Da-da-da—
Pu-pu-pu—
Dense bullets rained down on Logan Howlett, forcing him to abandon his attempt to sever X-24's head. Instead, he crossed his arms in front of him and charged towards the group of mercenaries firing from the hillside below like a heavily armored tank.
Even surrounded, Logan Howlett's face showed no fear, only rage!
The bullets that struck him were almost instantly forced out of his flesh.
Seeing this, even Logan Howlett himself felt a little bewildered.
Because he suddenly realized that his healing ability seemed to be much stronger than it was in his prime?
And whether it was his imagination or not, he felt like the density of his skin and muscles had also changed quite a bit.
But now was clearly not the time to carefully examine the changes in his body.
Killing the enemy was the top priority!
“Roar—”
Logan Howlett seemed to have transformed back into the spirited 【Wolverine】 of his younger days.
His combat skills, honed to near instinct, combined with his beast-like physique, sent him diving down towards the mercenary army.
Claws wreathed in red flames swept back and forth through the enemy ranks, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, ending lives filled with sin.
…
【Reputation +8, +14, +7…】
【Collectible souls detected, Subspace Souls +1, +1, +1…】
…
A few short minutes later, the chaotic battle came to an end.
The corpse-strewn hillside was left with only Logan Howlett and X-24 as complete living beings... no, it should be said that there was only one living being left.
Because that freak cloned from his genetic material was about to die too!
“Roar—”
X-24 regained his courage and, taking advantage of the terrain, launched one last charge at Logan Howlett from above.
“It's time to finish you off, you piece of trash.”
A look of disdain appeared on Logan Howlett's face. Then, at the moment X-24 was about to reach him, he swung his claws with incredible precision, piercing the other's “metal head”.
So what if X-24 was cloned from Logan Howlett's genetic material?
Even if Dr. Zander Rice could replicate his flesh and bones, he couldn't replicate the combat experience accumulated in his brain.
So a fake is a fake!
Even if 【Secondary Adamantium】 also possessed indestructible properties, it was still insignificant in the face of true 【Proto-Adamantium】.
“Laura, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you…”
Logan Howlett flicked the blood and brain matter from his claws, staring at Donald Pierce, who was fleeing in the distance. The killing intent emanating from him at this moment was almost suffocating.
“Damn it, this… how is this possible?!”
Donald Pierce was clearly frightened by the hellish scene before him. The old guy he regarded as trash suddenly seemed to be possessed by some dirty thing, single-handedly wiping out the entire mercenary group?
Even X-24 hadn't been spared?
He had even stepped on the other's face before...
What chance did he have?
Time to run!
Donald Pierce immediately abandoned the little wolf girl in his arms and fled towards 【Eden】.
…
Meanwhile, in 【Eden】.
Severed limbs were scattered everywhere on the ground.
Dr. Zander Rice and the few remaining mercenaries hid behind a broken wall, shouting at Frank, who was approaching at a leisurely pace:
“Sir, please stop, or I'll have to order them to open fire on the child. You wouldn't want to see such a tragedy, would you?”
As he spoke, a mercenary roughly dragged a mutant girl with short, dark green hair from the side and pointed a gun at her head.
Seeing that Frank hadn't continued his attack, Dr. Zander Rice breathed a long sigh of relief and then asked, with a puzzled expression:
“Sir, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zander Rice, and I'm the head of 【Alkali Transigen】. I think there must be some misunderstanding between us…”
“If you weren't deliberately toying with me just now, then I really can't understand… you're not even a 【Mutant】, why are you wading into these muddy waters for this group of trash and making enemies of us?”
“Misunderstanding?”
Frank curled his lip and said with a sneer, “There's no misunderstanding at all. I really can't be bothered with you filthy things, and I don't care about the lives of these 【Mutants】… but the problem is, your current actions have provoked an employee of our 【Subspace Group】.”
“Ah?”
Dr. Zander Rice was immediately dumbfounded.
What 【Subspace Group】?
What employee?
What was he talking about?
Wait!
Dr. Zander Rice suddenly remembered the news he had seen about the alien invasion of 【Greenwich】. It seemed that the 【Subspace Group】 had completely annihilated the 【Dark Elf Clan】 at that time?
And that ape god who was invincible on Titan also seemed to belong to this company.
Damn it, could it be that coincidental?
But if that were the case, it would seem to explain why the man in front of him was so outrageously strong.
Clearly, Dr. Zander Rice was still unaware of the great battle that had taken place in 【New York】 that day, or he might have wet himself in fear.
After a moment of contemplation, Dr. Zander Rice tentatively asked, “Sir, could the employee you're talking about be Logan Howlett?”
“That's right.”
It's over, isn't it BBQ time?
“Uh… Sir, no offense, but our actions have never been directed at him?”
Dr. Zander Rice explained with a tearful face, “Although many years ago, I was indeed dedicated to eliminating all mutants, after successfully developing the 【M43 Virus】, my research direction shifted to how to better master the mutant abilities in them.”
“This time, the targets we captured were all test subjects who escaped from my laboratory. If we have offended Mr. Logan or your company in the process, I sincerely apologize and am willing to pay a huge sum of compensation.”
Clearly, Dr. Zander Rice wanted to settle the matter with money.
There was no other way, the enemy was just too troublesome.
Neither Frank in front of him nor the 【Subspace Group】 behind him were entities that he could afford to provoke.
So he had to bow his head when he needed to, it wasn't embarrassing.
“So it was you who did it!!”
Before Frank could speak, Logan Howlett's angry voice came from behind him.
Then, two figures, one large and one small, walked into 【Eden】, none other than Logan Howlett and the little wolf girl X-23.
Thump—
Logan Howlett threw a bloody head near Dr. Zander Rice.
Needless to say, this head was naturally that of Donald Pierce, the head of the 【Reavers】.
“You bastard, in order to cultivate your own 'Mutants', you used despicable means to kill all the original 【Mutants】?”
When Logan Howlett thought of the desperate situation he and Professor X had experienced in the past ten years, and the tragic scenes before the deaths of his former 【X-Men】 friends, the anger in his heart was completely ignited, and he couldn't wait to personally skin Dr. Zander Rice alive.
“Mr. Logan, I think you've misunderstood…”
Dr. Zander Rice was shocked to see this. One Frank was already deadly enough, but now there was another 【Wolverine】, it was simply adding insult to injury.
If he didn't find a way to explain it clearly now, he was afraid that all of them would die here.
The latest and most complete novels are first published in the 69 Bookstore!
After hesitating for a moment, Dr. Zander Rice finally decided to tell the truth behind the scenes.
“Mr. Logan, in fact, I didn't want to do such a cruel thing in the first place, but this 【Mutant Extinction Plan】 was actually secretly initiated by 【.】 more than a decade ago, and then officially implemented after being tacitly approved by the 【Security Council】.”
“What did you say?” Logan Howlett asked with an incredulous expression, “That bastard 【.】 was also involved?”
“That's right.”
Dr. Zander Rice didn't dare to hide anything at this time, and nodded like a treasure:
“Since my father was a researcher in the 【Weapon X Project】, Nick Fury, the director of 【.】 at that time, secretly found me.
He wanted me to lead a research team to develop a secret virus that could completely exterminate the 【Mutants】 lurking among humans through 'genetically modified food'.”
“To this end, they not only provided my company with a lot of financial support, but also provided me with a lot of mutant data and blood samples…
It was with these important experimental samples that my team was able to successfully develop the 【M43 Virus】 in just a few years, which would not cause any impact on ordinary people, but would curb the abilities of mutants and completely eliminate the mutant genes that randomly appear in humans during the reproduction process.”
“Next, raw materials carrying the 【M43 Virus】 began to be distributed to food, beverage, and fast food companies produced by major related companies around the world through the official secret channels of 【.】 and the 【Security Council】…”
Dr. Zander Rice didn't continue, but the result was obvious.
The effect of this 【Mutant Extinction Plan】 initiated by 【.】… was quite successful!!
Nowadays, looking at the whole world, I am afraid that there are less than a handful of “natural” mutants still alive, except for Logan Howlett and Professor X.
And X-23, because she is a newly cultivated mutant, will not be affected by the 【M43 Virus】.
“Nick Fury, sooner or later I will personally skin you alive, you black ghost!!”
Logan Howlett roared angrily at the sky.
But the next second, he rushed towards Dr. Zander Rice and others like an arrow leaving the string.
The little wolf girl followed closely behind.
“Look, this child is obviously Logan's seed, her temper and behavior are exactly like they were carved out of the same mold.”
Frank smacked his lips and marveled like a melon-eating crowd, “But I didn't expect that 【.】 would be involved in this matter, Boss will definitely be interested in this news.”
Then he took out his phone and called Karl.
“Damn it… Mr. Logan, you listen to my explanation…”
Dr. Zander Rice watched helplessly as the few mercenaries who were originally blocking in front of him were dismembered by 【Wolverine】 and the little wolf girl in minutes, and he was directly frightened and collapsed to the ground.
He was about to say something, but the next second his head was chopped off by sharp wolf claws.
This death was just like his father's decades ago.
And his father was one of the scientists who personally injected 【Adamantium】 into Logan Howlett's body at that time.
Later, he was dismembered on the spot after 【Wolverine】 lost control and went berserk.
In this way, with the death of Dr. Zander Rice, this great chase spanning thousands of kilometers finally came to an end.
And besides the little wolf girl X-23, only one girl with dark green hair was left among the dozens of mutant test subjects who had previously escaped from the laboratory.
“Sister Lorna, it's so good that you're okay.”
X-23 ran over and hugged the green-haired girl who was pale and obviously frightened.
“Laura, is he your father… 【Wolverine】?”
After her emotions calmed down a little, the girl named Lorna looked at Logan with some curiosity.
Although they, these “artificial” mutants, all grew up in the laboratory, they were not unfamiliar with 【Wolverine】 and the 【X-Men】 at all.
Because every time after receiving a day of combat testing and physical examination, these naturally active children would spontaneously gather together to read the comic books about the 【X-Men】.
Although 【Wolverine】's behavior in the comics was full of violence and slaughter, the children liked his longing and pursuit of freedom very much.
It is no exaggeration to say that 【Wolverine】 is their life mentor in the pursuit of free will.
However, Lorna really found it difficult to associate the sloppy-looking old man in front of her with the handsome and strong 【Wolverine】 in the comics.
“That's right, the real deal!” X-23 said proudly.
“Okay, Laura, we should go.”
Logan Howlett glanced at Lorna and didn't say much. He came specifically to rescue his daughter, at least the life and death of other mutants had nothing to do with him.
It's not that he's heartless.
But if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Karl and join the 【Subspace Group】, he would probably still be worrying about how many dollars he could earn today, and whether it would be enough to buy diapers for Charles.
How could he have the leisure to care about other people?
Besides, Logan Howlett had never considered himself a savior; what did the fate of others have to do with him?
"Daddy, can we bring Lorna with us?!"
