In the bathroom, the mist was rising. 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 water mist on the mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror.

The strong muscles on his body looked very wild, and all the bullet holes on his body had disappeared. The skin that had become loose before was now compact again.

It is hard to imagine that two days ago, this body was full of bullet holes, but now it has been completely restored to its original state thanks to the repair of the self-healing factor. 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 have also disappeared, with only one or two unclear wrinkles remaining at the corners of his eyes. This face now looks like he is only forty years old at most. There is no trace of aging anymore, and instead he looks like a man in his prime. of vitality.

The messy hair on the head is also becoming rosy day by day, and the white hair is turning black day by day. Now it is almost invisible. Only by pulling out the hairline can you vaguely find a few white hairs among the black hair.

The self-healing factors gradually recovered and continued to repair his body. The aging cells seemed to be re-energized. The word “old” was constantly saying goodbye and striding away from this body.

Logan looked at himself in the mirror and couldn’t help but feel a little dazed. He didn’t know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.

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

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

Logan smiled bitterly, wiped the water on his face, changed into a set of 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, and Macca only gave you the watch. It’s so partial!”

“If you want it, just wear it.”

Logan said with an indifferent expression. He had never been interested in these decorative things. He would wear them if he had them. If he didn’t have them, he wouldn’t think about it or force them.

“don’t want.”

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.”

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

Victor rolled his eyes aside.

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

“Back.”

Logan greeted the two of them with a smile and asked, “How is it? Is the teaching going well?”

Charles smiled and nodded repeatedly, “It’s much simpler than I thought. The children are very eager to learn and have great ideas. Everyone has lofty ideals.”

Having said this, the professor couldn’t help but show a kind look, recalling the scenes of those children listening intently in class, as if he saw the hope of mutants right in front of him.

Caliban then added: “Those children are very idealistic, much like the professors when they were young. They think mutants can get along well with humans, but I feel that this is too ideal, at least in the short term.”

When Charles heard this, he fell into silence and did not speak.

“Having ideals is a good thing.”

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

Suddenly, he thought of something and took the initiative to say: “In addition, SHIELD may know about the recovery of my self-healing factor. During this encounter with them, they all saw the changes in my appearance and the fact that my body was hit by bullets. The speed of Zhonghou’s self-healing cannot be hidden for too long.”

People in SHIELD are not all idiots. As long as they review the battle process, Hill will definitely quickly deduce that Logan’s self-healing factor has been restored.

“Just discover it, it’s inevitable.”

Charles shook his head helplessly.

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

After finishing speaking, Charles suddenly became serious, stared at Logan and ordered: “But except for the self-healing factor, other abilities must not be exposed, otherwise it will be completely ruined, and those guys will spare no effort to find you.”

After the self-healing factor is restored, at most it means that Logan’s X gene has broken through the suppression of genetically modified foods. This only shows that Logan’s X gene is relatively tenacious and will not attract much attention.

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

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

At that time, Logan really wanted to fight against the entire country with his own strength.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”

Logan nodded, and then said with cold eyes: “If I have to be exposed, I will not let anyone leave alive.”

After finally arriving at the mutant shelter, he didn’t want to give up these relatively peaceful days easily.

While they were talking, Caliban kept staring at Logan’s wrist and looking at the watch.

After the conversation between the two ended, he exclaimed with a look of surprise: “An Omega watch? This is not cheap. Logan, where did you get it from?”

Because he had been in 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, “This watch is at least one thousand, and it looks really good.”

“McKa gave it to me.”

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

At this time, the door was suddenly knocked.

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?”

“Campfire party?”

Logan was a little surprised.

Lorna nodded and said, “It’s very lively. McKa said that newcomers to the shelter should try to join.”

Logan was stunned for a moment, thought about it, glanced at Caliban and others behind him, and said with a smile, “Let’s go.”

…

The sky fell completely into darkness, and the sky was dotted with stars. Lorna strode in front, followed by Logan and Victor, and Caliban pushed the professor on the other side.

In fact, there was no need for Lorna 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 there were faint bursts of children’s laughter.

Lorna smiled and explained: “The campfire party is an event specially organized by Macka. 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. If there are no activities like this to enrich the entertainment, many people will not be able to bear it.

And such activities can also make more people feel a sense of belonging to the shelter, so that some children who have left their families since childhood can feel the warmth of home again.

“Macka is really an excellent leader. Leaders who can think of others like this are rare now.”

Caliban looked at the grand bonfire in the distance with emotion, and his face suddenly became very enjoyable.

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 bit of life. For him, this is just like heaven!

Victor couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and teased: “You have only known him for a few days? It’s as if you can’t wait to give him the back door.”

“Shut up, I’m just praising others’ talents!”

Caliban heard the sarcasm in his words.

“White ghost, I really think you should knock on his door after taking a shower. Maybe he has already taken a fancy to you?” Victor’s mouth still didn’t stop.

Listening to the two people’s words, Logan patted his head with a headache, “Can’t you two say something nutritious? Lorna is still young.”

Victor was silent, and Caliban was dissatisfied, “He spoke first!”

Lorna didn’t care, but covered her mouth and laughed, because Caliban said too many words like that in the past two days.

Soon, several people came to the middle of the farm.

A square was opened up 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 stove next to the campfire, grilling the fragrant skewers.

The long table on the other side was filled with all kinds of snacks and drinks that could be taken at any time, as well as beer for adults.

People laughed freely beside the fire, and the orange-yellow campfire hit 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 corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of relief.

“Professor, this is what you want, right?”

Maca didn’t know when he appeared beside everyone, and he also looked at the warm scene illuminated by the fire with a look of fascination.

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

Charles nodded, as if he hoped that time would stop here, and they would enjoy the peace and joy that belonged to them in the shelter.

Macka let out a long breath and sighed, “But it’s not easy to do all this, and my goal is not just that.”

“Oh?”

Charles looked at him in surprise, and became interested: “Can you tell me about your lofty ambitions?”

Macka looked up at the bright stars in the sky, “My ideal is very simple, to make everyone no longer live in humiliation, and everyone can get the most fair treatment. We don’t have to hide from place to place, and we don’t have to worry about it. Every day, we can be like tonight, around the campfire, abandon all worries, and just enjoy safety and happiness.”

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

“A lofty ideal.”

Charles also sighed.

“Maybe I’m not in the wrong place.”

Logan muttered, Macka is very courageous, but these things are too far away for 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 arguing just now were now like old friends who had met after a long time, with only the beer in their eyes.

The children around the campfire were having fun. When Laura found Logan, she trouser leg and invited him to play with her.

Until late at night, under the instruction of Macka, they reluctantly extinguished the bonfire and ended the party.

This party seemed to be one of the few embellishments in Logan’s boring escape career for more than ten years.

However, he did not find John and Klaus at the party. After asking carefully, he learned that the two were arranged by Macka to lead patrols.

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

But he was not idle either. He promised Macka to teach everyone fighting techniques and combat experience.

And these courses are not mandatory. Anyone who wants to listen can come.

But what he didn’t expect was that as long as it was his class, it was basically full. Anyone who had time in the shelter would come.

But it was normal to think about it. After all, such courses can be used by both adults and children.

In addition, his story before Wolverine gradually spread in the farm, allowing many people to understand the glory of the previous X-Men and Logan’s powerful strength, attracting many people who didn’t like fighting.

Basically, those who come to listen to the class are very serious. After all, most people in the farm have relatively useless abilities and have no combat ability.

It is precisely because of this that the government has turned a blind eye to their abilities and has not deliberately rounded them up, which has 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 against the enemy, they have to work hard on fighting skills.

Although Logan’s teaching content is the same, he still focuses 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 also made rapid progress under Logan’s teaching.

Perhaps because she inherited Logan’s talent, she has been gifted since childhood. She is a genius in fighting. Logan only needs to explain or demonstrate many things, and the girl can understand and master them.

Even Logan has repeatedly marveled at Laura’s learning ability, and sometimes even boasted to himself, “It’s worthy of Wolverine’s genes.”

Of course, Logan also knows that the girl’s talent is not entirely due to genes, but the potential that has been forcibly developed after being tortured too much inhumanely in the laboratory since childhood.

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

While Logan and Victor are teaching fighting skills and combat experience, the professor is not idle.

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

For some children with good mutant abilities and relatively high combat effectiveness, they will be sent to the professor.

And the professor is responsible for instructing them on how to operate their abilities and enhance their own strength.

Among these children, Laura and the others were all okay. Although they were not perfect in using their abilities, they were at least not too unfamiliar.

But Clarice, who Logan brought back, was a little inferior to them.

“No, you need to concentrate, think about the address you want to teleport to, remember all the details of that place, and think carefully.”

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

At this time, Clarice closed her eyes, her whole body was 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 came out, and ripples gradually appeared in the space in front of her.

“Yes, that’s it, hold on for a while, don’t open the space so quickly, and make sure of the address of the landing point.”

Charles looked at her encouragingly.

The girl listened to these words, her brows knitted together, and beads of sweat kept dripping from her forehead.

Buzz!

The space door slowly opened.

The girl looked at the scenery at the other end of the door and instantly collapsed.

Even though she had tried very hard, the distance of this space re-transmission 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 improved compared to last time.”

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

The girl looked back at Logan, nodded heavily, closed the space crack, gritted her teeth again to operate her ability, and tried to teleport herself farther.

At this time, a hurried figure suddenly ran over, signaling Clarice to stop using her abilities, and said to Logan, “Logan, come on.”

Logan was stunned, and immediately became interested, “Can we go out?”

John nodded, “McCart has contacted friends outside, there is no big danger outside, many people from SHIELD have been evacuated, and 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, “McCart said it’s time to go to the laboratory to take a look, while the laboratory has not been moved, and while Clarice can remember the address of the laboratory.”

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 detained might have cooperated with the patrol team, and they must investigate this clearly!
