American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants.

Chapter 35 A plan to kill two birds with one stone
"I can't believe that you, an old antique from 70 years ago, are questioning a top student from MIT."

Steve listened to Tony's unhappy response in the headset and said quickly: "No, it's just that until now, your equipment has not had any effect."

He looked at the instrument in his hand, which was a scanning device the size of a mobile phone. Wave lines were constantly sweeping across the screen, like a small radar system.

The instructions for use state that as long as the laser cannon has been fired, even if it has been fired two days ago, the remaining energy can be locked by this thing.

But after they walked around, there was no signal from the instrument.

This made Steve couldn't help but pat the instrument, wondering if it was broken.

"Don't worry, as long as someone activates the laser cannon within a ten-kilometer range, the detector will immediately locate and track them."

Tony, who was in his villa in Los Angeles, was a little sleepy. "Before the laser cannon is activated, just go shopping in that city."

"Can't you increase the monitoring range?"

Natasha couldn't help but complain that the detection range was only ten kilometers, forcing them to wander around the city in the middle of the night with the instrument.

The chaotic night in Santa Fe really made her feel sick.

"Ma'am, that gun is a sophisticated weapon of the Chitauri and has strict protection protocols. It's perfect that I can do this."

"Besides, I'm on vacation now. I could have a wonderful night, but Nick Fury called me in the middle of the night when I was on vacation just to ask for the detector."

"My God, doesn't he know that scientists' brains need to be carefully cultivated in a good sleeping environment? I was very kind not to sue him for disturbing the public."

"Okay Tony, contact me when you have time."

Steve quickly hung up the phone before Tony could continue his rant.

As the communicator beeped and the call was disconnected, Steve couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"This guy always comes up with a lot of bullshit."

He looked at the mobile phone-sized testing instrument in his hand with a helpless look on his face. Tony's complaints were almost making his ears callused.

……

In the alley, Logan's keen hearing enabled him to hear the conversation between the two clearly.

Although it was only a few words, the information conveyed allowed him to figure out why Steve and Natasha appeared in Santa Fe.

It seems that SHIELD attaches great importance to the laser gun, and even tasks such as monitoring require the two Avengers to go out personally.

Presumably Fury hoped that after the weapon was locked, Steve and Natasha could take the gun back as soon as possible.

"It seems that those guys haven't activated the weapon yet."

Steve held her and walked together on the quiet street late at night.

"They are all very cautious. If it were me, I would have been tempted to test it a long time ago."

Natasha was bored; this monitoring mission was too tedious.

"Keep looking. We have to find it before they use it to cause more harm."

Steve shrugged helplessly.

"..."

Steve and Natasha's voices gradually faded away, and Logan walked out of the alley and looked in the direction the two had left with a serious expression.

"Looks like it's time to leave."

He knew that since SHIELD had found the city of Santa Fe, it was only a matter of time before they would target the Lawrence family. A confrontation between the Lawrence family and SHIELD was inevitable.

The ending is obviously foreseeable. The Lawrence family will definitely be wiped out by S.H.I.E.L.D. in one fell swoop. After all, it is just a family organization entrenched in the city of Santa Fe, while S.H.I.E.L.D. is a behemoth that can influence the entire world.

He had to leave quickly to avoid being dragged into this turmoil before they got into a bigger conflict.

Logan put out the burnt-out cigarette butt and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly thought of the abandoned factory in the suburbs.

What he was sure of was that the Lawrence family had been placing spies near the factory, keeping an eye on the professor and Caliban.

If he wants to leave, he must solve this trouble in advance, otherwise, before he leaves the city, the people of the Lawrence family may intercept him frantically.

And now the intervention of the Avengers and SHIELD does not seem to be all bad for him. He can provoke a conflict between the two sides, let the Avengers and SHIELD deal with the Lawrence family, and then he can take advantage of the situation to escape...

Logan's eyes lit up, and a dangerous but very effective plan gradually formed in his mind.

If Steve and his team want to lock onto the Lawrence family, they have to let the laser cannon make some noise on the Lawrence family's territory...

The batch of goods had only been delivered to the Lawrence family a few days ago, and Logan was sure that Chris and his family had not had time to transfer or sell the goods.

The weapons of the Chitauri are most likely still in the Lawrence family.

As long as he could find a way to make that thing ring, he could take advantage of the chaos to take the professor and Caliban, pick up Laura and leave Santa Fe City as soon as possible!
"James, it's time to go."

Josh, who walked out of the convenience store, suddenly interrupted Logan's thoughts.

He bought a few bottles of Coke and threw one to Logan.

Logan nodded, took the Coke, temporarily gave up thinking, restrained the gleam in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

At this time, Samuel also filled up the car with gas.

The few of them smoked cigarettes and drank Coke and went straight back to the Lawrence family's logistics warehouse.

Although it was late at night and the streets seemed deserted, the Lawrence family's logistics warehouse was still brightly lit.

But there were no workers or trucks to be seen, so it was obvious that the lights were reserved for them.

After parking the car in the garage, several people opened the door and got out.

"Logan, it feels really good to work with my idol for the first time. You know, seeing you chop off that guy's head with your steel claws really made my heart surge, just like the superhero I've always admired suddenly used his superpowers in front of me."

Donald walked up to Logan, looked at his face, and smiled. "I really hope that we can have more opportunities to cooperate in the future, before your steel claws can be extended. After all, those clones have your abilities, but they don't have your glorious past that people admire."

As he spoke, Donald reached out and patted Logan on the shoulder, then turned and left.

But after taking a few steps, he turned back and added with a smile: "By the way, regarding Gabriela, I sincerely hope that you will not disappoint a fan, and you must tell me if there is any news about her, okay.

I hope that there won’t be any rift between us because of that woman and child.”

After saying that, Donald walked out of the garage without looking back.

Logan stared at his back in silence.

The conversation between the two left Josh and Samuel confused. They were not clear about many things and just felt that the two were talking in secret.

At this time, Samuel's phone rang with a text message. After taking a look, he turned to Logan and Josh and said, "Let's go, that nigger wants us to go over there. He's waiting for us in the office."
