Just now, in the Water tank, Gabriella and Isa witnessed the entire battle outside through surveillance, gaining a clearer understanding of Wolverine and George's combat capabilities, especially after Professor spoke to them.
According to Professor, trying to reach New York, find information about Tony Stark, and then go to the Middle East for a rescue, all within a mere six days, was almost impossible.
Even if it were accomplished, it would be fraught with danger.
This was essentially risking Wolverine and George's lives.
Moreover, the well-informed Professor also advised against the children going to Canada to have their future lives arranged by the Canadian Government.
So, after careful consideration and discussion, they decided to completely abandon their previous cooperation with the Canadian Government and no longer proceed to the North Dakota border, but instead find a safe place to settle down first.
Then, they would carefully plan how to rescue Tony Stark.
Even if this plan ultimately failed, as long as they worked together, they could defeat the people from the Base who they previously thought were impossible to defeat, and ensure the children lived well.
This time, the opponent came with such a large force, yet they were still beaten and fled in disarray.
Previously, they thought it was impossible for them to single-handedly confront Yake Lai, but now, it seemed not entirely impossible.
"As expected of Professor X, even if he can't use his powers, his ability to persuade people with his words is truly unmatched by ordinary individuals."
Upon hearing Gabriella's reply, George's eyes immediately lit up.
He naturally agreed wholeheartedly with Gabriella's decision; rescuing Tony Stark in six days, although not as life-threatening as Professor suggested due to his plot advantage, was indeed not that easy.
New York was a place with intricate and complex forces, and who could guarantee everything would go smoothly?
If he had ample time to prepare, and his abilities developed further, allowing him to deflect sniper bullets, or if he learned a few more magic spells at Hogwarts, then the success rate would naturally increase significantly.
Crucially, if he remembered correctly, Tony Stark had told Pepper in the car in the movie that he had been imprisoned in the cave for over three months.
So, normally speaking, they didn't need to be that anxious.
Or, if his strength became powerful enough in these few months to acquire enough money to buy Stark Industries shares, then whether or not to rescue Tony Stark seemed to become less important.
He wanted to rescue Tony Stark for money, so that Tony Stark could shelter them and allow them to live normal lives.
But if they were strong enough and also had money, there would be no need to seek out Tony Stark.
Because cooperating with Tony Stark would inevitably attract S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention meant HYDRA's attention, thereby leading to greater trouble.
"Six days is indeed a tight schedule. Since you've already made a decision, let's leave here first, find a safe place, and then discuss what to do next."
George nodded at Gabriella, then led everyone to collect the submachine guns and grenades from the bodies, and then quickly left the abandoned factory.
In the current situation, as long as they quickly leave the border and go to a slightly more distant place, it will be very difficult for the Base personnel to reorganize and find them again.
Yake Lai could access the surveillance in this small border town because it was chaotic enough that many things could be settled with money.
But they were not official national organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D., the FBI, and the CIA; ostensibly, they were just businessmen, and it was impossible for their influence to spread throughout the entire United States, otherwise they would have been eliminated long ago.
In the movie, if Donald hadn't utilized Caliban's tracking ability, it wouldn't have been so easy to find Wolverine and Professor.
Moreover, now that X-24 has been killed, before a new clone is created, it's estimated that the other party won't pursue them again, as they simply can't win.
So, if nothing unexpected happens, after this major battle, there should be no more movement from the Base for several months, allowing them to safely re-plan their next steps.
On the highway, Isa was driving the large truck in front, while George, Gabriella, Wolverine, Caliban, and Professor X sat with the children in the covered back, discussing their next destination.
After some discussion, they summarized the following points.
First, the place they were going to stay next could not be in the city center, as this would easily expose their whereabouts and attract the attention of the government and Yake Lai.
Second, the place they stayed could not be too remote, because whether it was for the children's education, the medication Professor needed, or their daily lives, a too remote place could not satisfy their needs.
Also, it's difficult to get money in too remote places. If they don't go the route of rescuing Tony Stark, then they need to get money to buy Stark shares.
How to quickly get money?
Normal methods certainly wouldn't work. As the saying goes, 'murder and arson make a golden belt,' so naturally, they would take from others, such as criminal businessmen and gangs.
In too remote places, people are rarely seen, let alone wealthy individuals, so naturally, they wouldn't get much money.
Third, they couldn't be too far from New York.
On one hand, they still needed to continue monitoring news about Tony Stark, ready to implement a rescue plan as soon as there was news.
On the other hand, George had his own reason, which was that New York was a hub for major events, especially with the Chitauri invasion a few years later, and he needed to be nearby to observe.
If nothing happened, he naturally wouldn't need to participate, but if an accident occurred, he would need to prepare early.
Otherwise, if he was practicing magic one day and the entire Earth was destroyed, he wouldn't survive either.
"Actually, we can go back to school, back to the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."
After the summary, Professor X suddenly spoke.
However, Wolverine's expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately rejected it:
"No, it's too dangerous. The government is still looking for you. Going back to school would be walking into a trap."
In reality, what he was worried about wasn't the government's pursuit.
After all, that was twenty-five years ago. They hadn't appeared in twenty-five years, and the government leaders must have changed several times by now. The current officials should have long assumed they were dead.
He was worried that returning to New York, returning to the school, would make Professor recall the memories that had been deliberately sealed, remembering that he himself had killed all the Mutants in the entire school.
Upon hearing this, two lines of tears instantly streamed down Professor X's eyes:
"Logan, do you know, while you were fighting just now, I remembered everything, all that happened back then.
With the crimes I've committed, I shouldn't even be alive anymore.
But now, I want to live, not for myself, but for these children.
I want to properly treat and recover my abilities, I want to protect the hope of these Mutants, and atone for the sins I committed back then."
At this point, Professor X choked up and continued:
"The Cerebro room that Beast made in the school's Underground Room, once sealed and a special switch activated, can block my brainwaves. This way, if I lose control again due to an accident, the same tragedy won't happen."
