"Is this the famous Professor X? He looks much younger than in the movies."
George watched Professor X being pushed out of the water tank by Wolverine, thinking to himself.
It made sense; if it were 2029 as in the movie, Professor X would be ninety-seven years old, but it was actually 2009, making Professor X seventy-seven.
"If Professor X can recover his abilities, then our safety will be guaranteed. Even if he can't fully recover, if his mind returns to normal, he can still help these children better develop their abilities."
At this moment, he decided that when he went to study magic at Hogwarts in the future, he would also spend more time on healing magic.
If modern technology couldn't cure Professor X, then he would try to treat him with magic.
One must know, Professor X was the most powerful psychic in the World.
He could read others' thoughts and memories without physical contact, directly strip and control others' minds, and simultaneously control their actions through his psychic abilities.
If he were also equipped with a Cerebro, he could even kill all ordinary humans and Mutants on Earth.
"New species, new Mutants, good, good, good, Logan, you must help them, they need you!"
Professor X looked at the children standing in front of him, especially Little Wolf Girl Laura, and two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably.
He tightly gripped one of Wolverine's hands:
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and you will have new family members. Don't give up on yourself, everything will get better."
"Then promise me, you also won't give up. They also need your guidance, just as you once guided us."
Wolverine's eyes slowly became resolute, as if he had transformed back into the fearless warrior he once was.
At this moment, George walked over:
"No time to lose, those people from the Base won't let us go so easily. We can't stay here too long.
Now we split into two groups. Logan and I will go to New York to find a way to rescue Tony Stark.
Professor, Caliban, Gabriella, and Isa, you take the children to the North Dakota border and wait for our news.
Be careful, the Base has created a clone of Logan. Caliban, you must constantly watch for new Mutants approaching. If you find any, you must move quickly."
"A clone of Logan?"
Caliban's pupils constricted, then he pointed to the south:
"If I'm not mistaken, the guy you're talking about is here."
Following Caliban's refer to, a long convoy of vehicles faintly appeared on the distant, open land.
George's eyes narrowed:
"Faster than I imagined. Good, this is a good opportunity to deal with it, otherwise it will be trouble later."
He had long anticipated the pursuit from the Base. With Yake Lai's financial resources and status, it was not difficult to obtain relevant surveillance from local agencies.
It was impossible for such a large truck to hide its tracks.
Before, if they had been caught, it would have been quite troublesome, because even if he could use magnetism to change bullet trajectories and become a super marksman, it would be useless against X-24.
Running out of bullets would mean his death.
But now it was different. It wasn't that Wolverine could defeat X-24, it was that he knew Wolverine had an Adamantium bullet, originally saved for suicide, which could be used against X-24.
Killing X-24 would temporarily remove any major danger from the Base. It wouldn't be quick to create another Wolverine clone.
This way, when they went to rescue Tony Stark, they wouldn't have to worry about the children being threatened by the Base.
If there was an opportunity to kill Sander Rice, that would be even more perfect.
"I have a plan."
Turning to look at Wolverine, he quickly explained his strategy.
On the other side, Commander Donald, sitting in an armed jeep, was also making strategic deployments via walkie-talkie.
"In a moment, surround the factory building. Don't let anyone escape.
If there's any movement, shoot to kill immediately, especially Experiment 757."
According to his boss's orders, he mobilized all available connections and quickly found the large truck's tracks, also discovering that the escaped Mutants had made contact with Wolverine, who was living in seclusion in El Paso.
They had actually known about Wolverine and Professor's whereabouts for a long time.
The reason they hadn't pursued them like other Mutants was because the boss said that letting them barely survive like this would make them suffer more than killing them.
However, now that the escaped Mutant children were mixed in with Wolverine and them, it became a bit difficult to handle.
So, after getting the boss's approval, they brought X-24 this time as a precaution.
Originally, the boss wanted to come personally to see X-24's combat effectiveness, but he had been slightly injured in the previous laboratory explosion, and also worried about 757's marksmanship, so he stayed at the Base.
The convoy, consisting of more than twenty vehicles, surrounded the dilapidated factory building. Each vehicle was filled with burly men wearing bulletproof vests and carrying live ammunition. After getting out, they held their guns and occupied various firing positions, numbering close to a hundred.
And at a certain distance from the factory building, on the roof of an armored vehicle about the size of a bus, a sniper was ambushed, and inside the vehicle was the ultimate trump card, X-24.
"I didn't expect to meet you this way, Wolverine, my former idol. Hand over those children, and I can leave you and that old man to live in peace."
Donald took off his Sun glasses, his hands behind his back, as he sized up Wolverine, who stood alone at the factory entrance, his tone full of mockery.
From his demeanor, it was clear he didn't hold the once famous Wolverine in any regard.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. This is private property, please leave."
Wolverine thought about George's previous strategy of stalling for time, suppressing the urge to stab this bastard with his claws, and patiently persuaded him.
Donald pointed to the large truck at the entrance:
"You disappoint me greatly. You might not be able to bear the price of deceiving me."
"I don't know whose truck that is. There truly isn't anyone you're looking for here."
Wolverine still flatly denied it.
Donald ignored Wolverine and directly signaled his subordinates to search the water tank.
Just then, Wolverine quickly pulled a vial of reagent from his pocket and swiftly injected it into his arm.
