American comic book: An aging Wolverine, doing whatever he wants.

Chapter 57 A Younger Logan, Clones Appear!

The coordinates of Laura's Eden on paper are located in the Drax National Wildlife Refuge in North Dakota. Near the 010/mark, the urban buildings, even the roadside buildings, become few and far between, with only a desert gradually transitioning into the XCBV VXV forest area.

Logan parked the car on the side of the road leading to the forest.

Victor, who was dozing with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, noticed the car suddenly stop. He opened his eyes, looked around, and, realizing it wasn't their destination, looked at Logan with a puzzled expression. "Did something break down?"

Logan pondered for a moment before explaining, "We are Dr. Rice's target now. That guy's nose will definitely sniff out our scent and follow us. If we just rush over there, we'll become his guide, which could endanger the other mutants in Eden."

Victor, in the co-pilot's seat, frowned slightly. Through their conversations along the way, he had learned about Laura's situation and also realized that Logan and his team were facing the danger of being hunted down by Dr. Rice.

"So you mean... you're not planning to go?"

Victor asked, puzzled.

Laura in the back seat immediately became anxious, frowning and staring at Logan with her bright, watery eyes.

"no."

Logan shook his head and explained, "We just can't go there like this. We have to find a way to ensure the safety of the settlement."

He remembered seeing a similar scene in the movie "Logan," where an aging Wolverine takes Laura to the settlement, only to attract Dr. Rice and his henchmen, causing great trouble for the young mutants there, and the place even becomes Wolverine's grave.

He doesn't want to see that kind of scene played out again.

"We can shake them off before we go."

Caliban suddenly spoke up, "Leave a trace in a nearby town, like showing off our steel claws to scare a few people, giving them the illusion that we've gone somewhere else."

Logan shook his head. "No, Dr. Rice isn't stupid. He'll definitely figure out our true intentions. We need to come up with a safer approach."

Deceiving Dr. Rice won't be that easy, and he probably knows the coordinates of Eden and may already be leading his army to carry out a siege.

"What are you planning to do?"

Charles remained silent for a moment before asking the question.

Logan took a deep breath, glanced at the wide road leading straight into the forest, and said in a deep voice, "This is the only passage to the settlement. Dr. Rice and the others must pass through here if they want to enter the settlement."

As he spoke, Logan's eyes gradually turned cold. "We must eliminate those bastards here and now, otherwise, even if we reach the settlement, we won't have any peace!"

"You mean kill them?"

Caliban gasped, his face showing alarm. "We may have five mutants in our vehicle, but we're probably only capable of fighting two and a half. Dr. Rice and his team, on the other hand, have a fully armed army with them!"

While Wolverine and Sabretooth in their prime could indeed fear no army, they are now old and their fighting power has been greatly reduced. Even with Laura, a little wolf cub, they probably wouldn't be a match for Dr. Rice and his team.

In Caliban's view, this was a suicidal and risky move.

"I have a chance of winning."

Logan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Victor clenched his fist as well, "Perfect, I need a place to vent my anger."

He had been so submissive, yet he was still betrayed by Nordland. This anger wouldn't dissipate with Nordland's death; he needed a battle to vent it!

"I also support Logan."

Charles smiled and said that although he couldn't offer any substantial help in the battle, he still supported all of Logan's actions.

As for Laura, needless to say, she would never give up going to Eden.

"They've all gone mad! They're all insane!"

Caliban watched them, but ultimately had no choice but to compromise.

Logan drove the car into a jungle, retrieved branches to cover it, and had Caliban hide the professor in the woods.

While hiding the car, he inadvertently discovered a cave.

The cave is flanked by high slopes, and the space is relatively narrow, making it a natural ambush point.

"This place is nice."

Logan pointed towards the cave, "If we can lure them here, we can surround and wipe them out!"

Their abilities are all in close combat; relying on speed and sharp claws, they can launch more effective attacks in confined spaces.

On the contrary, Dr. Rice's army would have a hard time operating in such terrain; ricochets might even injure their own men.

Victor nodded. "Lola and I will lure them over. You take the opportunity to make your move."

With the plan finalized, the three of them took out compressed biscuits and water for a quick refreshment.

As dusk approached, Logan built a campfire and had Victor and Laura wait by it. He then climbed a large tree nearby and hid himself among the dense branches.

A few hours later, the sun completely disappeared below the horizon, and darkness gradually fell. In the silent jungle, a campfire cast an orange glow.

Victor sat cross-legged in front of the campfire, the orange-red flames reflecting half of his face as he constantly wiped his outstretched claws.

Laura looked at him, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then followed suit and stretched out her steel claws to rub against a stone. However, after only two rubs, the hard stone was cut in half like tofu.

Victor couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Laura's steel claws and saying, "You really are Logan's child, even your claws are made of steel."

Although Laura's steel claws only have two on each side, their sharpness and slight curve are exactly the same as Logan's. With such obvious resemblance, no one would believe that they have nothing to do with Logan.

Laura didn't say anything, but simply wiped the steel claw on her clothes, then took out two marshmallows from her pocket, stuck them on the steel claw, and roasted them over the fire a couple of times.

Once the frosting on the surface of the marshmallow has melted into caramel, take it back, blow on it twice, and then open it to take a bite.

But after raising his hand halfway, he stopped after thinking for a moment, glanced at Victor, looked at the marshmallow with some reluctance, hesitated for two seconds, and then generously offered his paw, indicating that Victor should take one to eat.

Victor was amused by the girl's generosity and shook his head, saying, "You eat it, I don't like sweets."

A smile instantly appeared on the girl's face. Without hesitation, she withdrew her steel claws, bit into the two marshmallows, and chewed them with a satisfied expression.

"It really looks like it."

Victor looked at Laura and couldn't help but murmur again.

This peaceful scene didn't last long. Amidst the crackling firelight, Victor noticed footsteps slowly approaching from behind.

His eyes narrowed, and he quickly stood up. But as soon as he turned around, he saw an extremely familiar figure walking out of the woods.

Looking at that all-too-familiar face, the fierce look on Victor's face vanished, and he asked with a puzzled expression, "Logan?"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, the steel claws suddenly extended, their silvery-white surfaces scattering a cold, icy light in the night.

Logan suddenly shot out, his dark pupils filled with violent killing intent, and rushed straight towards Victor.

A cold glint flashed in Victor's eyes, and his expression changed drastically. By the light of the fire, he could finally see that it was not Logan at all.

No, to be precise, this is a younger Logan!
