American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants.

Chapter 86: Laboratory in the Old Factory
In the office, Maca sat at the table, his eyes deep, thinking hard.

Logan, Lorna and others on the opposite side were all staring at him, waiting for his decision.

After a moment of silence, Maca nodded and said, "We have to go check out the laboratory."

After that, he said hesitantly, "It's just that the farm is gradually becoming full, and the current facilities can no longer accommodate so many people. I'm afraid I can't accept these people into the shelter."

After a pause, he added: "But if you can rescue people, I can send them to Mexico and other shelters. I have these channels."

After saying that, he looked at Logan and the others and asked them to decide whether to go or not.

Logan nodded. He understood Maca's helplessness. The only source of income for the shelter now was this farm. Although the profit was not small, it had to provide food, clothing and other expenses for more than a hundred people, which was indeed a bit tight.

If more people were accepted, the burden on the shelter would be too great, and Maca could not bear it at present.

In the crowd, Clarice nodded without hesitation, "Sure, as long as we can rescue them, anything is fine."

As long as I can escape from this hell of a laboratory, I can go anywhere.

Maca nodded. "In that case, Logan, you will be in charge of this matter. Just pick anyone you need to bring with you. They will cooperate with you."

Logan nodded without hesitation, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Victor, John, Marcos, Klaus, plus me and Clarice."

The people he chose could be considered the backbone of the shelter, and Logan was more familiar with them, so it would be easier to cooperate with them.

As for Luna, although she is also very strong, Logan can't transfer the defense force of the shelter, so someone must stay behind.

After saying that, Logan looked at Clarice, "Do you still remember where the laboratory is?"

"of course I remember!"

Clarice nodded excitedly, "Thirty-first Street in the North City."

Although she used her teleportation ability to escape successfully last time, she made a special note of the location of the laboratory after escaping from it.

Although that place brought her endless fear, the little girl showed great courage and there was no fear in her eyes when she went back to save her friends.

"Beicheng District..."

Logan was silent for a moment, then looked at the time and said decisively: "In that case, let's set off now!"

Soon, all members gathered outside the farm and got on the bus to the northern city area.

After driving for more than two hours, they arrived at 31st Street as Clarice mentioned.

As it is located in the suburbs, this place seems a bit deserted. There is no downtown area, but more factories. Most of the traffic is trucks, and the noise from the factory operations is constant.

There were not many people walking on the street, and even if there were, most of them were workers in work clothes. It looked like just an ordinary industrial area.

Along the way, Logan couldn't help but check the guard situation at each checkpoint.

After more than half a month, the checkpoint guarding now seems much more relaxed. Compared with the last time he escaped from the city, there are fewer checkpoints at the city entrance.

Obviously, the rumors from last time have gradually faded away, and the influence of mutants has gradually disappeared.

"This is it."

Clarice stuck her head out from the back seat and pointed at a factory emitting white smoke.

Victor, sitting in the driver's seat, slowly parked the van in a parking space near the factory.

Everyone looked towards the factory with a look of surprise on their faces.

"In this factory?"

Logan looked up at the white smoke billowing above the factory with a look of curiosity.

"Ah."

Clarice nodded, "I won't be mistaken, it's in here."

"It seems that the owner of this factory is indeed an extraordinary person."

Victor looked at the factory gate and couldn't help but teasing, "It's been a long time since I saw a laboratory studying mutants in the city."

Most of the laboratories they had come into contact with before were located in the suburbs, and most of them were in remote and uninhabited areas.

After all, this is research on mutants. If we accidentally create an uncontrollable experimental subject, it will easily have a great impact on the surrounding residents.

Moreover, human experiments are openly prohibited, and all their actions must be concealed and cannot be known to the public.

Therefore, both for safety and to conceal their tracks, many laboratories are forced to choose to be located in suburban areas. Those who can establish laboratories in the city are obviously not simple.

It seems that this mission will be more difficult than expected, and the background of the factory or laboratory is definitely not small.

But now that we're here, we can't return empty-handed.

"Let me explain the plan."

Logan drew everyone's attention and began to formulate a plan for infiltration.

In fact, his idea was very simple. John and Victor took Clarice to meet them outside.

He took Klaus and Marcus into the laboratory, took control of the main control room, and found the location where the mutants were imprisoned.

As long as the restraints on the mutants are released, they will have enough power to break out of the laboratory.

During this process, if they are discovered, they must resolve the situation as quickly as possible and must not allow them any time to raise the alarm, otherwise the entire city's pickets and police will rush in at the first moment and directly surround the place.

By then, not only will they not be able to escape, even Victor and the others who are waiting outside will probably be discovered by the patrol teams.

"Everyone, let's get started."

After Logan explained all his plans, he got from the passenger seat into the rear compartment.

Klaus understood what he meant and held Logan and Marcus' hands, and the three of them disappeared from the car in an instant.

Seeing this, John immediately got out of the car and opened the door.

Logan and the other two slowly got out of the car and walked towards the factory stealthily.

The guard at the factory gate was very lax. Just like many normal factories, there was only a security room at the door with a few security guards sitting inside.

These security guards were obviously not very competent. Some of them gathered in the security room smoking and chatting, and they were completely unaware that three subtle footsteps had passed the security room and successfully entered the factory.

"These security guards are really negligent in their duties. They got in so easily. I thought it would be like in the movies, where I need to knock them out and then change into their clothes."

Klaus couldn't help but grumble under his breath.

"Stop talking and come this way."

Logan pulled his arm and led the two of them in the direction he had determined.

Now the three of them are in invisible state, unable to see each other's state, and all their movements can only be carried out through the traction of their arms.

As Logan walked, he looked around the factory.

Before setting off, Clarice drew a simple blueprint for him. Based on the route on the blueprint, Logan knew that the laboratory was right below the factory, but the exit was designed to be very secret, so he had to look carefully for it.

At this time, the workers in the factory are busy, various machine tools are making noisy noises, and uniformed staff are constantly busy in front of the machine tools, producing batches of industrial parts.

This is the disguise of this laboratory. If you just look at it from the outside, it is just a very ordinary parts processing factory.

But no one would have thought that underneath this seemingly normal factory, there was a bloody biological laboratory.

Logan recalled the drawings drawn by Clarice, and after some careful exploration, he found the entrance to the underground laboratory.

This is the entrance to an underground passage hidden behind two big trees. The main door is blocked by the tree trunks. If Logan had not looked at the blueprint in advance, it would have taken some effort to find this secret place.

This entrance is not simple at first glance. It is made entirely of fine steel and is very hard. There is also a special guard room and surveillance camera next to it.

The defenses here are so strict that even a rat cannot sneak in, especially with the surveillance cameras scattered around the gate.

It’s a pity that Logan and his group were in invisible mode and could not be seen by the naked eye. They arrived at the gate right under the noses of the security guards.

Marcos reached out and touched the door at the entrance, and said helplessly: "No, this door is too hard and cannot be broken by brute force."

After a pause, he added: "And I guess if this kind of door is damaged, it will sound an alarm by itself."

Logan nodded. This door seemed to be of the same level as a bank vault, and it was unlikely to be destroyed by brute force.

"You can enter by swiping your card over there."

Klaus looked at the card machine on the side of the door, "It's just that we don't have a card..."

The three of them were in a complete dilemma. After all, they couldn't just sit there and wait for the people downstairs to open the door and come up.

I don’t know how long I have to wait.

Just when the three were at a loss, the sound of a car suddenly came from behind them.

Several people quickly looked back and saw a truck speeding towards them.

"It's the patrol team's car. They are indeed cooperating with the patrol team!" As Logan pulled the two men to hide, his eyes were fixed on the patrol team's logo spray-painted on the truck.

The truck finally stopped in front of the basement door, the window rolled down, and the picketer in the driver's seat waved to the security guard, "Check the door is open."

The security personnel in the pavilion came out and carefully checked the vehicle, including the person in the driver's seat, the chassis of the car and even the roof. Any place where a person could hide was carefully checked.

Logan noticed that the compartment of the truck was covered with a white sheet. One of the security guards lifted the sheet to check and saw several patrol officers sitting inside, guarding an iron cage in the middle.

The guard just took a quick look and then ended the search and let them go.

Marcos cursed in a low voice: "I think they are just escorting mutants. These damn guys never treat mutants as human beings!"

Anyone who could be treated like this by a few patrol teams and locked in such a big cage must be a mutant.

Seeing his fellow tribesmen imprisoned in cages, Marcos was suddenly filled with anger.

"Shh!"

Logan quickly interrupted his anger and whispered, "Don't talk, be careful not to be discovered!"

After saying that, he stared at the truck and said, "When the gate opens, we will climb onto the truck and go in with it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a member of the patrol team got out of the car and swiped his card. The heavy door slowly opened and the vehicle started.

"It's now!"

Logan hurriedly pulled the two of them, jumped onto the pedal at the back of the truck, held on to the truck's frame tightly, and followed the truck into the basement.

The basement was obviously very deep. After driving for a while, we finally arrived at the designated parking area.

This is an empty parking lot with several trucks parked. The lighting is dim, and the overall environment seems very cool because it has not been exposed to sunlight for many years.

Logan and his companions quickly jumped out of the car and trotted over to observe.

"Let's see what they are transporting first. If they are really mutants, then we don't have to look for them. We can just follow them!"

Logan spoke in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the truck as he spoke.

After all, this basement is not small. If you search blindly, who knows how long it will take.

If these patrol teams are transporting mutants, it will make it easier for Logan and his team to lock on to the target area.

“Unload, unload!”

At this time, the pickets also got off the car, waving their hands as they moved things out of the carriage.

Those unloading the goods were all special police from the patrol team, six in total, all of them carrying rifles, and they struggled to move the cages out of the carriage.

"Damn, it's a mutant!"

Marcos looked at the goods in the cage and couldn't help but clench his hands tightly, his voice full of anger.

In the cage, six mutants sat together decadently and numbly, with collars on their necks. They looked like soulless bodies, leaning numbly against the cage, seemingly having given up struggling.

"Damn it, this group of patrol officers really cooperates with the laboratory. They capture mutants and provide them to the laboratory. Damn them!"

Because of anger, Marcos couldn't help but use force with his hands.

Klaus on the side couldn't help but gasp and complained: "Stop pinching, it hurts!"

"Who's there?"

However, the sound was discovered by a patrol member, who instantly became alert. He quickly pulled the gun slung across his back in front of him, pointed it in the direction of Logan and the others, and spoke in a stern voice.

But fortunately, it seemed that he was the only one who accidentally overheard the conversation, and the other five patrol teams all looked at him in confusion.

"No one, you must be hallucinating."

A special police officer looked carefully at the blank area. There was not even a pillar, so no one could hide there. Besides, they didn't see anyone.

"Okay, put your guns away. This place is relatively safe. No one can get in here."

Another SWAT officer pushed the gun down in his hand and signaled him to put it away.

The SWAT officer with the gun raised looked at the wall not far away with a confused look on his face, put away his rifle, and scratched his head in surprise, "There's really no one here, am I really hallucinating? This has never happened before."

"Stop being so nagging."

The two SWAT officers pushing the cage rolled their eyes at him and said, "You're just tired. Just go back and have a few drinks after you finish sending them."

This cage is specially made and has two wheels at the bottom, so it can be easily carried.

"I think you are just so tired that you are hallucinating. No, you can get in the car and rest. We can take you there this time."

A special police officer patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to get in the car.

"It's okay, Captain. I can still move."

The SWAT officer put away his gun and went to help pull the cage.

But when he was leaving, he couldn't help but glance back, as he felt that what he heard just now was not hallucination.

In the distance, Logan and the other two looked at the backs of the special police officers and breathed a sigh of relief when they couldn't recognize them.

"Fortunately, it was not sent down."

Logan let out a breath. If a fight really broke out here, the entire basement would probably be blocked, and it would be difficult for them to escape.

"Hurry up and follow him. Find a way to rescue the mutant."

Marcus couldn't help but urge them, and then he pulled Klaus and Logan to run up along the SWAT's steps.

Clarice didn't have a blueprint of the basement. She only knew that the basement was very large, but she had no idea where the specific departments were.

She couldn't even remember where the main control room was, she had never been there.

After all, she relied on her ability to teleport to escape the blockade step by step. She did not stay in the laboratory for too long. She only knew that the laboratory was underground, and she didn't know anything more.

Logan and the others have to find everything themselves.

Fortunately, we have these special police leading the way, which makes things a lot more convenient.

Soon, Logan and his companions followed the special police to a freight elevator.

Fortunately, the freight elevator was large enough, and after the cage was moved in, there was still space for several special police officers to stand in.

Logan and the others looked at the empty seats, gritted their teeth, and squeezed in.

At this time, the special police were only ten centimeters away from them, and they could touch them with just a little more movement.

Logan could even clearly smell that the special police officer in front of him had eaten Mexican chicken burritos in the morning!
At such a close distance, Logan and his companions couldn't help but hold their breath.

Fortunately, these SWAT officers were very relaxed. They chatted about trivial matters in the elevator, and made a few dirty remarks from time to time, which made other SWAT officers laugh.

In such a relaxed environment, they did not notice that there were three special forces standing less than ten centimeters away from them.

Boom!

The elevator descended to the bottom floor, and Logan hurriedly ran out with the three of them.

The special police also pushed the cage and walked through a long and narrow corridor, with Logan and others following closely behind.

Then, the loudspeaker in the corner suddenly emitted a prompt sound.

[Entering the scanning phase, please do not move]

As the voice fell, the special police stood up straight, waiting for the scan as usual.

However, Logan and the others were stunned for a moment, and by the time they reacted and wanted to escape the scanning area, it was too late.

A grid of infrared rays scanned from all directions like a dragnet.

As the scan is completed, the side display lights up.

"Scan completed, fifteen people in total, welcome in."

An ethereal voice came from the loudspeaker, and scanned images of fifteen people appeared on the screen. The door at the end of the corridor slowly opened, revealing bursts of bright light.

"Fifteen people..."

Hearing the voice from the loudspeaker, the special police was stunned for a moment, looked at the image on the screen, and then looked at themselves.

In an instant, the face became panicked at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had seen a ghost.

"No, including the guys in the cage, there are only twelve of us!"

He shouted loudly, took the rifle behind him and looked around vigilantly.

The other five men also felt horrified, their faces turned pale with fear, they raised their guns, and leaned their backs against the cage.
