American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants - Chapter 91

c91 Omega mutants, supreme power and potential!

“Logan, you’re young again.”

The next morning, at the table in the cafeteria, Caliban looked at Logan’s black hair. There was no longer any white hair, and his face looked much better.

However, he was not too surprised by this. He knew that Logan’s self-healing factor was recovering and it was normal to become younger.

“Um.”

Logan just nodded lightly.

With the self-healing factor fully restored, his physical and mental state were better than ever. Even though he drank late into the night with Victor last night, he was still very energetic now.

Victor on the side looked a little crispy.

After a night of hangover, he was obviously not fully awake yet. His hair was messy and he was yawning again and again. He looked like he was not awake.

Looking at the energetic Logan, he couldn’t help but let out a long yawn and said, “It’s the same self-healing ability, but the difference is too big.”

He looked envious. After all, everyone longs to be young after their body ages, but his own self-healing ability cannot achieve this.

“Logan’s self-healing factor is different from yours. His X gene is evolving and mutating.”

Charles spoke at the dinner table, introducing Logan’s situation.

“mutation?”

Caliban looked up from his plate. “That sounds weird.”

“Is it weird?”

Victor disagreed, “We are now the product of mutations.”

It is the genetic mutation that makes them mutants. Whether it is him, Logan, Caliban, etc., although their abilities are different, they are actually all mutations in essence.

Charles on the side put down the coffee in his hand and said with a smile: “Guys, mutation is not surprising. I think it should be a matter of pride. Mutation is the main way of evolution on this planet. All evolution occurs in the process of mutation. , and we are honored to be chosen by nature to be the first to complete the mutation.”

He has always believed that being a mutant is a matter of pride. This sense of superiority does not come from strength, but from natural selection.

From beginning to end, he felt that the emergence of mutants was very normal, just like the first fish to climb out of the sea and try to live on land hundreds of millions of years ago.

Perhaps in the eyes of the fish at that time, the guy who climbed onto the land was looking for death. Its mutated lungs looked as weird as a heresy in a cult to other fish that used gills to breathe.

But that fish succeeded. Through repeated mutations, it and its descendants survived on land and reproduced a variety of creatures, creating today’s complex and chaotic environment.

Charles believes that they are all that fish, completing an unprecedented transformation. Perhaps in the future, all humans will complete similar mutations, and they will be the pioneers of mankind.

“The professor is going to start lecturing again.”

Caliban buried his head back into his plate with a bored look on his face.

Ever since the professor became the teacher in the asylum, he has always been like this, talking endlessly about the X gene.

“I agree with the professor.”

Logan stuffed the sandwich from the dinner plate into his mouth, chewed and said, “Mutation is the normal state of living things. The reproduction of any living thing is a process of continuous evolution.”

The professor nodded and smiled with great approval: “Logan is right. This is how we mutants grow in constant mutations. The mutation of the X gene gives us mutants some unimaginable talents, and can even give birth to Omega Mutants.”

These words once again aroused Caliban’s interest. He raised his head and asked curiously: “Professor, what exactly does it mean to be an Omega mutant?”

He had heard this name many times, but he only heard about it. He didn’t know what it was exactly.

After thinking for a moment, the professor said, “Supreme power, endless potential, and something that cannot be defined or measured. This is the Omega Mutant.”

The strength of Omega mutants is immeasurable. Although professors have done research, most of them only understand the terror of 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 when he heard this, and then smiled and said: “Professor, how is this possible? According to what you said, Omega mutants are not god-like existences.”

Unlimited power, immeasurable strength, capable of destroying stars, this sounds like a fantasy. Caliban does not believe that anyone really has such strength.

Charles was silent for a while and said solemnly: “From a certain perspective, the power of Omega mutants can indeed be called gods.”

He is very aware of the strength of Omega mutants, which is a terrifying force that can destroy the entire earth. It is not an exaggeration to say that such mutants are gods.

Caliban was stunned. He saw the solemn look on the professor’s face at this time, and asked cautiously: “But such a person shouldn’t exist. If it does exist, it would be too scary.”

Charles glanced at him and suddenly fell silent. His old eyes seemed to be recalling the past, with a look of melancholy on his face.

After a long time, 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 Gray. She was the most promising mutant in the academy back then. Wolverine had witnessed her power and was even almost killed by her power.

Even looking back now, it was a sad history.

“What are you talking about.”

While they were talking, Lorna, Marcus, John, and Klaus sat down with their plates and asked with interest.

“Listening to the professor’s class.”

Logan shrugged and looked at the professor.

“If you are interested in some topics about the evolution of the X gene, you can go to the classroom together later to listen.”

The professor smiled at a few people.

Lorna and Marcos waved their hands and refused, “There are still things to be busy with.”

Several people were sitting at a table, chatting and eating breakfast. The scene was very harmonious.

While eating, Marcus suddenly said: “By the way, something else may have gotten into the shelter recently.”

As soon as these words came out, the timid Caliban suddenly panicked, “What is it? The other mutants and the guys on the picket team are not in danger, are they?”

Seeing Caliban’s panic, Marcus quickly smiled and reassured: “Don’t worry, it’s not a threat, it’s probably a wild beast in the forest. Recently, the sheep in the sheepfold have been snatched away by wild beasts from time to time. But we couldn’t find any trace of the beast.”

“oh.”

Caliban immediately felt relieved. As long as there was no danger to the entire sanctuary, he patted his chest and said, “As long as there is no danger.”

After saying that, he continued to eat his dinner with his head down.

However, 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, and then looked at Logan, “This is why I brought this up. If you are free, come with me to 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, but also a saber-toothed tiger!”

“Invite you too, Victor.”

Marcus looked at Victor and said dumbfounded.

Then he asked again: “Is it convenient for you two?”

Logan took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, nodded and said, “I can.”

Victor’s alcohol seemed to have gone away, and he squinted his eyes and smiled: “I want to see what this is, how dare you break into the tiger’s territory to steal the sheep!”

After saying that, he stuffed the sandwich into his mouth in a few bites, not looking forward to taking a look.

Later, Marcus and John take Logan and Victor to the sheepfold.

Klaus, who was still eating, kept staring at Logan’s back, hesitated to speak, and finally murmured in surprise: “Did you notice that Logan seems to have become younger? I remember the first time I saw him. When he arrived, he was an old man in his forties or fifties, but now he feels only a few years older than me, and I can hardly recognize him.”

Lorna on the side also felt the same and said: “He has indeed become a lot younger. Is he wearing makeup?”

After saying that, she looked at Caliban and Charles in confusion.

Caliban raised his head, hesitating and not knowing how to explain.

Charles, on the other hand, was very calm and said with a smile: “Don’t pay too much attention to it. 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. We are all used to this phenomenon.”

Charles explained to the two of them very calmly, trying to make Logan’s changes look normal so as not to make others suspicious.

“How amazing.”

After hearing this, Klaus didn’t have the slightest doubt. He looked at Logan seriously, his eyes shining, and he seemed to be very interested in Logan’s abilities.

Lorna on the side also nodded, “This is simply unheard of. This ability is really strange.”

Charles and Caliban looked at each other and smiled silently.

At the same time, Logan and the others were walking on their way to the sheepfold.

Logan couldn’t help but ask: “Generally, wild animals will leave some clues when hunting. Are there no clues in the sheepfold?”

Marcus in front shook his head, “We found no signs of struggle, no blood or wreckage. We also searched nearby and found no wolf fur or anything like that, and the sheepfold was not damaged.”

“It seems like it was done by a large animal. It grabbed the sheep in the sheepfold without giving any sign of struggle.”

Victor touched his chin and gave his guess, and then couldn’t help but mutter to himself: “It’s just that I don’t think there are any traces of large animals around here.”

Logan nodded and asked curiously: “Have you seen any large animals nearby?”

Marcos shook his head decisively, “I haven’t seen it before, and if it is a large animal, we will definitely be able to find their footprints or other traces, but we haven’t seen anything yet.”

These words made Logan couldn’t help but frown for a moment. It seemed that there were very few clues.

Soon, the four of them walked into a small forest.

The sheepfold was hidden in the woods by Marcus and the others. Except for grazing on weekdays, they would be kept here. As soon as he got close to the sheepfold, Logan could clearly smell a strong smell of sheep, but there was no Hear the cry of sheep.

Everyone pushed open the door of the sheepfold, which was covered with hay, but now there was only hay and not a single sheep could be seen.

“Where’s the sheep?”

Victor couldn’t help but ask, but he didn’t see half a sheep in the sheepfold.

“They are free range outside.”

Marcos pointed outside, “Sheep need to be grazed. If they are stuck in the sheep pen, they will stop eating grass.”

Logan nodded and looked carefully in the sheepfold.

Marcos followed and said, “This is the fourth sheepfold. One was just lost last night. With this one, there are already three sheep missing in the sheepfold. For the shelter, This is a huge loss.”

The shelter itself relies on the farm to make money, and the price of three sheep is indeed a considerable loss.

Then, he walked to the door frame and said, “There are no signs of damage to the door, and no footprints were found nearby. We don’t know what the problem is.”

Logan nodded. After checking around, he found nothing. The entire sheepfold was intact and there were no clues at all.

“Is it possible that the sheep never entered the sheepfold?”

Victor couldn’t help but ask. After all, the protection of this sheepfold was quite large, and ordinary wild animals could not come in to hunt.

“impossible.”

Marcos rejected the idea and added: “Our shepherd dogs are very competent and will not let any sheep stay outside overnight, and there are also dedicated people here who are responsible for counting the sheep every day after they are turned around. ”

Logan couldn’t help but frown as he listened to the conversation between the two.

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 a wild beast crawl in through the window and steal the sheep?”

Victor rolled his eyes at him, “Logan, you are thinking 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 a sheep in its mouth?”

Logan shook his head in silence, looked around, found a ladder and climbed up.

As soon as he climbed to the window, he could clearly see several clear claw marks on the frame of the window, and 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 here. Come and take a look.”

After saying that, he walked down the ladder and asked several people to come up to check.

When Marcos and others heard the clue, they quickly climbed up the ladder and carefully looked at the claw marks on the window frame.

John even took a photo and let several people carefully identify it.

“What kind of beast’s claw is this?”

To be honest, the marks on the window frame felt very strange to a few people, and they did not look like marks of beasts at all.

“I feel like this is more like the traces left by people.”

Logan put his finger in front of the screen, compared the claw marks, and couldn’t help mumbling to himself.

As soon as these words came out, several people instantly understood that this was not poaching by wild animals at all, but man-made sheep theft!

“Damn it, I didn’t expect this to be done by someone. Damn it, damn it, this is the common property of the shelter, and someone dared to steal it!”

Marcus looked angry. After all, three sheep were missing. For them, the loss was not small.

The same goes for John on the other side, with an angry look on his face, “We must catch this sheep thief!”

Logan did not participate in their anger, but just wondered: “Who steals a sheep and can’t make a fuss? And doesn’t leave any traces?”

If a strange face breaks into the flock, the sheep will definitely bark, which will not only surprise the vigilance of the sheepdog, but also attract the attention of the person standing guard.

But judging from what Marcus and the others said, it seemed that there had been nothing unusual in the sheepfold recently.

Marcus and John ignored Logan’s guess, but 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!”

“It’s boring, I thought it was some kind of beast.”

After finding out that he was a man, Victor looked bored. He had no interest in the sheep thief.

On the other hand, Logan said with great interest: “Don’t you think this is more interesting than the sheep thief? He can actually take a sheep weighing several hundred kilograms away from a wall several meters high without leaving anything behind.” Any trace.”

Logan looked at the three-wooden high wall. It was impossible for ordinary people to climb over the wall with bare hands, carrying something weighing several hundred kilograms in one hand, without leaving any clues.

“Probably some horny guy on the farm.”

Victor shrugged indifferently. What normal people can’t do, the mutants on the farm can do. After all, some people are very powerful.

Moreover, although the food on the farm is filling, it is not rich. Maybe someone is greedy and starts poaching.

“Then he wouldn’t steal three in a row, unless he has a big appetite.”

Logan smiled and dismissed the idea.

Marcus 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 weren’t still busy, I would really like to stay here with you.”

Although he didn’t have a mission, he didn’t have time either. Those children still had to wait for him to teach them fighting skills.

“You go to class first, we can just stay here.”

Marcus also knew that both Logan and Victor had the task of teaching, so he immediately asked them to leave first, while he and John were looking for some hidden place nearby to catch the sheep thief.

Logan and Victor smiled, said goodbye to them, and went to the classroom to teach.

He has a lot of classes planned today, both in the morning and afternoon.

However, the children were very serious and studied very hard, which made Logan and Victor more relaxed.

It was not until the evening that their teaching task was finished.

When they left the classroom, it was time for dinner in the canteen.

However, during the meal, Logan did not see Marcos and John. Lorna quietly told him that the two 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, it was not ruled out that the sheep thief was someone from the farm.

Victor thought they were making a fuss, it was just a few sheep.

But Lorna said seriously that the farm was in a very tight situation at the moment, and any sheep would be a huge loss, let alone three.

It was because Macka was not here today, otherwise if he knew that the sheep was lost, Marcos would be in trouble, after all, this could involve the problem of poor patrol.

Logan just smiled, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a sheep screaming from the direction of the sheepfold.

Hearing the sound, Logan’s expression changed. He guessed that the sheep thief had been caught. He quickly stood up and rushed out of the cafeteria, running towards the sheepfold.

Lorna and the others also noticed the sheep’s cry, and they didn’t care about dinner and hurriedly followed.

Even Victor, who seemed to be indifferent, actually ran out.

After running a few steps, they noticed that the sheep were running around, screaming in fear, and there were a lot of bright red blood on their white wool.
