In the bathroom, the mist was rising. Logan wiped the water stains on his body with a towel, stood in front of the mirror, stretched out his hand to scrape away the water mist on the mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror.
The strong muscles on his body looked very wild, and all the bullet holes on his body had disappeared. The skin that had become loose before was now compact again.
It is hard to imagine that two days ago, this body was full of bullet holes, but thanks to the repair of the self-healing factor, it has now completely recovered as before. This also shows that the recovery ability of the self-healing factor has gradually returned to its peak state. .
Many of the wrinkles on his face have also disappeared, with only one or two unclear wrinkles remaining in the corners of his eyes. This face now looks like he is only forty years old at most. There is no trace of aging anymore, but instead he looks like a man in his prime. of vitality.
The messy hair on the head is also becoming rosy day by day, and the white hair is turning black day by day. Now it is almost invisible. Only by pulling out the hairline can you vaguely find a few white hairs among the black hair.
The self-healing factors gradually recovered and continued to repair his body. The aging cells seemed to be re-energized. The word "old" was constantly saying goodbye and striding away from this body.
Logan looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
It's good to be young again, it allows him to accomplish many feats that he has never accomplished before.
But if he returns to his youthful state so quickly, the recovery of his self-healing factor will most likely not be concealed. Just by looking at the changes in his appearance during this period, you can guess the secret of his self-healing factor.
Logan smiled bitterly, wiped the water drops on his face, changed into a set of clean clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.
Victor was sitting on the coffee table, playing with the mechanical watch that Logan brought back. When he saw Logan coming out, he said dissatisfiedly: "I also participated in the operation, and Macca only gave you the watch. It's so partial!"
"If you want it, just wear it."
Logan said with an indifferent expression. He had never been interested in these decorative things. He would wear them if he had them. If he didn't have them, he wouldn't think about it or force them.
"don't want."
Victor threw the watch to Logan with a look of disgust, "I don't like this kind of junk worth hundreds of dollars."
Logan took it and put it on directly and said with a smile: "I feel good."
The dark green dial looks very textured, the exquisite metal strap and the ticking hands have the charm of a successful person.
Victor rolled his eyes aside.
At this moment, the door opened and Caliban pushed the professor back into the living room.
"Back."
Logan greeted the two of them with a smile and asked, "How's it going? Is the teaching going well?"
Charles smiled and nodded repeatedly, "It's much simpler than I thought. The children are very eager to learn and have great ideas. Everyone has lofty ideals."
Having said this, the professor couldn't help but show a kind look, recalling the scenes of those children listening intently in class, as if he saw the hope of mutants right in front of him.
Caliban then added: "Those children are very idealistic, much like the professors when they were young. They think mutants can get along well with humans, but I feel that this is too ideal, at least in the short term."
When Charles heard this, he fell into silence and did not speak.
"Having ideals is a good thing."
Logan just smiled and said, "In the future, their ideals will become reality."
Suddenly, he thought of something and took the initiative to speak: "In addition, SHIELD may know about the recovery of my self-healing factor. During this encounter with them, they all saw the changes in my appearance and the fact that my body was hit by bullets. The speed of self-healing after Zhonghou cannot be hidden for too long. "
People in SHIELD are not all idiots. As long as they review the battle process, Hill will definitely quickly deduce that Logan's self-healing factor has been restored.
"Just discover it, it's inevitable."
Charles shook his head helplessly.
After all, the effect of the self-healing factor is passive, and it will also repair Logan's old appearance, which cannot be hidden at all.
After finishing speaking, Charles suddenly became serious, stared at Logan and ordered: "But except for the self-healing factor, other abilities must not be exposed, otherwise it will be completely ruined, and those guys will spare no effort to find you."
After the self-healing factor is restored, at most it means that Logan's X gene has broken through the suppression of genetically modified foods. This only shows that Logan's X gene is relatively tenacious and will not attract much attention.
But once the new ability is exposed, it will let all laboratory organizations know that the X gene in Logan's body is evolving.
Once this news leaks out, the entire biological laboratory related to mutant research will go completely crazy, and all major government departments will go all out.
At that time, Logan really wanted to fight against the entire country with his own strength.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Logan nodded, and then said with cold eyes: "If I have to be exposed, I will not let anyone leave alive."
After finally arriving at the mutant shelter, he didn't want to give up these relatively peaceful days easily.
While they were talking, Caliban kept staring at Logan's wrist and looking at the watch.
After the conversation between the two ended, he exclaimed with a look of surprise: "An Omega watch? This is not cheap. Logan, where did you steal it from?"
Because he had been in the black market, he recognized the brand of this watch at a glance. Among mechanical watches, Omega is definitely one of the familiar brands.
He looked at it carefully and said, "This watch is worth at least a thousand dollars. It looks really good."
"Sent from Micah."
Logan was a little uncomfortable and covered his watch with his long sleeves.
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Logan opened the door and it was Lorna Dane. The girl smiled and said, "The campfire party is about to start. Do you want to join?"
"Campfire party?"
Logan was slightly surprised.
Lorna nodded and said: "It's very lively. Maika said that new people entering the shelter should try to participate."
Logan was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he glanced at Caliban and the others behind him and said with a smile: "Let's go."
…
The sky completely fell into darkness, and the sky was filled with stars. Lorna strode ahead to lead the way, with Logan and Victor following behind, and Caliban pushing the professor on the other side.
In fact, there was no need for Lorna to lead the way. As soon as he went out, Logan saw dazzling firelight blooming in the center of the farm in the distance, and there were faint sounds of children's laughter.
Lorna explained with a smile: "The campfire party is an event specially organized by Maika. It is held every two weeks. Everyone plays around the fireflies, chats together, eats snacks and looks at the stars. It is very lively, mainly because Used to promote feelings between everyone and enliven the atmosphere of the shelter."
Logan listened and nodded repeatedly.
Although the shelter is good, it is quite isolated and secluded. Many people would not be able to bear it if there were no activities like this to enrich their entertainment.
Such activities can also make more people feel a sense of belonging to the shelter, and allow some children who have been away from their families since childhood to feel the warmth of home again.
"Micah is really an excellent leader. There are not many leaders who can think about others like this."
Caliban had a look of emotion on his face. Looking at the grand bonfire in the distance, his expression suddenly became very enjoyable.
There is no danger here, no damn high temperature and blazing sunshine, and there is a leader like Micah who is willing to consider every detail of life. For him, this is simply like heaven!
Victor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said jokingly: "How many days have you known him? It's like you want to dedicate your back door to him."
"Shut up, I'm just appreciating other people's talents!"
Caliban heard the irony in the words.
"White ghost, I really think you should knock on his door after taking a shower. Maybe he has already fallen in love with you?" Victor still kept talking.
Listening to what the two said, Logan patted his head with a headache, "Can't you two say something nutritious? Lorna is still young."
Victor was silent, but Caliban was dissatisfied, "He was the one who spoke first!"
Lorna didn't pay attention, but instead covered her mouth and snickered, because Caliban talked too much like that in the past two days.
Soon, several people came to the middle of the farm.
A square was opened here, with firewood piled in the middle, burning with blazing flames. The orange fire looked very bright in this dark environment. Logan pushed the professor to a quiet place and stared at the scene around the fire.
The children held hands and jumped around the fire, while the older ones sat in front of the barbecue stove next to the campfire, with the fragrant meat skewers constantly turning over the grill.
The long table on the other side is filled with a variety of snacks and drinks that are readily available, as well as beer for adults.
People laughed freely beside the fire, and the orange bonfire hit their faces, seeming to cast a bright golden halo on everyone.
The childish laughter of the children was like a soft musical note, which made the professor's lips irrepressible and his eyes filled with relief.
"Professor, this is what you want, right?"
Maika didn't know when he appeared next to everyone, and he looked at the warm scene illuminated by the fire with fascination.
"Peace, tranquility, and happiness are all what I want to see in them."
Charles nodded, as if he wished that time would freeze here. They were in the shelter, enjoying the peace and joy that belonged only here.
However, Maika let out a long breath and sighed: "But it is not easy to do all this, and my goal does not stop there."
"oh?"
Charles looked over in surprise and became interested: "Can you tell me about your lofty ambitions?"
Maika looked up at the bright stars in the sky, "My ideal is very simple, so that everyone can no longer live an ignoble existence, everyone can get the fairest treatment, we no longer have to hide around, no longer have to be afraid, we can live like this every day It's like tonight, gather around the campfire, abandon all worries, and just enjoy safety and happiness."
Charles looked at Maika, who was looking up at the bright starry sky, his face full of determination.
"A lofty ideal."
Charles also sighed with emotion.
"Maybe I'm not in the wrong place."
Logan muttered that Maika was very courageous, but these things were too far away for them.
He just wanted to talk to Caliban and Victor, but then he realized that the two guys had already run to the long table, opened the beer and drank heavily.
The two guys who were bickering just now are now like old friends reunited after a long separation, with only drinks in their eyes.
The children around the campfire were enjoying themselves. After Laura discovered Logan, she trotted over and grabbed Logan's trouser legs, inviting him to play together.
It wasn't until late at night, under Maika's instructions, that they reluctantly extinguished the bonfire and ended the party.
This party seems to be one of the few embellishments in Logan's boring escape career of more than ten years.
However, he did not find John and Klaus at the party. After careful questioning, he found out that these two people were arranged by Maika to lead patrols.
In the next few days, Logan never left the farm again. After all, those guys from S.H.I.E.L.D. might be searching for him all over Canada.
However, he was not idle either, and agreed to give Mika a class to teach everyone fighting techniques and combat experience.
And these courses are not mandatory, anyone who wants to take them can come.
But what he didn't expect was that his classes would always be packed, and anyone in the shelter who had time would come.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, such courses can be used by both adults and children.
Coupled with the fact that the story of Wolverine's past gradually spread on the farm, many people learned about the glory of the X-Men before, as well as Logan's powerful strength, attracting many people who did not like fighting.
Basically, those who come to listen to the class will be very serious. After all, most people on the farm have weak abilities and no fighting ability.
It is precisely because of this that the government turned a blind eye to their abilities and did not deliberately round them up. This allowed them to successfully escape to the shelter and survive until now.
But it is also because of this that they are extremely focused on fighting ability. After all, if they want to defend themselves against the enemy, they have to work hard on their fighting skills.
Although Logan taught the same content, he still focused a little on cultivating Laura and her friends.
After all, they are all clones carefully selected from Rice's laboratory. They have high potential and abilities, and their mutant abilities are relatively strong.
As long as these people grow up, they will be the backbone of the shelter, and they are definitely reserve talents.
Especially Laura, although she is not very old, her strength has also improved by leaps and bounds under Logan's guidance.
Perhaps because he inherited Logan's talent, he has been gifted since he was a child. As for fighting skills, he is simply a genius. There are many things that Logan only needs to explain a little or demonstrate once, and the girl can understand them and master them proficiently.
Even Logan has lamented Laura's learning ability many times, and sometimes even boasted to himself, "She is worthy of Wolverine's genes."
Of course, Logan also knew that the girl's talent was not entirely due to genes, but was the potential that was forcibly developed after being subjected to too much inhuman torture in the laboratory since childhood.
In such an environment, the mutants' natural potential will be pushed to the extreme.
While Logan and Victor were teaching martial arts and combat experience, the professors were not idle either.
In addition to his usual classes, he now has to shoulder the responsibility of helping children master their mutant abilities.
Some children with good mutant abilities and relatively high combat effectiveness will be sent to the professor.
The professor is responsible for instructing them on how to operate their abilities and enhance their own strength.
Among these children, Laura and the others are all okay. Although they are not perfect at using their abilities, at least they are not too unfamiliar.
But compared with them, Clarice brought back by Logan seemed a bit inferior.
"No, you have to concentrate, mentally think about the address you want to transmit to, remember all the details of that place, and think about it carefully."
Charles sat in a wheelchair and kept talking to Clarice in front of him.
At this time, Clarice's eyes were closed tightly, her whole body was tense, and her palms were tearing the air hard in front of her, as if she was opening a heavy door.
Bursts of space power slowly spread out, and ripples gradually appeared in the space in front of you.
"Yes, that's it. Hold on for a while, don't open the space so quickly, and determine the location of the landing point."
Charles looked at her encouragingly.
The girl's brows knitted together as she listened to these words, beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.
Buzz!
The space door slowly opened.
The girl looked at the scenery on the other side of the gate and instantly fell down.
Even though she had tried very hard, the distance she could travel in this space was only more than twenty meters at most, and she couldn't even get out of the farm.
Looking at the farmland behind the space crack, Clarice looked troubled and anxious.
"Don't be anxious, take your time, it'll be fine, it's already improved compared to last time."
Logan, who was watching from the sidelines, patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.
The girl looked back at Logan, nodded heavily, and after closing the space rift, she gritted her teeth and used her abilities again, trying to teleport further.
At this time, a hurried figure suddenly ran over, signaling Clarice not to continue using her powers, and at the same time said to Logan: "Logan, come to life."
Logan was stunned and suddenly became interested, "Can you go out?"
John nodded, "Maika has contacted friends outside. There is not much danger outside. Many people from SHIELD have evacuated. You can go out now."
Hearing this, Logan breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that SHIELD was also in some trouble. He asked, "What is the mission this time?"
John looked at Clarice, "Micah said it was time to go to that laboratory and check it out before the laboratory was moved and while Clarice could remember the address of the laboratory."
When Clarice heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "I remember the address!"
Logan looked at her appearance and shook his head helplessly, "Let's go."
Clarice said that the laboratory where she was previously imprisoned might have cooperated with the pickets, and they must investigate this!
