American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants.

Chapter 49: Hunt and Favor

call…

Logan gasped heavily, his bloody steel claws kept dripping blood in the dark night, and the night light hit the steel claws, reflecting bursts of cold light.

He turned his head to look at Jack. The situation was urgent and he subconsciously extended his steel claws.

It only solved the wild boar crisis, but a bigger crisis might be approaching due to the exposure of the steel claws.

Logan looked at Jack who was standing beside him, only to see that he looked surprised, with a look of joy in his eyes. "You...you are a mutant?!"

"You know mutants?"

Logan frowned, in this era mutants were a topic only a few people would talk about.

"of course."

Jack looked at Logan's steel claws, his eyes shining. "When I was a kid, I often heard about your deeds."

Logan thought for a moment, sighed, put away his steel claws, nodded, turned his head to look at the vast night, and said, "Let's go back first, it's too dangerous here."

No one knows whether the gunshots just now will attract more dangerous guys.

Jack nodded repeatedly, but before leaving, he glanced at the wild boar carcasses on the ground with regret.

These are all good things, but it’s too dark now and it’s a big hassle to deal with them, so I have to give up.

Arriving in the town, Logan returned to his hotel room.

The professor had already fallen asleep, and Laura and Caliban were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

As soon as he entered the door, Caliban noticed the blood on his hands and asked nervously, "What happened? I heard gunshots just now. Did those guys catch up with us?"

Laura's round eyes stared at the blood on Logan's hand with worry.

"fine."

Logan shook his head and went into the bathroom to wash his hands, saying, "We just killed a few wild boars that attacked us."

After washing away the blood, he wiped the water droplets from his hands and said, "We have to leave here."

Upon hearing this, Caliban looked over quickly. After all, in life on the run, being able to sleep comfortably in a hotel for a night was a rare enjoyment, and he was not willing to give it up.

"You got into trouble again?"

Caliban couldn't help but ask.

Logan shook his head. "It's a bit troublesome to explain. We have to go to Nevada quickly."

As he said that, he threw the paper towel into the trash can and quickly packed his luggage.

He couldn't be sure whether Jack's reaction when he knew his identity was fake or sincere. After all, there were too many hypocritical people like Chris who might appear to admire you on the surface but might be calling the police secretly.

For safety reasons, he had to take Caliban and the others away overnight.

Logan cleaned up the room, went to the room to wake up Charles, turned off Laura's TV, and said to Caliban behind him: "I'll go downstairs to drive, you bring the professor and Laura down later."

After giving the instructions, Logan quickly went downstairs. Just as he reached the stairs, he suddenly noticed a lot of lights flashing in from the hotel door. A number of black business cars stopped in front of the hotel, and a group of guys who looked difficult to deal with walked into the hotel with heavy footsteps.

Logan quickly shrank back and stood at the stairs leaning against the wall.

A rough voice came from my ear, and someone asked Jack at the front desk: "Have you seen a bearded man? He brought an old man and a girl, as well as an albino with a pale face like a sickly person."

Logan's heart tightened at the stairs. It was obvious that the group of people were coming for him. He clenched his fists carefully, slowly extended his steel claws, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"No."

Jack's decisive answer surprised Logan a little.

He didn't expect that the other party would actually help him. After all, mutants have become wanted criminals now, and the punishment for harboring mutants is also considerable.

"If you don't believe me, you can go up and see for yourself. Our hotel doesn't have any guests today."

Jack's voice came again, as if those guys didn't believe Jack's response just now.

Logan quickly turned around, ran back to the room quietly, and closed the door carefully.

Caliban, who was packing his things, looked stunned. "What's wrong?"

"Someone is chasing us!" Logan explained, and at the same time quickly stuffed all the luggage they brought under the bed, and arranged the entire room as if no one had been there.

Caliban realized the seriousness of the situation and rushed forward to help.

After restoring the house to its original state, Logan looked around, opened the closet, carried Charles in, and said to Laura and Caliban, "You come in too, and don't make any noise!"

Laura nodded in cooperation. Before Caliban went into the closet, he took out a pistol for self-defense.

Fortunately, the wardrobe is big enough to accommodate three people.

After closing the wardrobe, Logan quickly turned off the lights, then leaned against the door, put his ear against it, and listened to the sounds outside.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside.

Logan squatted behind the door vigilantly, his eyes cold and his fists clenched.

At the same time, Jack was holding a bunch of keys, leading the way in front of several burly guys, using keys to open door after door.

"I told you, there's no one here."

Jack's impatient voice came, "I've searched so many rooms, you should believe what I say, do you want to search this one too? Okay, okay, wait, let me find the key."

There was a sound of keys ringing, and Logan knew that Jack was deliberately stalling for time.

Logan quickly ran into the inner room, quickly closed the door, and listened carefully to the noise outside.

The door was opened and Jack turned on the light.

The group of people just took a quick look at the living room and then decided not to waste any more time there, so they turned around to check the next room.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was completely no noise outside, and the sound of a car starting could be faintly heard downstairs.

Logan quietly walked to the window sill, opened the gap in the curtains, and made sure that the cars had gone far away before letting the professor and others come out.

Several people sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Were those Dr. Rice's men just now?"

Logan asked Laura.

The girl remained silent, but nodded affirmatively.

Logan frowned and cursed, "Those guys are really haunting us!"

I didn't expect that they would find my whereabouts so quickly. They are really good at finding out.

"We need to get out of here."

Caliban spoke worriedly, still haunted by what had just happened. After all, he had no fighting ability, and the ability to chase after mutants would make him a sheep falling into the wolf's mouth.

dong dong dong.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The crowd, who had just put their minds at ease, became alert again. Caliban hurriedly raised his pistol and stared at the door.

Logan also walked over carefully, looked out through the peephole, and found that only Jack was standing outside the door. Then he waved his hand with relief, signaling Caliban to put down the pistol and open the door at the same time.

"Don't worry, they're gone."

As soon as he opened the door, Jack smiled at Logan.

Logan nodded gratefully, "Thanks."

"You saved my life, this is what I should do."

Jack shook his head, looked at the people in the room, and suddenly smiled: "My wife has made a lot of food, and I need you to help me finish those delicacies. I wonder if you are free?"

Logan knew Jack's good intentions and nodded, "I'd be happy to. I'll talk to them."

He turned to explain to Caliban and the others, "If we leave now, we may run into Dr. Rice's bastards. They have just searched this place and they won't be back in a short time. It's safe for us to stay here."

Caliban hesitated, but Laura remained silent.

Charles, on the other hand, smiled and said, "Let's go have a meal together. I'm hungry."
