"What are your plans? Where are you going?"
Sitting in the truck, George asked Gabriella, the Nurse, and Isa, the plump female driver.
In the movie, Gabriella sent the Mutant children to the border of North Dakota, but it wasn't just because she read the comics and thought it was the last refuge for Mutants.
She wasn't a child; how could she believe what was in comics?
Moreover, Ricktor, the leader of the Mutant children, was also in contact with an unknown force via radio.
Because of George's Mutant identity and his recent help, Gabriella had a basis of trust in George and did not conceal anything at this moment.
"We need to reach the North Dakota border by five o'clock next Friday, and then cross the border into Canada."
"Why go to Canada? Why at that time?"
A hint of confusion appeared on George's face.
Gabriella explained:
"We checked relevant information. Before Mutants disappeared, Canada was the most friendly country towards Mutants, so we proactively contacted the Canadian Government before deciding to help the children escape.
They are willing to accept this group of children but don't want to cause trouble.
So we must reach the border by five o'clock next Friday. At that time, they will try to interfere with the satellites in that area and then meet us on the other side of the border."
"So it's the Canadian Government."
George suddenly understood. He had seen the X-Men series, so he knew the general situation, but he didn't know some specific details.
He was indeed unaware of things like the Canadian Government being close to Mutants, or rather, not being so exclusive of Mutants.
However, he then frowned, because he personally didn't trust the Canadian Government much.
A government is not an individual; it has many things to consider, and a change in leadership can mean a change in stance. Even if the Canadian Government was not exclusive of Mutants in the past, what about now?
Will these Mutant children become new test subjects after they go there?
He would definitely not choose such an unsecured path.
So, he also told Gabriella his views.
Gabriella was surprised that George, a Mutant who had never left the Base, could have such long-term considerations.
However, her answer was also helpless:
"There's no choice. Even if we know there might be danger, we have no other option because we really can't think of a better way."
Working in this cruel experimental Base, how could they not understand the ugliness of human nature, and how could they not worry that the children might enter another hell once they got there?
But they had no choice, because they were all powerless people at the lowest rung of society, only their inner kindness had not yet been extinguished.
The children would surely die if they stayed in this experimental Base, but going to Canada might still offer some hope.
"Indeed, sometimes life is just that helpless."
George also sighed upon hearing this.
In his previous life, he was also at the bottom of society, and he had experienced many such helpless choices, though not as cruel.
But after thinking about it carefully, he also had no good ideas. He was unfamiliar with this World.
However, he would not put his fate in the hands of the Canadian Government. After sending this group of children to the border, he would leave and hide.
Saving these children was already an act of utmost benevolence. To protect them and follow them to Canada to be restrained by the Canadian Government? That was impossible.
Escorting them to the border was his limit.
At this moment, he had clearly forgotten the somewhat selfish reason he used to convince himself at the crossroads.
"We've arrived in Juarez. After purchasing some necessary daily necessities, we'll go directly to the border, then enter New Mexico, and head straight north to North Dakota.
If all goes well, it will only take about two days!"
After two hours of high-speed driving, the truck entered Juarez, a city in northeastern Mexico. George also poked his head out to look.
He had heard of this city in his previous life, but it wasn't for a good reputation.
Juarez, a border city in northeastern Mexico, on the south bank of the Rio Grande, across the river from El Paso, U.S., is known as one of the most violent cities in the World. At its craziest, nearly 15,000 people were killed in criminal incidents over six years.
This city gathered the most drug dealers in Mexico and was the main source of drugs in the U.S.
"Breaking News: Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Industries and the famous playboy, was kidnapped today in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, and his whereabouts are still unknown."
The truck stopped in front of a large supermarket. As Gabriella and Isa went to buy daily necessities, George, who stayed behind, was suddenly drawn to the news broadcast on the TV in front of the supermarket.
"The event when Iron Man was born!"
His body trembled, and something suddenly came to his mind. A smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Perhaps, things still have a new turn."
Recalling all the Marvel movies he had watched in his previous life and considering it carefully, he had a new idea in his heart.
For him, rather than trusting the government's character, it was better to trust Tony Stark's character. Although this guy was a bit of a womanizer and a bit arrogant, his character was still fine.
Moreover, as one of the largest capitalists in the United States, even the government couldn't do anything to him; he wouldn't hand over the Iron Man Suit if he didn't want to.
Just like the former Professor X, the reason he could open a Mutant School in New York, besides the strength of the X-Men, was more importantly that Professor X himself was a great tycoon, and his family was also a prominent capitalist.
If they could get Tony Stark's protection, these young Mutants could not only avoid a lot of trouble but also enjoy the education and life of normal people.
And he could also have a peaceful place to study magic.
As for getting involved with Tony Stark, would he be dragged into some later events and face greater danger?
This kind of thing is actually unavoidable. One can only say to solve the current trouble first, win a relatively safe period of time to improve strength as much as possible, as being strong is the ultimate way.
Moreover, he also had his own thoughts about whether to participate in those major events in the future.
If this were the movie Universe, he would definitely hide far away. Even if Thanos snapped his fingers, he would eventually be saved anyway, so there was no need to participate. Wouldn't it be better to just study magic?
But this was not the movie Universe; it was an unknown Marvel Universe mixed with Mutants, so it was hard to say.
Because it was very possible that in a certain major event, the entire Earth would be gone, and since he lived on this Planet, he naturally couldn't escape.
Rather than entrusting his fate to those superheroes, it was better to entrust it to himself.
Perhaps if he helped out at a critical moment, he could get through those major events, thereby ensuring the safety of the Earth and himself.
So, contact was bound to happen sooner or later.
"Now, the most important thing is how to rescue Tony Stark and make him owe me a favor."
George stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.
To make Tony Stark, this top tycoon, owe him a favor and genuinely help them, it could only be a life-saving grace.
But with just him and his current strength, how could he rescue Tony Stark? He didn't even know his exact location, only that he seemed to be in a cave in some desert.
