Carol finally came back to her senses. She was embarrassed, but she didn't stop chewing. She finished three bars of chocolate in a few minutes and was on her fourth.
Luke made some tea for himself. It was authentic China green tea, which he had just bought at a supermarket.
Selina continued with her tea, while Carol was given an energy drink.
Taking a sip of the tea, Luke asked, "Miss Carol, why are you here?"
Carol paused for a moment and lowered her head. "I … I didn't really want to do anything. I just wanted to thank you in person."
Luke said, "But you're being hunted by the FBI. You'll be easily discovered if you come here. That's not a wise choice. "
Carol stammered, "I … I don't know if I can go there."
Luke was silent for a moment as all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. In the end, he made a decision. "Carol, if you had fallen into the hands of the FBI agents yesterday, you probably wouldn't have ended up too badly. But if you were caught by the military, you'd be better off dead. "
Carol exclaimed and looked at him in bewilderment.
Luke didn't explain. He continued, "You're a mutant, aren't you?"
Carlo stood up and quickly took a few steps back, assuming a cautious stance.
Luke, however, remained calm. "Don't be surprised. It's just a random guess. Now, I'm going to ask you some questions. You have to answer them honestly, and I'll show you a way out. Are you willing to do that? "
After a brief hesitation, Carol nodded. She had always been an ordinary girl, and couldn't deal with her current predicament.
Luke pointed at the couch and said, "Sit down."
Carol sat down obediently.
Luke asked, "Actually, we investigated your shooting yesterday, so I have a rough idea of your situation. Can you tell me why you went to the Mexican gang's warehouse? "
Carol gnashed her teeth. "They sent someone to kill me. I know the guy who tried to kill me. His name is Franco, and he's with the manager. "
Luke asked, "Why did they kill you?"
Carol said, "Because when I got off the night shift, I saw that they were transporting the drugs to the warehouse in the back. I was so scared that I ran away. Who knew that they actually saw me. I didn't go to work for three days, and that Franco broke into my apartment and killed me. "
Selina had a conflicted expression on her face. It was too weird to hear a living person say that she had been killed in front of her.
Luke asked, "Then why are you going to the warehouse?"
Carol said, "I want revenge. If I find Franco there, I'll kill him. If their shipment is still there, I'll burn it. "
Luke chuckled. A woman was truly vengeful.
At this point, Carlo's words matched up with the intelligence he knew.
However, Luke still asked, "Where did you get the courage to take revenge on the Mexican gang? You were killed by them just now. "
Carlo hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know either, but when I woke up again, I realized that my body had changed. I was much stronger and more agile."
Luke understood.
Although the name of the self-healing ability seemed to only focus on physical recovery, there were many Mutants with this ability.
Sabertooth, Wolverine, Death Woman, and Deadpool were almost all melee experts.
It would be strange if the self-healing ability didn't boost physical strength and agility.
Carol, on the other hand, had probably awakened her X gene when she was on the verge of death, and her self-healing ability had only just emerged. Her strength and agility were only slightly higher than a regular person's, otherwise Luke wouldn't have defeated her so easily.
Of course, that was already very scary.
Carol was a young girl who weighed no more than forty kilograms, and she was twice as strong and agile as a regular person. She could easily jump three meters high.
Luke nodded. "Okay, that's fine with me. There's only one way to get out of this mess. Go to Westchester, New York, find Xavier College for Gifted Youths, and ask Professor X to take you in. You'll be safe then. "
Carol was stunned. "Youths?"
Luke looked at her and couldn't help but smile. "I've read your file. Although you're already 23, you've just awakened, and you can still seek help there. After all, they have students, but they also need teachers and support staff. They're basically all mutants there. Nobody will discriminate against you. "
Carol found it hard to believe. "Really? There's really such a place? "
Luke nodded. "So, your problem is actually how to get into Xavier College for Gifted Youths safely. It's actually a public location for certain organizations. The FBI agents who arrested you probably have surveillance there too. "
Carlo's expression immediately turned gloomy.
Luke thought for a moment, then returned to his room. A moment later, he came out with a stack of cash.
He gave the money to Carol and said, "There's about eight thousand dollars here. Take the money and choose a place without surveillance. You can buy a taxi or hitch a ride. Remember not to enter a big city, and avoid all possible surveillance. Cover your face at all times. Also, be careful when you get to New York, and don't approach Xavier College for Gifted Youths casually. My suggestion is to observe from afar, and it's best if you can ask for help from the college's powerful mutants when they're out. Professor X's name is Charles. Right now … he's probably a bald old man in a wheelchair. Storm Lady Ororo is a young black woman with white hair, Laser Eyes Scott is a young white man with a special eye patch, and Black Phoenix Gretel is a young white woman. "
The two girls were dumbfounded.
A moment later, Selina finally asked, "How … do you know so much? Could it be … "
Luke shook his head. "I'm not a mutant, but don't forget about Robert."
Selina was enlightened. "Oh, Robert knows too many people. Did you hear this from him?"
Luke smiled but didn't say anything. He then said to Carol, who was still in a daze, "Remember, stealth is the most important thing. You should know how hard it is to deal with the FBI agents who are after you. You won't be able to get away if they catch you. "
Looking at the cash in her hand, Carol asked a moment later, "Why … are you helping me?"
She subconsciously looked at Selina.
Selina was a hot Latin American beauty, and she was also a police officer. She had a vivacious, heroic, sexy, and capable temperament.
Carol was just an ordinary Caucasian woman. She could be considered pretty at best. In terms of overall appearance, she was at least a level lower than Selina.
It was unlikely that Luke was helping her because she was pretty.
