Saber, Catherine, and Lewis were sitting in the living room, eating the dinner carefully cooked by the hotel's chef. There was beef, chicken breast, and a salad of fresh fruits and vegetables. Lewis, who liked to be surrounded by people, also opened a bottle of wine that was said to be his collection.
The three of them chatted. Most of the time, it was Catherine and Lewis talking. Saber relaxed and enjoyed the fullness brought by the food. After staying alone for three years, he became much less talkative.
"Bang!"
The sound of something being smashed interrupted the atmosphere between the three of them. A moment later, the door to the living room was rudely pushed open. Logan rushed in with a face full of rage. He stood beside the dining table with a murderous aura. The six metal claws in his hands had already popped out, and it looked like he would start a fight at any moment.
Catherine and Lewis both stopped eating. Lewis even took out his gun, but Saber was still cutting the steak unhurriedly, as if he didn't see Logan at all.
"Where is he?!"
Logan roared. Saber stuffed the beef in his hand into his mouth, put down the knife and fork, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. He looked up at Logan.
"He's gone … I let him go. Do you have a problem with that?"
"You!!!"
Logan saw the indifferent expression on Saber's face, and anger rose from his heart. He raised his left fist and was about to smash it down, but at this moment, Saber whispered again.
"In two hours, I'm going to kill Stryker. If you're lucky, you can find him there too. Do you want to come with me?"
Logan's fist stopped for a moment. It could be seen from his eyes that his heart was struggling, weighing, and thinking … The kind of anger that was almost instantly put away, this kind of self-control made Saber a little envious.
He knew himself best. Although he looked very powerful now, Saber had never dared to unleash his power without any scruples. His instincts told him that if he did so, something bad would happen. The red light that pulsed in his eyes seemed to prove this point.
Hawkins told Saber that the red light was caused by his irises being damaged by the self-healing ability, and it did not mean anything else. However, Saber did not think so, or perhaps it was not the only reason.
There might be other secrets in this pair of mutated eyes that he did not know.
"Hu …"
Logan suddenly pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table. He picked up a knife and fork and placed a large piece of beef in front of him. He spoke in a muffled voice as he ate in big mouthfuls.
"I will go with you … If you dare to lie to me, I will chop off your head! I swear! "
Saber nodded nonchalantly. After Logan quickly finished the third piece of beef, he spoke in a low voice.
"Aren't you going to see your brother?"
"John?"
Logan suddenly recalled that he still had an old friend here. He slapped his head and followed Lewis to John's room. After Logan left, Catherine, who was poking at the steak on her plate with her fork, said softly. The little girl said in disdain, "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to you.
"He actually forgot about the cowboy who risked his life for him. That guy is so disgusting!"
"No, Catherine. He didn't want to do that."
Saber picked up the glass of water and turned to look out the window. "Hawkins told me that the experiment Logan underwent was harmful to the human body. The harm has only just surfaced … His memory organ seems to have been damaged. Didn't you notice that he never mentioned Remy Leber? That's why they came to Las Vegas. "
The little girl raised her eyebrows and then her eyes became sympathetic.
"Tsk tsk, that's so pitiful … If I forgot about you, I would cry myself to death."
"Child's words …"
Saber smiled and patted Catherine's head. Deep in his eyes, there was a trace of worry that Catherine couldn't see. If Logan's serum still couldn't help him repair his gradually collapsing genetic chain … He probably wouldn't have much time left to accompany Catherine.
Fellow sufferers really sympathize with each other.
In the other room, Logan, whose eyes were red, sat in a chair next to John. John, the optimistic guy who always liked to drink Lone Star beer and listen to rock music from the last century, couldn't be optimistic anymore. He wore an oxygen mask, and his body was filled with all kinds of syringes. There was also a terrible wound on his abdomen. Even in his sleep, his face was filled with endless pain.
"His body can recover … But the doctor said he might not be able to stand up for the rest of his life."
Lewis whispered to Logan. "His spine is seriously damaged. If there's no miracle … But I think you guys have a way."
"Hmm?"
Logan looked at him. Lewis scratched his head embarrassedly and asked curiously.
"Don't you mutants have all kinds of strange abilities? I'm thinking, isn't there an ability that can heal the disease? "
Logan's eyes dimmed. He shook his head. "No, at least in my memory, no."
"We're just mutants. We're not God."
Saber walked in from behind the two. He said, "Don't make it difficult for him. Lewis, take the girl back to New York and make sure she goes to school on time … We have to do our own things."
"I'm not going back!"
Behind him, Catherine pounced on Saber's back. She grabbed his neck and shook it. "I don't want to go back! I want to go with you guys to beat up the bad guys! "
Saber's body didn't move. He reached out and patted Catherine's arm.
"Listen to me! It's dangerous there. Take the earliest flight back to New York and tell the professor to prepare to clean up the mess. "
"I'm not going back!"
Catherine's attitude was firm. Saber's face turned cold.
"Go back!"
After seeing Saber's expression, Catherine jumped down without a word. She turned and walked out. Lewis followed. When only the two of them were left, Saber shook his head helplessly.
"You and your sister are really close …"
Logan took one last look at John and patted the cowboy's arm as if making a promise. He looked up at Saber and his eyes turned cold again.
"Let's go! We've wasted too much time. "
Saber glanced at him. "There are weapons in the house next door. You used to be a soldier. You should know how to use them, right?"
"Zeng"
Three silver-white blades popped out of his skin. Logan looked at the transformed claws and shook his head.
"No need … This is enough!"
"Zeng"
Saber pulled the hilt in his hand. The blade and the scabbard made a metallic sound. He glanced at Logan. "What a coincidence. Me too."
Las Vegas was located in Nevada, not far from Mexico … Saber had spoken to Harvey on the phone earlier. The two-faced man was not surprised by Saber's return. To him, the world was two-sided. It was either positive or negative. His divination had predicted that Saber was still alive, so he would return sooner or later.
However, this news made him quite happy. At least Saber's promise to him would not be broken. As for Saber's request, Harvey readily agreed. So, at the same time the plane to New York took off, a fully fueled private jet also took off at the Las Vegas airport.
Four hours later, Saber and Logan were already in the air above Three Mile Island. The pilot wearing sunglasses did not lower his altitude to prevent being detected by the radar. He was still flying at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters. The distant Three Mile Island was already in sight. He gave the two people in the cabin a thumbs-up, indicating that they could jump.
Seiber, who was wearing a flying helmet and a flying suit, opened the cabin door abruptly. The cold wind blew into the cabin. He turned around and looked at Logan, who was wearing the same outfit, but was clearly uncomfortable, and said with a smile, "Let's go.
"What? The famous Logan is afraid of flying? "
Wolverine bared his teeth at him. "If you fell from a plane, you would be afraid too!"
But fear was fear. Logan was the first to jump out of the cabin. He opened his arms, and the unique bionic wings on the flying suit unfolded. He quickly glided downward. Saber took a deep breath, spread out his hands, and fell into the air with a classic "leap of faith". The two glided through the air like silent bats in the night.
However, just as the plane was about to turn around, Seiber raised his head abruptly and saw a girl falling from the bottom of the plane.
"Damn it!"
He cursed, but there was nothing he could do.
When Catherine jumped out of the plane, her face was pale. In the few seconds she fell, she really regretted secretly following them. With her ability, let alone Lewis, even if Saber personally escorted her, he might not be able to stop her.
But looking at Catherine, who was wearing a flying helmet and giving him a thumbs up, and then gliding toward Three Mile Island with her arms open in a skillful manner, Saber was angry but also relieved.
Catherine was not such an insensible girl. The reason why she was so clingy to him must be because she sensed something bad. The mutants' perception in this regard was definitely superhuman.
Hopefully, Hawkins didn't reveal anything to her that shouldn't be said.
The new Three Mile Island base was heavily guarded. This island was one of the evacuation sites after the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident in Pennsylvania. The island had a complete urban structure and a small garrison. It could be said that this was a typical American town, but the military base behind the town prohibited civilians from entering.
There was also a military radar station here to monitor for intrusions. But for three human-sized targets, the radar was useless. Moreover, Saber and the other two didn't directly land on Three Mile Island. They landed on the sea 200 meters away from the island and swam to the shore.
Catherine, who took off her helmet, stood timidly in front of Saber. She was ready to be scolded, but Saber just sighed and didn't say anything.
"Take care of yourself. We may not have time to take care of you later … Cough cough … You're too … Cough cough …"
As Saber was talking, he suddenly coughed violently. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his mouth. The taste of blood and the taste of blood in his mouth made Saber squint. Catherine's face showed a worried look. She clutched Saber's shoulder tightly and looked at him. The latter threw the handkerchief into the sea and patted her head.
"It's okay. Don't worry."
Whoosh!
Logan suddenly sniffed, and the sharp blades on his fists popped out at the same time. "Be careful, someone's coming!"
Saber immediately grabbed Catherine's hand, and the three of them crawled on the back of the undulating beach. A moment later, they saw a Hummer drive over and stop on the beach. More than a dozen soldiers carried some things to the simple dock on the sea.
Saber and Logan could see things in the dark. When they saw the black bags in the soldiers' hands, they looked at each other and had a bad feeling.
"Why did we kill so many test subjects today?"
A soldier whispered to his companion. The latter also lowered his voice and replied, "It's said that a big shot from Congress is coming here, so they have to get rid of some inconvenient information in advance … Speaking of which, it's really tragic. I heard from Old Woolf that the executioners today all broke down in the end. They were all children … Holy Mother of God, what are we doing?"
"I quit!"
A few seconds later, the first soldier cursed fiercely. "I didn't join the army to be an executioner. I will apply for a transfer tomorrow. Even the Middle East is better than here! I don't want to go to hell after I die! "
His words immediately won the approval of the other soldiers. After they left, Saber and Logan walked to the beach. Logan looked up at the military base in the dark, and an indescribable feeling of anger filled his heart. Anyone with a conscience would not be calm after seeing such a horrifying thing with their own eyes.
He clenched his fists so hard that his teeth almost broke.
"Stryker … This bastard should go to hell!"
