“Laura, watch out behind you!!”
At that moment, Logan suddenly sprang from behind, slashing a Extremis soldier who was trying to sneak attack the little wolf girl from behind, splitting him in two.
The Extremis soldier didn't even have time to self-destruct before his blood stained the ground red.
The other Extremis soldiers who were trying to surround the two from the left and right sides were directly crushed into mincemeat by two huge containers that fell from the sky.
The one who attacked was none other than Lorna Dane – and her mutant ability was precisely the [Magneto]'s [Magnetic Control]!!
Although Lorna Dane's control over [Magnetism] is far from reaching the terrifying level of [Magneto] in his youth, it has already begun to show.
Earlier, when she was being chased by the [Marauders] in [Eden Garden].
Because the weapons used by those mercenaries were all specially treated demagnetizing weapons aimed at the abilities of these mutant experimental subjects.
Plus, there were no large metals nearby that could be used, so she was easily captured.
But the situation now is completely different.
Looking at the entire dock, there are no less than eight thousand to ten thousand containers stacked around, densely packed like small mountains.
So as long as Lorna Dane's physical and mental strength can keep up, this place will directly become her home field!
“……”
Logan turned his head and glanced at Lorna Dane behind him, not saying much, just nodding slightly, obviously acknowledging her ability.
Then he and the little wolf girl, one in front and one behind, began to advance towards the oil tanker with tacit cooperation, clearing all obstacles in the path for Lorna Dane behind him.
Actually, Logan didn't want to do this originally.
After all, he and Lorna Dane have no blood relationship, and there is no need to stand up for her at this time.
But after Professor X's persuasion, he changed his mind.
As a member of the [Mutants], and one of the last four remaining mutants in the world, he has an obligation to do something for the only two young people left.
Even if they have no blood relationship.
So Logan took the initiative to apply to Frank today to cover Lorna Dane's rescue operation!
Frank naturally had no objection to this.
He only looks at the results… whether it's teamwork or personal ability, as long as it meets his requirements, it's considered complete!
“Uncle Logan, Laura, this distance should be enough.”
After advancing a certain distance, Lorna Dane suddenly stopped, then raised her hand and aimed at President Matthew Ellis, who was hanging in the air in the distance.
Buzz——
An invisible magnetic force was emitted from Lorna Dane's palm, and it directly tore the two baby arm-thick iron chains that locked President Matthew Ellis's arms from the middle, even from a distance of nearly a hundred meters.
Then, before the Extremis soldiers could react, she dragged President Matthew Ellis's figure into the sky, slowly flying towards her direction.
“Damn, are they from [.]?!”
Aldrich Killian was the first to react, his sharp eyes looked at the three of Lorna Dane below, and immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and ordered the staff in the control room to temporarily cut off the live broadcast.
At this time, he didn't know that the real-time picture here had already been transmitted back by the [Daily Bugle]'s drone, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to do this.
Then Aldrich Killian raised his hand and pointed to the location where the president was falling below, and ordered a group of his subordinates:
“Kill all those annoying guys for me, and be sure to capture the president back before the execution countdown ends!!”
“Yes.”
Dozens of Fire Lizard warriors jumped directly from the bridge frame, which was dozens of meters high, and then rushed towards the direction where Lorna Dane and others were with a menacing aura.
Aldrich Killian and Eric Savin also followed closely behind, leaving only Tony Stark and the Human Torch with bewildered faces.
Because the range of twisting of the two people's necks is limited, they don't know what happened behind them for the time being.
“Mr. Stark, it seems that someone just rescued the president?”
The Human Torch shouted loudly towards the back: “Hey, don't just rescue the president, come and help me and Mr. Stark…”
“Do I need you to tell me that? I'm not blind!”
Tony Stark rolled his eyes, then looked at the iron chains on both sides, trying to seize this unattended opportunity to find a way to escape.
“That… do you think it might be reinforcements from [.]?”
The Human Torch twisted his neck hard, hoping to see a little bit of the scene behind him, but several attempts all ended in failure, and in the end, he could only use words to relieve the fear in his heart.
“Idiot, how could it be someone from [.]?”
Tony Stark reprimanded mercilessly: “Please, use your brain a little, okay? If the person who came is really a member of [.], why would they only rescue President Ellis and leave the two of us here to bask in the sun?!”
“And judging from the way those two chains broke just now, the person who attacked is mostly a superpower user who can remotely use something similar to [Telekinesis]… Neither [.] nor the [Avengers] have such a person!”
“So the biggest possibility right now is that, in addition to the two of us, the [White House] has also dispatched other president rescue teams.”
During this process, the Human Torch on the side was like a child listening attentively to the class, nodding constantly with Tony Stark's analysis.
A touch of clear stupidity that didn't match his age would appear on his fairly handsome face from time to time. After Tony Stark finished speaking, he asked foolishly:
“Then if the person who came is a superpower user? Then it's probably likely that they are from the [Vought International], right?”
“You better pray it's not…”
Tony Stark rolled his eyes again, and before the Human Torch on the side, who was full of incomprehension, could ask, he took the lead in explaining quietly:
“You may not know it yet, but the relationship between [Vought International] and [.] has never been very harmonious, and it's not an exaggeration to say that they are tit-for-tat…”
“Nick Fury's paranoia is very serious. He has always adopted an antagonistic strategy towards those forces that he cannot control, so he has tripped up [Vought International] more than once, both openly and secretly…”
“If the person who came to rescue President Ellis this time is really a superpower from [Vought International], maybe the other party will eliminate Killian's group at the same time, and also destroy the two of us along the way!!”
Regarding Nick Fury's serious paranoia, it is not a secret within [.] or in the [Avengers].
Because as long as you have had in-depth contact with that black ghost, you can clearly detect this.
Tony Stark, who is quick-witted, is naturally no exception.
However, as an elite in the [American] business world, Tony Stark does not reject the other party's seemingly terrible personality.
Even… he admires Nick Fury's approach a little.
In Tony Stark's view, the business world is like a battlefield, and the saying “Benevolence does not control soldiers” is a golden rule even in the business world!
Especially after personally experiencing the betrayal of Obadiah Stane, who was like a teacher and a father.
Now, Tony Stark no longer believes in anyone other than a few friends such as Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan.
So from this point of view alone, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Nick Fury doing this.
“Oh, shit? Isn't it going to be so unlucky?!” Hearing this, the Human Torch's face suddenly showed a bitter expression, and he couldn't help but complain:
“Am I going to die here today? I haven't officially become famous yet… I suddenly regret that I didn't listen to my sister and choose to join [.] back then.”
“Fury is probably thinking the same thing now. He should have refused a fool like you to join back then.”
Tony Stark struggled tentatively a few times, but found that in his current posture of being hung in the air, he couldn't exert any strength on his body at all, so he gave up struggling somewhat dejectedly, turned his head to look at the Human Torch and said:
“Can't you use your flames to burn these iron chains off?”
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ release!
“Do you think I don't want to?!”
The Human Torch suddenly shook his head listlessly, like a deflated ball, “But the energy in my body is now used up. Without eating to replenish energy, it will take at least 12 hours or more to barely recover.”
“What a piece of iron waste…”
Tony Stark turned his head to the other side angrily, too lazy to pay attention to this waste.
He suddenly began to miss his Iron Man suit.
If all models of the suit hadn't been blown up by Kamazotz last time, he would only need to notify [Jarvis] now, and those Iron Man suits could automatically drive over to support him.
Sure enough, it's better to rely on yourself than on others.
Tony Stark secretly made up his mind in his heart that if he could successfully escape this time, he would go back and build an [Iron Legion] no matter what.
So that when he encounters similar situations in the future, he can provide himself with support in the first time!
And at this time.
On the dock behind him and the Human Torch, a new round of battle has already begun.
Dang——
Logan, like an old smoker, held a cigar in his mouth. The [Primitive Adamantium Claws] between his fists collided suddenly in front of him, arousing sparks, and at the same time, a blood-red flame suddenly burned on the sharp claws.
[Khorne]: Buff is in place, please start your performance!
“Wow, Dad, is this your new trick?”
Seeing this, the little wolf girl on the side shook her little wolf claws with a look of eagerness to try, and said, “It's so cool, can you teach me too?”
“This…”
Logan originally wanted to perfunctorily answer with the old-fashioned answer of 'you are still young, I will tell you when you grow up', which was full of fatherly flavor.
But when he saw the girl's innocent face full of worship and expectation, his heart suddenly softened, and he truthfully said:
“As long as you offer absolute loyalty to the Boss, you will naturally receive His blessing when the time is right.”
“Dad, what is loyalty?”
The little wolf girl asked with a puzzled face.
Obviously, for a child of her age, she doesn't understand the meaning of such a profound word.
“Uh… how should I explain this?”
As everyone knows, Logan is the worst at using his brain in his life.
Because Professor X has always done this kind of work, so in the end he can only try to say it in an easy-to-understand way:
“You can temporarily understand it as listening to the Boss, whatever he tells you to do, you do… well, it should be like this!”
“Ah? So simple?”
The little wolf girl blinked her big watery eyes, obviously a little disbelieving.
“That's right, it's that simple.”
Logan scratched his hair a little embarrassedly, and then assured him with certainty: “Child, don't doubt, this is my personal experience… When I went to [Eden Garden] to rescue you, if I hadn't accidentally received the Boss's blessing, I'm afraid I would have died there…”
Realizing that he had slipped his tongue, Logan quickly raised his voice and changed the subject: “Ahem, in short, believe me, that's right!”
The reason why Logan deliberately didn't tell the little wolf girl the truth about his near-death experience was because he didn't want her to bear such a heavy psychological burden at such a young age.
Although Logan has always positioned himself as not being a qualified father, he is actually caring about this biological daughter in his heart!
“Well, I know Dad will never lie to me.”
The little wolf girl stopped asking questions, nodded very obediently, and then roared and rushed towards the oncoming Fire Lizard warrior.
It's just that in the direction Logan couldn't see, a little bit of tears vaguely appeared in the little girl's eyes.
Dad, thank you!!!
“Hey, Laura, the enemy is very dangerous, don't start the attack so rashly.”
Seeing this, Logan quickly followed up with his agile movements, using his thick body to protect his daughter.
The father and daughter's attack methods were exactly the same, not to mention the degree of tacit understanding. In the blink of an eye, they were entangled with the Fire Lizard warrior who rushed to the front first.
However, unlike the Extremis soldiers who didn't have time to transform before, the strength, speed, and high temperature released from the Fire Lizard warrior in front of him were all improved by more than one level compared to the former.
So seeing that Logan and the little wolf girl couldn't quickly end the battle, they had to give up the idea of “headshotting” him in one blow, and instead changed to another set of more flexible and varied fighting styles.
And using the natural advantage that the high temperature released by the opponent is not enough to melt the [Adamantium Claws], they kept harassing the enemy while maintaining a certain distance.
Soon, the father and daughter successfully created an opening through flanking from front and back, and found an opportunity to kill him.
Finally, the more agile little wolf girl took action and completed the ultimate kill - using her wolf claws to pierce the opponent's brain!!
