- Chapter 131 - Cooperation plan, mutant rescue plan
At this time, Logan didn’t want to have too much interaction with Steve.
Although he could see Steve’s good intentions, he didn’t know SHIELD’s attitude towards mutants. If he had too much contact with Steve, the old fox Fury might use Steve to set a trap for him.
But Steve obviously didn’t want to give up. He hurried up and blocked Logan’s way.
“We need to talk. There is something I need to ask for your opinion.”
Steve stood in front of Logan and looked at Logan.
Logan looked at Steve’s persistence and couldn’t help frowning.
And Lorna and others beside him looked at the two with curiosity, not knowing Steve’s intention.
At this time, more and more people were around. As the fire was extinguished, the trapped people in the high-rise building rushed out frantically and filled the entire street. Now even if Logan wanted to leave Steve behind, he couldn’t do it.
“Okay.”
Logan shook his head helplessly, but looked at the noisy crowd and said in a deep voice: “Let’s find a place. This is not a good place to chat.”
There are many people here, and there may be Hydra agents among them. After all, those guys are omnipresent, so you have to be careful.
In addition, Steve’s outfit is too obvious, and Logan doesn’t want them to be noticed by Hydra in advance.
Hearing that Logan is willing to communicate, Steve is obviously relieved and nodded: “Okay, follow me.”
After that, Steve called Wanda and took Logan and others out of the crowd and went to a high-rise building not far away.
This high-rise building is obviously different from other buildings. Although there is no big difference outside, the technology content inside the floor is surprisingly high. Every corner has all-round and blind-angle surveillance. Before entering the door, you need to scan for identity authentication.
The interior decoration looks extremely luxurious. The central air-conditioning covers the entire high-rise building. As soon as you enter the door, the stuffiness outside is swept away. In addition, there are elevators, fully automatic guard security facilities, etc., all of which show that this place is not simple.
“This is the temporary base of the Avengers. Tony bought it and made a simple renovation.”
Steve led the way in front and explained this place to everyone.
Logan looked at the ubiquitous cameras and couldn’t help but be amazed.
He believed that the walls under these cameras must be embedded with weapons. If they encountered an enemy, anyone who dared to break in here would definitely be swept into a sieve by these weapons.
At the same time, he didn’t expect that Steve would be so sincere and directly bring them to the temporary base of the Avengers.
You know, the location of a place like this is usually not convenient to show to others, let alone bring people in openly.
Not only was Logan surprised, but Lorna and others behind him were also shocked and kept looking at Logan and Steve.
They only knew that Logan and Steve were comrades in arms during World War II, and the two sides had cooperated before, but they didn’t expect that their friendship was so deep.
Under Steve’s leadership, everyone came to the conference room on the top floor.
This is a very spacious conference room with complete facilities, even luxurious. In addition to various electronic screens, there are coffee machines, tea machines and other items in the corner. It is hard to imagine that they are in a poor area that has just ended the war.
“Sit down.”
Steve invited everyone to take a seat, turned around to get a cup, and poured a few glasses of water for Logan and others.
Then he turned to Wanda and said, “Wanda, you go to rest first. You have worked hard today. I will notify you if there is any arrangement later.”
The next conversation was about mutants, which had nothing to do with Wanda.
Wanda also nodded gently, stood up and turned to leave, but before leaving, she still looked at Logan and others curiously.
She had just joined the Avengers and didn’t know a lot of things. She didn’t know why Steve attached so much importance to these people.
In addition to Logan, Lorna and others also looked at the direction where Wanda left curiously.
The Avengers were famous and had been hyped by the media. They basically knew the main members, but they had never seen Wanda.
Steve looked at them and explained with a smile: “She is Wanda, a newcomer who just joined the Avengers, but she is very strong.”
Everyone nodded suddenly, but Logan still looked indifferent and was not very interested. He knew more about the internal affairs of the Avengers than Steve and the others.
“Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Logan took a sip of water, put down the cup and looked at Steve.
He was actually very curious about why Steve went to so much trouble to pull him over.
After all, although there are undercurrents in the Avengers now, it is not yet time for an outbreak, and the civil war will not happen so soon.
It stands to reason that this period is still a peaceful period, and Steve doesn’t need his help.
Faced with the inquiry, Steve did not answer directly, but asked back: “Nick Fury, do you know?”
Hearing this name, Logan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, and then said: “The current director of SHIELD, why, you want to ask me about him?”
At this time, Logan couldn’t help but be a little wary, after all, Fury is an old fox, and he might fall into his trap accidentally.
Steve smiled and said: “Since the last cooperation, I have talked to Fury about resolving the conflict between mutants and ordinary people.”
“Fury also attaches great importance to this issue. He has provided a solution to peacefully resolve the conflict between you and ordinary people.”
He said to Logan with a little excitement, expecting Logan to be interested in this issue.
After all, he knew the difficulties that Logan and his team were facing now, and he hoped to help these former heroes out of difficulties.
And just as Steve thought, Logan was indeed a little curious about Steve’s words, and raised his eyebrows and asked, “What solution?”
The conflict between mutants and ordinary people has a long history. Of course, it cannot be said to be a conflict with ordinary people. To be precise, it is a conflict with the government.
The government obviously does not want to see a group of uncontrolled but extraordinary guys appear frequently, so under the government’s macro-control, mutants gradually disappeared from the human vision. Even some legends left behind are all about how dangerous and terrifying mutants are, and how they deliberately create conflicts between the two sides.
Logan is very curious about what Steve and his team can do to change all this.
Not only him, but also Lorna and others are also curious.
They are considered the new generation of mutants. They missed the most glorious and respected period of mutants, and have been targeted since birth.
In fact, they also hope to walk in the sun, instead of hiding like rats in the sewer.
Hearing that SHIELD actually has ideas and even plans to resolve the conflict, several people looked at them sideways.
Steve smiled and said, “Public opinion.”
“Public opinion?”
Logan was stunned, and then he vaguely guessed what Fury and the others were thinking, but he still said, “Tell me in detail.”
Steve did not hide it, and said frankly, “Fury hopes to change the image of mutants, such as creating a group of mutant heroes, just like our Avengers, so that they can appear in the public eye, generate positive public opinion, improve the social status of mutants, wash away the negative impact of mutants in the minds of the people, and let mutants be accepted by ordinary people again, so as to integrate into society.”
After a pause, Steve added, “At least Fury and I think this is feasible, and Fury will ask the chairman for support for the change plan when the time is right.”
In Steve’s view, the disputes between mutants and humans have never been indelible, but the prejudice in people’s hearts has led to the current situation.
As long as the prejudice is changed, reconciliation is only a matter of time.
Logan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows listening to Steve’s explanation. He didn’t expect Fury to propose such a plan.
In other words, Fury actually worries about mutants.
But it is reasonable to think about it carefully.
After all, mutants are an unstable factor for S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although mutants are now declining, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, there are still some relatively strong mutants in these years.
These people are fine at ordinary times, but if something happens, it is like a bomb that can explode at any time, and a big accident can be caused by carelessness.
What Fury dislikes most is this instability.
More importantly, these mutants are now hiding in the dark. If they explode, he doesn’t know where they will explode.
And if the problem of the two races can be solved peacefully, then this instability will be greatly reduced. After all, with less external pressure, the possibility of them making trouble will also decrease.
Even if there are some mutants who do not want to reconcile with ordinary people, they will only be a minority, and there will not be a situation where mutants are tied together and exploded together. Even if a few want to make trouble, they will not cause any big waves.
This is good for both social stability and the stability of the current situation.
Steve saw Logan in deep thought and thought that Logan had already had the idea of cooperation, so he quickly took advantage of the victory and said, “Logan, don’t worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us and make a gap in public opinion, I and the Avengers will fully support you and ensure that mutants can live in the sun again.”
Logan looked up at Steve. He knew that Steve sincerely wanted to change the current situation of mutants.
But after thinking about it, Logan smiled bitterly and shook his head, “This is not a trivial matter. I need to go back and discuss with the people in the shelter before I can reply to you. You know, this is not just my personal matter, but it concerns the entire tribe.”
The current situation is not very clear, and he can’t rashly agree to Steve. After all, the environment of mutants is precarious. If there is a slight mistake, it will not only not change the reputation of mutants, but it is likely to bring about a catastrophe.
Only by ensuring that there will not be any major negative impact can Logan decide whether to cooperate with them.
Seeing Logan’s refusal, Steve frowned and wanted to fight for it again, but the door of the conference room suddenly opened.
Tony, wearing a high-end suit, straight and glasses, walked into the conference room.
He looked at everyone in the conference room with a little cynicism, and finally his eyes fell on Logan. He smiled and teased: “Steve always nags you in my ear, and now I can finally see Wolverine in person.”
Everyone turned to look at him. Facing Tony Stark, who had been on the headlines of various newspapers, everyone was obviously familiar with him, but except for Steve, everyone else in the audience also saw him in person for the first time.
Even Logan was meeting Tony in person for the first time.
He nodded politely to Tony, “Just call me Logan.”
Tony smiled, pulled out a chair and sat down, and glanced at Steve. It was not difficult to guess from his eyes that Logan already knew about Fury’s proposal.
“It seems that the captain has already told you.”
He leaned back on the chair, looking very relaxed, and said with a smile: “I am also very supportive of this matter. If you are willing to cooperate, my public relations team will participate in the plan, and their abilities will not be compromised. You’re disappointed, it only takes a few months for the mutants’ status to rise significantly.”
Although he is far less concerned about helping mutants than Steve, he is still willing to do some help that is not too difficult, not for anything else, just because mutants have saved the world.
“Thanks.”
Logan nodded politely to Tony, but still smiled and said: “I can’t decide this matter alone. I need to go back and discuss it.”
Although the character of the Avengers is trustworthy, as previously thought, this matter is a big one and requires long-term consideration.
Tony seemed to have expected this answer, and there wasn’t much surprise.
And he was not like Steve urging Logan to agree. He just said: “Whatever you want, my team is always here and can help at any time.”
After a pause, he glanced at Lorna and the others except Logan, raised his eyebrows and said, “What are you doing in the Middle East this time? You even brought your children with you. Is there anything important?”
He looked at Clarice, who was obviously timid when facing strangers, and was obviously curious about what kind of mission even such a little kid who was not yet an adult would participate in.
In this regard, Logan did not hide anything and said straight to the point: “Help a friend to rescue a person from Hydra. Intelligence shows that he is being held in the Hydra base here.”
The Avengers and Hydra have their own conflicts. They are definitely happy to see them fight against Hydra themselves, and they don’t have to worry about any repercussions if they say so.
After a pause, Logan narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them, “Why are you here here?”
The Avengers’ mission this time doesn’t seem to be simple. Not only did Captain America and Tony take part, but they also brought a powerful Wanda. Such a configuration is enough to show that they attach great importance to the mission.
Steve responded frankly: “It seems that our goals may be the same. I came here mainly to deal with a supernatural incident, and I suspect it may also be related to Hydra.”
Hearing this, Logan’s eyes lit up, “Can you reveal some clues?”
The only clue they have about Hydra now is a photo of one member, which is really troublesome to find.
But if the Avengers can provide some intelligence resources, maybe they can find Hydra’s base faster. Even if they can’t find it, knowing more about Hydra will facilitate subsequent operations.
In this regard, Steve hesitated a little, not knowing how to speak.
Tony, on the other hand, shrugged indifferently, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that the magnetic field anomalies often occur in Aker City, which causes the American Air Force and other air routes to often lose contact inexplicably or even crash when passing through here. situation.”
“As you know, there are often wars in the Middle East, and the American air force often operates nearby. If this problem cannot be solved, it may have a certain impact on the war situation.”
Tony looked unconcerned, obviously not very interested in the phenomenon here, and said indifferently: “The scientists in the army were unable to find out the cause, and finally classified it as a supernatural phenomenon, so they had no choice but to assign us Come out and solve it.”
After a pause, he added: “After I came here, I checked and found that the situation here is indeed somewhat special. The chaos in the magnetic field is not continuous, but is caused by intermittent abnormalities, and it is definitely not caused by the landform. , I guess it’s probably some kind of Hydra weapon, those guys just like to do these messy things.”
Hearing this, Logan nodded and fell into thought. The chaotic magnetic field was indeed very dangerous to aviation, and even had a considerable impact on ground troops. After all, there was no signal, and compasses and other things could not work properly due to magnetic field problems. If you use it, you might get completely lost in the desert while walking.
Steve on the opposite side said: “Logan, since we are both investigating Hydra, why not cooperate for once? You save people, we destroy their secret weapons, and the information we find can be shared with each other.”
In this regard, Logan was deep in thought.
There seems to be no problem in cooperating with Steve and the others. After all, the Avengers are indeed much better than them in detecting intelligence. For example, if Tony is willing, he can send dozens of surveillance aircraft or hack into nearby network systems. Maybe we can find the location of Hydra’s lair.
This is much more convenient than finding a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, Steve and the others are both very capable and have very similar goals. They all want to find Hydra’s base and take action against Hydra. If they cooperate, the pressure on them will definitely be much less.
After weighing the pros and cons, Logan nodded and said, “There is no problem with cooperation, but this mission is not led by me. I have to inform the leader of this mission. If she refuses, I can only apologize.”
This time, he helped Melanie just to repay Hank’s favor. Melanie was in charge. In short, he was just a thug, at most a thug whose words carried more weight. Melanie still had to take charge.
As soon as Logan finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from Melanie.
Logan glanced at Steve and the others on the other side, thought about it, and did not avoid it. He immediately pressed the dial button.
“Hello, Logan, where are you? We have found the trace of Hydra here.”
As soon as the call was connected, Melanie’s voice came out.
