Chapter 91 Omega Mutant, Supreme Power and Potential!
"Logan, you're younger again."
The next morning, at the dining table in the cafeteria, Caliban looked at Logan's black hair. There was no longer a single strand of white in his hair, and his complexion looked much better.
However, he was not too surprised by this. He knew that Logan's healing factor was recovering and it was normal for him to become younger.
"Ah."
Logan just nodded faintly.
With the full recovery of his self-healing factor, his physical and mental state have never been better. Even though he drank with Victor until late last night, he is still very energetic.
Victor on the side looked a little burnt.
After a night of hangover, he was obviously still drunk, his hair was messy, and he was yawning all over, looking like he had not woken up yet.
Looking at the energetic Logan, he couldn't help but yawn and said, "They are both self-healing abilities, but the difference is too big."
He looked envious. After all, when one gets old, everyone wants to be young again, but his self-healing ability cannot do that.
"Logan's healing factor is different from yours. His X-gene is evolving and mutating."
Charles spoke at the dining table and introduced Logan's situation.
"mutation?"
Caliban looked up from his plate. "That sounds strange."
"Is it weird?"
Victor disagreed, "We are the product of mutation now."
It is the genetic mutation that makes them mutants. Whether it is him, Logan, Caliban, etc., although their abilities are different, they are actually mutations in essence.
Charles put down his coffee and said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, mutation is not strange. I think it should be a source of pride. Mutation is the main way of evolution on this planet. All evolution is produced in the process of mutation, and we are honored to be chosen by nature to be the pioneers who complete mutation first."
He has always believed that being a mutant is a proud thing, and this sense of superiority does not come from strength, but from natural selection.
From the beginning to the end, he felt that the emergence of mutants was very normal, just like the first fish that crawled out of the sea hundreds of millions of years ago and tried to live on land.
Perhaps in the eyes of the fish at that time, the guy who crawled onto the land was looking for death. Its mutated lungs seemed as strange as heresy in a cult to other fish that breathe with gills.
But the fish succeeded. Through repeated mutations, it and its offspring survived on land and reproduced a variety of creatures, creating the complex and chaotic environment we have today.
Charles believes that they are all that fish, undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Perhaps in the future, all humans will undergo a similar mutation, and they will be the pioneers of humanity.
"The professor is about to start lecturing again."
Caliban buried his head back in his plate with a bored look on his face.
Ever since the professor became a teacher at the shelter, he has always been like this, nagging non-stop about things related to the X gene.
"I agree with the professor."
Logan stuffed the sandwich on the plate into his mouth, chewed it and said, "Mutation is the norm for organisms. The reproduction of any organism is a process of continuous evolution."
The professor nodded and smiled in approval, "Logan is right. We mutants are like this. We grow through constant mutations. The mutation of the X gene has given us mutants some unimaginable talents, and can even give birth to Omega mutants."
This once again aroused Caliban's interest. He raised his head and asked curiously, "Professor, what does it take to be an Omega mutant?"
He had heard this name many times, but he had only heard it and had no idea what it meant.
After thinking for a moment, the professor said, "Supreme power, endless potential, indefinable and immeasurable, this is the Omega mutant."
The strength of the Omega mutants is hard to estimate. Although the professor has done research, most people only understand the horror of the Omega mutants in theory.
After all, Omega mutants are so rare that the professor has no chance to study them in depth.
Caliban was stunned, then laughed and said, "Professor, how is this possible? According to what you said, Omega mutants are like gods."
Unlimited power, immeasurable strength, able to destroy the stars, this sounds like a fantasy, Caliban doesn't believe that anyone really has such power.
Charles was silent for a while, then said solemnly: "In a way, the power of Omega mutants can indeed be called divine."
He was well aware of the power of the Omega mutants, a terrifying force that could destroy the entire earth. It was not an exaggeration to say that such mutants were gods.
Caliban was stunned. He noticed the seriousness of the professor's expression and asked carefully, "But such a person shouldn't exist. If he does, it would be too terrifying."
Charles glanced at him and suddenly fell silent. His old eyes seemed to recall the past and his face was full of melancholy.
After a long while, he slowly said: "It existed before, but now... it's gone."
Logan looked at the professor and fell silent.
He knew that the Omega mutant the professor was talking about was Jean Grey. She was the most promising mutant in the academy at that time. Wolverine had witnessed her power and was almost killed by it.
Even looking back on it now, it is a sad history.
"What are you talking about."
While they were talking, Lorna, Marcos, John and Klaus sat down with their plates and asked with interest.
"I'm listening to the professor's lecture."
Logan shrugged and looked at the professor.
"Some topics about the evolution of the X gene. If you are interested, you can go to the classroom and listen together later."
The professor smiled at the few people.
Lorna, Marcos and the others waved their hands to refuse, "We have other things to do."
Several people sat at a table, chatting and eating breakfast. The scene was very harmonious.
While eating, Marcos suddenly said, "By the way, there may be other things sneaking into the shelter recently."
As soon as these words came out, the timid Caliban immediately panicked, "What? The other mutants and those guys from the patrol team, won't they be in danger?"
Seeing Caliban's panic, Marcus smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's not a threat. It's probably a wild beast in the forest. Recently, the sheep in the sheepfold are taken away by wild beasts from time to time, but we can't find any trace of the wild beasts."
"Oh."
Caliban was immediately relieved. As long as the entire shelter was not in danger, it would be fine. He patted his chest and said, "As long as there is no danger, it's fine."
After saying that, he continued to eat his dinner.
Logan on the side became interested and looked at him with interest, "What kind of beast is so powerful that it dares to enter a shelter full of mutants and steal sheep?"
"We don't know either."
Marcus shook his head helplessly, then looked at Logan, "This is why I brought this up. If you are free, go with me and see if you can find any clues."
Victor on the side suddenly came over with great interest, "Hey, there are not only wolves that can be hunted here, there is also a saber-toothed tiger!"
"You're invited too, Victor."
Marcos looked at Victor and spoke with a helpless smile.
Then he asked, "Is it convenient for you two?"
Logan took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then nodded, "I can."
Victor's alcohol smell seemed to be swept away, and he squinted his eyes and smiled: "I want to see what kind of thing this is. How dare it break into the tiger's territory and steal sheep!"
After saying that, he stuffed the sandwich into his mouth in three or two bites and went to take a look with little expectation.
Marcos and John then took Logan and Victor to the sheepfold.
Klaus, who was still eating, kept staring at Logan's back, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he murmured in surprise: "Have you noticed? Logan seems to have gotten younger. I remember when I first saw him, he was an old man in his 40s or 50s, but now he seems only a few years older than me. I can hardly recognize him."
Lorna at the side also expressed the same feeling: "He has indeed become much younger. Is he wearing makeup?"
After saying this, she looked at Caliban and Charles in confusion.
Caliban raised his head and stammered, not knowing how to explain.
Charles was very calm and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, this is a normal phenomenon for Logan. His self-healing factor will recover every once in a while, changing his appearance and restoring his strength. This is normal and we are all used to it."
Charles explained to the two of them very calmly, trying his best to make Logan's changes look normal so as not to arouse suspicion in others' minds.
"so amazing."
After listening to this, Klaus did not have any doubts. He looked at Logan seriously with a gleam in his eyes, and seemed to be very interested in Logan's abilities.
Luna on the side also nodded, "It's unheard of, this ability is really strange." Charles and Caliban looked at each other and smiled silently.
At the same time, Logan and his friends were on their way to the sheepfold.
Logan couldn't help but ask, "When hunting wild animals, they usually leave some clues behind, right? Are there no clues in the sheepfold?"
Marcos in front shook his head. "We didn't find any signs of struggle, blood or debris. We also searched nearby and didn't find wolf fur or anything like that. The sheepfold wasn't damaged either."
"It looks like a large animal did it. It grabbed the sheep in the pen without giving them any sign of struggle."
Victor stroked his chin and gave his guess, and then couldn't help muttering to himself: "But I don't think there seems to be any trace of large animals around here."
Logan nodded, then asked curiously, "Have you seen any large animals nearby?"
Marcos shook his head decisively, "No, and if it was a large animal, we would definitely find their footprints or other traces, but we can't see anything now."
These words made Logan frown for a moment. It seemed that there were very few clues.
Soon, the four of them walked into a small woods.
Marcos and his men hid the sheep pen in the woods. Except for the daytime grazing, the sheep were kept here. As soon as he approached the sheep pen, Logan clearly smelled a strong sheep odor, but did not hear any sheep's cries.
Everyone pushed open the door of the sheepfold, and saw that it was filled with hay, but now there was only hay, and no sheep could be seen.
"Where are the sheep?"
Victor couldn't help but ask, there was not a single sheep in the sheepfold.
"It's grazing outside."
Marcos pointed outside and said, "Sheep need to roam freely. If they are trapped in the sheepfold all the time, they will not eat grass."
Logan nodded and looked carefully in the sheep pen.
Marcos followed beside him and said, "This is the fourth sheepfold. We just lost one sheep last night. With this one, there are now three sheep missing from the sheepfold. This is a huge loss for the shelter."
The sanctuary itself makes its money from the farm, and the price of three sheep is indeed a considerable loss.
Then he walked to the door frame. "There was no sign of damage to the door, and no footprints were found nearby. We have no idea what the problem is."
Logan nodded and after checking around, he didn't find anything. The entire sheep pen was intact and there was no clue at all.
"Could it be that the sheep never entered the sheepfold in the first place?"
Victor couldn't help but ask. After all, the protection level of this sheepfold was very high and ordinary wild animals couldn't come in to hunt.
"impossible."
Marcos rejected the idea and added: "Our sheepdogs are very competent and will not let any sheep stay outside overnight. There are also special people in charge here. Every day when the sheep return to the pen, they will be counted."
Logan listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but frown.
At this time, he noticed a window about three meters high on the wall of the sheepfold. He pointed at the window and asked, "Could it be that a wild animal climbed in through the window to steal the sheep?"
Victor rolled his eyes at him and said, "Logan, you think too much. The window is three meters above the ground. What kind of beast can crawl in? Even if it can crawl in, how can it crawl out with the sheep in its mouth?"
Logan shook his head silently, looked around, found a ladder and climbed up.
As soon as he climbed to the window, he clearly saw several claw marks on the window frame. The claw marks were very clear and seemed to have appeared not long ago.
Logan immediately said to John and the others, "Here, there are claw marks, come and take a look."
After saying that, he walked down the ladder and asked a few people to come up and check.
Marcos and the others heard the clue and quickly climbed up the ladder, carefully looking at the claw marks on the window frame.
John even took photos and asked a few people to carefully identify them.
"What beast's claw is this?"
To be honest, the marks on the window frame looked very unfamiliar to them. They did not look like animal marks at all.
"I feel like this is more like a trace left by a person."
Logan placed his finger in front of the screen, comparing it to the claw marks, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
As soon as these words were spoken, several people instantly understood that this was not poaching by wild animals at all, but human stealing of sheep!
"Damn it, I didn't expect this was done by a human. Damn it, damn it, this is the common property of the shelter, and someone actually dared to steal it!"
Marcos was furious. After all, they lost three sheep, which was a big loss for them.
John on the other side was also angry, "We must catch this sheep thief!"
Logan did not join in their anger, but simply wondered, "Who could steal sheep without making a fuss? And without leaving any traces?"
If a strange face appears in the flock, the sheep will surely bark, which will not only alert the sheepdog, but also attract the attention of the sentry.
But according to what Marcos and the others said, it seems that there has been no unusual movement in the sheep pen recently.
Marcus and John ignored Logan's guess, and clenched their fists and said seriously: "No matter who it is, we must catch him!"
John also nodded heavily, "We will stay here tonight and we must catch this thief!"
"Boring, I thought it would be some kind of wild beast."
After knowing that it was man-made, Victor looked bored. He had no interest in the sheep thief.
Logan on the side said with interest: "Don't you think this is more interesting than stealing sheep? He can actually take a sheep weighing hundreds of kilograms away from a wall several meters high, and he doesn't leave any traces."
Logan looked at the three-meter-high wall. It was impossible for an ordinary person to climb over the wall with bare hands while carrying something weighing hundreds of pounds in one hand, and not leave any clues.
"Probably just some thirsty guy on the farm."
Victor shrugged indifferently. What normal people couldn't do, the mutants on the farm could. After all, some people were just very powerful.
Besides, although the food on the farm is filling, it is not rich. Maybe someone was greedy and started poaching.
"He wouldn't steal three in a row, unless he has a big appetite."
Logan smiled and rejected this idea.
Marcos on the other side was still very angry. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "No matter who it is, Victor and I will find him out tonight. We can't let him go so easily!"
Logan smiled and said, "If I wasn't busy, I would really like to stay here with you guys."
Although he had no mission, he also had time, as the children were still waiting for him to teach them fighting skills.
"You go to class first, we'll just guard here."
Marcos also knew that Logan and Victor both had teaching tasks, so he immediately asked them to leave first, while he and John looked for a hidden place nearby to catch the sheep thief.
Logan and Victor smiled, said goodbye to them, and went back to the classroom to teach.
He has quite a lot of classes scheduled today, both in the morning and afternoon.
But the children were very serious and studied very hard, which made Logan and Victor feel a little more relaxed.
Their teaching task did not end until the evening.
When I left the classroom, it was time for the cafeteria to open for dinner.
However, during the meal, Logan didn't see Marcos and John. Lorna quietly told him that the two men had gone to catch the sheep thief, and asked Lorna to bring them compressed biscuits and water later.
Lorna spoke in a low voice. After all, she couldn't rule out the possibility that the sheep thief was someone from the farm.
Victor thought they were making a big deal out of nothing, it was just a few sheep.
But Lorna said seriously that the farm was currently facing a very difficult financial situation and any sheep would be a huge loss, let alone three.
It was because Maca was not here today, otherwise if he knew that the sheep was lost, Marcos would be in trouble. After all, this could lead to problems with patrolling.
Logan just smiled. At this moment, he suddenly heard the screams of sheep coming from the direction of the sheepfold.
Hearing the sound, Logan's expression changed. He guessed that the sheep thief had been caught. He quickly got up and rushed out of the cafeteria, running towards the sheep pen.
Luna and the others also noticed the bleating of the sheep, and without caring about dinner, they hurriedly followed.
Even Victor, who seemed not to care, actually ran out as well.
After running a few steps, they noticed that sheep were running everywhere, screaming in fear as they ran, and there were many bright red bloodstains on their white wool.
