass and showing off a very handsome bartending technique, which attracted a group of girls to look fascinated.

After Logan and the two found a seat and sat down, the waiter enthusiastically greeted them and handed out the menu.

Victor took it with excitement, looked at the densely packed dish names, selected a few dishes in his memory, and ordered two more bottles of wine.

Soon, the food and wine were served, and both Logan and Victor couldn't wait to take a bite.

"Fortunately, not much has changed. It still feels the same as before."

Victor chewed the food in his mouth with a satisfied look on his face. Then he couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and took a sip. He said excitedly: "This wine also tastes like before. It's not bad at all. Try it quickly."

Logan took a sip helplessly and said with a bitter look on his face: "When I left with you, I hadn't learned how to drink yet."

When Wolverine left here, he was only thirteen years old, and his memory of the taste of wine in his hometown was completely blank.

"I drank it secretly, and it tasted just like it does now. But I was discovered and my legs were almost broken."

Victor held the wine glass with a smile, savoring the aroma of the wine in his mouth and reminiscing about the past.

Logan also smiled, shook his head and said, "It's been almost two hundred years, thank you for still remembering."

"How could you forget?"

Victor took a sip of wine and said with emotion, "No matter what, we will walk out from here." After a pause, he glanced at Logan, "Have you forgotten?"

"How is that possible?"

It's just that nearly two hundred years have passed, and when they come back, this place is no longer what they are familiar with.

Now, only these drinks and meals are left to allow them to touch the ancient memory fragments in the deepest part of their memory.

With some emotion, the two finished the food and wine, paid and were about to leave.

But the door was suddenly knocked open, and a group of heavily armed special police officers rushed in.

Their posture instantly frightened the group of drinking guests in the tavern, and they all couldn't help but exclaim.

The waiter also hurriedly turned off the colorful lights and turned on all the headlights, making the entire tavern completely bright.

"The picket team is handling the case, but no one is allowed to move!"

The SWAT captain held up his ID and shouted at the panicked people.

Everyone was so frightened that they sat where they were, looking at the posture of these people and not daring to move at all.

Logan and Victor stood in front of the bar, looking at the pickets. The fists hidden behind them were clenched, and the steel claws between their fingers were ready to move.

I didn't expect these guys to come to your door so quickly!

Victor also had a gloomy look on his face, standing next to Logan, with his hands open and his fingers hard, and the originally normal nails slowly became sharp.

The SWAT officers rushed into the tavern and quickly controlled all the doors and windows of the tavern.

But what surprised Logan was that these guys didn't seem to be coming for them. Even if they ran past them, they didn't notice at all that they were the two mutants on the wanted list. Instead, they were rummaging through every corner of the tavern. , seems to be looking for something.

Seeing this, Logan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time patted Victor to relax.

Bang!

At this time, a smaller figure suddenly jumped out of the crowd, as fast as a little cheetah.

"Get him!"

The picket captain looked panicked, pointed at the little figure and shouted loudly.

Logan looked carefully and realized that it was a girl. She looked young and her face was full of panic.

The two special police officers guarding the back door were ready to pounce on the little girl with open hands.

But she suddenly tore apart the space, passed through the guards, and ran straight into the alley by the back door.

"Teleportation mutant?"

Victor looked at the ability that the girl had just displayed in surprise, and determined the nature of her mutant ability.

Logan also looked at the space that had returned to its original state with a surprised look on his face.

The teleportation system is a very rare ability. I didn't expect to encounter it here.

But it's obvious that this girl hasn't mastered the ability yet, and the distance she can teleport is not very long.

"Hurry up and chase after me!"

The captain of the picket team yelled loudly, and a group of special police officers rushed out to find the direction in which the girl fled.

The captain of the picket team and the other two team members continued to guard the tavern, shouting at everyone: "Don't mess around, you can only leave after signing the confidentiality agreement!"

But just now, the little girl's use of her mutant powers was seen by everyone, which instantly frightened many people and turned the entire tavern into a mess.

"Let's go!"

While the pickets were controlling the chaotic crowd in the tavern, Logan quickly pulled Victor out the door and quickly got into the car and fled.

"Leave directly?"

In the car, Victor looked at Logan in surprise.

"have no idea."

Logan knew that Victor was talking about the little mutant girl, but now he was also very confused.

If the little girl is rescued in public, there will definitely be some traces left, and his traces, even the traces of the shelter, will be discovered.

But if you don't save...

I couldn't bear it, because the child was very young.

Bang!

While Logan was deep in thought, a figure suddenly rushed out of the alley and hit the side of the moving car heavily.

The sudden impact shocked Logan. He quickly looked in the rearview mirror and saw that it was the little girl from before.

Behind her, the group of pickets were chasing after her quickly.

When Logan saw this, he didn't have time to think too much. He slapped the steering wheel hard and shouted to the girl: "Get in the car quickly!"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, but after taking a look at the pickets behind her, she didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly opened the door and climbed into the back seat of the pickup truck.

Logan stepped on the accelerator without hesitation, and the car sped away.

When the pickets at the rear saw this, they quickly got into the car and chased after him.

"Thanks."

The little girl looked at the picket vehicles behind with lingering fear and sincerely thanked Logan.

[Prestige +10]

Logan noticed the change in the data on the panel. After being slightly stunned, he said with a smile: "It's okay."

While talking, he kept looking carefully at the girl's face through the rearview mirror.

Only then did I realize that this child was obviously an Asian, with yellow skin but long purple hair, a very delicate face, slender ears, and weird purple pupils. He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and looked well-behaved.

"It seems that we can only inform Lorna and the others to get the medicine and go back first. Those guys are really chasing after us like dogs chasing meat."

Victor looked in the rearview mirror and saw the police car roaring with its siren and chasing after him.

"Let's leave the city first and let John send someone to pick up Lorna and the others."

Logan stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the city.

You must get rid of these guys or deal with them. In short, you must not let them follow you to find the location of the shelter.

Meanwhile, another city in Alberta.

In the laboratory, Hill was looking at the bones, and suddenly the phone rang like crazy.

After she connected, an anxious report came to her ears: "Report, Wolverine has appeared, right in Edmonton, and they rescued a little mutant who was captured by the pickets!"

Listening to the report on the phone, the woman looked shocked and sternly said: "Watch Wolverine, I will bring people to support immediately!"

Hill didn't expect that he was originally mainly investigating the New Mutants, the guy who melted the picket team. The case is currently codenamed "Incineration", but he didn't expect to find Wolverine first.

"Walk."

She waved her hand to call for the Quinjet, but she didn't realize that the call was intercepted in New York, USA.

"Watch Wolverine, I will bring people to support immediately." Hill's voice came clearly from the loudspeaker, and her conversation with the agent was clearly heard by Steve.

After Hill hung up the phone, Steve smiled deeply and said, "Thanks, Jarvis."

"You're welcome, Captain."

Jarvis' mechanical voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Hey, you should thank me."

Tony, who was sitting on the other end of the sofa, curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Steve smiled, stood up, took a deep breath and said, "I'll thank you after I finish the things in front of me and find him."

"Who is he that makes you care so much?"

Tony was curious.

"I'm just trying to find out what I really want."

Steve let out a long sigh and shook his head tiredly.

"What truth?"

"A piece of historical truth. It seems that after I deal with the Hydra matter, I have to go to Canada in person." After Steve finished speaking, he turned around and left Tony's residence.

"what ever."

Tony shrugged, then seemed to think of something, and reminded Steve's back: "By the way, remember to turn on positioning, so that we can't find anyone when you fall into the Arctic Ocean again."
