American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants.

Chapter 85: Macka's great ambitions, S.H.I.E.L.D. is in trouble

In the bathroom, mist rose. 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 mist on the mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror.

His muscular body looked very wild, and all the bullet holes on his body disappeared. His skin, which had been gradually becoming soft, now became tight again.

It is hard to imagine that two days ago, this body was full of bullet holes, but with the help of the self-healing factor, it has now completely recovered. 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 had disappeared, with only one or two unclear wrinkles remaining at the corners of his eyes. His face now looked to be no more than forty years old, without any signs of aging. Instead, it showed the vitality of a middle-aged man.

The messy hair on his head is gradually returning to its red color, and the white hair is gradually turning black. Now it is almost invisible. Only by plucking the hair can you vaguely find a few white hairs among the black hair.

The self-healing factor gradually recovered and continued to repair his body. The aging cells seemed to be re-injected with vitality. The word "old" was constantly waving goodbye and striding away from this body.

Logan looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help feeling a little dazed. For a moment he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

It is certainly a good thing to be young again, as it allows him to accomplish many feats that he has not accomplished before.

But if he recovered his youthful state so quickly, then the recovery of his self-healing factor most likely could not be concealed. Just by looking at the changes in his appearance during this period, one can guess the secret of the self-healing factor.

Logan smiled bitterly, wiped the water off his face, changed into 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, but Maca only gave you a watch. It's really biased!"

"If you want it, you can wear it."

Logan spoke indifferently. He has never had any interest in these decorative things. If he has them, he will wear them. If he doesn't have them, he won't think about it or force it.

"No."

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 about it."

The dark green dial looks very textured, and the exquisite metal strap and ticking hands have the charm of a successful person.

Victor rolled his eyes.

At this moment, the door opened and Caliban pushed the professor back into the living room.

"came back."

Logan greeted the two with a smile and asked, "How is the class going?"

Charles smiled and nodded repeatedly, "It's much simpler than I thought. The children are all very eager to learn and have great ideas. Everyone has great ideals."

At this point, the professor couldn't help but reveal a kind look, recalling the scene of those children listening attentively in class, as if he saw the hope of mutants right before his eyes.

Caliban added: "Those kids are very idealistic, much like the professor when he was young. They think mutants can get along well with humans. But I think this is too idealistic, at least not in the short term."

After hearing this, Charles fell into silence and did not speak.

"It's a good thing to have ideals."

Logan just smiled and said, "In the future, their ideals will become reality."

Suddenly, he thought of something and took the initiative to speak: "Also, SHIELD may know that my healing factor has recovered. This time when I encountered them, they all saw the changes in my appearance and the speed of my body's self-healing after being hit by a bullet. This matter can't be concealed for too long."

Not all the people in SHIELD are fools. As long as they review the battle process, Hill will definitely quickly deduce that Logan's healing factor has recovered.

"Just discover it. It's inevitable."

Charles shook his head helplessly.

After all, the effect of the self-healing factor is passive, and it can also repair Logan's old appearance, which cannot be hidden at all.

After he finished speaking, Charles suddenly became serious, stared at Logan and warned: "But apart from the self-healing factor, you must not expose your other abilities, otherwise it will be all over, and those guys will spare no effort to find you."

The recovery of the self-healing factor means at most that Logan's X-gene has broken through the suppression of genetically modified food. This can only mean that Logan's X-gene is relatively tenacious and will not attract much attention.

But once the new ability is exposed, all laboratory organizations will know that the X gene in Logan is evolving.

Once this news leaks out, the entire biological laboratory related to mutant research will go completely crazy, and major government departments will also go all out.

At that time, Logan really had to fight against the entire country alone.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Logan nodded, and then said with cold eyes: "If I really have to be exposed, I will not let anyone escape alive."

He had finally arrived at the mutant shelter, and he didn't want to give up these relatively peaceful days easily.

And while they talked, Caliban kept staring at Logan's wrist, at the watch.

After the conversation between the two ended, he exclaimed, "Omega watch? This is not cheap. Logan, where did you get it from?"

Because he had been to the black market, he recognized the brand of the watch at a glance. Among mechanical watches, Omega is definitely one of the well-known brands.

He looked at it carefully and said, "This watch is at least around a thousand. It looks really good."

"It's from Macca."

Logan was a little uncomfortable and covered his watch with his long sleeves.

At this moment, 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 us?"

"Campfire party?"

Logan was a little surprised.

Lorna nodded and said, "It's very lively. Maca said that newcomers to the shelter should try to attend."

Logan was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, glanced at Caliban and the others behind him, and said with a smile, "Let's go."

……

The sky fell completely dark, with stars dotted in the sky. Lorna strode ahead, followed by Logan and Victor, while Caliban pushed the professor on the other side.

In fact, there was no need for Luna to lead the way. As soon as he went out, Logan saw a dazzling fire in the center of the farm in the distance, and faint laughter of children could be heard.

Lorna explained with a smile: "The campfire party is an event specially organized by Maca. It is held every two weeks. Everyone plays around the fireflies, chats together, eats snacks and looks at the stars. It is very lively. It is mainly used to promote the relationship between everyone and liven up the atmosphere of the shelter."

Logan listened and nodded repeatedly.

Although the shelter is good, it is isolated from the world and is really secluded. Many people would not be able to tolerate 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 left their families at an early age to feel the warmth of home again.

“McKa is such an excellent leader. It’s rare to find leaders who can think of others like this.”

Caliban looked at the grand bonfire in the distance with a look of emotion, and his expression suddenly became full of enjoyment.

There is no danger here, no damn high temperature and scorching sun, and there is a leader like Maca who is willing to consider every little thing in life. For him, this is like heaven!

Victor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and teased, "You've only known him for a few days? It's as if you can't wait to give him your back door as well."

"Shut up, I'm just praising other people's talents!"

Caliban heard the sarcasm in the words.

"White Ghost, I really think you should knock on his door after taking a shower. Maybe he has already had a crush on you?" Victor continued 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 unconvinced, "He was the first to speak!"

Lorna didn't care. Instead, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, because Caliban had said too many words like that in the past two days.

Soon, they arrived at the middle of the farm.

A square was cleared here, with firewood piled in the middle, burning with blazing flames. The orange-yellow flames 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 grill next to the campfire, grilling the fragrant skewers of meat.

The long table on the other side was filled with various snacks and drinks that were available at any time, as well as beer for adults.

People laughed heartily beside the fire, the orange bonfire shining on their faces, as if covering everyone with a bright golden halo.

The children's childish laughter was like soft notes, which made the professor unable to suppress the smile on his face and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

"Professor, this is what you wanted, right?"

Maca appeared beside the crowd at some point, looking at the warm scene illuminated by the fire with a fascinated look on his face.

"Peace, tranquility, and happiness are what I want to see in them."

Charles nodded, as if he wished that time would stop here. They were in the shelter, enjoying the peace and joy that belonged only to this place.

Macka let out a long breath and sighed, "But it's not easy to do all this, and my goal is not just this."

"Oh?"

Charles looked over in surprise, and became interested: "Can you tell me about your ambitions?"

Maca looked up at the bright stars in the sky. "My ideal is very simple. I want everyone to no longer live in disgrace and to be treated fairly. We no longer have to hide from place to place or live in fear. Every day we can sit around a campfire like tonight, abandon all worries, and just enjoy safety and happiness."

Charles looked at Maca, who was looking up at the bright starry sky, his face full of determination.

“A lofty ideal.”

Charles also sighed.

“Maybe I’m in the right place.”

Logan muttered that Maca was very courageous, but these things were too far away from them.

He was about to talk to Caliban and Victor, but then he realized that the two guys had already run to the long table and opened their beer to drink.

The two guys who were bickering just now now seemed like old friends who had met after a long separation, with only drinks in their eyes.

The children around the campfire were having a great time. When Laura spotted Logan, she trouser leg and ran over, inviting him to play with her.

It was not until late at night that, under Maca's instructions, they reluctantly extinguished the bonfire and ended the party.

This party seemed to be one of the few embellishments in Logan's more than ten years of boring life on the run.

However, he did not see John and Klaus at the party. After asking carefully, he found out that the two were arranged by Maca to lead patrol.

In the next few days, Logan never left the farm again. After all, those guys from SHIELD outside might be searching for him all over Canada.

But he was not idle either. He agreed to give classes to everyone under Maca, teaching them fighting techniques and combat experience.

These courses are not compulsory, anyone who wants to attend can come.

What he didn't expect was that his classes were basically always full, and anyone who had time in the shelter would come.

But it’s normal if you think about it. After all, such courses can be used by both adults and children.

In addition, his previous stories about Wolverine gradually spread on the farm, allowing many people to learn about the glory of the previous X-Men and Logan's powerful strength, attracting many people who did not like fighting.

Basically, everyone who comes to listen to the class is very serious. After all, most people on the farm have relatively mediocre abilities and little combat capability.

It is precisely because of this that the government turned a blind eye to their abilities and did not deliberately carry out a round-up, which allowed them to successfully escape to the shelter and survive until now.

But it is also because of this that they are extremely concerned about fighting ability. After all, if they want to defend themselves against the enemy, they have to work hard on fighting skills.

Although the content of Logan's lectures is the same, he focuses slightly more on training Laura and her friends.

After all, they are all clones carefully selected from Rice's laboratory. They have high potential and ability, and their mutant abilities are relatively strong.

As long as these people grow up, they will be the backbone of the shelter and will definitely be reserve talents.

Especially Laura, although she is not very old, her strength has made rapid progress under Logan's guidance.

Perhaps it was because she inherited Logan's talent and had been gifted since childhood. She was simply a genius in fighting techniques. For many things, Logan only needed to explain them briefly or demonstrate them once, and the girl would be able to understand and master them.

Even Logan has repeatedly marveled at Laura's learning ability, and sometimes even boastfully muttered to himself, "She's worthy of Wolverine's genes."

Of course, Logan also knew that the girl's talent was not entirely due to genes, but was a potential that was forcibly developed after she had been subjected to too much inhuman torture in the laboratory since she was a child.

In such an environment, the talents and potential of mutants will be pushed to the extreme.

While Logan and Victor were teaching fighting skills and combat experience, the professor was also busy.

In addition to his daily classes, he now has to take on the task of helping children master their mutant abilities.

Some children with good mutant abilities and relatively high combat power will be sent to the professor.

The professors are responsible for instructing them on how to use their abilities and enhance their strength.

Among these children, Laura and the others are all okay. Although they cannot be said to be perfect in the use of their abilities, at least they are not too unfamiliar with them.

But compared to them, Clarice, whom Logan brought back, seemed a little inferior.

"No, you need to concentrate and think about the address you want to teleport to. Remember all the details of that place and think it through carefully."

Charles sat in a wheelchair and kept talking to Clarice in front of him.

At this moment, Clarice had her eyes closed, her whole body tense, and her palms were tearing the air in front of her, as if she was pulling open a heavy door.

Waves of spatial power slowly spread out, and ripples gradually appeared in the space before his eyes.

"Yes, that's it. Hold on for a while. Don't open the space so quickly. Make sure you land at the right address."

Charles looked at her encouragingly.

As the girl listened to these words, her brows furrowed and beads of sweat kept dripping from her forehead.

hum!
The space gate slowly opened.

The girl looked at the scenery on the other side of the gate and instantly became depressed.

Even though she tried very hard, the distance that this space could send her to was only more than 20 meters at most, and she couldn't even get out of the farm.

Looking at the farmland behind the space crack, Clarice looked distressed and anxious.

"Don't worry, take your time, it's okay, it's already an improvement over last time."

Logan, who was watching from the side, patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.

The girl looked back at Logan and nodded heavily. After closing the space crack, she gritted her teeth and used her ability again, trying to teleport herself further.

At this moment, a hurried figure suddenly ran over, signaling Clarice to stop using her abilities, and said to Logan, "Logan, come alive."

Logan was stunned, and immediately became interested, "Can we go out now?"

John nodded. "McKa has contacted his friends outside. There is no major danger outside. Many people from SHIELD have been evacuated. We can go out now."

Hearing this, Logan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that SHIELD had also encountered some troubles. He asked, "What is the mission this time?"

John looked at Clarice, "McKa said it's time to go check out that lab, before it's moved and before Clarice can remember the address of the lab."

Clarice's eyes lit up when she heard this, "I remember the address!"

Logan looked at her and shook his head helplessly, "Let's go."

Clarice said that the laboratory where she was previously imprisoned might have cooperated with the patrol team, and they must investigate this clearly!
